Chapter 191 Main Match
Not long after the Crown Prince left, the Demon General Mo Lin sent someone to report back. Although he didn't know what Gu Yuchuan was planning, he was pleased to have won. No matter who was on the arena the next day, he would fight to the death and make sure the opponent had no hope of survival. Furthermore, they agreed to meet at Gu Yuchuan's place the next night to discuss the ins and outs of the matter in detail.
After dealing with all of this, Gu Yuchuan looked at the Crown Princess. Her status was different now. With this position in the human race, although her aptitude was average, she had the potential to cultivate. Becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be easy for her, and with a little effort, she could barely reach the Golden Core stage.
"Congratulations on getting what you wanted. Focus on your cultivation from now on and don't waste your current schemes. My cooperation with the Crown Prince won't be too difficult. After all, I am a member of the demon race, so I can't help you much. You still have to rely on yourself."
She lifted her skirt and was about to kneel down, but Gu Yuchuan stopped her. If he were to make the Crown Prince's Consort of the human race kneel before him, the fate of humanity would instantly devour him, and he dared not do that.
"Get up quickly, don't hurt me."
Her eyes were red and swollen: "Your Majesty, I will definitely secure my position and take revenge. But Your Majesty, please keep this from my sister. I don't want her to worry about me. I am very satisfied and at ease with her becoming your disciple. Her future is sure to be bright. I hope she can uphold my grandfather's will and become a Foundation Establishment stage, or even a Golden Core stage demon. This is our family's wish, and I hope she can achieve it. As for me, I will avenge my family."
Gu Yuchuan could sense that the other person's heart had gone to an extreme. Such a state was definitely not conducive to cultivation, but there was nothing he could do. Hatred had blinded her heart, and she had embarked on the path of revenge. Naturally, she couldn't let go of the past. He could only wait for the successful revenge.
"I know, just focus on your work. Okay, go and rest. I need to rest too, there's a match tomorrow."
He waved his hand, and the other party bowed and withdrew. He then lay down on the bed to rest. From tomorrow onwards, every battle would be fought with deadly force. King Zhao and Marquis of Champion were indeed a great threat. He was willing to use the Crown Prince's power to make his enemies suffer.
He slept soundly through the night, waking up just as dawn broke. There was still some time before the competition began. He meditated on his bed, reciting the Golden Light Mantra twenty times. Although he was confident about today's competition, it involved life and death, so he was still somewhat apprehensive. After finishing the mantra, he felt a little more at ease. Now it was time to draw lots.
The person in charge of drawing lots was a junior eunuch. When he saw Gu Yuchuan, he was very diligent. It seemed that he was one of the Crown Prince's men. After all, the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince's son held the title and lived in the palace. It was much easier for them to place their own people among the eunuchs than for Prince Zhao. No matter how favored Prince Zhao was, as an adult prince, he could not live in the palace. If you lived far away, it would be difficult to place your people.
The first person drawn was named Tu Yuan, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and one of King Zhao's direct descendants. Like Gu Yuchuan, he also had a perfect record of three wins in the qualifying rounds. Logically, two people with perfect records would avoid being drawn together, but thanks to the Crown Prince's manipulation, they were drawn together.
Gu Yuchuan leaped onto the arena and saw Tu Yuan opposite him, a scholar dressed in a blue robe. He appeared refined and gentle, with an air of frailty. However, Gu Yuchuan dared not underestimate him in the slightest. He knew from the information given by the Crown Prince that the other party was a rare Confucian and Taoist cultivator, possessing a certain degree of power to suppress demons.
However, it is clear that Gu Yuchuan is one of the few demons that he cannot control. The bloodline of the divine dragon is not something that Confucianism or Taoism can restrain.
Confucianism and Taoism are also important paths in human cultivation. They are deeply bound to the human way and were born to consolidate the human way. In the forces of the prosperous dynasties of the human race, there will be Confucian and Taoist cultivators.
The other party seemed to hate the demon race very much. He looked at Gu Yuchuan with contempt and malice in his eyes: "Demon race, prepare to die."
He was aloof and superior, as if even speaking a few words to Gu Yuchuan would be a desecration. He summoned his book, which formed a golden scroll in the air, filled with many words.
"Binding!" he shouted, and two characters for binding flew out from the golden book, transforming into two chains in the air to try to bind Gu Yuchuan.
He snorted coldly: "You mere so-called experts dare to be so presumptuous in front of me."
He threw out two drops of Heavenly Profound Heavy Water, which, with his talent for water manipulation, transformed into two chains. In an instant, four chains flew and intertwined in the air. However, it was clear to anyone with eyes that the chains controlled by Gu Yuchuan were more agile and quickly gained the upper hand.
Tu Yuan was definitely unwilling to accept this. Losing to the demon race would be a matter of life and death for him, so he might as well just die.
A calligraphy brush appeared in his hand, and his hands began to write something in the air: "Suppression".
As soon as he finished writing those two words, a cyan pagoda appeared in the air and pressed down on Gu Yuchuan. Righteous energy formed a cage around him. However, Gu Yuchuan was even happier, because he actually had a pagoda.
The Golden Light Mantra also transformed into a pagoda, and the two pagodas collided directly. This was a clash between the Golden Light Mantra and the Righteous Qi, and even more so a battle between the true teachings of Taoism and Confucianism. What are Confucianism and Taoism anyway? How dare they compare themselves to Taoism? Sure enough, after only a moment of stalemate, the Righteous Qi was scattered, and his life force was shattered. He suffered a backlash and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
Logically speaking, Gu Yuchuan should have won by now, but what he wanted was not a simple victory, but the life of his opponent. His eyes turned cold, and he suppressed his opponent with his magic power, preventing him from admitting defeat. He picked up his spear and charged forward.
He was incredibly fast; in an instant, the spear pierced through Tu Yuan's dantian, damaging his foundation and causing his life to begin to ebb away.
Tu Yuan looked at Gu Yuchuan unwillingly, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only fall on the arena. Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Great Perfection stage had no chance of resisting Gu Yuchuan.
King Zhao clenched his fists as he watched this scene. This was the prodigy he was nurturing, and he was dead just like that. He shouted, "This monster is so ruthless! Is this the sincerity of your demon race in cooperating?"
