Chapter 165 The Old Rascal
Zhou Botong looked at the golden light and flickering lightning on Gu Qianbei's body with curiosity and doubt in his eyes.
This technique looks like a Taoist method, but he has never seen it before.
Moreover, it seems to be even more perfect than my senior brother's innate skill.
"Is he a disciple from another Taoist sect? He actually created such a powerful technique."
Zhou Botong's mind raced, his heart itching like a cat scratching at him, wanting to test just how powerful this martial art was.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Lingsu said, "Brother Gu has never told me what kind of martial art this is, so I cannot answer your question, senior."
"Let Brother Gu answer the senior after he finishes his cultivation."
She had heard of the old rascal's reputation and knew he wasn't a bad person, so her guard was much lowered.
But she still stood beside Gu Qianbei, ready to retaliate immediately if Zhou Botong suddenly made a move.
She may not be skilled in martial arts, but if she is prepared, even a grandmaster would have to be careful of her poison.
Zhou Botong also noticed Cheng Lingsu's wariness and chuckled.
"This young lady is quite wary. She seems to have a lot of experience in the ways of the world."
Don't worry, the old rascal isn't a bad person.
I'll help you protect this kid.
As Zhou Botong spoke, he actually sat down with his back to Cheng Lingsu and Gu Qianbei, seemingly to protect Gu Qianbei.
Cheng Lingsu felt a little more at ease, but she did not slack off.
The three of them remained like this for less than fifteen minutes before Gu Qianbei completed his breakthrough.
The golden light on his body receded, and the lightning disappeared, leaving only a fleeting glimpse of golden light and lightning in his open eyes.
Mid-stage Grandmaster!
Breakthrough successful!
"Brother Gu, you've successfully broken through?"
Cheng Lingsu asked with concern.
"Yes, everything went smoothly."
Gu Qianbei nodded slightly, then looked at Zhou Botong.
Just as he broke through, he was able to perceive everything in the outside world.
If there is any real danger, he can exit his breakthrough stance to face the enemy, so he is not worried about being disturbed.
However, Zhou Botong's appearance here was something he hadn't expected.
"Interesting kid! You've broken through? Tell me, what kind of Taoist divine skill are you practicing?"
It's so dazzling!
Zhou Botong was extremely curious.
"This is the Golden Light Mantra of Taoism, one of the eight great divine mantras of Taoism."
"Golden Light Mantra? The Golden Light Mantra actually has a cultivation method? I've heard my senior brother mention the Golden Light Mantra, but even he hasn't been able to comprehend the cultivation method from it."
Where did you learn that?
Zhou Botong became even more curious.
"Occasionally obtained".
"Interesting, absolutely fascinating! Kid, would you like to have a match with me and let me see just how powerful this Golden Light Mantra really is?"
Zhou Botong, seeing an opportunity, immediately issued a challenge to Gu Qianbei.
Zhou Botong has always been a mischievous child, and he loves interesting and unfamiliar martial arts.
Now that they see Gu Qianbei adorned with golden light, how could they not want to witness it?
"Of course. I'd also like to experience the Quanzhen Sect's kung fu."
Gu Qianbei had just broken through to the next level and was eager to test how much he had improved. Zhou Botong was undoubtedly a very good opponent.
"Okay, okay, let's get started!"
Zhou Botong was overjoyed and immediately got into a fighting stance, using the Quanzhen Sect's Frost-Treading and Ice-Breaking Palm Technique!
Gu Qianbei didn't stand on ceremony and immediately activated the Golden Light Mantra, allowing golden light to adhere to his entire body.
Zhou Botong's eyes lit up, and he immediately launched an attack.
As the number one palm technique of the Quanzhen Sect, the power of the Frost-Treading Ice-Breaking Palm Technique should not be underestimated.
With a single strike, an inexhaustible force seemed to follow closely behind, a truly wondrous sight.
Faced with this palm strike, Gu Qianbei immediately condensed a golden hand, turning defense into offense and directly counterattacking.
The golden hand, a full meter tall, became extremely solid under the powerful internal force.
The palm strike came down as if a high wall had crashed down upon it.
Zhou Botong was not afraid and struck the palm of the golden hand with his palm.
boom!
Two powerful palm winds scattered outwards, Zhou Botong's hair was blown wildly by the palm winds, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Impressive technique! It actually managed to block one-tenth of the Old Urchin's power! Let me see where your limit is!"
Zhou Botong was overjoyed.
Now that he is a powerful expert in the late stage of Grandmaster, the fact that this Golden Light Spell can block even one-tenth of his power shows its strength.
But this is basically the limit of that golden hand.
The next moment, as Zhou Botong increased the force of his palm strike, the golden hand shattered into pieces.
boom!
The golden light shattered and scattered, but it did not disappear. Instead, it transformed into countless fine lines that completely enveloped Zhou Botong.
"Um?"
Zhou Botong was startled, but then he saw Gu Qianbei clench his right hand in the air.
"Golden Light Transforms into a Net!"
The shattered golden light instantly transformed into a giant golden spider web, binding Zhou Botong tightly.
"Impressive technique! Even after being shattered, it can still be manipulated, transforming into a large, controllable net!"
Zhou Botong showed no distress at being trapped; on the contrary, he revealed a look of joy.
This Golden Light Mantra truly opened his eyes.
"Be careful, senior!"
Gu Qianbei said softly, then clasped his hands together forcefully, and the binding force of the golden spider web immediately increased.
Zhou Botong looked surprised, realizing he couldn't continue playing around, or he might end up with more wounds.
At that moment, his inner strength surged, and his terrifying cultivation as a Grandmaster erupted, blasting apart all the tightening golden spider webs!
"Hehe! This is so much fun! Let's do it again!"
Zhou Botong danced with excitement.
"As expected of a grandmaster even stronger than Guo Jing, I'm still not strong enough to challenge such a true powerhouse."
Gu Qianbei thought to himself, but he was not disappointed.
He's cultivated for decades, while he's only cultivated for less than a year. It's normal that he can't compare.
At that moment, he once again channeled his inner energy.
But this time, instead of using the Golden Light Mantra, it was the Clear Sky after a Snowfall.
When dealing with Yang Guo, he was reluctant to go all out, but now that he's facing Zhou Botong, there's no point in holding back.
But this time, Gu Qianbei's method was different from before.
Instead of drawing his sword, he simultaneously formed sword fingers with both hands, creating a surge of sword energy as he wrote characters in the air.
Golden runes flowed simultaneously from his sword-like fingers.
The efficiency of its application suddenly doubled!
The Swordless Version After the Snowfall!
It is more efficient, but its power is by no means weaker.
The key to clearing the sky after a snowfall lies in condensing runes with sword energy. Once this is understood, the sword becomes a vehicle, and as long as a vehicle exists, the sword becomes dispensable.
In his drunken state, Gu Qianbei grasped this principle, so he was able to use the "After the Snowfall" technique with ease.
"What is this now?"
Zhou Botong was delighted to see that Gu Qianbei had used a new trick again, and obediently waited in place.
Before long, golden sword energy runes danced wildly around Gu Qianbei, like a golden cloud.
Then, Gu Qianbei pointed with both hands, and golden sword energy runes bombarded Zhou Botong!
"not good!"
