Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 120 Good intentions
The biggest difference between people in the military and ordinary people is that they obey orders.

It was obvious that the leader of the thirty-six armored soldiers on this trip was Meng Qingkong. So, as soon as Meng Qingkong opened his mouth, the armored soldiers received the order, moved in unison, and all stopped steadily at the first moment.

There was no hesitation or delay, as if this order had already been deeply imprinted in their hearts and became an instinctive reaction.

Gu Mo held the Thousand Machine Box in his hand, snorted coldly, and said, "You can leave if you want, or come if you want. I'm afraid it won't be that easy. For today's matter, no one can leave unless we draw a line!"

Meng Qingbai's hair was white as snow, yet each strand was fresh and radiant. His face was gaunt, and the wrinkles carved by time could not hide the sharpness in his eyes. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and he stood there with the air of a master. His plain robe swayed slightly in the wind, and his demeanor was calm and composed. He said, "Hero Gu, I guess you don't really want to fight to the death with the Guangyang Marquis' Mansion, you just want to put this matter to an end.

"I believe that with the Thousand Machine Box in your hand, you can indeed leave some of the Ironclad Army here. However, in the future, you can't always be by the Third Miss's side. You don't want to fight with the Guangyang Marquis' Mansion every day, do you? To be honest, we just want to take the Third Miss away, and we don't want to have a life-and-death feud with you, Master Gu. It's unnecessary for you to make enemies with the Guangyang Marquis' Mansion, and there's no need for us to make enemies with you. It's best to resolve the problem peacefully."

"What do you want to do?" Gu Mo asked.

Meng Qingkong said, "It's very simple. We are all from the martial arts world, so we should follow the rules of the martial arts world. Let's have a duel. If I win, there's nothing to say. I will take the Third Miss away. If you win, from now on, the Third Miss will have no connection with the Guangyang Marquis Mansion. No one in the Guangyang Marquis Mansion will bother the Third Miss anymore. How do you say that?"

Gu Chudong immediately cursed, "You old man, you are so shameless! My brother just had a big fight. You are a master of your generation, well-known in the martial arts world. You are taking advantage of others' misfortune now. Aren't you afraid that others will poke you in the back?"

Meng Qingkong chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Gu. I can give Hero Gu time to recover. I'll wait patiently. With me here, I can also guarantee that no one will disturb Hero Gu's recovery. How do you say that?"

Gu Mo looked at Meng Qingkong and asked, "Can you make the decision?"

"Yes, I, Meng Qingkong, never break my promise in my life."

Gu Mo nodded slightly in response.

Given the current situation, Meng Qingkong's proposal is the best solution. As Meng Qingkong said, he does not want to provoke such a powerful enemy as the Guangyang Marquis Mansion, and the Guangyang Marquis Mansion is also unwilling to provoke him. After all, he cannot defeat the Guangyang Marquis Mansion in a head-on confrontation, but if a martial arts master hides and carries out assassination, the Guangyang Marquis Mansion will also be in turmoil.

Seeing that Gu Mo agreed to his proposal,

Meng Qingkong bowed.

At this moment, the armored troops had finished their action. They worked in groups of several people, cooperating tacitly, and carefully lifted up their companions who were seriously injured by Gu Mo.

Their movements were steady and skillful, without the slightest panic, as if they had already become indifferent to life and death, and all their actions were simply following established military regulations.

Throughout the entire process, the Armored Army did not show any hatred, nor did they impulsively choose to fight to the death because of the deaths and injuries of their companions. Their faces were cold and their eyes were firm. They did not utter a word, but just silently carried out orders.

Then, they rode their horses and retreated in an orderly manner. Their footsteps were heavy and powerful, echoing in the empty battlefield, and soon disappeared into the night, as if they had never appeared.

At this moment, outside of the No. 2 Villa,
Many people from all walks of life have gathered here, including people from the martial arts world, the Six Gates, and many officials from the government offices. These people were attracted when the Thirty-Six Armored Armies appeared, and their number is increasing.

And at this moment,
The crowd watching the game was boiling with excitement.
The decisive battle between the two great masters would be a major event that would cause a sensation in the martial arts world no matter where it happened, but it happened so abruptly today.

Many people are rushing to spread the word to the outside world to call friends and gather companions.

This is a rare martial arts event.

Especially for martial arts masters, it is a priceless opportunity to watch.

However, no one dared to get too close.

……

There was a crowd of people outside.

Gu Mo seemed to be deaf to the sound. He stretched out his hand, and the Autumn Water Sword fell into his hand. He bowed and said, "Please."

Meng Qingkong said in a deep voice: "Wouldn't Mr. Gu like to recover first?"

