Chapter 258 The price of being number one in the world
Feng Ziyue heard his mother Chu Hongyu say that Gu Xiren was also a top master back then with unlimited future, but he was impressed by Chu Kuangren's personality charm and would rather hide in Chu Kuangren's shadow and be the one who speaks for him.
people.
He has given up his name and everything.
The ancient attacker now has a very ordinary face. Apart from being extremely pale, he has no obvious features. His eyebrows are slightly splayed, and he looks a bit old, haggard and unlucky.
He had been living in the shadow of Kuangren Chu for decades, and Feng Ziyue couldn't help but be surprised when he was suddenly here today.
"Senior Gu, are you here today just for this child?"
He was puzzled. After the ancient attacker appeared, the boy who did not even blink in the face of death suddenly showed a look of extreme fear.
Obviously, this boy should have been trained by the ancient attackers.
Moreover, his coming today did not get the consent of the ancient attackers.
Then why did he come to assassinate him?
Kuangren Chu would never do such a thing, so does this boy act on his own initiative?
The ancient attacker sighed and nodded.
"Young Master, this child is my adopted son, named Gu Ying. This time he made an independent decision and came to assassinate the Young Master. This is an unpardonable crime..."
He paused and seemed to have made a lot of determination.
"But, young master, can you spare his life because he has no intention of killing? How about cutting off his right arm as punishment?"
Gu Xiren's words sounded carefree, but there was also a slight tremor in his voice.
This child named Gu Ying seems to have a very deep relationship with him. Otherwise, Gu Xiren would never come forward to intercede with Feng Ziyue.
However, saying that Gu Ying's right arm was to be chopped off also shows that Kuangren Chu had no intention of stabbing Feng Ziyue. Gu Ying definitely acted on his own initiative, so he must at least receive this punishment.
Feng Ziyue frowned.
"Senior Gu, it's not that I'm unkind, but compared to this child's arm -"
Feng Ziyue turned to look at the pale Gu Ying. Seeing the cold sweat dripping down his forehead again, he knew that he was also afraid in his heart, but he just refused to plead out loud because of his strength.
"——I want to know even more, why is he here?"
Gu Ying is only eleven or twelve years old, and he has already mastered the assassination swordsmanship. Feng Ziyue is not afraid of him, but he also has family and friends. When encountering such a killer, he is afraid that even a master like Feng Bufan will be caught off guard.
, and may not be able to escape completely.
For the safety of his family, Feng Ziyue had just thought of eradicating the problem.
Rather than cutting off the child's right arm in a daze and forging an unbreakable hatred from then on, it would be better to know why he came to assassinate you.
Everything has a reason.
If he wasn't sent by Kuangren Chu, then who was? Or maybe he was impulsive and wanted to share his master's worries?
Feng Ziyue must figure out the reason.
Gu Xiren sighed and glanced at Gu Ying coldly.
"Now, do you understand what mistake you made?"
His voice became sharp and cold, and Gu Ying trembled all over, unable to stand, and fell to his knees with a plop, his face full of regret.
"Ying'er knows the crime! I am ashamed of my lord!"
He flipped his wrist and a short blade, only three inches long, emerged from nowhere and stabbed towards the heart without hesitation.
Feng Ziyue's face darkened, but he saw Gu Xiren stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air. Gu Ying couldn't hold the short blade in his hand and flew out, falling into Gu Xiren's hand.
The ancient attacker snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and crushed the gleaming short blade into a ball, then threw it on the ground.
"How can the matter now be solved by your death? You don't have to worry, the lord has never blamed you. The punishment is just for you to do this despicable act without permission..."
Gu Ying raised his head, with an incredible look on his face.
The ancient attacker shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Ying'er, I have raised you for ten years, but I didn't expect that you still don't understand the master's thoughts at all. If your adoptive father passes away in the future, you will not be able to inherit the position of his adoptive father. Look,
Come on, the achievements in this life are nothing more than this..."
He seemed a little uninterested, but when he mentioned Kuangren Chu, his face seemed to light up again.
"My lord is a human being, and he can tell others everything he wants. He didn't want to hide this matter at all..."
The ancient attacker turned his head and saluted Feng Ziyue respectfully.
"Young Master, how could you even guess this matter?" He pointed at Gu Ying and sighed, "This incompetent boy is here just for the sake of fairness in his mind..."
"fair?"
