Yu Gu's last words were very moving!
This was a lesson taught by blood! Even if they were very clear about the Swordsman's heavy sword, they still did not have a thorough understanding of it! Therefore, Yu Gu's last words were to carry the shell on their backs!
It meant that they did not have to care about their reputation, they had to add everything they could, even if they had to carry a house on their backs!
Wushang Shang Xin, Three Pure Ones, Jia Lan Mingdeng, and a few other senior brothers gathered together. Tomorrow at this time, they would send out the second cultivator to challenge, and they would maintain the maximum frequency of one cultivator per day.
The second person had already been chosen, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Yu Gu's performance was a blow to the challengers! At a distance of nearly ten thousand feet, he did not make a single move, and was on the defense the whole time. After he used up all the external puppets given by his sect, he was quickly killed. The whole process did not take more than five breaths, four swords. Actually, it was not impossible to say that it was only one sword!
Under the ferocity of the Swordsman, Yu Gu did not show the value of a powerhouse who was ranked tenth! Even if it was a Foundation Establishment newbie who went up, with three external puppets, he should be able to hold on until the fourth sword, right?
Psychologically, it would definitely have a huge impact on the challengers. The cultivators would think, if the tenth ranked Three Pure Ones was in such a miserable state, then if I did not have a death substitute talisman, how many swords can I take?
In fact, not everyone was as generous as the Three Pure Ones. A portion of the cultivators who were preparing to challenge did not have any death substitute talisman. This was the problem of the sect's foundation.
"Sigh, if only there were a few more external puppets, maybe Senior Brother Yu Gu would be able to get over this …"
A Big Brother from a small sect sighed. He was just trying to find something to say to break the awkward atmosphere. At their level, how could they not know that this kind of foreign object that could be used as a scapegoat would do more harm than good to a cultivator with great ambition?
For example, the Swordsman who was standing on top of the Fish Leap Peak definitely did not have one! This was the source of his strength! Similarly, as far as he knew, many real powerhouses might not have one. That was a kind of lack of confidence! How promising could he be if he placed all his hopes on a scapegoat? Was he going to rely on a scapegoat from the very beginning?
The Guardian of the Three Purities, the third-ranked expert, could be said to be the person in charge of this alliance. Although it was a three-way alliance on the surface, it still depended on the strength of the cultivators. Since the second-ranked Supreme Burning Incense wasn't coming, he deserved to be the one with the most authority.
He shot a glance at the cultivator. "Victory or defeat has nothing to do with how many death substitution talismans you bring! I had already warned you about this earlier, but unfortunately, some people didn't listen!
If he did not have a single external weapon, would Yu Gu Shidi be so careless as to enter the sword range and be at a loss?
The true use of the Death Substitution Talisman was to have a talisman on one's body, but not in one's heart. Fighting in a state of mind without talismans was the true use of the Death Substitution Talisman! Unfortunately for us Foundation Establishment cultivators, if we had talismans on us, we would naturally take this aspect into consideration during battle. This is the Dao of death substitution!
The body has the heart but the mind doesn't. I know that I can't achieve such a state of mind. I chose the lesser of two evils, so I didn't bring any external weapons!
I have no right to ask others, but everyone must think clearly. Even if you bring a hundred death substitution talismans, you will only die a hundred more times in the hands of the Swordsman!
As far as I know, even Burning Incense doesn't bring such things! He won't even bring candied haws!
To a powerhouse, if you don't bring it, you won't be killed! If you bring it, you will definitely be killed! "
Shouru's words were also used by this cultivator to remind everyone. In this alliance, due to the fact that the opponent was extremely strong, it would be difficult for anyone to survive. Therefore, everyone brought almost all of their belongings and trump cards, even including the treasures of their sect's inner treasury. It was all for an extra chance, an extra guarantee. The death substitution talisman was only one of them.
However, one of the disadvantages of doing so was that one's mentality would be unbalanced! Relying on something that one wasn't familiar with would instead affect the cultivator's usual battle habits and style. It was hard to say whether it was good or bad. In any case, Yu Gu had suffered a huge setback because of this and lost his life. Before he died, he was still shouting about putting on a shell. Was that the problem of putting on a shell?
However, this kind of thing wasn't easy to talk about. It involved everyone's ideals and couldn't be forced. He could only use this as a pretext to make a fuss.
Very quickly, he turned to the main topic. "For tomorrow's battle, it's no longer appropriate to follow the original plan! We need an opponent who can at least exchange blows with us, or someone who can protect himself even if he loses. Otherwise, if this goes on, he'll die if he goes up. How can there be any morale? Fellow Junior Brothers, do you have any recommendations? "
… Shouru's words weren't just words to scare people!
At least among the Dharma lineage group, a trace of fear had already begun to quietly spread. They believed that the Dharma lineage would definitely defeat the Swordsman in the end. However, before that, they also firmly believed that they would have to pay a heavy price!
Before the victory, it wasn't easy to be the paving stone for someone else without a bit of fearless dedication!
Xiao Qiu held her father's hand tightly. Her heart kept sinking, sinking, sinking until there wasn't a single glimmer of hope left.
Although she knew that her father's strength wasn't as simple as it appeared to be, there was always a limit. Compared to an elite Foundation Establishment cultivator, there was no meaning in competing at all. She even suspected that her father wouldn't have the chance to drag his opponent into the River of Blood!
Although she was unusually intelligent, she couldn't help at all on this stage that didn't belong to her! She only hoped that her father's turn would last longer, just a little longer.
Ya Pu held his daughter's hand. He had this daughter at an old age and usually doted on her like a treasure. Now that he thought about it, he had spoiled her a little. However, at this point, he didn't want to change anything. He could only cherish what he had.
He said softly, "This Yu Gu died purely because of his arrogance! Don't worry, Xiao Qiu. I have a way to get close to that Swordsman and drag him into the River of Blood! Although I still don't have a big chance, I'm not completely powerless! "
Xiao Qiu suddenly had an idea. "Father, what if, what if you can communicate with him during the battle? For example, set up a trap and let him injure you? Wouldn't you be able to preserve your life and protect your sect and family? I heard that the Xuanyuan Swordsman isn't an extremely evil person. They're usually lenient towards those who beg for mercy … "
Ya Pu looked at his daughter and stared seriously into her eyes. "Xiao Qiu, you haven't cultivated for long and haven't built your Dao foundation yet. Therefore, I don't blame you for saying such things!
For mortals, there's a deity watching over them! For cultivators, the Dao of Heaven hangs in the heart of every cultivator. It's real and can't be profaned!
If I do that today, it's the same as cutting off my own Dao path. I won't have the slightest chance of improving myself!
I'm almost two hundred years old this year. How many more decades do I have? Therefore, don't say such things in the future. Don't even think about it. Since you've already started cultivating Qi, you have to abandon these ideas! "
Ya Pu's heart was filled with grief. He wasn't afraid of death, especially when he was already in the Foundation Establishment stage! However, he was really worried about his daughter. She was spoiled, willful, and extremely daring. Without him, would her mother be able to control her?
