Chapter 256 - Su Lian’s Suggestion
Chapter 256: Su Lian’s Suggestion
The man could not help but feel a little puzzled. When he saw what was happening in front of him clearly, his originally happy face instantly turned a little ugly.
In front of him, Gu Xi was still standing in the same spot.
What was different from before was that Gu Xi raised his arm and stretched out two fingers.
It was these two fingers that forcefully clamped onto the man’s blade.
“How is this possible?!” the man cried out in shock.
Although his strength was still quite a distance away from those true prodigies, even so, his attack was not something that could be blocked with just two fingers.
Amidst his shock, the man’s face flushed red.
This method of receiving his attack was undoubtedly a form of humiliation to him!
“There’s nothing impossible. I think it’s time for us to change our roles.” Gu Xi grinned, his eyes filled with an unconcealed killing intent.
The man was a little flustered. He hurriedly wanted to pull out his sword and retreat, but he realized that not only was his sword unable to move forward, he was also unable to pull it out.
Without the slightest hesitation, the man decisively threw away this extraordinary spiritual weapon. His right foot stomped hard on the ground, and his entire body immediately retreated at an extremely fast speed.
However, even though his speed was fast, Gu Xi’s speed was even faster!
At the instant the man withdrew and retreated, Gu Xi followed closely behind. At the same time, he flipped the blade over and held it. He was the sword’s new owner.
The distance between the two of them had always been less than half a body’s distance. No matter how much the man accelerated, he was unable to escape from Gu Xi.
At this moment, the man seemed to have smelled the scent of death. “Spare me, I’m willing to give you the points!”
The two of them stopped, and the man hurriedly threw his jade pendant over.
Gu Xi accepted it with a cold expression, and then glanced at the points on it.
206 points.
Although this was the first day of the competition, the points were clearly a little low. Even so, Gu Xi still had no reason to refuse.
No matter how small a rabbit was, it was still meat… Not to mention that it was a rabbit that came to him voluntarily.
He lightly touched his own jade pendant with the man’s jade pendant, and then the points on the man’s jade pendant rapidly dropped to 103 in the blink of an eye. On the other hand, Gu Xi’s jade pendant had already reached 601 points.
Seeing this score, Gu Xi nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing this, the man could not help but be delighted. He hurriedly said, “Since you have the points, I can leave now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man even forgot to ask for the jade pendant. He turned around and stumbled away.
However, in the next second, he only felt a chill on his back.
Before he could react, a sharp pain immediately followed.
He looked down and saw that a knife had pierced through his body.
It was his spirit weapon!
“You…” The man slowly turned around and looked at Gu Xi with a face full of resentment.
“I didn’t say that I would let you go.” Gu Xi shrugged.
To be merciful to an enemy was to be cruel to oneself.
Today, he had plundered this person’s points. This person would definitely hold a grudge against him afterwards. If this person were to meet up with the other members of his sect in the future, they would definitely be opponents the next time they met!
Gu Xi would not do such a stupid thing to let an enemy go. Only a dead person would be obedient.
Hearing Gu Xi’s words, the man wanted to get angry, but his entire body became more and more powerless.
He lowered his head and saw that blood was continuously flowing out of his chest.
The life force in the man’s eyes slowly dissipated, and not long after, he fell to the ground.
However, Gu Xi did not leave. Instead, he remained where he was.
Five minutes, ten minutes.
“Are you really not planning to come out?” Gu Xi spoke indifferently, as if he was talking to herself.
Very quickly, the answer surfaced. Not far away, a graceful figure appeared out of nowhere.
“As expected of someone who dares to make an enemy out of the Hehuan Sect. Truly ruthless and merciless.”
The woman’s sweet and seductive voice sounded. When the figure walked in, Gu Xi’s expression froze.
Liuli Sect, Su Lian!
He had never expected that the two would actually meet here.
Although Gu Xi did not know much about the woman in front of him, his intuition told him that this woman was just like Mei Qianmeng from the past. She was absolutely not to be trifled with!
Keenly sensing the subtle change in Gu Xi’s expression, Su Lian put on a somewhat sad look and said, “It seems that Young Master Gu isn’t happy to see me.”
Gu Xi’s expression did not change, and he said coldly, “I wonder what Miss Su is doing here?”
Su Lian put away her sad expression and said with a smile, “Could this plane battlefield belong to Young Master Gu’s family? Why Can’t I appear here?”
Hearing this, the corners of Gu Xi’s mouth twitched, and he immediately turned around to leave. He did not want to stay here with this woman anymore.
“Don’t leave!”
Seeing that Gu Xi was about to leave, Su Lian hurriedly appeared in front of Gu XI in a flash. Her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, she continued, “Since we haven’t met anyone from our own sect yet, why don’t the two of us form a temporary team?”
“I refuse.” Gu Xi gave an answer without even thinking.
Su Lian’s expression froze. She clearly did not expect Gu Xi to reject her so readily.
One had to know that many men had tried every means to get close to her without success. Now that she had delivered herself to their doorstep, this fellow actually did not care?
For a moment, Su Lian was furious.
However, in order to cooperate, she had to resist the urge to throw a tantrum.
When she came back to her senses, she found that Gu Xi had already gone far away.
Su Lian hurriedly chased after him again. “Are you sure you don’t want to consider it? With your speed of hunting demon beasts alone, it’s wishful thinking to enter the top ten. If the two of us work together, perhaps your Medicine King Valley will have a chance.”
“Thank you for your good intentions, Miss Su. I will think of a way to get points myself.” Gu Xi spoke indifferently, his footsteps not stopping at all.
Indeed, Su Lian was right. If the two of them worked together, or even if the Liuli Sect and Medicine King Valley worked together, it would indeed increase the Medicine King Valley’s points.
However, in Gu Xi’s opinion, there were many ways to get points, and the most dangerous method was to work with other sects. If one was not careful, one might be stabbed in the back by others!
Moreover, the person they were working with was Su Lian.
With this woman’s unpredictable character, it was hard to guarantee that nothing would happen to him. She might even sell them out one day.
Seeing that Gu Xi was unmoved, Su Lian could not help but feel a little helpless. Looking at the former’s receding figure, Su Lian was not anxious. She casually said, “I know a few locations where demon beasts gather. If you choose to cooperate with me, I can bring you to take a look.”
As soon as these words were said, Gu Xi’s footsteps gradually slowed down.
