Chapter 170 The Sunset is also the Sun
When encountering problems, escaping may be shameless, but it is still a good choice.
However, there are always some things in this world that cannot be avoided.
For example, this letter of challenge.
Of course, Gu Zhuo could insist on refusing to the end, believing that Wang Mo would have no way to deal with him, but doing so would be too immoral.
At the Cihang Temple Dharma Assembly, Wang Mo publicly admitted that he was inferior, which was a decision that gave up the great opportunity of rebuilding the Taoist body to make way for him.
No matter what the reason for this decision, whether it is a refusal to become a knife in the hands of others, pure pride and dissatisfaction, or a slightly absurd rebellious temperament, it is a fact that has already happened.
It is reasonable and necessary for Gu Zhuo to accept this letter of challenge.
Ye Yilan asked cautiously: "Brother, when the time comes..."
Gu Zhuo knew what she was thinking. He just asked if he could watch the game. He said, "Sure."
Ye Yilan was satisfied.
Unlike ordinary people, the little girl didn't even ask him whether he had the confidence to defeat Wang Mo, and walked away as lightly as a rabbit.
After a moment, a soft, song-like voice came with the wind.
That was proof of her happiness.
Gu Zhuo was not in such a good mood.
A battle with Wang Mo was a matter of time, so he was not surprised. His complaints were due to the accumulation of things.
The most troublesome thing at the moment is how to deal with Wuyoushan's apology.
There is no use for Gu Zhuo to hold something like this in his hand.
The mountain master knew this clearly, so he sent the thing to him and asked him to pass it on to the queen on his behalf and say a few good words to ease the current difficult situation of Wuyou Mountain.
But he was in Wangjing instead of Shendu, which gave others the impression that he and the Empress were not getting along. Why did he have to do this?
Gu Zhuo stopped thinking about it because daydreaming was useless and it was impossible to get any answers.
He decided to write a letter to inform Lin Wanyi of the matter, let the person concerned make a decision, and then send the file into the Sansheng Tower to ensure that no one would steal the secret of Wuyou Mountain.
Then, just when he was about to sit down and have a good rest, the little girl came back.
Ye Yilan brought him a brand new piece of news.
Wang Mo’s response was straightforward.
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day.
Gu Zhuo was speechless.
Then he looked at Ye Yilan, who looked very happy, and said, "I don't think you should be so happy."
"what?"
The little girl was confused, touched her head and asked, "Why?"
Gu Zhuo said sincerely: "If he didn't choose today, I would have exempted you from the homework for that day if it was tomorrow or any other day in the future, but he chose today."
Ye Yilan thought, is this okay?
Seeing the little girl open her eyes wide, and the emotions in her eyes gradually filled with surprise and annoyance, until they were filled with dissatisfaction and hatred, Gu Zhuo's mood finally became cheerful.
……
……
In the evening, I looked out at the long embankment in the city of Wangjing.
The wind ruffled the water in Changge Lake, and the sparkling waves poured the evening fire into the world, dyeing the willow branches along the lake red like dancing flames.
There was dead silence on the long embankment, with no one in sight.
“I heard that more than a hundred years ago, this place was one of the eight scenic spots in Wangjing. It was always crowded with people, day or night.”
Wang Mo's voice was full of emotion: "I didn't expect it to be so desolate today, a hundred years later."
The time was set by him, but the location was proposed by Gu Zhuo.
It's very quiet here, with no tourists or idle people, which is perfect for a battle.
As long as the two of them don't make too much noise, I believe it won't alarm the people in Wangjing City, and the outcome of this battle will be left to the eyes of very few people.
Gu Zhuo looked at the scenery and said in a gentle voice: "There is always a time for meeting and parting. Nothing will last forever. These are just common things in the world."
Because of the decision to admit defeat, he still had a good impression of Wang Mo and didn't mind giving him a few suggestions.
One of the reasons why he chose to fight on this long dike was that he felt it was not necessary to let everyone know that Wang Mo was defeated, as that would be bad.
Wang Mo stopped looking at the dusk fire on the lake and turned to look at Gu Zhuo, saying, "I have heard similar words from Master before."
Ye Yilan, who was standing under a willow tree, couldn't help but feel a little strange when hearing this. She thought, how could it be right for someone to use his master to praise his opponent?
"I think you're a very strange person."
Wang Mo said slowly, "As early as when I saw you at the summer festival last year, I felt that you had a strange aura beyond your age. Although what you did was very... arrogant, like the kind of peerless genius who looked down on everyone, I always insisted on my own ideas."
Ye Yilan tried hard not to roll her eyes, thinking, isn't this what precocious maturity means?
After Gu Zhuo recalled for a moment, he laughed casually and said, "I don't think I have ever had such a thing as youthfulness."
Ye Yilan was amazed when she heard this, thinking that her senior brother was so calm and unrestrained!
"I just want to use this sentence to tell you that I will regard you as the strongest opponent I have ever met in my life and will do my best, but..."
Wang Mo paused and said seriously, "It is for this reason that I really don't like your old-fashioned nature, and I don't like the fact that you deliberately give people a wrong impression of being wild. To be precise, I don't like your false attitude, so I will defeat you."
Gu Zhuo did not answer because it was unnecessary.
Ye Yilan couldn't help it, and said unhappily: "Who wants you to like him? You are not a girl. Even if you are a girl, there are many beautiful girls who like my brother. How can it be your turn?"
