Volume 2 Devil's Southward Chapter 398 Sleeping Under the Ancient Tree
He was born with a sword bone, and he was a genius with outstanding talents in sword practice. And he has never been ashamed of this talent along the way.
In addition to his talent, compared to other powerful young people, in terms of effort and blood sweat, he is not even a little bit worse than those people.
Along the way, he killed many people.
Those dead opponents not only made him a hero, but also made him proud of his sword. He believed that his sword would be invincible.
It was precisely because of this confidence in his own strength that he did not deliberately understand Gu Qingyang's strength before the game started.
It can be said that all his understanding of Gu Qingyang's strength comes from Gu Qingyang's performance in the first game.
Nie Xiong, who is also a disciple in black, is still a bone cultivator in the phase bone realm. But he is different, he is already in the glazed realm.
What's more, the way he cultivates is swordsmanship.
It is already a well-known fact that the killing ability of swordsman bone cultivators is the most terrifying among bone cultivators of the same level.
It was precisely because of these factors that he maintained his resolve from the beginning and his confidence that he was destined to be invincible.
But at this moment, when Gu Qingyang no longer deliberately suppressed his strength, he showed a fighting posture that truly suited Gu Qingyang's own situation.
Liu Qianchou was still a little panicked.
Although Liu Qianchou's reason had been telling him that Gu Qingyang was just a bone cultivator in the phase bone realm and had just been promoted to a disciple in black.
However, when he saw that Gu Qingyang had so many cultivation paths, and that Gu Qingyang's cultivation level in each of the cultivation paths was not weaker than the way of swordsmanship.
He still had doubts about himself.
Yeah, can he really win?
This was the first time in his life that he looked at himself with a questioning eye like this.
He felt that he saw the possibility of his own failure in Gu Qingyang.
Although he preferred to believe that this might just be his illusion, his instinct was still reminding him that this duel was really different from the past.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding——"
Soon, a series of explosions sounded in this martial arts arena. Runes were generated and extinguished, and countless spells were manifested one by one in this martial arts arena.
Lili swords are like real weeds, growing in this martial arts arena, and then filling the entire martial arts arena.
But if these weeds are just weeds, then that's it. But the problem is that every grass here is a sword, and they are all Gu Qingyang's swords.
Lili sword.
It comes from an epiphany of ancient Qingyang and is derived from the true meaning of Kurong in the Taicang Kurong Sutra. What it symbolizes is part of the ancient Qingyang Tao.
Although Liu Qianchou's sword also represents Liu Qianchou's way, the current Liu Qianchou is only in the Glazed Realm after all.
In terms of actual cultivation, the height that Gu Qingyang had reached was probably something that Liu Qianchou could never reach in his entire life.
Therefore, even if there is a real gap between Liu Qianchou and Gu Qingyang, Gu Qingyang is far ahead of him.
If it weren't for the fact that the current Gu Qingyang's cultivation was indeed a level lower than Liu Qianchou's, then this duel would have ended quickly.
"One sword heart comes."
The sword array rioted, and countless divine chains were derived from the sword array, trying to restrain Liu Qianchou, and then the Lili Swords completed the final killing.
Faced with this situation, Liu Qianchou could only roar loudly and use all his remaining spiritual power to deduce the true meaning of his swordsmanship to the extreme.
Facing Gu Qingyang's offensive, he almost used all his strength to slash out a sword energy.
Soon, this sword energy collided with the offensive launched by Gu Qingyang.
In just a few moments, the martial arts arena was engulfed in bright brilliance.
From this moment on, the atmosphere of chaos began to permeate the entire martial arts arena.
In the brilliance, it seems that it is the only one that can explain the brutality of this duel.
In the audience, the bystanders frowned even more, trying to see something from the scene in front of them.
But the movement created by Gu Qingyang and Liu Qianchou was so great that the chaotic aura could cover up all the auras.
For a while, there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, in a corner of the martial arts arena, Liu Qianchou was supporting the ground with the sword in his hand, barely keeping himself from falling.
His tiger's mouth had cracked open, and his whole body was covered in blood and flesh. The exposed white bones were also covered with countless scars.
It's shocking at first glance.
This is now. Although he has not failed yet, he has been seriously injured under Gu Qingyang's offensive, and even looked defeated.
"No, no, no-"
Standing in the sword formation, Liu Qianchou, who has practiced swordsmanship all his life, can naturally feel the mystery of the operation of the sword formation and feel the terror.
And this was also the reason why he made that sound at this moment, because he realized that the winner would probably be decided before long.
