Chapter 541 Fatal Words
Chapter 541 Fatal Words
Despite being split in two at an angle, Guilongji did not die immediately due to his powerful vitality; he even remained conscious.
However, the sword wound was too severe, slicing his heart diagonally in two. No matter how strong his vitality was, he was bound to die.
At this moment, his conscious mind caused Guilong to suffer immense pain from the feedback from his nerves.
Even someone as powerful as Guilongji was now experiencing painful facial contortions. Out of a martial artist's pride, he endured the pain without crying out or groaning.
Gao Wu turned and walked up to Gui Longji. He looked into Gui Longji's eyes and said calmly, "You know this isn't a personal grudge."
Knowing he was doomed, Gui Longji couldn't help but want to curse. Normally, such words were one thing, but for someone to say something like that when he was about to die was truly inhuman!
But he didn't see any mockery, ridicule, or contempt on Gao Wu's face. Gao Wu was just as calm, relaxed, and natural as before.
Defeating two martial arts masters did not seem to excite him, nor did he feel any joy or guilt after the killing.
It's as if this is just a routine matter!
Guilongji gave up the urge to swear. In the end, there was no need to be so rude, and it was meaningless.
He endured the excruciating pain and asked, "Who are you? How can you possess such powerful swordsmanship?"
Gao Wu didn't answer the question. Instead, he asked, "You have a tradition of writing farewell poems. You're about to die, don't you want to say a few words?"
Before Gui Longji could speak, Gao Wu continued, "A philosopher once said, 'I especially love those who write in blood.' I wholeheartedly agree. Only in the midst of suffering and life and death can one truly gain profound understanding."
"Without these, all written thoughts and ideas seem superficial and illusory."
The sudden shift in topic left Guilong somewhat bewildered, unsure of what to say.
Gao Wu laughed instead: "It seems you lack experience. People of status always find a ghostwriter to write a few lines of their final farewell poem beforehand, and recite them with their own lives. Even if they are made up, they will always have a more moving quality."
He thought for a moment and said, "I do have a final poem that I can give to you."
"Two Japanese devils, two Japanese devils, the knife is fast, the knife is fast, one has no head, the other is cut in two, how strange, how strange."
After Gao Wu finished reading, he asked expectantly, "How was this poem?"
Guilong Jizhen was furious. In just a few words, his life force was exhausted. He wanted to curse, but he didn't have the strength to open his mouth. He could only glare at Gao Wu with hatred in his eyes.
"Don't be angry, I just saw you were in pain and wanted to tell you a joke to cheer you up..."
Gao Wu gently comforted him, "Actually, since you're already dead, it's not so bad to be a happy ghost."
He glanced at Gui Longji's split chest and said, "Others will praise you for dying with such magnanimity."
Gui Longji understood what Gao Wu meant, but his vision was gradually dimming and his consciousness was slipping into darkness, so he was no longer able to respond.
The blood-stained paper sliding door was opened, and Lin Feihe and Lin Jiayi rushed in almost at the same time.
Just then, the two saw Guilong's pupils dilate and his breathing stop, and they were both stunned.
For more than a decade, the two of them thought about killing Guilongji and Guilongdao almost every day to avenge themselves.
Seeing their enemy lying dead on the spot, both felt a great sense of satisfaction and relief. But thinking of their deceased loved ones, they also felt a pang of sadness.
Anyway, we've finally gotten our revenge. Our deceased loved ones can finally rest in peace.
Gao Wu said to Lin Jiayi, "His knife is very good, take it."
Lin Jiayi, being a member of the underworld, didn't have any concerns about this. She first examined Gui Longji's corpse and saw that the broken parts of his body were incredibly smooth, which showed how swift and precise the sword strike was.
Then look at the headless corpse; it has the same sword marks.
She glanced at Gao Wu again, and surprisingly, she couldn't see any blood on him.
In other words, in this battle, Gao Wu fought two martial arts masters and killed them without being injured, and his body was completely unblemished.
It's clear that the two sides in the battle are not on the same level.
Keep in mind that Gao Wu only condensed his Sea of Essence today. Such martial arts talent is truly terrifying!
