Chapter 53: Gu Duxing, A Decisive Battle?
Dong Wushang was completely different from Gu Duxing. If Gu Duxing was a born swordsman, then Dong Wushang was undoubtedly a born warrior! A conqueror!
Chu Yang nodded, looking across at the other side. He could see people whispering to each other, appearing somewhat anxious. They clearly did not expect Dong Wushang to be so formidable! During this time, although Dong Wushang's reputation had soared, he was still a few years younger than Li Xiong Tu. Who could have imagined that Dong Wushang could keep Li Xiong Tu firmly at a disadvantage?
Especially the gamblers, each of them widened their eyes, nervously holding their breath.
However, a few individuals had huddled together, whispering. They were the leaders from the Gao Family, Li Family, and Tu Family. Their expressions were serious as they watched the arena.
A flash of light appeared in Chu Yang's eyes as he thought to himself: So that's it; they want to use this competition, regardless of victory or defeat, to promote an alliance among several families… This must be the true intention behind the Gao Family provoking this decisive battle...
Regardless of the outcome, Dong Wushang represented the Dong Family against the Li Family. Both families were colossal entities, and once they clashed, the conflicts would only escalate. In this situation, having a powerful ally would surely be a timely help!
On the other side, Jun Xizhu, wearing a black veil, sighed softly, saying, "Li Xiong Tu has lost." Beside her, Young Master Wei stood with his hands behind his back, watching the arena intently and slowly nodded, saying, "But both of these individuals have great potential."
Jun Xizhu thought for a moment and said, "Dong Wushang should be stronger." Young Master Wei replied, "Li Xiong Tu simply made a strategic error. If he were to face Dong Wushang again, he might not lose."
"But Dong Wushang is five years younger than Li Xiong Tu," Jun Xizhu noted. "You are only focusing on combat strength and have not considered this essential aspect. Moreover… you must pay attention to one point: Dong Wushang only started to rapidly improve after encountering Chu Yang! This means it took him just a little over a year to go from far weaker than Li Xiong Tu to being able to defeat him."
"This is crucial," Jun Xizhu sighed. "I suddenly have great interest in that Chu King of Hell."
Young Master Wei nodded lightly, saying, "He really is a peculiar person. Moreover, his potential is terrifyingly great." Jun Xizhu's eyes lit up. "Terrifying?" After contemplating for a moment, she said, "Would you go and take a look?"
Young Master Wei replied, "Sure." Suddenly, his figure twisted, and he disappeared from Jun Xizhu's side.
Jun Xizhu's gaze flickered; she softly muttered, "Little Wei's Shadow of the Other Shore technique has improved significantly? Has he been stimulated to advance again?" Jun Luolu smiled slightly, a proud glint shining in her eyes.
When Young Master Wei arrived beside Chu Yang, he saw Mo Qingwu happily sitting in Chu Yang's embrace, peeling an orange, stuffing one segment into Chu Yang's mouth while putting another into her own, her cheeks puffed out as she sweetly asked, "Sweet, isn’t it?"
Chu Yang let out a satisfied sound, saying, "It’s too sweet. With Xiao Wu's touch, it truly is sweeter."
"Hehe..." Mo Qingwu smiled in satisfaction, "Then have another piece, sweet to death."
She tore off another piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
As Chu Yang chewed the orange, listening to the "sweet or not" banter, suddenly a name floated to the forefront of his mind: Little Sweet...
He couldn't help but let out a gentle sigh...
The space beside him twisted, and Young Master Wei appeared next to him, saying, "How carefree."
Chu Yang snorted, "Have you recovered?" Young Master Wei grunted, sitting in the spot Mo Qingwu had vacated, saying, "Your injury healed quite fast too."
"Likewise," Chu Yang blinked.
A cacophony of clashing metal filled the arena; Dong Wushang's booming voice grew more powerful, while Li Xiong Tu roared, desperately counterattacking.
