Chapter 89 Another Victory!
In the past, who would have cared about what kind of formidable figure emerged from the tenth mountain village.
Now, Gu Chao has won 29 consecutive games, especially after defeating strong players like Liu Zhe and Wu Xiong, Gu Chao can be said to have made a name for himself among all the post-heavenly outer sect disciples of Zhongxifeng.
Fewer and fewer people came to challenge Gu Chao, after all, losing once meant not being able to participate in the competition for three days, and the possibility of losing to this newcomer was just too great.
However, the quota license plates are too expensive, and it is obviously impossible for these people to give up.
The sky gradually darkened.
The sun sets in the west.
All the other shops on Business Street had to close early! Gu Chao thought for a moment, it seemed that he would have to go somewhere else to spend the night. Just as Gu Chao was about to get up, the beautiful and single owner of the wine house, Xiaoyu, walked over with a smile: "Guest, you don't have to close early today, you can continue staying here." This Xiaoyu's smile was truly not ordinary, it should be the most gentle smile Gu Chao had ever seen. In his past life, Gu Chao had met countless beauties online and in reality, but none of them had this kind of gentle temperament. But why did he hear that this gentle owner had a rumor of being ruthless?
But it's also good if you don't pretend.
Continue waiting here at the Silver Fish Tower, and as many challenges there are, they will be met right here.
The boss's wife, Little Fish, considerately found a rocking chair for Gu Chao, which could be used for sleeping. After all, warriors need to sleep at night too. Gu Chao thanked her and sat down on the rocking chair, holding the hilt of his sword with his right hand. At this moment, he saw the boss's wife Little Fish packing up and leaving, and couldn't help but ask: "Oh, are you going back?"
The boss's wife, Little Fish, gave Gu Chao a very beautiful smile: "Of course, we should go home and rest now. For a woman, especially a young and beautiful one, sleep is a very important thing. I'm afraid of getting dark circles under my eyes." Her voice was extremely gentle.
Gu Chao shrugged and said, "Well, if that's how it is, then I'll just stay here by myself."
The sky had turned completely dark without anyone noticing.
A quiet night.
Ancient superiors sat in this position can look up at the starry sky.
The starry sky unfolding above the ancient super. The sky is not purely black, but a deep blue that shines through the darkness, extending from where the eye can see to infinity. In the night sky, there is no moon, only countless stars twinkling in the void. Those stars, some bright and some dim, large and small, flickering on and off.
The night sky is so profound, and the stars are still shining brightly.
Gǔ Chāo suddenly recalled the past stories on Earth. Having been in this world for about ten months, the things that happened on Earth before are still vivid in his mind. Actually, Gǔ Chāo had recorded the things on Earth in English a long time ago, fearing that as he stayed longer in this world, he would gradually forget the things of that world, and the life on Earth was also a part of his own memories. The reason for recording in English is even simpler. Gǔ Chāo likes to record some confidential things in different languages. For example, he recorded many things about his past life on Earth in English, his research in French, and he also has German and other languages at hand.
Of course, Gu Chao still spoke most of the time in this world's language, lest he be mistaken for a dangerous person by those with ulterior motives.
Looking at the night sky, thinking about past life things, and then thinking about this life's things, Gu Chao also gradually felt drowsiness creeping over his mind.
Before he knew it, Gu Chao had fallen asleep.
After fighting for a day, it's normal to gradually fall into a deep sleep.
While Gu Chao was asleep, in the darkness there seemed to be a black shadow. The black shadow did not come out but instead hid deep within the farthest reaches of the darkness.
Gu Chao had really fallen asleep. Gu Chao must sleep, after all, there were still nine days left, and if he didn't sleep, he wouldn't be able to hold on until then.
Time is passing bit by bit.
Unconsciously, Gu Chao had already fallen asleep for a whole hour.
The shadow in the darkness moved lightly, gliding quietly over to Gu Chao's side. At the same time, the shadow in the darkness displayed a kind of footwork that was quite bewildering and made it hard to see clearly, and also displayed a set of quiet and confusing knife techniques.
Footwork like fog, swordplay like fog.
Second-level martial skill: Fog Concealment Footwork, Second-level martial skill: Fog Concealment Sword Technique.
This person was none other than Xu Zhi, a disciple of the Outer Gate who specialized in reconnaissance and was quite skilled at launching deceptive attacks.
Xu Chi is actually a relatively well-known figure among the outer sect disciples.
Liu Ze went to the extreme of speed, Xiong Wu went to the extreme of dominance, and Xu Chi actually approached the extreme of illusionary attacks. The three had their own specialties. In fact, among the outer disciples of the Post-Heaven Realm, there were also very few people who could match their strength. However, those individuals basically all had command tokens in their hands.
Xu Chi saw that Liu Ze and Xiong Wu had fallen to Gu Chao's hands one after another during the day, so he naturally wouldn't choose to fight Gu Chao head-on. Moreover, fighting head-on wasn't the policy of a confusing illusion-type attacker like him, so he waited. He waited until nightfall, until Gu Chao fell asleep before making his move.
Xu Chi was certain that Gu Chao had fallen asleep, rather than pretending to be asleep.
