Chapter 103 1 Defeat the North
While Shangguan Jiannan was still in shock, Guo Polu had quietly moved.
He swung the spear in his hand suddenly, and a strong gust of wind burst out instantly, crossing the air like a wild horse and pointing directly to the place where the mountain armor was.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, deafening. The invisible strong wind collided violently with the armor in an instant, and the entire space seemed to be torn apart by this force.
Shangguan Jiannan couldn't help but gasp when he saw this, his eyes filled with horror.
"How can this strength be so horrifying!" Shangguan Jiannan was extremely shocked. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Guo Polu in the distance changed his movements again. He raised his left hand slightly and grabbed the air. Flames shot up into the sky, accompanied by crisp explosions. A transparent crystal core drew a beautiful arc in the air.
"The inner elixir of a demon beast!" Shangguan Jiannan's eyes flashed with fear when he saw this, and he muttered to himself in disbelief.
He never expected that Guo Polu could easily kill a monster close to the fourth level and take out its inner elixir with just a wave of his hand.
This scene was undoubtedly a huge shock to Shangguan Jiannan.
He knew very well the strength of the Chuanshan Iron Armor, and even if he tried his best, he might not be able to win easily.
However, in front of Guo Polu, this powerful monster couldn't resist even a single blow and was reduced to ashes.
Guo Polu held the inner elixir of the demon beast in his hand and smiled calmly: "Level three is almost level four. Although it is not the best, it is better than nothing."
Although his words were light, they revealed an indescribable confidence and composure.
Shangguan Jiannan looked at Guo Polu's figure with a dark face. Although he felt unwilling in his heart, he could only watch from afar.
He knew that the gap between himself and Guo Polu could not be made up overnight.
Guo Polu just waved his hand lightly, and the monster's inner core seemed to merge into the void, disappearing without a trace.
Shangguan Jiannan could only watch from afar, and at this moment he even breathed carefully, for fear of attracting attention.
After all, his monster has fallen into Guo Polu's hands, and strength is always the key to everything.
At this moment, Guo Polu's gaze suddenly turned to Shangguan Jiannan. His eyes were as cold as ice and as sharp as a poisonous snake locking onto its prey. Shangguan Jiannan felt uncomfortable all over, as if he was bound by invisible shackles.
"Hmph!" A light snort, though far away yet close, was clearly heard by Shangguan Jiannan.
Afterwards, Guo Polu slowly turned around and finally took his eyes off Shangguan Jiannan.
Shangguan Jiannan breathed a sigh of relief, but that relief was only momentary, because he knew very well that the gap between him and Guo Polu was like a chasm that was difficult to cross.
In Guo Polu's eyes, Shangguan Jiannan was just an insignificant existence, not worthy of his attention, let alone his efforts.
So, Guo Polu glanced around casually, and then his figure flashed, turned into a residual shadow, and left quickly.
However, the crisis has not been resolved.
Just in the direction where Guo Polu disappeared, a transparent spiritual energy cut through the void like lightning and headed straight for Shangguan Jiannan.
Shangguan Jiannan's heart trembled and he shouted "Not good", at the same time he drew out his sword, held it across his chest, and poured all his spiritual energy into it to resist the impending attack.
The heat wave brought by the spiritual energy made Shangguan Jiannan feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
He clenched his teeth, his eyes sharp, and prepared to meet this sudden challenge.
However, the speed of the attack was beyond imagination, and it approached in almost the blink of an eye.
"Hah!" Shangguan Jiannan shouted loudly, gathering all his strength at the tip of the sword, trying to block the fatal blow.
But in the end, he was still out of strength. He retreated violently, was swept away by the powerful air wave, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Dust was flying all around and the air was surging, as if even the heaven and earth had changed color.
In front of the sharp steel sword, an irresistible force suddenly struck, and Shangguan Jiannan's body flew backwards like a fallen leaf swept by a strong wind, and his feet plowed two deep marks on the ground, which were several inches deep.
This retreat covered a distance of dozens of feet, and he only stopped when his back hit a broken wall.
The wall behind him was covered with rubble amid a series of roars.
"Huff, huff, huff..." Shangguan Jiannan leaned against the dangerous wall, his breathing heavy and rapid, his chest heaving violently. It was obvious that the casual blow just now, although from the hands of Guo Polu, made him feel an unprecedented life-and-death crisis.
Suddenly, the fine steel sword that was tightly held in his hand suddenly exploded with a loud bang, breaking into several pieces, scattering all over the ground, making a crisp collision sound.
Witnessing this scene, Shangguan Jiannan could only smile bitterly, feeling mixed emotions.
He had to use all his strength to defend against Guo Polu's careless attack, even sacrificing his beloved weapon. This is the cruel reality of the disparity in strength.
The wall he was leaning against was covered with cracks like a spider web due to Shangguan Jiannan's impact, and the ground beneath him was also sunken a little, reflecting his dejection and powerlessness at the moment.
Shangguan Jiannan's face was pale, his head was leaning against the wall, his eyes closed in deep thought, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Although the power of that attack was incredible, thanks to the distance and the cushioning of the sword, the actual force that landed on the body was still acceptable.
He slid down slowly and sat weakly on the ground. He lightly threw the half of the sword handle in his hand, and there was a crisp and lonely "clang" sound.
The blow from Guo Polu was deeply engraved in his heart and became an indelible memory.
He closed his eyes and tried to calm his nerves which were strained by the fierce battle.
As far as the eye can see, the remains of the Iron Armor in the distance come into view. It is charred black, as if it was devoured by flames. Only a pile of charred debris remains, with green smoke slowly rising.
After a long time, Shangguan Jiannan finally pulled himself together, stood up, shook off the dust and stone chips on his body, and walked forward with big strides and determination.
Shangguan Jiannan threw down the fine steel scabbard and looked around with a vigilant look.
The ruined palace was full of dangers, and he took precautions based on past experience.
I silently prayed in my heart: "I hope I won't meet Master Guo Polu again. His strength is terrifying and makes me feel scared."
