Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 14 Don't Touch There
Gu Xiaoxing let out a long sigh, waved the incense in his hand, and cast his gaze towards Du Siyu, his eyes full of disgust.
"If I had come a step later, I might have been left with only a corpse. I wouldn't have survived by then. And you're still talking about protecting me? Humph! Ugly people are more likely to cause trouble. They're really unreliable!"
However, Gu Xiaoxing didn't dare to say this out loud, and only muttered it to himself in his heart. After all, he was also afraid of being held accountable later. With a turn of his eyes, all the disdain in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a look of worry.
"Brother Du, how are you? I'm late! Don't worry, with me, Gu Xiaoxing, here, no one can hurt you again!"
While speaking, Gu Xiaoxing patted his chest, full of sincerity and concern. If he hadn't accidentally patted his own wound and grimaced in pain, Du Siyu would have almost believed it.
Also, what was that fleeting look of disgust just now?
Du Siyu did not answer, but stared at Gu Xiaoxing, as if she was re-recognizing him, recalling the ruthlessness and decisiveness in the other party's eyes when he attacked just now. There is no doubt that the image of Gu Xiaoxing in Du Siyu's mind has undergone a drastic change.
"Brother Du! Are you okay? You must not die!"
Seeing that Du Siyu did not respond, Gu Xiaoxing immediately stepped forward and squatted, placed the burning incense on the ground, and freed up one hand as if to support her.
"Don't touch there... cough... cough!" Du Siyu immediately stopped him and couldn't help coughing up blood again, "My arm bone... is broken, carry... carry me, and escape from the Spiritual Transformation Formation first. As long as our cultivation is restored, we will...! "
However, Du Siyu's words were interrupted by a voice.
"I told you, you can't get away!"
Then, he heard a sound of breaking air behind him. Gu Xiaoxing turned around and suddenly saw a huge rock falling towards him. He immediately activated his cultivation and split the rock into two with one axe.
Huge rocks fell on both sides behind him, stirring up clouds of dust, but Gu Xiaoxing looked straight ahead.
The middle-aged man in front of him was also staring at him, with anger and confusion in his eyes. He said gloomily, "I was careless for a moment and you took advantage of me. Do you really think that you can stop me with your mere third-level Qi Condensation cultivation? If you tell me why you can use your cultivation in the Spirit Transformation Formation, I can consider sparing your life."
"If you don't try, how do you know I can't stop him?" Gu Xiaoxing looked back at Du Siyu, "I'll stop him, and you find a way to escape!"
After saying this, he rushed straight towards the middle-aged man, once again demonstrating his ruthlessness and decisiveness.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed loudly and said, "Escape? With her current injuries, it's hard for her to even move. How can she still want to escape? Since you want to die, I'll let you know that a mere Qi Condensation Level 3 physical cultivator is still a waste!"
Du Siyu smiled bitterly. If she could use her cultivation, she would still have the strength to fight again. But now her cultivation was suppressed and her body was severely injured. She was exhausted and had no strength left to escape.
Looking at the two people fighting in front of her, Du Siyu's eyes were filled with sadness, but suddenly, her nose moved, as if she smelled something strange. Her brows slightly frowned, and when she looked carefully, she saw a burning incense stick placed in front of her. Green smoke rose up and penetrated into her body with her breath...
In the black woods, the two sides had fought dozens of times in a short period of time. Every time the giant hammer struck, there was an explosion; every time the axe chopped, there was another crack. The surroundings were in a mess. In this constant fight, Gu Xiaoxing was always at a disadvantage.
During this period, Gu Xiaoxing secretly roasted a lot of spirit fish. The spirit dishes in the inner kitchen had limited effect on the physical body, but the fish in the spirit pond had a great effect on the physical body. Even though he was only at the third level of Qi Condensation, his physical strength was not weaker than that of an ordinary seventh level Qi Condensation cultivator, and was even stronger inside.
But despite this, facing the middle-aged man's attack, Gu Xiaoxing could only barely parry, gasping for breath. If it weren't for the support of his cultivation, he would have been beaten to pieces long ago.
The fierce fight caused the scabbed wounds on his body to split open again, and blood slowly flowed out. Coupled with the new injuries he had just suffered in the battle, he looked horrible.
However, Gu Xiaoxing gritted his teeth and persisted. He glanced at Du Siyu calmly, thinking secretly in his heart.
“Although I don’t know if she will also build a palace of smoke inside her body, the smoke from the burning incense can at least help her recover from her injuries and hold on for a while longer!”
Although Gu Xiaoxing wanted to delay time, he didn't dare to show it too obviously. If the other party noticed something was wrong, all his efforts would be wasted!
