Chapter 215 Those who wish take the bait
But Gu Santong was not one to give up easily. He simply channeled all his inner energy to fight back.
The old man in the blue robe looked at Gu Santong's appearance, a hint of barely perceptible appreciation flashing in his eyes.
If only those disciples had such a mindset. Although they all have considerable talent in martial arts...
However, his temperament is really lacking; I wonder if he has even crossed the threshold of becoming a celestial being.
Thinking of this, the old man in the blue robe felt that he should go back and take a look.
"Alright, we've seen the Invincible Vajra Divine Skill, let's stop here."
The old man in the green robe smiled faintly, and then raised his fair and jade-like right hand, casually striking out with a palm.
What appeared to be a harmless palm strike to outsiders felt to Gu Santong like a pillar of heaven collapsing or Mount Tai crumbling.
It felt as if all the air around me had been sucked away, and I found it hard to breathe!
Moreover, under this palm strike, there was absolutely no possibility of dodging; he could only take it head-on!
In an instant, it seemed as if everything in Gu Santong's world had vanished.
Only this terrifying palm strike, as if the sky were being overturned!
"what!"
Gu Santong exhaled and made a sound, and all the strength in his body suddenly burst out, pushing the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to its highest level!
He can't possibly be unable to withstand even a single palm strike!
With a burst of golden light, Gu Santong, his fists and palms overlapping, lifted the weight horizontally upwards like a tyrant lifting a tripod!
Clang! Clang!
A piercing metallic clang erupted, and boundless force surged forth like a hurricane, sending countless dust and pebbles flying from the ground.
Buzz!
A dense roar filled Gu Santong's ears, and he felt as if his whole body was floating, as if he had no weight.
In a daze, it seemed as if countless golden stars were shining before my eyes, and I could not hear any other sound.
He was stunned by the old man in the green robe's palm strike!
"I...I lost!"
After a long while, Gu Santong slowly woke up, feeling as if his whole body was falling apart, with a mix of soreness, numbness, and itching, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He struggled to open his eyes, and what came into view was an old man in a blue robe standing with his hands behind his back. The old man in the blue robe stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, still as elegant and composed as ever.
Looking down, he saw that his body from the neck down had been forcefully pressed into the ground by the force of the palm strike, leaving him in a sorry state.
Even the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill that he had relied on for protection was completely shattered by this powerful palm force, causing his internal energy to become disordered and difficult to gather for a while.
It has lost all its ability to resist.
"A person can lose countless times, but as long as they win the most crucial one, that's enough!"
Just as Gu Santong was still basking in the shadow of defeat, Shan Tianxie's voice came from the side.
"What this young man said is correct."
The old man in the blue robe nodded upon hearing this, and then lightly tapped his toes on the ground.
A burst of power erupted, and with a thunderous boom, the surrounding ground rippled like ocean waves.
Dan Tianxie thought the old man lacked martial ethics and was about to turn around and run away when...
But they discovered that it wasn't coming for them.
"what!"
Gu Santong cried out in pain as his body was involuntarily lifted up by a force, leaping off the ground.
"Senior is indeed a sage of the world, and his magnanimity is truly admirable."
Dan Tianxie said with admiration.
There's nothing we can do. Our strongest fighter, Gu Santong, has already been easily defeated. With the old man's fighting strength, even if the big brother came, he'd probably just be another liability.
It's better to say something nicer. As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face.
The old man in the green robe looked at Shan Tianxie with a smile, but didn't say anything, which made Shan Tianxie feel embarrassed.
"hehe...."
Dan Tianxie gave an awkward laugh, secretly guessing the old man's identity.
There are quite a few people who can absorb internal energy, and apart from that one palm strike, there are basically no other effective clues. It's very difficult to determine who this person is.
"Now that you've witnessed Senior Gu's Indestructible Divine Skill, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave?"
Dan Tianxie mustered his courage and said.
Seeing that the old man in the blue robe was still smiling without saying anything, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, Shan Tianxie gave a wink, and Xia Xueyi quickly went to help Gu Santong up.
Then, just as everyone was preparing to leave...
"and many more......"
"Does Senior have any further instructions?"
Dan Tianxie, as if under a spell, stiffly turned his head and asked.
It wasn't that simple after all; these reclusive bigwigs all have very strange tempers.
"I can give you a goldfish, do you want one?"
The old man in the green robe revealed a strange smile, looked at the silent Shan Tianxie, and spoke.
"But you have to promise to do one thing for me!"
"What is it? I will do my utmost to help you if it's within my power!"
Dan Tianxie readily agreed, after all, this wasn't the time for him to make decisions; he figured he might as well agree to everything first and then figure out the rest later.
If we can accomplish this, that would be even better. It would be a way to establish some connection with this big shot and get a chance to curry favor with him.
If we really can't finish it, then we'll just hide with Yunluo's apprentice and let the old eunuch fight this old man!
He wouldn't care who died!
Seeing Shan Tianxie's performance, the old man in the green robe smiled with satisfaction, but did not directly state his request.
Instead, he changed the subject, saying, "Let's go fishing first. We can talk about this after we get the golden carp. Come with me."
This unexpected turn of events caught Shan Tianxie completely off guard, leaving him stunned for a moment.
In that short time, the old man in the green robe came out with his fishing rod, ignoring everyone else, and went straight to the Xiliang River.
He didn't put out any bait, didn't bait the fishing spot, and kept the hook straight before preparing to cast his line.
"Grandpa Centenarian... no, Grandpa Centenarian, you forgot to put in the bait, and what about this hook?"
Bai Zhantang would fish occasionally, since it was already an extremely cost-effective activity.
Therefore, he can be considered a master in this field. Looking at the old man in the blue robe's equipment, he felt that he should still remind him, otherwise what if the air force gets angry later?
You know, the air force is something every angler can tolerate! If this equipment can catch a fish, Bai Zhantang will eat it!
The old man in the green robe chuckled and said, "Golden carp are rare treasures of the martial world. They only bite when the fish is willing. Just watch and learn from the sidelines!"
"Uh... okay."
Bai Zhantang doesn't argue with people. He just lets them say whatever they want and then sees if they're empty-handed later.
The old man in the blue robe found a stool, sat calmly by the river, and began to fish.
Everyone watched the lake in silence, wanting to see what a real-life version of "willing to take the bait" would be like.
Half an hour passed, and the river remained perfectly calm.
"Ahem, did this fish go visiting someone today?"
