CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 255: UTTERLY CONVINCED (PART 2)

"Taking advantage of Master Uncle."

Zhou Li seemed to have already acknowledged Chen Ku’s identity and strength, holding the Phoenix Wing Gold Plated Mace, he said calmly:

"I hope you don’t mind."

Chen Ku nodded, holding the staff with one hand, signaling Zhou Li to take the initiative and attack first this time.

Whoosh~~~

The courtyard had a faint airflow that swirled and spread, making everyone’s hair flutter.

In an instant, everyone in the courtyard held their breath, looking at the two people ten zhang apart.

Boom!

After experiencing the terrifying speed at which Chen Ku instantly decided the outcome earlier, Zhou Li no longer intended to let Chen Ku make the first move out of arrogance; he moved directly!

He stomped heavily, as if flipping the ground over, his raised arm suddenly clenched.

Tear!

It seemed like a three-headed flood dragon came to life in his palm, and under the immense fluctuation, everyone’s heartbeat at the scene paused for a moment.

The next moment, amidst the earth’s tremor.

Zhou Li flipped holding the Phoenix Wing Divine Weapon, slashing fiercely at Chen Ku. This strike unleashed the terrifying power of seven dragons and seven elephants to its fullest in the sky, causing an explosion in the sky within a few miles!

Even on the long street outside the Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting, many people felt as if some terrifying ancient beast had been released.

And in the courtyard of the Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting, along with Zhou Li’s mace strike, a dreadful will akin to a heavenly river cascading down enveloped Chen Ku, seeming to confine him under the mace, threatening to shatter his extreme speed!

"He attacked with full force!"

Qin Fang and others were blown so hard by Zhou Li’s full-force momentum that their faces twitched wildly, their bodies nearly unable to stand firm, all calmly looking at Chen Ku:

"This mace carries the divine power of the seventh layer of the God Shaking Decision. Can he withstand it?"

Under this mace, Chen Ku felt a momentum akin to the sky collapsing, yet having personally experienced the true pressure of the ’Young Champion Marquis’ at the Seventh Realm, he felt that this Zhou Li was still lacking compared to the Champion Marquis.

Witnessing this mace strike coming down, Chen Ku’s eyes flickered slightly, his Electric Light Divine Walk glided smoothly underfoot, tearing through the surrounding pressure at the speed of thought of two or three miles in an instant.

Zhou Li’s pupils contracted!

In his line of sight, under his own mace, Chen Ku’s figure glided smoothly, leaving an afterimage that seemed to freeze time for an instant, slipping through beneath his mace!

Creating a beautifully smooth scene for a moment.

"No!"

Zhou Li’s thoughts shifted drastically, immediately trying to change moves, yet had already glimpsed an afterimage from the corner of his eye coming from above diagonally.

Almost as an instinctive reaction.

He raised the Phoenix Wing Gold Plated Mace abruptly over his two shoulders.

The next moment!

Chen Ku appeared in midair, smashing a stick down on top of Zhou Li,

Clang!

Yet it was caught precisely by the Phoenix Wing Gold Plated Mace against the thousand-jun heavy staff swinging down from the upper left!

At the moment of the clash between the staff and the mace.

Boom!!!

The terrifying airwave immediately centered on the two weapons, forming a tsunami-like hurricane, raging and blowing in all directions!!

Swish swish!!

In the blink of an eye, sand and dust rose abruptly in the hundred-zhang wide field of Yangwu Hall.

Boom! Boom!...

When the terrifying hurricane instantly collided with Qin Fang and other Grand Protectors watching, as well as the other guards within the meeting, besides experts above the Sixth Realm barely being able to maintain their stance.

Other Fifth Realm level experts, with unsteady footing, were all blown three or four meters away by the airwave created by the collision of the two’s weapons, as if hit in the chest by an oncoming train from the front!

"What!!"

Everyone was shocked!

Even Zhou Li, who blocked Chen Ku’s staff smashing down from the air, changed his expression after feeling the weight on the staff:

"You have the power of seven dragons as well?"

Chen Ku did not answer, after his staff was blocked by Zhou Li, he used the momentum to pull back the distance, then seized the rhythm of the battle outright, swinging and slashing all ten styles of the Furious Ape Mighty Staff back to front, left, and right onto Zhou Li’s body.

Zhou Li instantly lost the battle rhythm, caught off guard by Chen Ku, could only be forced to block back and forth with the Divine Blade!

Clang! Clang clang clang clang!!!

