Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body

Chapter 262: Sitting Ducks

After taking the pill, it did not have the effect that Gu Xi had expected.

As Little Nine’s body was constantly being attacked by the spiritual power of the ancient demon beast, the effect of this pill could be said to be negligible.

The pill that could originally heal people’s injuries was only able to temporarily protect Little Nine’s body, preventing it from being tormented by the fierce attack.

If he wanted to heal her injuries, he would first have to force out the demon beast spirit energy in Little Nine’s body.

However, Gu Xi’s current realm was simply unable to do this.

One had to know that Gu Xi’s current realm was only at the peak of the Almighty stage. He hadn’t even reached the King stage yet. On the other hand, Little Nine was a genuine Quasi-saint stage.

If he wanted to help Gu Xi force out his spirit energy, he would have to step into the Saint stage in order to do this.

Moreover, now was not the time to heal his wounds. The night was about to retreat, and the dawn was about to arrive.

The most important thing now was to leave this place first. The other matters could only be solved later.

Seeing the worry on Gu Xi’s face, Little Nine comforted him. “Don’t worry. Although that guy’s strength is indeed not weak, it’s not so simple to take my life with just this level of spiritual power.”

As a divine beast, it was not easy to kill her.

“In that case, let’s leave first.” Gu Xi squeezed out a smile and nodded.

......

His gaze turned to the deeper forest in the distance, but his eyes were unusually cold.

He knew that the demon beast that injured Little Nine was definitely hiding there.

Gu Xi secretly made up his mind that before the end of this competition, he would definitely return and make that demon beast pay the price it deserved.

The few of them packed up briefly and then left in the direction they had come from.

At the same time, on the other side of the dense forest.

A large number of participants were continuously gathering together. As far as the eye could see, there was actually a total of several hundred people. and at the very front of them was the Hehuan Sect’s Wang Zhan.

“Looks like the fish has already taken the bait.”

Glancing at the two corpses that were deliberately hidden at the side, Wang Zhan chuckled. Then, with a wave of his hand, the people at the back understood and scattered.

However, in just a few short breaths, the originally bustling crowd had already disappeared into the surrounding dense forest, and the clearing was empty once more.

As time slowly passed, the distant forest rustled, and four figures silently darted out from within.

It was Gu Xi’s group.

Gu Xi glanced at the surroundings. Looking at the empty clearing in front of him, he furrowed his brows.

The sky was already bright. Logically speaking, there should be a large number of participants gathered here by now. No matter what, there should be a group of people.

Gu Xi immediately had a bad feeling.

However, the exit was already in front of him. There was no time for him to change his route.

Even if there was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire ahead, he could only brace himself and charge forward!

Thinking of this, Gu Xi no longer hesitated and took the lead to walk forward.

Behind him, Little Nine and the other two followed closely.

“Something’s not right.” Little Nine suddenly spoke from behind him.

Gu Xi nodded and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, be careful.”

However, the moment his words sounded, a thick spiritual energy pillar whistled out from behind a tree not far away at lightning speed.

“Be careful!”

Gu Xi shouted loudly. The spiritual energy within his body erupted without reservation at this moment. With a tap of his toes, his entire body rushed towards the spiritual energy pillar.

Among the group of four, he was the only one who possessed 100% combat strength now.

He had to shoulder this burden!

Boom–

Accompanied by a shocking explosion, Gu Xi’s figure once again appeared beside Little Nine and the other two.

This sudden attack was clearly just a test.

Clap clap clap —

At the same time, a clear and crisp sound of a slap suddenly sounded.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. As expected of the leader of the Medicine King Valley. His strength is indeed not to be underestimated.”

Looking in the direction where the sound came from, he saw Wang Zhan walking out with a smile.

Following his appearance, the surrounding woods continuously rustled. In just a short while, hundreds of participants dressed in different sect garbs walked out one after another.

Gu Xi and the other three were surrounded, and they were like sitting ducks.

At this moment, Gu Xi’s expression was grave. In his heart, he was already cursing Wang Zhan.

What he was really worried about came true!

“I’ve said it before, you will pay the price here for what you’ve done previously.” Wang Zhan crossed his arms over his chest, his gaze mocking.

In his opinion, this time, Gu Xi would be unable to escape even if he had wings.

If he was not afraid of Little Nine by Gu Xi’s side, he would not have spent so much money to bribe so many participants.

Each person had a high-grade spirit weapon, and there were hundreds of them!

“You knew I was coming?”

Gu Xi’s brows raised, and he could not help but have some doubts in his heart.

Wang Zhan, on the other hand, smiled wickedly and said, “Otherwise, do you think you can enter this place so easily? Or do you think that this woman will really be able to successfully escape and inform you about her whereabouts?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing’s expression changed drastically.

It was obvious that Wang Zhan had intentionally allowed her to escape from this place.

This was because only if she escaped this place and found Gu Xi and brought her here would Wang Zhan have the chance to capture all of them in one go.

“I didn’t know either… I didn’t do it on purpose…” Liu Qingqing said guiltily, her pretty face turning pale.

From her point of view, she was the main reason why Gu Xi was in trouble.

If she had sensed that something was wrong earlier, perhaps the result would have been different.

“It has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to blame yourself.” Gu Xi shook his head, and there was not the slightest reproach in his tone.

Even if Liu Qingqing did not inform him, Wang Zhan would definitely think of a way to release the news of Little Nine being trapped here to attract him.

Sooner or later, he would have to step into Wang Zhan’s net=.

“If you have any regrets, I can give you time,” Wang Zhan said confidently, his every move seemed to be full of confidence.

However, there was no panic on Gu Xi’s face at this time. Instead, he asked with a sneer, “Do you really think… that you can kill me just by relying on numbers?”

“Huh?”

Wang Zhan’s expression stiffened. However, he immediately smiled disdainfully. “Your mouth is still as tough as ever. This really makes me admire you. However, I am very curious. With your strength… How are you going to fight against the group behind me?”

Everyone present cried out in unison after Wang Zhan’s voice sounded.

Immediately, spiritual energy fluctuations erupted one after another!

At this moment, the spiritual power between heaven and earth suddenly boiled!
