Chapter 1097 Sword Saint: Go, I'll handle everything.
"Wha...what???"
"Is the Sword Saint... is he backing down?"
"Could it be that the arrival of the five supreme beings has put pressure on the Sword Saint, making him hesitant to risk his life to protect Gu Xiu?"
"How is that possible? This is the number one person in the vast universe, and also a Tribulation-Attracting Supreme. Such an existence is least afraid of fighting against multiple opponents. Even if his strength is not enough to easily kill these five Supremes, he shouldn't be retreating like this, right?"
"Rumor has it that the Three Enclosures Sea of Calamity has been created, and the Sword Saint senior emerged from seclusion and entered the Eternal Cliff to suppress the Purple Star Enclosure within. He has already expended a great deal of energy and even suffered serious injuries. Could the rumors be true?"
"The Sword Saint has backed down, and has even given up on Gu Xiu. Gu Xiu probably can't hide anymore this time."
"What if it's because the Sword Saint is extremely confident?"
"..."
The old swordsman's words immediately caused a great uproar. Although no one dared to speak loudly, they were all exchanging ideas in private, speculating about what kind of information was hidden in the old swordsman's concession.
Yes, we yielded.
As the number one person in the vast universe, the old sword saint was never a kind and gentle person. On the contrary, this old sword saint was actually exceptionally powerful in many ways. Whether it was traveling to the Western Buddhist sect or intimidating the Central Plains, there were quite a few supreme beings who died under his sword.
Based on everyone's speculation about his personality, if he really thought highly of Gu Xiu, he would definitely refuse the test for Gu Xiu's sake.
At worst, we'll just have a fight.
This means that the only way for the five supreme beings is to rely on the power of all the sects in the world, using the prestige of the Tianyuan Sword Sect as a starting point, so that the Sword Saint will have to give up Gu Xiu for the sake of the Tianyuan Sword Sect and his own reputation.
This was actually the idea of Zen Master Wugou and others.
But before they could even use any of the methods they had prepared, the old sword saint readily agreed.
What is this if not a concession?
"It seems that you truly deserve the title of a great hero. Even if you are a junior whom you think highly of, you will not hesitate to sacrifice your own family for the greater good after standing on the opposite side of Haoyu. This is truly admirable," said the Apocalypse God Lord with a smile.
Ding Luoying also smiled and said, "Senior has devoted himself to Haoyu. The Immortal of Annihilation and Haoyu are like fire and water. How to choose is something Senior can naturally distinguish."
“Actually, that’s not the case. What kind of status does the Sword Saint have, and what kind of status does Gu Xiu have? Although the senior was willing to take care of and guide him because he saw his talent, it doesn’t mean that this kid is that important. The senior’s actions are just normal.” Yuan Hua Supreme Huang Chao also spoke up at this moment.
The three of them spoke one after another, seemingly praising each other, but there was a hint of sarcasm in their words.
This made many people frown slightly.
Even Lü Dongshan couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to retort, but before he could speak, the Sword Saint spoke first:
"You guys are too noisy."
"I asked you to come and help me, not to chatter on. If you don't want to stay here, you can leave now. Or, do you want to attack me?"
Is it because you don't want to?
Upon hearing this, the five supreme beings blushed deeply, yet dared not utter a word of anger.
Seeing that the three of them had shut up, the old sword saint turned to look at Gu Xiu in black robes: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up."
He seemed certain that Gu Xiu couldn't possibly have any problems.
Faced with his urging, Gu Xiu in black robes felt somewhat uncertain.
He knew his own situation best. In his own realm, he cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and easily reached an extremely high level.
Although he didn't know if it was due to memory issues, many details about his past life were unclear, even the processes of the Lighting Tribulation and the Questioning Tribulation were vague, but he did remember that he had never experienced the seven emotions of love. And through the memories within this inner demon's body, it was clear that this inner demon had also never experienced the seven emotions of love.
This means that if I were to undergo the Seven Emotions Buddha Lamp test, I would likely be exposed immediately.
"It seems I still need to find a chance to run away."
"I'll find a place to hide and cultivate for three to five hundred years before coming out. Then I'll kill everyone who offended me today and become a so-called world-destroying demon. That doesn't seem like a bad idea?"
"There's something strange about this old swordsman. With my discerning eye, I can't see through his abilities. Shouldn't his strength still be in this vast universe?"
"..."
A multitude of thoughts raced through his mind, and Gu Xiu, clad in black, had already made his decision.
The only thing he was unwilling to accept was that he hadn't had a chance to use the Sword Cleansing Pool on the Sword Enlightenment Platform. Otherwise, it would have been better to use the power of the Sword Cleansing Pool to completely eliminate his inner demons.
just.
