Volume 1: Rebirth of the Owl Demon Chapter 23 Can You Return Your Heart?
"Li Weili has fallen."
"Li Sanqiong has fallen."
"Qian Wanquan has fallen."
…
While the other elders were still discussing fiercely about the battle, the old man Tianzhi had already begun to look through the list of the dead.
This list belongs to Gu Qingyang alone. During the trial, all enemies killed by Gu Qingyang are on this list.
The reason why Old Man Tianshi wanted to read through this list of losers was because he wanted to see how far Gu Qingyang could do it.
Before that, he was also immersed in the surprise that Gu Qingyang brought to him.
To be honest, he never thought that Gu Qingyang could go so far.
He originally felt that Gu Qingyang participated in this trial just to show off his strength.
But now, the facts are enough to explain everything.
He, the old man from Heavenly Corpse, was wrong, and now, he was not prepared to continue reading.
He is different from other elders.
Although the other elders were looking forward to the result, they obviously enjoyed watching the battle process more.
As for him, he voluntarily gave up on the process, and what he now focuses on is only the result.
He didn't care what methods Gu Qingyang or Ye Lu used.
He just wanted to see who of these two people, a new person and an old person, would win.
The rise of Gu Qingyang is not sudden, but the speed of its rise is too fast.
So in the dark, he had already begun to think about whether Gu Qingyang was hiding any bigger secrets.
He knew Ye Lu's strength. Originally, he didn't think Ye Lu would lose, but now, he couldn't be sure.
What shocked him deeply was what Gu Qingyang once said:
"Red pink skull, white bones and flesh."
Throughout the ages, both mortals and bone cultivators have said that Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes.
Let me ask you, look at ancient and modern times, how many outstanding bone cultivators can pass the test of beauty?
Although the female disciple who was beheaded by Gu Qingyang could not be said to be beautiful and fragrant.
However, his appearance is not bad at all.
Moreover, at that time, the female disciple had promised to make a bone contract with Gu Qingyang.
A bone contract is a kind of contract unique to bone cultivators. This kind of contract is certified by the sky, and once it is made, it cannot be changed.
This is related to the lifelong practice of bone cultivating. No one would be willing to make such a contract unless they had no choice.
After all, once a contract is made, the winner, as the principal, is equivalent to the master, while the loser will be the slave of the master.
At that time, when he saw this scene, he was really looking forward to it.
At that time, he wanted to see how Gu Qingyang would choose.
In fact, if Gu Qingyang accepted it, he would feel that Gu Qingyang would not be a threat and there would be hope of being won over.
After all, although the Ancient Hanging Coffin Sect is not big, it can still find a few female disciples with good looks and the right age.
But Gu Qingyang just said something like that. Just this sentence made the old man Tianshi stunned for a moment, and then he felt deeply powerless.
Because of this, in the end, Old Man Tianshi simply followed Gu Qingyang's lead.
He had had enough of the feeling of being constantly surprised, and he didn't want to become numb because of it.
Therefore, he set a very high goal for Gu Qingyang.
It’s not that this goal is hopeless, it’s just that it’s too difficult to achieve it.
And this, in the opinion of the old man Tianshi, is just the right thing to do.
Facts seem to prove that his choice was correct.
To this day, in this battle, although Gu Qingyang is at a disadvantage, there are many dangers.
However, Gu Qingyang has never been defeated. Old Man Tianshi sees all this clearly, and he has already determined one thing.
That is, before he was truly defeated, all the signs Gu Qingyang showed might be completely false.
Although this idea is ridiculous enough, Old Man Tianshi feels that this is the right way to look at Gu Qingyang.
"Get going!"
Night has fallen, Gu Qingyang and Ye Lu have been fighting fiercely for a long time, and now they are fighting until late at night.
Compared with when the battle just started, Gu Qingyang is already in a miserable state.
Although Ye Lu's appearance is better than Gu Qingyang's.
But in fact, he wasn't much better.
However, Ye Lu didn't seem to want to drag it on any longer.
Therefore, he had been gathering momentum for the war for a long time.
After a long time, he let out an earth-shaking roar.
And at the same time, he forcibly turned the spear in his hand into a thundering silver dragon.
In an instant, brilliance flashed, and black clouds appeared on the sky of the secret world.
At the same moment, Gu Qingyang also felt an endless sense of oppression.
From that moment on, Gu Qingyang knew that the end of this war might be coming.
And when he saw the opponent's moves, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Because he didn't expect that what Ye Lu showed would actually be Lei Fa.
