Gu Xitao's outright refusal took Wei Chen by surprise. This was quite disrespectful!
Wei Chen looked at Gu Xitao and said helplessly, "Brother, if you don't help us, it will be difficult to fend off the Bloodshed Shop's attack. Besides, aren't you bored staying alone in the Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm?"
"I'm not bored. Anyway, I'm not going. I'm just not interested." Gu Xitao cast a deep glance at Killing God Senior and lazily replied, "Wei Chen, with Killing God around, is there really a need to worry? Rest assured, back in the day, Killing God fought alone and made the Bloodshed Shop tremble. I believe this time will be no different, if not stronger. After all, Killing God has a new body now, crafted from sword techniques; it should be even stronger than before."
Wei Chen was speechless. Gu Xitao's refusal ultimately stemmed from his connection to Killing God Senior.
Wei Chen could only look longingly at Killing God Senior. He understood that to unlock Gu Xitao's heart, it would have to come from Killing God Senior himself.
But the problem was that Killing God Senior was quite stubborn; he wouldn't ask for help!
Sure enough, Killing God Senior sneered a few times and said, "Gu Xitao, whether you go or not is up to you. You can stay in the Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm and continue wasting away. Without practical experience, do you think you can still dominate? I didn't teach you the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords for you to hide like a turtle here."
Killing God Senior had clearly switched to taunting mode; it was obvious he was trying to provoke Gu Xitao. However, Gu Xitao wasn't falling for it. He sneered back and retorted, "Killing God, don't think I'll be provoked by your tactics; it's useless. You're so capable; just kill them yourself. The people from the Bloodshed Shop are like ants; you're used to fighting alone and don't need my help."
"Besides, you're the great Killing God asking for help from someone like me who isn't even qualified to be your disciple. Do you have any shame?" Gu Xitao scoffed.
Killing God Senior snapped back angrily, "So, are you going or not?"
Killing God Senior wasn't being too stubborn about not wanting Gu Xitao's help; it was clear he was seeking assistance. Being overly tough would serve little purpose; a little bravado was fine, but being stubborn for too long would seem forced.
Sometimes, letting go of so-called Face could be more beneficial. Holding on too tightly not only lacks meaning but also invites disdain.
Upon hearing Killing God Senior's words, Gu Xitao was taken aback. He never expected such a question from him. If Killing God Senior had continued to mock him, he would have kept arguing back. But now that Killing God Senior seemed to soften his stance, Gu Xitao didn't know how to respond.
What he truly desired was to become Killing God Senior's disciple!
That aspiration had already become an obsession ingrained in his very blood. Even after spending so long alone in the Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm, Gu Xitao still clung to that dream.
In fact, being a disciple of Killing God Senior right now brought him no benefits at all. He had already adapted the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords into his own swordsmanship and mastered it, yet his Mental Strength remained abysmally weak, preventing him from practicing the Mental Attack Technique. What could he achieve as a disciple of Killing God Senior?
However, his deep-seated obsession could not be changed. Whenever he saw Killing God Senior, he wanted to have his "legitimate" status acknowledged, but he couldn't help but argue back. His feelings towards Killing God Senior were quite complex. There was certainly resentment, but also gratitude, a fair amount of admiration, and a hint of disdain…
This complicated emotional mix left Gu Xitao at a loss when it seemed that Killing God Senior was softening.
At such times, someone needed to step in to mediate.
That person was Wei Chen.
Wei Chen approached Gu Xitao and bowed deeply, saying, "Excuse me for calling you brother. The situation in the Endless Divine Realm is quite complicated, and I urgently need your help. The Army from Bloodshed Shop will arrive soon, and my goal is to eliminate Bloodshed Shop. However, whether we destroy them or are destroyed ourselves often hinges on just a single thought. The more strength we have, the more assurance we gain. Your combat power is enough to deal with a Twelve-Level Divine Realm Expert, and there are quite a few Twelve-Level Divine Realm Experts in Bloodshed Shop; we are outnumbered."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Gu Xitao pouted and replied, "I can only handle one Twelfth Level Deity? Even if three of those from Bloodshed Shop surrounded me, I could still break through and counterattack."
Wei Chen gave Gu Xitao a thumbs up and exclaimed, "That's even better! Brother, I'm not calling you brother for nothing; you have to come out and help me!"
Gu Xitao smiled wryly; it was rare to meet someone as talkative as Wei Chen. He had no shame and only spoke flattering words…
"Fine, but let me be clear: I'm helping you because of your call for brotherhood, not that old fellow. That old fellow is invincible; he doesn't need help or disciples," Gu Xitao said lightly.
Even though he agreed to help Wei Chen, Gu Xitao couldn't resist mocking Killing God Senior once again.
Killing God Senior merely frowned slightly but said nothing. After all the effort Wei Chen put into this negotiation, Killing God Senior wouldn't ruin Wei Chen's good fortune.
Killing God Senior knew how hard it had been for him to face Bloodshed Shop alone back in the day. He had often found himself surrounded and had narrowly escaped death numerous times. This time around, he couldn't afford to go solo against Bloodshed Shop again. Having assistance was the best option. Gu Xitao's combat power was formidable; he himself was at the Twelfth Level Divine Realm. Although he lacked the True God World and powerful bloodline abilities, his swordsmanship was unparalleled. The swordsmanship derived from Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords was stronger in certain aspects than the original Mental Attack Technique version.
