Chapter 107 Sharp Contrast
This is Gu Changhuai's signature move, extremely powerful. Not only can it instantly draw the attention of people and monsters, allowing him to attack when they are off guard, but it can also unleash power beyond his original strength, delivering a fatal blow.
Sure enough, the next moment there was a roar of the giant lizard struggling in pain, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
When the light disappeared, everyone opened their eyes and gasped in shock.
The enormous, terrifying giant lizard had its head severed and lay on the ground convulsing, its blood soaking the surrounding land.
Gu Changhuai shook his sword weakly before raising his head. His white robes were splattered with blood, and he looked like a god of death.
Du Nianfu's eyes lit up with admiration, and she was the first to shout, "Senior Brother is amazing! He actually killed the giant lizard beast with a single sword strike!"
The other Wan Jian Sect disciples also came to their senses and smiled, their eyes filled with respect and admiration for Gu Changhuai.
As expected of their senior brother! As expected of the number one swordsman among the direct disciples of the cultivation world!
Ning Wanshuang stared blankly at Gu Changhuai, who stood proudly in the distance, her heart pounding and a flush appearing on her face.
She had always known that Gu Changhuai was very capable, but she never expected him to be this capable! Such a talented and outstanding young man actually had feelings for her and even risked his life to protect her; it was truly heartwarming!
However, the situation was critical at this moment, and Ning Wanshuang could no longer indulge in romantic fantasies or let her mind wander. Seeing their companion killed, the two giant lizards became even more ferocious and recklessly charged towards the sword formation.
Seeing this, Gu Changhuai immediately shouted a reminder: "Circulate all your spiritual power into the sword formation, we must not let them break the formation!"
After saying that, he leaped to Ning Wanshuang's side and cast the spell in her place, filling the last gap.
The members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect responded in unison, cooperating with each other to strengthen the power of their sword formation and confront the giant lizard beast.
In the distance, Su Luo and her friends were watching the show.
Feng Xiyue gasped, "Gu Changhuai really killed the giant lizard beast with a single sword strike! It seems his strength has improved quite a bit."
Su Luo nodded, "His strength is indeed among the top of all the direct disciples."
To be able to kill a high-level demon beast far beyond his own level—such strength truly befits the future leader of the righteous path. It's just a pity that, in both the original story and his previous life, Gu Changhuai ultimately died at the hands of the villainous final boss…
Seeing the two giant lizards recklessly trying to destroy the sword formation, disregarding their own safety, and the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect clearly struggling, Song Qiao felt a heavy weight in his heart.
After a long pause, he asked hesitantly, "Senior sister, should we...should we go help?"
"This……"
This question stumped Feng Xiyue, and she hesitated, even glancing at Su Luo unconsciously.
She was merely a pill cultivator, and Song Qiao was a sound cultivator; neither of them were skilled in combat, and their strength was inferior to Gu Changhuai's. Even if they went to help, they could only play a supporting role, and there was no guarantee they would escape unscathed! Furthermore, if they went to help the Myriad Swords Sect, Su Luo would definitely risk her life to go with them! However, this shouldn't be Su Luo's responsibility!
However, they are all direct disciples of the four major sects. If they were to stand by and watch someone die, it would be extremely unacceptable if word got out! It might even provoke the Myriad Swords Sect to target the Lingxiao Sect...
Su Luo keenly noticed Feng Xiyue's gaze, and in a flash, she guessed her concerns, and curled her lips into a smile.
“We definitely have to help them; this is an opportunity for you too. But we have to help them without sacrificing yourselves.”
The two were taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"First, assess the situation. Carefully observe the three giant lizard beasts and find their weaknesses. Then, if the Tianyi Sect disciples are truly unable to handle them, you can go and help them."
Then, Su Luo pointed to Feng Xiyue's storage bag and reminded her, "Don't forget, you have a whole sack of talismans that you can use. Take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack and win by sheer numbers. You won't need to rush in to deal with them yourselves."
Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up instantly.
"Yes! We still have so many talismans!"
"Yes, yes, that's right..."
Feng Xiyue even went so far as to suggest other ideas, "Oh right! I have some homemade pills here. If all else fails, I can just throw them over and knock these monsters unconscious!"
Su Luo: ……
So Feng Xiyue is completely using her elixirs as biological weapons! Absolutely brilliant!
Su Luo paused, then added, "Of course, if you run out of talismans and the giant lizard beast hasn't fallen yet, I will provide support from the rear."
