Chapter 54: You are the one being fooled!
Gu Duxing stood up abruptly, his figure tall and straight like a sword, exuding a sharpness that pressed forward as he walked down. In an instant, a sword intent surged in the air!
However, those with high cultivation could faintly see that Gu Duxing's face was somewhat pale. It seemed he had not fully recovered from his injuries; they couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It appeared that this time... Gu Duxing was in grave danger!
Tu Qianhao's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he laughed heartily, “Brother Gu, we meet again today!”
Gu Duxing smiled faintly and said, “Indeed, for this battle, Brother Tu has prepared for a long time. I wouldn't want to disappoint you.”
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Tu Qianhao's eyes as he replied, “Brother Gu is indeed carefree; in this battle, I fear I may be unable to hold back. If I were to hurt you, I hope you can forgive me.”
Dong Wushang revealed an angry expression behind Gu Duxing and yelled, “Second brother, kill him! Kill this bastard!”
Gu Duxing nodded slightly and declared, “If I were to injure Brother Tu, I would also feel ashamed.”
Suddenly, he dashed forward like a sword thrown from its sheath!
His clothes fluttered, his gaze sharp, and every move he made radiated a fierce sword intent!
Everyone held their breath.
Tu Qianhao leapt down.
The two had been old rivals, having sparred many times over the past year. Gu Duxing had gone from being at a disadvantage to now standing toe-to-toe with Tu Qianhao. Moreover, Gu Duxing's reputation had soared, and he was now subtly on par with the recognized first young master, Ao Xieyun!
All of this had sparked a strong killing intent in Tu Qianhao's heart!
This time, taking advantage of Gu Duxing's injuries, Tu Qianhao intended to completely incapacitate him! His purpose for participating in this competition was purely Gu Duxing!
Tu Qianhao fixed his gaze on Gu Duxing across from him, noticing the pale struggle on his face, and secretly rejoiced. Mo Tianyun's intelligence was indeed accurate; this guy was truly badly injured...
On Chu Yang's side, Young Master Wei and Jun Xizhu exchanged knowing glances at the same time.
Young Master Wei laughed, “Chu King of Hell, are you planning to kill Tu Qianhao?”
Chu Yang smiled faintly, his eyes flashing with killing intent, “If he wants to take advantage of others’ misfortunes, he must be prepared for things to backfire!” Young Master Wei chuckled, “Kill him?”
Chu Yang shrugged nonchalantly, “That depends on Duxing's intentions. Killing... sometimes requires skills and techniques. For example... how to clear one's name after the act...”
At this moment, the two fighters had already drawn their swords!
Most of the gamblers who had bet heavily on a Gu Duxing victory were all excited, as if envisioning stacks of currency flying into their pockets.
On the high platform, Ao Xieyun sighed, saying, “If Gu Duxing loses due to his injuries, it would be too unfair! What a pity for this Lone Traveler.”
With his sharp and insightful mind, he could immediately see what Tu Qianhao was plotting. He frowned and asked, “Have you arranged everything for those who are prepared?”
Xie Danqiong confidently smiled, “Of course.”
“Okay, regardless of who wins or loses, we must act immediately. We need to round up those impoverished fools who have lost everything; then, the three of us will divide the spoils, and we must not let Mo Tianyun take advantage.” Ao Xieyun said.
“However, I fear the Gao Family and others are likely thinking the same thing. We might only manage to grab a part of it.” Ou Duxiao said with some frustration.
“If we all grab enough... then the three of us might be wiped out by tomorrow.” Ao Xieyun chuckled lightly. “One must always maintain a balance.”
The two nodded lightly and laughed, “The gambling war this time has indeed formed a small alliance; but they did not expect that they also facilitated an allied opponent. Moreover... our three families will advance and retreat together on this matter, having a shared interest.”