Just as Gu Xiu in black robes had already planned his escape, the Sword Saint's voice came from the depths of his heart:
"Kid, don't even think about running away. There are only five Supremes standing here, but there are many more arrangements outside the Tianyuan Sword Sect. No matter how many tricks you have, you can't just slip away in front of everyone like this."
what?
Gu Xiu, dressed in black, felt a sudden jolt in his heart, but then he realized that the old sword saint had clearly seen through these problems, so he must have made some arrangements.
Sure enough, the other person's voice came from the depths of my heart again: "Just go and take the test, I'll take care of everything."
This……
Gu Xiu, dressed in black, was somewhat surprised.
He glanced at the old swordsman, only to see that the other man remained calm and even nodded at him when he sensed his gaze.
Is this old man trying to help me cheat?
Or are you planning to protect me even if the test shows I have a problem?
We met five hundred years ago, and although I received his guidance, we didn't seem to have such a good relationship.
Another point is that, speaking of memories from 500 years ago, I always feel that they are somewhat blurry, and I can't remember many details clearly.
Gu Xiu, dressed in black, was somewhat puzzled. Given his personality, he didn't actually want to follow the old sword saint's arrangements, but he had to admit that his current strength was not enough. With the five supreme beings joining forces, even someone as strong as him could only temporarily avoid their attacks.
That being the case...
Let's trust this old man this once!
Just then, several people in the crowd started talking, discussing whether Gu Xiu was the World-Destroying Immortal. Moreover, these people kept intentionally or unintentionally steer the conversation toward the topic of the World-Destroying Immortal, suggesting that they must find a way to kill him or at least control him.
What kind of temper does Gu Xiu in black robes have?
He dared to directly curse the five supreme beings. Although he couldn't beat them, it didn't stop him from spouting nonsense. How much less could he tolerate a few cowardly individuals hiding in the shadows stirring up trouble?
He simply rushed out, grabbed someone, and slapped them several times.
That person was naturally dissatisfied.
But Gu Xiu in black robes wouldn't tolerate it. If someone was dissatisfied, he would beat them until they submitted. If anyone nearby voiced any dissent, he would immediately grab them and give them a good beating. Only when no one else was causing trouble did Gu Xiu in black robes finally feel relieved.
Monk Jingyan found an opportunity: "Gu Xiu, stop wasting your time. If you don't dare to take the test, doesn't that mean you have something to hide?"
"A ghost?" Gu Xiu, dressed in black, grinned.
Stared at by him, Monk Jingyan subconsciously shrank back, but remembering that Zen Master Wugou was right next to him, he became bold again: "Gu Xiu, with the Sword Saint in front of us, you cannot be presumptuous. If you have nothing to hide, why don't you dare to test me?"
"Who told you I wouldn't dare? I'm just too lazy to test it." Gu Xiu shook his head, and before Jing Yan could speak, he said again, "Of course, if you can still make a bet with me like before, I think I'll be very interested."
Bet...
Monk Jingyan subconsciously glanced at the bronze bowl held by Wugou, and then anger appeared on his face. Gu Xiu had already taken away his robe of salvation and his wooden fish of merit, and now this hateful person was still not satisfied.
“What Benefactor Gu says is indeed reasonable. If our Buddhist sect has made a mistake and slandered you, we should indeed give you some compensation.” Master Wugou was quite generous, casually waving his hand, and the bronze bowl in his hand instantly flew out, hovering high above:
"This item was once used by the Buddha and is called the Muni Boundary-Sealing Bowl. It has the ability to seal space. If you, Benefactor Gu, can pass the test and confirm that our Buddhist sect has made a mistake, then what harm is there in giving this item to you as compensation?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiu in black robes immediately brightened up.
He had only used this thing a few times before. Although it was later broken by the Sword Saint, he had seen its power firsthand. As long as one's cultivation was sufficient, even a Supreme Being would not be able to break it. He had long been extremely envious of it.
"Then I'll gladly accept it." Since the other party had already offered their bargaining chips, Gu Xiu in black robes didn't hesitate any longer and grabbed at the Buddhist divine fire.
He was certain that the old swordsman would help him.
That's equivalent to...
This item should rightfully belong to him!
only……
The moment his hands touched the Buddhist divine fire, the confidence on Gu Xiu's face vanished instantly.
Because he saw it.
The Sword Saint didn't move!
The Buddhist divine fire swept over his entire body in an instant, not even sparing his soul and consciousness, trying to strip him clean!
Oops!
Is this old man lying to me?
