The Word of Heaven

Chapter 325 Dojo World

Chapter 325 Dojo World
It has been raining, and the atmosphere is not harmonious.

The barren mountain under the night sky is as quiet as a grave.

Zhexue was no longer the ordinary sword in Chu Jun's hand. Countless raindrops fell on the sword but failed to cause any ripples. The aura was as deep as the sea.

The winter wind brought with it cold rain, fading the heat in the eunuch leader's heart.

He stared at Zhexue, his eyes becoming brighter as he became calmer. He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Demon Lord."

Chu Jun and Xie Yinglian were both surprised.

Both Gu Zhuo's late arrival and the eunuch leader's attitude at this moment were beyond their expectations.

However, if you think about it a little more deeply, these are actually very reasonable things - there is no omniscient existence in this world. If there really is one, it must no longer be a human being. The appearance of Gu Zhuo is certainly surprising, and the eunuch leader, as a close minister of the White Emperor, knows very well how powerful His Majesty is, and he should also know how great the Demon Lord is, and he should be in awe of him.

"I'm going to kill your people next."

The eunuch leader raised his head and looked at Zhexue, his expression still respectful, and said: "Please believe me, the full preparations I have made for this are enough to make it impossible for you to stop me now."

The voice came out from the snow again: "Really?"

The eunuch leader answered honestly, "Because there are two people you need to protect."

As he spoke, the formation gradually closed in the drizzle of cold rain. The door of life and death remained open, silently waiting for the incoming guests.

"I want to see you."

The eunuch leader paused and said, "You can also understand that I need a chance to kill you."

The wind blew, whistling shrilly.

The rain is getting heavier.

The snow is even quieter than before.

The eunuch leader was very disappointed. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I won't wait indefinitely."

There were inexplicable dark clouds floating over the dry mountain, and the rain was coming from them. The edges of the clouds were coated with a layer of faint silver light, which should be the glow of the bright moon tonight.

As a result, the raindrops contain extremely faint light, which cannot penetrate the layers of darkness between the mountains and forests, and shatter into pieces in silence.

"Eighteen breaths."

An icy voice flowed out from the old eunuch's mouth, bringing with it the biting chill of deep winter.

Chu Jun lowered his head, his delicate brows furrowed in pain, which effectively concealed the confusion that existed at the same time.

Xie Yinglian was unlike her. He stared at Zhe Xue without blinking, as if he was thinking about a problem.

Time will not stop because of human will. When the eunuch leader said the number eighteen, the other eunuchs finally made their own voices heard, reciting the number without any emotion.

By the thirteenth time, Zhexue finally made a new voice, still proud and calm.

"I was thinking of finding an opportunity to sneak attack you and kill you, but you are much better than I expected, so it is really inconvenient for me to do it."

A sneak attack is undoubtedly a dirty word, but at this moment it is said so openly.

No matter who comes to listen, they must admit that this is the bearing of a master that a demon lord should have, which can be described as profound and majestic.

"Then let's have a fight."

The sound is lonely in the rain.

The tip of Zhexue's sword was slightly raised, pointing directly at the eunuch leader's eyebrows.

The air was filled with high spirits, and the raindrops in the sky along with the glimmer of light hidden in them were split into two in an instant.

Before this powerful force that was invisible to the naked eye descended upon this place, the eunuch leader had already reacted.

Even though he had the greatest respect for Gu Zhuo, he still couldn't help but feel surprised at this moment, because only the sword was there, but the person was gone.

Such a terrifying and sharp sword intent came without any warning, the eunuch leader had to believe that his previous words were true.

He allowed his robe, which an ordinary flying sword could not leave any trace on, to be cut open, and instead of retreating, he advanced closer to Zhe Xue.

During this process, he did not even look at Chu Jun and Xie Yinglian, because it no longer mattered.

Given the Demon Lord's arrogant temperament, once he has decided to draw his sword, there is no reason for him to stop.

This is what the eunuch leader thought.

The scene of sword force flying across the sky, cutting through millions of raindrops and ready to strike is a fact.

However, what happened next left Kushan silent.

At the moment when the eunuch leader was about to grasp the blade of Zhexue sword, the sword body suddenly bent to the extreme, and passed through the clothes of Chu Jun and Xie Yinglian like a swimming fish, lifting them up together, and then the sword body returned to its original position.

The powerful force that burst out between the back and forth was cleverly applied to the two girls, allowing them to forcibly break through the formation and travel far away.

It all happened in an instant and no one had time to stop it, including the eunuch leader.

