Chapter 418 - 417: Master Is In Danger
She actually used their own people as weapons.
As a result, they could only dodge but not fight back against Gu Qingluan’s “weapon”.
Another cloaked figure shouted, “Wu Xiao, save yourself quickly, or don’t blame us for showing no mercy!”
Wu Xiao was the cloaked figure entangled by the Golden Silkworm Thread.
Seeing that he couldn’t break free and was being swung around like a meteor hammer, Wu Xiao almost coughed up blood.
He glanced at the golden thread tightly wrapped around his right arm, deep into his flesh, and his eyes hardened.
Glowing arcane power turned into a sharp blade, slashing at his right arm.
In an instant, blood splattered, and a snowstorm of blood mist filled the air.
His arm, entangled by the Golden Silkworm Thread, was separated from his body, and Wu Xiao quickly retreated.
A hint of astonishment appeared in Gu Qingluan’s eyes.
She didn’t expect him to be willing to sever his own arm.
The arm, now of little value, was discarded by her.
After some thought, she raised her left hand, and a white light shot towards the severed arm.
Boom!
The severed arm turned into a bloody mist with a terrifying force, making it impossible for the other party to reattach it.
Seeing this, Wu Xiao almost spat blood.
“You despicable woman! 1 will make you wish you were dead!”
Black mist emanated from the wound of the severed arm, enveloping it.
With his remaining hand, Wu Xiao launched an attack.
Yin Qing and the other cloaked figure, without the restraint of the Golden Silkworm Thread, became even more ferocious in their attacks.
After witnessing the power of the Golden Silkworm Thread, they dared not be careless anymore.
As for Gu Qingluan, although she had recently advanced to the Stage of the Saint Realm, her strength surpassed most Saints.
On one hand, she had the experience from her previous life, and in addition, she practiced the top-tier Stellar Mantra from the Infinite Palace.
Unfortunately, she was currently trapped within the enemy’s set boundary and couldn’t absorb the power of the stars.
Otherwise, her power would be even more astonishing.
She battled the three of them alone, and the sky darkened as their arcane powers clashed, causing violent winds and turbulent spiritual energy.
If it weren’t for the boundary they were in, the surroundings would have been leveled to the ground.
The more they fought, the more shocked they became.
They hadn’t expected Gu Qingluan, at such a young age, to possess such formidable strength.
The three of them, all Saints, were actually unable to suppress her!
Both sides were evenly matched.
But Gu Qingluan didn’t want an even match.
She had to finish this quickly!
From their earlier conversation, it was apparent that Yin Qing and his group’s primary target was not herself but Feng Tianlan. Dealing with her was just a side task.
Feng Tianlan had been inadvertently involved by her.
She had a rough idea of how they had discovered Feng Tianlan.
Normally, he kept a low profile, and his face could easily change. His profound cultivation was hard for ordinary people to discern, let alone his identity.
The only time he might have been exposed was during the battle with the Dingbei Army.
At that time, Feng Tianlan had taken action.
If Yin Qing had fought him, he could have potentially sensed his identity.
Since she had been implicated, she couldn’t just stand by!
With these thoughts in mind, Gu Qingluan’s aura suddenly changed.
A formidable pressure spread in all directions.
Yin Qing and the other two were alarmed.
This was…
“You’ve been hiding your true strength?”
Wasn’t the power she displayed just moments ago her real strength?
Such a tremendous pressure!
A shiver ran down their spines as they gazed at Gu Qingluan, their eyes filled with fear.
Gu Qingluan’s red lips curled up slightly, and her icy eyes glittered in the darkness. “You’ve kept me waiting for so long. Now it’s time to pay the price.” As her words fell, she flickered and disappeared from her original spot.
This boundary had been set up by Zhao Mingyi.
Inside his boundary, he was like a king.
However, at this moment, he found that he couldn’t sense Gu Qingluan’s aura at all!
If even he couldn’t sense it, then Yin Qing and Wu Xiao certainly wouldn’t be able to either.
The three of them were taken aback, and their senses were on high alert as they scanned their surroundings.
Swoosh!
Fire suddenly erupted, surrounding the three of them.
“Ah!”
They were on guard against Gu Qingluan’s sneak attack but hadn’t expected her to set fire directly.
What was even more astonishing was that this wasn’t ordinary fire; once it touched them, it couldn’t be extinguished.
The searing heat easily broke through their protective arcane powers and melted the defensive spirit weapons they wore.
Their souls trembled uncontrollably.
The intense pain made them scream in agony, completely devoid of the dignity of Saints.
Gu Qingluan emerged from the fiery surroundings and fixed her icy, relentless gaze on the three cloaked figures who writhed in agony, her eyes gleaming like fiery rubies in the glow of the flames.
Under normal circumstances, with her current cultivation, her true flame wouldn’t be able to burn them to death while they were still conscious and at their full strength.
However, with the influence of the Hongmeng Qi, the flames were incredibly powerful.
Even Saints couldn’t escape its grasp.
But in doing so, she had very little Hongmeng Qi left in her body.
Not long after, the three of them were burned to the point where their souls scattered, and they turned to ashes.
The boundary around them collapsed, revealing the real world.
Gu Qingluan’s spiritual sense quickly scanned the surroundings, and she soon spotted Jing Feng lying on the ground.
Her pupils trembled violently, and she rushed over.
Jing Feng had been severely injured and was unconscious.
There were traces of dark energy burning his body, and that malevolent energy still raged within him.
Gu Qingluan quickly used a spell to drive out the dark energy.
After giving him a pill, Gu Qingluan shook him awake.
“Where’s your master?”
She urgently asked.
Jing Feng slowly opened his eyes, still a bit groggy. As his vision cleared, his mind sharpened.
He hurriedly said, “Miss Gu, it’s bad.. A very powerful mysterious person appeared just now, and the master is in danger!”