Feng Ziyue's heart trembled, as if he had guessed something.
This ancient shadow didn't want his own life when he made a move, but just wanted to hurt himself.
If this is the case, he is asking for fairness, which means...
"That's right, my lord is seriously injured now!"
Gu Xiren spoke frankly, but there was no expression on his face. The tone of his words seemed to be that even if Chu Kuangren was seriously injured, he was still an invincible existence.
Kuangren Chu was seriously injured?
How could Kuangren Chu be injured?
Who can hurt Kuangren Chu?
Feng Ziyue took a deep breath and immediately thought of the answer.
"He...was injured by the power of heaven and earth?"
The power of heaven and earth cannot be resisted by human beings.
Kuangren Chu's martial arts has reached this point. In the demon-sealed land of Tianwu Continent, no one is his opponent, and no one can hurt him.
He has reached the peak that this world's martial arts can accommodate, and is only one step away from breaking the void.
Unfortunately, suppressed by the Demon Suppressing Stone Monument, in the past few decades, even though Kuangren Chu was extremely talented and invincible, he could never take that step.
Not only that, the higher his martial arts, the stronger the suppression and restraint he receives.
After Feng Ziyue reached the peak of Xiantian, he was actually deeply touched.
With Madman Chu standing in front of him, the pressure he received was only one thousandth or one ten thousandth, but it was enough to make him feel frightened. It can be guessed that Madman Chu, who stood at the pinnacle of the world, was under a certain amount of pressure.
How big!
Even if he didn't do anything, it would still be extremely difficult for him to move.
However, Kuangren Chu did not do nothing.
Under the pressure of heaven and earth, he continued to improve his martial arts hard but endlessly, getting closer and closer to the end of the Shattered Void.
One day, he will definitely break the shackles of this world and set foot in the realm of breaking the void!
His strength has reached a level that makes heaven and earth feel fear!
Therefore, the stronger Chu Kuangren is, the greater the pressure he will receive; the faster he improves, the more severe the backlash he will receive.
Just like a group of people running against the wind, the person at the front is always under the greatest pressure. The faster he runs, the more power he consumes.
However, a truly strong person will eventually have to run first and withstand the pressure of the world on his own.
When he takes this last step, he will be an invincible hero!
Therefore, for Chu Kuangren, getting injured is a common occurrence.
In other words, it would be strange if one day he was not injured.
In the past, Kuangren Chu's opponents were all far behind him. What Kuangren Chu wanted was just a few shining points in their bodies. Even if he was seriously injured, dealing with them would be nothing more than a piece of cake.
But this time, it's different.
Even those around Kuangren Chu could easily see that Kuangren Chu valued Feng Ziyue as his opponent far more than before.
In other words, he regarded Feng Ziyue as a real opponent.
Because of this, the people around him became worried.
That's right - Kuangren Chu is synonymous with invincibility in their minds, but after all, he was injured so badly...
Gu Ying's young mind suddenly had the idea of unfairness.
The lord is so seriously injured and has to fight with someone else. If the other party is intact, isn't that extremely unfair?
That's why he took it upon himself to assassinate Feng Ziyue.
"So that's it..."
Feng Ziyue smiled bitterly, never expecting that this child's idea of assassination came from such a paranoid idea.
He was so frightened just now, maybe it was not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid that Kuangren Chu's injury would be revealed to him.
However, Gu Xiren also explained that Kuangren Chu was honest and did not care about this matter at all.
He didn't want to cover up his injuries to prevent his opponent's momentum from growing; nor did he want to use his injuries in exchange for his opponent's mercy.
For Chu Kuangren, whether to be injured or not to be injured is not a problem at all.
He doesn't need to use any off-the-chart moves to deal with others. In peerless competition, he always relies on his own fists.
"This is what the Lord asked me to tell you..."
Gu Xiren sighed and turned to face Gu Ying.
"There is nothing fair in the world."
"I am injured, Feng Ziyue is not injured, this may be unfair; however, I have been in Xiantian for more than fifty years, and he is only seventeen years old this year, this is also unfair."
"The so-called strong person is the person who ignores all fairness and unfairness and wins in the end."
"Do you understand?"
When Gu Xiren relayed Kuangren Chu's words, his expression and demeanor were suddenly very different.
This sentence, in addition to being spoken to Gu Ying, is also meant to be spoken to Feng Ziyue.
