A mountain-like pressure descended from the sky. This sudden pressure caught the man in red somewhat unprepared. Before he could react, Gu Xi’s figure had already appeared in front of him.

Gu Xi’s gaze was ice-cold. The longsword in his hand did not have the slightest bit of fancy as it directly stabbed out.

Puchi —

The ice-cold sword entered his body, and the tearing pain caused the man to grimace in pain, and fresh blood instantly gushed out like a spring.

“You have indeed exceeded my expectations, but this should be the end.” The man in red sneered as he spoke, his expression somewhat malevolent.

He suddenly stretched out a hand and ruthlessly grabbed Gu Xi’s shoulder. Rich Blood Qi started to be transmitted into Gu Xi’s body through his hand.

Sizzle sizzle —

Under the corrosion of a large amount of Blood Qi, green smoke was emitted from Gu Xi’s arm. Following that, a piercing pain came.

“You’re courting death!” Gu Xi’s expression was furious when he suddenly felt the pain. Under his control, the pressure on the red-clothed man’s body became increasingly heavier. It even caused the latter’s body to become a little hunched. Immediately, he stomped his foot, his entire body took a step back. His longsword was also pulled out from the red-clothed man’s body, bringing with it a pool of fresh blood.

“Blood Nether Palm!” the red-clothed man roared loudly. He used all his strength to raise his palm and ruthlessly smashed it toward Gu Xi, who was close in front of him.

Even though he was currently under heavy pressure, he clearly understood in his heart that as long as he killed Gu Xi in front of him, all the problems would be solved.

Under the heavy pressure of the Mountain-back Array, the result of his forceful attack was that the flesh on his entire arm began to fall off. One could even faintly see the bones within. The scene could be said to be extremely terrifying.

Gu Xi snorted coldly. Faced with the attack of the man in red who did not care about his own safety, he wisely did not choose to meet it head-on. He turned his body to the side, and the latter’s palm brushed past his body. However, the Blood Qi lingering in his palm had corroded a small part of Gu Xi’s clothes.

Easily dodging the man’s attack, Gu Xi’s expression turned cold. He raised his hand and slashed down, and the man’s entire arm was chopped off.

“Ahhhhh –” In the next moment, the man’s heart-wrenching voice rang out.

The man’s body was still hunched, but the arm that had stretched out earlier had already fallen to the ground, and blood was continuously spurting out from his arm.

His face was as white as paper, and his aura had become extremely chaotic. If he did not treat his injuries in time, he would die from excessive blood loss.

Now that the man in red was seriously injured, Gu Xi naturally would not let go of this opportunity to pursue his victory. He brandished his longsword once again, and this time, his target was the man’s neck.

If this sword landed solidly, the man would definitely die here today.

Just as Gu Xi thought that victory was within his grasp, the red-clothed man in front of him suddenly raised his head. His blood-red eyes were somewhat dazzling. At the same time, the body under his long robe was rapidly expanding, it was like a balloon.

Boom —

The next moment, a huge explosion sounded. The man’s body shattered.

In the next moment, his figure strangely appeared outside of the Mountain-back Array Formation.

“Go to Hell!” the man roared furiously. A large amount of Blood Qi erupted from within his body. Soon after, it agglomerated into a huge blood-colored python that was over a thousand feet in size.

Without any delay, the huge python twisted its body and whizzed out. The monstrous murderous aura and rotten stench caused Gu Xi to involuntarily frown.

“Is this all you’ve got?” Gu Xi smiled disdainfully as the giant python was getting closer and closer to him.

He slowly raised his hand and immediately made a downward movement.

At the same time, the Mountain-back Array under his feet started to operate rapidly. The complicated spirit patterns continuously emitted violent spirit energy. A large amount of spiritual energy gathered in the sky above the formation and tilted downwards once again.

As for the blood-colored giant python, its charging body was affected by the heavy pressure. Its body gradually became lower and lower until it was completely pressed to the ground. The giant python continuously struggled, but no matter what it did, it was unable to change the current situation. It was as if an invisible large hand was controlling it.

After struggling for a short while, the giant python could no longer withstand the mountain-like pressure above it. Finally, with a loud bang, it turned into a blood mist that filled the sky.

As the giant python dissipated, the red-clothed man not far away staggered. His face turned a few shades paler, and he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

“I’ve really underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to be so fast in setting up the formation.” The man forced himself to stand up straight, his eyes filled with hatred.

The two of them were at the same cultivation level. If Gu Xi had not quietly set up the formation just now, the result of the battle would be vastly different.

“It’s just that your reaction is too slow.” Gu Xi’s figure flashed and appeared in front of the man. Suddenly, his eyes moved and he turned his gaze to the distant horizon.

That was the direction the two had come from, and it was also the direction of Lanjiang City!

Clearly, the commotion caused by the fight between the two had attracted the attention of the cultivators in the city. If their identities were discovered, then the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would be disqualified from participating in the Grand Sect Competition, and the same would happen to the Blood Spirit Society!

“Looks like you won’t have the chance.” The red-robed man had also sensed the approaching aura in the distance. He grinned, and his words were full of ridicule.

If Gu Xi continued to attack at this moment, it would undoubtedly be at the risk of being expelled from the competition.

Gu Xi narrowed his eyes and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

If he was really expelled from the Grand Sect Competition because of this, it would naturally not be worth it. However, if he did not kill the outer realm demon in front of him, it would be even less worth it!

Without further thought, Gu Xi raised his sword and slashed down without another word.

This sword once again aimed at the neck of the red-robed man.

“You lunatic!” the red-robed man screamed. Clearly, he did not expect Gu Xi to be willing to risk the entire Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion being expelled from the Grand Sect Competition to kill him.

Without any time to hesitate, his body expanded once again. After a loud bang, he once again turned into a blood mist that filled the sky.

The difference this time was that the man’s figure completely disappeared. Even though Gu Xi used his spiritual sense to probe around, he was unable to capture even the slightest trace of the man’s aura. Clearly, he had already left this place.

“What a strange method.” Gu Xi’s brows were tightly knitted. His gaze turned to look at the aura that was getting closer and closer in the distance.

Under his spiritual sense, he could sense that there were several Saints who had arrived. Although he was not afraid of these people, he was not foolish enough to wait here.

With a wave of his hand, the spiritual formation under his feet stopped working and disappeared at an extremely fast speed. With a tap of his toes, Gu Xi flew in the opposite direction, and in just a few breaths’ time, there was no trace of him.