Lin Jiayi exclaimed sincerely, "Junior Uncle Wu is too strong. He can kill two martial arts masters with ease."
"They're just too weak," Gao Wu said matter-of-factly.
The source energy in this world is weak, so martial artists should have been studying the techniques of applying force, but they all remained at a relatively superficial level.
This also involves a key issue: the low level of source power limits martial artists to using source power at a very low level.
Qin Liuhe created the Twelve Divine Forms, but it was because he saw through the essence of source power from an extremely high level.
Over the past century, countless martial artists have refined their skills and have thoroughly studied the changes in source energy.
Therefore, the two worlds are vastly different in terms of martial arts.
As a level twelve martial arts god, Gao Wu's martial arts skills had reached their peak in the original universe, and no level twelve life form could compare with him.
Once you arrive in this world and learn the Iron Crane Sect's skills, you'll be able to apply what you've learned to many other situations, easily maximizing the power you've condensed.
Although Gui Longji and Gui Longdao possessed highly skilled martial arts, their level was too low. Even though he had only condensed his Sea of Essence, his understanding of martial arts would have allowed him to easily kill them both.
In fact, the outcome of this battle was entirely predictable. The only difference was how the two men died.
The details involved are neither clear nor necessary to explain.
Lin Jiayi wisely refrained from asking further questions. She wiped the blood off the Thunder Cutter, sheathed it, and handed it to Gao Wu.
Gao Wu shook his head: "I'll use the sword. You can keep this knife."
Regardless, this knife is made of special material; even someone who doesn't know its value could sell it for a million or two. Someone who does know its worth could easily get it for ten or twenty million.
Lin Jiayi's cultivation level is quite good. If she can truly condense her essence sea, her combat power will increase exponentially with this sword in hand, which will be enough for her to establish herself in Nangang.
Lin Feihe was even more unceremonious, putting away Guilongdao's knife as well.
Although this sword is not as good as the Thunder Cutter, its material and craftsmanship far surpass the Azure Frost Sword of Gao Wu. He is a connoisseur.
He didn't intend to use the knife for anything; he mainly wanted to collect it as a memento. After all, it was his enemy's weapon, and looking at it once would remind him of his enemy lying dead on the spot, making it worth revisiting.
Gao Wu heard a series of hurried footsteps outside, and he knew that it was the lower and middle-level members of the Extreme Path Society rushing up.
This group of people were unaware that Gui Longji, Gui Longdao, and Gui Longji were all dead, so naturally they wanted to be the first to act and show their martial prowess.
The opponents' martial arts skills are definitely not very good, but they have all kinds of modern firearms, and possibly grenades, bombs and the like, which is very dangerous for Lin Jiayi and her group.
"I'll take care of them," Gao Wu said, then picked up his sword and went out.
Lin Jiayi gripped the precious sword, eager to try, but Lin Feihe grabbed her arm, saying, "They have guns, don't risk it."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a burst of assault rifle fire...
The intense, ear-piercing gunfire was interspersed with screams and cries of agony. This process lasted for about a minute, and then there was silence.
In a flash, Gao Wu was back in his room. He was dressed in a clean white short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and there wasn't a trace of blood on him.
Even the casual cloth shoes on his feet were clean and tidy.
Lin Jiayi couldn't help but ask, "Junior Uncle Wu, how did you do that?"
"It's very simple. Once you've refined your essence sea, you can release your true energy. Just use your true energy to block the blood when it spurts out."
Gao Wu understood Lin Jiayi's meaning. This was just a technique for circulating true qi. It wasn't difficult, but it consumed a lot of true qi.
However, he possesses the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, allowing him to sustain this level of true qi consumption for several hours without any problem.
When Lin Jiayi and Lin Feihe came out of the room, they saw corpses everywhere.
These people were dressed in black suits, wearing masks, and carrying various modern firearms as well as cold weapons such as long knives and shuriken.
There were dozens of people, their bodies lined up along the corridors and stairwells, the ground covered in blood, but not a single living person could be seen.
