Chapter 64: There are still people who haven’t given up!

A powerful force came suddenly.

The gray duck used its body as a knife and rushed to Chen Guzhou in the blink of an eye. Its beak was as sharp as a blade and its blood and energy turned into a blade, piercing straight into his heart.

"Thirty-four thunder sounds?"

Chen Guzhou's expression suddenly became serious.

It was more serious than when he killed the Yellow Shirted Swordsman half a year ago, and than when he fought against the Fisherman on the Tengkong Tower last year.

Between the lightning and flint.

A sword was handed out.

The dazzling purple sword light flickered and seemed to break through the gate of heaven in an instant, leaving a graceful trajectory in the air. The moment it met the duck's beak, it swung, pulled, and bounced.

Three changes occurred at incredible angles, continuously dissipating the tremendous force of tens of thousands of pounds on the sword.

however.

Half a year ago, Song Lin was able to kill a Tianshui Tower Gangqi Realm warrior with his Infant Dragon Heart. Now, with the 34th roar of Thunder Sound and the gathering of the Gluttonous Heart, his strength has completely surpassed that of the past by many times.

The power of this blow finally exploded!

boom! ! !
The Zhenyu Sword was bent into a half moon, and the sword body was shaking wildly, as if it was about to break but couldn't.

next moment.

A terrifying burst of light, sword light, and fire light obscured everyone's vision.

In a trance.

Everyone only saw a gray shadow breaking through the sword light and rushing into Chen Guzhou's chest, allowing countless sword lights to fall on his body and moving forward.

Bang bang bang~~
A figure retreated from the dust, his footsteps were as heavy as a mountain, leaving seven deep footprints on the stone steps.

blood.

blood.

A plum blossom-shaped pool of blood spread across Chen Guzhou's chest.

he got hurt.

This time, I was really hurt!

Flesh and blood were torn apart inside the collar.

A bright red heart beat slowly and powerfully. Just a little bit, his heart was about to be pierced by the duck's beak.

Really just a little bit off.

Without unlocking the third boundary.

A long-lost feeling filled his heart, and Chen Guzhou couldn't help but recall the day a year ago when he flew upstairs... Now this duck is more than ten times stronger than the fisherman back then.
The way of Qi and blood, the power of the body.

The terrifying force broke through his sword and opened his heart.

It already has a strength comparable to the third level of Gangqi, 'Hunyuan Pass'.

Really...interesting!
"Wow—"

A gray shadow suddenly rushed out of the dust.

The gray duck was covered in blood and attacked Chen Guzhou again.

"Life is over, frosty wind makes grass sad. I use my sword to ask you when you will return." Purple air suddenly covered the sword. Chen Guzhou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his figure was like a banished immortal walking in the mortal world. He met the attack of Gray Duck with a sword.

Dang~~
The sound of metal and iron is melodious.

The sword shadows in the sky turned into a mortal sword net, firmly controlling the figure of Gray Duck.

At sunset, on the lakeside.

The river water reflects the orange sunlight.

Chen Guzhou used the long sword in his hand to demonstrate what peerless swordsmanship was to the group of Gangqi realm masters who had arrived late.

Perfect trajectory, clever amplitude.

He struck out with one sword after another, like an antelope hanging its horns without leaving any trace, easily dismantling the gray duck and bombarding it again and again.

"Wow!!!"

A terrifying cry suddenly drowned out all other sounds.

The gray duck turned back and forth countless times in the air in an instant, and its wings, webbed feet, beak... all turned into means of attack, launching a crazy offensive against Chen Guzhou.

"what?"

Chen Guzhou's expression changed slightly, but his sword moves became more and more calm.

Faced with an attack that was several times more violent than before, he actually seemed more comfortable?
Anxious.

The gray duck became anxious.

Yes.

Song Lin became anxious.

His heart sank.

At this moment, he finally understood Sun Er's situation at the time.

In the previous fight with Chen Guzhou, he was just assisting Sun Er from the side. In the past, he could not understand how strong Chen Guzhou's sword was.

Now, he understood a little.

Yes.

Just a little bit.

That impeccable sword force, although clearly many times weaker than his, was able to always neutralize his attacks at incredible angles.

Because he only understood a little bit, he understood more clearly what kind of despair Sun Er had experienced. It was a despair that could not be seen at a glance, a kind of self-pity and deep powerlessness...

The so-called "just a little difference" is the distance between heaven and earth! That is a distance that he could never catch up with even if he practiced Qi and blood for a lifetime and tempered his bones with thunder sounds forty or fifty times...

From the beginning.

He took the wrong path.

