Chapter Eighty-Seven: To Live or to Die?
"Ye Gucheng, today, you can't leave!"
At the moment when Ye Gucheng landed, Lin Nuo's figure also arrived suddenly, he did not continue to attack, but surrounded the other party with several other masters.
Ye Gucheng looked around with his sword, and behind him, Lin Nuo was dressed in black armor and holding a black spear, like a door god, blocking his retreat.
Directly in front, the old eunuch surnamed Chu, who was rickety, seemed to be dying on the spot in the next moment, with a faint smile on his dry face like tree bark, just like an elder looking at his naughty junior.
On its left side, Xiu'er held a cold iron sword, without any words, but her body exuded a powerful sword aura, and the sharp and unstoppable sword qi flashed with a silver cold light at the tip of the sword, and she was not easy to mess with at first glance.
On the right, there is a middle-aged man who looks a little sloppy, unkempt, with a scruffy beard, and a horsewhip pinned to his waist, who seems to usually work as a groom.
This is the groom that Xiu'er herself was looking for, and he accompanied Lin Nuo all the way to the exam, and no matter how Lin Nuo's official position changed, the groom in his mansion has always been this person.
This is also the first time Lin Nuo has seen this person make a move, and he has eighteen palms of dragon descending in one hand, and his power is really extraordinary, even Ye Gucheng does not dare to underestimate it!
Lin Nuo actually basically had the answer to this person's identity, but over the years, Xiu'er had no intention of introducing it, so Lin Nuo was happy to pretend to be confused and pretended not to know.
It's just that now that the other party has made a move, that is, there is no intention to hide his identity anymore, and after Lin Nuo was slightly silent, he no longer continued to pretend to be confused.
Taking a step forward, Lin Nuo hugged his fists and bowed, bowed to the middle-aged man, and said very respectfully: "Son-in-law Lin Nuo, meet your father-in-law!"
However, it was good that Lin Nuo didn't react before, and this salute, the middle-aged man who originally seemed a little majestic, suddenly the whole person fell, and waved his hand with some fear, and waved his hand at Lin Nuo again and again.
"Don't torture the little old man, you are the star in the sky, I am the mud on the earth, but I don't deserve your courtesy!"
Lin Nuo couldn't help but be stunned, this style of painting is wrong, a top master, and his father-in-law, is it necessary to be so humble in front of his son-in-law?
Could it be that he is dissatisfied with his son-in-law?
Lin Nuo subconsciously looked at Xiu'er, and found that Xiu'er was also full of helplessness at this time, and couldn't help blinking after feeling Lin Nuo's gaze.
With Lin Nuo's understanding of Xiu'er, he instantly understood what she was trying to express.
"Now you know why I've been reluctant to introduce his identity, right?"
Lin Nuo coughed dryly, although he didn't know why Xiu'er's father reacted this way, but after all, this was his own family matter, and on this occasion, it was not the time to find out.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Emperor Zhengde, who was very eager to perform, walked over with excitement accompanied by his father-in-law of Chu Fang.
"Ye Gucheng, when I was young, I grew up listening to your name!"
"When I was still the crown prince, I left the Forbidden City and wanted to worship you as a teacher, but unfortunately, I didn't find any trace of you after traveling for more than half a month!"
"Really?" Ye Gucheng glanced at Zhu Houzhao with a complicated expression, and then shook his head, "Your qualifications are too poor, even if you find me, it is impossible to apprentice!"
Belch!
Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly became a little unbearable.
Hitting people doesn't slap their faces, scolding people doesn't expose their shortcomings, Zhu Houzhao also knows that his talent for martial arts is not good, but being said so bluntly by a generation of martial arts myths still makes him feel a little unable to get off the stage.
"Ye Gucheng, surrender, as long as you are willing to swear allegiance to me, I will not be guilty of your previous treason!"
Today's performance of Ye Gucheng, especially the sword technique of flying immortals outside the sky, really amazed Zhu Houzhao, for such a master, he really raised his heart to recruit.
Ye Gucheng didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Houzhao quietly.
"Aren't you known as the Lord of Baiyun City, as long as you are willing to submit to me and take the head of King Ning for me, I will build a Baiyun City for you, so that your name as the Lord of Baiyun City will be completely confirmed, how about it?"
Regarding the emperor's promise, Ye Gucheng's expression did not change from beginning to end, and after Zhu Houzhao's words were over, he slowly turned around and stared at Lin Nuo without blinking.
"Your name is Lin Nuo, right?
Lin Nuo nodded and did not speak.
"You are very strong, if you are given another ten years, there will be no one in this world who is your opponent, even if it is Ximen blowing snow!"
For Lin Nuo's potential, Ye Gucheng couldn't be clearer.
Whether it is the endless internal force, or the strong to the perverted physique, or the soft and rigid marksmanship, just casually, it is enough to fight across the rivers and lakes.
What's more, Lin Nuo looks too young, that is, in his twenties, young, for a martial artist, it means endless potential!
Regarding Ye Gucheng's praise, Lin Nuo only smiled and did not answer.
For Lin Nuo, who is bent on reaping good fortune and breaking through to the innate realm, what invincible opponent in the rivers and lakes has never been his goal.
"Lin Nuo, if it were me if you were you, would I choose to live for hundreds of years in this mortal situation, or would I choose to shine the brightest light at the peak moment?"
Ye Gucheng's question involves the category of philosophy.
In layman's terms, in the face of adversity, will you choose to live or choose to die?
This question, everyone has their own opinions, if Lin Nuo is allowed to choose, he will definitely choose Gou, after all, there is a plug-in in his hand, and it is only a matter of time before he rises to the heavens, and his brain will choose to die in waves!
But since Ye Gucheng asked this question, it is obvious that he actually chose the latter.
For a supreme swordsman who has come to the end of his sword path and is subject to the world level and can no longer break through, they actually don't care about life or death.
With Ye Gucheng's pride and dignity, it is simply unrealistic for him to choose to surrender and live for the rest of his life!
In Lin Nuo's silence, Ye Gucheng took off the cyan robe on his body, revealing the inside, a delicate robe with white clothes and no dust.
"In fact, compared to Tsing Yi, I prefer spotless white clothes, every time I duel with someone, I like to wear white clothes, this is my Ye Gucheng, respect for the opponent!"
Speaking of this, a stiff smile appeared on Ye Gucheng's face, which had been indifferent.
"On the night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City, a sword comes from the west, and immortals fly outside the sky!"
"Tonight, it's a life-and-death battle between me Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow, and I don't want to miss the appointment. Can we wait for my decisive battle before continuing?"