"No need." Gu Mo said: "Everyone in the martial arts world knows that I specialize in internal skills."

Meng Qingkong chuckled and said, "Indeed, in the Battle of Fengming Ferry, Hero Gu single-handedly defeated a thousand men without a break. He then single-handedly annihilated the Moon Worship Sect in Luoying Valley. His power is so profound that it is unprecedented. I am so presumptuous as to strike first!"

In an instant, the long sword in Meng Qingkong's hand suddenly made a clear sound. The sound of the sword was like jade falling in a cold pond, shaking the copper bells on the eaves.

Gu Mo's pupils shrank slightly. He saw countless sword energies pouring out from the opponent's sleeves and turning into fireflies all over the sky - no, those were not fireflies, but sword intent condensed into substance!
"The name "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" is indeed well-deserved!"

Gu Mo secretly praised in his heart and gripped the sword tightly. The Dugu Nine Swords emphasized "no moves", so he did not make any moves.

Meng Qingkong fluttered his wide sleeves and took the lead in attacking. Thousands of sword energies rolled back like the Milky Way. The century-old pines and cypresses on both sides of the steps were instantly covered with millions of sword marks.

Gu Mo attacked from behind with his long sword, slashing horizontally three inches and seven points, getting stuck in the gap between the two sword energies.

Gu Mo's figure suddenly moved like a fish swimming upstream, and the arc of light drawn by the iron sword actually split the long river of sword energy in half.

In an instant,

The two figures were entangled. Meng Qingkong's sword energy sometimes resembled a mighty river flowing eastward, sometimes a gentle drizzle, but Gu Mo always managed to find that fleeting flaw at the critical moment. The sound of the iron sword and the sword energy clashing gradually became like a torrential rain hitting banana leaves. Sparks flew on the bluestone steps, and the sword energy plowed a three-inch deep gully.

When the battlefield moved past Tingyuxuan, Meng Qingkong suddenly let out a long roar.

The raindrops hanging from the eaves suddenly condensed into icicles, and transformed into thousands of cold rays as his sword pointed.

Gu Mo's Autumn Water Sword swiftly pointed at the nine palaces, each spot sending a blast of air. The ice cones shattered into crystal powder in mid-air, the sword's light reflecting off them in a rainbow of colors.

"What a great way to anticipate the enemy's moves!"

Meng Qingkong laughed loudly. Although he did not know the Dugu Nine Swords, his sword skills were extremely high. After this fight, he could naturally understand the essence of the Dugu Nine Swords. Just like Gu Mo, who also saw the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One for the first time, he also realized that the essence of the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One was to transform qi into form and take advantage of the power of heaven and earth.

The next moment, Meng Qingkong's longsword came again. The sword energy was as thin as a cicada's wing, and when it was swung, it actually brought out the sound of a phoenix. Gu Mo felt the sword light before his eyes suddenly increase, as if he saw nine fire phoenixes spreading their wings and swooping down.

The iron sword draws a circle, which is the essence of using the opponent's force to attack.

The two men walked on glazed tiles and flew past tall buildings. The roofs that the sword energy swept through exploded one after another, and countless tiles flew into the sky.

The two men clashed with their swords in a fierce battle. Their sword moves were sharp and their true energy was overflowing.

Instantly, a powerful sword energy surged overhead, sending the roof shattering and sending bricks and tiles flying. Gu Mo and Meng Qingkong's figures moved like lightning, falling together with the debris.

In mid-air, the two swords collided again.

For a moment, the sound of metal clashing was deafening, and the strong wind wave was like a typhoon passing through, blowing the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees wildly.

After a fierce fight, the two separated and fell to the ground like meteors.

As soon as Gu Mo's feet touched the ground, he decisively dropped his sword and quickly raised his hands. Sharp sword energy gathered at his fingertips, and he was preparing to use the Six Meridians Divine Sword to directly deal with Meng Qingkong with an invisible sword formation.

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, Meng Qingkong suddenly put away his sword, channeled his inner energy into a secret voice, and said, "Master Gu, it's almost time. I and the others came here today not to force the Third Miss, but to put on this show."

"What do you mean?" Gu Mo asked puzzledly.

Meng Qingkong took out a letter and said, "I'll have to trouble Hero Gu to pass it on to the Third Miss later. From today on, the Third Miss can be considered to have truly severed ties with the Bai family."

Gu Mo was full of confusion.

Meng Qingkong said: "It is impossible to judge whether my Marquis is good or bad. Officialdom is just like that. When the late emperor was alive, he needed a sword to fight with the aristocratic families. At that time, the Marquis was a hero guarding the country's borders. After the current emperor ascended the throne, he needed to appease the aristocratic families, so the Marquis was naturally abandoned. He became a notorious executioner, a treacherous minister and a corrupt official. The court is just like that. There is no good or bad. The Marquis has never thought about whether he wants to be a good official or a bad official.

