Gui Qi Zhu flew into a rage.
Who in the Confucian Sect taught this kid? He's too cunning!
Did you expect me to wait here for a whole incense stick? You'd be long gone.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Gui Qi Zhu unleashed his full speed and chased after him: "I've changed my mind!"
"Even the mighty Gui Qi Zhu goes back on his word?"
Xun Wu You cried out, "What's the difference between that and farting?"
"Since you know me, you should know I'm not that easy to fool."
Gui Qi Zhu sneered, "If you truly wanted to surrender, why would you run?"
He moved with lightning speed, quickly overtaking Xun Wu You.
Without a word, he swung his bone fan, creating a black ray that slashed through the air. He decided to subdue this slippery fish with three moves. Then he would use threats and inducements, or even confuse his mind, to ensure this kid couldn't cause any trouble.
Xun Wu You dodged sideways and flicked out a strand of gang qi, aiming straight for Gui Qi Zhu's throat. His figure flickered as he turned and sprinted westward.
"Good kid!"
Gui Qi Zhu swung his fan to deflect the gang qi. His eyes glowed with a sinister, you huo.
Who in the world is this kid's teacher? His moves are brutal, with no trace of the Confucian Sect's righteous energy!
"Where do you think you're going!"
Gui Qi Zhu's form blurred, and he reappeared three feet away from Xun Wu You. He swung a leg with a powerful kick, pushing his power to the peak. He wouldn't give Xun Wu You a chance to fight back.
Swish!
Xun Wu You drew his bamboo sword and unleashed the "Clear Rain Lingering Tide" move, sending out blasts of energy as he thrust towards Gui Qi Zhu's eyes.
This was a move that sought mutual destruction. If Gui Qi Zhu didn't retract his leg, he could surely kill Xun Wu You, but those two orbs would leave their mark on him.
"Damn you!"
Gui Qi Zhu roared in fury. His ghostly hand reached out to grab the bamboo sword, as he shouted, "Burning Sky Azure Dragon Seal!"
An azure dragon roared, instantly transforming the surroundings into a dark realm. A black-tinged azure dragon opened its gaping maw, engulfing Xun Wu You. The dragon's body stretched over twenty meters, its thick demonic energy as desolate as a deep abyss.
"Heavenly Emperor's Walk!"
Xun Wu You groaned, using the unparalleled Lin Tian Xing divine skill to resist.
A golden light, radiant and upright, formed a three-meter-tall golden shield. The two powerful techniques collided with a resounding boom.
With a crack, the demonic dragon shattered the shield, but Xun Wu You had vanished.
Gui Qi Zhu frowned, "It's the Heavenly Emperor's Walk! That's the protective xuan gong of Lin Tian Xing! Could this boy be a direct disciple of the Emperor Confucian?"
"Humph! So what? Though I'm not Lin Tian Xing's opponent, I presume Lin Tian Xing wouldn't dare leave the Hao Zheng Supreme Palace. If I capture his disciple, won't the De Feng Ancient Path fall into my hands?"
"He's already a xian tian sixth grade at such a young age. Give him two years, and he'll reach the peak of xian tian. I have to get my hands on this valuable piece."
Thinking this, Gui Qi Zhu chuckled softly, his expression sinister. He turned and chased towards the southeast.
(It's difficult to classify the pili strength levels, so I'll use the xian tian first to ninth grade system. Above the ninth grade is the peak xian tian, then there's chao qiang xian tian, and then near-deity beings.)
Xun Wu You cursed under his breath. He had encountered a psychopath. Not only could he not win, but he was also outpaced.
However, he had a clearer understanding of his own position. He was able to fight Gui Qi Zhu, the deputy body of Very Jun, for three or five rounds with ease, which meant his cultivation wasn't bad.
He had been too self-deprecating. His skill clearly surpassed Sui Wu Duan's, and perhaps, aside from the five strong figures of the Hao Zheng Five Paths, he might even be the strongest in the De Feng Ancient Path.
If he could gain another sixty years of cultivation, he might even be able to fight Ni Shen Yang.
The Xun Wu You from before he crossed over was truly gifted and talented. He had achieved strength that could rival hundreds of years of cultivation with just twenty years of foundation.
Of course, this was also thanks to the dedicated tutelage of Lin Tian Xing.
