"I love this feeling." Wu Lai smiled and said in his heart.
Only a weirdo like him would imagine himself as a peerless master at such a moment, such as Xiao Li Feidao or Ximen Chuxue.
But at least one thing is the same, they all have the spirit of "I will go forward even if there are thousands of people against me".
Wu Lai has always felt that momentum is very important during a fight. If the momentum is good, one can generally perform at one's best. If the momentum is low, one may not even have 70% of the combat power.
This is why Wu Lai admires vultures - putting aside the vulture's impressive combat capabilities, its aura during a fight is like that of a god of war.
Of course, not everyone would think that Wu Lai was full of aura and master-like demeanor at this moment. On the contrary, when the onlookers saw Wu Lai, they imagined helplessness and fear.
"Oh my God, how did he provoke Khufu?" someone asked.
"Look, Wulaglindo is so pitiful that there is no one willing to help him." Someone else said.
"Oh..." More than that, it was just a sigh, with a bit of sympathy and a bit of excitement.
Naturally, they were excited. Challenges were allowed in the academy, so fighting was not uncommon. However, hundreds of people "challenging" one person was something that had never happened before.
…
Rini and David have moved to another window because the view there is better.
"David, try this, Woolley's masterpiece." Lini handed a monocular telescope to David, and picked up another one himself, saying as he looked at it.
"It's amazing." David praised as he looked at it, "I also booked one, but I heard it will take at least half a month to get it."
Lini frowned, "What is Wu Lai doing? Why is he still alone?"
…
Wu Lai stopped only ten steps away from Khufu. Then, he turned the wooden sword, exerted force with his wrist, and poked the tip of the sword into the grass beside him and stood there.
"Wuliglindo, you are so brave!" Khufu raised his voice with a sneer, his eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and suddenly raised his arm...
"I am Hufu Duncan!" Hufu almost shouted, "I came here today specifically to find Wuleglindo because this guy humiliated my friend. Humiliating my friend is equivalent to humiliating me! Now, I will give you a choice! Those who are willing to be friends with me, Hufu, raise your right arm like me! Otherwise, stand with Wuleglindo and let me deal with it together!"
As soon as Khufu finished speaking, some people started raising their hands, and then more and more people did so. Many people even stood on tiptoe and shook their arms desperately, trying to get Khufu's attention.
Of course, there were people who didn't raise their hands, such as Eddie Shuman's group, and some people who were already friends with Khufu, but they still watched Khufu's eyes carefully, because they all knew that this guy was moody and very difficult to deal with.
As expected, everyone responded to his call, and Khufu's vanity was naturally satisfied to the greatest extent. Of course, he did not see clearly which people raised their names and which did not, but that was not important. What was important was that he saw Wu Lai's frustration and anxiety.
If Wu Lai knew that he was being looked at like this by Hu Fu, he would definitely protest - How could I be depressed or uneasy? I just had a sneer on my lips!
However, Khufu's move made Wu Lai look at him with a higher opinion. This guy's move was not bad. He isolated Wu Lai right from the start. If anyone else was treated like this, their momentum would surely drop to the lowest point.
There was suddenly more sympathy in everyone's eyes when they looked at Wu Lai. Of course, there were also many people who gloated over his misfortune.
"Very good! I am very satisfied!" Khufu laughed and pointed his whip at Wu Lei, "Wu Lei Glindo! Do you see it? This is what people want!"
"Foolish Khufu, the one who made them side with you was the Duncan family." Wu Lai gave Khufu a sneer, "If you don't believe me, you can ask."
"Hmph! Let's speak with facts! No matter how you think it is yours, no one dares to stand with you now!" Khufu frowned. Although he was ridiculous and incompetent, he was not stupid. He naturally knew that what Wu Lai said was true.
"Wait!" Gulu's voice came from the crowd, "I am standing with Wu Lai!"
After saying that, Guru smiled bitterly and shook his head, squeezed out of the crowd, and walked quickly to Wu Lai's side.
"Idiot, didn't we agree that you shouldn't show up? This is my private matter." Wu Lai couldn't help but scold.
"I can't help it." Gulu shrugged with a smile, "Although I know it's a bit stupid to do this, I have to stand with you. After all, we are friends."
Before Wu Lai could reply, a clear and pleasant voice came from the crowd: "And us."
Everyone was surprised and couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound, only to see the beautiful Ye Renwu calmly holding Helen's arm, and they both walked out of the circle of people and came to Wu Lai's side.
"Oh my god, you three really love to act out this kind of emotional drama." Wu Lai laughed, "Don't you know that peerless masters are all lonely and tragic?"
The three of them were stunned, wondering what Wu Lai was trying to express.
"Good job! You three, just wait to bear the wrath of me, Khufu Duncan!" Khufu frowned and shouted angrily. The appearance of Gulu, Helen and Night Blade Dancer was undoubtedly a provocation to Khufu.
"Not three! It's four!" A voice like a bell came from the crowd. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Odo, like an iron tower, had quickly walked towards Wu Lai.
