Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Testing!
Facing Xu Rigang’s challenge, Zhou Yu remained expressionless:
“Since you insist, I’ll grant your wish.”
Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s agreent, Huo Xing beca anxious and quickly warned:
“Mr. Zhou, Old Xu’s strength is the greatest among the three of us leaders. He stepped into Holy Realm Complete nearly thirty years ago.”
Before Zhou Yu could respond, Azha curled her lips.
She had always found Xu Rigang displeasing, and naturally, her words were sharp.
“So what?”
“Zhou Yu defeated two people like him in our dicine King Village.”
Azha’s words imdiately drew astonished looks from Xu Rigang, He Suyu, and Huo Xing.
Especially Xu Rigang. While he felt sowhat displeased, upon seeing that Azha was rely a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, he simply snorted and treated her words as childish nonsense.
Xu Rigang turned to Zhou Yu.
“Kid, I won’t take advantage of you. I’ll give you a few minutes to prepare. Tell when you’re ready.”
Zhou Yu said indifferently:
“No need. Just make your move.”
Seeing Zhou Yu’s arrogance, Xu Rigang snorted coldly and wasted no ti.
Whoosh!
A faint sound echoed.
Xu Rigang’s massive figure suddenly vanished.
Such fast movent technique.
This surprised Zhou Yu.
However, that was all.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Zhou Yu imdiately stomped hard with one foot, propelling himself sharply into the air.
At the exact mont Zhou Yu shot upward like lightning, a dark shadow brushed beneath his feet.
But then, the shadow disappeared again.
At this mont, Zhou Yu’s figure began to descend.
And just then, the dark shadow abruptly appeared behind Zhou Yu, and Xu Rigang’s figure erged from it.
A cold smile appeared on his face as he unleashed a lightning-fast punch towards Zhou Yu’s back.
Boom!
The punch fiercely landed on Zhou Yu’s figure.
But in the next mont, Zhou Yu, who was hit, vanished unexpectedly.
“An afterimage?”
Xu Rigang was startled and imdiately realized what was happening.
Just then, a voice ca from the side.
“Your speed is indeed remarkable.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Rigang turned to look—and the speaker was Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu stood calmly about thirty ters away, his arms crossed, showing an air of serenity.
Xu Rigang’s eyes narrowed.
“Not bad.”
“In the entire Blood Gu Clan, less than three people can surpass in movent technique.”
“At least for this, you’ve caught my attention.”
Zhou Yu said coolly:
“But there’s a ‘but’ coming, isn’t there?”
Xu Rigang sneered.
“Indeed.”
“But this alone isn’t enough to convince that you’re the one who can help my Blood Gu Clan overco its great crisis. Unless you can take this punch of mine.”
With that, Xu Rigang suddenly twisted his posture into a lunge and charged at Zhou Yu, his fist—large as a sandpot—hamring down.
As the punch descended, a sharp sonic boom erupted from the force of his fist.
This terrifying effect ca from unleashing Qi Force at its peak intensity.
Facing this punch, Zhou Yu didn’t dodge. Instead, his expression turned to one of excitent.
He imdiately activated the Golden Cauldron Technique, supplented by Dragon Gang Strength.
With full power, he struck out with his own punch.
Instantly, over a hundred dragon-shaped Qi forces sprang forth.
The powerful punches of the two collided in an instant.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion resounded, accompanied by fierce Gang Jin shockwaves rippling outward.
Huo Xing and He Suyu, witnessing the impact, instinctively reacted. Simultaneously, they intercepted the spreading shockwaves to prevent collateral damage.
As the titanic collision ended, both Zhou Yu and Xu Rigang were sent flying backward.
Xu Rigang flew nearly a hundred ters before stabilizing himself. His eyes suddenly glowed blood-red.
“Once more!”
With a ferocious shout, Xu Rigang’s blood-red glow began rapidly expanding, enveloping his entire body in monts.
Within the crimson light, a faint image of a red Gu parasite appeared.
At the sa ti, a horrifying surge of power emanated from Xu Rigang.
Seeing this, Huo Xing’s face changed, and he charged forward without hesitation.
“Old Xu, stop!”
“Huo Xing, step aside.” As the blood-red light covered him, Xu Rigang’s entire deanor turned frenzied, his Battle Intent overflowing.
Huo Xing shouted urgently:
“Old Xu, have you lost your mind? You even used the Ferocious Gu!!!”
Upon hearing the na “Ferocious Gu,” a glint of surprise flickered in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
Yun Feifei had previously explained to him that the Ferocious Gu was a type of fused Gu parasite, known for its imnse strength.
It seed Xu Rigang had fused with a Ferocious Gu.
Judging from the terrifying power emanating from Xu Rigang now, this Ferocious Gu was indeed extraordinary.
However, this type of fused Gu appeared to also influence the host’s mind, as Xu Rigang’s current state seed entirely different from before—as though he had descended into madness.
“Huo Xing, if you don’t move, don’t bla for being rude!” Xu Rigang growled, his blood-red eyes blazing.
“Old Xu, calm down! This is just a spar—we don’t want any of you getting seriously hurt. If you must fight, co at first.”
Huo Xing’s firm tone left no room for compromise, and he did not retreat.
Seeing this, Xu Rigang’s expression darkened. The blood-red glow around him pulsated rapidly, teetering on the edge of uncontrollable rage—but then began to subside.
A mont later, the violent energy dissipated entirely, and Xu Rigang reasserted his cold composure.
He glanced at Zhou Yu and said indifferently:
“Fine. Out of respect for Huo Xing’s plea, I won’t continue the fight.”
“The kid does show so promise. He can participate in this mission.”
With these words, Xu Rigang acknowledged Zhou Yu’s capabilities.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu did not respond, but the golden True Qi that had previously gathered around his fist dispersed silently.
Huo Xing, noticing this, also sighed in relief.
He quickly said:
“We’ve wasted enough ti already—Hei Gu’s forces might have started moving. Let’s discuss our next plan imdiately…”