It was not until half a day later that a loud noise suddenly exploded in the sky above the dry mountain, and a ball of white fog with a gap in the center appeared in everyone's eyes.

The eunuch leader's hand fell on Zhexue.

The sword cut his skin, and warm blood flowed out, mixing with the rain and dripping.

The sword intent from a moment ago no longer existed, and the flying sword no longer had any magical powers.

The dry mountain was silent.

The clouds dispersed and the cold rain stopped silently.

It was like a dream.

An eunuch said with an unpleasant expression: "Demon Lord... How can the Demon Lord be so shameless?"

The eunuch leader said nothing.

He loosened his hand and let Zhexue sink into the soil. He recalled the previous scene and gradually became confused.

……

The ding-dong sound stopped.

Pei Jinge supported his chin with his left hand and gave an order to his subordinates who were guarding outside the carriage.

After a while, the convoy that had been stopped for several hours began to move forward, and the congestion on the official road was finally relieved.

The deacons of the Sky Patrol Department did not dare to look at the chariot, and remained focused on the matters at hand. However, they could not help but wonder what had happened and why the head of the department made the decision.

Pei Jinge naturally wouldn't give any explanation.

She just thought rain was boring, especially rain in winter, which was freezing cold.

It’s better to have a sunny day.

Whether it is the thousands of golden leaves in the East China Sea or the warm morning glow on Baidi Mountain, they are better than a rainy day.

Pei Jinge suddenly wondered, is it inevitable that people will fall in love with the sun when they get older?

……

That sword move was of the utmost perfection.

He froze the formation silently with the cold rain all over the sky, and then cut out an imperceptible gap with the sword intent, and then took advantage of the opportunity of accumulating sword power to allow Chu Jun and Xie Yinglian to leave.

The two of them even ended up falling into a lake instead of a solid cliff.

When they swam to the island in the middle of the lake, Chu Jun and Xie Yinglian's clothes were already wet.

The two seriously injured people had exhausted their vital energy. They did not bother to hide in the cover of night and struggled to light a bonfire, which only gave them some relief.

Suddenly, at some point, Xie Yinglian looked at Chu Jun and said, "I can't figure it out..."

Chu Jun said expressionlessly: "Don't talk."

Xie Yinglian was a little annoyed and said, "Only..."

Chu Jun stared into her eyes and said seriously, "Shut up."

Xie Yinglian thought, if what you and I speculated is true, and she was the one who made the move, then why could she use Zhexue?

Does this mean that the relationship between these two people is much closer than you and I thought?
Then, Xie Yinglian thought about the relationship between Gu Zhuo and the eldest princess, and his eyes became extremely strange.

……

The night is dark.

This is the second hour after the rain stopped in Kushan.

The eunuch leader did not leave.

The stream no longer exists, and fallen leaves are scattered among the gravel and soil, covered by the sparse and cold moonlight after the rain clouds have dispersed.

The seventeen eunuchs were searching for the scent left by the two men, deciding whether to chase and kill them or give up and turn back.

The eunuch leader looked at Zhexue quietly.

The dull sword prevented him from looking into the sword's eyes and understanding his expression at the moment, but he knew it must be unpleasant.

A thought appeared in his mind, but he had no evidence to prove it was true.

"It's ridiculous."

The eunuch leader sighed and sarcastically said, "Or is this actually a kind of inheritance?"

After saying this, he signaled to his disciples that they didn't need to waste any more time and could leave.

Since the other party has decided to take action, it is impossible for them to leave any traces.

Just as the eunuch leader was about to grab Zhexue and leave with the flying sword, a voice came from afar.

"Excuse me, could you please leave my sword here?"

……

A man came from the west walking on the moon.

The man who came made the eunuch leader think about him day and night. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night. He wished that they could stay together forever in the coffin.

Of course, that person was Gu Zhuo.

The eunuch leader looked at the man in black, and saw the dirt brought by the long journey between the sleeves. His eyes were slightly confused, and he wondered if he had guessed wrong?
If his guess was wrong, then... with the Demon Lord's current level, could he actually control the flying sword from hundreds of miles away and bring down that cold rain?
This fact is too horrible.

As his thoughts turned, Gu Zhuo had already arrived at the cliff of Kushan Mountain.

The seventeen eunuchs formed a new formation with Zhexue as the center.

The eunuch leader looked at Gu Zhuo and had a lot to say, but in the end, only one sentence came out of his mouth.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

It no longer matters whether it was Pei Jinge who rescued Chu Jun and Xie Yinglian. As long as he kills the Demon Lord tonight, everything will be solved and the world will be at peace. I think Your Majesty will be very happy.

