Chapter 228: Chapter 0228: Just So-So

"Courting death!"

Seeing Chu Ge actually dared to strike, Gui Futu snorted coldly, stretched out his right hand, a swirl of dark energy churning within his palm, and violently collided with Chu Ge’s fist.

"Boom—"

Shockwaves churned, the floor trembled!

A shockwave visible to the naked eye spread out from where the two were clashing, the tables and chairs it passed were blown up into the air, while the Ancient Martial Artists quickly shielded their Old Masters.

Just as everyone was anxiously observing the situation in the arena, a muffled grunt suddenly came from the clash, followed by a figure that rocketed through the hull and flew out.

"This..."

Several people exchanged glances, heaving a sigh at the same time.

Mr. Chu was still too young, after all, Gui Futu was a genuine Innate Grandmaster, defeat was inevitable.

However, when the smoke cleared, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief and shock.

Because, standing in place, was none other than Chu Ge!

"This... How is this possible?" Duan Congxing took a few steps back, staring at Chu Ge, lost for words.

So the result was clear, the one blown away by a punch was actually Gui Futu!

"Chu Ge!"

Just then, a furious roar suddenly came from outside the cabin.

Everyone looked toward the shattered doorway and saw that far away on the sea’s surface, a figure stood on the water, with streams of dark energy enveloping him back and forth, reminiscent of a ghostly deity straight out of a tale of the fantastical!

Chu Ge furrowed his brows and then started walking towards Duan Congxing.

"You... what do you want to do..." Frightened, Duan Congxing stumbled backward, his aged bones definitely couldn’t withstand a punch.

But Chu Ge just cast a cold glance at him and walked past, leaving Duan Congxing slumped weakly in his chair, gasping for breath.

Only today did he truly perceive the terrifying, mountainous and ocean-like pressure emanating from this young man.

Chu Ge, on the other hand, walked straight to a corner shelf that displayed many Peking opera masks. He casually picked up a white one, placed it over his face, then exited the conference hall.

As it turned out, Chu Ge’s decision was correct, for the cruise ship’s deck was nearly jam-packed with people, all frantically filming Gui Futu standing on the sea with cameras or mobile phones.

A foreigner held a camera, continuously exclaiming, "Oh, my God, what am I seeing!"

"Could it be, in this world there really exist life forms beyond human beings?"

"Begone, evil spirit..."

"Chu Ge!" Gui Futu roared again, slowly raising his palms, it could be seen that dense dark energy was gathering in his hands.

"Stop howling like a ghost."

On the tumultuous sea surface, Chu Ge suddenly appeared in front of Duan Congxing with his hands clasped behind his back, standing on the water as well, and said: "In such a hurry to seek death?"

"Humph, back in the cabin of the ship, I couldn’t unleash my full strength. Today, you will witness the true power of an Innate Grandmaster!" Gui Futu sneered coldly, and amidst swirling dark energies, transformed into a wisp of black smoke charging towards Chu Ge.

Chu Ge, unafraid, threw a punch to meet the attack.

On the raging sea surface, figures clad in black and white clashed with the ferocity of a tempest, each collision stirring up dozens of thick water spouts, even the cruise ship trembled amidst the aftershocks of their confrontation.

"So this is the battle of Innate strength?" Nangong Man Sha’s eyes were misty as she watched the scene unfold atop the sea.

Chu Ge’s previous opponents had all been Postnatal Martial Artists, so he rarely needed to use his full strength. As such, although she was aware of the power of Innate individuals, she lacked a clear, direct understanding.

Now, the scene before her eyes, something that could only appear in movies, greatly shocked her. Nangong Man Sha, watching Chu Ge who had briefly paused, murmured: "If this is Innate, how powerful would Divine Communication be?"

It wasn’t just Nangong Man Sha; even the Old Masters from those families were staring dumbfounded at the scene on the sea.

Xiahou Longhu was the most peculiar of them all because his bodyguards were not Ancient Martial Artists, but retired soldiers from a Special Forces unit.

He had always thought that so-called Ancient Martial Artists were nothing but deceiving charlatans. He had encountered a person who claimed to be an Ancient Martial Artist, who indeed had some strength, but ultimately fell to the coordinated assault of several Special Forces members.

At this moment, Xiahou Longhu swallowed hard, murmuring: "So this is a real Ancient Martial Artist? This... this power simply shouldn’t exist in this world!"

Meanwhile, on the sea surface, when the two once again missed each other, the tips of Chu Ge’s right fingers had turned slightly black. Yet as True Qi surged within his body, the blackened fingertips returned to normal in an instant.

In contrast, Gui Futu’s hair was in disarray, and through the gaps in his mask, streaks of clotted blood could be seen seeping out.

"Cough cough cough—this, this is impossible!" Accompanied by a cough, Gui Futu finally steadied his disturbed True Qi and looked at Chu Ge in alarm: "How can you possibly withstand my deadly poison? Even those in the Innate Realm couldn’t resist this poison!"

In fact, Chu Ge was also puzzled about this.

Logically speaking, Gui Futu’s True Qi was imbued with deadly poison, and as long as the fight with him lasted, Chu Ge was bound to be poisoned. Thus, after realizing this, Chu Ge had been avoiding direct confrontation.

However, as the battle dragged on, some of the poisonous gases still infiltrated, but as soon as the poison encountered the True Qi in Chu Ge’s body, it evaporated instantly like snowflakes in a blazing flame!

For this, Chu Ge could only attribute it to the miraculous properties of the Cultivation Technique within the Jade Pendant.

"Is this all you’ve got?" Chu Ge looked at Gui Futu and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Humph, courting death!" Being looked down upon by a Postnatal upstart fueled Gui Futu’s rage, and with a shake of his body, he was shrouded in dark energy once again and charged at Chu Ge.

As he surged forward, the waves automatically split apart to either side, leaving a deep trench in his wake.

On Chu Ge’s side, he mobilized all his True Qi, channeling it into his right hand, and then unleashed his full force towards Gui Futu.

That’s right, even now, Chu Ge had yet to show his real strength in the fight!

"Boom—"

The shockwave created an enormous whirlpool around where their feet met the water, and Gui Futu screamed in agony as he was sent flying backward, leaving behind a vivid red line of blood in the air.

"How is this possible—"

"Nothing’s impossible." Before his words even faded, Chu Ge had already appeared by his side in a flash, his right hand shooting out like lightning to grasp Gui Futu’s neck, lifting him up in midair: "Innate, is but so!"
