Chapter 217 It Has to Be You, Damalou
Wu Gensheng's expression changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes. He smiled awkwardly, a bitter arc at the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking himself, but also as if he was apologizing to the big monkey in front of him.
"Monkey, you are indeed smart." Wu Gensheng spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice. "I did see some clues, but I can't tell you too much."
Upon hearing this, the big monkey frowned, his large, bell-like eyes flickering with dissatisfaction and confusion. He took a sudden step forward, clenching his fists, as if suppressing his inner anger and confusion. "Fourth Brother, if you need my help, just ask. But I hope you can tell me the truth. I don't want to be kept in the dark anymore!"
Wu Gensheng felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he gazed upon the giant monkey's resolute gaze. He knew that this brother, who had once fought alongside him, despite his blunt personality and fiery temper, possessed a rare loyalty and friendship deep within. However, faced with the mystery before him, Wu Gensheng could only shake his head helplessly.
"Monkey, I came forward because I want to fulfill a wish." Wu Gensheng's voice became low and heavy. "I hope you can help me uncover this mystery together."
A flicker of emotion flashed across the big monkey's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He thought of his innocent brothers and sisters, their tragic fate at the hands of Wu Gensheng. The hatred in his heart burned like a raging fire, threatening to consume him. "Fourth brother, you've caused us so much suffering!" the big monkey gritted his teeth, his voice filled with endless sorrow and anger.
However, despite his hatred, Big Monkey was a man of principle. Although he hated Wu Gensheng, he would not attack him. After all, the past was the past, and pursuing it would be useless. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and then said coldly, "Go away. I don't want to see you again."
Wu Gensheng stood in the distance, his face pale as paper. He knew his sins were grave, and he couldn't ask for the big monkey's forgiveness. But he still mustered up his courage and stepped forward, his voice trembling with pleading: "Big monkey, I know I was wrong. But I have a poor child who has been innocently implicated. I hope you can help him."
The big monkey's heart was moved when he heard this. He thought of his own child, who had also suffered innocently, and a surge of sympathy and pity welled up in his heart. However, this sympathy was quickly overshadowed by hatred for Wu Gensheng. He looked at Wu Gensheng coldly and said, "Your problem has nothing to do with me. I won't help you."
Upon hearing this, Wu Gensheng's eyes flashed with despair. He knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, and cried, "Big Monkey, I'm willing to pay any price for what happened back then. I only ask you to save my child."
The big monkey looked at Wu Gensheng's humble attitude and couldn't help but feel a little shaken. He thought of the days when he and Wu Gensheng had fought side by side, and the ups and downs they had experienced together. However, when he thought of the brothers and sisters who died because of Wu Gensheng, his heart was filled with anger and resentment. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and then said, "Wu Gensheng, go away. I won't help you, nor will I kill you. But you must remember that the debt you owe will one day be repaid."
Upon hearing this, a bitterness flashed in Wu Gensheng's eyes. He stood up and quietly left. The big monkey watched him retreat, feeling a mixture of emotions. He felt a sense of relief at Wu Gensheng's departure, yet also worried about the innocent child.
Just then, a piece of news arrived, further complicating Big Monkey's emotions. It turned out that his brother, Xu Xin, who had fought alongside them, was still alive! This news was like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through Big Monkey's heart. He was relieved that Xu Xin was still alive, yet furious at Wu Gensheng's actions.
"Xu Xin is still alive?" Big Monkey muttered to himself, his eyes flickering with mixed emotions. He recalled the days he and Xu Xin had fought together, the moments they had shared life and death. However, when he thought of Wu Gensheng's betrayal and harm to Xu Xin, his heart was filled with anger and resentment.
The big monkey knew that Wu Gensheng's debt wasn't just his, but Xu Xin's as well. He had to make Wu Gensheng pay for his actions! So, he looked coldly in the direction Wu Gensheng was leaving and said, "Wu Gensheng, go check on Xu Xin." His tone revealed a hint of helplessness and sadness.
Wu Gensheng shuddered at the words. He knew the big monkey was reminding him not to forget the debt he owed. He nodded silently, then turned and left. His back looked even more lonely and desolate in the afterglow of the setting sun.
As night fell, Big Monkey sat alone by the campfire, his mind racing. He recalled the days he had spent with Wu Gensheng, Xu Xin, and the others. Those joyful moments, those life-and-death moments, seemed to be right before his eyes. However, reality was cruel: their friendship had been shattered by Wu Gensheng's betrayal.
"Xu Xin, oh Xu Xin, it's so good you're still alive," the big monkey murmured, his eyes flickering with mixed emotions. He was relieved that Xu Xin was still alive, yet also furious at Wu Gensheng's actions. He knew he had to do something to mend this rift.
Just then, Wu Gensheng slowly approached. His face was pale and haggard, his eyes gleaming with fatigue and guilt. He walked up to the big monkey and whispered, "Monkey, I... I went to see Xu Xin."
Hearing this, the big monkey suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with anger and confusion. "You went to see him? How dare you go to see him?" he roared, his voice filled with endless sadness and anger.
Wu Gensheng lowered his head, his voice low and heavy: "I know I owe him too much, but I... I just want to say sorry to him in person."
The big monkey sneered, his voice filled with sarcasm and disdain: "Sorry? Do you think that a simple apology can make up for the harm you caused him? Do you think that a simple apology can restore our friendship to what it was before?"
Wu Gensheng remained silent, knowing that he could neither defend himself nor redeem himself. He could only silently endure the big monkey's anger and accusations.
The big monkey looked at the fourth brother in front of him, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes.
