53: Chapter 53: Gu Changfeng

Mu Wanqing's face was filled with panic. She wanted to counterattack, but she no longer had a single shred of spiritual energy left in her body, and being heavily injured, she couldn't muster even a trace of strength.

At this moment, Xiao Yang's hand had already reached her collar, and he was about to tear off her long dress.

"No!!!"

Mu Wanqing was near despair. Curling her body as her delicate frame trembled slightly, Gu Jing's face suddenly flashed through her mind.

Her body could only belong to him...

If she were to lose her purity, she would rather die!

Two lines of clear tears streamed down the corners of Mu Wanqing's eyes.

Junior Brother Gu, where are you...

Riiip—

The sound of a long dress being torn to shreds.

Mu Wanqing closed her eyes in despair, intending to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

"Xiao Yang! You beast, stop right there!" A young man's voice suddenly rang out!

Immediately following that was the whistling sound of three Daoist Magics piercing through the air.

Mu Wanqing opened her beautiful eyes and looked over; it was three Disciples from the Eight Wastelands Holy Sect.

Shortly after, she could no longer hold on and lost consciousness.

As the three Daoist Magics approached, Xiao Yang leaped into the air to avoid them.

"Gu Changfeng, what is the meaning of this? Are you intentionally looking for trouble?"

In mid-air, Xiao Yang sized up the three people with an displeased expression, focusing on the youth in the middle who wore green robes and had delicate features.

"Xiao Yang, which hand touched Fellow Daoist Mu just now? Leave that arm behind, and you may depart." Gu Changfeng's tone was calm, but his eyes were brimming with Killing Intent.

It wasn't that he liked Mu Wanqing, but rather, when they were outside the ruins, he had clearly seen Mu Wanqing and Gu Jing enter the ruin's vortex together.

While he was secretly observing this favored daughter of heaven, he noticed that the gaze Mu Wanqing directed at Gu Jing was filled with love.

Presumably, the two were Dao Companions.

Since Gu Jing had saved him previously, he naturally wouldn't stand by and watch while his Dao Companion was in trouble!

Xiao Yang warily sized up Gu Changfeng. From the Killing Intent in the other's eyes, he could see that he likely wouldn't be able to leave alive even if he left an arm behind.

This Gu Changfeng wanted to humiliate him first and then kill him!

"Fellow Daoist Gu, what do you mean? You and I have no grievances or enmity. Could it be that you've also taken a fancy to this Mu Wanqing?

If that's the case, I, Xiao, will simply let you have her! I haven't even touched this woman yet; her Cinnabar Mark is still there."

Xiao Yang immediately chickened out. The Eight Wastelands Holy Sect focused on Body Refining, and their Physical Body strength was peerless. Especially this Gu Changfeng, who had comprehended the Eight Desolations Holy Seal at such a young age; Xiao Yang was simply not his match in a one-on-one fight, let alone with three people arriving. At this moment, he could only beg for mercy.

Gu Changfeng's brow furrowed. He indeed wanted to humiliate this despicable person Xiao Yang first before killing him, and he hadn't expected the man to see through it.

"Xiao Yang, I will only give you three breaths of time to consider. If you do not comply, I, Gu, will personally take action and take both your arms!"

Hearing these words, Xiao Yang instantly became enraged. It seemed that Gu Changfeng's Killing Intent was set.

"Gu! Don't push people too far! You're just relying on numbers, aren't you? If you have the guts, duel me one-on-one!"

Xiao Yang already had a scheme in mind. In a three-on-one, he would be defeated in a single strike, but if it was one-on-one, he could still find an opportunity to escape.

"As you wish!"

Gu Changfeng sneered. He naturally knew what Xiao Yang was thinking. He directly deployed his movement technique, turning into an afterimage as he charged toward Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang didn't dare to be the least bit negligent and decisively performed Human-Sword Unity.

Amidst bursts of dazzling spiritual light, his entire figure merged into one with the long sword in his hand.

He transformed into a sharp green sword glow, kicking up a series of sonic booms as he shot through the air.

However, he wasn't shooting toward Gu Changfeng, but was instead fleeing in the opposite direction.

He wanted to use the extreme speed of Human-Sword Unity to escape!

Gu Changfeng had long been prepared for this. He tapped his Storage Pouch, and a sphere of light surging with lightning flew out.

Using all his strength, he violently hurled this sphere of lightning toward Xiao Yang.

The Lightning Orb grew as it caught the wind, its speed increasing dozens of times over. With a "whoosh," it drew close to the back of the green sword light Xiao Yang had transformed into.

In the next moment, it directly enveloped him within.

"Break!" Gu Changfeng shouted.

Boom!!

The arcs of electricity in the Lightning Orb interlaced and exploded violently.

Xiao Yang was directly blasted out of his Human-Sword Unity state. His clothes were in tatters, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his body was like a kite with a broken string, falling freely through the air.

He endured the intense pain and immediately erupted with his cultivation to stabilize his figure.

He still wanted to continue fleeing.

But it was already too late. Gu Changfeng had already closed in and violently threw a punch toward Xiao Yang's abdomen.

Crack—

The crisp sound of bones shattering.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"

Xiao Yang's agonizingly shrill scream echoed through the surrounding wilderness; the sound was so loud it seemed as though it would tear through the Void Realm.

Under this violent punch, his body also plummeted rapidly toward the ground, slamming heavily onto a giant boulder.

Pff—

Blood sprayed three feet high.

He wasn't dead yet!

Evidently, Gu Changfeng had held back. Otherwise, a full-strength punch from him as a Body Cultivator would have been enough to take Xiao Yang's life.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Xiao Yang coughed violently, blood welling from the corners of his mouth, mixed with a large amount of visceral fragments.

He grimaced in pain, cold sweat pouring down his entire body as he knelt on the ground and spoke with difficulty:

"Gu... Fellow Daoist Gu, have... have mercy. There is no deep-seated hatred between us; there's no need to drive me to my death. As long as you grant me a path to live, I, Xiao, am willing to offer my Soul Blood and be your servant for a lifetime!"

Xiao Yang felt like he was about to die. Having suffered such heavy injuries within these ruins, even if he didn't die now, he would end up in the mouth of a Yao Beast later. He might as well decisively hand over his Soul Blood to gain protection and preserve his life!

"Rest assured, I won't kill you."

Seeing Xiao Yang acting as lowly as a dog just to stay alive, Gu Changfeng despised such a person from the bottom of his heart.

He decided to wait for Mu Wanqing to wake up and hand Xiao Yang over to her, letting her deal with him personally.

Seeing that Gu Changfeng wasn't going to kill him, Xiao Yang was overjoyed and hurriedly took out his Soul Blood.

Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz~

The sound of insects flapping their wings suddenly came from not far away.
