Dark Palace Sect, central square.

As a giant arena for the final battle, there are two figures calmly walking towards the stage under the gaze of countless eyes.

On the ring, the two of them stood in silence, more than ten feet apart.

On the surface, both parties seem to be strangers, but in fact they are old acquaintances and know the ins and outs of each other.

Buzz——!

At this time, as the surrounding spiritual energy surged, a formation of light curtain suddenly formed, covering the entire battle stage.

In this way, no matter how fierce the battle on stage is, it will not affect the onlookers.

"I never thought I could fight you here."

Gu Yunle stared at Yan Hongyi indifferently, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Yan..."

"Oh no, I should call you Wu Hong now."

After being reminded by Lin Hao before, he already knew the origin of Yan Hongyi's change of identity.

Yan Hongyi had a cold expression on his face. He was isolated by the formation's light screen and didn't care at all about Gu Yunle's words.

"Since you and Lin Hao are brothers, I can only count you as unlucky."

Immediately, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I've been worried recently that I can't find him to settle the score, so I'll use you to do the surgery first."

Over the past year, Yan Hongyi has obtained a place to be baptized in the spiritual spring by relying on Wu Lu, the so-called 'biological father', and his cultivation has increased day by day.

Now that he has broken through to the second level of the Holy Realm, he is undoubtedly full of confidence.

But no one could have imagined that Lin Hao was currently undergoing a trial in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, and his martial arts skills had already surpassed him by a few steps.

"If you want to take revenge on my boss, you have no hope in this life."

Gu Yunle stretched out a finger, shook it, and said disdainfully: "Because you are always defeated by his subordinates, and you are defeated in every battle!"

After hearing the next sentence, Yan Hongyi's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.

The words "defeated" are obviously a stimulus to his arrogant self-esteem!

Immediately, he took a deep breath and forced down the furious resentment in his heart.

"Guess, if I kill you today, how will that bastard Lin Hao react?"

Yan Hong laughed ferociously, with a hint of cruelty on his face, and an undisguised murderous aura in his cold voice.

This time, Gu Yunle did not argue with the other party.

His eyes were full of emotion, and he was no longer as cynical as usual.

The eyes staring at Yan Hongyi were also filled with a hint of murderous intent.

Obviously, he had thoughts of killing Yan Hongyi.

If this guy doesn't die, he will definitely haunt the boss in the future.

Today's palace competition gave him an excellent opportunity!

"Elder Wu, may I please start?"

At this time, a middle-aged referee came out.

He bent down to salute, and asked Wu Lu who was sitting on the high platform in awe for instructions.

"Well, let's get started. Remember to be fair and just."

Wu Lu looked indifferent, her gaze fell on Yan Hongyi, as if she had a hint of expectation.

He originally didn't have much recognition for this illegitimate child from the outside world.

Unexpectedly, since he entered the palace sect, his martial arts talent has been surprisingly outstanding, which made Wu Lu stand in admiration.

Therefore, this time, I just brought him to the inner hall to participate in the competition and practice.

On the high platform, in addition to Wu Lu, there was also a burly man with cheeks and a resolute temperament sitting next to him.

This person is the master of the inner palace, named Yang Gang.

Gu Yunle was able to grow so fast during this period because he was promoted and given a lot of training resources.

In this palace competition, Yang Gang was very satisfied and pleased with Gu Yunle's performance.

Unfortunately, this time, I met an opponent I shouldn't have met.

From the corner of his eye, he quietly glanced at Wu Lu, who was in the main seat, the position that should have belonged to him presiding over the palace competition.

All along, the direct disciples of the elders of the palace sect would not participate in competitions in the inner palace.

However, this year, the palace guard elder ‘Wu Lu’ came to compete with his illegitimate son on a whim.

When I think about it in Yang Gang, although it's nothing, it always feels a little abnormal.

"The final battle begins. Everyone must know the rules. The winner this time will be the crown prince!"

At this time, as the middle-aged referee's voice sounded, everyone's eyes were focused on the ring.

I saw that the two people on the stage had already taken out their weapons.

Yan Hongyi holds a long black sword in his hand, which is of standard size and exudes a rich black aura.

Gu Yunle's weapon is a black epee.

Regardless of size or weight, it is more substantial than Yan Hongyi's long sword.

boom--!

As soon as the weapon was released, powerful spiritual power fluctuations swept through the two people's bodies.

The next moment, the two figures of Gu Yunle and Yan Hongyi rushed out at the same time and collided fiercely.

"Bang bang bang!!"

All of a sudden, a series of harsh clashing sounds of gold and iron were heard, followed by intensive madness.

The entire arena seemed to be suddenly blown by gusts of wind and waves, causing the surrounding air to boil.

Two thick waves of black mist filled the air, and bursts of gas explosions could be heard.

The astonishing momentum made everyone on the side feel a little frightened!

In just a few breaths of time, the two of them had already fought for more than a hundred rounds.

"The combat power of the Star Realm of the second level of the Saint Realm is so terrifying!"

"They are at the same realm, but they are both able to leapfrog and challenge. This kind of battle situation is not inferior to those warriors of the third level of the Holy Domain!"

The people around were dumbfounded and started talking with surprised expressions.

"clang!"

There was another confrontation, and the two figures retreated violently under the strong wind.

"You brat, you are quite capable!"

Seeing that he had no choice but to win over Gu Yunle, Yan Hongyi's eyes were cold and stern.

"This move was originally intended to deal with that bastard Lin Hao, but today I will use you as a target!"

As the voice fell, the long sword in his hand suddenly erupted with extremely powerful sword energy.

The terrifying spiritual power fluctuations suddenly swept away like a hurricane.

Immediately afterwards, a black demonic dragon burst out from the tip of the sword, as if tearing the sky apart.

"The sword dragon splits the sky!"

"Sacred Fourth Grade Martial Arts"

Upon seeing this, the disciples in the inner hall who were watching suddenly burst out in surprise.

"Tsk, tsk, the one with the surname Wu is indeed extraordinary."

"We have been in the inner palace for many years, but we are still not qualified to practice holy martial arts above the third level."

"Isn't that right? This guy named Wu Hong has only been here for more than a year and he has already had the opportunity to practice."

"Don't be upset, it's not like you don't know his identity."

Among them, there are also whispers.

"Roar--!"

Then, with a fierce roar, Yan Hongyi stabbed with his sword.

The demonic dragon, wrapped in sword light, roared and rushed towards Gu Yunle with a terrifying momentum!

Facing such an offensive, Gu Yunle's face remained calm.

Just when everyone wanted to see how he would resist next, a strange scene happened.

But when the black mist surged around Gu Yunle's body, a black energy vortex suddenly appeared in front of him.

It directly swallowed up the demonic dragon sword shadow that rushed over.