……

Gu Zhuo felt a little emotional.

After solving the first of the three questions, not only did all his realms in this life return to normal, he was also able to enter the state of unity.

According to secular rules, practitioners who have reached the Guiyi Realm are undoubtedly truly powerful. They can be guests of honor wherever they are and can gain the respect of the vast majority of people.

The two higher realms of Wuqi and Enlightenment are often the top figures in major forces and are rarely seen.

Unfortunately, the first battle after he finally recovered his realm was against someone at the Enlightenment Realm.

Gu Zhuo suppressed his thoughts and said nothing.

With one step, his figure disappeared into the night. When he reappeared, there was a splash before the wind could even rush.

The sound of "thump" came from the chest of a certain eunuch, originated from Gu Zhuo's palm, and the heart was directly shattered.

Everything happens in just a moment.

Gu Zhuo closed his hands.

The dead eunuch flew backwards and disappeared.

The eunuch leader appeared in front of Gu Zhuo and suppressed him with his palm.

A huge shadow that was completely different from the palm covered Gu Zhuo's entire body, making it impossible to avoid the palm and he had to take it head-on.

Gu Zhuo's eyes were calm as he threw a punch.

Snapped.

There was a very light crisp sound as the fists and palms met.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Zhuo began to retreat.

The eunuch leader stepped forward.

The terrifying force as heavy as the falling of a rock was transmitted in the most direct way, entering Gu Zhuo's fist, then his arm, and then his shoulder.

boom!
A wave of air burst out from his fist, and Gu Zhuo's breath suddenly dropped. It was obvious that he was at a disadvantage in this fight.

The gap in realm between them has been clearly revealed!
There was no pain in Gu Zhuo's eyes. He calmly let the eunuch leader's power spread throughout his body, increasing the speed of his retreat.

After what happened just now, how could the eunuch leader stop and give someone a chance to escape?
Without hesitation, he raised his true energy again, following Gu Zhuo closely like a thorn in the flesh, and struck out again with his palm.

At the same time, the remaining sixteen eunuchs were not affected by the death of their companions, and their formation actually became tighter.

Several black shadows made a sound of breaking through the air, intertwining in the air and forming a wall.

The wall was right behind Gu Zhuo.

The wall is made of iron chains, shaped like an iron chain across a river, and is indestructible.

The eunuch leader's fist is the rushing river.

Sitting between the two is Gu Zhuo.

If an ordinary practitioner at the Return to Oneness Realm faced with such an attack, the only outcome would be destruction.

Even Gu Zhuo would be injured.

The eunuch leader was absolutely sure of this.

Gu Zhuo suddenly stopped and raised his palm to meet the fist.

This scene is so similar to the previous one.

However, with such a hasty attack, even if relying on the special feature of the Balance of Heaven and Earth, so that the true essence does not decay at all, how can it bridge the gap of a large realm?
No matter how you look at it, this is an extremely unwise choice. The eunuch leader will naturally not miss this opportunity. He pours out his tremendous true energy, wanting to take this opportunity to seriously injure Gu Zhuo.

Gu Zhuo stood still, allowing the fist to come at him and engaging in a stalemate.

At this moment, a sword light flashed into the eyes of the eunuch leader from behind.

That was the long-silent snow.

The eunuch leader's expression remained unchanged and he was as calm as before, which showed that he was well prepared.

If Zhe Xue was going to kill him, there would be a surprise waiting for Gu Zhuo.

The next moment, the eunuch leader's eyes changed suddenly.

The flying sword passed by him without bringing up any blood, but during the brief stalemate between him and Gu Zhuo, it wiped across the throats of the sixteen eunuchs.

Sixteen blood flowers blossomed one after another. Before his disciples could even scream, their heads all fell off their necks and landed on the slightly damp ground.

The formation was suddenly broken, and the iron chains that were suspended in the air fell to the ground with a heavy sound.

Boom!

Gu Zhuo no longer stalemated with the eunuch leader and flew out backwards.

Blood flowed from his lips, but his eyes did not change and remained calm.

On the way back, he grabbed the returning Zhexue and thrust it into the ground, forcibly stopping himself.

A gully about thirty feet long appeared on the dry mountain.

A few more feet away is a cliff.

Gu Zhuo stood up.

He raised his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and dusted off the dust on his clothes.

