Chapter 126 Sword Demon Valley
"Wow! What a huge eagle!"
Yang Guo was startled and quickly retreated.
Gu Qianbei shielded Yang Guo behind him, his gaze fixed on the Divine Condor, without moving or speaking.
He wasn't sure if the Divine Eagle harbored any ill intentions towards them, so for now, the best course of action was to remain unchanged and wait for the right opportunity.
If the Condor Heroes made a move, he would immediately take Yang Guo away.
Of course, this possibility is unlikely.
After all, the Serpent King Bosqu was the Condor Hero's mortal enemy. The Condor Hero should be grateful to him for killing the Serpent King Bosqu.
The Divine Condor glanced at the dead Bodhi Serpent King, then looked at Gu Qianbei and Yang Guo, and let out two cries.
"Master, it seems like he's asking us if we killed the snake."
Yang Guo said.
"Huh? You understand bird language?"
Gu Qianbei asked in surprise.
"I was just guessing."
Yang Guo scratched his head and gave an awkward smile.
Gu Qianbei smiled upon hearing this, then bowed slightly to the Divine Eagle: "Brother Eagle, we did indeed kill this snake."
The eagle cried out twice more, its voice clearly showing great joy.
"Looks like you guessed pretty accurately."
Gu Qianbei looked at Yang Guo and smiled.
"Good luck."
Yang Guo smiled modestly.
The divine eagle flapped its wings, pointed to the corpse of the Bosqu Snake King, and then cried out twice.
Gu Qianbei didn't understand, but turned to look at Yang Guo, and the meaning was clear.
"Could you translate this for me?"
Yang Guo pondered for a moment, then said, "Master, it seems to be asking us if we can give it the snake's gall bladder."
"Snake gall?"
Gu Qianbei suddenly realized.
This divine eagle feeds on the gallbladder of the Bosqu Snake, so the gallbladder of the Bosqu Snake King must be an unparalleled delicacy to it.
Now that they have seen him dead, they disregarded all pride and directly demanded the money.
Speaking of which, the snake king's gall would definitely be better for brewing wine, but compared to the sword demon's legacy behind the friendship in The Return of the Condor Heroes, Gu Qianbei felt that the latter was more valuable.
He himself might not need it, but it was Yang Guo's opportunity, and perhaps he could get it ahead of time.
"If Brother Eagle likes it, then I'll give it to you."
Gu Qianbei spoke.
Upon hearing this, the Divine Eagle flapped its wings joyfully twice, then pecked at the Bosqu Snake King with its sharp beak, immediately snatching out the emerald green snake gall and swallowing it in one gulp.
It made a gurgling sound, just like eating a raw egg.
The eagle immediately showed delight, flapping its wings with a joyful expression.
"It seems very happy."
Yang Guo translated for himself.
"I could tell without you telling me."
Gu Qianbei complained.
The eagle cried out twice more, flapped its wings, and pointed to a spot not far away.
"It tells us to go with him."
Yang Guo continued to respond.
Gu Qianbei's eyes lit up. It seemed that he had successfully gained the friendship of the Condor Heroes and was going to take the two of them to the Sword Tomb.
"Then let's go with Brother Diao."
Gu Qianbei packed his things and left with Yang Guo and the Condor Heroes.
They followed in the footsteps of the Divine Eagle and soon arrived at a remote valley.
The valley is near a waterfall and has a secluded, idyllic feel to it.
"The Sword Demon really knows how to pick a location."
Gu Qianbei thought to himself.
"Master, where is this giant eagle taking us?"
Yang Guo asked curiously.
"This giant eagle is a strange beast with immense strength, far surpassing any ordinary giant eagle."
The place it takes us to may be a matter of chance.
We'll just follow carefully; there's no need to worry too much.
Hearing Gu Qianbei say this, Yang Guo felt a little relieved.
Before long, the two people and the eagle arrived in the valley.
The eagle suddenly stopped, flapped its wings, and pointed at Gu Qianbei.
"Master, it seems like it wants to have a match with you."
Yang Guo continued to enthusiastically act as the translator.
Gu Qianbei raised an eyebrow, knowing that Shen Diao wanted to test his strength before deciding whether to pass on the Sword Demon's legacy to him.
"Brother Eagle, I would be honored to receive your guidance."
As Gu Qianbei spoke, he already held the Stop-Cup Sword in his hand.
With the activation of internal energy, a three-foot-long sword blade suddenly emerged from the still cup.
Although he had seen it several times before, Yang Guo still felt a hint of envy in his eyes when he saw this scene.
"Master's move was so cool. I wonder when my Golden Light Mantra will reach such a level."
When the Condor saw the sword that suddenly appeared, a look of human-like surprise appeared on its face.
"Brother Eagle, please!"
Gu Qianbei spoke again, and then the Divine Eagle came to its senses and let out a low cry.
Battle begins!
With the sword in hand, Gu Qianbei immediately launched his attack with the move "White Sun Dawn".
A dazzling crimson light emanated from the Stop Cup Sword, unleashing an astonishing sword aura.
Then, Gu Qianbei pushed off with his feet, his speed instantly soaring, and he thrust out his sword!
But the Divine Eagle used its wings as swords to sweep out!
boom!
When the wings collided with the Stop Cup Sword, Gu Qianbei felt as if he had hit a stubborn rock.
The vibration from the sword hilt made him feel a slight numbness in the palm of his hand.
"What incredible strength! Is this the strength you get from eating bosom snake gallbladders year after year?"
Gu Qianbei was shocked and immediately retreated to dissipate the force.
After just one move, Gu Qianbei had a general understanding of the Divine Eagle's strength, and he no longer held back, unleashing the Eclipse Sword Technique in succession.
Sword after sword, the swordplay grew increasingly astonishing, carrying a terrifying heat that caused the temperature of the entire valley to rise slightly.
"Master's swordsmanship is truly amazing."
Upon seeing this, Yang Guo's eyes gleamed with admiration.
He had seen Gu Qianbei use the Eclipse Sword Technique before, but this was the first time he had seen it performed so completely.
Now his eyesight has also greatly improved, and he can see the amazing power hidden in this sword technique.
The clearer he understood it, the more moved he became.
With such a great master, the future is sure to be bright.
"Fire Scales Eclipse the Sun!"
Gu Qianbei finished with his final move, Fire Kirin Eclipse, where scorching sword energy condensed into a fire kirin that pounced on the Divine Eagle.
The Divine Eagle's eyes narrowed, and a hint of sword intent appeared in them.
The next moment, it neither dodged nor avoided, but charged towards the fire qilin like a sharp sword!
boom!
Divine Eagle VS Fire Qilin!
The next moment, the fire qilin shattered and scattered, while the divine eagle seemed to be reborn from the flames, flying out of the fire.
However, it also had several burn marks on its body, making it look rather disheveled.
The eagle let out a low cry again, but this time it was tinged with excitement and elation.
"Brother Condor is highly skilled; his every move even carries a hint of sword intent. I admire him."
Let's end this battle here.
If this continues, I fear someone will get hurt.
Gu Qianbei has already demonstrated his current level of swordsmanship. If he still cannot satisfy Shen Diao, then he can only wait until later.
Upon hearing this, the Divine Eagle nodded in agreement, then flapped its wings and led the way once more.
"Master, it's telling us to follow it again."
Yang Guo stepped forward and said.
"Let's go then."
