Chapter 1266: Chapter 657: Run Without Looking Back
"Hahaha!"
Wang Xiu Jie suddenly burst into laughter.
"As expected, he’s just a useless waste! Even the Divine Artifact finds him unworthy!"
The man in black beside him asked in confusion.
"Then why doesn’t he run?"
"Run?"
Wang Xiu Jie sneered.
"The artifact has probably backfired on him, leaving him immobilized! How dare a mere Heavenly Palace Realm covet an Ancient Divine Artifact, serves him right!"
His words resonated with the crowd, who nodded in agreement.
Wang Xiu Jie shouted sternly.
"Everyone, listen up! Capture Gu Sheng alive and seize the treasure sword!"
"Wang Xiu Jie! Don’t think you can have it all to yourself!"
Lv Feng suddenly shouted.
"Everyone, none of us can defeat him alone, we only have a chance if we join forces!"
She knew too well their greed, and with just one sentence, she ignited the desires in their hearts.
Yes, as long as they first deal with Wang Xiu Jie...
"Kill!"
Uncertain who yelled first, several dozen cultivators attacked simultaneously!
Some attacked Wang Xiu Jie, others rushed towards Gu Sheng, while some were secretly waiting to reap the benefits, instantly throwing the scene into chaos!
"Bastards!"
Wang Xiu Jie was furious, his battle array glowing brightly with golden light.
"Courting death!"
Above the Blood River, the Qinghe Saintess was rushing over anxiously.
She tried to warn Gu Sheng through telepathy but found the Blood River’s power blocking any transmission of thoughts.
"How could this be..."
The Holy Daughter’s beautiful eyes were full of anxiety, watching helplessly as the group of fiends approached Gu Sheng, her fingertips digging into her palms in urgency.
She didn’t know why she cared so much about Gu Sheng’s life and death, only that a voice deep inside was screaming madly.
"Gu Sheng must not die!"
And at this moment, Gu Sheng showed signs of joy.
The soul body not only helped him suppress the sword’s violent aura but was guiding him to establish a connection with the Divine Sword!
As he probed the sword with his Divine Sense, he was instantly shocked by the immense power sealed within.
It was a terrifying force, vast as a galaxy, that even a slight perception made his soul tremble!
"Is this... the true power of the Divine Sword?"
Gu Sheng’s heart thundered like a drum.
"If I could fully control it..."
He felt the pulsations in his palm, as the power sealed within the treasure sword began to slowly awaken.
Even the Sword Qi that overflowed caused the Blood River beneath his feet to silently split apart.
In the distant battlefield, the explosion between Wang Xiu Jie’s battle array and Lv Feng’s group was earth-shattering.
Golden and red lights intertwined, causing blood waves to soar over a hundred feet high.
"Senior Brother Wang! Forget about those scoundrels!"
The man in black shouted anxiously.
"Seize Gu Sheng first!"
Wang Xiu Jie’s face darkened, his battle array’s golden glow flickering.
How he wished to capture Gu Sheng immediately!
But Lv Feng, that cunning woman, led a few experts to specifically target the weaknesses of his battle array, forcing him to defend.
"If this drags on, the Spirit Stone will..."
Before one of his subordinates finished speaking, Wang Xiu Jie sharply interrupted.
"Shut up!"
Wang Xiu Jie had a fierce look in his eyes.
"Everyone, listen up, change formation, Heaven and Earth Net!"
The golden light from the battle array suddenly transformed into a sky-full of golden silk, enveloping Lv Feng and the others.
This move consumed a lot, but if it could trap a few troublesome opponents...
"Retreat!"
Lv Feng had anticipated this, and at her command, everyone dispersed like startled birds and beasts.
The Golden Silk Net only trapped two slightly slower cultivators, turning them into blood mist.
"Damn it!"
Wang Xiu Jie was trembling with rage.
"These damn scoundrels!"
Not far away, Ling Xiao scratched his head as he watched the chaotic battle.
"Why does it look more and more like a play..."
"But the more chaotic, the better."
A faint fragrance wafted by.
Ling Xiao turned around, only to see the Qinghe Saintess swimming towards his direction, her stunning face full of worry.
Behind her, the Dragon Palace gave Ling Xiao a meaningful glance.
The Saintess brushed past the Dragon Palace, continuing to swim towards the center of the battlefield.
Greed filled the Dragon Palace’s eyes, its gaze never leaving that Supreme Treasure Sword.
"Interesting."
Ling Xiao stepped aside, a slight smile on his lips.
"When the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman benefits..."
At this moment, Gu Sheng was completely enveloped by Sword Qi.
His pupils shone like the sun and moon, reflecting ancient and mysterious runes.
As he gained deeper control over the treasure sword, a startling realization surfaced in his mind.
This sword, if unleashed, could sever mountains and rivers!
Memories of being hunted and humiliated flashed through his mind one by one.
Wang Xiu Jie’s mockery, the ridicule from others, the excruciating pain from every scar on his body...
"Boom!"
Anger resonated with his Sword Intent, and Gu Sheng’s Sword Qi suddenly surged three feet high! The Blood River’s surface split open silently, revealing a bottomless chasm.
At this tense moment, a familiar female voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Gu Sheng, run away quickly, you’ll die if you stay here."
This voice, like a trickling spring, instantly doused part of his anger.
Gu Sheng’s body jolted, and a lofty, ethereal figure appeared in his mind.
"Qinghe Saintess?"
He looked towards the source of the voice and indeed saw that longed-for figure anxiously watching him.
Those usually indifferent beautiful eyes were now filled with concern.
Gu Sheng was stunned.
He never imagined he would see her here, let alone that she would advise him to flee.
The tension in her voice was so real, it made his heart tremble.
"Does she... care about me?"
Just as this thought arose, the Saintess’s voice interrupted again.
"What are you dazing about! Go quickly!"
She still wore a stern expression, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her inner unease.
Originally worried that Gu Sheng might be harmed by the sword’s backlash, seeing him able to respond slightly eased her heart.
Gu Sheng didn’t know what to say. Just then, a sudden change occurred!
Wang Xiu Jie finally broke free, his battle array transforming into a hundred-foot-long golden blade, slashing down towards Gu Sheng!
"Gu Sheng!"
The Saintess cried out in alarm.
The Supreme Treasure Sword in Gu Sheng’s hand suddenly lifted itself, shooting a blue-red sword light into the sky!
"Zheng——"
The golden blade and sword light collided, but instead of an imagined earth-shattering explosion, it was as if ice met fire, Wang Xiu Jie’s battle array golden blade silently... dissolved!