The surrounding walls and windows were covered with various gunshot marks, and the scene was a mess.
Gao Wu asked Lin Jiayi, "Can you solve this?"
Lin Jiayi smiled wryly: "I can't."
If it were a remote area like Deep Water Bay, she might be able to try to find someone.
Queen's Port is the commercial center of South Port. It is the territory of the Heavenly Martial Society, and other gangs would never dare to cause trouble here.
This is also where the official security force in Nangang is strongest.
Fortunately, the Tianji Building is over two hundred meters tall, so the gunshots from the rooftop might not be heard below. Everyone here is dead, so escaping shouldn't be a problem.
"oh."
Gao Wu didn't care much. With his essence sea condensed and the Azure Frost Sword in hand, he could move freely up and down in this three-dimensional urban jungle. He was not afraid of small modern weapons, and nothing could hold him back.
Modern surveillance is limited, and various technological means are not very effective. Even if he wanted to hide, no one could find him.
This is extremely bad news for Lin Feihe and Lin Jiayi. If the Tianwu Society really wants to settle scores, the two of them won't be able to escape.
Gao Wu led the two to the monitoring room and destroyed all the surveillance tapes, which solved their problem.
When he left the lobby, the security guard was still there, but his expression was a little strange. He didn't know what had happened, but he had a feeling that something was wrong.
Lin Jiayi slapped the security guard on the back of the head, causing him to lose consciousness, his eyes to roll back, and he to foam at the mouth.
Fearing that Gao Wu might misunderstand, Lin Jiayi explained, "This person saw us. He won't die from a single blow; he'll just lose his memory for a short time. It's not a big problem."
She's been involved in this kind of thing a lot in the underworld, so she's very experienced. Now that she's focused her energy, her attacks are even more precise.
When the three returned to their parking spot, they found it empty; the truck was nowhere to be seen.
The blond-haired guy squatting and smoking in the convenience store next door shouted excitedly, "Brother Yang, it's these country bumpkins! Damn it, kill them..."
Seven or eight thugs were squatting next to Huang Mao. They were all young and held short sticks, daggers and the like.
The leader, Brother Yang, was in his early thirties, with blond hair, a cigarette dangling from his lips, a gold chain around his neck, and various colored tattoos on his exposed neck and arms.
A group of people quickly surrounded Lin Jiayi and her two companions. The blond-haired man pointed at Lin Jiayi and cursed, "It's this filthy bitch!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jiayi raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face again.
Lin Jiayi was in a good mood, but she was also a little angry because this kid had messed things up.
With one slap, the opponent's jawbone was shattered, and half of his teeth flew out of his mouth.
The blond-haired man fainted without a sound.
In the underworld, cursing and beating people are commonplace, but doing bad things also comes with corresponding risks.
If you have poor eyesight and offend the wrong person, you'll have to bear the consequences.
Lin Jiayi, being a member of the underworld, had the utmost contempt for blind idiots like this. She'd teach them a small lesson the first time, but wouldn't be so lenient the second.
Seeing his underling being beaten, Brother Yang instinctively pulled out the dagger tucked in his waistband. He didn't dare to kill anyone; he usually used it to intimidate ordinary people or scare students.
Using this skill, he's already slept with many schoolgirls. Young girls understand nothing, and naturally develop admiration for powerful violence.
As soon as Yang Ge gripped the dagger, he sensed something was wrong. This woman was beautiful, but there was a genuine, murderous glint in her eyes; it wasn't fake.
Lin Jiayi pointed at Brother Yang's nose and said, "Your boss is Chen Yiyuan, right? Go and call him over. If he doesn't come in half an hour, then don't bother coming back."
Yang was immediately dumbfounded. Who was this guy, talking so arrogantly! Their boss, Chen Yiyuan, was the boss of Yuansheng, and he followed the Heavenly King Huang Shengtian.
Otherwise, how dare they charge parking fees here?
The other person seemed aggressive and didn't appear to be faking it. He asked more cautiously, "Who are you?"
