Chapter 1237: Gongsun Tiehu’s Might

The three attacks collided, creating a blinding radiance that caused the world around them to shake. Those near and far could feel the terrifying energy undulations. This level of strength could be considered impressive in the second layer.
"What a terrifying power. Can Shaoyun survive this?" asked Wu Zhijun with a worried expression.
"Shaoyun will win," said Liang Zhuangmin as he clenched his fists tightly.
He hated himself for being incapable of helping Xiang Shaoyun. He vowed to cultivate even harder. He no longer wanted to keep being an onlooker. He wanted to fight alongside his brother and be of help.
"Don't worry. Boss has never lost before," said Xia Liuhui. He knew Xiang Shaoyun the best and had been able to remain calm.
"Each of them is incredibly strong," exclaimed Min Rourou.
After several collisions in the air, the lightning sabers obtained the upper hand. The boundless lightning power demonstrated a might worthy of being the most destructive element as numerous lightning explosions suppressed the exploding star and shattered the massive python.
Two figures could be seen flying away while spewing blood from their mouths. Their clothes were reduced to stripes, and saber wounds could be seen all over their limbs. Many cuts were on their armor. If their armors were even a tier lower, they would have been sliced into pieces.
Xiang Shaoyun had held back in the exchange. The two wouldn't have survived otherwise. He had obtained the complete upper hand in the exchange, completely defeating two genius disciples equipped with saint weapons. With his incredible combat strength, when he borrowed the power of lightning, who in the same realm could be his match?
Of the nine powers he cultivated, his lightning power was the strongest. This was because his lightning power covered his weakness of only being able to use a single star at a time. Additionally, he had also comprehended the profundity of lightning and saber intent. These two points allowed him to display the strength of a peak Soul Foundation Realm cultivator. Few people could contend against him.
After Zhou Haoyu and Su Youzi were defeated, Gongsun Tiehu vanished.
Devil Concubine raised her brow as she quickly searched her surroundings. When he found that Gongsun Tiehu had appeared at a completely unexpected spot, she cried out, "Overlord, watch out! Behind you!"
Unknowingly, Gongsun Tiehu had appeared behind Xiang Shaoyun with his mount. He combined his strength with the mount and displayed excellent teamwork as they erupted with a strength several times higher than their supposed combined strength. The exponential growth was due to the fact that the two used the same type of energy.
With a might capable of annihilating armies, his staff swung at Xiang Shaoyun's waist. The staff enlarged and shone with a blinding gold radiance. It felt as if the sky itself was going to crack from the attack's sheer might. A tiger's roar resounded in the air, and a majestic might spread out, giving off a sensation of fear that could cause one to give up before the fight even began.
Gongsun Tiehu was the descendant of a True Martial Academy elder. The sect had kept him hidden for many years, and only recently did he reveal himself. Although he wasn't a match for Dugu Qiubai and Devil Concubine, he was good enough to compete against their number three genius, Xiang Chenxi.
Gongsun Tiehu alone erupted with a strength matching the joint attack of Zhou Haoyu and Su Youzi. With his strength and the fact he was mounting a sneak attack, he was confident Xiang Shaoyun would suffer.
Xiang Shaoyun had gone through countless battles, granting him a rich combat experience. He had not dropped his vigilance just because he had defeated Zhou Haoyu and Su Youzi. Because of that, he was able to immediately detect Gongsun Tiehu's sneak attack. After all, he was someone with a saint soul, an existence surpassing all his current opponents. With his sharp senses, he could immediately react to the sneak attack.
Phantom Shift!
As he grew in strength, the speed of his Phantom Shift had also increased rapidly. With a flash, he evaded the attack.
Gongsun Tiehu had not expected Xiang Shaoyun to be able to react so quickly. However, he was still worthy of being someone comparable to Xiang Chenxi. He instantly reacted and launched a follow-up attack. He did not know where Xiang Shaoyun had moved to, but he could unleash a powerful short-range attack to prevent Xiang Shaoyun from hitting him with a counterattack.
Earthbreaker Tiger!
His tiger leaped and slammed its paws down, causing the ground to collapse. Numerous shockwaves rippled out and spread destruction in all directions. Anyone trying to approach would fall victim to the cataclysmic attack.
Next, Gongsun Tiehu and his tiger soared into the sky and moved away, further preventing Xiang Shaoyun from attacking them. When he reached the sky, he discovered that Xiang Shaoyun had been forced to retreat further due to the shockwaves. He saw another opportunity to attack, and he grabbed it as he launched another attack at Xiang Shaoyun.
"Let me show you who's the one that is truly worthy of Devil Concubine," Gongsun Tiehu roared as his battle intent soared. His combat strength increased sharply as his mount pounced on Xiang Shaoyun again.
Atop the tiger, Gongsun Tiehu brought his staff down with a domineering might, causing even the sky itself to crack into two. The Fierce Tiger Battle Aura emanated from Gongsun Tiehu's body.
As the battle aura merged with his tiger, their combined combat strength tripled. This was a secret technique that no ordinary person had access to, and it was the reason for Gongsun Tiehu's confidence. Without it, he wouldn't be confident enough to declare that he would defeat Dugu Qiubai.
Xiang Shaoyun thought, The True Martial Academy prodigies are truly impressive.
Xiang Shaoyun had always been a confident individual. He was someone who had faced the likes of Dugu Qiubai, Devil Concubine, Jiu Tian, Baili Yixiao, Xiang Chenxi, and many others. Each of his opponents possessed incredible combat strength, and he had thought that they were already the best this generation had to offer.
Thus, Xiang Shaoyun couldn't help but gasp with amazement at the True Martial Academy's strength when encountering someone like Gongsun Tiehu. Fortunately, his combat strength had improved recently. Gongsun Tiehu might be strong, but he still couldn't strike fear into Xiang Shaoyun's heart.
Golden Fury!
Xiang Shaoyun instantly switched his energy to the flame and gold energies. The two energies twirled around each other and intensely collided to create an incredibly destructive attack. When the attack struck the staff, Xiang Shaoyun let the energies loose and flickered to Gongsun Tiehu's side.
Flux Finger Sword Technique!
Xiang Shaoyun used the purest gold energy to slash at Gongsun Tiehu, catching him by complete surprise. Gongsun Tiehu had not expected Xiang Shaoyun to turn his retreat into an offense.
