In the crowd, Gu Xi’s face turned as gloomy as water. His pitch-black eyes seemed to be spewing out thick flames of anger.
The woman who was being humiliated in front of him was none other than the Liu Qingqing whom he had been searching for all this time!
At this moment, Su Lian also slowly walked to Gu Xi’s side. Her gaze also landed on Liu Qingqing in front of her. Her expression changed slightly. It was obvious that she had recognized Liu Qingqing’s identity.
At the same time, a powerful spiritual power suddenly erupted. Its owner was Gu Xi, who was at the side.
The spiritual power whistled and burst forth, forcing the surrounding people to retreat. Even the tables and chairs on the first floor were all shattered into dust.
Su Lian suddenly reacted. She raised her hand to stop Gu Xi’s action, but it was already too late.
Gu Xi’s body trembled slightly. Before Su Lian could even see Gu Xi’s movements clearly, Gu Xi had already appeared behind the two men the next moment.
The two men only felt a chill on their backs. Before they could react, a pair of large hands easily grabbed the back of their necks.
“Damn it!” Seeing Gu Xi make a move, Su Lian could not help but curse inwardly. The spiritual power in her body also began to stir.
If Gu Xi made a move here, then he would be forcefully expelled from the competition!
“Who the hell are you?! How dare you ruin my plan!” a man shouted sternly.
At the same time, he struggled with all his might to break free from Gu Xi’s control. However, no matter how hard he tried, the hand on the back of his neck did not change at all.
Gu Xi did not answer him. His eyes were cold and heartless. Almost substantial killing intent gushed out from his body continuously, locking onto the two of them tightly.
In the next moment, Gu Xi suddenly exerted force.
Crack–
Along with a crisp cracking sound, the two men stopped struggling at the same time and their bodies became limp.
Gu Xi casually threw the two of them to the side as if he was throwing away trash.
At this moment, both of their faces were ferocious, but there was no life in their eyes.
All of this happened in just a few breaths.
It was to the extent that the people present did not have time to react. Even the few people from the Daluo Sect who were ordered to guard this place did not have time to react.
By the time everyone came back to their senses, those two people were already dead.
“Senior Brother Gu, I’ve finally found you…”
When she came back to her senses, Liu Qingqing could not help but burst into tears. She did not care about the fact that she was already in the prime of her life and threw herself into Gu Xi’s arms.
She did not cry when the two men had teased and humiliated her earlier. However, when she saw Gu Xi, her tears were like a burst of water that could not be stopped.
“It’s alright.” Gu Xi put on a piece of clothing for her and comforted her softly.
If he had come a little later, it would have been hard to imagine what would have happened to Liu Qingqing.
How was this any different from falling into the hands of the people from the Hehuan Sect?!
Right at this moment, a few disciples dressed in the garb of the Daluo Sect appeared together and surrounded Gu Xi and Liu Qingqing.
“You dare to kill people here, which sect are you from?!” the leading man shouted.
This person was the captain of the law enforcement team of the Daluo Sect in the small town, Zhu Ning.
However, at this moment, his expression was extremely unsightly.
If such a thing happened in the territory under his jurisdiction, once it spread out, the sect would definitely punish him. He never thought that someone would actually make a move in the small town.
Not only did he make a move, but he also killed people.
Two people were killed in one go!
Gu Xi did not answer Zhu Ning’s words, but only shot a cold glance at the him.
Just one glance was enough to make Zhu Ning feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he fiercely shivered.
However, even so, Zhu Ning did not retreat. After all, there were so many pairs of eyes staring at him right now. If he became timid, he would not only lose his face, but also the face of the entire Daluo Sect!
At that time, it would not only be a matter of punishment, but also whether he could continue to stay in the Daluo Sect!
“Are you deaf?!” Zhu Ning took a deep breath and gathered his courage to continue shouting.
“Tell me what happened.” Ignoring Zhu Ning, Gu Xi looked at Liu Qingqing in front of him.
Only then did he realize that Liu Qingqing had many wounds on her body. Although most of them were superficial wounds, it was clear that she had experienced a soul-stirring battle.
Liu Qingqing pursed her lips. Her lips moved, but she did not speak.
Whoosh!
At the same time, the sound of rushing wind suddenly rang out.
A spiritual energy pillar whistled towards Gu Xi at an extremely fast speed.
“Be careful!” Liu Qingqing hurriedly warned him.
Gu Xi snorted coldly and similarly threw out a spiritual energy pillar.
The two spiritual energy pillars collided with a loud bang.
In the next moment, powerful spiritual energy ripples spread out.
Gu Xi did not move at all. On the contrary, Zhu Ning, who had attacked, took a few steps back and finally stabilized his body.
“Do you want to die?” Gu Xi said coldly with killing intent in his eyes.
In his opinion, everyone present was an accomplice in humiliating Liu Qingqing! These people deserved to die!
However, Gu Xi had already regained his rationality and did not make a move.
If he really killed everyone present here, it was unknown whether he would be able to leave the planar battlefield safely. Even if he could leave, he definitely wouldn’t be able to leave Jiaping City unscathed.
This was not the result he wanted.
He came to this competition for the Snowfall Fungus.
He did not want to attract too much attention and did not want to cause trouble. However, this did not mean that other people could bully him and the people around him.
“This kid has violated the rules and is still so arrogant!”
“That’s right, it looks like this is his first time participating in the competition, right?”
“I don’t know which poor country he came from, but he actually dared to fight back against the law enforcement officers of the Daluo Sect. He really wants to die!”
Seeing that Gu Xi was resisting, everyone could not help but discuss in low voices.
“Please cooperate with me and take this guy down. After this, our Daluo Sect will definitely repay you!” Seeing that he was no match for Gu Xi, Zhu Ning had no choice but to speak to everyone.
As soon as these words were said, everyone’s eyes lit up.
They did not know what kind of repayment it was, but with the way the Daluo Sect handled things, it was definitely not something that would disappoint.
For a time, many people stood up from the crowd. Waves of extraordinary spiritual power burst out, and the overlapping pressure locked onto Gu Xi who was not far in front of him.
Seeing this, Gu Xi’s expression became colder and colder.
These people were worse than pigs and dogs. Previously, when Liu Qingqing was being bullied, no one stood up to stop her. Now, when they heard that there was revenge, all of them could not wait to stand up and participate.
This group of people… really deserved to die!
Gu Xi clenched his fists. Killing intent was overflowing in this medium-sized inn.
