Chapter 1220 Duke Wuwei: Your achievements will surpass those of everyone I've ever met.
Drinking poison to quench thirst? Or courting disaster?
Gu Xiu noticed that what Duke Wuwei said was not whether Haoyu could destroy the twelve cities, but that even if he did destroy the twelve cities, it would only be a short-sighted solution that would lead to his own destruction.
There seems to be some secret here!
Without hesitation, Gu Xiu immediately asked, "Could you please enlighten me, senior?"
Just a pity.
Faced with Gu Xiu's question, Duke Wuwei simply smiled and said, "If you want an answer from me, you'll have to wait until you have the strength to defeat me."
"otherwise."
"You can't even destroy Wuwei City, let alone anything else?"
After saying this, Duke Wuwei charged forward again.
This time, however, he did not fight empty-handed. In his hand appeared a halberd that was also covered in golden light, and as soon as it appeared, he slashed down at Gu Xiu's face.
This halberd strike wasn't particularly powerful, and was even somewhat unremarkable. Yet, even before it landed, Gu Xiu felt as if his body, soul, and everything else were about to be crushed by an irresistible mountain.
This is... momentum!
Gu Xiu's eyelids twitched wildly. Without any hesitation, his light flashed beneath his feet, and he instantly moved to the side.
But before he could move, Duke Wuwei reacted just as quickly, his halberd, which had been cleaving down with force, suddenly changed to a sweeping motion, and the momentum of a giant mountain crashing down came crashing down again. Gu Xiu once again took a step forward, and his whole body appeared above him.
But Duke Wuwei seemed to have already sensed it. He took half a step forward, and the halberd that had been sweeping across him went downwards, while the shaft of the halberd also thrust upwards. The mountain-like power followed closely, arriving in an instant.
It seemed that he wouldn't give Gu Xiu any chance to breathe unless he killed him on the spot.
Gu Xiu understood that his opponent wanted to test his sword intent. Constantly dodging would only lead to him gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.
Gu Xiu stopped retreating and the Immortal Crossing Sword appeared instantly, its tip pointing downwards.
"Ding!"
With a clear, crisp sound, the tip of the Immortal Crossing Sword deflected the opponent's halberd shaft, using the force of deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces of force to push that mountain-like power upwards a bit.
Seeing that his move had been broken, Duke Wuwei finally stopped pursuing and immediately took a step back. He then swept his halberd horizontally. If Gu Xiu had continued to pursue, he would have been cleaved in two.
Fortunately, Gu Xiu did not pursue, and also took a step back.
Look serious.
He had already determined that the Lord of Wuwei City was no weakling.
But now that they've fought, he realizes that his opponent's strength is not just not weak, it's breathtakingly powerful. Especially the opponent's use of the halberd, which gives him the feeling of facing a sword saint wielding a sword.
In contrast to Gu Xiu's nervousness, Duke Wuwei was extremely serious: "It seems you have also grasped the essence of power, and you are free and unpredictable, your comprehension is frightening."
"If you hadn't deliberately held back, I'm afraid I would already be beheaded," Gu Xiu replied.
This isn't flattery, it's the truth.
Just now, it seemed that he had the upper hand, but Gu Xiu could also see that although his opponent did not use divine abilities, his physical strength was stronger and his understanding of "momentum" was also superior to his.
If the other party intends to kill him.
There is absolutely no way he could have blocked it with just his physical body and the Immortal Crossing Sword.
Duke Wuwei, however, had a serious expression and shook his head, saying:
“I can see that you are still young and your cultivation is not very high. You haven’t even reached the Void Refinement stage in the spiritual energy path. Yet, at this level and at this age, you have reached the Sword Heart Clarity stage. This can already be called unparalleled in the way of the sword.”
"And you have already taken a half-step into the realm of 'Power'. Such talent is unheard of and unseen. Don't underestimate yourself. If we could give you a few more steps to advance your cultivation, and give you some more time..."
"Your achievements will surpass those of anyone I have ever met."
"Moreover, it's much, much higher."
Duke Wuwei's high praise for Gu Xiu drew sidelong glances from Li Changgong above and Fei Boyuan, who was working on deciphering the Ghost Craft Ball.
Momentum!
Half a step into the realm of power!
The so-called "momentum" is something that can only be reached by using weapons to a certain limit.
For example, many people know about the realms of swordsmanship, such as the initial emergence of sword intent, the clarity of the sword heart, the resonance of the sword heart, the selflessness of the sword path, and the enlightenment of the sword heart. Gu Xiu has reached the realm of the enlightenment of the sword heart. The sword in his hand is his own path, or rather, the sword heart is the heart of the path, and the heart of the path is his true self.
But in reality, this is not the limit.
Going further up, one needs to come into contact with something entirely new: "momentum." One must use one's own way to completely influence heaven and earth, and borrow the momentum of heaven and earth.
Each sword strike, even without using cultivation, can draw upon the power of heaven and earth!
Gu Xiu's talent in swordsmanship is unparalleled, and he was even praised by the Sword Saint as having the potential to become a sword immortal. This is because he had already reached the realm of selflessness in swordsmanship five hundred years ago. After his battle with the Sword Saint, Gu Xiu touched upon the realm of sword heart enlightenment. The subsequent five hundred years of training in the forbidden area allowed Gu Xiu to completely step into the realm of sword heart enlightenment.
After returning, Gu Xiu resumed his cultivation, reaffirmed his Dao Heart of Following the Wind, and began to slowly break through in the direction of "momentum".
But "momentum" requires a lot of accumulation.
This cannot be achieved through sudden enlightenment.
It requires sufficient self-cultivation to enable one to see further and experience more, and it also requires one to undergo countless years of refinement and accumulate a wealth of life experiences and insights before one has even a sliver of opportunity to take that step.
Moreover, once you reach a certain level, no outsider can help you. Even if the Sword Saint tells Gu Xiu all his insights or something else, it won't help Gu Xiu reach a higher level.
But now that Gu Xiu has stepped halfway into the realm of "power," given his cultivation level and age, Duke Wuwei can't help but be shocked.
"Since you have already taken a half-step towards the realm of power..."
Duke Wuwei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although you are a person of Haoyu, in principle I should capture or kill you. But your talent is indeed outstanding, and I cannot bear to see the human race's desire for destruction. You may leave on your own, and I will not stop you."
As soon as these words came out.
Li Changgong and Fei Boyuan, who were behind them, couldn't help but widen their eyes.
To everyone's surprise, the bloodthirsty Duke of Wuwei would give Gu Xiu such a high evaluation.
How much potential does that require to achieve this?
Gu Xiu was also somewhat surprised and asked, "I thought that when you saw my talent, you would want to kill me."
What good would it do me to kill you?
"what?"
"With talent like yours, if I can't kill you, then you will surely become a formidable enemy I will find difficult to face in the future. Besides..." Duke Wuwei was quite frank, giving Gu Xiu a deep look before continuing:
"With geniuses like you, the future of humanity will not be bleak."
These words had a hidden meaning, reminding Gu Xiu of what Duke Wuwei had said earlier about drinking poison to quench thirst. Suddenly, an almost absurd thought occurred to him:
"senior."
"The humans of the Three Enclosures of Sin and the Haoyu are not enemies, are they?"