The middle-aged man did not give Gu Xiaoxing a chance to breathe, and rushed forward again with the big hammer. At this moment, he was extremely frustrated. He couldn't even take down a small Qi Condensation Level 3 for a long time! He already understood that the four junior brothers had not returned for a long time, and they must have been killed by this brat.
"hateful!"
The middle-aged man smashed down with a hammer, and even though Gu Xiaoxing blocked it with a big axe, he was still knocked back by the huge force. But suddenly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he ran forward desperately.
Because the middle-aged man suddenly turned around and rushed towards Du Siyu. He wanted to attack the enemy and make him reveal his weakness. If all else failed, he could kill the woman first. But suddenly, he felt a chill on his neck. When he turned around, he saw a sharp axe coming towards him. He immediately swung the hammer at the opponent's head, trying to force him back.
However, Gu Xiaoxing showed a fierce and crazy look on his face. He did not dodge or evade, and continued to swing the axe at the opponent's neck.
To exchange death for death!
The middle-aged man was shocked. He had never seen such a ruthless character in his life. He didn't want to lose his life here. He immediately reduced his strength and changed the direction of the hammer to block the axe. However, facing Gu Xiaoxing's desperate full-strength attack, the middle-aged man obviously reduced his strength, causing him to be directly blown away by the great force.
Gu Xiaoxing hastily steadied his body. The knuckles of his hands had already been cracked, and trickles of blood flowed down the axe handle to the ground. He would never let Du Siyu die. It was not that he was willing to risk his life for Du Siyu, but Du Siyu was his only hope to survive!
But this scene was not the same thing to Du Siyu. At this moment, Du Siyu was staring at Gu Xiaoxing blankly. There was shock and complexity in her beautiful eyes, as if there were something that had never appeared before. She was as quiet as a virgin, and only the curling green smoke kept floating up and drilling into her nose...
boom!
A figure leaped high into the air, and when he landed, the ground beneath his feet cracked. The middle-aged man stared at Gu Xiaoxing, his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire. He actually wanted to remove the Soul Transformation Array, and then use his cultivation to slap the brat to death with a palm.
Glancing into the distance, the middle-aged man saw that Du Siyu's eyes were a little dull at the moment. It was obvious that he was seriously injured, his cultivation was suppressed, his injuries could not be recovered, and he fell into despair.
However, if the Soul Transformation Formation is removed at this moment, the opponent's cultivation will be restored and he will definitely have the strength to fight again. By then, there is no guarantee that she will not have any difficult spells or magic weapons to hold him back and take the opportunity to activate the Golden Bell to attract the strong men from the Soul Devouring Sect.
He doesn't dare to gamble!
"I wonder how long you can hold out!"
The middle-aged man's eyes became extremely sinister, and he rushed towards Gu Xiaoxing as if he wanted to tear him into pieces.
The two sides fought again, sparks flew, roars continued, black trees broke from time to time, leaves fell, and gradually, Gu Xiaoxing finally began to be unable to hold on. His hands shook, and the axe was bounced away, flying out of his hand into the distance, and his whole body was completely exposed under the hammer.
The middle-aged man grinned grimly, raised the sledgehammer and was about to swing it down, as if he had already seen the head exploding.
Phew!
However, the next moment, what was heard was not the sound of a head exploding, but the sound of a sword piercing flesh and blood. The middle-aged man paused and turned his head in daze, only to find that a long sword had pierced his body, and the person holding the sword was Du Siyu.
At this moment, the middle-aged man's eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement. Countless images flashed through his mind in an instant. He turned his head suddenly, and what caught his eye was the burning incense on the ground in the distance with smoke still wafting from it. He was suddenly aware, then dazed, and it was very complicated.
Gu Xiaoxing was also stunned. He didn't know when a big knife appeared in his hand. When he was about to block the falling hammer, the hammer stopped by itself. He suddenly realized that it was Du Siyu who suddenly attacked. However, Gu Xiaoxing reacted quickly and immediately swung the knife. However, his wrist was pinched by a big hand and pulled hard. The whole person flew into the air and hit Du Siyu. The two flew away together.
Gu Xiaoxing struggled to get up and looked at Du Siyu beside him. In an instant, he felt an indescribable anger surge in his heart and he really couldn't hold it back.
"Are you an idiot? Didn't I tell you to escape?"
This sudden roar made Du Siyu's delicate body tremble. She felt a sense of grievance in her heart. Her eyes suddenly became extremely cold. She said to Gu Xiaoxing word by word: "How dare you yell at me?"
"Not only do I want to yell at you, I also want to beat you up!"
In a rage, Gu Xiaoxing almost blurted out the words, but luckily he managed to hold himself back this time. If he had said this, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if he escaped this disaster, he would definitely be beaten up every day when he returned to the sect.
I will endure!
Although I get angrier the more I think about it, who can blame Gu Xiaoxing for being so magnanimous?
