No one went to chase after Gu Shaoxuan. No one panicked.
“Aunt Jing Lan, can you please bring that guy back?” Ji Ruo asked.”
Jing Lan was a half-step five-star Wind God Falcon. She was the darling of the wind. With Ji Ruo’s help, she had mastered the Lightning Intent. She was extremely fast. When she flapped her wings at full speed, it was as if she had teleported within a few thousand meters.
“Chirp -(Good…)”
Jing Lan was about to chase after him when the swordsman suddenly said, ‘”‘No matter what, you guys are guests. There’s no need to trouble you with such a small matter.”
As the swordsman spoke, he finally unsheathed his sword in front of Ji Ruo for the first time.
“Old Gu, watch my sword.”
Gu Xing Zhou’s eyes widened when he heard this. He thought that the swordsman wanted to show him some powerful sword move that he had never seen before. He couldn’t help but be curious.
What other moves had this swordsman not seen before?
Ji Ruo was also fully focused. With his comprehension, no matter what sword move he saw, he was confident that he could learn it in the shortest time possible!
“Ahhh!”
Screams rang out in succession, accompanied by a mournful meow.
One was Gu Shaoxuan, the other two were Ji Ruo and Gu Xing Zhou, and the cat’s meow was naturally Luo Qian’s…
When the sword was unsheathed, the pure and sharp sword intent made Ji Ruo’s eyes light up. He could not help but raise his hand to block it. The sword light when the swordsman drew the sword was so dazzling that it lit up half of the Eight Treasures Stronghold like daytime. Ji Ruo was caught off guard and was almost blinded…
Even Chen MO, who had fallen into a deep sleep from playing on Ji Ruo’s head, was awakened. He subconsciously used the power of his inner demons to condense a dialog box above Ji Ruo’s head.
“F * ck! Whose lights are so flashing!”
Gu Xing Zhou rubbed his reddened eyes as tears fell like rain. He cursed,[lf you don’t shine, you don’t know how to use a sword, do you?] It’s too disgusting!”
Ji Ruo wasn’t any better, but he didn’t blame the swordsman. He wiped his tears and reminisced about the sword just now.
Not only was that sword extremely dazzling, but its power was also not weak.
The sword Qi spread out, and the distance of several thousand meters was covered in an instant. Even though Gu Shaoxuan possessed the strong intuition of an Aureate Body realm martial artist, he only had time to turn his body slightly. Even so, his body was cut off from his left shoulder to his right hip by the sword light, and he fell into the distance.
A long sword mark appeared on the ground. After a few seconds, the grass around the sword mark slowly shattered into dust and dissipated with the wind. The sword was able to cut through the body of an Aureate Body realm martial artist even though it was thousands of meters long. This sword was terrifying!
Not to mention Gu Shaoxuan, even Ji Ruo and Gu Xingzhou, who were clearly not directly slashed, were affected by the sharp sword intent. The shadows under them split into three, as if they were also cut apart by the terrifying sword intent…
Even though the Wind God Falcon had already received the Swordsman’s secret voice transmission and had closed its eyes long ago, it could not completely ignore the sword light. When it opened its eyes again, there were only double images in its eyes. It was shocked but also a little lucky. Fortunately, the warrior who chased after her back then did not use a sword…
The Sacred Mountain Tree was not affected too much. He was not a normal flesh demon and did not have the naked eye. Naturally, his vision would not be affected by the sword light.
Even so, the two demons swore in their hearts that they would never be enemies with humans in this life. Who said that?
“Let’s go and collect his body. The Law Enforcement Division wants to see see him. “The swordsman had sheathed his sword and walked toward the place where Gu Shaoxuan’s body was scattered.
“You’ve already hacked him to death, so why would the Law Enforcement
Division still want to see him?!” Gu Xing Zhou said as he wiped his tears.” Swordsman shook his head slightly and said,” The Law Enforcement Division only said that they wanted to see him. They didn’t say whether they wanted to see him alive or dead. I heard that there was some god here, so I came to try to kill him. Helping the Law Enforcement Division capture him was just a passing thing.”
Anyway, I caught him.”
“Then why did you dodge me!”
“I’m happy to.” The swordsman chuckled.
Gu Xing Zhou wiped his tears and scolded the swordsman for being unkind.
Ji Ruo had tears streaming down her face. She had to comfort Luo Qian, who was also almost blinded by the light, in a low voice. After Luo Qian felt a little better, she asked, “Uncle, can you tell me the name of that sword just now?”
“What’s wrong? You want to learn?”
