Realizer of Death : The Reaper-Chapter 122 122
?The atmosphere at the seats of the patriarch and the elders of the Gu family was grave after they saw Gu Qingyang being suppressed by Tenku in the match. They were annoyed, angry, and embarrassed by what happened in the arena, especially after Gu Yuxuan's boastful words about his grandson earlier. It was like a slap in the face.
Initially, the people on the high platform were shocked when they saw Gu Qingyang using the deadly and vicious technique of the Gu family, Poison Dark Energy. Not many disciples from the Gu family could condense black poisonous Qi to that extent at the age of twenty.
They required great understanding, effort, pain tolerance, and control to handle the technique. If they couldn't do that, they would die from being swallowed up by that poisonous Qi.
But when the patriarchs and elders on the high platform saw that Tenku could efficiently deal with Gu Qingyang's attack, they were again in awe of that disciple Wang Haotian. He is strong and intelligent, with excellent comprehension and analysis. Tenku quickly came up with a solution to counter Gu Qingyang's attacks.
"It seems your grandson can't do anything to my apprentice even after using that vicious poison technique, Yuxuan." Wang Haotian looked at Gu Yuxuan and spoke.
"The match isn't over yet, and my grandson still hasn't used all his strength. So you better shut up and watch the battle quietly." Gu Yuxuan retorted in annoyance.
"Ooh, so you're saying your grandson can reverse the situation in the arena if he uses his full strength?" Wang Haotian smiled playfully.
"Of course. Do you think Qingyang will lose to your disciple? You're overestimating that boy's strength. No matter how strong your disciple is, the one who will win this competition is my grandson." Gu Yuxuan said confidently.
"Isn't it too early for you to say something like that? But it's okay. I know that you believe in your grandson's power just as much as I believe in my disciple. I am also curious how Gu Qingyang will reverse the situation in that arena." Wang Haotian said with a face full of anticipation. Of course, he wanted to see Tenku defeating Gu Qingyang, which would give Gu Yuxuan a heavy slap for his words.
"You'll see it with your own eyes. If anything happens to that boy, don't complain or get angry at the Gu family for your weak disciple." Gu Yuxuan snorted and returned his focus to the arena.
He didn't want to talk too much with Wang Haotian for fear of getting emotional and then fighting with him in front of the patriarchs and elders of the other major families. Moreover, he felt Gu Tianba's intense gaze on him. Although that person didn't say anything, Gu Yuxuan knew that the other party ordered him to shut his mouth.
The battle in the arena grew fiercer, and Tenku finally managed to land his sword on Gu Qingyang. It made the elders of the Gu family on the high platform panic. They became even more worried after seeing Gu Qingyang's body enlarged with a ferocious aura that made his complexion darken. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"That is…" Lin Ruiming narrowed his eyes and said softly.
"Demon transformation of the Gu family. I didn't expect Gu Qingyang to use that technique when cornered." Long Haoran continued the words of the Lin family patriarch.
Gu Yuxuan's face sank when he saw that. Demon transformation is one of the techniques in the Ancient Demon Scripture. As the name suggests, demon transformation is a technique that will turn a cultivator into a demon. Of course, the change was not only physical but also power.
A cultivator's body will enlarge and become more robust and solid when using demon transformation. Moreover, his cultivation base would also increase. In other words, Gu Qingyang now possessed the strength of a practitioner at the late stage of the Sky Origin realm.
The elders of the Gu family became worried because they knew the technique was not without side effects. When a cultivator used Demon transformation, he would forcefully unlock all the potential within every single cell in his body and transform it into physical strength and profound Qi to break through realms. After that, he will gain great power according to his latent potential.
But after the transformation ended, he would lose all of his strength and couldn't even move a finger. He will lie in bed for a few months or maybe a few years.
Another side effect was that he would lose potency, and his path as a practitioner would stop, as there would no longer be any advancement in his cultivation base. Of course, it could be cured with Holy water or extremely rare and priceless innate treasures. For that reason, the faces of the Gu family elders became gloomy. They were afraid that their first genius would suffer the worst side effects.
"Why did Qingyang use demon transformation instead of consuming that stuff?" Gu Yuxuan saw Gu Qingyang in the arena and clenched his fists tightly to suppress the worry in his heart.
He knew Gu Qingyang was angry because Tenku had injured him in front of many people and made him lose face. But he should have remembered what the Gu family patriarch had given him before the martial arts competition started.
