Chapter 44 As expected, I am a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand!
There is a small shop selling chicken feathers at the foot of the mountain.
Around noon, Gu Yu and A Fei entered the small shop. There were only four small tables inside, three of which were occupied by seven or eight men drinking.
"Oh, esteemed guests, please have a seat!"
The proprietress swayed her plump hips and greeted us warmly.
Although she is middle-aged, she still retains her charm, plump and fair, like a ripe peach.
Gu Yu sat down and smiled at the proprietress, saying, "Bring on all the best wine and food!"
The proprietress smiled sweetly: "Please wait a moment, sir!"
"Snapped!"
As soon as he turned around, Gu Yu raised his hand and slapped her plump buttocks.
"You're going to die!"
The proprietress turned her head, looking coquettish.
"Hahaha!"
Gu Yu laughed heartily.
Wandering the world has its own unique charm.
After a while, the proprietress brought out the food and drinks, saying sweetly, "Please enjoy your meal, esteemed guests!"
Gu Yu smiled and said, "Boss lady, why don't you join me for a drink?"
"OK!"
The proprietress was quite generous and took a cup to drink with me.
Next, Gu Yu and A Fei drank and chatted.
After finishing a pot of wine, the two men got drunk, their heads lolling to the side as they slumped onto the table.
Seeing this, the proprietress looked smug and laughed, "No matter how good your skills are, you still ended up falling into my hands, didn't you?"
"Hahaha!"
"As expected of the Bewitching Maiden, the sleeping potion you personally concocted would knock out even a celestial being."
"I'll kill these two brats first!"
The proprietress quickly said, "No, let's just take our things. There's no need to kill anyone."
"Womanly compassion!"
A burly, dark-skinned man snorted coldly and walked toward Gu Yu and his companion with murderous intent.
But someone was faster than him, leaping up and slashing at Ah Fei's back with a knife.
After all, this is a great opportunity to make a name for oneself.
"Bang!"
The knife struck the table instead.
Ah Fei, who had been lying on the table, suddenly vanished into thin air.
not good!
The man's face turned ashen; he was so frightened that he dropped his knife and was about to flee.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
At the same time, Gu Yu also moved, stabbing the big black man in the chest with his sword.
The shop instantly descended into chaos, with bowls and plates flying everywhere, tables and chairs breaking, and several screams rang out.
Actually, the commotion didn't last long, just a few blinks of an eye.
In the end, only the proprietress was standing there.
"thump!"
The proprietress finally came to her senses, her face paled, and her legs went weak, causing her to kneel on the ground.
"No...please don't kill me, please...please..."
Gu Yu said coldly, "Give me a reason not to kill you."
"I...I can..."
The proprietress was sweating profusely. She had considered offering her body as a way to make a living, but she was worried about making things worse. After all, she wasn't young anymore, and it was uncertain who would be the one taking advantage of whom.
Besides, couldn't the other party do *that* to her first, and then *that* to her later?
Left with no other choice, he had to honestly admit, "I never intended to kill you, it was just... I was just confused for a moment and got greedy."
Gu Yu smiled and said, "That's why you're still alive."
The proprietress perked up and quickly kowtowed, saying, "Thank you so much, young heroes, for sparing my life!"
In this battle, Gu Yu finally gathered all the Fate Points.
The Nine Yang Divine Skill can be upgraded again.
[Nine Yang Divine Skill (Sixth Level) - Nine Yang Divine Skill (Seventh Level): Requires 6000 Destiny Points. Confirm advancement?]
"Sure!"
Congratulations! Your Nine Yang Divine Skill has advanced to the next level.
In an instant, Gu Yu felt his true energy surge, his eight extraordinary meridians suddenly opened up, and a layer of misty purple aura appeared in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash.
This upgrade seems to be a transformation, like a stream flowing into a river, inspiring a sense of boundless ambition, like "birds can fly freely in the sky and fish can leap in the vast sea."
Indeed, I am a martial arts prodigy, one in a million!
I really want to find a master to fight!
"So you're the amorous swordsman, Gu Yu?"
The fighters actually came knocking on our door.
There was only one person this time, who was very tall and wore a bright red robe embroidered with black peonies.
The sleeves were long, covering both hands.