However, the Marquis actually wanted to be a good father. However, he didn't have the chance to be a good father because the Third Miss's return to the Bai family was a conspiracy, and even the Third Miss's birth was a conspiracy.

Many years ago, before the Marquis was even made a marquis and appointed a general, he was framed by his enemies. The third young lady's mother was actually the woman the Marquis had fallen in love with at first sight. However, she was framed and exploited, leading to a brief affair with the Marquis. Her mother mistakenly believed that the Marquis had raped her and sued him.

At that time, the Marquis was on the verge of ruin and death, but he was helped by a noble man and landed safely. The third lady's mother, for some unknown reason, became pregnant with the third lady that night and gave birth to the baby, keeping it hidden until the Marquis was even unaware of it.

Until a few years ago, the Marquis's political enemies in the court dug up the past events in order to attack him, and actually found out about the existence of the third young lady. It was then that the Marquis learned that he actually had a daughter who was living away from home.

He immediately sent someone to take the third young lady to the Bai family in order to protect her, but he acted cold and disgusted towards her in order to protect her, because the Guangyang Marquis' Mansion was about to collapse, and the Marquis really didn't want the third young lady, who had suffered since childhood, to continue suffering as she grew up.

Therefore, after bringing the Third Miss back to the Bai Family, the Marquis did not allow her to be included in the family tree. He created various accidental conditions for her to learn martial arts and literature, and finally found an opportunity to drive her out of the family and banish her to Linjiang County. All of this was done to allow her to be independent and cut ties with the Bai Family.

Gu Mo suddenly realized, "So, a few years ago, there were rumors in the martial arts world that Yan Sanniang had someone behind her. In fact, it was also tacitly approved by the Bai family."

Meng Qingkong laughed and said, "Otherwise, it's not that easy to take advantage of someone's situation. This is all just the Marquis using another method to cultivate the Third Miss's abilities. So, when the time came, he took back the Third Miss's winery. This was also to make it easier to cut ties later."

Gu Mo said: "So, what happened today is also part of the process of cutting off the relationship?"

Meng Qingkong nodded and said, "The Marquis' Mansion is about to be liquidated, and the separation must be thorough. Previously, it was done secretly, but now we need to make things public. This way, when the liquidation is carried out later, if anyone wants to harm the Third Young Miss, today's incident will be a good response."

Gu Mo said in a deep voice: "If there really are people in the court who are determined to deal with Miss Yan, your so-called separation will be useless."

Meng Qingkong said, "The court has its own rules. Cutting off to this point is enough. After all, it's only the Guangyang Marquisate that was liquidated, not the entire faction. Who would want to give themselves leverage to gossip about an unfavored, unlisted illegitimate daughter who was almost forced to be given away as a plaything?"

"Okay." Gu Mo really didn't understand the rules of the court.

Meng Qingkong said, "What the Marquis is really worried about is the martial arts world. He has many enemies in the martial arts world, and the Third Miss also has enemies. He is afraid that after his downfall, people from the martial arts world will come to deal with the Third Miss."

Gu Mo suddenly had an idea and said, "So, I am also included in this."

Meng Qingkong nodded and said, "Woniu Mountain is where we deliberately arranged for you to meet Yang Qingtong."

"Are you so sure that I will save Yang Qingtong?" Gu Mo was surprised.

Meng Qingkong nodded and said, "Who in the martial arts world doesn't know the great hero Gu Mo of Yunzhou? He hates evil and is righteous, and will never let any evil demon go!"

Gu Mo: “…”

Who spread this? He is really not that kind of person!

Meng Qingkong continued, "We originally wanted to help you secretly and make you famous. In Fengming Ferry, we also knew that with the Third Miss's personality, she would definitely not ignore you and let you owe her a favor. Then we secretly helped you escape, but the result...

I never expected that after you broke through at Fengming Ferry, we didn't need to be involved in anything that happened afterwards. Our goal was to help you become famous so that the Third Miss could be protected under your reputation in the future. But in the end, there was no need for us to become famous for you. Your reputation as the Yunzhou hero and the master of the generation was enough to protect the Third Miss.

As for today's battle, the two Grandmasters have sealed the pact that the young lady will have no further ties with the Bai family. No one will bother her, and after today, her identity will be public. Everyone will know she's been bullied to the point of being unable to survive. The more they dislike the Marquis, the more sympathy they'll have for her, and it's even less likely they'll vent their anger on her. In the past, the Marquis was most worried about the young lady being bullied after the Marquis's fall, leaving her without support. But with your appearance, the Marquis has completely eliminated his worries about the young lady.

