Chapter 734: Chapter 4 Sparring_3

Gu Shen said earnestly, "I hope you step forward gallantly, slap the Ghost Veil’s head off, and then I’ll cheer for you from behind."

"..."

It took Chu Ling a long time to come up with a sarcastic remark, "The mighty Netherworld King is living off a woman?"

"Flattering, quite flattering."

Gu Shen was not at all ashamed and remarked, "I like that phrase."

The next moment,

a shout rang out in the distance.

"Brother Gu!"

Because his spiritual power was tightly bound, Gu Shen had not sensed the presence of the speaker beforehand.

At that moment, he looked in the direction of the sound.

A young man carrying a large iron sword was running towards him.

"Shen Li, what brings you here?" Gu Shen smiled.

He hadn’t expected Little Iron Man to come looking for him.

"Brother Gu... I heard you had finally returned to Changye, so I came straight away,"

Shen Li’s forehead was covered with sweat.

He wiped the sweat and looked puzzledly at the person standing next to Gu Shen, "Eh... Where is Miss Chu?"

"She... has gone into seclusion to cultivate; she won’t be coming out for a while,"

Gu Shen, looking at the huge broadsword carried by Shen Li, vaguely guessed the latter’s purpose.

Little Iron Man excitedly unloaded the large sword, swung it around, and said, "This broadsword is a gift from Mr. Shan, named ’Great Que’. Master said that Great Que is an A-grade Spirit Defense Sealing Item!"

This sword emitted bursts of iron essence; it was no ordinary item.

It was an iron artifact with the properties of "spiritual power" infused, likely forged from the essence of the Iron Throne.

"Great Que" and "Iron Eater" were really compatible.

"So... you came to find me because?"

Gu Shen pretended to be puzzled and asked slowly.

"Brother Gu..."

Shen Li took a deep breath; his hands gripped the large sword tightly as he stood in place, spinning two heavy sword flourishes.

"Huff— Huff!"

Although Little Iron Man was not large, he was naturally strong.

The slight youth swinging the large sword seemed strained, but he was actually as natural as a fish in water.

With innate brute strength and the compatibility of the "Iron Eater" attribute, the sword "Great Que" produced sharp breaking winds.

Shortly after,

Shen Li planted "Great Que" deeply into the ground.

Youthfully, he declared, "I came to fight you!"

Shen Li coming over meant only one thing: a fight.

He was a pure martial fanatic.

Previously, Shen Li would fight anyone; he was content as long as there was a brawl, but after a year of cultivation with Gu Shen at the Spring Rain Temple, his eye for picking opponents had grown keener, and brawling with newcomers no longer satisfied him when his hands itched.

Most importantly, he never knew how to hold back.

He knew only how to strike, not how to retract.

Inside the prison, there were no other Transcendents who were willing to "spar" with Shen Li.

For Shen Li, the ultimate goal was naturally to defeat Gu Shen!

Over the year, he had nearly a hundred duels with Gu Shen, losing every single one.

From initially being unconvinced,

to later respectfully addressing him as "Brother Gu," this change in attitude was truly beaten into him, one punch at a time by Gu Shen!

"Brother Gu... I am no longer the Shen Li of yesterday!"

Little Iron Man solemnly said, "I was waiting for you to return to Changye for a fight."

"..."

Under normal circumstances, Gu Shen would not mind spending a minute letting Shen Li have a good sleep, but the current situation was different.

He rubbed his forehead with a bit of a headache.

A strand of golden thread vaguely appeared...

Right now, he probably couldn’t even summon Chi Huo.

"Brother Gu, although I know I will still lose this time..." Shen Li said seriously, "but I want to know... how big the gap between us really is, please grant me this fight!"

Having said that,

He drew his sword!

The sound of the cutting wind had just started.

"Wait..."

Gu Shen’s voice interrupted Shen Li’s movement.

Little Iron Man looked a bit puzzled but out of respect for Gu Shen, he did not immediately attack and seriously waited for what was to come.

This scene couldn’t help but amaze onlookers; Shen Li had astonishing strength.

This "Great Que," he just lifted with one hand holding the hilt, pointing it straight at Gu Shen.

"Did Mr. Shan only give you this sword?" Gu Shen smiled and asked, "There should be more, right?"

"There’s also a protective amulet, spirit defense sealing items..."

Shen Li mumbled, then suddenly realized, pulled off the necklace around his neck, and said earnestly, "Brother Gu, I understand what you mean. This fight will focus solely on offense; I’ll remove all these sealing items!"

Gu Shen was silent for a second, then asked, "Nothing else?"

"That’s all..."

Shen Li furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled.

"Perhaps there is also a dilapidated residence within Snow Forbidden City," Gu Shen reminded with a smile.

"Ah..."

Shen Li scratched his head with one hand, "Indeed, there’s that. Mr. Shan gave me a key, said I could check it out when I’m free... but that key is of no use to me."

"Let’s have a match,"

Gu Shen said with a smile, "If I win, give me that key."

"Deal! I’ll give it to you!"

Shen Li laughed loudly and threw the key, "I thought it was something serious. This thing... it’s of no use to me!"

Gu Shen caught the key.

The next moment,

Shen Li’s figure appeared in front of him, Little Iron Man drawing his sword with astonishing speed.

A heavy slash!

It seemed to split the very void in two!

With a loud "boom," the sound wave hit!

Gu Shen stepped back calmly by half a step, slightly frowning as he watched the fierce sword energy whizzing past his chest... Little Iron Man’s lethal power had indeed improved further.
