Hearing this, Xiao Ruobai immediately gripped the Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd tightly. Dark gold battle qi erupted from his body with a "boom," even more intense than before.
Having constantly battled young Great Emperors in the Prodigy Tower, his battle intent had grown increasingly domineering. Now, meeting Gu Changge's gaze, he felt his blood boiling.
He shot a glance at Fang Hanyu, and the two instantly separated.
Xiao Ruobai charged forward head-on, carrying the halberd. The vitality of the War God Physique surged through his meridians, causing the bluestone slabs to tremble slightly with every step.
Fang Hanyu flanked from the rear side, his Absolute Beginning Sword pointing diagonally at the ground. Chaos sword qi condensed into fine glints, like a venomous snake ready to strike, waiting for Gu Changge to reveal an opening.
"Master, watch out!"
Xiao Ruobai let out a low shout and suddenly executed his Shadow-Treading Steps. Like an arrow released from the bowstring, he pounced towards Gu Changge, the Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd cleaving down with a piercing whistle.
The dark gold battle qi at the tip of the halberd condensed into a half-foot-long blade of light, wrapped in an unstoppable battle intent, even tearing fine fissures in the air.
This was a new move he created by fusing the traits of the War God Physique with the combat experience of the Heaven-Battling Great Emperor's projection. Concentrating all his battle qi at the tip of the halberd made it several times fiercer than before; even the Great Emperor projections in the tower had been forced to retreat repeatedly by this move.
Fang Hanyu seized the opportunity to move!
He calculated the gap when Gu Changge dealt with the frontal assault, and the Absolute Beginning Sword left its sheath with a "swish." Chaos sword qi shot towards Gu Changge's side like a cyan rainbow.
The sword strike was fast and sharp, without any feints. This was his grasp of combat timing summarized in the tower.
When an opponent raised their hand to block, their side was often the easiest opening to overlook; even the Void Emperor projection had stumbled over this.
Gu Changge looked at the tacitly coordinated offensive of the two, a trace of approval flashing in his eyes, but he kept his cultivation firmly suppressed at the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm.
It wasn't until the halberd blade was about to reach his head that he slowly raised his hand into a palm. Pale cyan spiritual energy, wrapped in the force of the Purple Mansion Realm, gently pressed against the shaft of the Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound rang out. Xiao Ruobai only felt a dense yet profound force surging along the halberd shaft. The originally domineering battle qi was like hitting cotton, instantly dissipating by more than half.
The Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd clattered to the ground. He retreated five steps, the webbing between his thumb and forefinger slightly numb, and the churning dark gold battle qi around him flickered into afterimages.
Obviously, his master had only used the force of the Purple Mansion Realm, yet he had cleanly neutralized his all-out strike, leaving no room for a counterattack.
Seeing his senior brother suffer a loss, Fang Hanyu's chaos sword qi violently surged with a "boom," and the Absolute Beginning Sword thrust straight at Gu Changge's back.
But Gu Changge seemed to have eyes on his back. With a light shift of his steps, he dodged the sword blade, simultaneously flicking his hand backward. Pale cyan spiritual energy swept across the sword blade in an ingenious arc.
Fang Hanyu only felt a deflecting force transmit along the sword blade. The condensed chaos sword qi dissipated with a "pfft," and the Absolute Beginning Sword almost slipped from his grasp. He staggered two steps before steadying himself, the hair at his temples messed up by the wind.
"Coming again?"
Gu Changge stood before the two, spinning a lustrous spirit fruit at his fingertips, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.
Xiao Ruobai stood up, clutching his numb hand. Just as he was about to raise his battle qi again, he saw Fang Hanyu staring at Gu Changge's palm, his eyes full of shock.
That deflecting force just now was too exquisite, completely exceeding his understanding of spiritual energy control in the Purple Mansion Realm.
Xiao Ruobai stared at Gu Changge's unchanging stance, his eyes suddenly flickering, and he secretly transmitted his voice to Fang Hanyu.
"Junior brother, Master has been using deflecting methods and has never taken our attacks head-on! I guess his spiritual energy and physical body in the Purple Mansion Realm are definitely not as profound as ours.
Later, I'll attack the middle, using the vitality of the War God Physique to lock down his deflection space. You ambush from below, forcing him to raise his hand to block forcefully!"
A trace of understanding flashed in Fang Hanyu's eyes, and he secretly nodded in response.
When the two assumed their offensive stances again, their momentum was even greater than before.
