Chapter 249: Just a Domain, You Think You’re the Only One Who Can Use It?
Gu Fan’s words instantly caused Xun Bo’s expression to darken.
The surrounding onlooking disciples began to whisper among themselves, all surprised by how bold Gu Fan’s words were.
Moreover, his remarks directly offended everyone ranked sixth to tenth.
From the way he spoke, it seemed like anyone below the top five wasn’t even worth his notice.
“Hmph! Arrogant enough, to not even put any of us in his eyes!”
“Geniuses always think they're invincible before they suffer a setback.”
“I hope he challenges me soon, so I can teach him what it means to keep his feet on the ground.”
At that moment, Xun Bo let out a cold snort, his eyes full of sinister malice.
“Junior Brother, you sure talk big. Let your Senior Brother see just what makes you so conceited!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xun Bo took a step forward, and an invisible pressure immediately surged toward Gu Fan.
“Senior Brother, just get on with the fight. That kind of pressure has no effect on me.”
Gu Fan casually threw out a punch, shattering all the oppressive force. As the shockwave stirred the air, a residual afterimage was left behind where he had stood.
“So fast!”
Xun Bo was astonished and immediately raised his guard to the maximum.
To have clung to a spot in the top ten for over thirty years, Xun Bo had his own set of principles.
He never underestimated any opponent. Otherwise, losing the resources that came with being in the top ten would make life unbearable for him.
He might even be forced to leave the ranks of disciples and become a sect Elder.
Though Elders held more authority, the benefits were significantly worse—everything depended on contributions.
To him, that top ten seat was absolutely irreplaceable!
Gu Fan closed the distance and struck with a punch aimed directly at Xun Bo’s face. His momentum was overwhelming, clearly intending to crush him head-on.
“Very good! Trying to overpower me head-on! Gu Fan, you’re really arrogant!”
Xun Bo burst out laughing in anger. Half-step Celestial Heart Realm-level terrifying Mysterious Power erupted from him, and he met Gu Fan’s punch head-on.
Boom!
The terrifying burst of Mysterious Power sent Gu Fan flying.
Xun Bo laughed loudly, “So much for that!” and instantly chased after him.
At that moment, a phantom of a green lotus flashed by, and Gu Fan’s aura surged dramatically.
“Fell for it… You actually dared to approach me on your own!”
His aura exploded completely, and the violent energy filled the arena!
Xun Bo’s expression changed drastically. He tried to retreat, but his body was caught by the sudden surge of aura.
In that instant of hesitation, a foot slammed into his face, sending him flying like a sack.
Several of his teeth were knocked out midair.
Gu Fan didn’t rush to pursue. He stretched his limbs slightly.
“Senior Brother’s body isn’t very sturdy, huh? Just one kick and your teeth already flew out?”
Xun Bo stood up, his face grim as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“I was planning to go easy on you… But since you don’t appreciate that, don’t blame me for getting serious!”
With that, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Xun Bo slowly rose into the air, the corners of his lips curling into a wicked, confident smile.
“Domain! Open!”
In the next moment, a faint green domain rapidly unfolded, enveloping Gu Fan within.
“Gu Fan, oh Gu Fan! You don’t actually think just because your physical body is strong, you can defeat me, do you? Your little tricks are useless in the face of absolute power!”
“Now I’ll show you what it means to touch the power of the Celestial Heart Realm! I’m not some random nobody you can trample over!”
As he spoke, Xun Bo extended his hand from mid-air toward Gu Fan.
“Kneel before me!”
A smile uncontrollably formed on Xun Bo’s lips.
He had just recently begun to grasp the power of domain laws. Although it was only a partial understanding, it was enough to suppress any enemy!
He was confident that under the suppression of the domain, Gu Fan would have no strength to resist and would obediently kneel down.
Just the thought of Gu Fan kneeling and begging for mercy soon made a wave of vengeful joy surge in his heart.
At this moment, several of the top ten disciples in the spectator area changed expressions.
“Xun Bo actually broke through? He’s begun to grasp a domain!”
“Looks like no one should be underestimated. From the looks of it, it hasn’t been long since his breakthrough, but he already controls thirty percent of his domain’s power!”
“Gu Fan is probably dumbfounded now. Facing domain suppression, he won’t have any chance to resist.”
“What a pity, such a genius’s invincible Dao Heart is about to be shattered. The only question is whether he’ll collapse entirely or rise stronger afterward…”
The ordinary onlooking disciples were also extremely excited at this moment.
“Well done, Senior Brother Xun!”
“For the sake of my bet, suppress him hard! Go, Senior Brother Xun!”
“So powerful. Even from this distance, I can feel an overwhelming suffocation. Is this the legendary domain?”
“Yeah, no wonder battles between Celestial Heart Realm experts end so quickly. The clash of domains determines victory in an instant…”
“Gu Fan was truly overestimating himself this time. Laughable and pathetic.”
“I said it before, he’s just a clown trying to stir up trouble. Do you really think the top ten Senior Brothers are easy to mess with?”
For a moment, it seemed everyone already envisioned the scene of Gu Fan kneeling under suppression—some sighed, others sneered.
In the arena, Gu Fan’s face at that moment appeared pressured, as if still resisting.
His shoulders and legs trembled, with large beads of sweat constantly dripping down.
Xun Bo raised his brows slightly, speaking with some pride:
“Give it up. The power of a domain isn’t something you can resist. Kneel and admit your mistake, and I’ll grant you a dignified defeat!”
He pressed down again, intensifying the suppression.
Gu Fan staggered sharply, looking as if he could collapse at any moment.
He clenched his jaw, eyes full of defiance.
Xun Bo laughed heartily, his face brimming with pride and satisfaction.
Thinking back to Gu Fan’s earlier taunts, he now felt completely at ease.
“I knew the moment you arrived, Gu Fan—you’ve brushed against domain power. But it’s useless. The gap between us is a chasm. I’ve already begun to grasp a domain. What do you have to fight me with?”
“Surrender, or be beaten into surrender, Gu Fan!”
“Kneel before me!”
Xun Bo unleashed his full power, confident that under this level of suppression, Gu Fan would be forced to kneel even if he didn’t want to.
However, the scene he expected did not appear.
Gu Fan was still standing there, perfectly fine. In fact, his expression had turned relaxed.
Even the fierce expression from moments before had vanished, replaced by a mocking smile.
“Aiya, my bad. Looks like my acting was pretty convincing…”
“Acting… Impossible! How could you even speak under my domain suppression?!”
Gu Fan waved his hand, and terrifying wind blades surged forth in an instant.
Caught off guard, Xun Bo’s face was slashed open, blood streaming down.
“Speak? I can still attack you just fine.”
“You really thought that your pathetic domain could suppress me? In my eyes, it’s nothing but garbage!”
Xun Bo shook his head in disbelief and stepped back. His domain was indeed still active, and Gu Fan was still enveloped within it.
But he couldn’t understand why Gu Fan was still so at ease!
“Where did it go wrong… Gu Fan, you’re tricking me. You were faking everything just now!”
“I already told you, Senior Brother Xun—your strength means nothing to me. Just a mere domain.”
“You really think you’re the only one who can do this?”
Gu Fan lightly stomped his foot, and in the next moment, a terrifying domain, pitch-black like ink, burst forth!
Its immense power forcibly stretched Xun Bo’s domain to the limit and then completely devoured it.
Xun Bo, too, was immediately swallowed and engulfed within the black domain!
