Chapter 88: The Rise of Gu Chao

  The battle is still going on at the second floor of Yinyu Restaurant.

  Yongwu vs Gu Chao

  Xiong Wu licked his tongue: "You're the new guy called Gu Chao, if you keep fighting like this, you won't have any chance of winning at all. Are you making me play cat and mouse?" He didn't like this kind of battle, he liked a quick and decisive one. As he spoke, he swung the long scimitar in his hand, each slash accompanied by a faint purple glow, heavily chopping towards Gu Chao. With a crash, another table and chairs were cut in half, and wine and dishes spilled to the ground.

  The current situation indeed has some flavor of cat and mouse game.

  Xiong Wu is that cat, and Gu Chao is that mouse.

  Gu Chao's eyes were always bright, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "Catching mice? Unfortunately, it's really not. Haven't you discovered yet?"

  Xiong Wu's eyes widened in surprise: "What did you find?"

  Gu Chao's smile at the corner of his mouth grew wider: "If you don't understand, then forget it. I've never liked explaining my tactics to enemies." Gu Chao's long knife slashed down again, but this time it wasn't aimed at Xiong Wu, but instead at the floorboards. Xiong Wu was taken aback - had this newcomer Gu Chao gone crazy? Why did his knife slash downwards towards the ground instead of at himself?

  Wait!

  Xiong Wu was also a battle enthusiast, and he immediately sensed that something was off. Unfortunately, it was already too late.

  Rumble!

  The floor shattered, and here was the second floor. Xiong Wu fell straight down to the first floor. He suddenly fell for a moment, and it was impossible to maintain balance. For someone like him, it was extremely difficult to maintain body balance in mid-air. Gu Chao had been waiting for this opportunity, and at that moment, he quickly turned his crimson long knife and slashed towards Xiong Wu. At this moment, he didn't use the weak attacking power of the Gale Knife Technique, but instead used the Waterfall One-Kill Slash!

  The attack power of the waterfall slash is quite strong.

  A gleam of light flashed through Gu Chao's hand, and Xiong Wu also went to block it. However, at this time, Xiong Wu was in mid-air and had no strength to block the knife. His long sword was knocked aside by Gu Chao's red copper long sword, and the waterfall-like slash slid quickly past Xiong Wu's right ribs.

  Blood flashed in an instant, the swift wind knife method was only a light wound, but it changed to a waterfall one knife cut down and it was not a light injury.

  Boom!

  Xiong Wu fell to the ground, utterly defeated and humiliated.

  Gu Chao stood on the ground, his sword flashed and the long knife was already placed in front of Xiong Wu's throat, one more move forward would be Xiong Wu's end.

  Xiong Wu burst out laughing: "You win, it's exhilarating." Xiong Wu was that kind of person, whether he won or lost in battle, it was equally thrilling to him. As long as the fight was exciting and enjoyable, that was all that mattered. If it wasn't enjoyable, there wouldn't be any thrill to speak of.

  In that instant, the action was like a thunderbolt, and for a moment many people didn't react in time. What exactly happened just now? Originally at a disadvantage, Gu Chao suddenly won like this. However, those with keen eyes had already seen what had happened in this battle.

  In fact, Gu Chao started his layout from the beginning of the battle with Xiong Wu.

  Ancient hyper fought positively until it was uncertain whether he could defeat Xiong Wu, but it was just too hard.

  So, from the very beginning, Gu Chao thought of a way - the place where they were fighting was on the second floor of the hotel, and the buildings in this world were made of wood. Although it was a very hard wood, it could still be cut off, unlike the steel-reinforced concrete of his previous life on Earth. Xiong Wu's body was particularly heavy, and when he climbed the stairs, it sounded like "thud thud thud". So at that time, Gu Chao had already come up with a plan. He pretended to attack Xiong Wu, but in reality, he was attacking the wooden planks beside Xiong Wu's feet, destroying them bit by bit. Finally, when he made the last cut towards the plank, it completely destroyed the connection between the plank under Xiong Wu's feet and the other planks.

  The wooden board broke, and Xiong Wu naturally wanted to fall down. With his huge body, it was not easy to maintain balance in mid-air, and he would definitely reveal a huge flaw. Gu Chao had been hiding the waterfall-cutting technique, a fierce attack, until now, when he suddenly launched it, seizing Xiong Wu's flaw at this moment, one knife decided the outcome, severely injuring Xiong Wu.

  This is Gu Chao's battle strategy.

  Those who saw this point couldn't help but think to themselves that this newcomer named Gu Chao was probably very clever. To be aware of this method wasn't particularly difficult, but being able to come up with it on the spot when facing Xiong Wu's horse and then putting it into action - that was truly a mark of exceptional intelligence.

  The mist on the river made her eyes light up.

  And the little fish's eyes lit up, this kid is worth cultivating.

  Xiong Wu burst into a long laugh: "Newbie, your name is Gu Chao, right? I'll remember this name until next time I defeat you. Haha, this time I lost, but next time I'll find you again to fight." Although he lost, Xiong Wu was still quite happy. But now the problem arose - Xiong Wu had a token on hand, which he had mentioned earlier. He was currently badly injured, and this was an opportunity. At that moment, countless onlookers looked at Xiong Wu like hungry wolves, many of them placing their hands on the handles of their knives.