Feng Ziyue believed that Kuangren Chu definitely did not say such words, but he did want to say these words.
The cold and proud Kuangren Chu didn't need to say these words. Gu Xiren was completely able to understand his thoughts and help him express them.
There is no fairness in the world.
Feng Ziyue has long understood this truth.
Instead of worrying about fairness and unfairness, it is better to think about how to win even in unfair situations!
"I understand!"
There was a stubborn look on Gu Ying's little face. He turned around and kowtowed to Feng Ziyue respectfully.
"Young Master, I have committed an unforgivable crime. I have failed my lord's high hopes and insulted this peak battle. I beg you, Young Master, to grant me a death!"
His face was pale, but it was not because he was afraid of death, but because he was sincerely repentant.
I don't know how Kuangren Chu trained such a child. Feng Ziyue couldn't help but sigh softly, quite impressed.
He turned his head and saw that there was still a trace of unbearable color in Gu Xiren's eyes, and his heart moved.
Feng Ziyue knew that if he insisted on the death of this ancient shadow, he would certainly die. Gu Xiren had already begged for him and would never speak again. Chu Kuangren had already given him the power to deal with the child.
, whether to kill or release, it all lies in Feng Ziyue's hands.
But Gu Xiren is the child's adoptive father after all, and this feeling cannot be easily erased.
Feng Ziyue shook his hand, "That's it! You were confused for a moment. If I don't kill you, just leave!"
Gu Ying was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but raise his head. He first looked at Feng Ziyue, then turned to look at Gu Xiren, but he didn't know what to do.
The education he received since childhood was all about life and death. Speaking of which, he didn't have much fear about death.
However, he doesn't know much about forgiveness.
In his opinion, even if Feng Ziyue wanted to spare his life for Gu Xiren's sake, he would at least cut off one of his arms as punishment as Gu Xiren said just now.
Feng Ziyue didn't do anything and just let him go, which made Gu Ying confused and extremely puzzled.
Gu Xiren chuckled lightly and clapped his hands.
"Sure enough, my lord is right. Young Master, you have reached the top. Unfortunately, you are just too kind - you will not be my lord's opponent after all!"
Under heaven and earth, the weak will prevail against the strong, and those who can reach the top of the world will never be kind and good people.
In Chu Kuangren's view, this is Feng Ziyue's only weakness!
Talking about kindness and talking about emotions are all bullshit. Only by being completely ruthless can you be invincible!
Feng Ziyue was not surprised at all when he heard Gu Xiren say this.
He also already knew that this was the peak of Madman Chu.
For the sake of martial arts realm, he can do anything and doesn't care about anything.
Relatives, friends, and subordinates, even if they are meaningful to him, their significance is far from being comparable to martial arts.
It's not that he doesn't care about his daughter and granddaughter. When Feng Ziyue met Chu Kuangren for the first time, he even went to great lengths to recruit the branches and leaves of the Holy White Xanthium fruit to make elixirs, and also took some jade seeds.
Give it to Xueer to practice.
But for him, it was just a piece of cake.
If his daughter and granddaughter block his path to martial arts, he will kill them without hesitation.
Just like in the previous life, he killed his daughter to stimulate Feng Bufan.
In this life, in order to make Feng Ziyue advance rapidly, he also threatened his most valued family members.
If Feng Ziyue didn't fight with him, I'm afraid he would really kill everyone in the Feng family.
However, this is not the path that Feng Ziyue insists on.
His eyes shone brightly, and he looked at the ancient attacker quietly, with a proud smile on his face.
"The way of Madman Chu is indeed the pinnacle way in the world——"
Being ruthless, abandoning worries, and being obsessed with martial arts can indeed make a person reach the pinnacle of the world.
"But my way can make all impossible things possible for me, just like-"
“Beyond the top!”
Kuangren Chu is the pinnacle of this world, no one can beat him.
But for Feng Ziyue, what he wants is not to be at the same peak, but to make the impossible possible.
Beyond the peak!
Defeat the invincible madman Chu!
For the family behind him and his sword, he will definitely achieve the impossible!
Snap! Snap!
In the distance, there was a crisp sound of applause.
The ancient attacker turned his face, showing respect, and bowed slightly.
"What the young master said is quite mysterious, and the lord highly appreciates it."
"The moonlight is quite beautiful tonight. I wonder if the young master would like to have a few drinks with the lord under this thousand-foot peak?"
