Noticing something wrong, Shi Lou’s eyes reddened with anger.
"Luan Yun, what kind of trick are you playing!"
Seeing his struggling appearance, Luan Yun laughed out loud.
"It doesn’t matter what trick I’m playing, as long as it can take your lives, it’s a good trick! Let’s see how you escape this time!"
He threw out a long whip, raised his hand, and the whip crackled loudly.
The sound of breaking the air echoed, and Shi Lou felt a chill in his back.
In his prime, he had to team up with Lan Yao to suppress him, and now that both of them are poisoned, aren’t they just giving up their lives in vain?
Thinking of this, he painfully closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were filled with a determination to die.
"Whatever happens, I won’t let you harm the people of Stone Village!"
"It depends on whether you have the ability! Anyone beside Gu Sheng is doomed!"
With a snap, Luan Yun’s whip came lashing out fiercely.
Shi Lou rolled quickly, moving his body swiftly away.
When Luan Yun’s next whip came, he propped his right hand to get up, but his body was as if it had lost all strength, completely unable to stand.
The sound of breaking the air echoed, and the whip struck him hard.
"Ah ah ah!"
A scream rang out as Shi Lou was lashed, leaving him bloodied.
Seeing this, Lan Yao wanted to help, but as he rushed forward, he found he didn’t even have the strength to hold a sword.
He continuously channeled the Qi of Dantian, but there was no change in his body.
At this moment, Luan Yun’s whip came straight at him.
"Seeking death! If you want to die, I won’t stop you!"
Seeing the whip coming straight at him, Lan Yao wanted to dodge, but his foot suddenly weakened.
His body staggered uncontrollably, heading toward the whip.
Shi Lou’s pupils shook violently, and he grabbed Lan Yao’s leg, dragging him down, protecting him with his own body, and forcefully taking another strike from Luan Yun!
As a mouthful of blood spewed out, Shi Lou didn’t forget to protect Lan Yao’s head.
Seeing Shi Lou’s blood-soaked appearance, Lan Yao was furious to the extreme.
"Shi Lou! Don’t die! Luan Yun, if you dare to kill him, my Elf Clan will not rest until you are dead!"
Hearing his roar, Luan Yun sneered.
"Lan Yao, even you are a defeated opponent of mine, what ability does your Elf Clan have? You dare to be at odds with me, aren’t you afraid I’ll take the lives of all your Elf Clan? Threatening me, I see you’re afraid of dying too late!"
As he finished speaking, Luan Yun raised the whip again.
Seeing the divine power fluctuating on the whip, Lan Yao’s pupils shrank sharply. He desperately tried to push Shi Lou away to take the blow alone, but Shi Lou held him with all his strength, unwilling to let him go.
As the whip was about to strike Shi Lou, the two of them closed their eyes in despair.
"Shi Lou, if there’s a next life, I will definitely repay..."
Before Lan Yao finished speaking, a familiar divine power suddenly came from afar, hitting the whip with a snap.
A small section of the whip fell off, landing harmlessly on Shi Lou.
Noticing the anomaly, they both opened their eyes simultaneously.
Gu Sheng’s body gently descended, firmly protecting the two of them.
"Luan Yun, daring to harm my people, you’re the one who’s dying too late."
"Brother Sheng, I knew you would come to rescue me!"
Just after Shi Lou said this, he couldn’t hold on any longer and passed out.
Lan Yao was so frightened that he kept calling out Shi Lou’s name.
Gu Sheng stepped back and left him a few Purple Spiritual Grass plants.
"Take Shi Lou away first, I’ll handle the matters here."
Just as Gu Sheng finished speaking, Luan Yun came attacking with his weapon raised.
Seeing the murderous look in his eyes, wishing to tear him apart, Gu Sheng squinted his eyes, turned his wrist, drew out the Fire Spirit Dagger, and directly faced the fight.
The two weapons clashed, sparking immediately scattered everywhere.
With a slight force of his wrist, the sword in Luan Yun’s hand broke into two pieces!
Seeing someone wail, Gu Sheng sneered.
"You yourselves are unsure of life or death, yet you have the mind to mourn for others? If you can’t bear to be without him, then all go to hell to accompany him!"
Gu Sheng waved his hand, the Fire Spirit Dagger accompanied by golden light sped away.
As the people of Purple Mist Peak were still immersed in grief and hadn’t recovered, Gu Sheng’s Fire Spirit Dagger swiftly cut through their throats.
In an instant, heads fell neatly to the ground, not a single one with closed eyes.
Gu Sheng stepped forward, picked up each head, and suspended them with divine power outside Stone Village, placing Luan Yun’s head in the most conspicuous position as a warning.
Seeing Gu Sheng kill a dozen people with just one move, Er Gou was stunned.
Not until a row of heads was neatly arranged did Gu Sheng turn around, and Er Gou finally snapped out of it.
"Brother Sheng, did you just kill them all with a single move?!"
Seeing his disbelief, Gu Sheng was amused.
"I’ve absorbed a century of spiritual power from the Spiritual Pearl, it’s easy for me."
"Brother Sheng, you’re incredible! Your sudden appearance was like a deity descending, your tactics were amazing!"
"Save the flattery, Shi Lou’s injured, let’s hurry over and check on him."
Hearing Shi Lou was injured, the smile on Er Gou’s face instantly disappeared, and he quickly followed Gu Sheng running towards Stone Village.
Returning to Stone Village, Gu Sheng sensed Shi Lou’s presence and immediately locked onto his position.
Shi Lou was with the Third Elder.
In urgency, he directly pushed the door open.
"Shi Lou, are you alright?"
Hearing his voice, everyone in the room immediately stood up.
"Gu Sheng, what about outside? Were the Purple Mist Peak’s people repelled?"
"All of them are dead at my hands, I cut off all of their heads and hung them outside our Stone Village as a warning. How is Shi Lou? Are he and Lan Yao alright?"
"Nothing major, both were poisoned by Luan Yun, but after taking the Purple Spiritual Grass, they were detoxified, just... Shi Lou still has some untreated injuries."