Duck-killing fate… When the gluttonous fate, the red dragon fate, and the crazy ghost fate overwhelmed the bird-watching and spiritual rush, when he focused on qi and blood, neglected the duck-killing knife, and neglected the practice of swordsmanship.

It was destined... to take the wrong path!
It is impossible to kill Chen Guzhou with just blood, flesh and strength. It is also impossible to kill Chen Guzhou, whose fate is beyond Ming Huang.

But why!
I have worked so hard in this life, pushing myself to the point of madness and paying the price of countless blood and sweat.

Why can't I beat him?
Is it because my fate is not as good as his?
Not reconciled!
I can’t accept this!!!
"Wow—"

The long, mournful cry echoed throughout Qingyuan Lake, throughout Minjiang Prefecture, and throughout... the sky.

fire!
Endless flames suddenly surged. The gray duck spread its wings and cried loudly in the deep red flames transformed from its blood and qi.

boom!
The gluttonous heart suddenly tightened, and then... the violent fire in his heart instantly erupted from the inside out!
The gray shadow suddenly fell.

Like a setting sun in the sky... falling into an endless abyss.

The last blow, a last gamble!
Swah——

A long sword suddenly enlarged before his eyes.

Purple sword energy condensed on the tip of the sword, and it lightly slashed seventeen times in an instant.

Gala~~
A slight cracking sound was heard in Chen Guzhou's chest.

"Why bother?" He sighed softly, put his hand across his chest, and actually suppressed the unlocking of the third level.

To deal with such an opponent, the second level of limit is sufficient.

There seemed to be the cry of geese in the sky.

The purple sword energy easily cut through the sunset, like a lone goose flapping its wings. Thousands of flying feathers turned into endless sword energy, like a purple galaxy spanning the sky.

A lone wild goose flies in the snow, soaring proudly into the sky.

A blood-stained figure fell far below the yellow reed bank and smashed into countless mud.

Lost.

The gray duck stared blankly at the sunset in the sky, its eyes seemingly without a trace of life.

ended.

everything is over.

He didn't even force Chen Guzhou to break the third seal.

The whole world gradually darkened, and the sun...set.

Ta da~
A footstep came from afar.

Song Lin didn't move.

He has given up.

Give up completely.

but……

"The swordsman of Ba Dao Sect, Weng Cong, has come to avenge my junior brother."

"Qinghe, a swordsman without a sect or name, please give me some advice, Lord Governor."

"In Minjiang Prefecture, the people of Wangyu Village all call me Wang Qifeng, the righteous and public-spirited person."

"I, I'm just a fisherman by the Minjiang River..."

As the sun sets, one after another, figures, some powerful, some ordinary, stand out.

It turns out...someone hasn't given up yet.

But the result was already determined when Chen Guzhou raised the sword in his hand.

-

The night was dark.

The river is surging.

A duck with broken wings floats in the river, drifting downstream with the waves.

Its body was covered with countless sword marks, and the river water was stained with blood, which could not be washed away no matter how many times the waves washed it.

for a long time.

The teal slowly raised its head and seemed to see a small house by the river.

It swam hard, climbed up the shore, and dragged its body towards the hut step by step. It was clear that it had no strength left, but its body seemed to be supported by some kind of obsession, moving forward step by step.

at last.

The dim little house was in sight.

crunch~~
In the hut.

The teal left a long trail of blood on the ground and finally crawled to a figure in the dark with difficulty.

"Gah..."

I am back.

The obsession in his heart dissipated, and the duck fluttered and fell in front of the fisherman, just like many years ago when it had just flown out of the duck shed and fell to the ground.

It's a pity this time.

No one picked it up anymore.

"Quack~~" The duck suddenly laughed, but its laugh was weak and low.

It was also a bitter smile.

this moment.

It finally understood something and knew why it came back here.

Parents are here, there is still a place in life.

When the parents go, there is only the way back in life.

In this world, it still has a relative, a friend, and a companion. So it came back. Before it dies, it just wants to come back and take a look at its only companion in two lives...

this moment.

Song Lin finally fully understood Sun Er's past mental journey.

His whole life was actually a journey home. His whole life was supported by the persistence of revenge. When he finally understood the desperate distance between him and Chen Guzhou.

All obsessions suddenly lost their meaning at that moment.

Such a life is really not as good as heading home.

A despairing journey home.

"Quack~~" The duck leaned its head on the fisherman's knees and moaned softly.

The whole world gradually fell into darkness. Its body and soul seemed to be wrapped in a cocoon of darkness, and no light could be seen anymore.

until……

In the darkness, a pair of warm hands gently lifted its body.
