Chapter 144: Reunion with Li Dahu
Li Dahu immediately raised his knife to meet the attack.
He didn't use any Taoist power or sword techniques, but only the most simple and unadorned basic moves to fight!
"boom--"
At the moment of impact, a powerful burst of energy exploded out.
"boom!"
The mountain gate shook again, and countless cracks appeared on the ground, resembling a spider web!
Huang Li felt a sharp pain in both arms, almost dislocating them!
He could sense that Li Dahu had suppressed his cultivation to the first level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, so this could be considered a fair duel, yet he was completely at a disadvantage.
His true essence of the Wild Blade was easily countered by Li Dahu.
"You're still a bit weak. Here's an idea... I'll give you one more chance. If I can handle it, I win; otherwise, you lose."
Li Dahu said with a grin.
"you……"
Huang Li gritted his teeth.
This is actually because they were underestimated.
But there was nothing he could do, because compared to this "mad swordsman king," he was indeed far too weak. The other man claimed to be coming to challenge him, but he probably didn't intend to fight seriously; he just wanted to test his skills with a few moves.
He stared intently at Li Dahu: "Fine, since you're willing to give me this opportunity, I'll accept it!"
After Huang Li finished speaking, he directly drew his sword and concentrated his power! Li Dahu sheathed his sword and waited quietly. After about a quarter of an hour, the long sword in Huang Li's hand was covered with pure blood light. His eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp. Like an arrow released from a bow, he instantly covered several feet. The long sword in his hand left a trail of afterimages!
Blade-wielding slaughter!
All that could be seen was a sky full of blood-red sword shadows, which seemed to transform into a vast army, sweeping towards Li Dahu like a tidal wave!
The power of this move is probably much greater than before. Huang Li is even confident that if Li Dahu underestimates him so much, he will definitely suffer a lot if he is caught off guard.
But Li Dahu remained firmly in mid-air, without moving an inch.
He gently tapped the hilt of the knife with his left hand.
Zheng!
A crisp, clear sound rang out as the sword was drawn from its sheath!
His sword strike, though seemingly unadorned and simple, possessed a domineering and sharp quality that seemed to survey the heavens and earth!
"Om-"
The tremor reverberated in everyone's hearts!
The countless sword shadows collapsed and disappeared in an instant, as if they had never existed at all!
"how come……"
Huang Li was stunned.
His carefully crafted and powerful move was so easily neutralized?
"Haha, that's more like it!"
Li Dahu sheathed his steel knife and laughed heartily.
"It seems that the true meaning of the Desolate Blade is indeed quite good. It's just a pity that your skill is still lacking. I didn't enjoy fighting it."
He then said another sentence that nearly made Huang Li, who had just caught his breath and regained a little strength, faint.
Li Dahu naturally felt he hadn't had enough fun. This was because Huang Li's cultivation level was far too low, and judging from his appearance, he was still reeling from his previous defeat, so there was probably little hope for him.
He traveled the world, challenging powerful figures everywhere, hoping to comprehend the various sword intents others had grasped and then use them to improve himself. To be honest, although he was a little disappointed when he came to the Desolate Sword Sect, he at least managed to exchange a couple of blows.
It wasn't like they left empty-handed.
"The agreement I made with your previous sect leader has now been fulfilled."
He sheathed his knife and left without looking back.
A large group of people from the Desolate Blade Sect were left standing beside the mountain gate, staring blankly.
Especially most of the disciples, from the initial panic to the current bewilderment... It seems that the Desolate Blade Sect is having some bad luck. Their sect leader has been challenged and lost twice in a row.
Will there be no future if we continue to stay in the Desolate Blade Sect? Many disciples had this question in their minds.
Li Dahu, on the other hand, remembered the mysterious and powerful "young man" he had encountered more than ten days ago.
Gu Heng.
That Brother Gu, isn't he living in seclusion in the south of Yunling City? And he even runs a clinic?
Should we give them a visit?
Li Dahu's mind is as straightforward as his personality; once he has an idea, he'll just do it.
So he changed direction and headed towards Yunling City.
……
For the past few days, Gu Heng has been living the same routine every day.
I got up, first checked on Qin Yiyao and Bai Feier, then changed their dressings, wiped their bodies with hot water, brewed some herbal medicine, and fed it to them… everything was done in an orderly manner. The clinic was naturally closed these days.
Gu Heng put in his utmost effort to take good care of them, but these past few days, apart from taking care of people, no one else has come to the clinic.
The two old servants of the Bai family said they had to return to the Bai family to report that Bai Feier had been assassinated and seriously injured, and left early.
However, Gu Heng was now somewhat nervous.
After all, Bai Feier was ambushed and seriously injured on the way back from the Thousand Swords Hunting Grounds because she went with Qin Yiyao. In the end, it was Qin Yiyao who protected her little girl.
Without her, the little girl might be a cold corpse by now.
Therefore, Gu Heng was now too embarrassed to explain himself to the two old servants.
Fortunately, they were both quite reasonable, after all, they were both victims.
Then there was that old man, who never came back either. I heard his shop was also closed, and I wonder where that old man went to enjoy his retirement.
"Sigh... how many more days can we live like this?"
Gu Heng sat in the front yard, petting the kitten and calculating the time.
Today was just another uneventful day.
I'm so bored, it's driving me crazy.
But too much excitement is also bad; being assassinated is obviously the worst possible outcome.
"Dong dong!"
There was a knock on the door.
The little silver cat in Gu Heng's arms poked its head out, its eyes full of vigilance.
A master has arrived!
"The clinic is closed and we are not seeing patients these days. Sorry."
Gu Heng called out to the door.
However, the person outside the door responded directly: "Brother Gu, it's me, Li Dahu." Hearing the familiar voice and name, Gu Heng was stunned for a long time.
Li Dahu? It seems like he's a particularly rugged, burly man I met about ten days ago, who's obsessed with practicing swordsmanship?
Thinking this through, Gu Heng still went to open the door.
Then, Li Dahu's big face with its simple and honest smile immediately came into Gu Heng's view.
Sure enough it was him.
That day, Jingku Valley watched the battle. After watching the two, they left separately. Although Gu Heng told him the location of his clinic before leaving, he didn't expect this simple-minded man to come and visit.
But since I'm here, it's fine. I'm bored right now, so it's good to have someone to chat with.