He looked like a zombie, with stiff, deathly gray facial muscles. He had high cheekbones, a hooked nose, a wide mouth, and eyes that gleamed with a ghastly green light.
"That's me!"
"Very well, you owe me a life, and today I've come to collect!"
"Oh?"
"Yi Ku is my cousin, my name is Yi Ye Ku!"
Gu Yu laughed, "So, you're the Red Demon Hand. You've always lived in the shadow of the Green Demon Hand, so you're not here for revenge today, but simply to prove you're stronger than the Green Demon Hand. Of course, you can also take the secret manual and the Golden Silk Armor while you're at it—a very worthwhile deal!"
Yi Ye cried coldly, "I know you're always eloquent, say whatever you want, but today I will kill you!"
Afei glanced at Gu Yu and silently stepped aside.
Gu Yu laughed and said, "There are many people who want to kill me, especially recently, but most of them have become corpses. I believe you will be no exception."
"hehe……"
Yi Ye cried out with a few cold laughs.
"Kid, Yi cried that day because he fell for your trick and that's why he lost. Do you think I'll give you another chance?"
The word "ma" was still on her lips when Yi Ye Ku had already started to move.
His weapon was hidden beneath his long sleeves, exactly the same design as the Azure Demon Hand, only the color was different.
This is a specially made claw that is not only incredibly hard but also coated with a potent poison.
Even a small cut can cause poisoning if you are injured by it.
This is why many people in the martial arts world are unwilling to provoke the Green Demon Hand; they avoid him if possible.
Although Yi Ye Ku struck first, his claw missed its mark.
Gu Yu moved with incredible speed, shifting to the left while simultaneously thrusting his sword at Yi Yeku's shoulder.
Yi Yeku raised her hand and struck, and with a clang, sparks flew as she deflected Gu Yu's sword.
Immediately afterwards, its claws swung in a cross pattern, transforming into a bloody shadow that relentlessly attacked Gu Yu.
If it were before, Gu Yu would probably have been struggling to cope.
But now, he appeared calm and composed, his sword moving like a dragon, parrying every move, making it impossible for Yi Yeku to get close to him.
"Boy, I never imagined the Limitless Sword Technique would possess such power in your hands!"
"Thank you for the compliment! However, I still have to say the truth: your strength is far inferior to that of the Azure Demon Hand. Imitation will never lead to greatness."
It is said that you shouldn't hit someone in the face, and you shouldn't insult someone by revealing their shortcomings.
Gu Yu's words were tantamount to reopening Yi Yeku's wounds and rubbing salt into them.
"court death!"
His eyes turned blood red, his claws created several afterimages, and he unleashed his ultimate move, a move he had always kept hidden.
"clang!"
Gu Yu didn't retreat an inch. With a flick of his sword tip, he shattered Yi Yeku's red demon hand in his left hand, turning it into fragments that flew everywhere.
Yi Ye was taken aback and quickly retreated.
"My turn!"
Gu Yu thrust out his sword again.
The sword strike, seemingly ordinary, was as if it had eyes. No matter how Yi Yeku dodged, the tip of the sword always pointed at his chest, less than three inches away.
Yi Ye suddenly felt a pang of regret.
Because he felt the breath of death had never been so close to him.
In desperation, he swung his right hand with all his might at the sword's edge, trying to dodge the attack.
To his surprise, he missed completely, and his arm sank.
Strangely, Gu Yu's sword tip seemed to remain motionless, still pointing at his chest.
Before Yi Yeku could change his move, the sword tip suddenly flashed and pierced into Yi Yeku's chest like lightning.
"Pfft~"
A mouthful of blood spurted from Yi Ye's mouth.
Gu Yu sheathed his sword, the tip still dripping blood.
Yi Ye cried, clutching her chest, blood seeping continuously from between her fingers.
Why...?
These were the last three words Yi Ye uttered in her life.
No one knew what he wanted to ask.
Gu Yu laughed and said, "Because you fell down before I even used my strength."
"Bang!"
Yi Ye coughed up another mouthful of blood, his body collapsed heavily, and he died with his eyes wide open.
[Defeat "Red Devil Hand" Yi Yeku, ending his fate and gaining 300 Fate Points]