Killing God Senior was confident that Gu Xitao would provide significant help to the Endless Divine Realm. So he endured; no matter how much Gu Xitao mocked him, he would bear it. When Killing God Senior was left alone as just a Soul Body in the Memory Stone space, he realized many things and had tempered much of his arrogance.
However, this tolerance was specific to Gu Xitao; if anyone else had dared to mock Killing God Senior like that, they would likely have faced an immediate soul-shattering strike from Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords.
Gu Xitao, having been left with only his Soul Body after being besieged by the Bloodshed Shop, did not hesitate to confront them himself. He eventually arrived at the Endless Divine Realm in search of Killing God Senior. Even when he couldn't find him, he refused to give up and left behind the Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm within the Endless Divine Realm. Could Killing God Senior not be moved by such determination?
Deep down, he felt a twinge of guilt towards Gu Xitao; it was the foundation of his patience.
Wei Chen smiled as he patted Gu Xitao on the shoulder and said, "Big Brother, I wish you great success in slaying many Twelfth Level Deities from the Bloodshed Shop. The future of the Endless Divine Realm rests on your shoulders."
A high hat was mercilessly placed upon Gu Xitao's head.
However, Gu Xitao was confident and boasted, "Don't worry, with me in action, the Bloodshed Shop will only kneel and beg for mercy."
That was quite a boast...
"Big Brother, please gather your things; let's leave the Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm," Wei Chen said.
Gu Xitao nodded, not even glancing at Killing God Senior as he turned and flew away on his sword.
Sword Control Technique—this skill was flashy and impractical; most people wouldn't use it that way. If one could already fly through the air, using a sword beneath their feet required dividing some Divine Power to control it. To an average person, it seemed like an unnecessary show-off behavior. Such individuals often had eccentric personalities and were difficult to get along with.
Yet Gu Xitao, while he enjoyed flying on his sword and had a quirky personality, was quite easy to interact with. At least, that was how Wei Chen felt.
"Wei Chenzi, once we leave the Sword Absolute Blade Secret Realm, make sure to spend more time with Gu Xitao. His swordsmanship is indeed impressive; if you can learn from him, it would be a great fortune," Killing God Senior advised Wei Chen.
Wei Chen chuckled lightly and shook his head. "Killing God Senior, you know I'm not good at practicing sword techniques. My sword talent is quite low; I won't learn it."
"Having more skills never hurts. Besides, you've used a sword before; your swordsmanship might unknowingly carry some influence from the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords," Killing God Senior remarked.
"That was just for show; using a sword does look cool. Among all combat techniques, swordsmanship is always the strongest and most visually appealing. Unfortunately, my talent for swordsmanship is lacking. For me, having more skills would only add to my burdens," Wei Chen replied calmly.
Killing God Senior shook his head and sighed. "Well then, do as you see fit."
"I won't learn Gu Xitao's Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords, but I can learn from the Shaohuang God King. The Shaohuang God King embodies the sword of the Divine Realm, yet his swordsmanship is not confined to any specific techniques; he wields it with the skill of a divine swordsman. I'll ask him when we get out; perhaps the Shaohuang God King isn't willing to teach either," Wei Chen said with a calm smile.
Killing God Senior was at a loss for words. Such a powerful technique as Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords had fallen to the point where no one wanted to practice it?
What kind of world was this?
"Child, that Shaohuang God King indeed walks the righteous path of swordsmanship, one that does not cling to techniques. That is the true way. However, his combat power is quite weak! If he were to cultivate Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords, it would elevate his fighting ability significantly," Killing God Senior remarked.
Wei Chen shrugged and replied, "Let's see how the Shaohuang God King feels about it; perhaps Gu Xitao is reluctant to pass it on."
"That won't happen. I know that child's character well; as long as someone is willing to learn, he will always be willing to teach. He deliberately wants to show me; he isn't stingy about taking on disciples..." Killing God Senior sighed repeatedly, perplexed by Gu Xitao's extreme desire to have disciples. He had learned everything he needed, and Killing God Senior held nothing back. In fact, in another sense, Gu Xitao had already surpassed his master!
"Taking on disciples is one thing, but does that mean I have to become his disciple just to learn his sword techniques? I wouldn't do that, and I'm sure the Shaohuang God King wouldn't either. Why not let Gu Xitao teach Zuo Leng? Zhang Yuqing is more suited to follow the true path of swordsmanship with the Shaohuang God King, while Zuo Leng's personality fits better with the heavily murderous Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords," Wei Chen analyzed.
Upon hearing this, Killing God Senior thought it over and realized it was indeed true. Both Zhang Yuqing and Zuo Leng were excellent candidates for sword training, but Zhang Yuqing was more suited for a path that did not cling to techniques, while Zuo Leng was proud and indifferent, fitting for Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords.
"Then it's settled. Let Zuo Leng learn swordsmanship from Gu Xitao and pass down the Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords technique. With Bloodshed Shop's battle approaching, we should find suitable individuals and pass on our methods as soon as possible."
Hearing Killing God Senior's words, Wei Chen frowned. Why had Killing God Senior suddenly become so disheartened?
"Killing God Senior, are you worried that if we are killed by Bloodshed Shop's people, our ultimate techniques will be lost?"
