“Especially upon learning that you have already become an emperor——” Tu Qianhao let out a desolate laugh!
“Ha! At that moment, I suddenly felt utterly disheartened! Back then, I said, I will go kill Gu Duxing, and the Dark Demon said he is already a sword emperor. What rank is your throne?”
As he spoke these words, he imitated the tone of the Young Dark Demon, that eerie and mocking tone, perfectly. It was apparent how much impact those words had on him at the time!
“At that moment, I thought, I can’t catch up to you, I can’t kill you! But if I am killed by you, dying at your hands, that should be acceptable, right?”
Tu Qianhao scoffed: “Though I, Tu Qianhao, may die, I am still a thousand times better than those bastards who only speak ill behind people's backs and do not dare face their enemies directly!”
“A ten thousand times more proud!”
Tu Qianhao roared.
This exclamation was clearly too loud, his emotions were agitated, causing a strong fluctuation, and the sword injury on his chest actually spewed out blood.
Gu Duxing's expression changed, and with fingers like knives, he pointed at his heart twice to stop the bleeding.
Tu Qianhao's face turned as pale as gold paper, and he forced a warm smile: “Don't bother. I came today to seek death! Did you really think that I, a king level seven rank, could defeat a sword emperor?”
Gu Duxing sighed helplessly and said sadly: “You could have lived.”
Tu Qianhao smiled freely and suddenly said: “But now I have boundless confidence. If I have the chance to fight you again next time, I might not necessarily lose!”
“Because at the moment of death, I suddenly understood my own sword path, my own sword emperor enlightenment!”
Tu Qianhao's expression grew serious, filled with pride, he gasped and said: “If I can survive today, I will become a sword emperor!”
Gu Duxing frowned, looking worriedly at his increasingly pale face.
Tu Qianhao coughed awkwardly, a strange self-deprecating smile forming: “Do you know when my enlightenment came?”
“When?”
Gu Duxing couldn’t help but ask.
“When your sword tip pierced my heart, that boundless feeling of death suddenly surged. But at that moment, I comprehended my own sword path,” Tu Qianhao smiled brightly: “The sword tip pierced my heart, and I actually broke through at that moment... Hahaha... How incredibly funny! How incredibly funny! How incredibly funny!”
Gu Duxing was utterly speechless!
He didn’t know what to say.
The enemy’s sword tip piercing one’s heart, breaking through at that moment, this kind of encounter would leave anyone who heard it speechless.
“Turns out, it is only at the brink of life and death that the greatest breakthroughs occur; this saying isn’t just empty words.”
After Tu Qianhao finished laughing, he sighed sadly and murmured: “I remember that senior once said: The breath of death is the precursor to breakthrough. I never understood it, but today, I finally do… Heh…”
He murmured, lost in thought, smiled suddenly, turned his head, and looked at Gu Duxing intensely, saying: “Gu Duxing, though I may die, my sword path cannot be wasted! I beg you, help me with one thing.”
“What is it?”
Gu Duxing vaguely already guessed.
“Only you can understand my state of mind at that time, so I will share my sword path with you.”
Tu Qianhao's pupils suddenly dilated, revealing a kind of fervent expression: “Gu Duxing, I hope my sword path can be renowned throughout the world! Shake the Nine Heavens! I beg you to help me!”
“Me?”
Gu Duxing had already guessed this but when Tu Qianhao said it out loud, he still felt a tremor throughout his body!
“I can call over your family’s experts; you can teach them.”
Gu Duxing said indifferently.
“No!”
Tu Qianhao said decisively, coldly snorting: “They are unworthy! They cannot understand! Gu Duxing, do not waste my life!”
After saying this, Tu Qianhao didn’t wait for Gu Duxing to respond and continued: “My enlightenment is called ‘Forget Emotion, forget everything, forget yourself, forget time, forget heaven, forget earth… Forget Emotion!”
