195: Being targeted

However, to everyone's surprise, Wang Xiaopang's seemingly clumsy and plump body, at this moment, erupted with astonishing speed completely inconsistent with his physique!

Almost at the same instant the black light appeared, his feet seemed to be fitted with springs, and with a speed difficult for the naked eye to capture, he narrowly grazed the black light and instantly retreated to the safe zone behind Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu!

The entire process was as fast as lightning!

As soon as he landed, Wang Xiaopang patted his chest, his chubby face not showing any lingering fear, but rather a cunning expression of "I knew it." He put his hands on his hips and triumphantly shouted towards the direction from which the black light had shot:

"Bah! I was already guarding against you bastards! I knew someone would be unable to resist making a sneak attack?"

As soon as his voice fell, Fang Hanyu, who had been standing still as ice, moved.

He didn't look at Wang Xiaopang, but merely pointed his fingers like a sword and, with a detached expression, drew a line towards the direction Wang Xiaopang had shouted, at the shadowy area of the shattered rocks.

A subtle gray sword mark silently sliced through space.

That shadowy area of rocks, along with half a ruined wall behind it, and the Peak Heavenly Human Realm aura hidden within, instantly turned into absolute nothingness, as if wiped away by an invisible eraser.

Instant kill! Clean and decisive.

Fang Hanyu slowly retracted his fingers, as if he had merely brushed away a speck of dust.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaopang became even more smug, lifting his chubby face: "See? This is what happens if you dare to attack me! My Second Older Brother specializes in curing all kinds of insubordination!"

Xiao Ruobai looked at the two, who cooperated tacitly, one baiting and one killing, and shook his head helplessly, but a hint of a smile also flashed in his eyes.

This dead fatty, although greedy for money and afraid of death, his quick wit and trust in his brothers were undeniable.

"Alright, stop chattering, let's go!" Xiao Ruobai low-growled.

The three no longer lingered, transforming into three astonishing rainbows, instantly breaking through the clouds and disappearing into the distance, leaving behind a mess and a group of onlookers with various thoughts.

And in the shadows, those covetous gazes, those old monsters whose Lifespan was nearing its end and who considered themselves powerful, also followed quietly like specters.

A more intense chase and storm had clearly just begun.

Inside the Azure Profound Sect's temporary camp.

"Damn it! That old scoundrel Yujijizi, even after dying, he still has to scheme against people!"

Shi Wanshan's bell-like eyes widened, and in a fit of anger, he punched a huge rock beside him, which instantly turned into dust.

"undying divine medicine... This has really stirred up a hornet's nest!"

The flesh on his face twitched, showing both shock at the strength of his two Junior Nephews and worry about the current situation.

Although he was reckless, he wasn't foolish.

He clearly understood what terrifying existences this news would attract once it spread.

No matter how strong Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu were, they were ultimately young. Facing a continuous stream of unscrupulous coveters, they would inevitably have oversights.

"No! I have to go and see!"

Shi Wanshan abruptly stood up and quickly said to Ye Guying, who also had a solemn expression: "Junior Brother Ye, you stay and guard the camp, and keep an eye on the Disciples! I'll go secretly assist those three lads!

If any shameless old fogey makes a move, I can also respond in time!"

Ye Guying frowned upon hearing this. He knew Shi Wanshan's temper, but he also understood that a strong individual was indeed needed for secret support at this moment.

He said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Shi, please be careful! If things become impossible, prioritize their safety, and do not get entangled in prolonged combat!"

"Don't worry! I know what's important!"

Shi Wanshan heavily patted Ye Guying's shoulder, and with a flicker of his figure, he disappeared as if merging into the earth, his aura completely restrained, stealthily heading in the direction Xiao Ruobai and the other two had left.

Zizhu Peak.

Gu Changge, dressed in white, stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking down at everything that was happening below.

His gaze was calm and unruffled, as if he were watching a play unrelated to him.

Seeing Fang Hanyu instantly counter-kill the sneak attacker, a subtle arc curved at the corner of his mouth.

"Decisive Heart-Nature, swift reaction, not bad."

His gaze swept over the restless auras hidden in the shadows, especially the several old monsters whose Lifespan was nearing its end, their auras decayed yet exceptionally powerful, his eyes deep.

"seven star secret token... undying divine medicine... It has indeed lured out quite a few old turtles hidden in their caves."

He murmured softly, "Well, young eagles must experience storms. With this tempering, they can grow faster."

He looked up at the seemingly harmless Little Black, leisurely circling high above in the sky, sensing the dormant, terrifying power within its body, enough to instantly overturn mountains and rivers.

He then sensed the life-saving measures left on his two Disciples, as well as Shi Wanshan, who was quietly following, his aura extremely well-restrained.

"With Little Black watching from the shadows, coupled with Senior Brother Shi's secret support, and the trump cards I left behind, there won't be any major problems."

Immediately, with a slight movement of his thoughts, a gentle intention entered the mind of Ling Xi, who was quietly comprehending the Dao of the Sword at the Peak of Zizhu Peak.

A moment later, a cold figure quietly appeared beside him, like frost condensed under the moonlight, silent and without a trace.

It was Ling Xi. She wore a moon-white Daoist dress, her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and a faint, sharp devouring intent and the majestic Qi of the Early Stage Heavenly Human Realm still lingered around her.

"Revered Master." Ling Xi bowed respectfully, her voice clear and crisp like ice springs striking jade, carrying a sincere reverence.

Gu Changge did not turn his head, his gaze still fixed on the distant place where the winds and clouds gathered, his tone as calm as ever: "Xi'er, how has your Cultivation been recently?"

Ling Xi's cold eyes slightly lifted, a deep light flashing: "Reporting to Revered Master, battling the projections of various Great Emperors in the Eternal Heavens Pride Tower, this Disciple has benefited greatly.

The Devouring Technique, combined with the Cultivation resources bestowed by Revered Master, and the endless Spiritual Qi of Zizhu Peak, has allowed me to Breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm today. It's just..."

She paused slightly, as if choosing her words: "It's just that while the projections in the Tower are strong, they ultimately lack the true life-and-death tempering of real combat."

Gu Changge nodded slightly, as if he had already expected it. Only then did he slowly turn his head, his gaze falling on Ling Xi. That gaze was calm, yet it seemed to be able to discern the flow of every wisp of devouring power within her body.

"Hmm, your Foundation is well-polished." His tone was indifferent, without much praise or criticism, then he changed the subject, "Your two Senior Brothers have encountered some minor trouble while gaining experience outside."

Upon hearing this, a faint trace of surprise flashed across Ling Xi's cold face. She was aware of Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu's strength. Especially after the intense tempering in the Tower of the Prodigy, with the two of them working together, ordinary King Realm cultivators were simply no match.

"Minor trouble?" She frowned slightly, her voice carrying a hint of confusion and... an almost imperceptible arrogance.

"With the current strength of the two Senior Brothers, who among the younger generation in the Eastern Region can still cause them trouble?"

She truly couldn't imagine who among their peers would require Revered Master to use the word "trouble," and even specifically summon her.