The wild grasses behind him rustled violently, the sound of Gui Qi Zhu's pursuit. Xun Wu You snorted and turned, unleashing another Heavenly Emperor's Walk. Using the recoil, he floated out over a hundred meters.
Xun Wu You didn't have time to think whether he could accidentally injure Gui Qi Zhu. He was determined to leave, and even Gui Qi Zhu, a top xian tian, couldn't stop him.
After all, he was just the deputy body of Very Jun, not reaching the level of chao qiang xian tian.
He couldn't beat Gui Qi Zhu head-on. Who said he wasn't a match for him in a game of dirty tricks?
I know the xian mo plot inside out. You dare to follow? I'll give you a big surprise.
Xun Wu You calculated the time. At this moment, Jun Feng Tian, guarding the first gate of the Hao Zheng Five Paths, should be investigating the case of the Single Sharp Criminal, who is Jian Zhi Chi, the one with the sword 'Heaven Can See Clearly' piercing his chest.
If he could join forces with Jun Feng Tian, Gui Qi Zhu would have to flee in disgrace.
The five masters of the Hao Zheng Five Paths are: Law Confucian Jun Feng Tian, Phoenix Confucian Ying Shuang Qing, Sword Confucian Ming Fu Zi, and Chivalrous Confucian Yin Xiao Shen, as well as Emperor Confucian Lin Tian Xing.
Lin Tian Xing is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by Law Confucian Jun Feng Tian. Ming Fu Zi and Yin Xiao Shen are about the same, while Ying Shuang Qing is not known for her martial prowess.
However, Lin Tian Xing cannot leave the De Feng Ancient Path, making Jun Feng Tian the strongest figure in the open. His chao qiang xian tian cultivation has no match for now.
But finding Jun Feng Tian in the vast sea of people is like searching for a needle in a haystack. With Gui Qi Zhu in hot pursuit, Xun Wu You thought long and hard, but he could only run for now.
Anyway, Gui Qi Zhu wouldn't be able to take him down within a hundred moves, but he gained skill pills from his daily draw. If they kept this up, after a hundred days, Gui Qi Zhu would probably be powerless against him.
He might not even need a hundred days.
The pili Destiny System has another setting: there's a chance to trigger extra side quests in different situations. Completing those quests can earn luck points.
The higher your luck points, the better the rewards you draw.
After a full month, you can get extra rewards.
This reward isn't always a skill pill; it could be weapons or martial arts techniques.
Xun Wu You ran through a forest, vaguely seeing two figures walking side by side ahead. As he got closer, his eyes lit up. One of them was dressed in red, with a thin butterfly knife at his waist.
The other was dressed in dark blue, with an ancient blue sword on his shoulder.
Butterfly Jun and Sword Sui Feng!
One is the first swordsman of the Northern Region, the other is the son of the godless Di Ming. They aren't top xian tian, but they're not far off.
Xun Wu You was overjoyed. Butterfly Jun was a pragmatist, and might not help, but Sword Sui Feng was a righteous swordsman who would always help the weak.
Just then, Gui Qi Zhu finally caught up to Xun Wu You again. He pointed a finger, unleashing a black beam that pierced the air, almost like a flashlight, aiming straight at Xun Wu You's vital points.
Gui Qi Zhu sneered, "An incense stick has passed. Have you made up your mind?"
Xun Wu You roared, "I refuse!"
He stopped, twisted, and thrust his bamboo sword out. With a series of blocking and striking, he defused the deadly black light, then turned and slashed a sword towards Sword Sui Feng and Butterfly Jun, drawing their attention.
Butterfly Jun was being pestered by Sword Sui Feng. He had left the Northern Region for his daughter.
The Blood Dark Crystal Tower was wreaking havoc on the Bitter Realm. He was worried sick about his daughter, fearing she might be harmed. Yet, he ran into the stubborn Sword Sui Feng, who clung to him, asking how to become famous.
"How many times do I have to tell you? To become famous, you need your own unique feature, an unrivaled poetic title! Your martial arts are good enough, but your poetic title is terrible." Butterfly Jun scowled, "Stop following me, I have no time to waste on you."
"But I can't think of anything!" Sword Sui Feng scratched his head, "Can you help me think of one?"
"Nonsense!" Butterfly Jun was furious, "If I thought of the poetic title, how would it still be your unique mark?"
