Indeed, when Gu Duxing spoke these words, a few people showed hesitation on their faces, evidently recalling what Tu Qianhao had said.
The old man with the unruly beard's eyes flickered, and he shouted, "Even if the young master has given instructions, I will still kill this bastard and avenge the young master! The young master cannot die in vain!"
As soon as he yelled, five or six others immediately joined in, clamoring, "Yes, the young master cannot die in vain! Now that the young master is dead, if we do not kill the murderer Gu Duxing, how can we face our family again? We might as well die here together!"
With their uproar, the atmosphere became tense once more.
Gu Duxing sighed deeply, drew his sword with a swift motion, and said, "Brother Tu, your heroic spirit is not far; let me rid the world of this evil servant for you!"
In Tu Qianhao's eyes, there remained a hollow, desolate look; however, the sarcasm within seemed even more pronounced. Gu Duxing understood that since Tu Qianhao had shared his final insights with him, he certainly would not wish for his own death! Moreover, there must have been arrangements made prior to this!
Although Gu Duxing did not know what those arrangements were, they must be related to him and definitely not against him!
Thus, if Tu Qianhao were alive, he would undoubtedly not allow these obvious troublemakers to act with impunity! Given Tu Qianhao's strong personality, he would have certainly slain them all!
Now, although Tu Qianhao was dead, Gu Duxing was still here!
Tu Qianhao, at the moment of your death, I, Gu Duxing, have recognized you as my friend!
Even though we have always been adversaries, that does not prevent me from acknowledging you as a friend! I know your habits, understand your character, and know that if you were still alive at this moment, you would know what to do.
I will do it for you!
Gu Duxing's body moved like a spear as he murmured, "Brother Tu, I see the desolation in your eyes and your loneliness! Now, I will combine my lone sword technique with your emotionless sword technique; shall we join forces to eliminate these defeated scum?"
Before his words fell, there was a sound of a golden blade slicing through the air behind him: a trace of anger flickered across Gu Duxing's cold face as he straightened his body and silently thrust his long sword out from under his arm!
Silent yet as fast as lightning!
At that moment, his demeanor was as if he stood in the peak of solitude, exuding a chilling air of superiority.
This was the lone sword technique that Gu Duxing had comprehended during this time!
With one sword strike, the world feels lonely!
The sword emperor's signature technique!
Gu Duxing murmured, "Tu Qianhao, do you see this? This is the lone sword!"
With a 'thud,' a throne expert behind him was pierced through the heart by the sword, swaying twice before collapsing to the ground!
Gu Duxing's strike, without looking back, had pierced directly into his heart; with a retraction, a living life was already reduced to nothingness!
As the wind picked up, Gu Duxing leaned back, lightly flipping into the air and longingly proclaimed, "One sword sweeping towards the peak!"
Immediately, his body turned, and with a melancholic solitude on his face, he struck out with another sword, softly stating, "Life and death, victory and defeat, all turn to emptiness!"
He lunged forward, amidst the fluttering of his green robe, a sense of desolation surged as he asked, "Where in the world can one find a kindred spirit?"
As he turned, dozens of afterimages were drawn, and the long sword instantly transformed into a curtain of light, softly declaring, "When wanting to look back, emotions are already forgotten!"
Clang!
Gu Duxing sheathed his long sword and casually remarked, "Brother Tu, this is my lone sword technique, the final move; half is the lone sword, and half is the emotionless sword! Please guide me!"
With a series of 'thud-thud-thud-thud' sounds, four throne experts behind Gu Duxing fell to the ground in succession, two with their throats pierced and two with swords through their chests!
