Volume 1 Chapter 265 Shocking Strength(1/2)
The sudden attack shocked Gu Xiao, and he did not bother to restrain the guard. He swung his sword finger and erected a stone wall.
There was a loud explosion, and the hastily raised stone wall shattered. Through the gap between the gravel, Gu Xiao could see the face of the attacker clearly.
"It's you!"
Gu Xiao's pupils shrank. The attacker was none other than Shi Hong, who was captured in Nanluan Valley and belonged to the Daxia Blood Network!
Why is he here?!
"Gu Xiao, we meet again."
Shi Hong retracted his fist and put it behind him, with an unpredictable smile on his lips.
Gu Xiao frowned, with caution on his face: "Why are you here?"
"I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect that you not only broke through the magical realm, but also reached the fifth level... I have to admire you!"
Shi Hong didn't answer the question. After saying this, the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared, his eyelids lowered, and he looked like he was thinking.
Shi Hong's move made Gu Xiao more cautious. He put his hands behind his back and buckled five talismans at the same time.
Shi Hong was at the eighth level of supernatural power, and he was also compatible with both water and wood, so he couldn't help but not take him seriously.
It seemed that Gu Xiao was paying too much attention, which caused Shi Hong to look up, then raised his head and squinted his eyes. When he saw the caution on Gu Xiao's face, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Gu Xiao, you and I just had some misunderstandings before. You don't need to be so defensive about me."
"Ha! Swords are facing each other, a life-and-death feud. Do you think it's a misunderstanding?"
"this……"
Shi Hong choked and then began to ponder.
Although after careful calculation, it was only the third time that he and Gu Xiao met, Shi Hong knew Gu Xiao's character very well. If he didn't explain it clearly, the misunderstanding would only deepen.
Thinking of this, Shi Hong took a breath and his expression became very serious: "Gu Xiao, I didn't know about the grudge between you and Gu Qilin before, so I vented my anger on you. This is my fault. I will give you a solemn apology now.
Apologize."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Hong straightened his expression, cupped his fists and bowed towards Gu Xiao.
this……
This sudden move made Gu Xiao stunned on the spot.
When Shi Hong looked up and saw Gu Xiao's expression, he smiled slightly: "I know you have doubts, and you will definitely not believe me for a while, but since you know Qi Mu, the young master of the Qi family, you should know my true identity... In other words
In other words, you should know what the Daxia Blood Network represents."
After hearing this, Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows, and his doubts were suddenly cleared.
Seeing Gu Xiao's stunned look, Shi Hong understood that Gu Xiao had already understood the meaning of his words. After his expression relaxed, he winked at the guard on the side. The latter hesitated slightly and then
He nodded and quietly retreated.
Um?!
The guard's retreat made Gu Xiao frown slightly, because he felt that the guard respected Shi Hong very much...
For some reason, Zuo Qiujie's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind, and he thought of a possibility as if he was blessed.
"Have you cooperated with Zuo Qiujie?"
Shi Hong was stunned for a moment, then curled up the corner of his mouth and smiled without saying a word.
Seeing Shi Hong's smile, Gu Xiao knew that he had guessed correctly.
It is no wonder that Zuo Qiujie, who has a deep palace in the city, would try to force him to be imprisoned when the situation was unclear, and he would resist Gu Qilin so resolutely without confronting Gu Qilin's capital.
It turned out that he was hooked up with the Daxia Blood Network... to be precise, he was hooked up with the Crown Prince of Daxia, the Prince of the East Palace!
He went to Chen State to look for Huofeng just because he failed to resist. After the defeat, if Daxia treated him as an abandoned son, he could still use Chen State to contain Gu Qilin.
Not only has his life been saved, but he can also wait for an opportunity to make a comeback...
What a good idea!
Although it was just a guess, Gu Xiao felt that his guess was close to the truth!
Shi Hong saw all the changes in Gu Xiao's expression while he was thinking. From these expressions, he could probably guess that Gu Xiao understood everything.
"Gu Xiao, your talent is no less than that of Gu Qilin, or even slightly better. If you are willing to cooperate with my master, then my master will spare no effort to train you and let you personally kill Gu Qilin!"
Slightly better...cultivation without sparing any effort...skilled by one's own hands...
Gu Xiao suddenly felt funny.
Influenced by the fire phoenix and blue phoenix, and the malicious indoctrination of Lan Tianxin, a thousand-year-old witch, he was no longer the young boy who had just fledged. How could he eat such a cake?
