C289 Victory and Defeat Had Been Decided

The cold wind was like a knife, blowing on the old man's strong back like a giant wave hitting hard rocks. Although Shen Yuru was old, he still persisted in practicing martial arts every day. Moreover, the time and place of each practice basically did not change.

Li Yuan, this was an ordinary house. The owner of this house was rumored to be the Little Li Flying Dagger, who had the best martial arts and moral character in the Pugilistic World many years ago. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years had passed. The Little Li Flying Dagger from back then had disappeared without a trace, but Li Yuan was still smiling brightly.

The mottled doorframe seemed to show the power and prestige of the Li family in the past. The two big words seemed to be telling the world that the Li family had not declined. Unfortunately, in the past few hundred years, Li Yuan had changed hands several times and now he had fallen into Young Master Wuyue's hands.

Back then, Young Master Wuyue had given this mansion to his son, the current Young Master Wuyue. And now, Young Master Wuyue had given this mansion to Shen Yuru.

The owner of the mansion was constantly changing, but there was no change at all. This was the charm of Li Yuan. Shen Yuru was a person who respected the ancient people, especially people like Xiao Li, who was a legend in the martial arts world. Shen Yuru did not dare to be neglectful.

Even if this was a legend. . . Shen Yuru would not dare to act recklessly in this garden. Therefore, ever since Shen Yuru obtained this garden, he rarely lived here. Every day, he would only come to the backyard of this garden to cultivate.

This had been his habit for more than ten years, and it was very rare for it to change. Today was just like usual. Shen Yuru had arrived at the Li Garden early in the morning. The backyard of the garden was not as luxurious and magnificent as it was carved with jade, but it was as clear and refined as the jade of a small family.

Large amounts of fake hills surrounded the lake. The surroundings were covered with green vines. The flowers on the vines had withered long ago, but the branches and leaves were still fresh. After circling around the fake mountains, there was a jade-green pool of water in front of him.

The watery light was overflowing and rippled slightly. It reflected the blue sky and white clouds in the pool water, appearing even more vivid and lifelike. Half of the pond water was filled with lotus flowers. In this season, the lotus flowers withered and the lotus leaves withered. Occasionally, a few birds would fly over from outside the courtyard and land on the withered lotus leaves.

This caused the lotus leaves to seem to have regained their former vitality. The birds lowered their heads and quietly observed the calm surface of the water. Suddenly, a breeze blew past and wrinkled a pool of lake water. The bird plunged into the lake with lightning speed.

The splashing water touched the lotus leaves. When it came up again, the bird had a fat little fish in its mouth. This kind of scene could be seen almost a few times a day.

Shen Yuru was practicing his ink blade technique in the yard. Mozi Saber Technique emphasized defense as an attack, emphasizing the protracted battle. Therefore, every person who practiced Mozi Blade Technique had a very strong physique, because they needed to be able to withstand more pressure and blows than their opponent. Therefore, most of the Mozi Saber Technique inheritors had very good physiques, and they were all very strong.

Therefore, although Shen Yuru was already over sixty years old, his physique was still very strong. It was completely impossible to tell that he was nearly old and thin. Shen Yuru's moves were full of variations, but in the end, he always paid attention to the word 'steady'. As long as his saber technique was stable, then no matter how fierce his opponent was, it didn't matter to him.

He was afraid that his opponent's fierce general would break his own stability. If that was the case, it wouldn't be easy to clean up the mess. Because once he lost his balance, it would be very difficult to pick up the feeling he had at that time.

A decisive battle was usually something that happened in a split second. Hence, it was especially important to maintain one's stability. During a decisive battle, your opponent will not give you a second chance to adjust your condition.

Shen Yuru had been practicing, but he did not know that there was someone behind him who was constantly approaching him. Gong Ziyu's loud laughter interrupted Shen Yuru's practice. Shen Yuru turned around and wiped the sweat off his face. He saw Gong Ziyu here.

This place couldn't be considered to be hidden, but it was also a private residence. If there was no news, someone would barge in. That could only mean that the guards here had already been bribed by this person.

