Chapter 18: Lady Guo is panicked

As soon as Su Chen said this, the entire inn instantly fell silent.

The onlookers were all stunned, looking at each other, unable to say a word.

Everyone knew Guo Daxia's Wu Gong.

Everyone also understood Guo Daxia's status in the current Jianghu.

But that Su Chen would predict Guo Daxia's ending like this was something everyone had never expected.

This matter is not hard to understand.

After all,

Everyone knew clearly how fierce the Mongols were and how cruel the Mongol cavalry was.

With Guo Daxia's Wu Gong, dealing with dozens or even a hundred Mongol cavalrymen would naturally be no problem.

He could even take the enemy's head amidst ten thousand troops.

But if he encountered ten thousand, or even hundreds of thousands of Mongol cavalry, and had to fight off the enemy while defending Xiangyang...

That was clearly not something a Grandmaster-level person like Guo Jing could handle!

In the current comprehensive martial arts world, the last person who could handle hundreds of thousands of troops single-handedly

was the Heavenly Blade Song Que of the Great Sui Dynasty,

and the old man Wang Xianzhi of the Liyang Dynasty!

Only these two god-like figures could create such fierce battle records.

But those two were top-tier experts in the Land Immortal realm!

They were far from being comparable to a Grandmaster like Guo Jing!

Although the Grandmaster realm and the Land Immortal realm are only separated by one layer,

it is precisely this layer that spans like a chasm.

Ordinary people might not be able to cross it even if they practiced for a lifetime!

Not to mention that Land Immortals are extremely rare, considered one of the rarest species in this comprehensive martial arts world.

And now that Guo Jing is over forty, he has basically practiced all the Wu Gong he should have, and it is very difficult to make any major breakthroughs in Wu Dao.

To want to raise his martial arts realm further and enter the Land Immortal realm is basically impossible.

In other words, the Grandmaster realm is Guo Jing's Wu Dao end point!

But as Su Chen said, how could a Grandmaster handle hundreds of thousands of Mongol cavalry, especially when there are experts of the Grandmaster level in the enemy's ranks?

Thinking of this, the audience at the Half-Moon Inn could no longer hold back and began to discuss it one after another.

"No way? If there are three hundred thousand Mongol cavalry plus two Grandmasters, then Guo Daxia is in danger?"

"In that case, what's the point of fighting! Better pack up the valuables and run away with the wife and kids!"

"That's not how you say it. Guo Daxia has been loyal and righteous his whole life; how could he abandon the city at a critical moment?"

"Then what does Mr. Su mean? Could it be that Lady Guo, young as she is, will end up a widow?"

"No way? If Lady Guo becomes a widow, I really don't know who will benefit in the end!!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! You guys are just young! If I had to choose between Lady Guo and the Second City Master, I would still think Lady Guo is better. As for the reason... those who know, know..."

"Yes, yes, yes! After all that, this brother's words make sense! May I ask this brother's name?"

"I do not change my name or surname; I am Lu Xiaofeng!"

At this moment,

Lady Guo's complexion turned from rosy to pale upon hearing this.

Upon careful thought, she realized that what Su Chen said was not without reason!

For these years, the Mongols have been eyeing Xiangyang City, and the Mongol army's ambition for the Great Song Dynasty has long been no secret.

And to destroy the Great Song, the most important thing is to take Xiangyang.

Once Xiangyang is conquered, the entire hinterland of the Great Song will be exposed,

and hundreds of thousands of troops will drive straight down to take Lin'an!

At that time, there will be nowhere to hide!

This is the most correct strategy for destroying a country!!

It is precisely because of this that Guo Jing has been stationed in Xiangyang with tens of thousands of Gai Gang disciples.

And Lady Guo has also staked everything she has alongside everyone else to defend Xiangyang.

She had thought that if everyone gave their all, they could keep Xiangyang safe and sound in the end.

But if the Mongols really do as Mr. Su said and gather hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the next few years, and even bring in more Grandmaster-level experts... ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