"Fourth brother, are you really not going to go with me?" he asked tentatively.
Wu Gensheng shook his head expressionlessly. "I'm not interested.
The big monkey sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"Oh? Are you scared? I heard about what you did at Trinity Gate back then."
Fourth brother's eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.
He stood on the top of the mountain, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and a murderous aura surrounded him.
Wherever his eyes fell, they saw warriors who had gone astray by practicing evil skills. Their eyes were filled with greed and desire, like an abyss that swallowed up everything around them.
"So what?" Wu Gensheng's voice was low and firm, as if squeezed out from between his teeth. "I killed them because their skills harm people. If I don't eliminate them, more innocent people will be harmed."
There was a cunning gleam in the big monkey's eyes.
It looked at Wu Gensheng, a mocking smile on its lips: "Haha, you are so righteous. Do you think you can solve the problem by killing them? You will only make more people suffer."
When Wu Gensheng heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he immediately regained his composure.
He took a deep breath, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes. "You think I don't want to find a better solution? But I have no choice. I do this to protect my children. I don't want them to be harmed by these evil skills."
The big monkey was stunned. It hadn't expected Fourth Brother to say that. It was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Do you really think this is right? Killing one person after another will prevent more people from practicing evil techniques? You'll only perpetuate the cycle of hatred and killing."
Wu Gensheng didn't answer, but stood silently, as if lost in thought. His eyes became empty and confused, as if he was recalling every detail of the past. The innocent people who had been harmed by his evil skills, the warriors who had died because of him, kept appearing in his mind.
Suddenly, the big monkey moved. It flashed like a ghost and attacked the fourth brother. The fourth brother reacted quickly, dodging the big monkey's fatal blow by moving his body to the side. A fierce battle ensued between the two.
Their figures intersected in the air, each collision producing a deafening sound. A dark red light emanated from the Fourth Brother, as if a powerful force surged within him. He wielded his longsword, its light like a dragon, invincible.
The big monkey wasn't to be outdone, waving its massive fists, each strike accompanied by a whistling sound. Its strength was astonishing, and each collision with the fourth brother made the surrounding trees tremble.
"I have killed people at the same level as me, I have no weaknesses!" Wu Gensheng shouted loudly, his voice full of confidence.
However, the big monkey's attack became more fierce. It seemed to know where the fourth brother's weakness was, and each attack was aimed at the vital point.
The fourth brother was shocked. He hadn't expected the big monkey to be so powerful. He took a deep breath and exerted his strength to the extreme. His sword light became more dazzling, and every swing of the sword seemed to be able to cut through the void.
However, the big monkey seemed to become more and more courageous as the battle went on.
There was a mad glint in its eyes, as if it would not stop until the fourth brother was killed. The two of them fought back and forth, and the fight was hard to resolve.
The battle lasted for a long time, and the fourth brother and the big monkey were exhausted.
Their bodies were covered with wounds and blood was dripping continuously. However, none of them had any intention of giving up and continued to fight with all their might.
Finally, there was a loud bang, and the two figures flew backwards at the same time.
They lay on the ground, gasping for breath, as if they had lost the strength to speak. The outcome of this battle was unknown.
Elsewhere, in the distant village of Biyou, a grand tournament looms, and the entire village becomes bustling with activity. Warriors from far and wide flock to this quiet hamlet, each bringing their unique skills and dreams, hoping to showcase their prowess in the competition.
Zhang Chulan stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the bustling crowd and the lively scene, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary village would be so open and even allow outsiders to compete here.
"It's so lively here," Zhang Chulan exclaimed. He looked around and saw that the villagers' faces were filled with enthusiastic smiles, as if they were celebrating the upcoming competition.
However, Zhang Chulan was a little hesitant.
He looked at the chaos and noise before him and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He didn't know whether he should continue to stay in this village. After all, he came here to seek opportunities to improve himself, not to participate in such a chaotic competition.
"Zhang Chulan, what's wrong with you?" At this time, a crisp voice came.
Zhang Chulan turned around and saw a woman in red walking towards him with a smile.
"Lu Linglong, do you think it's really safe here?" Zhang Chulan asked, his eyes revealing a hint of uneasiness and confusion.
Lu Linglong smiled and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, it's very safe here. Besides, don't you think it's interesting here? So many people gathered together, communicating and learning from each other. This is a rare opportunity."
Zhang Chulan shook his head helplessly. "That being said, I'm still a little worried. The people here look crazy, and I'm afraid they'll do something outrageous."
Lu Linglong looked at him, a glint of understanding in her eyes. "I understand your concerns. But since we're already here, let's enjoy this opportunity. Who knows, maybe we can meet some like-minded friends here."
Zhang Chulan's heart moved slightly when he heard this. He thought about it and felt that what Lu Linglong said made sense.
So he decided to put his worries aside for the time being and continue to stay in the village.
However, as time went on, Zhang Chulan's confusion and uneasiness became more and more intense.
He looked at the chaos and noise before him, as if he saw the desires and greed of countless people intertwined.
He felt as if he was caught in a huge whirlpool and couldn't extricate himself.
"Qiankun, let's leave Biyou Village." Zhang Chulan finally couldn't help but said to Li Qiankun beside him. His eyes were full of fatigue and helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun just stared quietly at a corner in front of him.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the crowd and see something unknown.
Zhang Chulan followed his gaze and saw a woman standing there quietly. Her eyes were deep and mysterious, as if containing infinite power.
"Baoer?" Zhang Chulan asked curiously.
Li Qiankun didn't answer, but pointed at Baoer, with a strange light in his eyes: "She has a power that we don't know about."