"Tell him that Tie He is a master of martial arts." Lin Jiayi knew her own limitations; she had only just cultivated her Qi Sea and might not be able to defeat Chen Yiyuan. Her reputation wouldn't intimidate Chen Yiyuan either.
Uncle-Master Xiaowu is different. Ever since he killed Weichai, Jin Dayuan has had to grovel and offer gifts to apologize. He has also established his reputation in the martial arts world.
Yang Ge was too low-level; he didn't even know Gao Wu's name. He hurriedly went to the convenience store next door to make a phone call.
After several transfers, they finally found Chen Yiyuan. Upon hearing the names Tie He and Gao Wu, the leader felt a jolt of fear.
He breathed a sigh of relief after finding out that they had only towed Gao Wu's truck away. Although this man was ruthless, he wouldn't go so far as to kill someone for such a trivial matter.
If Jin Daya got away with being a collaborator, then his situation is even less of a problem.
Still fearing something might happen, Chen Yiyuan summoned a group of his capable subordinates and hurriedly drove a luxury SUV to the location.
As Chen Yiyuan got out of the car, he saw Gao Wu from afar.
The main reason is that Gao Wu is the tallest, with a tall and slender figure. He is dressed simply but carries a sword. Standing on the bustling street, he is out of place with his surroundings and has a kind of temperament that is hard to describe.
Chen Yiyuan also saw Lin Jiayi. Honghu was Lao Gui's Double Flower Red Stick, both beautiful and skilled in fighting, and quite famous in the martial arts world. He had met her twice and had a deep impression of her.
As for the other middle-aged man, he had never seen him before, but he assumed he was a master from the Iron Crane Sect.
"Haha..." Chen Yiyuan chuckled from afar, laughing, "The flood washed away the Dragon King's temple; we're all one family!"
He then bowed and clasped his hands in a humble manner, saying, "I have long admired your name, Master Gao, but meeting you today is even more rewarding than hearing about it."
"You flatter me," Gao Wu replied casually, and then fell silent.
This burly man with a face full of scars, exuding the air of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of outlaws and gangsters), was exactly like Jin Daya. He had no interest in associating with such a slick and wicked person.
Chen Yiyuan exchanged a few more polite words with Lin Jiayi before scolding Yang Ge: "Blind fool! Kneel down and thank Master Gao for his leniency!"
Yang hesitated for a moment, then knelt down, his head on the ground, and said in a muffled voice, "Master Gao, it's all our fault, please forgive us."
In the underworld of Nangang, people generally value the dignity of a man's knees; for minor offenses, kneeling to admit fault is sufficient. It's not as cruel as cutting off a finger.
Lin Jiayi looked at Gao Wu, indicating that she would let Gao Wu make the decision.
Gao Wu used his sword sheath to gently lift Yang Ge up by the armpit. He said to Chen Yiyuan, "Since we're family, there's no need to worry about such a small matter."
He changed the subject and said, "I happen to have a small favor to ask Mr. Chen for."
Chen Yiyuan said generously, "Just tell me what you need. I still have some influence in this area."
"Several people have died in Tianji. Please help us deal with it, Mr. Chen," Gao Wu said casually.
"The Celestial Pole?"
Chen Yiyuan's rough and burly face immediately changed color. He looked at the Tianji Building not far away, then turned back to look at Gao Wu, his eyes full of questions.
Gao Wu nodded affirmatively: "That's it, fifty-seven people in total. This is troublesome."
Huang Mao and his gang heard everything clearly, and they were all horrified.
Especially Brother Yang, who was a little indignant just now, now felt a chill run down his spine and his tailbone was throbbing, as if he was about to pee himself...
Even the well-informed Chen Yiyuan was completely dumbfounded; his mouth was dry and his heart was pounding wildly.
Damn it, the first time he cheated on his wife, he was caught in the room by her husband and his men. His heart had never been this fast, and he had never been this panicked.
Gao Wu asked, "Why... can't you do it?"
Chen Yiyuan wanted to refuse, but when his eyes met Gao Wu's dark and calm gaze, he couldn't utter a single word of refusal.
He nodded repeatedly, somewhat embarrassed, "No problem, no problem..."
