Chapter 27 God rewards those who work hard
Chapter 27 God rewards those who work hard
The ray of cold light that pierced through the dim morning mist disappeared so quickly, like a quick fluttering by, that most people still looked bewildered after hearing the words "Winner Gu Zhuo".
It was not until the next moment, when Gu Zhuo emerged from the fog with a sword in his hand and appeared in front of people, that the cheers and uproar came belatedly and were deafening.
With Baicao Garden as the center, all the people within a radius of more than 100 feet who witnessed the result of the first battle were in an uproar, constantly cheering Gu Zhuo's name, and few people cared about the specific process of this battle.
However, no matter how little it is, it is still there.
……
……
"What's the matter with this sword?" Guan Xingu asked with a frown.
With his realm and rich experience working in the Sky Patrol Department, he could naturally see through the fog covering the long street and see the real picture under the cold light, but it was also for this reason that he fell into confusion and doubt.
Yu Yinchun looked a little hesitant and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the sword move just now should be the famous sword technique taught in Changzhou Academy... Da Jiang Dong Qu?"
Chen Chi's realm was higher than his two colleagues, so he could see more clearly. He said in a complicated voice, "It is indeed the Eastward Flowing River. I fought with the people from Changzhou Academy several times during the summer festival and experienced this move myself. But no matter how hard I thought, I couldn't imagine that there was such a sword in the world."
Both of them understood the meaning of these words, and precisely because they understood them so well, they couldn't help but fall into confusion and couldn't find a way out.
In their original plan, the best way for Gu Zhuo to win the first battle of the day was to take advantage of his special ability to control the sword after entering Dong Zhen, to launch a crazy attack with Zhe Xue, and to use the advantage of the sword to force Lan Yidonggang to save himself, so that the situation would continue to favor him until the outcome was clear.
However, the picture that appeared in their eyes today was completely different.
The long street was shrouded in fog, and the atmosphere of heaven and earth was slightly disordered.
Due to an unexpected situation, Lan Yidonggang was unable to draw his sword immediately, and had to use his Qi to lock onto Gu Zhuo first.
Just at the same time.
Gu Zhuo drew his sword.
The sword came without any warning, as if the water of a river came from the sky, covered by mist, ethereal and indescribable, with an aura of immortality.
If things ended there, the three of them would not be so surprised, because this was ultimately Gu Zhuo's business. It was he who broke through himself and took advantage of the right time and place to push this sword to the pinnacle.
What happened next was what really confused and bewildered them.
Just as Gu Zhuo's sword light was flowing eastward like a mighty river, Lan Yidonggang happened to catch the former's breath, so he drew his sword without hesitation.
This sword was famous in Wangjing for its speed. It was the foundation of Lan Yidonggang's life. The only flaw was at the moment when the sword was drawn, and Gu Zhuo's sword fell at the moment when the flaw appeared.
When it all happened in that moment, things became simple.
Lan Yidonggang in the fog was like a light boat, about to sail through the mountains... but a surging river rushed down from the sky and crushed him completely without any effort.
That's all that happened in that instant.
It’s really simple, but it’s also really not simple, because the whole process is seamless.
One point or one millimeter difference will result in a huge loss.
However, the perfection of this battle was as if Gu Zhuo and Lan Yidonggang had rehearsed it thousands of times in advance.
It's just baffling.
It really makes no sense.
It can't be possible that Gu Zhuo had already planned everything out, right?
……
……
There is nothing inexplicable or unreasonable, but it was indeed planned in advance.
Therefore, the entire process of this battle seemed natural to Gu Zhuo.
As early as seven days ago, he had asked Wanwu to carefully inquire about Lan Yidong's fighting habits, to determine what preparations the other party had made for today's battle, how the sword would be cut, and when the time and place were all favorable on his side...
Then.
One sword can defeat it, so what's the big deal?
So after winning the battle, he didn't say a word, but just walked out with his sword in hand, heading for the next scheduled battle.
"How did you do this?"
Lan Yidonggang's voice sounded from behind him, bewildered and still stunned, muttering to himself like in a dream.
