Chapter 84: A One-Man Showdown with the Green Robe Pavilion, Making a Name for Himself!
into the night.
Four dark figures sneaked into the Peace Inn and silently arrived outside a guest room on the second floor.
One of them took out a thin bamboo tube, gently poked a hole in the window paper, and blew incense into the room when the tube was about halfway in.
This is an extremely despicable method.
Flower thieves and notorious bandits in the martial arts world love to blow sleeping powder, which is convenient, effortless, and safe.
After a while, someone gently opened the window.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Even after being drugged, the four remained cautious, throwing several hidden weapons before leaping through the window.
Once inside, they threw a few more hidden weapons towards the pillow.
As expected of a professional assassin from the Green Robe Pavilion.
However, when they all brandished their knives, ready to tear the body apart, they discovered that there was no one under the blanket.
"Oh no, we've been tricked!"
"withdraw!"
A chaotic commotion erupted inside the room.
Soon, a short-haired man jumped out of the window in a panic and disappeared into the darkness in a few leaps.
The man was very careful; he drove around the city in a big circle and finally found an abandoned house to hide in.
They didn't leave the abandoned hut until dawn was approaching, and instead arrived at a large courtyard in the west of the city.
"You idiot, are you afraid our enemies won't know about the Green Robe Pavilion's stronghold?"
The speaker was Zheng Dao, the leader of the Guangzhou branch of Qingyi Tower. He was nicknamed "The Killer Blade" because he rarely used a second strike to kill someone; he always killed with a single blow.
The short-haired man said tremblingly, "Boss, I went in a huge circle and hid for over an hour to make sure no one was following me. I was worried..."
Before he could finish speaking, several screams could be faintly heard from outside.
Then came another exclamation: "Oh no! Someone's broken in!"
The short-haired man was startled and quickly explained, "Boss, this subordinate..."
Before he could finish speaking, a flash of light swept past, and a head fell to the ground.
Still not satisfied, Zheng Dao kicked the corpse away, cursing, "What a piece of trash!"
After saying that, he strode out the door.
At this moment, Gu Yu had already stormed in.
He deliberately let the short-haired man go; otherwise, he wouldn't have found this place so easily.
If Qingyi Tower hadn't provoked him, that would have been fine. But since his opponent was determined to kill him, he had no choice but to kill his opponent first!
The martial arts world is not as complicated as the imperial court. The martial arts world can be summed up in four words: swift justice and vengeance!
It can also be summed up in one word: Do it!
"Boy, you've got some nerve, daring to trespass into my Green Robe Pavilion all by yourself?"
Zheng Dao's words were actually a test, because he didn't believe Gu Yu would dare to come alone; he probably had helpers.
Gu Yu chuckled and said, "Could it be that the Green Robe Pavilion is a den of dragons and tigers?"
Zheng Dao snorted coldly, "That's not a place you can come and go as you please. Since you're here today, leave your life behind! Attack!"
With a shout, a chaotic battle ensued.
[Defeat members of the Green Robe Tower gang to gain 50 Destiny Points]
[Defeat the leader of the Green Robe Tower and gain 120 Fate Points]
[Defeat members of the Green Robe Tower gang to gain 80 Destiny Points]
At first, Zheng Dao thought that with his superior numbers, he could wear down his opponent even through a war of attrition.
But soon his face fell, and a chilling cold rose from the soles of his feet, chilling him to the bone.
He discovered that regardless of their strength, his subordinates were virtually indistinguishable from their opponents, with most falling to the ground in a pool of blood in a single encounter.
In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, more than half of his men had been killed.
This is no longer a war of attrition.
It was clearly a tiger charging into the sheepfold.
Seeing that things were not going well, Zheng Dao couldn't help but take out a small crossbow and quietly circled around to Gu Yu's back.
This is a specially made small crossbow bolt. Although its range is short, its power is great. It can fire three bolts at a time, and the arrowheads are coated with a deadly poison that can kill instantly upon contact with blood.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
While Gu Yu was making his move, Zheng Dao fired two more crossbow bolts, totaling six bolts.
The Green Robe Tower has never cared about the rules of the martial arts world; they only care about the result. As long as they can kill their opponent, the method doesn't matter.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yu seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, dodging instantly. The six crossbow bolts missed him, but hit three unlucky disciples of the Green Robe Pavilion instead.
"Attack together!"
Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, Zheng Dao abandoned all pretense of a war of attrition and gave a fierce command.
To catch the thief, first catch the king!
Gu Yu moved swiftly and rushed in front of Zheng Dao.
Zheng Dao was taken aback and unleashed a powerful slash.
This strike was his signature move, the "Deadly Strike," which was fast, ruthless, and incredibly powerful, much like the "Splitting Mount Hua" technique.
Unfortunately, the strike missed its mark.
Before Zheng Dao could change his move, Gu Yu's sword had already sliced across his throat.
With his death, the remaining disciples of the Green Robe Pavilion fell into chaos. Some died, some fled, and in the end, only three disciples remained, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
Gu Yu didn't kill them because he needed someone to relay his message.
"Remember this: if your Green Robe Pavilion dares to provoke me again, don't blame me for massacring all 107 of your Green Robe Pavilions floor by floor."
The Green Robe Tower has 108 branches. He has already massacred one of them, so there are naturally 107 left.
The news spread quickly and caused a huge sensation.
In every restaurant, teahouse, and inn in the city, wherever there were people from the martial arts world, everyone was talking about this matter.
"The Green Robe Pavilion has really bitten off more than it can chew this time, as one of its branches has been taken down by a single person."
"The Green Robe Pavilion has always been vengeful, and this time it may be in a rather embarrassing situation."
"Who exactly is this Gu Yu? I've never heard of him before!"
"This person's background is somewhat mysterious; it's said he's a friend of Lu Xiaofeng."
"No wonder. Last year, the Green Robe Pavilion wanted to kill Zhu Ting, the owner of the Miraculous Hands Pavilion, but Lu Xiaofeng said that if the Green Robe Pavilion dared to kill Zhu Ting, he would burn down all 108 Green Robe Pavilions."
"This shows that the Green Robe Pavilion is also a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong..."
Regardless of what others say, this battle made Gu Yu famous overnight, and he was no longer an unknown figure.
Of course, what Gu Yu cared about most was the Fate Point.
This battle yielded nearly seven thousand Destiny Points.
"Dark Blue, add some points!"
Gu Yu had already planned to prioritize upgrading Lingbo Weibu, since it was a top-tier lightness skill and a life-saving technique.
[Lingbo Weibu (Mastery) - Lingbo Weibu (Perfect), requires 3000 Destiny Points. Confirm advancement?]
"Sure!"
Congratulations! Your Lingbo Weibu skill has advanced to the next level.
[Lingbo Weibu (Perfect) - Lingbo Weibu (Transcendent Realm), requires 5000 Destiny Points. Confirm advancement?]
"Sure!"
Congratulations! Your Lingbo Weibu skill has advanced to the next level.

"Knock knock knock!"
Suddenly, there were a few soft knocks on the door.
"Who?"
"It's me, Lao Zhao!"