She wouldn't actively get involved in saving the Ten Thousand Swords Sect; at most, she would lend a hand if Feng Xiyue and the others were truly unable to defeat them.
“That’s good.” Feng Xiyue nodded. “This is a matter for the four major sects, and you shouldn’t be involved.”
"in addition……"
Su Luo cleared her throat and looked at the man and the demon beast in the distance with a deep gaze. "If you help them, you must make the people of the Myriad Swords Sect understand one thing: that you saved their lives and they owe you a favor! Even after you leave the secret realm, the people of the Myriad Swords Sect will have to give way to you because of this life-saving grace. Even their sect leader and elders will show respect to the Lingxiao Sect."
Feng Xiyue's eyes immediately lit up even more. "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"
For a long time, the Lingxiao Sect has been the weakest of the four major sects, and the other three sects have looked down on them and their masters and elders to varying degrees! If they save the disciples of the Wanjian Sect, then at least the people of the Wanjian Sect will no longer dare to underestimate them!
"Su Luo, I'll do as you say! That's how it'll be done!" With that, Feng Xiyue turned her head excitedly and stared into the distance, ready to go.
Song Qiao looked at Su Luo with admiration, smiled at her, and then turned to look in that direction, a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
Su Luo shook her head and chuckled.
Compared to the calm and composed atmosphere here, the atmosphere at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was extremely tense, having already reached a fever pitch.
Even with the sword formation protecting them, the two giant lizards kept lunging, trying to break through it. However, because the lizards' scales were too thick, they only managed to damage their skin after several attempts. Instead, the longer the battle dragged on, the more the disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect felt their spiritual energy dissipate, struggling to hold on.
Bai Xun cried out urgently, "Senior Brother, the junior brothers and sisters can't hold on much longer!"
"What should we do?!"
Gu Changhuai's face was deathly pale. That sword strike had used up almost 60% of his spiritual power, but he couldn't say it out loud, lest it shake people's spirits.
Moreover, he really didn't know what to do!
At this moment, Ning Wanshuang noticed Su Luo and the other two who were leisurely and carefree not far away, and couldn't help but speak up with envy, pointing at them.
"How about asking them for help?"
They were in dire straits, attacked by monstrous beasts, while nothing seemed to happen to them; the giant lizard didn't even glance at them! The contrast was stark! This was unfair!
The members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect finally realized what was happening and quickly looked at Su Luo and the others. They were furious at the three of them for watching the show so leisurely.
"Yes, let's ask them for help..."
"Why aren't the giant lizards attacking them? There must be something wrong!"
Bai Xun noticed it: "They set up a barrier. The barrier must have concealed their presence, so the giant lizard beast couldn't detect them."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt even more envious, jealous, and resentful.
Damn it! The mere Lingxiao Sect actually possesses such a powerful barrier; it's truly enviable!
Ning Wanshuang thought the same thing, but she assumed that Song Qiao had created the barrier. So she stared intently at Song Qiao's handsome face and pleaded softly, "Fellow Daoist of the Lingxiao Sect, please save us! We will definitely repay you afterwards!"
Song Qiao was surprised to be suddenly called on, and looked at Su Luo for help.
Su Luo gave Feng Xiyue a look, and she immediately stood up to block Song Qiao, quietly watching Ning Wanshuang with a smile, "We can help, but can your words represent everyone in the Myriad Swords Sect?"
"I……"
Ning Wanshuang subconsciously looked at Gu Changhuai, who had been watching them the whole time. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No need."
Feng Xiyue twitched the corner of her mouth.
I guessed it. Gu Changhuai would never easily lower his head and ask for help unless he was forced to.
"Why?!"
Ning Wanshuang didn't understand, and neither did anyone else.
Gu Changhuai then explained, "Even if they have a barrier, they are not good at attacking. One of the three is a pill cultivator, one is a sound cultivator, and the other's origins are unknown. If we really ask them to help attract the giant lizard's attention, we will be saved, but the three of them will probably be seriously injured. At that time, the world will blame us for being incompetent and harming them."
Of course, there was another reason: Gu Changhuai really couldn't stand Feng Xiyue and the others' smug attitude, and he couldn't bring himself to beg them! He knew in his heart that if he begged them today, the Wanjian Sect would definitely be a level below the Lingxiao Sect in the future!
At worst, he can handle one giant lizard beast by himself, and leave the other one to others! No matter what, the disciples of their Myriad Swords Sect are stronger than those of the Lingxiao Sect!
