206: Xun Er is so proud!

"What exactly is going on?"

Xun'er, who had been prepared to fight to the death, was full of confusion as she watched the Half-Saint energy body flee from her as if deranged.

"Just now, before I activated my clan tattoo, he was ferociously trying to devour me, but once I revealed my clan tattoo, he became so terrified. Could it be because..."

Xun'er gently stroked the seven-colored clan tattoo on her forehead with her jade hand, and understanding gradually dawned in her eyes.

In this Heavenly Tomb, only Gu Fei and she possessed this Gu Clan's seven-colored clan tattoo.

It seemed that what the opponent feared was Gu Fei, who also possessed the seven-colored clan tattoo.

That was why he reacted with such terror upon seeing her seven-colored clan tattoo.

"It seems Brother Gu Fei has unknowingly saved me again..."

Thinking of this, Xun'er's lips curved into a sweet, happy smile.

However, after this encounter with the Half-Saint energy body, she gradually calmed down.

She knew that if she continued to delve deeper, she might encounter even stronger energy bodies, possibly even those at the true Dou Saint level.

So, she began to turn back, intending to first practice with those nine-star energy bodies.

"Bang... Bang!"

Three days later, Xun'er arrived at a place filled with strange rocks, sensing a wave of fighting, within which seemed to be a familiar aura.

"It seems to be Brother Gu Qingyang and his group!"

"It looks like they might be in trouble!"

Following the fighting fluctuations, Xun'er's figure flickered rapidly as she followed... Atop a black mountain peak stood a figure wielding a ghost-head saber.

This person wore dark red robes, had a cold expression, and several saber scars on his face, subtly giving off a powerful, fierce aura.

"Among the living, not everyone is that strong!"

"Haha, it's been so many years since I tasted the flesh and blood of a living person..."

The red figure's scarlet gaze stared intently at Gu Qingyang, Gu Yao, Huo Zhi, and Huo Xuan below, filled with bloodlust.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Gu Qingyang looked at the fellow who called himself the Blood Saber Saint, his eyes full of apprehension.

On this trip, the few of them had underestimated the gap between a Dou Venerate and a Half-Saint.

Even with four of them working together, facing a Half-Saint energy body was proving very difficult.

"Overturning Earth Seal!"

A brilliant energy seal quickly formed in Gu Qingyang's hand, then shot fiercely towards the Blood Saber Saint.

"Child's play!"

Seeing the incoming energy seal, the Blood Saber Saint scoffed, directly slashing twice diagonally through the Void Realm with his ghost-head saber.

Two massive Saber Qis tore through space, one of them ripping the energy seal apart. The remaining Saber Qi then shot rapidly towards Gu Qingyang, but he narrowly dodged it at the last moment.

"This person is extremely fast. Let's not attack separately; let's combine our forces to fight him!"

Huo Zhi's cultivation was on par with Gu Qingyang's, and Gu Yao and Huo Xuan were also not weak.

At this moment, gathering the strength of all four, they launched a dense barrage of attacks at the Blood Saber Saint.

"Blood Saber Chaotic Wind Slash!"

Facing the encirclement of Gu Qingyang and the other three, the Blood Saber Saint launched a fierce counterattack.

His foot stomped the ground, and his figure suddenly began to spin, like a blood-red tornado. The surrounding space instantly collapsed into black holes...

"Bang bang!"

Sharp Saber Qi shot out like lightning from within the whirlwind, directly sending Gu Qingyang and the other three flying backward, their bodies heavily smashing onto the surrounding boulders.

The terrifying force instantly pulverized even the boulders.

"Damn it, this guy is too strong! He's probably equivalent to an Advanced Half-Saint!"

Gu Qingyang suppressed the blood rising in his throat, his voice hoarse.

"We can only run!"

"We can't outrun him; he'll just defeat us one by one!"

Huo Zhi proposed a desperate fight.

"Heh heh, you four, being able to enter this place, must be Geniuses outside. Devouring Geniuses must taste quite good!" The Blood Saber Saint revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

"Oh, another one?"

Suddenly, the Blood Saber Saint looked up at a certain spot in the sky behind them, his eyes growing even more excited.

"It's Xun'er... Xun'er, hurry and go! This isn't something you can handle!"

Gu Qingyang also noticed her. He didn't want Xun'er to get involved in their danger, so he immediately urged her to leave.

However, Xun'er couldn't hear him at this moment. How could she stand by and do nothing when her clan members were in danger?

The more people, the more strength.

"Xun'er, you shouldn't have come!"

Gu Yao also urged Xun'er to leave at this moment. Just now, when Xun'er, disregarding the danger, insisted on coming, it seemed to have rekindled the love that once existed in Gu Yao's heart.

"No more nonsense. Today, none of you will escape this Saint's grasp!"

The Blood Saber Saint laughed loudly and once again raised the ghost-head saber, which emanated a strong scent of blood.

"You're not a true Dou Saint yet!"

Xun'er retorted, then her Dou Qi erupted, golden flames swirling around her. At the same time, the seven-colored clan tattoo on her brow was also reactivated, greatly increasing her strength.

"This is...?"

When Xun'er revealed her seven-colored clan tattoo, the Blood Saber Saint's raised saber suddenly froze.

His hand gripping the saber was clearly trembling.

"That fiend isn't nearby, is he?"

"Ah..."

Just like the Half-Saint energy body Xun'er had encountered before, the Blood Saber Saint screamed in terror, then quickly turned and fled.

"Strange, why did he suddenly run away?"

Huo Zhi's beautiful eyes showed surprise.

The others were the same; they could clearly feel that the Blood Saber Saint seemed to have seen something terrifying.

Of course, they didn't believe that Xun'er had scared away the Blood Saber Saint.

"It's alright now, he's probably been scared out of his mind!"

Xun'er turned around, gently stroking the seven-colored clan tattoo on her brow, a smile on her face, and spoke to them cheerily.

"Goodness gracious, Young Miss Xun'er truly lives up to the Gu Clan's Divine Grade Bloodline; she scared away a Half-Saint expert without even making a move!"

Huo Xuan stood up, flattering Xun'er. Regardless, Xun'er's appearance had saved them this time.

Upon hearing Huo Xuan's words, Xun'er couldn't help but reveal a proud smile, even deliberately glancing at Huo Zhi beside her.

"Thank you very much, Young Miss Xun'er, this time!"

Huo Zhi and Xun'er didn't get along; a few years ago, they had been at loggerheads in the Ancient World. At this moment, she knew Xun'er was showing off to her.

However, out of gratitude for saving her life, Huo Zhi's thanks at this moment were sincere.

"Xun'er, didn't you keep up with Brother Gu Fei?" Gu Qingyang asked about Gu Fei again.

"No, Brother Gu Fei should be in the deepest part of the third layer. There, most of the energy bodies are very powerful; I couldn't keep up!"

"I hope Gu Fei can be safe and sound!"

"We can only stop at this edge area. Otherwise, if we encounter such a powerful energy body again, we won't always be this lucky!"

Gu Qingyang glanced at the seven-colored clan tattoo on Xun'er's brow, seemingly guessing something, and used the words "good luck" in his statement.