Gu Mo said in a deep voice: "But, today, Yan Sanniang took poison."

"I've already replaced the poison," Meng Qingkong said. "It's poisonous, but it only causes fake death. I'm also worried that you might leave today and never come back. If that's the case, then let Third Miss fake her own death and I'll take her away. From now on, she'll live in anonymity, but that also means she'll never live in the light of day again."

Gu Mo thought for a moment and said, "Did you arrange for the carriage to break down when Song Junxi and his family passed through the market town?"

"Yes," Meng Qingkong said, "Including the caravan leading you, there are actually our people there. I guarantee that you will meet Song Junxi, but I can't guarantee that you will return to Linjiang City."

Gu Mo remained silent.

"Master Gu, I'm sorry. The plot against you has nothing to do with the Third Miss. I hope you don't blame her."

After saying that, Meng Qingkong raised his sword and said, "Master Gu, I still have a true move called Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One."

As Meng Qingkong finished speaking, the true energy on his sword moved like a spirit snake.

In an instant, the hall was filled with sword energy, as if countless sharp blades were whistling and whistling. The originally dim hall became bright because of this surging sword energy.

Meng Qingkong spun around, and his long sword transformed into a dazzling sword wheel. Thousands of sword lights gathered around him like stars returning to their positions.

The sword lights intertwined and collided with each other, making a "sizzling" sound. Each one contained the power to split mountains and split rocks. In an instant, the tables, chairs, and screens in the hall were cut into pieces by the invisible sword energy, and they flew all over the sky.

Ten thousand swords merged into one, forming a huge lightsaber that hung in the air. The sword was crystal clear and shone brightly, dazzling the eyes and making people dazzled.

Then, with Gu Mo looking bewildered,
The lightsaber pierced Meng Qingkong's chest.

Based on Gu Mo's experience, even the slightest deviation would pierce Meng Qingkong's heart.

Meng Qingkong spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered, and nearly fell to the ground. He smiled dejectedly and said, "Hero Gu, this sword strike is my apology to you."

Gu Mo: “?”

Make amends, am I blaming others?

Blame it on the fact that the number of wanted criminals sent from Woniu Mountain is too small?
I thought this old guy was a normal person, but it turns out that no one who practices sword has a normal mind.

Who in their right mind would stab themselves with a sword for no apparent reason?

Meng Qingkong covered his chest, his face pale as he asked, "This move, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, if the opponent is truly hostile, how would Hero Gu respond?"

Gu Mo thought for a moment and said, "Four methods!"

First, the Six Meridians Divine Sword used an invisible sword formation to break it, second, Xiao Li's Flying Dagger broke it, third, the Ming Yu Gong and the Nine Yang Magical Art evolved the protective Qi to resist it, and fourth, the Yan Yang Miraculous Art's Lie Yang Qi directly shattered the sword Qi.

Meng Qingkong's face froze, and then he became somewhat dejected. He said, "Hero Gu, in the future, you may really be able to become the best in the world in this era."

After saying that, Meng Qingkong walked out slowly, holding the sword in one hand and covering his chest with the other.

now,

A lot of people had gathered outside the Buer Villa. Before, they were just watching from afar, but when Gu Mo and Meng Qingkong entered the villa while fighting, they couldn't help but run closer and saw Meng Qingkong walking out seriously injured.

Just as everyone was wondering if Meng Qingkong was seriously injured and Gu Mo was killed, Meng Qingkong slowly said, "I lost. From now on, we will never bother Miss Yan again!"

Suddenly, there was an uproar.
The value of the new Grandmaster and Yunzhou Hero continues to rise!
Meng Qingkong raised the long sword in his hand, his eyes filled with reluctance. He looked at Gu Chudong and said, "This sword is called Lingxi. It is forged from celestial cold iron. It is a famous sword in the world. It has been with me for thirty-five years. Today, this sword is my reward for buying my life from the hands of the hero Gu. Miss Gu, keep it!"

After saying that, Meng Qingkong threw the Lingxi Sword to Gu Chudong, covered his chest which was still bleeding, tapped his feet lightly, and left quickly.

At this moment,
Gu Mo slowly walked out of Buer Villa.
For a moment, exclamations and praises continued to be heard from the crowd, and the eyes looking at Gu Mo contained shock, admiration, and even fear.

"Brother," Gu Chudong put the Thousand Machine Box back into the bookcase, holding the Lingxi Sword, and ran over to ask, "Brother, are you okay?"

Gu Mo shook his head and said, "Miss Yan, let's go back together!"

All the people from the underworld outside the villa dispersed.

Under the night sky, Gu Mo and the other two gradually walked away.
