“Guh!” A mouthful of black blood shot out from his mouth, and if there was daylight, Tang Qinghong would be able to clearly see the black smoke emerging from him.
He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, his eyes fixed on the evil cloud of anger in front of him. The vengeful spirit had taken on a humanoid form, and was following behind their group the entire time. In order not to harm ordinary people, Tang Qinghong had led a vengeful spirit into the forest. However, this thing was extremely powerful, and although he was unwilling to admit it, he was bound to lose here.
It would be risky if he pushed too hard, and he held a jade talisman in his hand. He could crush her anytime he felt that he could not handle the situation.but when he thought about it, he really had no desire to bow his head to that person. He had miscalculated this time, had just exited the heritage headquarters, and at least seventy percent of his strength was sealed. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to expend as much effort to deal with such a small thing in front of him!
This mass of black chi was at most the level of Induction Chi, but as it lacked solid mass and was good at illusion, it was the worst match he could fight.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes when he saw a figure approaching. Seeing the figure's face more clearly, he had no time to destroy the jade talisman. He moved quickly, using the last bit of energy he had to cripple the vengeful spirit.
“Why are you here?!” Tang Qinghong yelled at Gu Xiqiao, his brows furrowed deeply, “Quickly and take the opportunity to run while I can still hold him back, otherwise we will both die here today!”
Gu Xiqiao did not reply, seemingly ignoring him as he stared at the black mass in silence. Thinking that she had been petrified out of fear, Tang Qinghong cursed. He forced himself to soften his voice, his tone soft as he tried again. “Do not be afraid, turn around and walk straight down the mountain. Do not look back, and immediately arrange an evacuation once you reach the village. ”
His mission was to protect ordinary people, if he could not stop this thing here tonight, he was afraid it would cause havoc.
“I'm not afraid,” Gu Xiqiao said suddenly, turning to look at him. His clear obsidian eyes shone, completely unaffected by it. “I was just thinking about how to kill him.”
Tang Qinghong could not react, but no matter how confused she was, it could not cover the elegance and noble air that was within her. “What?”
“Stand still, don't move.” A pill appeared out of nowhere into Gu Xiqiao's palm, and he quickly flicked it into Tang Qinghong's mouth before he could close it.
The pill melted in his mouth, although Tang Qinghong could not feel anything from it. He felt like a wave of refreshing water had poured down his throat, flowing all over his body, quickly evaporating into the mist within and flowing all over his body in an instant. He felt the wounds on his body recovering slowly, the chi he had taken out also returned to him, even the seal that limited his strength felt looser.
What kind of elixir is this? To recover chi?
He raised his head, and the sight before him rendered him speechless. Not knowing what he had done, the vengeful spirit that had managed to reach the humanoid form had disappeared. It had become a plume of black smoke, and seemed to be circling wildly, consistently crashing into something invisible, stuck in an area and unable to escape.
Gu Xiqiao's hand moved swiftly as he drew a pattern in the air, realizing that the black mass in front of them did not have a single ounce of intelligence. That meant that it was merely an incarnation of something greater, which the spirit of the system had identified, therefore he was prepared with countermeasures.
The huge spirit was hiding somewhere, controlling its incarnation from behind the scenes. Gu Xiqiao gestured with both hands, ready to set up a formation for the trap. He had also purchased a container from the system store that could hold a vengeful spirit, since this vengeful spirit could split itself apart, he could definitely uncover the secret from it!
And that was the scene that Tang Qinghong had witnessed. To the end, he actually forcefully crammed the black chi into the bamboo tube?
Where did this madman come from?
He wiped his lips again and looked at Gu Xiqiao, his eyes blazing. Based on what he had just seen, he could feel a vast level of chi within his body. Even though his level was not comparable to him, but with the formation he did with his hands, he might be able to destroy the younger generation of the ancient martial arts world!
Who's master? Tang Qinghong asked, coughing. Tidying up her delicate features became softer, she felt like a noble once again. “With talent like yours, there is no way you are not included in the Youth Ranking List in the ancient martial arts world.”
