Two days before the duel.
Almost everyone had their eyes on this fight.
The inns in Funing County had long filled up, countless jianghu people had flooded into this obscure town, it resembled the ti that preceded Shen Qiao and Kunyes fight.
The difference was, back then although Shen Qiao had a large reputation, it was not on account of his martial prowess, his fight with Kunye attracted attention because on so level, it represented the continuation of Qi Fengge and Hulugus legacies, people looked to them to see a shadow of the two grandmasters of yore.
This fight between Yan Wushi and Hulugu, many people saw it as the face-off between the central plains wulin and the Tujue.
The Buddhist, Daoist, Ru sects, along with various other major and minor sects, of the people who had heard the news, eight or nine tis out of ten they had rushed over.
Rumour has it that one inn was completely rented out by Linchuanxuegong, even their sect leader Ruyan Kehui was here personally, prepared to witness this fight with his own eyes.
Tiantai Sect Fayi-chanshi, Qingchengshan Chunyangguan Yi Bichen, Xuandu Purple Pavillion, Fajing Sect, Liuligong, Bixia Sect, even the faraway Tuyuhun Jushe-zhizheall of these people, were either here personally, or sent a disciple as a delegate, clearly not willing to miss out on this once-in-a-thousand-years showdown.
There was ten thousand pairs of eyes!
It was going to be more brilliant than the fight between Shen Qiao and Kunye!
At the sa ti that it drew the worlds eyes, it also signified the peril of a large spectacle.
Win, then you were peerless under the heavens.
Lose, then you descended into the abyss.
This was not rely a martial arts confrontation, but also a confrontation of reputation and of life. No one was nave enough to believe that the two of them would stop after a friendly scrimmage, twenty years ago Qi Fengge and Hulugus fight, Hulugu had been seriously injured, almost dead, only then did he undertake the twenty year vow to not return to the central plains, wandering the outskirts in seclusion, Qi Fengge was not much better off many people believed that it was because of the severity of the injuries sustained in this fight, that he developed a chronic condition, leading to Qi-zhengrens later death, this was rely a rumour, no one had any evidence.
Nevertheless, for many run-of-the-mill jianghu people, who were unlikely to ever catch a glimpse of the pinnacle of the cultivation world, to be able to be present here, even if they were unable to ascend the steep Yinghui Peak, and could only sit waiting in Funing County, it was still the most marvellous chance of a lifeti.
I heard that the biggest gambling house in Funing Couty has opened up this round, accepting bets for the outco in zongzhu and Hulugus fight. The one speaking was the head manager of the residence, he was currently respectfully relaying his report to Yan Wushi.
Yu Shengyan had not dared to make an appearance in front of Yan Wushi these past few days, who knows where hed run off to.
Although they were in a countryside residence, they were not cut off from the news, just the opposite, the head manager would send soone to get the most recent news everyday, the most recent sect to arrive in the county, where they were staying, where Linchuanxuegongs people went today, etc., all of it would make its way back here.
As one of the parties in the face-off, Yan Wushi was way more idle and settled than anyone could imagine.
Currently he held a piece of walnut shell that had been broken apart by the maidservant and threw it at the small deer: A-Qiao, co here.
The small deer was snuggling against Shen Qiao coyly, lowering its head to drink water from his cup, but was struck by a piece of walnut shell, it didnt make a fuss, continued to drink its water like a well-mannered soone.
Shen Qiao couldnt keep watching however, the deer had a na that was identical to his, clearly this was not done with good intention, the deer was well-behaved, not troubling anyone, but soone kept on bullying and teasing it.
Another walnut shell was thrown, this ti it didnt hit the deers head, it was intercepted mid-flight by a leaf, made tangent with the head managers ear, then embedded itself in the pillar behind him.
The head manager broke out into a cold sweat.
Shen Qiao, apologetic: Sorry, I hope I didnt scare you?
The head manager shook his head continuously, he by what virtue and what ability, could undertake an apology from this person.
Yan Wushi started laughing.
Shen Qiao really wanted to roll his eyes at him, but that would be ssing around too much, he petted the unknowing small deer, he thought, when I get a chance how about I get you a new na.
Yan Wushi asked abruptly: What are the odds?
The head manager was blank for a mont, then realized he was asking him, rushed to say: One to ten.
Shen Qiao had not gambled before, but he knew what one to ten ant, he was surprised: On whom?
Head manager: On master winning.
Shen Qiao: And if Hulugu wins?
The head manger coughed quietly: One to two.
Shen Qiao:
Yan Wushi wasnt upset, instead he smiled: Looks like they dont expect much from !
Hulugus reappearance in the central plains, his first fight had been his shocking stage entrance on Qingchengshan, first beating Yi Bichen and then Shen Qiao, two of the top ten martial artists, both grandmasters, in a turn of an eye they had lost, this martial record, was enough to stun the world.
Yan Wushi was powerful, but with Hulugu in the spotlight, he lost so of his lustre.
Moreover, Hulugu was of the sa martial generation as Qi Fengge, once your wugong surpassed a certain stage, age no longer restricted your body, establishing physical limits, in contrast it signified more experience.
Shen Qiao, blandly: When youre like this, I also dont expect much.
Yan Wushi raised an eyebrow: This venerable like what? Unless you an before the match, I should be reduced to a ss, unable to sleep or eat? Or should my eyes overflow with tears, holding onto your leg saying A-Qiao I dont want to go anymore?
Shen Qiao gave him a look, didnt say anything.
Yan Wushi tried to reassure him: I dont think theres anything to be worried about, you also shouldnt be worried, Ive entrusted Huanyue Sect to you, if worst cos to worst my skull will bust open another crack, its not like it hasnt opened before.
Shen Qiao:
Yan Wushi smiled rrily and shrugged: Another crack, maybe Xie Ling can co back, then you can whisper sweet nothings to each other again.
Shen Qiao:
He was a person of the jianghu, his wugong was also exceptional, moreover he had fought with Hulugu, naturally he understood what this fight entailed, and because he understood, he had been wracking his head these days for sothing that might help Yan Wushi, giving him a better chance in the fight.
But the path of martial practice, how easy would it be to take a shortcut? Shen Qiao had been able to reconstruct his ridians, but that had been under the condition where he had nullified his own wugong completely, although the saying goes construction is built on wreckage, if you were doing fine who would go about wrecking? Yan Wushi to be able to fix the flaw in his demonic core was already a godsend, if there was no