In an instant, the sounds of their weapons colliding were like the heavy hammer drums of a battlefield, echoing for miles, blasting the air, repeatedly colliding, fast enough to leave one breathless!

Until Zhou Li was forced back dozens of zhang, suddenly, Zhou Li gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Wind Forest Fire Mountain Formation! Activate!"

Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from inside and outside his body.

Chen Ku immediately sensed it. At this moment, it was as if Zhou Li had stars lighting up inside him, one by one, connecting into lines, and then those lines outlined an array map!

"Wind Forest Fire Mountain Formation!"

"Old Seven was forced to activate the great formation at the start!"

"That’s not good; Old Seven is still in the Array Nourishing Stage, not yet at great achievement. Activating the internal great formation early is detrimental to his future cultivation!"

The Six Realm Array Veins, five stages: Vitality Period, Array Formation Stage, Array Eye Stage, Array Nourishing Stage, and Great Achievement Stage!

Zhou Li had already reached the Array Nourishing Stage of the Six Realm Array Veins. At this stage, the internal great formation is still in the warming and practicing phase, not suitable for activation...

"Wind Forest Fire Mountain, swift as the wind!"

But Zhou Li still forcibly mobilized the internal great formation, Wind Forest Fire Mountain, swift as the wind, calm as the forest, aggressive as fire, and immovable as a mountain. There were four great formations in total, also the great formations Qin Yuxian once trained in.

Unexpectedly.

Just as he was preparing to activate all the internal great formations.

He saw Chen Ku, who had distanced himself, make a gesture, pointing at him:

"Calm!"

Immediately, Zhou Li felt as if his thoughts were filled with lead and mercury, unable to function, his brain unable to turn...

"It’s... spi...ritual..."

As his thoughts slowly moved.

Chen Ku instantly flashed and approached, the Coiled Dragon Staff in his hand swung around, transforming with True Qi into a fiery red staff tens of feet long, like a comet with a trailing flame!

After raising it high, suddenly,

it crashed down!

By the time Zhou Li finally broke away from that moment of ’Spiritual Calming’ technique with his tenacious spirit, he was met face-to-face with the fiery comet tail coming at him.

It was only then he discovered the internal gathering of half the great formation had been forcibly interrupted by the earlier spiritual means.

And then, he was struck squarely by this blow crashing down from above his head!

"No!"

"He’s going to kill Old Seven!"

In that instant, Qin Fang and the other Grand Protectors’ faces turned pale, shouting miserably:

"No!"

They realized something was wrong when Chen Ku forcibly interrupted Zhou Li’s formation initiation. Sure enough, Chen Ku was about to decide the victory with this strike.

However, when they saw the power of Chen Ku’s staff, they were all horrified.

Aiming for the crown of the head.

Even if Old Seven had the power of Seven Dragons and Seven Elephants, an iron body, the head remains the most fragile part, and this strike...

It could truly kill someone!

Just as several Grand Protectors were filled with rage, almost about to simultaneously attack Chen Ku without hesitation.

They saw...

As Zhou Li was already in a daze.

The staff, raised high and crashing down fiercely, stopped an inch from Zhou Li’s head, turned into... a blow without any force.

Others instinctively stopped their actions as well.

And they looked at Zhou Li.

Zhou Li was utterly lost, finally lowering his proud head, smiling bitterly:

"Convinced, wholeheartedly."

He initially felt dissatisfied with Chen Ku forcibly interrupting the initiation of his internal formation. If he could activate the ’Gale Formation’ within the Wind Forest Fire Mountain Formation, he might capture some of Chen Ku’s speed...

Yet Chen Ku interrupted him, making him feel he hadn’t fully displayed his true strength, until Chen Ku’s heavy and light stop of the staff.

Made him truly ashamed.

Otherwise, if he had the absolute advantage, he would surely inflict some pain on Chen Ku, some superficial injuries, never expecting...

Counting the earlier defeat, losing twice in succession.

What is there to be unconvinced about?

Not to mention the great formation not being activated; since Chen Ku could interrupt his formation process, that is his skill, and at this moment, he could already kill him!

What is there to be unconvinced about?

If it were truly a life-and-death duel, front and back, he would have lost two lives already.

Chen Ku heard the answer of surrender from Zhou Li and smiled slightly, pointing the staff in his hand at the other Grand Protectors not far away, saying:

"And you all, if anyone’s unconvinced, you can continue sparring with me until you’re all convinced."
