Chapter 98: Outspoken Li Dahu
Chapter 98: Outspoken Li Dahu
Li Dahu rushed in from outside the Riyan Dynasty.
The purpose of coming here is for the Huangdao Sect... or in other words, for a "promise" he made with someone hundreds of years ago.
When he arrived in Kuyun Province, he heard that the leader of the Huangdao Sect was going to fight the supreme elder of the Nianling Sect for a second battle. Both of them had advanced to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and this battle would be even more exciting.
But Li Dahu was not interested in these. What he was more interested in was the "True Meaning of the Wild Sword" passed down from generation to generation by the Wild Sword Sect.
So, here he comes.
I want to see how well the leader of the Wild Blade Sect can fight.
Li Dahu waited for several days on a low hill farthest from Jingku Valley, but unexpectedly, the person he was going to fight with did not show up, but a mysterious young man showed up first.
He was shocked at first, because Li Dahu had set up a very hidden ban on this low hill to prevent him from being disturbed.
This restriction is almost impossible to detect below the fifth level of the Tribulation Period, and even if it can be detected, it is not easy to break.
But this Brother Gu just walked in and ignored it!
It's a bit... too awesome!
Although Li Dahu was honest and straightforward, he immediately understood that this was an unknown strong man!
And much stronger than him!
So, he simply started chatting with Gu Heng.
Li Dahu wanted to try to see if he could establish a superficial relationship with Gu Heng by recognizing his face. After all, it wouldn't hurt to get to know more powerful people.
Secondly, I also want to know what such a strong man is doing here.
Because with his strength so unfathomable that it is impossible to see clearly, the "battle" of this Tribulation Crossing cultivator is no different from a fight between children.
Li Dahu chewed the melon and then said to Gu Heng, "Brother Gu, I have something unpleasant to say."
Gu Heng waved his hand.
"But it doesn't matter. I've heard everything."
"In my opinion, Brother Gu is not someone who is interested in this kind of thing."
Gu Heng chuckled and nodded.
"But I have nothing to do, and there's a fight going on. It would be a shame if I didn't watch it."
Indeed, what Gu Heng wanted to see most in this kind of battle between strong men was how gorgeous and fierce their moves were.
Just for fun.
To say whether I'm interested or not... a little, but not completely.
Gu Heng always leaves some room for others when speaking to strangers, so that he can make himself sound a little more philosophical.
Oh, I see.
It seems that Brother Gu has been in seclusion for a long time, but he doesn't want to take action himself, so he may just want to come out and watch others fight.
He could totally understand.
Li Dahu chewed the melon with a ferocious look on his face and said, "Well, I know what you mean when I see Brother Gu's expression. This is self-cultivation. He is nothing like me, a country bumpkin. Look at my clothes. Although they are clean, they are still patched up..."
He seemed to be complaining, but Gu Heng couldn't hear that tone. On the contrary, he seemed very confident and self-aware.
I speak my mind.
Gu Heng chuckled secretly, thinking that it was not easy to meet such a straightforward person these days. He continued to eat melon seeds and looked at the hilltops that were gradually filled with people.
"I hope the time spent here will be more worthwhile."
He lay on the bluestone, watching the warm sunlight shining down."Brother Gu, you can't say that. Since you're here, it doesn't matter what the final result is."
Li Dahu muttered as he munched on a melon.
"Brother Li, you seem to be very open-minded. Do you practice swordsmanship?"
Gu Heng chatted with Li Dahu out of boredom, and took a look at the knife on Li Dahu's waist. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Although it was very simple, it was definitely useful.
Of course, it's not as good as the ones he forged.
Gu Heng's forging skills are absolutely top-notch among mortals, and because of this, he has seen too many particularly inferior weapons. So far, the only weapon that he can praise as "well-made" was made by only one person.
It was Zhuge Qian who had come to challenge him before.
As a mortal, Gu Heng believes that Zhuge Qian has a strong character and desire to win, and is extremely obsessed with and pursues the craft of forging. The reason why Gu Heng can beat him is simply because of the system. Excluding the existence of the system, Zhuge Qian must be more powerful.
But now, Gu Heng also felt that the simple broadsword on Li Dahu's waist was very good.
I just don't know which mortal craftsman made this wonderful thing.
Hearing Gu Heng's question, Li Dahu scratched his head and nodded repeatedly, but he did not seem humble, which made people feel more of his honesty.
"Hey, I've liked practicing swordsmanship since I was a kid. I've practiced for so long, but I don't have much to show for it. I just have a few basic skills..."
Gu Heng suddenly realized: "So, you are interested in this Wild Blade Sect."
It's easy to guess.
This fellow likes to play with knives. A sect as big as the Wild Blade Sect is famous for its swordsmanship. Their leader must be very powerful and majestic when he plays with a knife. He can probably split mountains and crack the earth with it.
Then Li Dahu would definitely want to see it.
He chuckled, and although he looked simple and honest, he was also quite shrewd.
Gu Heng couldn't help laughing when he saw his expression. Li Dahu was actually quite good-looking. His big dark face and honest look made him look more approachable, especially his eyes which seemed to be able to speak.
"Brother Gu, let me tell you..."
Li Dahu moved closer to Gu Heng and whispered, "This Jingku Valley actually has a history."
"oh?"
"Look, there was actually a decisive battle here two hundred years ago, and it was exactly the same as this time!"
Li Dahu knows a lot.
At least Gu Heng had no idea that the reason there was a huge pit a hundred feet wide in the Jingku Valley was actually the trace left over from the last decisive battle.
Moreover, the people who fought were exactly the same.
The only difference is that their cultivation has increased significantly.
Of course, Gu Heng didn't know that the Nianling Sect and the Huangdao Sect had such a past. It seemed that the grudge had been accumulating for a long time, but he himself had no interest in finding out.
But Li Dahu understood all this very well, and he began to talk incessantly to Gu Heng about the past grievances between the two major sects two hundred years ago. They talked and ate at the same time, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Gu Heng was surprised that Li Dahu was so skilled in talking about these things...
This person must really yearn for the life of a monk.
In the blink of an eye, almost two hours passed.
But this time, the person who came was no longer a mortal.
Gu Heng looked towards the east and west sides of Jingku Valley, and saw more than ten large spirit ships on both sides, sailing towards Jingku Valley in mid-air.
These ships are all giant boats, dark blue in color, and sparkling with cold light under the scorching sun.
Seeing these giant boats appear, the mortals and monks watching the battle on the mountains around Jingku Valley became agitated.
The real owner has finally arrived.