  Xiong Wu stared coldly at the side for a while, and people who were not afraid of him usually shrank back involuntarily. However, thinking of the temptation of Xiantian Cave, they still decided to stick their heads out.

  Xiong Wu put his hand into his bosom, and the crowd watched Xiong Wu's movements, fearing that something unexpected would happen. Xiong Wu took out a token from his bosom: "It seems that many people want this token, so go ahead and grab it." Xiong Wu threw the token to where there were the most people, and immediately a fierce fight broke out in that place.

  Gu Chao looked at Xiong Wu: "The token is abandoned just like that? Isn't it a pity?"

  Xiong Wu slung his long sword over his shoulder: "There's nothing to regret, anyway I can rechallenge in three days. As long as my injuries are a bit better, it'll be easy to grab a token then." Xiong Wu's strength was basically at the peak of the Later Heaven realm, and there were only a few outer disciples of the Taishan Sect who could beat him, so he dared to say such bold words.

  Xiong Wu, carrying a long knife, was about to leave when the boss's wife, Xiao Yu, came over: "Compensation for damages, I've calculated it earlier. Xiong Wu, you broke half of the tables and chairs on the second floor, plus the wine and dishes, so you owe 100 taels of silver. Gu Chao, you damaged the floor, so you owe 50 taels of silver."

  The beautiful young woman's hand stretched out, her skin was fair and tender, seemingly without any martial arts training.

  Xiong Wu remembered the legend of the old boss's abdomen and honestly took out 100 taels of silver.

  Gu Chao was also very calm and took out 50 taels to compensate for the damage to the wine house.

  ……

  Xiong Wu left, and this year's repair of things is extremely efficient. An hour later, the Silver Fish Tower had already been repaired.

  Gu Chao continued sitting at the window seat on the second floor of the wine tower, sipping a light wine with his left hand, waiting for the next challenge.

  At the entrance of the stairs, another eighteen or nineteen-year-old senior brother rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

  He should be using the second-order martial art of Taishan Liu Pan Dao Fa, which is also a knife method of the Ba Dao system. This move should be called Liu Pan Xiong Hun, it's a very powerful and practical move, but the flaw is right there. Gu Chao's eyes narrowed slightly, his right hand moved lightly, the red copper long knife cut through the air, bringing up a knife light, first stabbing at the person's throat. The attacker saw Gu Chao's knife method directly stabbing at his throat, and his heart suddenly became urgent, hastily defending against Gu Chao's knife. However, as soon as his knife was raised to defend, Gu Chao's knife had already turned around, reaching the back of this senior brother. With a single strike of the knife's back, a loud "peng" sound shook the air, and with great force, he sent this senior brother flying onto the street.

  In fact, by constantly accepting various challenges here, Gu Chao can also clearly feel his own progress.

  This progress is an experiential one, originally the framework was less complete, especially when interacting with others it was clearly much less, but now Gu Chao interacts with others much more than before.

  The original ancient super is like an unwhetted rough knife.

  And now, after so many people have challenged it and sharpened it on a whetstone, the knife has become even sharper.

  This is the current state of Gu Chao.

  Yu Douliao finished off another opponent, Gu Chao took out paper and pen, and wrote down the experience and feelings of this battle.

  He would write down every battle he had observed and every battle he had fought with paper and pen, and then repeatedly ponder over them, causing his combat experience to continuously rise. This was one of Gu Chao's habits.

  People need to think more and come up with more solutions in order to rush towards the top faster.

  Relying solely on the mysterious small knife's strange encounter, everything is quite done, and it's already good to be alive, but still wanting to rush to the top.

  After finishing this battle, I seriously analyzed it for a while, drinking silver bottle wine while analyzing.

  Gu Chao's eyebrows furrowed for a moment, then suddenly lit up with realization.

  Actually, Gu Chao has been making progress all along, using various methods to continuously improve his strength in all aspects. Gu Chao's focus was so intense that the girl named Yi Shuiwu beside him kept staring at him, but he didn't notice. Of course, if someone had malicious intentions towards Gu Chao and wanted to make a move, Gu Chao would immediately draw his sword. Even when taking notes or pondering over problems while looking at his notes, Gu Chao's right hand was still placed on the hilt of his sword.

  And just now Gu Chao's knife sent a senior brother flying onto the street, while the onlookers beside the street were already counting.

  "It's the twenty-ninth person already."

  "Time flies, it's already twenty-nine."

  "This ancient super is too powerful, too majestic. Sitting here in the wine tower, he has defeated 29 people who challenged him, including masters like Liu Ze and even stronger ones like Xiong Wu."

  "My goodness, newcomers are really something else."

  The crowd of onlookers was also counting, watching Gu Chao sitting on the top floor of the wine tower, and seeing how many people he could defeat in a row. At this moment, no one dared to underestimate Gu Chao because he had only been practicing for ten months.