Xiao Ruobai no longer rushed to attack but poured all his dark gold battle qi into the Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd. The halberd shaft emitted a heavy glow as he smashed it horizontally towards Gu Changge's chest.
This move no longer pursued speed but used the weight of the War God Physique's vitality to suppress, deliberately leaving Gu Changge no angle to deflect.
Under the cover of Xiao Ruobai's battle qi, Fang Hanyu slid the Absolute Beginning Sword close to the ground. Chaos sword qi condensed into a low-lying sharp glint, thrusting straight at Gu Changge's calf, perfectly catching the blind spot of Xiao Ruobai's battle qi.
"Oh? Changed your moves?"
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow, looking at the pincer attack from above and below, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
He didn't dodge sideways or deflect like before. Instead, he raised his hand into a fist, pale cyan spiritual energy condensing in his palm, and smashed it head-on against Xiao Ruobai's halberd shaft—this time, he actually chose to meet it forcefully!
"Bang!"
The moment the halberd shaft and fist collided, Xiao Ruobai only felt a force several times more profound than before surging over. His dark gold battle qi was instantly shaken and churned. He retreated three steps before steadying himself, his arms so numb he could barely grip the halberd shaft.
And just as Fang Hanyu's sword approached Gu Changge's calf, it was blocked by an invisible spiritual energy. The chaos sword qi dissipated with a "ding," and the Absolute Beginning Sword was bounced back half a foot.
The two looked at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.
The force of that head-on block just now was several times more profound than they imagined.
Gu Changge retracted his fist, looking at their dumbfounded expressions, and couldn't help but laugh: "What? Thought I didn't dare to take it head-on?"
Before the two could recover, Gu Changge slowly stepped forward.
The pale cyan spiritual energy around him remained steady, but the oppressive feeling of the peak Purple Mansion Realm suddenly grew stronger.
Even though he only casually raised his hand, Xiao Ruobai felt as if the master before him was an unshakable mountain, making even his breathing sluggish.
It was clearly taking the physical body and spiritual energy control of the Purple Mansion Realm to the extreme, every inch of force exuding an "unshakable" meaning.
One must know that Gu Changge's Primordial Divine Physique was the number one physique in the Myriad Heavens and Realms. Even suppressed to the Purple Mansion Realm, it was absolutely incomparable to others.
The borrowing of force to strike just now was merely because he was too lazy to fight forcefully. If he really got serious, the two wouldn't even be able to take half a move.
"Still dazed?"
Gu Changge raised his hand and threw a punch towards Xiao Ruobai's head.
This strike seemed slow but sealed off all angles for Xiao Ruobai to dodge.
Xiao Ruobai's pupils contracted. The instinct of the War God Physique made him want to raise his halberd to block, but a familiar feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
Looking at Gu Changge's massive fist, his mind went blank, and he suddenly dropped to his knees with a "thump," scraping two glaring shallow marks on the bluestone slab.
His whole person slid to Gu Changge's feet in an extremely miserable posture. He didn't even have time to retract his halberd; the Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd clattered to the ground, while his hands hugged Gu Changge's thigh like grasping a life-saving straw.
Even his voice trembled slightly: "Master! I yield! I really yield! Please don't hit my face!!!"
This sudden change happened too fast, so fast that Fang Hanyu froze in place.
The hand holding the Absolute Beginning Sword still maintained the thrusting posture, the chaos sword qi condensed at the tip not having time to dissipate, while his eyes stared blankly at his senior brother hugging their master's thigh.
The Xiao Ruobai who was full of battle intent and shouting "the advantage is mine" a moment ago, surrendered in such a "spineless" posture the next second.
The sheer contrast was so jarring that his brain short-circuited. He even forgot to breathe, feeling nothing but the uncontrollable twitching of the muscles at the corner of his mouth.
Gu Changge was also taken aback.
He looked down at Xiao Ruobai, who was currently wrapped around his leg like a vine. The streak of spiritual energy that was meant to strike the boy dissipated with a soft poof.
He had originally intended to use this strike to show these two brats the true might of the Primordial Divine Body. After all, even with his cultivation realm suppressed, his physical toughness was far beyond that of any ordinary Purple Mansion Realm cultivator.
But who could have anticipated that this kid would pull a stunt like this, completely shattering the imposing aura he had so carefully built up?
"You..."
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow in exasperation. He tried to pull his leg free, only to find Xiao Ruobai clinging to it in a death grip, as if glued to his flesh.
"Didn't you just say you were going to 'join forces and defeat your master'? Are you chickening out already?"