There are no such people on the list, and the names on the list are replaced every year on a global scale. Everyone in it had gone through countless evaluations, and in twenty names, most were men. There were only two women, and one of them was the tenth person from America. The other was one of the members of a closed family, at the sixth rank, known as the demon girl. Even he was afraid of his existence.
Gu Xiqiao glanced at him. “My master is no more.”
Tang Qinghong was stunned. After calming down, she said gently, “Sorry.”
“Let's go back first,” Gu Xiqiao said as he patted the bamboo tube that vibrated violently, “Quiet, or I will burn you.”
The bamboo tube immediately stopped shaking, and remained motionless obediently. After he inserted the vile object into the bamboo tube, the evil aura on the mountain had receded, and the moonlight finally pierced through the dense forest trees.
Under the inconspicuous moonlight, her porcelain skin seemed to glitter softly, giving her a pure and beautiful look. Although she carried herself with sophisticated elegance, traces of youth could not be hidden on her face.
Tang Qinghong couldn't explain it, but when she saw the image, she couldn't help but laugh a little. However as soon as the first laugh broke out, he felt the tremors jerking his internal wounds and he sighed in pain, but he continued to stare intently at the figure in front of him.
***
That night, a group of people who went up the mountain to camp, returned overnight. Others just assumed that they were a bunch of town kids who were not used to living in the woods, and didn't ask too much about it. Only a few people directly involved experienced a drastic change in attitude from the incident. The most obvious was Su Wen, who used to regard Tang Qinghong as the only person she would faithfully follow.
Now, he swore to follow Gu Xiqiao and Tang Qinghong both. This kind of worshiping attitude does not require any action to show, you can tell just from his expression and eyes.
Bao Xinyi became even more furious the more she watched the scene in front of her. He had stayed with the group all night, hence not having a dangerous and thrilling experience like Su Wen. So, she did not understand Su Wen's change in attitude overnight, thinking it was because of the girl's pretty appearance, and she couldn't stand this kind of shallow attitude!
“Nona Gu, my classmate is still not awake.” Gu Xiqiao has returned and found Su Wen waiting anxiously in the courtyard for her. After hearing what he said, he remembered another poor person who had been affected by a vengeful spirit.
“Where is he now?” Gu Xiqiao asked, as he began to stretch his arms lazily.
Su Wen scratched his head awkwardly. “The other worried about him, and took him to the hospital in the city at night. However, he had not woken up, and they were preparing to move him to the city. ”
Su Wen's eyes twinkled, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.
***
The city was not far away, it took less than ten minutes to get there by car. Gu Xiqiao took Shi Tou with him, towards Su Wen's car parked in a temporary warehouse outside the village. It was a black Porsche equipped with the latest SQ car audio, and the model design was similar to a sports car. In short, it is a simple designer luxury car that is very eye-catching.
Shi Tou looked at the car in awe, having never seen it before, and could not help but touch it.
Bao Xinyi looked at Shi Tou, frowning. No matter how well he hides his feelings, you can still see a hint of contempt on his face. However, he was still quite cautious of Gu Xiqiao to the point of not being fully visible.
Gu Xiqiao followed behind Shi Tou with a smile on his face, but when he saw the scene unfolding in front of him, the smile on his face faded.
The girl was still in the city hospital, the doctor had exhausted all the equipment available in that place and still could not figure out what the problem was. He advised the mayor to move the girl to a hospital in the city, but since Su Wen was the leader of this trip, they did not dare to allow the transfer without consent, she said, and could only wait sadly until Su Wen returned.
They only waited for a few minutes before Su Wen appeared, bringing along two strangers. These people had never seen Gu Xiqiao before, and assumed that he was Su Wen's friend.
Some teenagers could not help but stare at the beautiful girl, their eyes sparkling.
“Nona Gu, view.” When they reached the ward, the girl was lying on the bed. His face was slightly grayish in color, and his breathing was stable and deep. On the surface, he looked no different from anyone else.
