In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 283 Mother-and-Child Dragon and Phoenix Rings

Gu Shaoan took in Shangguan Jin Hong's reaction and sneered inwardly.

If the Celestial Realm were so easy to reach, all the leaders in the Azure Dragon Society would be Celestial Realm warriors by now.

Do Zhu Wushi and the leader of the Azure Dragon Society still need to rack their brains and scheme?

Why is Shangguan Jin Hong still only at the level of Condensing Yuan Qi? Could it be that he doesn't like it?

Seeing that Shangguan Jin Hong was speechless for a moment, Gu Shaoan spoke up: "I appreciate the offer of Shangguan Gang Leader, but I have no great ambitions. My mind is focused on martial arts and the development of the Emei Sect. As for other matters, as long as trouble does not provoke me or Emei, I am not very interested."

Shangguan Jin Hong's thoughts also calmed down, and she raised an eyebrow and said, "Young Master Gu thinks this way because he doesn't know us well enough."

Gu Shaoan said calmly, "A force that can make the leader of the Money Gang willingly serve is naturally not an ordinary force. Its power and methods are self-evident. But what does this have to do with me?"

Gu Shaoan's tone remained light, but his words were filled with certainty.

The smile on Shangguan Jin Hong's face gradually faded after Gu Shao An said a few words.

"Does Young Master Gu mean there's no room for negotiation?"

Gu Shaoan said calmly, "Our Emei Sect values ​​upright conduct and integrity. However, the forces behind Chief Shangguan are secretive and secretive. Both times they tried to recruit him, they were evasive and couldn't even disclose the specific details. How can we talk about this?"

Shangguan Jin Hong gently twirled the golden cup in his hand, half-jokingly and half-seriously asking, "What if this gang leader insists that Young Master Gu agree?"

Gu Shaoan smiled slightly.

"Then let's see if Chief Shangguan has the ability."

Hearing Gu Shaoan's words, Shangguan Jin Hong's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Oh?"

"Perfect timing. I, the leader of this gang, also want to see just how strong the person who almost caused the Demon Master Pang Ban to perish must be."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Jin Hong threw the golden cup in her hand at Gu Shaoan.

With the help of special energy and Shangguan Jin Hong's technique, the golden cup instantly transformed into golden light and rushed straight towards Gu Shaoan's face.

Faced with the golden cup that was instantly in front of him, Gu Shaoan did not dodge. In the instant that the Yin and Yang energies in his body circulated, the golden cup that had just reached Gu Shaoan suddenly spun around him once and then rushed towards Shangguan Jin Hong.

It was more than twice as fast as when Shangguan Jin Hong threw it.

"Ok?"

Shangguan Jin Hong had considered how Gu Shaoan would respond to her move, but she hadn't expected Gu Shaoan's methods to be so bizarre.

Without him moving, the golden cup shot back toward him.

"Humph."

In response, Shangguan Jin Hong snorted coldly, his internal energy circulated, and a powerful burst of energy instantly erupted from his body, blocking the golden cup in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Jin Hong raised his right fist and suddenly swung it at Gu Shaoan.

As he threw his fist, a powerful aura, seemingly made of pure gold, enveloped his fist and the area around his entire arm, accompanied by a series of sounds like water ripples exploding in the air.

Facing Shangguan Jin Hong's heavy punch, which was wrapped in golden light and exploded with a strong wind, Gu Shaoan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he showed no intention of backing down.

His Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill suddenly reached its peak.

In the next instant, Gu Shaoan's waist and stance became one, his left shoulder slightly lowered, and his right fist slammed out like an angry dragon emerging from the sea.

This punch appears simple and direct, without any fancy moves, but a powerful and unparalleled yang energy suddenly erupts from its tip.

A golden vortex rapidly condensed and coiled around his entire right arm. It was not a dazzling light, but a heavy, solid dark gold color that seemed to contain the true meaning of indestructibility and immortality, faintly emitting a deep and powerful hum.

It was the powerful energy that came with the sixth level of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

"Om-"

In a flash, two fists enveloped in contrasting golden light collided violently without any fancy moves.

"boom--"

It was like a thunderclap on flat ground.

An unimaginable, terrifying force surged forth from Gu Shaoan's fist, its power overwhelming and domineering to the extreme.

The air was compressed by the collision of pure forces, producing a deafening explosion. A tangible, violent shockwave exploded wildly in a ring around the two of them.

The first thing to be affected was this incomparably luxurious golden pavilion.

A sickening metallic groan and the sound of brocade tearing rang out. The beams and pillars covered with thick gold paint twisted and deformed instantly, and the thin, shimmering brocade curtains were completely torn apart by the sudden, terrifying shockwave.