The breathing and heartbeat of a person who is pretending to sleep are actually different from those of someone who is really asleep.
Others may not have heard it, but Xú Chí is the backbone of the detective department and has also learned the internal power of the detective department. In addition, he has practiced a unique skill called "Tīng Yīn Gōng" which makes his ears extremely developed, allowing him to hear Gǔ Chāo's heartbeat and breathing as truly asleep. And being asleep for an hour is exactly when one is sleeping soundly, so Xú Chí launches the attack at this time.
This blow will definitely succeed! Xu Chi thought to himself, the token is mine now.
This knife was thrust at Gu Chao with a very faint force, only one foot away from Gu Chao's right shoulder. A warrior would lose combat effectiveness for some time if his right shoulder were disabled. A smile appeared on Xu Chi's face.
"Clang!" A flash of knife light suddenly appeared.
The two swords collided just half a foot above Gu's right shoulder.
Xu Chi suddenly jumped back: "Who?"
"Wo." Gu Chao, who was sleeping, opened his eyes and found that it was indeed himself.
Xu Chi couldn't help but be stunned: "Aren't you asleep? This can't fool me, your heartbeat and breathing are all in a sleeping state."
Gǔ Chāo looked at his opponent, Xú Chí, and found that this opponent was quite thin and pale, with a somewhat melancholic air about him. Choosing to make his move at night, his appearance suggested that he should be an opponent who specialized in confusing and disorienting magic attacks.
Gu Chao nodded: "I was indeed sleeping, but the momentum of your attack startled me awake."Ordinary people wouldn't be so easily awakened, unless they were seasoned warriors with a sixth sense. Gu Chao was far from being a seasoned warrior and didn't have any such intuition. However, after obtaining the mysterious dagger, his spiritual soul became extremely powerful, making him highly sensitive to everything around him. He could detect even the slightest movement or change in his surroundings, so he could still feel Xu Chi's killing intent even while sleeping.
At the same time, Gu Chao quickly memorized it in his mind. It seems that many warriors of the detective system can hear heartbeats and breathing to determine a person's state, which is a point to remember. Gu Chao was gaining experience in battle.
Xu Chi shrugged: "Originally wanted to solve the battle while you were asleep, it seems that's not possible, can only fight head-on now."
"Well, welcome." Gu Chao shrugged and said indifferently.
Xu Chi instantly displayed his footwork and knife techniques, his footwork was like fog, his knife technique was like fog, everything was vague and obscure. Such an attack would be tolerable in the daytime, but now in the dark of night it seemed even more terrifying and difficult to detect. This was also why Xu Chi chose to make his move at night. Once he displayed his knife technique, Xu Chi became very confident.
Dazed and confused, where did you know the knife was going to attack? Xu Chi thought to himself, seeing that he was about to hit Gu Chao again.
"Whoa!" Just as the sword light was about to reach his body, Gu Chao's sword light flashed out and blocked the attack in mid-air. Xu Chi's eyelid twitched - how did Gu Chao know where his sword would pass through? The surrounding fog was dense, and his own sword had been specially treated to be the same color as the fog, making it extremely difficult to distinguish its shape with the Fog Concealing Sword Technique. It must have been a coincidence that Gu Chao blocked this attack.
"Bang!" For the second time, Gu Chao blocked Xu Zhi's attack.
"Bang!" For the third time, Gu Chao blocked Xu Chi's attack again.
If once is a coincidence, twice is a coincidence, then three times should not be a coincidence.
Xu Chi asked: "Can you see through my attack?"
Gu Chao shrugged: "I guess I can, it's my turn next." As mentioned earlier, Gu Chao's divine soul made second-order illusion-type attacks not very useful. Of course, if they were third-order, fourth-order or fifth-order martial skills, that would be a different story.
Gǔ Chāo instantly cut off the attack, and the swift wind knife technique was applied in an instant. For a moment, the wind rose, blowing away the mist, and Gǔ Chāo quickly reached Xu Chí's position, continuously attacking him.
There are three kinds of roots and bones for people.
Among these three roots, the agility system and the reconnaissance system's positive combat are not strong, especially after being broken. Xu Chi is now broken through the mist effect, and is even more forced to retreat by Gu Chao's swift wind knife method, the battle continues, but Gu Chao has the absolute upper hand.
Ko Chōyīshì jífēng sǎoluòyè, zài zhuī le yī jì jífēng zhòuyǔ, zài zài xúchí gōngjī bù jí de shíhòu, yī jì jífēng xúnléi, dāoguāng chuān guòle xúchí de yòujiān, dài qǐ le yīdào xuèguāng.
With a clang, Gu Chao sheathed his sword, there was no need to fight again, his opponent's right shoulder was temporarily disabled.
……
What is hidden in the darkness is not just Xu Chi, many people with detective roots are also hiding.
However, after seeing Gu Chao defeat Xu Zhi, they no longer came out.
Because Xuchiy himself is already one of the strongest in the later stages of the outer door disciples, he can't do it, let alone others.
These people hiding in the dark are all thinking of one thing: why can Gu Chao see through the fog and hidden knife method, does this newcomer have experience dealing with confusing illusion attacks?
Three updates are done, and three updates were made as soon as it was put on shelves, which is quite hardworking for me.
