Here was a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Refined State who was only slightly over twenty years of age. If word about this were to get out, it would generate a sensation throughout the entire mainland!
Murong Xiao did not seem to be too concerned about causing such a reaction. He stared sinisterly at Gu Ruoyun as murderous intent continued to roll off his being.
“I’m quite reluctant to kill you. I’ll spare your life if you serve me!”
Gu Ruoyun smiled coldly as she replied, “My apologies, even if you wanted to become my slave, I have no wish of sparing you.”
Arrogant!
This fellow was truly arrogant!
The opposition had only said one thing: he would spare her once she has pledged to serve him! However, she had replied that even if the former wanted to become her slave, she would not spare him at all!
After all, Murong Xiao was a Ninth Transformation cultivator. No matter how powerful Gu Ruoyun was, she was only at the mid-stage of the Refined State. What kind of power would give her the courage to say such a thing?
The Clan Leader unconsciously looked at Qianbei Ye. Based on his observation, he thought that Gu Ruoyun had dared to act so impudently because she has Qianbei Ye backing her. After all, Qianbei Ye’s power was also at the Ninth Transformation State. It was hard to tell who would win or lose!
“Hmph, little girl, don’t blame me for never giving you a chance. Since you want to dig your grave with me, I’ve got no room for you!”
Murong Xiao scoffed and no longer treated Gu Ruoyun with courtesy. His body flashed like a gust of wind and he quickly reappeared behind Gu Ruoyun.
“Lady Gu, watch out!”
Long Ling’er saw this and was so frighted that her heart nearly leaped out from her chest. She hurriedly cried out to warn Gu Ruoyun.
As Long Ling’er shouted her warning, Gu Ruoyun reacted and swung the Nine Emperors at Murong Xiao. The sharp blade carried an overbearing aura as it pressed towards him.
Murong Xiao wanted to stop the attack but it was too late. His fist landed on Gu Ruoyun’s chest just as the blade shot towards him.
However, as Murong Xiao had managed to dodge the attack on time, the blade had only slashed his arm.
Fresh blood flowed down from the wound and dripped onto the ground. Not long after, the amount of blood pouring from the wound increased, turning into a ghastly sight.
“Cough, cough!”
Gu Ruoyun coughed out a mouthful of blood. She then stared at Murong Xiao imposingly. At this moment, her face was extremely pale but the corners of her lips carried a cold, mocking smile.
“Lunatic, you’re a f*cking lunatic!”
Even a proud man like Murong Xiao could not help but curse out loud at this moment.
“I’ve never met a lunatic like you. Not only had you not tried to stop or dodge my attack, you had retaliated by attacking me at the same time!”
Gu Ruoyun raised the corner of her lips and rose from the ground.
“Do you know what my father’s nickname is?”
“What?” Murong Xiao paused for a moment and asked.
“My father…” Gu Ruoyun paused before she continued, “He was called a lunatic by the world! As his daughter, I certainly have my father’s blood in my veins so it’s natural that I would be a lunatic!”
Gu Ruoyun’s mind had involuntarily drifted towards Grand Lord Hong Lian’s grim yet handsome features. The smile in her eyes deepened.
It has been a while since they had parted. Once this matter has been settled, it was time for her to head towards the Red Lotus Territory to see her parents… And tell them about her big brother at the same time!
Murong Xiao scoffed and his eyes turned even gloomier, “Even if you are a lunatic, there’s nothing else you can do. With the difference in our powers, you will never be able to defeat me…”