The eunuch leader looked at him, suddenly laughed, and asked, "Why don't you take advantage of the situation and leave?"

Gu Zhuo said calmly: "That's not necessary."

"and……"

There was a hint of weariness in his voice: "This approach doesn't make any sense to me."

The eunuch leader felt very sorry.

An extremely sharp aura rose from beneath the cliff.

That was a foreshadowing he had been preparing for a long time.

If Gu Zhuo took advantage of the situation to retreat, he would be seriously injured by now.

"It looks like the battle tonight will last a long time."

A voice sounded from behind Gu Zhuo.

No different from the eunuch leader.

What rose from behind the cliff was not only a breath, but also a eunuch, or a corpse.

At the same time, the corpses whose heads were ripped off by flying swords stood up from the mud.

Gu Zhuo watched the scene quietly.

The bright moon dimmed again.

The withered mountain fell into darkness again.

In the darkness, the sound of chains being dragged began to be heard, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, which was heart-wrenching.

All dead things have come alive in this world.

Thirty feet away, the eunuch leader smiled at Gu Zhuo and said, "This is my dojo. It is also a fact that only His Majesty the Emperor knows. It is my biggest reason for daring to try to kill you."

……

No one knew that the eunuch leader was actually a powerful man who had practiced Taoism.

Great figures as famous as Qing Xiaoyue and General Wang were unable to take this step on the path of cultivation, and regretted it for the rest of their lives.

One of the reasons why the former director of the Imperial Observatory held such an extraordinary status was that he had the hope of establishing a Taoist temple and attempting to take the step towards enlightenment in the distant future.

There has never been an example in the spiritual world of a practitioner being defeated in the spiritual field.

During the Weiyang Palace Incident, the battle between Qing Xiaoyue and Nan Zong was perhaps the closest to breaking the iron rule, but the former was ultimately defeated.

The eunuch leader was certain that Gu Zhuo was only at the Guiyi realm now, so it was impossible for him to break this iron rule.

"It's quite unexpected."

In the darkness, Gu Zhuo's voice sounded, with some emotion.

He said softly: "I didn't expect you could practice martial arts with your imperfect body."

The eunuch leader had mixed feelings, including the joy of being praised and the bitterness of recalling the past. He said seriously, "You are the first person to know this fact, and also the last one."

"but……"

Gu Zhuo asked in confusion: "Why do you think I don't have a dojo?"

As he finished speaking, he raised his sword to the sky.

……

The withered mountain is no longer dark.

The dark clouds came again, and the wind and rain came suddenly with torrential rain.

In the heavy rain, the snow in Gu Zhuo's hand bloomed with such clear light.

That is the light of the bright moon.

The infinite moonlight rose up like a deep sword, illuminating the darkness.

The rain was falling, but the whole world seemed to be burning at this moment.

The eunuch leader was so shocked when he saw this scene that he was speechless.

Gu Zhuo stood in the heavy rain without getting his clothes wet.

"Although I didn't say that in Cangzhou, how could you be so stupid as to know nothing about it?"

He said: "My dojo is the entire human world as you know it."

As soon as the words were spoken, the sword fell.

The sword pointed at the eunuch leader.

Countless raindrops suddenly stopped, as if flowing away like a river, and the moonlight burned with an extremely dazzling silver glow.

The eunuch leader used his apprentice's body to set up a formation and blocked the way.

In just a moment, the seventeen corpses were shattered by the raindrops, and not a trace of blood, flesh or bones was left.

The momentum of the rain has not diminished.

The eunuch leader suddenly shouted angrily, went upstream and crashed into the rain.

The two dojos confronted each other in the most direct way. The darkness surrounding the old body continued to dissipate, but the rain did not slow down at all.

The eunuch leader ignored all of this, ignoring the raindrops like sword blades that cut wounds on his body and seeped into his bone marrow, bringing him extreme pain like slow slicing.

With great tenacity and endurance, he crossed a distance of more than twenty feet...

Gu Zhuo’s sword arrived.

All the wind and rain in the sky return to one.

On the sword's edge.

A sword pierces the heart.

Then, Gu Zhuo drew his sword.

The eunuch leader, covered in wounds and in tattered clothes, fell down helplessly and would soon die.

Gu Zhuo coughed lightly twice, then walked past him with his sword in hand.

At this moment, the eunuch leader's voice sounded hoarsely, filled with helplessness and confusion.

"How can you kill now?"

"Three more of you..."

Gu Zhuo thought for a moment and added, "Or maybe one who has ascended to the immortal realm."
