Wang Yu
Chapter 936: Falling Out
The rock at the window of the stone tower instantly shattered, and Han Li's figure flashed out from within. The Starlight Moon Boots under his feet shone with light as he flew rapidly toward Shi Chuan Kong.
However, just as he crossed a distance of several hundred feet in mid-air, his brow suddenly twitched. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a white figure in the distance, shooting toward that spot with even greater speed.
With a pause, he landed on the roof of a largely intact grand hall.
As Shi Zhanfeng was about to sever Shi Chuan Kong's heart meridian with a single strike, he suddenly heard a heart-rending scream.
Startled, he stopped his movement and turned to look, only to see Du Yuan, who was fighting the demonic ape-scaled beast, with a large white flower blooming in his chest, covered in scarlet blood.
Before he could see what was happening, the white flower suddenly closed its petals, transforming into a sharp, spearhead-like bud that abruptly extracted itself from Du Yuan's heart.
A hollow cavity immediately appeared in Du Yuan's chest, from which blood gushed forth like a fountain, splattering everywhere.
Immediately afterward, a slender figure clad in white bone armor emerged from behind Du Yuan's body, brandishing a strange weapon that resembled a bone spear and waving at Shi Zhanfeng with a smile.
"It's you!" Shi Zhanfeng exclaimed in surprise.
Not only was Shi Zhanfeng astonished, but even Han Li, on the rooftop of the distant grand hall, wore a look of utter surprise.
Because the person wearing the white bone armor was none other than Gu Qianxun.
The woman thrusted the spear in her hand again, its tip emerging from Du Yuan's dantian. A flash of white light, like a blooming flower, divided it into five petals, directly pulverizing Du Yuan's Nascent Soul.
Seeing Du Yuan's death, the charming woman immediately flew toward Shi Zhanfeng's side. However, the demonic ape-scaled beast refused to let her go, chasing after her directly and resuming their battle.
"Fellow Daoist of Xuan City, we have no grievances or animosity between us. Why kill my companion?" Shi Zhanfeng frowned and asked.
At this moment, Shi Chuan Kong also reopened his eyes and looked toward Gu Qianxun with difficulty, his heart filled with the same confusion.
However, Gu Qianxun glanced remotely at Shi Chuan Kong, who was severely injured and almost completely unable to move. Her expression was extremely cold, and she had no intention of answering. With a flicker of her figure, she charged toward Shi Zhanfeng.
"Trying to save him? I'll make sure your efforts are in vain..." Shi Zhanfeng laughed loudly, swirling the long blade in his hand again and slashing down towards Shi Chuan Kong's head.
He postured the falling blade perfectly, as if gathering strength, ready to split Shi Chuan Kong's head open with a single blow. In reality, he kept his eyes on Gu Qianxun, who was flying toward him.
In the palm of his arm, which was gradually regenerating flesh and blood, he secretly clutched a white bone dagger as narrow as a willow leaf. More than a dozen star acupoints on it lit up simultaneously. As soon as Gu Qianxun attempted to save the person and strike his feinting battle blade, he would have the opportunity to use this dagger to severely injure or even kill her.
However, when Gu Qianxun really approached, Shi Zhanfeng was surprised to find that the long spear in her hand was not pointing at the battle blade in his hand, but directly at his head.
She wanted to kill him, not save the person!
Surprised, Shi Zhanfeng had no time to think. He waved his palm abruptly, and the willow-leaf dagger flew out of his palm, piercing toward Gu Qianxun's brow.
On the tiny dagger, more than a dozen star acupoints lit up at the same time, and the surface was flooded with white light. Suddenly, hundreds of knife lights split from it, shooting towards Gu Qianxun.
Seeing this, the latter frowned, but did not stop her movements at all, still rushing forward.
However, the long spear in her hand suddenly turned, striking at the willow-leaf short blade. White light surged from the tip of the spear, blooming like a flower, stirring the void and enveloping all the blade light.
Then, the strange spearhead closed its petals, returning to its original shape. The willow-leaf short blade was directly wrapped into the spearhead and stabbed towards Shi Zhanfeng.
Shi Zhanfeng tapped his toes, and his figure retreated towards the edge of the pit.
Coming outside the pit, he glanced at the charming woman who was entangled by the demonic ape-scaled beast and unable to escape for a while, and then glanced at his arm, which had not yet been completely repaired and was still showing flesh and blood. He sighed and shouted:
"Go."
As soon as the words fell, he turned around and fled directly.
Hearing the sound, the charming woman immediately retreated violently and followed him without hesitation.
The demonic ape chased for a while, but failed to catch up. Suddenly losing its target, it turned around and ran towards Gu Qianxun again.
"Damn thing..."
Gu Qianxun cursed in a low voice, waved her palm, and a token-like thing flew out, suspended in front of the demonic ape's eyes.
Seeing this, the light in the demonic ape's eyes dimmed, and its body shrank rapidly, turning into a miniature sculpture again. Gu Qianxun rolled up her sleeves and grabbed it into her hands together with the token.
Han Li saw this scene from afar, and his expression became more and more complicated.