But after all he understood, Gu Xiao was still a little moved.
After all, Lan Tianxin once said that if Gu Qilin succeeded in breaking through the broken virtual mirror, then even she might not be able to win.
Now that there are forces willing to come forward to suppress Gu Qilin, what reason does he have to refuse...
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao took a deep breath: "If this promise can be fulfilled, I am willing to cooperate with you."
Gu Xiao's neat answer made Shi Hong stunned, and the other words he had planned in his mind also got stuck in his throat.
Is this agreed?
Shi Hong was quite surprised, because in his impression, Gu Xiao was not a person who would be stupid because of this unreliable pie. On the contrary, Gu Xiao was smarter than a monkey.
But as a member of the Blood Network, he has an excellent eye for identifying people and objects, so he can tell that Gu Xiao's expression does not seem to be fake, it is completely from the heart.
But because Gu Xiao was serious, it made him a little confused.
However, no matter what Gu Xiao's true thoughts are, since he agreed to cooperate, his mission is considered completed, and there is no need to think more about it.
"In that case, then follow me to meet someone."
Meet someone...
"Meeting whom?"
"You'll know when you get there."
After Shi Hong said this, he turned around and started walking. Seeing this, Gu Xiao stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait!"
When Gu Xiao stopped him, Shi Hong narrowed his eyes and his face turned ugly: "Do you want to regret it?!"
"It's not that..." Gu Xiao didn't pay attention to Shi Hong's face, and said in a very calm tone: "Before I go, I have to get my sword first. After all... I am not strong and I don't have any weapons with me.
After all, I feel a little guilty."
Not strong...
Knocking down the seventh level of magical power in one face-to-face, does that mean he is not strong?!
Shi Hong was somewhat speechless, but he couldn't find any reason to refute Gu Xiao's words. After all, he was the one who proposed the plan to lure Gu Xiao out with the Kyushu Sword.
"Then hurry up."
After Shi Hong finished speaking, he should leave first.
Gu Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Shi Hong's back for a while, then stepped forward to follow him.
"Digui, did the old man escape safely?"
"Well, we have now left the scope of Xixiang Hall and are moving in the direction of Jubaoxuan. No one is following us."
After hearing Di Kui's words, Gu Xiao was relieved.
Now that Lin Jinsong had escaped safely, he no longer had any scruples and went straight to the school grounds after leaving the dungeon.
But when Gu Xiao first arrived at the school grounds, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Because on the school field, those who had previously participated in the election were now lying on the ground in a mess, wailing, while the sergeants in charge of guarding were staring at the center of the field with dark faces and clenched fists.
Gu Xiaoshun took a quick look and saw several people fighting fiercely in the field. When he saw clearly that it was Lu Yang who was in the magical power realm of the four major families, Gu Xiao's expression became strange.
With a raised brow, Gu Xiao turned his head and looked at Shi Hong: "Did you also come up with the idea of Naxian?"
Gu Xiao's tone was full of teasing. After hearing this, Shi Hong's face darkened and he snorted: "I didn't expect that the talents of the Yue Kingdom would wither to such an extent."
Shi Hong's unceremonious belittlement made Gu Xiao shrug his shoulders and did not answer any more words.
I don't know whether it is because of his improvement in strength or because he has been with Huofeng Lantian for a long time, but Gu Xiao's horizons have also improved too much. He really looks down upon Lu Yang's qualifications now.
With a slight sigh, Gu Xiao walked straight towards the Kyushu Sword.
Gu Xiao's approach immediately attracted the attention of several people, especially Lu Yang. After seeing Gu Xiao, he raised his hand and slapped him without saying a word.
However, since Lu Yang participated in the elixir selection and his strength was comparable to the first level of supernatural power, this palm was indeed a bit weak for Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao didn't even turn his head, and cut off the palm with a single stroke of his sword finger.
Seeing that his attack was so easily neutralized by Gu Xiao, Lu Yang immediately shrank his pupils, then rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Young Master Hua, haven't you already withdrawn from the fight? Why are you coming back now?!"
Lu Yang's shouts immediately made several other people stop their hands. When they saw Gu Xiao reaching for the Kyushu Sword, their expressions became angry, and they surrounded Gu Xiao in a flash.
Different levels of murderous aura arose.
Gu Xiao paused, glanced around, and then curled his lips and said: "I'm just here to get my things, you go on, don't pay attention to me."
To be continued...