"Cousin Odo?" Khufu was not angry this time, but his face was full of disbelief. Odo's Lytius family and the Duncan family had been friends for generations, and the marriage had been done several times.
"Sorry, I'm late. I was just practicing the free-hand fighting techniques you taught me and I was fascinated by them." Oddo said to Wu Lai with a smile.
"He is your cousin? I've never heard you mention him." Wu Lai responded with a smile.
"Do you think I have the nerve to mention a cousin like this?" Oddo laughed and said in a low voice. There was nothing wrong with standing up to support Wu Lai, because he knew that Khufu would not dare to do anything to him. However, if Khufu heard what he said just now, given his rogue character, he would definitely use this as a topic of conversation in both families.
"Odo!" Khufu glanced at Odo and asked unhappily, "Why are you here to join in the fun? Can't you tell who is your own people?"
Upon hearing this, Odo immediately put away his smile and pointed at the people brought by Khufu: "Khufu, you are bringing shame to the Duncan family."
"That's none of your business." Khufu waved his hand and looked at Wulai, "Wulai Glindo, do you want to use Odoritius as your shield?"
"No!" Wu Lai answered simply, "I'll take care of my own business. You can use whatever tricks you have."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That's great! I want you to say that!" Khufu became even more impatient when he heard the discussion on the side. "Wu Lai, stop talking nonsense. No matter whether you knew my identity when you offended me before, you are still a man of courage."
Woolley smiled slightly, and at the same time, a smile also appeared on the corner of Rini's mouth.
"David, what do you think of this situation?" asked Lini.
"Father, I dare not make any rash judgment." David replied with a smile. Although it seemed that Wu Lai was outnumbered and isolated and at a disadvantage, David knew that it was only a matter of time before the impasse was broken. However, it was difficult to judge how it would be broken, because no one knew what tricks Khufu would play.
"So, I'm willing to give you a chance." Khufu grinned, "Wu Lai, as long as you kneel down on one knee in front of my horse, admit your mistake to me, and apologize to my friends, I promise that you can go home safely."
The whispers suddenly started again. Some people thought that Khufu was being too light-hearted, while others felt that this was a complete humiliation for Khufu. However, no matter what they felt, everyone was waiting for Wu Lai's choice in speculation.
"You guys step aside first, give me a chance to be vain." Wu Lai said to Guru and others with a smile, and then he coaxed and persuaded them to the edge of the circle, and then slowly walked back to the front of Khufu's horse ten steps.
"I know you're afraid of me!" Wu Lai pointed at Khufu with a smile, "But I didn't expect you to be so afraid?"
Wu Lai's voice was very loud, and as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.
"He's crazy," someone said.
"He is really shameless." someone else said.
Khufu was furious. Wu Lai was defaming him openly. He was furious and said no more nonsense to Wu Lai. He whipped his horse whip and said, "Surround him!"
At a shout, sixty-four ceremonial armored soldiers ran quickly and surrounded Wu Lai in a square formation in the blink of an eye.
"Father, they actually used a prisoner-capturing shield formation to deal with Wulai Grindo." David put down the telescope. Most of the ceremonial soldiers were tall, and their helmets were decorated with red ostrich feathers. Although Wulai was not short, he was blocked by this formation and could not see anything.
"This Khufu is so vicious. I thought he was just showing off his power." Lini suddenly cursed, "I didn't expect that he would use ceremonial armored soldiers to set up this shield formation to capture prisoners. This is bad. Wu Lai may not know this."
David was stunned for a moment, then he understood. Crashing into the ceremonial guards and soldiers was equivalent to crashing into Wei Huo. According to the law, he would be punished for trespassing into the military camp and causing trouble.
Lini's worries were unnecessary, as Oddo had already reminded him loudly as soon as Woolley was surrounded.
"Khufu! Is this all you can do?" Wu Lai frowned, stretched out his hand, and picked up the wooden sword that was previously stuck in the grass.
Khufu laughed and said, "My cousin Odo is right. If you push them, you will be intruding into the barracks. Then, you will be judged by the legion."
Wu Lai glanced quickly and saw that the sixty-four ceremonial armored soldiers had blocked the four sides tightly, without even a gap, and they were still getting closer. Perhaps to give Khufu time to speak, their speed was not fast.
"Khufu, you are bringing shame to the Duncan family by doing this!" Odo rushed to Khufu's horse angrily.
"Hmph, my dear cousin Odo, put away your unrealistic justice. In this world, whoever is powerful will stand at the top. You don't care what method I use to deal with him! Today I want to let him know, and let everyone see, what the power of power is!" Khufu shouted angrily and raised his whip, "Surround him! Let him have no place to stand! If he dares to resist, kill him on the spot!"
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding exclamations, sighs, and discussions suddenly became one...
At a window somewhere, Ibe glanced at Huban and asked, "Don't you think that Hufu is a bit too much?"
Hu Ban sighed and nodded: "This kid is such a ruffian, a coward, he only resorts to such despicable means."
