As soon as they heard this, not only the people in the Chunyu Pavilion, but also the cultivators on the other several viewing platforms exploded.
“Is Xu Taiping crazy！”
“One against eight, such harsh conditions and he dares to agree？”
“Just for a pair of ordinary women, he is going to kill his two teammates. The Dongfang family really invited a living this time!
Hearing the curses coming from around, even Duan Xiaoyu didn’t know how to defend Xu Taiping this time.
Xiahou Qingyuan attributed Xu Taiping’s choice this time to four words –
“Womanly kindness.”
Although Xiahou You still felt that Xu Taiping’s choice must have a profound meaning, but now he didn’t know how to refute.
Just when everyone in the attic was confused, in the virtual shadow screen, the voice of the valley master Mo Yu sounded –
“As expected of a master from above, such harsh conditions, he dares to agree.”
Obviously, even the valley master of the Bahao Valley didn’t expect Xu Taiping to directly agree to his request of one against eight.
Mo Yu nodded again at this time and said：
“Okay, trying the knife, right？ It’s okay.”
He first looked at Gu Yu with a face full of anger with a smile, and then looked at the eight evils behind him, and then cupped his hands and said respectfully：
“Elder Eight, please discuss among you a little bit, who will try the knife with this Gu Yu.”
As soon as the voice fell, I saw the old man sitting on the far left suddenly pat the chair and stand up.
Although the old man with a broad face and silver hair was no more than five feet tall, his physique was extremely strong, and his pair of eyes were extremely bright.
Gu Yu, the valley master, immediately smiled and cupped his hands and said：
“Then I’ll have to trouble Old Gou.”
The silver-haired old man snorted coldly, picked up an iron ax and stepped into the center of the courtyard.
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, the expressions of the people in the viewing of Chunyu Pavilion suddenly became extremely tense.
Duan Xiaoyu was even more curious and asked：
“The eight villains of Bahao Valley should be about twenty years older than that Gu Yu, right？ Why are their physiques still so strong？”
Upon hearing this, the old martial god Zhu Huai explained：
“Although one cannot cultivate in the Burial Immortal Ruins, the lifespan of martial artists among them is much longer than that of ordinary people. Especially after breaking through to the Martial Master Realm, the lifespan can be extended by at least one Jiazi.”
“If one reaches the Martial Venerable Realm, there is no big problem in living to be one hundred and seventy or eighty years old.”
As soon as he heard this, Duan Xiaoyu’s face immediately became a little ugly and said:
“Doesn’t that mean that the cultivation bases of the eight villains in Bahao Valley are at least in the Martial Master Realm？”
Jiang Cuicui shook her head and said：
“Judging from their ages, they should be around eighty years old, and their combat power may not all be in the Martial Master Realm.”
Jiang Cuicui added：
“Moreover, the martial realm in the Burial Immortal Ruins is quite watery. Judging from the battle where Jiuyuan and the other two ambushed and killed the leading general, the combat power of their Martial Master Realm warriors is even weaker than that of the Martial Master Realm warriors of the same realm in the Upper Clear Realm by a whole major rank.”
After hearing the explanations of Martial God Zhu Huai and his master Jiang Cuicui, Duan Xiaoyu finally heaved a big sigh of relief.
However, the next sentence of Chu Xiaoxiao made Duan Xiaoyu’s heart rise to his throat again.
I saw Chu Xiaoxiao frown and say：
“But that Gu Yu is also a warrior in the Burial Immortal Ruins？”
……
Burial Immortal Ruins.
In the ancestral hall of Hongling Town.
I saw that after Gou Yinhai walked to the center of the courtyard, he immediately looked at Gu Yu with a look of disdain and said：
“Back then in the Red Carp Library, I, Gou Yinhai, saw that you were young, so I spared your life. Unexpectedly, you actually dare to come and take revenge？ Courting death！”
Gu Yu took a deep breath and was just about to walk over with the long knife in his hand, but just as he took a step, Xu Taiping beside him put his hand on his shoulder and then said in a low voice：
“In this knife test, you are not allowed to use the Seven Kills Saber. Even the power of the divine and strange bones can only be used on the arm that holds the knife.”
Just as Gu Yu had a confused look on his face, he heard Xu Taiping add again：
“Because if you can’t defeat Gou Yinhai like this, then when it comes to one against eight next, you will surely lose.”
Gu Yu nodded with a sudden realization on his face, and then tentatively asked in a low voice：
“Then what if I lose？”
Xu Taiping said seriously：
“If you lose, you don’t have to take action anymore.”
“Next, I will take action to avenge you. From now on, I won’t teach you to practice the knife anymore, and you don’t have to go with us to slay the dragon. All of this is regarded as if it never happened.”
Gu Yu’s heart trembled when he heard this.
Because the meaning of Xu Taiping’s words was very obvious. Once he lost to Gou Yinhai, Xu Taiping would no longer believe in him from today on.
And he would once again, like before, muddle through the rest of his life in a daze.
Gu Yu shook his head vigorously and said in a low voice with extremely firm tone：
“Immortal, I won’t lose, definitely not！”
The experience of practicing the knife in the past one or two months, aside from greatly increasing Gu Yu’s combat power with the knife, also made a very strong thought well up in Gu Yu’s heart——
“I want to live again for myself！”
This time, he was no longer the Gu Yu who watched his husband die tragically, nor the Gu Yu who was lured by the demon dragon because of his weak will and let his elder brother die from the backlash of the great formation, and even less the Gu Yu who wandered around and wasted decades of time in vain.
This time, he wanted to be Gu Yu who took revenge for his master, and he wanted to be Gu Yu who joined hands with the immortal in the sky to slay the dragon！
Once a person has seen a better version of himself and a better way of living, he no longer wants to go back to the past.
Gu Yu at this moment was like this.
After answering Xu Taiping so resolutely, Gu Yu immediately picked up the long knife in his hand and walked towards the center of the courtyard with extremely firm steps.
Gu Yu’s firmness surprised Xu Taiping a little.
The reason why he asked Gu Yu to test his knife with one of the Eight Evils first was not to inspire Gu Yu at all, but completely just to leave a way out for his team.
Looking at Gu Yu’s firm steps forward, “That crying teenager suddenly grew up today.”
”Bang！”
At this time, when Gu Yu was still more than ten zhang away from Gou Yinhai, one of the Eight Evils, Gu Yu stopped and slammed the sheathed long knife in his hand heavily on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he saw his gaze meet Gou Yinhai’s and said in a deep voice：
”Old guy, did you spare my life because you thought I was young？ Clearly it’s because the officers and soldiers have arrived and you have to escape quickly！”
Gou Yinhai sneered and said：
”Your memory is really good.”
Gou Yinhai’s expression immediately turned cold, and he heavily smashed the iron axe onto the ground. Then, he said coldly：
Since your memory is so good, you should have hidden far away instead of coming here to like today!
Gu Yu took a deep breath and assumed the stance of drawing his knife.
Subsequently, he saw that his eyes were firmly looking at Gou Yinhai’s gaze again and said：
“I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you.”
When saying this, Gu Yu added in his heart：
“Mr. Red Carp, and everyone in the library, today, Gu Yu has come to avenge you！”
Immediately afterwards, his gaze turned sharp, and he stared straight at Gou Yinhai and continued：
“You will definitely die here today, and it will definitely be you！”
Almost at the same time as these words were spoken, only a “clang” sound was heard, and Gu Yu suddenly drew his knife out of its sheath.
