Free Web NovelChapter 2579: Chapter 126: All Beings Are Afflicted
"But there is one rule," Gu Huaixin said calmly. "This is a fair duel limited to the Outer Building level, fairness is the premise for you to get a chance. If you use forces beyond the understanding of the Outer Building, you die."
Li Daorong realized the problem but remained calm. "May I ask, Elder Gu, what constitutes forces beyond the understanding of the Outer Building?"
Gu Huaixin replied, "That is for me to decide."
Li Daorong fully understood.
What nonsense about a fair fight — this Gu Huaixin is clearly using his weight as the Unborn Sect Founder to pave the way for his precious disciple.
These elders of the major sects have employed various tricks for many years, none being particularly novel.
He did not feel anger, only a sense of regret over "never really having a chance."
"Alright, I accept this challenge," Li Daorong said calmly. "I just hope the senior can keep his promise."
In this moment, he fully recognized his fate. From the moment he was captured by Gu Huaixin, he should have given up any hope of survival!
But who exactly is Zhang Linchuan?
And who exactly is Li Daorong?
His cultivation level was once on par with Gu Huaixin!
How could he let Gu Huaixin mock him like this?
Everything has a price.
Gu Huaixin had previously lost his heir at the End of the World Platform, which was known throughout the Near Sea.
Today, since he dared to belittle him like this.
Though powerless to resist, perhaps he could use this last bit of life from his identity to make Gu Huaixin taste regret once again.
Gu Huaixin casually pointed again, a stream of light falling upon Li Daorong: "Rest assured, to be fair, I will temporarily isolate you from the possibility of your body’s support. Make the most of this body you have now, and I expect you to show something in order to verify... the quality of my True Disciple."
Li Daorong understood that he not only lost the possibility of support from his body, but Gu Huaixin also left a measure to erase him at any time.
A True Man of the Age would stop at nothing to ensure the safety of his disciple.
However, he said nothing and pretended not to know.
Let’s see what flowers can bloom in this pot.
Let’s see if he can emulate Jiang Wang’s story and, under the scrutiny of a True Man of the Age, break through limitations and kill this man’s disciple.
Back then, Jiang Wang relied on the pressure of Qi Country to restrain Gu Huaixin, forbidding him from taking action.
He can only rely on himself and wait for a momentary lapse from the True Man of the World.
Suddenly, he felt that, apart from the life-and-death ordeal, this was also a very meaningful challenge.
Even if he died in the end, this experience might still provide a little help for his body’s path to advancement, and he could thus be more at peace.
Such is life, why speak of misfortune?
Such is life, how can one say it is uninteresting?
He felt as if he was walking a splendid path, seeing many things in the contest with Heavenly Will that he had never seen before! If he passes this ordeal, his future will be vastly different!
The sea area circled by the True Man of the Age has become the battlefield.
During the communication between Gu Huaixin and Li Daorong, Zhu Bijing remained silent, seemingly naive, seemingly clumsy.
Only when she and Li Daorong stood apart and took positions did her aura become indistinct.
Li Daorong felt that this woman’s eyes were like a mirror, receiving all emotions and reflecting all emotions, but lacking her own presence...
As the sea breeze brought the first splash of waves, this battle, with only Gu Huaixin spectating, erupted.
The secret techniques of the Angry Whale Gang, Li Daorong had already innovated, and he had extracted the essence of the Nine Xuanzong Cultivation Techniques.
Adapting to the environment of the Near Sea Archipelago and fitting the innate talents of Li Daorong’s current body, he had long established a unique combat system. Though not as powerful as his original body in the Outer Building Environment, it was enough to compete for fame among Outer Building cultivators.
He had already written the script for every aspect of this battle.
How to launch the first offensive, how to defend, how to maneuver, how to feign weakness and lure into the Empty Gate, and most importantly... how to deceive Gu Huaixin.
In this so-called life-and-death duel, Gu Huaixin was his only true opponent.
How to prevent Gu Huaixin from interfering?
How to kill Zhu Bijing before Gu Huaixin kills him?
Flying in the air, with the body akin to a roc spreading its wings, surrounded by mixed water elements, Li Daorong had already devised seven tactics.
But an ancient stone door suddenly appeared in the sky.
The door opened from top to bottom, as if a hand from Beyond the Heavens pushed it open.
The world changed dramatically.
Li Daorong suddenly lost the ability to fly and involuntarily plummeted!
Countless tactics lost the possibility of connection. The style of offensive scattered in an instant.
"Heavenly Gate!" Li Daorong exclaimed in surprise.
The legendary Heavenly Gate Power, he had only heard of it, never seen it.
At this moment, as he personally sensed it, he immediately invoked sea tides to protect himself, intending to shift the battle into the sea.
But in front, only a flash of light was seen, Zhu Bijing’s figure was so fast that he couldn’t react at all! In an instant, she passed beside him, and her slender hand pierced through his chest like frost in the wind!
"This is Buzhou Wind, perhaps you recognize it."
Zhu Bijing calmly used this sentence to end this abrupt battle.
Both the beginning and ending of the battle were scenarios Li Daorong had never imagined.
But he fell, leaving only a large cavity between his chest and abdomen.
Gurgle, gurgle.
Surging sea tide.