Gong Ziyu was rich and powerful, and he was also Young Master Wuyue's brother. It was naturally not difficult for him to bribe these guards. Shen Yuru did not get angry because of this. Instead, he was moved by Gong Ziyu's purpose of coming here. He felt strange. "I did not expect you to appear here. Could it be that your scheme did not succeed that day, so you came here to cause trouble now? Then you have found the wrong person! "

Shen Yuru had always been very tough. Gong Ziyu knew this very well. He shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Venerable Shen really looks down on me, Gong Ziyu. I'm naturally here to apologize. I want to mend our relationship with you. "

Shen Yuru glanced at him and said with a cold smile. "You want to mend your relationship with me? Our relationship has been maintained for so many years. Is there a need to repair it?"

Gong Ziyu said with a smile. "There is, there is. Of course there is. If we don't repair it, how do you know that after we repair our relationship. . . Will there be a new scene in Wuyue Sect? "

Shen Yuru said coldly. "How do you plan to mend your relationship with me? Are you just going to say a few words? If that's the case, then our relationship has already been restored. Please return. "

Gong Ziyu shook his head. "It's not that simple. Not only did I come to talk to you today, I also brought you an apology. Just treat it as my sincerity!"

Shen Yuru frowned and said, "Compensation? Then what exactly is this apology? After putting it down, you can leave. " Gong Ziyu sighed," It seems like Venerable Shen doesn't want to mend our relationship, but it doesn't matter. As long as you see this apology gift, you will definitely be willing to mend your relationship with me. After all, this gift is very heavy. "

Shen Yuru knew that there must be a trick behind this, but he still wanted to see what this gift was. He nodded. "In that case, please show me the gift. "

Gong Ziyu quickly nodded and said. "Alright, alright, alright. Come on, bring the gift over. " A servant brought a gift box over. This servant was actually a person from his own manor. Shen Yuru immediately raised his vigilance. Why would this servant from his manor come here and listen to Gong Ziyu's orders for no reason?

Shen Yuru had an ominous feeling. Perhaps, when he left the manor, Shen Prefecture was attacked by Gong Ziyu. Perhaps, it had already fallen into Gong Ziyu's hands.

However, this shouldn't be the case, because the Shen family had hundreds of powerful Mo practitioners protecting them. Moreover, Shen Yuru's eldest disciple, Li Yi, was also in the Prefecture. Li Yi was Shen Yuru's favorite disciple. Although he wasn't the one with the highest martial arts amongst Shen Yuru's disciples, he was still the most loyal. As long as Li Yi was here, nothing would happen to Shen family.

Shen Yuru took a deep breath and called out to his subordinate, "Open it. " The servant heard the order and hurriedly opened the gift box. The moment the gift box was opened, Shen Yuru's entire face turned ashen.

This gift box actually contained Li Yi's head! It seemed like Shen Prefecture had already been attacked by Gong Ziyu, and they had already succeeded! If such a major event happened in Qiantang City, it would surely cause a huge uproar. Moreover, they would need at least a thousand men to attack Shen Prefecture. Therefore, it was impossible that Young Master Wuyue didn't know about it.

Shen Yuru felt nauseous and almost vomited. He glared at Gong Ziyu fiercely. He gritted his teeth, wishing he could burn Gong Ziyu's bones and burn him to ashes.

Gong Ziyu sneered and said, "I know what you are thinking. Let me tell you. I only used four people to take down Shen Prefecture. Of course, these four people. . . They are enough to match your hundred inkers. The others are safe, but your eldest disciple is really insensible. Why must he resist? I specially sent him here for you to discipline him properly. "

Shen Yuru's body was trembling with anger. He waved his hand, and the long blade on his waist was taken off. He rushed towards Gong Ziyu. At this moment, he was in a state of attack. He didn't have the slightest intention to defend himself, because there was no need for him to defend himself against a crippled Gong Ziyu.

However, he was wrong. When his blade was about to touch Gong Ziyu's throat, two blades appeared in front of him at the same time, blocking his path. The other two blades appeared behind him and pierced towards his back.

At this moment, Shen Yuru was attacked from both sides. Just as he was about to turn around to defend, the two blades in front of him had already pierced his shoulders. Fresh blood immediately gushed out. Shen Yuru jumped and was hit twice on his back.

These four blades came too quickly. They were originally not allowed to let Shen Yuru defend. This was the flaw of the decisive battle. Gong Ziyu was the bait, and he had provoked Shen Yuru. The real attacker was hiding in the dark.

When Shen Yuru completely gave up on defending, the four of them would attack again. The outcome of the battle had already been decided before they attacked.
