C384 Backkill
Ten days later, at the edge of the desert, three figures appeared, two men and one woman. The two men didn't look very impressive, especially the skinny young man. He had a wretched expression on his face and kept looking around. As for the other young man, he had a faint smile on his face, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes from time to time.
The only girl amongst the three wore a blue dress, which gave her a very graceful bearing. Although her face was covered by a veil, her delicate and exquisite body could arouse endless fantasies.
These three people were Gu Feng and the others. After Gu Feng received the "acknowledgement" from the treasured sword, he rushed towards the ruins impatiently. After all, that was the residence of an expert above the Soul Condensation realm. The treasures inside were not items that his ancestor could compare to before, and there might even be some inheritance left within, waiting for those fated to open it.
However, the desert was too large. Even with the cultivation of the three of them, it took them three days to reach the border region while flying at full speed.
The three of them had just exited the desert when they sensed that the surrounding atmosphere was unusual. A hint of coldness flashed across Gu Feng's eyes. However, he still shrugged with a smile and said to Shui Qianrou,
"Looks like we're being watched."
"It's to be expected." Shui Qianroudao was not too surprised.
"These people couldn't have followed you here, right?" Gu Feng's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but ask.
Shui Qianrou looked at Gu Feng with her eyes like the moon as she said with a smile, "Congratulations, you got it right."
"With your strength, you can easily deal with them. Why are you still holding on to them?" Gu Feng looked at her in confusion.
"At that time, in order to prevent the people from Water Cloud Sect from obtaining the Genuine One Divine Water, I was in a hurry so I didn't have the mood to bother about them." Shui Qianrou said, "I'll leave these people to you. Let's finish them quickly."
Gu Feng and Feng Qingyang looked at each other and nodded helplessly. Although Shui Qianrou was also a practitioner of the Soul Forging, and was definitely a top-notch existence amongst the Purgatory Tower, the Princess' sickness that she occasionally revealed truly made them feel helpless.
"A total of eleven people. Five for you and six for me." Gu Feng looked at Feng Qingyang and said.
"No, you still have one of the first stage Soul Forging's War Pet. The distribution is not fair like this, I'll leave the rest of the three to you." Even though most of these people were at the first level of the Soul Forging, there were still so many of them, so it would be hard to deal with them with so many people. Furthermore, there were four of them at the second level as well, so if he was surrounded by so many people, his life would be in danger.
Not far away, in the shadows, there were three Martial Cultivator s lying on the ground. The three of them were looking at Gu Feng and the other two with suspicion. Even though they were so far away, they could still vaguely hear the conversation between Gu Feng and Feng Qingyang due to the fact that they couldn't lower their voices.
"What is the leader and the others talking about?" One of the young men asked a middle-aged man in a grey robe that was beside him.
This middle-aged man was the strongest amongst them, and had already reached the peak of the second level of the Soul Forging realm. He had already been in the Purgatory Tower for five years, so even though he wasn't exactly familiar with everything here, he could still be considered to be very familiar with it.
"Shut up." The middle-aged man didn't reply, but said to the young man with a cold expression.
He stared expressionlessly at Gu Feng and the others as he sized up Shui Qianrou's body. This woman was their target this time. As long as they could capture her, their mission would be completed. But how could the princess of Aqura Moon Dynasty, a Ranker ranked in the top ten of the Purgatory Tower, be easily dealt with? As a result, after following them for more than a month, they had yet to make a move. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the moment when Shui Qianrou was relaxed in the desert to catch her off guard. Unexpectedly, there were two more people by her side.
But if they didn't act now, they wouldn't have a chance. Once Shui Qianrou and Golden Armored Guard joined together, they would not have the slightest opportunity.
"Leader, I think we should leave first. I have a bad feeling about this." A thin and weak youth beside him said in a worried tone.
"Shut up." The middle-aged man scolded in a low voice. They had eleven people here, so even if the other party was someone ranked at the top of the Purgatory Tower and there were two other fellows of unknown origins, he was confident that he could capture Shui Qianrou.
"Send down orders, get ready …" Before he could finish his words, he felt something was wrong. The two Martial Cultivator s beside him stiffened, their faces filled with fear.
"Prepare what?" A charming and cold voice came from behind him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
He turned around stiffly, and his pupils couldn't help but narrow. He looked at the youth behind him, his face filled with disbelief and shock.
"You … How could you... "He appeared here." The middle-aged man looked at Gu Feng in fear and asked with a trembling voice.
This person was none other than Gu Feng. Right now, his hands were clutching a person as his palm was pressed against the two's younger generation members. Violent spirit energy was gathering at the center of his palm. As long as he was willing, he could instantly take the lives of the two of them.
The two young men stiffened and did not dare to make the slightest movement. They were afraid that Gu Feng would kill them on the spot with a little force.
"You haven't answered my question." Gu Feng said with a relaxed smile.
"You … "Let me tell you, don't do anything rash or you will die a miserable death." The middle-aged man stared at Gu Feng and threatened.
"Died very miserably? Are you talking about them? " Gu Feng looked behind him, a breeze blew by with a faint smell of blood.2
The middle-aged man followed Gu Feng's gaze and his body couldn't help but shiver. There were eight corpses lying on the ground, and their state of death was extremely miserable.
The middle-aged man's face was deathly pale. He stared at Gu Feng as if he was looking at a ghost. His eight subordinates were actually killed silently. This was too terrifying.
"You …" The middle-aged man pointed at Gu Feng with his trembling finger.
"Who ordered you to kill me?" At this moment, Shui Qianrou walked over and said to the middle-aged man with an ice-cold expression.
"We just happened to pass by." The middle-aged man's heart tightened and he quickly reached there.
"Hmph." Shui Qianrou snorted lightly. With a wave of her palm, an icy-blue stream of water shot out, turning into a sharp water arrow.
Seeing this scene, Gu Feng couldn't help but be speechless. This woman wasn't simple either, her actions were also ruthless and merciless. However, this was also one of the special characteristics of Firmament Continent.
"Speak, just who sent you to kill me?" Shui Qianrou said coldly.
