Chapter 1184 The Man of the Sea of Sin, Before Wuwei City
"I don't like his eyes." Seemingly because Gu Xiu had remained silent, the young man in the rapier lost interest and waved his hand dismissively.
"Bai Ge, kill him."
"Yes, young master!" The powerful man holding the long spear grinned maliciously, took a step, and with a burst of white light, he charged towards Gu Xiu in an instant.
He was incredibly fast, like a sharp arrow, and before he could even get close to Gu Xiu, he suddenly swept his long spear towards him.
Seeing the figure rushing towards him, Gu Xiu hesitated slightly, but ultimately did not choose to kill directly. He simply took a half step to the side, and the sweeping spear just grazed past him.
He was not harmed in the slightest.
"Humph!"
The powerful man named Bai Ge was not surprised to see Gu Xiu dodge the attack. Instead, he snorted coldly and suddenly burst into speed again, arriving in front of Gu Xiu in an instant, before the tip of his long spear could be retracted.
But the end of the long spear was already hurtling straight at Gu Xiu.
This move surprised Gu Xiu somewhat.
This person has good combat experience.
However, it was only a minor improvement. Faced with this sudden change of tactics, Gu Xiu still did not respond. He simply took another step and skillfully dodged the attack once again.
The opponent was instantly enraged, gritting his teeth and launching another fierce attack. His moves were wide and powerful, like an unparalleled general on the battlefield, capable of slaying any powerful enemy with a single glance.
Unfortunately, he was facing Gu Xiu.
Even though Bai Ge has extensive combat experience, having clearly killed many people and participated in numerous battles, he is still no match for Gu Xiu, who has spent five hundred years engaging in intense, almost sleepless, daily duels with top experts.
In fact, that's it.
The result was that no matter how fiercely and unparalleled Bai Ge fought, he could not hurt Gu Xiu in the slightest, and could not even touch the hem of Gu Xiu's clothes.
"Damn it, don't try to hide if you dare!" A moment later, Bai Ge gasped for breath, staring at Gu Xiu with a face full of resentment.
Gu Xiu still did not respond to his question.
He just kept staring at the other person.
He looked thoughtful.
He had initially intended to kill the three directly, but ultimately decided against it because he remembered what the Supreme Lord Wangyue had said: the cultivation method of the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin was different from Haoyu's, and perhaps even more than one path.
Therefore, he wanted to use Bai Ge to test the strength of the people from the Three Realms Sea.
The more he looked at it, the more confused he became.
He was certain that this person was not a cultivator like himself. On the contrary, he often gave Gu Xiu the feeling of an ordinary soldier, because Gu Xiu could not sense any spiritual energy fluctuations constantly circulating within the other person's body.
However, the opponent did not seem to be a simple mortal soldier, because the opponent's strength and speed were indeed beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.
and.
During the battle, every time this person's killing move was about to reach Gu Xiu, he would instantly unleash a power that made Gu Xiu's heart tremble. That power was not spiritual energy, but it was very similar to spiritual energy. More importantly, after observing for a while, Gu Xiu discovered that the intensity of that power could even rival that of a Supreme Being.
But this power wasn't always there, and it didn't seem to be his own power.
If I had to put it in a way, it's more like a borrowing of power.
The moment the attack was launched, the opponent precisely borrowed that power, and the moment the attack missed, the borrowed power was returned. This repeated itself, making it difficult for Gu Xiu to figure out what kind of technique it was.
"You are dead!"
Seeing that Gu Xiu still ignored him, Bai Ge seemed to be enraged. His aura erupted again, but this time he did not return it immediately. Instead, it filled his body and attacked Gu Xiu again.
This time.
The opponent's speed and strength increased several times over. More importantly, at the same time this person was going all out, the woman in the cloak standing next to the rapier-wielding young master was also activating the Bagua compass in her hand.
In an instant, a chilling aura appeared around Gu Xiu without warning, followed by a cage formed from frost and ice that locked him inside.
At the same time, Bai Ge brandished his long spear again and thrust it forward.
With his movements restricted, Gu Xiu had nowhere to hide this time.
But this time Gu Xiu didn't plan to hide anymore. He had recovered some of his cultivation, and although not much, he was able to break through the cage and kill Bai Ge with the power of the Instant Step.
He didn't kill them directly because he wanted to observe their cultivation levels, not to put himself in a passive position.
but.
Just as Gu Xiu had activated his cultivation, he suddenly stopped. The next moment, a burst of blazing flames appeared in front of Bai Ge, which then transformed into a wall of fire, forcing Bai Ge, who was holding a long spear, to retreat several steps.
"Who?!" Bai Ge turned his head angrily, but when he saw who it was, his expression changed drastically. He took a step back and stood in front of the young master with the slender sword.
This time, there were three people as well.