Wang Mo laughed in silence, nodded to her, and said, "Thank you for your advice."
The dusk has not yet faded, and the sky and the earth are not yet dark, but the light under the shade of the willows seems a little dim, giving people a trance-like feeling.
Time seems to blur here.
Gu Zhuo turned around and walked forward. When he reached the middle of the road, he was more than a hundred feet away from Wang Mo.
Ye Yilan stayed in the middle.
The little girl, nervous with anticipation, kept herself under the willow tree, waiting.
Without any words, the battle began. The first thing that caught Ye Yilan's eyes was a white light.
The white light was obviously very thin, in fact it was just a particle of light, but it instantly occupied all that she saw, just like the rising sun illuminating the entire world.
At the same time, the sound of the wind, which had never stopped before, suddenly disappeared.
Just like the moment this white light appeared, no other things could exist on the earth.
How domineering and powerful is this?
Thoughts are but a moment.
Ye Yilan only saw the white light begin to move forward, seemingly slowly drifting towards Gu Zhuo who was more than a hundred feet away, leaving behind an afterimage.
Just as she was about to turn her head to look over there, she found that her movements suddenly became slow, very slow.
Then she realized… it wasn’t that the white light was too slow, but that it was too fast, so fast that her thinking as a bystander slowed down.
When Ye Yilan realized this, the world in front of her suddenly changed beyond recognition.
A ray of light about a hundred feet long appeared straight above the long embankment.
All the darkness along the way, the fiery twilight, was completely invaded and expelled by the overflowing white light, leaving no trace.
The whole world became brighter.
The sunset is also the sun.
……
……
The old imperial city.
The supervisor felt something in his heart, turned around and looked in the direction of Changge Lake, frowned slightly, and then relaxed.
The Sky Patrol Division has never truly ranked the younger generation, but there have been relevant discussions in the cultivation world. Most people believe that below the Return to One Realm, Wang Mo is absolutely qualified to compete for the title of the strongest, just like his master who is known as the sun on earth and the number one person under the Nirvana Realm.
Why did representatives of various sects think that Wang Mo had the potential to defeat Gu Zhuo at the Cihang Temple Dharma Assembly in early winter last year?
It's not just because he is really strong, but also because his strength is too obsessive, and he almost only attacks but has no defense.
No matter how profound the magical powers that Gu Zhuo has realized are, there is ultimately a limit, and Wang Po is the one who can break through that line.
More importantly, there are more than several months from early winter to late spring, which is enough time for Wang Mo to think of a solution.
No matter what the outcome of this battle is, Gu Zhuo will surely give it his all.
Thinking of this, the supervisor laughed.
He put down what he was doing, stood up, walked to the pavilion, and watched the battle from afar.
……
……
There are many people who do the same thing as Jianzheng, such as the priests and elders from the old families in Wangjing, and Jin Cancan who has not left Wangjing yet.
The killer leader of Wuyou Mountain no longer had any flattery on his face, but was instead focused and attentive.
Standing nearby, the young killer Qiuzhi, who had met Gu Zhuo once, was very puzzled by this.
He thought, since Shanli had no intention of doing business with Gu Zhuo, why should he go to watch this battle?
What would it matter even if I saw the truth about that magical power?
Is this any good for the mountains?
Qiuzhi thought about Wuyoushan's current situation and sighed in his heart. The wound on his abdomen that had not yet healed began to ache again.
That lady is extremely cruel.
……
……
When the ray of light came in front of Gu Zhuo, it suddenly flowed to the east, west, south and north like water flowing onto the flat ground.
I don't know when, or at the very beginning, he had summoned Zhexue in front of him.
The white line met the sword without making any sound. The overflow of light was like clouds in the sky being blown away. It seemed like an ordinary thing.
Only the two warring parties know what kind of energy is contained therein. Once it pours out, the long dike protected by the formation may not collapse into ruins, but the green willows on the dike will surely turn to ashes.
"I don't want to ruin the scenery here, because thousands of years later, people will come here to reminisce about the past."
Wang Mo's voice sounded indifferently: "It's time to end this battle, right now."
Gu Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhe Xue who was suppressed by the white light with surprise, and asked: "Really?"
Wang Mo stepped forward, put down his hands, and took that step.
boom!
That was not the echo caused by his footsteps, but the strong impact brought by the white light, which finally appeared after a long period of stagnation and was no longer suppressed by the will of the two people.
A strong wind suddenly arose, the lake surface rumbled, and the willow branches fluttered wildly.
Amidst countless thunderous noises, Zhexue could not bear the burden and kept retreating backwards until his sword slid diagonally into the ground, and the light of his sword had dimmed.
After all, Zhexue is only a fifth-rank flying sword, corresponding to the Dongzhen realm, and cannot withstand too much pressure.
The white light also disappeared, turning into a firefly-like light spot, blending into the final twilight with the wind.
"Yes."
Wang Mo looked at Gu Zhuo, who was more than a hundred feet away, and gave a calm and absolute answer: "You no longer have a sword in your hand."
Gu Zhuo looked surprised and asked, "Who told you that I am a sword cultivator?"
Wang Mo ignored it and said calmly: "Maybe you are not, but the flying sword is your only means to threaten me."
After a long silence, Gu Zhuo said, "I will only say it once."
Wang Mo said seriously, "Please."
"I don't want you to fail in this boring misconception..."
Gu Zhuo said: "Because that is a waste of my time."