He had a premonition that he might fail.
But he doesn’t want to fail, he doesn’t want to see himself after failure! He is a natural master of swordsmanship, how could he fail?
He was unwilling, he was in pain! He wanted to reverse the entire situation! And at this moment, when his emotion was extremely strong.
Lines of pale white brilliance also began to burst out from his body. The source of these brilliance was clearly his life bone.
"kill!"
Liu Qianchou roared again, and when the light dissipated, his entire aura became countless times more powerful than before.
Everyone looked around, and they suddenly discovered that Liu Qianchou had revealed his kendo glazed body at this moment, and he was obviously serious about it.
Compared with the current Liu Qianchou, Gu Qingyang looked like he had not recovered from his serious injuries, but had added new injuries, adding more injuries on top of them, until he was extremely weak.
With the way these two people are looking now, no matter how you look at it, the person who is likely to lose next should be Gu Qingyang.
"Zhengzhengzhengzhengzheng——"
Waves of clanging sword sounds that no one had ever heard resounded throughout the martial arts arena, under the pressure of Liu Qianchou.
Those countless Lili swords were obviously the source of the sound of the swords. And such changes also made many people's expressions change drastically.
"I heard that if those bone cultivators who have reached the Glazed Realm meet a fellow cultivator after reaching the Glazed Realm, they will fight against them."
"If the opponent's cultivation level is not as good as mine, those Liuli realm bone cultivators can forcibly suppress their opponent."
"even--"
"You can even directly use the opponent's power for your own use, and directly suppress the opponent during the duel."
"Is it possible——"
…
There was never a shortage of discussion in the audience.
And what they were talking about actually happened to Gu Qingyang.
Yes, Liu Qianchou was indeed trying to control Gu Qingyang's sword by force.
Even though Gu Qingyang was indeed superior to him in terms of his understanding of the realm of cultivation.
But now Gu Qingyang is indeed only at the bone phase cultivation level.
The gap in cultivation level is essentially a chasm.
The suppression of the realm is even more terrifying and frightening.
If it had been anyone else, Liu Qianchou would have been suppressed by Liu Qianchou.
But Gu Qingyang was different. When Liu Qianchou showed his full strength and planned to use this strength to suppress him.
Gu Qingyang thought of his past feelings, and the road he had traveled. So, amidst the continuous sound of swords, he moved forward resolutely.
"I have thought about it more than once, why do people live in this life."
"Is it for wealth, power, status or something else?"
"I have seen many sights."
"But at the end of the road, I realized that a person's thoughts in this life are actually his first heart."
…
In a dangerous situation, from being seriously injured to being on the verge of death, Gu Qingyang completed such a change in just a few breaths.
Liu Qianchou failed to successfully control his Lili Sword, but due to the difference in realm, Liu Qianchou was indeed able to suppress these swords.
Gu Qingyang felt isolated and helpless.
But when Gu Qingyang felt this way, he also realized that he had actually been like this for so many years.
He has always been the only one to save others, and he has always been the one to protect others. He has lost a lot, but no one is willing to give him what he wants.
Once upon a time, there was a person who could do these things for him. But that person eventually disappeared in the long years.
Being alone is his fate.
I am alone and helpless, but I have to keep moving forward.
This is his current situation, and this has been his experience all along. His path seems to be destined to remain like this.
Is he willing?
Of course he was not willing to give in, so he said these words in front of everyone. Although these words would make others feel inexplicable.
But he doesn't care what others think, he only thinks about his Taoist heart. So what if others don't understand him?
Even if there are only bumps in the road ahead, so what? Even if his enemies are countless and extremely powerful, so what?
He will go on.
He must find the original person in his own way. They will be together forever and truly never be separated.
Compared with Liu Qianchou's invincible Taoist heart that was derived from his victories all the way, his Taoist heart seems to be more worthy of being called the invincible Taoist heart.
"Failure is not terrible."
"Failure doesn't matter."
"What really matters is how many times you get up after you have failed."
"Go on, go on... the road is at your feet, go! Go on!"
…
Gu Qingyang was approaching his enemy step by step, which was Liu Qianchou not far away.
Because of the full explosion of spiritual power, Liu Qianchou evolved endless sword moves as his killing move.
Compared to other bone repairs.
The battle between kendo bone cultivators is more like a battle of life and death, even if the rules are just up to the mark.
But the essence of kendo bone cultivation will not change. What's more, the sword is originally designed to kill people.
As Gu Qingyang moved forward, he had been enduring such attacks.
Under such a terrifying offensive, his clothes seemed to be no different from his body.