He was a young master dressed in brocade robes, holding a folding fan, with a face as white as paper. Behind him were two scantily clad and alluring women, leaning against him on either side, their breath sweet as orchids and their eyes seductive as silk.
The young master with the slender sword looked at the young master with the folding fan, his face cold: "Shen Yanshu, do you want to meddle in other people's business?"
"Mind your own business?" Shen Yanshu laughed. "Fang Suming, have you forgotten the blood feud between our two families? Not to mention that we are now adversaries in Wuwei City. If I can cause you some trouble, that's no small matter."
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you before entering the gray fog?" Young Master Fang Suming's eyes were cold and sinister.
The folding fan-wielding young master Shen Yanshu didn't seem to care at all. He even jokingly said to the two beauties beside him, "Ladies, listen to this. This good-for-nothing surnamed Fang is trying to kill me."
The two women giggled:
"Young master, don't panic. If he tries to make a move, I will make sure he doesn't leave alive."
"My lord may not know, but the more useless a person is, the more adept they are at daydreaming and indulging in wild fantasies."
Fang Suming was clearly of extraordinary status, and upon being insulted like this, his face immediately turned cold, and he angrily shouted: "Bai Ge!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Kill those two sluts!"
"Yes!"
Without any hesitation, Bai Ge, who had previously intended to capture Gu Xiu, immediately swung his long spear and flung it out. The spear spun rapidly, almost like a spinning blade, and turned a corner towards the two women.
Bai Ge didn't wait for the result. Instead, he took a step and disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was standing under the spinning halberd. He reached up with one hand and then swung it fiercely at one of the women.
This tactic made Gu Xiu narrow his eyes slightly.
What a strange move! And the speed just now was somewhat similar to my own Instant Step, as if it appeared out of thin air.
While Gu Xiu was secretly observing, the woman facing the long spear chuckled lightly. With a flick of her hand, a red ribbon suddenly appeared and wrapped around the spear, instantly slowing down the spear's sharpness, which seemed capable of cutting through everything.
"A mere trick!" Bai Ge sneered, and the strange power that Gu Xiu felt surged again. The red ribbon was instantly cut in half, no longer able to provide any resistance.
The woman's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly retreated.
Although Bai Ge was suffering terribly at Gu Xiu's hands, he was unstoppable against this woman, giving her no chance to retreat. With a flash of cold light from his long spear and a scream, he directly severed one of the woman's arms.
Just as he was about to press his advantage, a jade-like hand struck his chest heavily; it was another scantily clad woman who had made the move.
This palm strike appeared weak and powerless.
But when Bai Ge took that blow, it was as if he had crashed into a flying mountain. He was instantly sent flying backward and fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood. Gu Xiu even saw that he had vomited out several pieces of his internal organs.
Gu Xiu's eyelids twitched; such powerful physical strength!
Neither side seemed to intend to hold back. After the woman finished her palm strike, she quickly flew forward to finish off Bai Ge. Knowing the danger, Bai Ge also struggled to his feet, holding his long spear and preparing to fight again.
However, just as the battle was about to resume, the two sensed something at the same time and quickly retreated, each returning to their master's side.
Gu Xiu looked over.
But then, several more figures appeared in the distance. Their group was similar to that of Fang Suming and Shen Yanshu, consisting of a young master or young lady with two servants, each keeping their distance from the others.
Clearly, they were wary and suspicious of each other.
"The city lord's birthday celebration hasn't even started yet, and you've already started fighting. It seems you're trying to strike first and seize the Occurrence Fruit?"
"Keep fighting! Let's watch the show!"
"Yes, please don't stop. I've been so bored on this journey. It's rare to have some fun in Wuwei City. Please don't stop because of us."
"..."
These people were clearly not there to mediate; they all seemed to thrive on chaos and started making sarcastic remarks.
This put Fang Suming and Shen Yanshu in a somewhat precarious position. Neither of them wanted to become clowns for others to enjoy, nor did they want to lose face. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, a soldier wearing dark armor and with a scar running across half of his face stepped forward.
"Gentlemen, the gray fog in Wuwei City has been acting strangely lately, and the city lord's birthday banquet is just around the corner. We are afraid that war may break out. We hope that you can put an end to the fighting."
Gu Xiu noticed that this person spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and the group of cynical young men seemed to be wary of him, so they did not continue to argue, each saying that it was boring and then turning around and leaving.
Fang Suming and Shen Yanshu, who had taken the opportunity to back down, did not cause any more trouble for each other. They simply exchanged a cold glance and then turned away.
However, Fang Suming seemed to remember something after taking a couple of steps. He suddenly turned back to look at Gu Xiu, stared at him for a moment, and then asked coldly:
"I've been observing you. Although you hid it very well, I was absolutely certain that I saw the occasional flash of confusion in your eyes."
"You...you're from out of town, aren't you?"