Moreover, isn't this thunder method the same as the tribulation thunder condensed by the way of heaven when he was overcoming the tribulation some time ago?
This is clearly the calamity thunder of heaven.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyang already understood that the other party had some enlightenment on that day, so he created this magical power.
Moreover, no matter whether this was intentional by Heaven, or Ye Lu himself had been blessed with some enlightenment.
He would have to deal with the next move with all his strength.
Because if he makes the slightest mistake, he may die.
This was not his own random thinking, but something he saw from the other party's magical power. He knew clearly that the power of God was contained in it.
"call--"
As time went by, the silver thunder and lightning dragon became increasingly clear. Gu Qingyang slowly exhaled a breath.
At the next moment, Gu Qingyang suddenly stepped back.
Then, endless demonic intent surged up in his heart. Gu Qingyang was preparing and gathering momentum.
He has been fighting for a long time, and the bones of his defeated generals have no strength. So now, he can only rely on himself.
Apart from that, he had no trump card. And he also knew that the things made from the lightning strike wood alone could not block this attack.
Therefore, what he prepared was his body.
This is the demon body, the result of his practice.
He has already passed through the real catastrophe.
He doesn't think that he will definitely die in the other party's lightning method that cannot be regarded as a catastrophe. Maybe at most, he will become miserable.
But, he will not die, let alone be defeated!
This is his will, and it is also the result he deduced based on the facts. But as time goes by, the sense of oppression is still getting stronger.
At the same time, voices sounded from various places in this secret world:
"What's going on?"
"Is it possible that some extraordinary treasure is about to be revealed?"
"It's so strange. This scene doesn't look like the sect's arrangement."
"Isn't this the magical power used by some madman?"
…
Sounds sounded one after another one after another.
These sounds originated from all corners of the secret world and from those who participated in the trial. At this moment, they also felt the movement here.
However, although these people are curious, their instinct as living beings still guides them to keep them away.
Because they are not sure that if they get close to Gu Qingyang and Ye Lu, they will definitely be able to get the so-called treasures of heaven, materials and earth.
"kill!"
On the other side, on the real main battlefield, following Ye Lu's roar, there was even more thunder in the sky.
Gu Qingyang showed an extremely calm look, but this time, he did not sacrifice any magic weapon.
He didn't even offer any talismans.
He didn't take any defensive measures.
He actually just stood there and waited silently for the enemy's offensive. Seeing this scene, many elders couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Qingyang had always behaved too cunningly before this, they wouldn't believe it at all that the silly boy in front of them was Gu Qingyang.
But, is Gu Qingyang really stupid?
Doesn't he know the power of this blow?
No, he knows.
He knows everything.
He just didn't want to dodge, he just wanted to take advantage of Ye Lu's offensive.
In fact, Gu Qingyang's real idea is also very simple, that is, to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big gamble.
The power of God contained in this thunder technique may seem terrifying to others.
But what he wanted to rely on was this divine power that was infinitely close to reality.
"Once, I was extremely weak."
"Once upon a time, I could only live a humble life."
"Faced with the thunder of the sky, I am like one of those buried trees."
"That time, I survived. I am luckier than those burial trees."
"However, luck can only change the temporary outcome. How can a truly strong person rely solely on luck?"
"This time, I won't hide."
"This is my calamity of becoming a demon."
"If this calamity passes, I will become a demon."
"Even if the calamity has not passed, there is no harm in dying."
"Perhaps this is how a person's life is, facing countless choices."
"I've lost so many things, and now I just want to hold on to what I can."
"If this is the way of life, then so be it."
"I am already walking on the road, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
…
Gu Qingyang kept mumbling to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
However, every time he said something, those elders could hear it clearly.
But now, everyone including the old man Tianshi feels that these words are what Gu Qingyang said from the bottom of his heart.
It was from this moment that these people felt that it was possible for Gu Qingyang to return to the Hanging Coffin Sect. Because they had seen Gu Qingyang's needs.
However, even if they want to give Gu Qingyang something he needs, they have to wait until this battle is over and this trial is over.
"boom--"
Thunder light blooms and the dragon roars angrily!
In an instant, Gu Qingyang was completely swallowed by the lightning. And Ye Lu had turned into a man of light whose whole body exuded a pure white light.
"Hahaha, let me see what kind of treasure is about to be born here!"
"God is really helping me. Something extraordinary must appear here."
However, at this moment, a group of bone cultivators also appeared. And these people obviously regarded this place as the place where the secret treasure appeared.
It's a pity that there are no rare treasures or secret treasures here? What we have here are just two madmen fighting to the death, nothing more.