The heavy pavilion roof was completely blown off, tumbling in mid-air and reflecting fragmented golden light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

at the same time.

Shangguan Jin Hong felt an unimaginable, pure, and immense power, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, pouring down from the opponent's fist.

The sheer power and concentration of this force far exceeded all his previous estimates.

"Well"

The immense force prevented him from maintaining his balance, and he was violently pushed backward by this irresistible force.

"click"

The solid, flat ground beneath Shangguan Jin Hong's feet, also paved with thick gold bricks, was deeply dented by his stomping foot, and the surrounding gold bricks cracked inch by inch.

He managed to take only one step back before forcibly stopping himself, but even that one step was a clear disadvantage in a duel of this level.

Gu Shaoan, on the other hand, was like a towering mountain, rooted firmly to the ground, his body unmoving.

His fist, swirling with dark gold energy, remained in its swinging posture, its steadyness chilling, with only his robes fluttering in the escaping wind.

On the ruins of the pavilion, golden dust mingled with the glow of the setting sun.

Shangguan Jin Hong suppressed the churning blood in her chest and the tingling numbness in her arms, and for the first time, her eyes revealed genuine seriousness and astonishment.

"Such formidable strength! When did the Emei Sect acquire body-refining martial arts?"

Shangguan Jin Hong's imposing physique was not due to natural talent, but rather because he had also practiced body-refining martial arts, and in terms of sheer strength, he far surpassed ordinary martial artists.

However, in the contest of strength just now, Gu Shaoan was able to easily overpower him with that punch.

Based on this alone, Shangguan Jin Hong was certain that Gu Shaoan had also practiced body-refining martial arts.

And his skill level is even higher than his.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

However, before Shangguan Jin Hong could think further, Gu Shaoan's voice rang out.

The next instant, Shangguan Jin Hong discovered that Gu Shaoan, who had just been opposite him, had somehow appeared above him.

Like wisps of clouds hanging down from the heavens, or a gentle breeze that drifts over mountains and valleys.

A fair right hand emerged from the wide sleeve of her robe, fingers spread but not fully extended, instead moving in a natural downward press. The movement was as gentle and graceful as a butterfly fluttering among flowers.

ethereal and graceful.

As Gu Shaoan pressed down with his right palm, a special kind of energy instantly filled the area within three zhang around him as the internal energy of Gu Shaoan circulated.

In an instant, Shangguan Jin Hong felt his aura being locked.

Knowing there was no way to avoid it, Shangguan Jin Hong threw another punch at Gu Shaoan.

Shangguan Jin Hong's powerful, all-encompassing fist collided violently with Gu Shao An's seemingly gentle and ethereal palm.

"Boom——"

Instead of the expected deafening roar, there was a low, strange thud, like a heavy object falling into a bottomless swamp, or like tough leather being pierced in an instant.

next moment.

An indescribable force erupted instantly.

This force was not the kind of powerful, masculine impact that Gu Shaoan had used before, but rather carried an elusive and penetrating quality, as if an invisible stream had found a crack in the dam, or as if an all-pervasive wind had seeped into the micropores of an impenetrable wall.

It easily tore apart the fierce and sharp internal energy of Shangguan Jin Hong's fist, dissolving it like spring snow meeting boiling water. Then, the powerful yet gentle penetrating energy forcefully invaded Shangguan Jin Hong's body and meridians.

"Ugh."

Shangguan Jin Hong's expression changed drastically, and an indescribable feeling of suffocation and excruciating pain suddenly burst forth from the depths of his internal organs.

It felt as if an invisible giant hammer was striking him from within. His burly and powerful body shuddered violently, as if he had been slammed down by an invisible giant stake. The ground several feet in radius beneath his feet, which had been compacted by the shockwaves from the two men, could no longer support him.

"Boom."

With a sound of earth and rocks cracking, the ground where Shangguan Jin Hong stood suddenly collapsed, creating a deep pit.

The hard ground instantly turned into soft, loose soil, and the powerful downward pressure caused his entire body to sink uncontrollably, his knees and below instantly disappearing into the mud.

He forcefully suppressed a surge of bloodlust, a metallic taste rising in his throat, and even the golden light in his eyes dimmed slightly.

Faced with this scene, Gu Shaoan, whose body was floating backward, frowned slightly and muttered unconsciously, "How can he be so weak?"

Based on the few exchanges just now, Gu Shaoan felt that although Shangguan Jin Hong had the internal energy realm of Condensing Yuan into Gang, he was not much stronger than Gu Santong, let alone compared to Tianji Laoren.

In Gu Shaoan's expectations, Shangguan Jin Hong's strength should not be limited to this.

Although it was just a soft murmur from Gu Shaoan, at such a close distance, it was not much different from saying it to Shangguan Jin Hong.