"Is it because of that?" Gu Yuxuan suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Gu Qingyang on the night of the first day of the martial arts competition. But then he shook his head and sighed. There was no point in him thinking about it now. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m
It had already happened, and he couldn't cry over spilled milk. Gu Yuxuan hoped that Gu Qingyang could defeat Tenku quickly to avoid the worst side effects. If Gu Qingyang only lay in bed for a few months, it wouldn't be a problem. In addition, Gu Yuxuan will find a solution to speed up his recovery so that his grandson only needs to rest for a few weeks.
At the same time, Wang Zeming and the others stood up from their seats when they saw the changes in Gu Qingyang's physique and cultivation base. Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue no longer cared about their condition. Their face was pale because they were worried about Tenku's situation in the arena. His opponent no longer looks like a human but a terrible and cruel demon.
"Is it the demon transformation of the Gu family?" Wang Ruyue looked at Wang Zeming and asked.
"Yes, you're right. I didn't expect Tenku to force Gu Qingyang to use that technique." Wang Zeming said in a deep voice.
Although this was the first time he had seen it, Wang Zeming recognized the characteristics of the technique used by Gu Qingyang as well as its side effects from his grandfather. The two girls who heard that were shocked and became even more anxious because they knew a bit about demon transformation. That technique made Gu Qingyang much stronger than before.
"What should we do? Will Tenku be okay?" Huang Yuxin said frantically.
"Should we stop the match?" Wang Ruyue looked at Wang Zeming and asked his opinion. He also had the same feelings as Huang Yuxin.
"That battle can only be stopped if the participants in the arena admit defeat. The referee will not hear our words. If we insist on doing so, we will be kicked out of here for interfering with the match." Wang Zeming said seriously.
"Is there nothing we can do?" Huang Yuxin hopes that Wang Zeming will have a way to stop the match.
Wang Zeming shook his head helplessly, and the two girls were disappointed when they saw his answer. But just as Wang Ruyue was about to say something else, their attention was distracted by an explosion in the arena.
Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmm!
Gu Qingyang hit the arena where Tenku was standing before. Fortunately, Tenku quickly moved from his position when he saw Gu Qingyang suddenly disappear.
"So fast. Not only his strength, but his speed also increased drastically even with such a big body." Tenku's face became solemn as he felt a hint of threat from Gu Qingyang's current strength. His opponent attacked him with his bare hands because he had thrown away his sword. Even so, Tenku felt that his attacks had become much more dangerous.
"I should be more serious about fighting him. Otherwise, I might lose without even having the chance to use all my strength." Tenku gripped his sword tightly, and his figure disappeared. He appeared at Gu Qingyang's right and slashed out his sword.
But Tenku frowned when he saw his opponent standing still while smiling coldly at him. He stopped his sword right after it touched Gu Qingyang's body and quickly moved away.
Tenku felt that he would fall into danger if he continued his attack, and he trusted his intuition. Unfortunately, he was too late when he saw that his blade had melted from contact with Gu Qingyang's body.
"Is that physique of yours coated in the black poisonous Qi from the previous attack?" Tenku narrowed his eyes at Gu Qingyang's body. He finally found out where the danger he had sensed came from.
"You are right. I don't need to hide it because you will feel it soon." Gu Qingyang grinned viciously and admitted it without hesitation. Then he moved toward Tenku with terrifying speed and instantly closed his distance with his opponent.
Gu Qingyang punched Tenku, but what he hit was an afterimage. Tenku had moved to another place when he felt a vibration in the air around him. He let go of his melted weapon and picked up the sword Gu Qingyang had thrown away. Fortunately, the sword was still in the arena not far from him.
"Do you think changing weapons will make your situation better? You're dreaming!" Gu Qingyang threw a punch at Tenku from a distance and released a ball of black energy.
Poison Dark Energy!
Tenku responded to the attack by pointing his sword at the black energy and firing a Qi bullet.
Tactical Fire!
Booooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!
The two attacks clashed and destroyed a quarter of the arena. After that, Tenku and Gu Qingyang moved simultaneously, colliding in a cloud of smoke and dust.
Tenku had to coat his sword with thick Qi so that it wouldn't melt when it came into contact with his opponent's skin. But that made his strength drain very quickly.
After clashing several times with his opponent, Tenku finally realized that he couldn't hurt Gu Qingyang with physical attacks. At this rate, he would run out of Qi and be forced to use all of his strength.
"I must finish this battle as soon as possible." Tenku said in a low voice, and his momentum changed. His eyes stared intently at Gu Qingyang and then pointed his sword at him.
Meteoric Blast!