“Yes, I do.” Ji Ruo didn’t argue.
“Watch my sword,” the swordsman said with a smile.” Ji Ruo:
“That’s the name of the sword move,” said the swordsman.
“???”Ji Ruo’s mouth twitched.”
“How can it be sloppy?” The swordsman shook his head slightly.” Then what do you think this move should be called? Sword techniques were used to kill, and sword techniques did not have so many fancy names.
A sword move, from the moment it was slashed out to the moment it was used up, it only took a split second. In such a short amount of time, what kind of name was it? Or do you like to shout the name of the move first before slashing out with the sword in your hand?”
Ji Ruo wiped her tears thoughtfully.
The Swordsman continued,” Watch my sword move carefully. In addition to the damage of the sword light itself, the sword light also has the effect of blinding. If you practice it well, you can slash a few more times while the enemy is blinded, causing the effect of a sneak attack…
Personally, I don’t advocate shouting out every move. Not only will it not have an unexpected effect, but it will also be easy for the enemy to defend against it. More importantly, the battle situation was ever-changing. From recalling the name of the move to shouting it out to actually making a move, no matter how fast it was, it was still a waste of time. The gains did not make up for the losses.
Of course, it’s all up to personal preference to shout or not. It’s also up to personal preference to shout the correct name of the move. For example, I like to make it up.”
Gu Xing Zhou mercilessly exposed him, “Ji Ruo, don’t listen to him. This guy has a bad memory. He can’t remember anything except the sword style, which is why he came up with such a twisted logic.”
Ji Ruo was speechless.
“But I think what this uncle said makes sense.”
“There is definitely a reason, but it’s too unreasonable… It’s fine if he used this method to deal with the demons, but he even tricked us!” Gu Xing Zhou said resentfully. My eyes are still a little blurry.”
Ji Ruo was speechless.
The few of them chatted as they walked towards Gu Shaoxuan’s corpse.
Since it was the swordsman who had attacked, Gu Shaoxuan would not be able to survive, so they were not in a hurry.
However, after a moment, they looked at the two severed arms on the ground and frowned.
The two severed arms came from the same arm. The flesh near the shoulder was torn, and it looked like it had been forcefully torn off.
The cut on the elbow was as smooth as a mirror. If one looked closely, it would even reflect light. There was no trace of blood.
“Strange, I clearly cut him, how did it suddenly turn into an arm?”The swordsman frowned. Gu Shaoxuan’s martial arts were so strange that even he could not see any flaws.
Gu Xing Zhou did not mock the swordsman, which was rare. He squatted down and pinched the broken arm to examine it carefully.”Substitute body? What kind of martial art was this? It’s too strange…”
“I haven’t found any trace of that human’s life force within a five-kilometer radius,” the Sacred Mountain Tree said slowly.”The body I came here with this time can only detect such a large area for the time being. Eh?”
Luo Qian huddled in Ji Ruo’s arms and whimpered,””Meow!(Master, did I go blind for nothing?)
Ji Ruo was about to comfort Luo Qian when suddenly, a loud noise came from the Eight Treasures Stronghold behind them. They turned around abruptly.
Only then did the Sacred Mountain Tree slowly say, “The underground has been hollowed out. Many demons are coming from underground. I think we should go back now.”
When he finished speaking, he realized that the swordsman had disappeared.
Gu Xing Zhou also grabbed Ji Ruoyun and used the Graceful Fleeting Skill. His body turned into a stream of light as he rushed towards the Eight Treasures Stronghold.
Jing Lan flapped his wings. When Shen Mu finished speaking, he realized that he was the only tree left.
The Sacred Mountain Tree said slowly,”…” Tell me before you leave next time.” After he finished speaking, he moved his thick roots and returned with great momentum.
At this moment, in the center of the Eight Treasures Stronghold, a huge pit had appeared where the five holy statues were originally placed.
Nearly a hundred White Devil Ants, including engineers, were carrying the holy statue and fleeing quickly into the tunnel.
Because they had never been contaminated with human blood, the holy statues were not activated and allowed the white devil ants to carry them away. “How dare you steal from our Great Nia! You’re courting death!”
The swordsman was furious and was about to draw his sword.
Suddenly”Screech!”
Aunty Jing Lan shrieked in the air and said,””There are so many demons over there! It’s a beast tide!”
“Beast Tide?”
The swordsman was stunned for a moment. Gu Xingzhou immediately said,”Old Li, you deal with the Beast Tide. I’ll chase after the statue!”
“Good!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Xing Zhou had already put down Ji Ruo and jumped into the sunken pit.
