Chapter 91: Grudges in the Heart, Gratitude in the Heart
This battle lasted less than half a moment. No, it didn’t even last a third of that time! But the peril of this fight was the most dangerous one that Chu Yang and his brothers had faced since their debut!
It was also a battle where each of them truly exerted all their strength!
Each person had danced on the edge of death countless times, but fortunately, we won!
“We won!” Gu Duxing sat up from the ground, his face smeared with blood, revealing a brilliant smile.
“Won?” Dong Wushang, Rocky Luo, and the others were in disbelief, as if they were dreaming! They still couldn’t believe those words.
Although this battle was a sneak attack, although it was a conspiracy, it was still a case of fighting a few against many, and the two leaders on the opposing side were genuine imperial level experts!
All of them felt a dull pain in their chests, haunted by the terrifying sensation of being on the brink of death from the shock of the imperial level attack, while the enemy had already turned to ashes!
It felt surreal, like a dream!
Dong Wushang’s heavy Ink Blade was stabbed straight into the ground, emanating a cold, majestic aura.
The members of the Ou Family were gradually turning into pools of blood, rotting away in this fog-filled Yin Wind Forest. Gu Duxing and the others slowly stood up, looking at the human tragedy they had just created, collectively silent, only their heavy breathing echoed in the air.
“This is just the beginning. In the future, more and more strong warriors will fall because they have offended us!” Once Chu Yang’s excited emotions calmed down a bit, he said lightly.
“Today we killed five imperial level experts; but we also faced a life-and-death situation! If it weren’t for the conspiracy, at this moment, our brothers would have died ten times over!” Chu Yang stood up, his sharp gaze sweeping over each brother's face, slowly extending a hand that gradually clenched into a fist, his eyes fixed on his own fist.
He slowly and solemnly said, “But... one day, we will make such imperial level experts... perish at our hands!”
The last four words were spoken very slowly but were filled with immense confidence!
The brothers looked at Chu Yang’s tightened fist as it slowly opened, then suddenly flipped over and pressed down, causing their hearts to race violently!
It felt as if that slap truly crushed the imperial level experts into dust!
“It’s that easy.” Chu Yang turned around and smiled brightly, his white teeth glistening in the mist.
Everyone watched him quietly, their eyes shining, but none spoke a word.
After a long while, Gu Duxing slowly turned and looked at the six imperial level subordinates of the Gu Family, saying, “I wish to follow Boss Chu and join the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion; to fight our way to the Nine Heavens! Are you willing to follow?”
The six exchanged glances. The leading imperial level expert, Gu Qingfeng, stepped forward and solemnly said, “We brothers may not have mastered our skills, and progress in this life may be difficult! It’s rare for the young patriarch to have such ambition, and we are willing to spare no effort, to assist the young patriarch in fulfilling this wish! We will follow you, no matter where you lead!”
He smiled somewhat bleakly, looking at the corpse of his brother lying in a pool of blood, and said in a low voice, “A broken jar cannot avoid breaking at the well, and generals are bound to fall in battle! We martial artists live and die with every step, and we have long looked past it. The only thing we cannot let go of is the precarious state of our Gu Family…”
“If the young patriarch can rise to the Nine Heavens, then... even if it does not represent the Gu Family, at least there will be someone with the surname Gu in the Nine Heavens! My brothers, we would die without regret!”
Gu Duxing took a deep breath, feeling his eyes warm, and said, “As the young patriarch of the Gu Family, I am naturally a member of the Gu Family! If that day really comes... then, above the Nine Heavens Pavilion, there must be the name of the Gu Family!”
