The disciples of the Diming Sect opposite Gu Linruo saw her continuously retreating, not in a hurry, just approaching her at a measured pace...
He wanted this woman to despair completely, to let her know that there was no chance of escape!
After retreating a few more steps, when Gu Linruo's back touched the wall, her complexion grew anxious...
Clearly, there was no room left to retreat!
She thought desperately, "What to do? Am I really going to be defiled by this disgusting guy?!"
No! Absolutely not!
She would rather commit suicide than be tarnished by such a man!
The disciple from the Tian Ming Sect opposite her threw his personal sword aside and sneered, "What, no where to run? Then just surrender obediently. Before I enjoy myself, I won't kill you!"
As his words fell, the ground began to tremble violently...
And through her ring, Gu Linruo sensed immediately that the presence from below was none other than Xu Sheng!
The Diming Sect disciple frowned, annoyed, "Tch, what's with this sudden shaking? But it doesn't matter, it'll save me some effort to enjoy myself!"
With time, location, and harmony on his side, this time he would certainly experience a divine sensation...
However, Gu Linruo's complexion eased considerably, her gaze fixed on the man in front of her...
Upon seeing the fear on Gu Linruo's face disappear, the man licked his thin lips and said, "Eh? Why aren't you scared anymore? Could it be you're ready to..."
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a "bang" as the ground below was instantly torn apart, and the Diming Sect disciple was blasted into the air...
But it wasn't over yet, a terrifying monster beast, tens of meters in size, burst out from below, and its enormous Abyssal Behemoth mouth instantly swallowed him whole...
Then, the Python Snake spat out its tongue and stared at the diminutive Gu Linruo with its dark green vertical pupils...
Gu Linruo, her beautiful eyes reflecting curiosity, looked at the Python Snake that was several tens times bigger than herself. After sensing the spirit force fluctuation from its body, she exclaimed in amazement, "This... this is a Nascent Soul Stage monster beast?"
Then, a figure jumped down from the back of the Python Snake, and it was indeed Xu Sheng!
He walked over to Gu Linruo and asked with concern, "Senior Sister Gu, are you alright?"
Gu Linruo took out an elixir and swallowed it, stopping the internal injuries, and then shook her head with a slightly pale face, "I'm fine, Junior Brother Xu. This monster beast is?"
Xu Sheng glanced at the Python Snake, which now seemed extremely docile, and explained, "Right when I entered, I happened to see it, so I took action to tame it."
Gu Linruo's beautiful eyes narrowed, as if she remembered something, and asked urgently, "Junior Brother Xu, have you found the others?"
Xu Sheng shook his head, "No."
Since entering, all he had seen was this monster beast!
Gu Linruo's face became solemn, "Mo Hen originally transported with me to this place, but he, Xu Wei, and Liu Yun seem to be planning to secretly kill disciples from other sects!"
"In that case, it could deepen the rift between the Xuantian Sect and the other three sects; war isn't an impossibility!"
"Is that so? What's the cultivation level of the other three sects' Sect Masters?"
After pondering for a moment, Gu Linruo answered, "The cultivation levels of the other three sects' Sect Masters are all at the Divinity Transformation Stage!"
Xu Sheng's lips curved up slightly, "Then there's nothing to worry about! Senior Sister Gu, didn't you realize that this time, the other side also came with a deadly resolve?"
Otherwise, why would that now-swallowed Diming Sect disciple dare to do such a thing!
Shouldn't he be focusing on securing strongholds first?
Gu Linruo's eyes lit up...
Seeing her reaction, Xu Sheng knew she understood his point and added with a colder tone, "That's right, even if we don't take action against the other sects, they won't let us off. But since they're going to act, I prefer to eradicate the roots completely!"
He was not the kind of man who would let his enemies walk away unscathed after they attempted to strike him!
Gu Lin Ruo took a deep breath and said quietly, "I understand."
Then, she extended her finger to guide the way, "Junior Brother Xu, let's start from this side. I remember there's a stronghold not too far ahead; surely, we'll find disciples from other sects there!"
Xu Sheng nodded, "Mm."
Immediately, he extended his arms and picked up Gu Linruo in a princess carry, leaping onto the back of the Python Snake, but he did not show any intention of putting her down...
Gu Linruo's pale face flushed slightly as she said in a soft voice, "Junior Brother Xu, I... I can..."
Xu Sheng gently stroked her smooth hair and said tenderly, "Senior Sister Gu, don't push yourself, your breath is very weak now!"
Hearing these words, Gu Linruo did not say more, quietly leaning against Xu Sheng's chest, faintly hearing the vigorous and powerful heartbeat of the latter...
Not waiting for Xu Sheng's command, the Python Snake seemed to understand human speech and began to move,
But because it was on the ground, its speed was much slower!
...
On the other hand, Liu Yun and the other two who had regrouped, looked at the disciples of Sect Liaoqiong with an ill expression...
Liu Yun said darkly, "Go! Slaughter him!"
Mo Hen and Xu Wei looked at each other and then clenched the personal swords in their hands, charging towards him...
The disciple from Sect Liaoqiong was being continuously forced back in defeat by the attack of two enemies of equal cultivation level...
When he truly felt their intent to kill, his body trembled, and he said in a voice filled with dread, "Don't push people too far!"
Mo Hen snorted coldly and decisively released his Earth-tier Martial Technique, Frenzied Demon Dance!
And in Xu Wei's eyes, too, there swirled an intense killing intent, "Earth Grade Low-Grade Martial Skill! Ten Thousand Sword Art!"
Under this terrifying onslaught, even as the Sect Liaoqiong disciple desperately defended, he was still caught in a flaw...
It was Liu Yun!
He suddenly concealed his aura, appeared behind the Sect Liaoqiong disciple, and precisely pierced the latter's heart with a sword...
The intense pain in his chest caused his eyes to widen involuntarily, his face full of disbelief...
Then, he lost all signs of life and fell onto the cold ground below...
Liu Yun glanced at the body with a sneer, "The second one!"
Just then, the sound of clapping erupted...
Upon hearing this noise, Liu Yun and the others' eyes suddenly narrowed as they hastily scanned their surroundings...
They saw three disciples from Tianliu Sect surrounding them, as well as one from Diming Sect and Sect Liaoqiong!
One of the Sect Liaoqiong disciples angrily said, "Finally found you! But to dare kill our people! It seems like you don't want to live, huh?"
The next moment, all these disciples grasped their personal swords, releasing terrifying fluctuations of spiritual power...
Liu Yun turned to his two comrades, "Mo Junior Brother, Xu Junior Brother, get ready to fight for your lives. Taking down one would be a profit, and two would be a fair trade!"
The reply was a firm affirmation, "Mm!"