"Are you here to save me or to kill me?" Shi Chuan Kong looked calmly at Gu Qianxun, who had come to his side, and asked.
Gu Qianxun did not answer, but a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes. She raised the long spear in her hand and stabbed directly at his brow without hesitation.
At this moment, an arc-shaped white light shot rapidly and hit the tip of the spear with a "铮" sound.
Immediately afterward, Han Li stepped on the void, coming to Shi Chuan Kong's side as if riding the wind, and held the white curved blade that he had thrown out as a hidden weapon before.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, what are you doing?" Han Li looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Gu Qianxun in front of him with a slightly condensed gaze and asked with a frown.
"I haven't asked you yet. You are blocking me for no reason. What do you want to do?" Gu Qianxun asked in reply when she saw Han Li appear.
"This Fellow Daoist Shi is my friend. He should have no grievances or animosity with you. With me here, I will naturally not let him be hurt." Han Li said with a calm expression.
"What if I say I must kill him?" Gu Qianxun said with a cold voice.
"Then I can only offend you." Han Li said without hesitation.
"Good!"
As Gu Qianxun's "Good" word fell, she moved her feet and abandoned Shi Chuan Kong, rushing directly towards Han Li.
More than thirty star acupoints on the white bone spear in her hand emerged, blooming with dazzling white light. With a twist, more than a hundred identical white spear shadows densely emerged out of thin air, stabbing at various parts of Han Li's body.
Her attack was merciless!
Han Li's face turned cold, and he waved his arm. The white curved blade drew a mysterious arc, cutting into the spear shadows.
More than a hundred spear shadows burst and dissipated in an instant. The curved blade accurately hit the spearhead of the white bone spear and blocked it.
Gu Qianxun was not surprised but delighted. The long spear in her hand suddenly turned, and the tip of the spear suddenly bloomed again like a flower, splitting into four petals, and then quickly closed, as if a big mouth bit the white curved blade in one bite.
The white light spewed from the tip of the spear, turning into a white light arrow, and struck Han Li's chest with extremely speed.
At the same time, Gu Qianxun raised her hand and waved it. A dark light flew out of her hand, which was the floating sculpture pendant of Shi Chuan Kong before.
With a "bang" sound!
The sculpture pendant shattered open, and a vortex of dark light burst out from it. The demonic ape emerged again, but its size was slightly smaller, and it crashed into Han Li.
The demonic ape's body shook, and all the dense spikes on the surface of its body detached from the body and turned into countless dark lights, shooting towards Han Li, submerging his figure in it.
At this moment, Gu Qianxun suddenly threw away the bone spear, waved her hands, and eight white short thorns shot out from her sleeves, turning into eight blurred white lights, but they were hitting towards Shi Chuan Kong on the side.
From beginning to end, her target was Shi Chuan Kong.
Shi Chuan Kong was lying on the ground and unable to move at the moment. Seeing the white short thorns attacking, he couldn't dodge and could only close his eyes and wait for death.
But at this moment, a shocking roar exploded, but it came from Han Li's body in front.
At this moment, his whole body's Xuan acupoints were shining brightly with white light, and then turned into a majestic and suppressed white light wave, which burst out in all directions.
The light arrows shot from the white bone spear, and the black spikes on the demonic ape's body stopped there immediately when they touched the white light wave, and then all shattered and burst inch by inch.
The demonic ape was also swept away by the light wave and hit the nearby intentional building hard. The building collapsed with a bang, burying the demonic ape's body below.
At the same time, Han Li moved his feet, and the whole person disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared in front of Shi Chuan Kong like a teleport, waving his right hand.
The six white short thorns suddenly disappeared, and all fell into his hands.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qianxun finally showed a look of shock on her face.
Han Li glanced at the six short thorns in his hand, then looked at Gu Qianxun, and moved his arm.
With a "咻" sound, the six short thorns turned into six white shadows and flew back at a speed several times faster than before, making a terrifying scream.
Gu Qianxun's face changed drastically, and she grabbed the white bone spear back like lightning. With a shake, the white curved blade on it flew out and collided with a white shadow.
At the same time, the other five huge white spear flowers also appeared out of thin air, and pointed at the other five white shadows.
Six consecutive loud noises of metal and iron colliding exploded!
Gu Qianxun's body shook violently, and she retreated seven or eight steps in a row. A trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly turned around and borrowed the force to escape to the distance.
Her speed was already extremely fast, but now she borrowed the anti-shock force of the white short thorns, and her speed increased even more. In a flash, she was thousands of feet away, and it seemed that she was about to escape far away.
But at this moment, Gu Qianxun flashed in front of her, and Han Li's figure appeared like a ghost, blocking her way.
Gu Qianxun stopped as if she had seen a ghost.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, who are you?" Han Li looked at Gu Qianxun and asked.
"Fellow Daoist Li, why do you need to know so much? Since you want to protect that Shi Chuan Kong, I will give it to you." Gu Qianxun's expression had returned to calm, and a slight smile appeared on her face.
"Who the hell are you? Don't force me to really attack you." Han Li said word by word.
