Chapter 44: Draw? (Master, please read~)
Dust and mist were flying, City Lord Liu and Qi Daodong both stood up and stared.
Their reaction was a moment slower than Gu Yao's. At this time, it was too late to rush into the scene to save people. They could only hope that Gu Yao could stop You Su's sword. Everyone, including the two of them, thought that Wu Cheng would suffer heavy losses in this battle, which made people think about whether this deviated from the original intention of this competition.
When the dust and fog cleared, the three people appeared in the field. Gu Yao supported the two young men on the left and the right.
Wu Cheng actually didn't need support. Except for the trauma on his waist and some damage to his clothes, his face was even considered clean. On the contrary, You Su was not only being supported, but also holding himself up with sword points. There was a ferocious and painful expression on his face. His two robes and pants had been torn to pieces below the knees, revealing several black wounds inside.
Everyone was a little surprised, wondering why You Su's amazing sword didn't hurt Wu Cheng at all, but seemed to hit themselves. But there are also many people who see the mystery, and among them Qi Daodong's expression is the most complicated.
He and City Master Liu looked at each other. City Master Liu understood, his wrinkles were piled together and he gave Qi Daodong a reassuring smile.
In the middle of the field, Gu Yao secretly and slowly introduced the gentle Xuan Qi into the two bodies from the palm of his hand, while announcing loudly:
"The winner has been decided, Yuanyang Sword Sect, You Su Sheng !”
Some people on the sidelines were in disbelief, some were silent, some were angry, and more people applauded enthusiastically for this wonderful and ups and downs battle, thanking this competition for bringing them. of shock.
Gu Yao took out two more elixirs with flowing medicinal light and handed them to the two of them. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"The top-grade elixir not only stops bleeding but also helps wounds heal quickly. , take it quickly and don’t bear the pain.”
“Thank you, Master Gu.” Wu Cheng remained polite.
You Su reached out to take it, but he didn't have the energy to say thank you. He just nodded slightly to indicate that Gu Yao didn't care and looked at You Su with a satisfied expression.
At this moment, Lord Yanagi also applauded enthusiastically. He smiled and said:
"Okay! As expected of our young man from Izumo City! It is true that he is better than his predecessor! He is so powerful at this age, even in the sacred mountains, he is already worthy of the name of "Tianjiao". The future is promising! It’s time!”
Infected by his words, the cheers of the audience became even louder. Both the monks and the common people were honored and showed increasing appreciation and respect for the two young men in the field.
"Senior Brother Gu, as the city lord of Izumo City, I am really moved by the battle between the two of them today. For this reason, I have a heartless request! I hope that senior brother will agree!" City Lord Liu He said with an upright look.
Gu Yao secretly felt that something was wrong, and his face turned gloomy. He didn’t understand what City Lord Liu was trying to do at this time, and he even deliberately took out his identity as the City Lord of Izumo City.
"It's okay, Lord Liu," City Lord Liu heard, clasped his hands behind his back, and said impassionedly: "Izumo City is just a remote town more than four thousand miles away from the sacred mountain. There may be many sacred mountains in Fang. People have never heard of it, but the appearance of Wu Cheng and Yu Su today makes me see the hope of changing the current situation of Izumo City! Because they have proved to us that those who are born in Izumo City have a bright future! The people around the sacred mountain who have been bathed in the glory of the sacred mountain since childhood are by no means nobler than us! We in Izumo City can also grow up to be geniuses that they can’t catch up with!”
An inspiring speech made the crowd angry. Yes, why can those people stay around the sacred mountain for thousands of years? And they can only be called country bumpkins by those people? And why do people from a remote city like us have to meet so many stringent conditions set by them if they want to move to a city closer to the sacred mountain? In Izumo City, everyone can be like a dragon!
"City Lord Liu is right!" Some big men couldn't help but echoed loudly, feeling surging.
City Master Liu smiled, pressed his hands to signal for silence, and then said eloquently: "I have watched Wu Cheng and You Su grow up. They have different teachers and different family backgrounds, but they both have different backgrounds. They have the same determination to follow the path! The match between the two of them was exciting today! They showed off my Izumo boy's wit! In my opinion, there is no winner in this match. Both of them are winners!"
"So I implore Senior Brother Gu to rule this match as a draw! No one of them should be called a loser in today's battle!"
" Well said!" Qi Daodong was the first to express his support, followed by several other seated sect leaders.
Gu Yao's brows were half furrowed. He finally figured out what Liu Chengmao was doing. He secretly sighed in his heart that this talented junior brother had such a smooth combo that first increased the height and then morally kidnapped him.
The purpose of his doing this is nothing more than to protect the face of Qi Daodong and Wu Cheng, and even the prominent monks in Izumo City. This You Su is obviously weak in this city. He is just a blind young man with no status. However, this time he defeated Wu Cheng, who is like a star holding the moon in his arms. This must be unacceptable to them, so they took advantage of it. The crowd forced him to change the result to a draw.
You Su naturally heard what City Lord Liu said. He held the hilt of the sword tightly, feeling both aggrieved and resentful in his heart.
City Lord Liu's beautiful words cannot deceive him. Once this seemingly reasonable and unkind request comes true, they will all be happy, but the sacrifice will be You Su's hard-won victory.
In You Su's eyes, those hypocritical monks who applauded him were like a group of profiteers full of oil. They actually wanted to snatch away half of his fruits of victory and whitewash their own labels.
Just as the words of Yanagi Castle imply, the "enemy" of Izumo Castle that can only be reduced to a remote small town is never a certain person who is close to the sacred mountain, but the one gathered by all those who rely on the sacred mountain to exclude outsiders. giant. His enemy in Yusu today is not only Wu Cheng, but all the outstanding people in Izumo City represented by Wu Cheng.
Besides, Gu Yao had already said it at the very beginning of this competition. Winning or losing is not the only criterion for judging who will be awarded a place in the school, so don’t stick to winning or losing. At this time, coupled with the appeal of City Lord Liu, a draw is Gu Yao's best choice now. It not only implements his original intention of initiating the Immortal Promotion Association, but also shows that he can understand the righteousness spoken by City Lord Liu, and is even more popular among the people in the city. respect.
You Su was powerless and helpless. He loosened his grip on the sword in despair. He just hoped that it would not affect his ability to get a place in the school. As for this victory, let them give it to them if they want it... …
“The words of City Lord Liu are wrong!”
Gu Yao patted You Su on the shoulder and spoke loudly, causing everyone to fall silent. They did not expect that he would reject this seemingly An offer that satisfies everyone.