Shi Tou held onto the tip of Gu Xiqiao's shirt, he looked at the person lying on the bed and blinked his eyes. This guy looks like his dad yesterday …
Gu Xiqiao walked over to the bed, his hand holding several golden needles. He raised his hand, his long, smooth fingers from the tusks waiting to move as he searched for the acupoints. As usual, he easily took the spotlight from the entire room.
He had a serious expression on his face, and he looked a pretty impressive sight.
“Wait!” Bao Xinyi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted, “Su Wen, letting her do what she did, is it right for me to assume that you will be responsible in case something goes wrong?”
“Ya,” said Su Wen without hesitation, directly answering him. After the experience he had last night, he had turned completely into a loyal fan of Gu Xiqiao. If he can't save her, then who else can?
“I hope you remember your words!” Bao Xinyi said, crossing her arms and standing to the side, a aloof expression on her face.
Others did not know what to say, this matter was quite mysterious in many ways. Falling unconscious on a mountain with no signs of illness, and unable to find the reason for it. They could not help but remember the supernatural incident that some young nurses talked about last night. Now that they thought about it again, it was truly creepy.
“Brother Su, should we find a Taoist priest to perform an exorcism?”
“Not needed. Go ahead and treat him. ” The first two words were aimed at her classmate, but the final part of her sentence was aimed at Gu Xiqiao.
Gu Xiqiao's golden needles had broken through the acupoints, injecting some chi into the girl's body at the same time. A majestic energy entered the girl's body, and the people gathered around the hospital bed clearly saw that after the third needle pierced through, the color started to return to the girl's face, and the people who were gathered around the hospital bed clearly saw that after the third needle pierced through, the color started to return to the girl's face, the previous one became a slightly grayish hue.
It seemed to be a mystical process, and Su Wen exclaimed in shock.
As the last needle entered the body, the girl's eyelids twitched. A more observant boy in the group saw it, and he shouted, “He moved, Brother Su, look!”
The voice was sudden and rough, piercing his ears. Gu Xiqiao raised his head to look at the boy, and then pressed a finger to his lips, making a silent movement. Her pale finger stuck to the lips of the pink peach flower on her graceful face froze the boy in place.
“Take a glass of cold water.” He said, looking towards Su Wen. Su Wen immediately took the mentioned item.
Gu Xiqiao took the glass and examined it for a while, flicked his finger into the glass before handing it back to Su Wen, “Go and feed him.”
What is that movie for? Su Wen had already adored Gu Xiqiao blindly, and he did not bother to ask any questions. He had just given it to another junior to feed the girl water.
Seeing that the water had been drained, Gu Xiqiao once again took his place by the bedside, plucking out the needles one by one in succession. When the latter was removed, the girl's eyelids twitched again, and under everyone's nervous gaze, her eyes opened slowly.
A group of people suddenly surged forward, all of them talking at once and talking to each other. Only Su Wen remained in place, scratching the back of his head, “Thank you. If...there is something you need in the future, please feel free to ask me. ”
Without him last night, his life would most likely be lost in a strange forest. Looking at his clear obsidian eyes, there were many things he wanted to say, but could not. He can only make promises. He thought that even the most powerful people would have a hard time, right? If he were to come to her in the future, he would definitely do all he could to help her.
Gu Xiqiao nodded his head slightly, giving him a smile.
Bao Xinyi, who was still standing by the door, remained silent with a displeased expression on her face, looking at Gu Xiqiao with a dark gaze. Gu Xiqiao never glanced at him, and this time he completely ignored him, pulling Shi Tou to the exit.
But when she reached the door, she deliberately turned to look Bao Xinyi in the eyes. Bao Xinyi immediately lowered her head to avoid eye contact in panic.
Gu Xiqiao's lips curled with a smile, rubbing his fingers. After a while, he seemed to have calmed down as he lowered his hand. Ah, he couldn't do that, he had to endure it.