The moment the words reached his ears, Shangguan Jin Hong felt a sudden surge of humiliation, prompting him to let out a roar that instantly drowned out the sound of the river wind and dust.

The next instant, his powerful and unparalleled dark golden aura erupted like a volcanic eruption.

"boom."

The soft soil around the pit was completely blown away by this terrifying force, and the smoke and dust exploded outwards like a giant ring wave.

Using this burst of power, Shangguan Jin Hong's body soared into the sky.

The moment the body is airborne.

"Qiang! Qiang!"

Two sharp, clear, and metallic ringing sounds, each one that stirred the soul, suddenly pierced the dust-shrouded space.

Suddenly, a pair of strangely shaped weapons appeared out of thin air in Shangguan Jin Hong's hands.

It is the weapon that Shangguan Jin Hong has listed on the Bai Xiaosheng Weapon Ranking.

Mother and child dragon and phoenix rings.

Of the two rings, the left ring is slightly smaller, its body resembling a coiled dragon, its blade cold as ice, with dragon patterns entwined around it.

The right ring is slightly larger, with a surface resembling a phoenix spreading its wings. The ring blade is as fiery as fire, and when swung, it seems to produce a clear and resonant sound like the cry of a phoenix.

Its entire body emanated a restrained and profound luster, neither gold nor iron. In the afterglow of the setting sun and amidst the dust, it spontaneously exuded a layer of sharp and incomparable, dazzling aura of vital energy, like condensed platinum.

As her body lifted into the air, Shangguan Jin Hong raised her left hand, and Zi Huan charged fiercely towards Gu Shaoan in the air like a shooting star.

"Buzz!"

As the golden ring pierced the air, a trembling buzzing sound reverberated throughout the sky.

Its speed far surpassed that of the golden cup thrown earlier.

Despite this, Gu Shaoan, who was in mid-air, remained unmoved. With a slight flick of his sleeve, a terrifying burst of energy instantly enveloped the flying golden ring.

However, the moment Gu Shaoan's energy touched the golden ring, he discovered that the ring contained a particularly condensed special energy that instantly tore apart the energy on Gu Shaoan's sleeve.

"Ok?"

Upon noticing this, Gu Shaoan raised an eyebrow, but his expression remained unchanged. The instant his Yin and Yang energies circulated within his body, Gu Shaoan's body strangely shifted two zhang to the left.

The feeling was as if Gu Shaoan was tied with a rope and was being forcibly and abruptly pulled away.

It was Gu Shaoan's sudden change in posture that caused the golden ring that flew out of the air to miss its target.

In the instant that Gu Shaoan and Jin Huan parted ways, Shangguan Jin Hong had already swooped down upon them with an air of dominance.

At the same time, the golden ring that Shangguan Jin Hong had just thrown away mysteriously changed direction in mid-air and returned to Shangguan Jin Hong's hand.

With the two rings in hand, Shangguan Jin Hong's aura suddenly transformed!

The heavy and sluggish feeling from when I was empty-handed vanished, replaced by an unparalleled majesty that was as heavy as a mountain, as swift as thunder, and in complete control.

His entire aura seemed to be completely activated by the mysterious and strange mother-and-child dragon and phoenix rings. The condensed energy not only adhered to himself, but also perfectly merged with the two rings in his hands, exuding a terrifying aura that combined cold sharpness and scorching explosiveness.

"drink!"

With a short, powerful shout, Shangguan Jin Hong spread his arms wide, his two rings intertwined. With a slight tremor of his left hand, the smaller dragon-shaped ring transformed once again into a golden, sharp light that was faster and more cunning than before. It no longer followed a straight path, but instead spun with an eerie quality, like a man-eating venomous dragon, tearing through the sky and instantly sealing off Gu Shaoan's left flank. The cutting energy it contained was bone-chilling.

At the same time, the phoenix-shaped mother ring blade in his right hand swept out at an extremely precise angle, carrying a scorching aura. The huge ring blade was like a burning round shield, or a reaping crescent moon, blocking Gu Shaoan's possible path to dodge or counterattack.

This is precisely the terrifying aspect of the Mother-Child Dragon and Phoenix Rings.

The offspring ring is like a dragon, waiting for its chance to strike; the mother ring is like a phoenix, patiently waiting for its prey to come to it.

The combination of the mother and child dragon and phoenix rings allows Shangguan Jin Hong's attacks to instantly switch from close combat to a combination of close and long-range fighting, and a mix of feints and real attacks, making it impossible to defend against.

Even for Gu Shaoan, this was the first time he had encountered such a peculiar weapon as the Dragon and Phoenix Rings and its unique offensive tactics.

It felt like being attacked from both sides by two masters at the same time.

He couldn't help but marvel at it in his heart.