Because they will all be broken, and they will all be turned into pieces as big as dust under the force of the sword.
However, just when everyone thought that Gu Qingyang, the dark horse, would finally meet his end in such a tragic manner.
Black radiance, and white radiance.
Instead, they began to emerge on Gu Qingyang's body, and then evolved into a piece of clothing under the incredulous gazes of everyone.
It was the emperor's robe with armor. It was completely black but the armor was white. There was also the emperor's crown, which was also completely black.
"The imperial crown symbolizes supreme power."
"But to me, and to those who don't exist at all, it is a responsibility, a kind of sustenance, and a kind of waiting."
"Those creatures placed their last hopes on me and gave me the greatest respect. I will not let them down."
"When disaster falls from the sky, I will resist everything for them. And you are just a small meteorite in this disaster."
…
Wearing imperial robes and crown.
At this moment, Gu Qingyang has completely changed his temperament, and he no longer looks like a high-spirited young genius.
At this moment, no matter how you look at him, he is extremely calm and calm. Even the horrific injuries make his face pale.
But now he seems to be a unique emperor, he is infinitely close to reality.
It was so real that those in the audience couldn't help but have the urge to kneel down and worship him.
Gu Qingyang's transformation also made Liu Qianchou, whose entire body turned into glass, momentarily stunned.
He obviously couldn't understand what kind of person Gu Qingyang was. However, Liu Qianchou's stunned look confirmed his failure.
"Let's start over."
"It's better not to go down the wrong road. What's the point of going in the opposite direction?"
"If we start over, break and then stand again, we may still be qualified to touch the top."
…
Gu Qingyang was speaking silently, and while speaking, he also took action boldly. He threw his blood into the air and let it turn into a sharp blade.
The moment Gu Qingyang finished speaking, the sharp blade struck Liu Qianchou's body.
This sharp blade did not make Liu Qianchou fall, but it caused him to be in a dying state and lose his fighting power under his disbelieving eyes.
He fell heavily to the ground, but Gu Qingyang did not kill him. Gu Qingyang's mind did not change, it was still the same as before, he still wanted to sell favors.
However, when Liu Qianchou wakes up, Liu Qianchou himself will inevitably face the biggest hurdle in his life.
Crossing this hurdle is like a fish leaping over the dragon's gate.
If you can't cross it, you will be trapped for life.
From this perspective alone, if Liu Qianchou couldn't overcome it, Gu Qingyang seemed to be regarded as the culprit by him.
But in fact, Gu Qingyang himself knew very well that he had done nothing wrong. People like Liu Qianchou, even if they do not fail now.
After waiting, he will still experience a failure.
Rather than waiting until then to experience the collapse of Taoist heart, it is better to experience it in advance.
In this way, the hope of rebuilding the Taoist heart will be greater.
And the only people who can see through this meaning are the elders of Liu Qianchou's sect.
It is precisely because of this that at this moment, these people are looking at Gu Qingyang with admiration.
Logically speaking, in the world of bone cultivators, no one would help their enemies easily.
Everyone, every bone cultivator, is almost eager to eliminate all enemies in the blink of an eye.
And Gu Qingyang could do this just to give them some face, so that both parties could stop talking so that they could meet again in the future.
People like them, like their elders, usually see a lot of talented people. But there are people like Gu Qingyang who know how to do things and be a good person.
That's not very little, but none at all.
So for a while, many elders also cast admiring glances at Wang Daolin.
It is really an unprecedented good thing to have such young people join their Shenlu Academy and form a good relationship with the academy.
Of course, they had to change their previous views, and they had to admire Wang Daolin, and even more admire his vision.
However, after Liu Qianchou was also carried down, Gu Qingyang instantly collapsed to the ground and lost all his strength.
His phase bone spirit equipment is slowly disappearing.
At this moment, he only has less than 10% of his strength left. Moreover, if his injuries are not treated in time.
Then, it won't be long before he, like his opponents, will face dangers that can endanger his own life.
At this moment, a light curtain appeared:
“Would you like to opt out?”
"No."
Gu Qingyang reluctantly sat cross-legged on the ground. He squinted his eyes, tried his best to recover from his injuries, and gave his answer in a weak voice.
This scene also moved the disciples of Shenlu Academy present. When they looked at Gu Qingyang again.
Unknowingly, there seemed to be a bit of reverence in their eyes.
And the reason why they did this was because they saw Gu Qingyang's persistence.
It is difficult for a person to persevere to this point and work so hard for practice! However, at the same time, the light curtain also appeared again.