Gu Zhuo didn't look back. He thought for a moment and said honestly, "God rewards hard work."
"God rewards hard work?"
Lan Yidonggang was completely stunned.
After a moment, he made a sound that was not sure whether it was crying or laughing, which sounded a bit crazy.
……
...Gu Zhuo walked forward alone.
The crowds along the street parted like the tide, and there was no need for constables to maintain order. Naturally, a smooth path to heaven was opened up for him.
The crowd did not become silent, the atmosphere became more and more heated.
Especially those young girls, seeing the young man in black shirt not disheveled at all coming out of the fog with a sword in hand, they could not maintain their composure at all and called out his name loudly like crazy.
On the day when Gu Zhuo decided to fight thirteen games in a single day, the people of Wangjing all thought that he had gone completely crazy, and thus fell into a strange silence.
In the crowd, a little girl from Changzhou Academy was extremely excited. She grabbed the hand of her friend and shouted, "I knew I was right. I told you not to believe in Senior Brother Gu. How could someone like Senior Brother Gu who believes in God rewarding hard work be so arrogant!"
……
……
Lin Wanyi looked at the young man walking in the crowd from afar, her eyes were exceptionally bright and her smile was sweet.
On a tall building in the distant imperial palace, Pei Jinge looked at the black shirt that was not stained by dust, and at the mist that dissipated with the arrival of morning light. There was a strange emotion in his eyes, and he thought that this was indeed interesting.
With her realm and vision, she could certainly see that Gu Zhuo's sword was the result of careful planning.
She hadn't seen such a young man in a long time.
She whispered, "God rewards hard work?"
……
……
The location Gu Zhuo chose for the second battle was not far from the first battle, and even the time was quite close.
That is the wide intersection at the end of the long street after turning left out of Baicao Garden. The area has naturally been cleared by the government and everyone who should be there has already arrived.
The result of the first battle had already been spread here through the noisy voices of the crowd, and even with the help of some people with ulterior motives, the specific details of the battle were known to Gu Zhuo's opponents.
It was obvious that Gu Zhuo and Lan Yidonggang's cooperation was so seamless that it was impossible to draw any useful experience from this battle.
Faced with this situation, imagining the stunning sword "The Great River Flows East", Ming Ziyun, who always puts prudence first in everything, looked at Gu Zhuo who had already stepped into the battlefield, and thought to himself that he must not take it lightly.
The best option should be to advance step by step, relying on years of combat experience and the advantage of true energy to wear down the opponent.
At this time, the morning mist had completely dissipated and the sky was gradually brightening.
The two stood opposite each other.
The officials present confirmed that it was correct and declared the second battle begun.
There was no difference from the previous battle, Gu Zhuo still took the lead in drawing his sword.
But this sword is no longer the Great River Flowing East of Changzhou Academy.
The snow flew out of his hand.
Go through the air.
The distance of less than ten feet was wiped out in an instant and arrived in front of Ming Ziyun.
Unlike Lan Yidonggang, he had no intention of attacking. He had already prepared for defense and stared at Zhe Xue.
But at this moment, the sky happened to be bright.
Light is the fastest thing in the world.
No one can surpass him.
The blade of the Zhexue sword is as clear as a mirror.
As the skylight fell, the sword light reflected in Ming Ziyun's eyes naturally became brighter.
It is like a bright sun that suddenly appears in the world, but cannot be seen directly.
Ming Ziyun's mind suddenly became confused and he closed his eyes subconsciously. His defensive posture became disrupted and he leaped backward, retreating extremely quickly.
No matter how fast it is, how can it be faster than a flying sword?
A snap, or dozens of soft sounds.
When Zhexue returned to Gu Zhuo's hands, Ming Ziyun's body already had dozens of wounds of varying depths, with blood constantly oozing out of them.
The outcome has been decided.
Gu Zhuo moved his wrist slightly, and Zhexue shook slightly. Blood spilled all over the ground like rain, but the sword was still spotless.
Without even looking at Ming Ziyun, he walked into the crowd and said casually, "Next game."
