Chapter 143
On the ring, Ximen Yu's headless body fell straight backwards.
Blood gushed out from the broken neck like a fountain, instantly dyeing the blue-gray stone slab into a shocking dark red.
The rapid sound of the piano stopped abruptly, as if it was roughly cut off by an invisible hand, leaving only a creepy silence.
"What... just happened?"
"Why did that guy's head suddenly explode?!"
Everyone watching the game was stunned by this sudden change, and the scene was silent.
The purple-eyed evil ghost summoned by the sound of the piano by Master Nongyu was so cruel, and it was about to make the final decision and defeat Gu Cheng. How could it be killed in the blink of an eye?
Doubt, confusion, fear, all kinds of emotions spread among the crowd like a plague.
But the old referee still maintained a calm and professional professional quality.
He jumped onto the ring with swift movements and carefully examined Ximen Yu's body.
After confirming that there was no sign of life left in this person, he slowly turned around and announced in a loud voice:
"Young Master Nongyu 'Ximen Yu' was killed, the winner is: Demon Suppression Division-Gu Cheng!"
The old referee's voice was like a thunder, instantly igniting the atmosphere on the scene.
Deafening cheers suddenly broke out under the ring, and the crowd rolled like boiling water.
They shouted Gu Cheng's name frantically, expressing the purest admiration for the strong.
"This kid is really a worry..."
Xu Wenying looked at the high-spirited figure of the young man on the stage, smiled with relief, and whispered to himself:
"Since you have such a trump card, you can't use it up at the beginning, and you have to wait until the last moment to make a real move?"
At this time, a black shadow broke through the wind and landed steadily beside Xu Wenying. The airflow caused several lieutenants around him to step back half a step.
The man was wearing a cloud-patterned cloak of the Demon Suppression Division, with an elegant temperament and a handsome face.
It was Hu Qingyun, a colleague who had a close relationship with Xu Wenying.
"Old Eagle, this piano competition..."
Hu Pianjiang looked at the cheering crowd around him, his face full of surprise, and couldn't help asking.
He was delayed for some time when he went out to perform a mission a few days ago. After hearing that Gu Cheng was going to compete with others in piano, he rushed back without stopping, but only saw a settlement screen.
Seeing this, Xu Wenying laughed and pointed at the ring:
"Look, the winner has been decided, Gu boy won, it's a pity that you came back too late and missed the most exciting part."
"What? It's over so soon?!"
Hu Qingyun was slightly startled when he heard this, and hurriedly looked towards the ring.
After noticing Ximen Yu's miserable headless body, he was even more incredulous.
As far as he knew, the competition of the zither was always very tense, and the two sides often had to stalemate for a long time, sometimes even for a day and a night.
How did it end so quickly this time?
Besides, isn't this zither competition always known for its "elegance"? How come someone died today?
Isn't this young man Gu too cruel?
On the roof of the restaurant.
Tang Lingyu looked at the black-shirted figure on the ring, patted his chest with relief, and breathed a sigh of relief.
When the Spirit Bird Master suddenly rushed to the ring, she thought Gu Cheng was in danger, and her heart was in her throat.
Now seeing Gu Cheng's great victory, she was completely relieved.
"As expected of Chief Gu, nothing can stump him..."
Tang Lingyu smiled, tapped her toes, and jumped down from the roof with a light figure, walking towards the ring.
However, people's joys and sorrows are not the same.
Just as Gu Cheng's friends cheered for his victory, some people were not in a good mood.
"Pah--"
The exquisite teacup shattered with a sound, turning into crystal fragments on the ground, just like Chen Youdao's crazy mood at this time.
"Waste! Waste! This Young Master Nongyu is worthy of being called the Master of Qin Dao? Bah!"
In the teahouse, Chen Youdao was furious, and his originally elegant face became hysterical at this moment, like an angry beast.
This time, he carefully set up a plan, and cleverly restricted Gu Cheng's thunder method and martial arts by playing the piano, thinking that he had a sure win.
Who knew that this kid crushed his plan with just his piano skills, and even sacrificed the life of the young master Nongyu!
What kind of monster is this kid? Is there really no way to deal with him?
After venting his anger, Chen Youdao quickly calmed down.
This kid surnamed Gu is too difficult, and Mingjian Villa has more important things to do now, so it can't spare any time to deal with him.
It seems that the revenge for his nephew can only be planned in the long run...
Chen YoudaoDao took a deep breath, turned to look at the two elders of Chenlong Martial Arts School, and forced a smile of apology on his face:
"Excuse me, elders. Gu Cheng's attainments in the art of playing the zither are really beyond our expectations. It's really my negligence that caused your school to lose its martial arts..."
He felt guilty. He had obviously tried to win over allies and set up a trap to cheat people, but ended up losing both his wife and his army. It was really a loss.
"Brother Youdao, you are too serious."
The second elder laughed and said casually:
"It is natural to accept the loss of a bet. It's just a set of innate martial arts. My Chenlong Martial Arts School can afford to lose."
The third elder also echoed: "Yes, victory and defeat are common in the military. Brother Youdao, don't take it to heart."
The two said they didn't care, but the greed and passion in their eyes revealed their true thoughts.
Since Gu Cheng really won the piano competition, coupled with the evidence of Young Master Nong Yu before his death, the answer is already clear...
The kid from the Demon Suppression Division must have obtained the soul-refining inheritance of Venerable Qing Lian!
In this way, the rise of their Chenlong Martial Arts School is also just around the corner!
On the other side.
Gu Cheng naturally didn't know that he had been targeted by a few guys who didn't know how to live or die.
He stood on the ring, bathed in the cheers and praises of the crowd, with a calm expression.
In this chaotic world of demons and warriors, the law of the jungle is the only law.
Only the strong who stand at the top can enjoy all the admiration and worship in this world.
As for the losers, who cares about their lives?
Gu Cheng's sight slowly fell to a distance, looking at the headless body of Young Master Nong Yu, a subtle flash in his eyes.
To be honest, he didn't intend to kill him.
But who would have thought that after defeating the purple-eyed evil ghost, Ximen Yu, the caster, also died.
Such a strange and evil secret technique is not a legitimate method.
The purple-eyed guy ended up with a headshot and died, which was his own fault.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the life and death agreement signed before the piano duel would really come in handy..."
Gu Cheng smiled and shook his head, and with a light hook of his finger, the storage bag in Ximen Yu's arms flew into his hands.
He didn't even look at it, and directly put the spoils into his pocket, and opened the system panel at the same time.
[Kill the initial stage of the innate realm half-demon, and obtain life span: 598 years]
Seeing the record on the panel, Gu Cheng couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Half-demon?"
"This young master Nanyue actually has the blood of a demon?"
