Chapter 0 54. You’ve Pissed Me Off
Qin Gou stared at the retreating back of the mysterious and eccentric girl for a long time, speechless.
She’s certainly a person with a story.
He glanced at the crimson hair in his hand. It still pointed in a general direction, subtly shifting occasionally. It seemed Gu Feiyan and the others were still on the move but not in a hurry, implying they hadn’t encountered any insurmountable crisis.
Summoning the Dream Person Lantern and gripping a Top-grade Spirit Stone along with the crimson hair in his other hand, Qin Gou sighed and continued his journey.
“Ah, you are… a Stone Spirit!”
“No, please don’t kill me.”
“The Stone Spirit is here, everyone run!”
“Spare us, Stone Spirit!”
However, the encounters that followed left Qin Gou don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Every time he thought a great battle might erupt with the people he met, as long as they clearly saw his appearance, coupled with Qin Gou deliberately putting on a stiff and dull expression, and then shouting a few times, he could easily scare the wits out of those pitiful youngsters.
Is this considered a blessing in disguise?
Suddenly, the crimson hair in Qin Gou’s hand began to change direction at an astonishing speed. A hint of shock appeared in Qin Gou’s eyes. In this gray mist maze, Gu Feiyan’s strength was undoubtedly top-tier. There was only one person who could make her flee in such panic… the Stone Spirit!
No longer concerned about alerting any ambushers with ill intentions lurking around, Qin Gou’s back sprouted two green leaves, and he rushed towards Gu Feiyan at breakneck speed.
“Damn it!”
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Gu Feiyan’s mouth. Her eyes, like Lake Hillier, were a dreamy pink. Her dark whip had already snapped. Liu Ying, who possessed no combat prowess, stood behind her, holding her Natal Spirit Tool in the shape of a treasure bottle, connecting Gu Feiyan’s body with a cerulean water line to continuously restore her Spiritual power.
The Stone Spirit, with an ice-cold gaze, stood not far from Gu Feiyan, exuding a terrifying aura. It opened its mouth and said dryly, “Your mom… dead.”
“Bastard, this Stone Spirit can even curse?” Gu Feiyan furrowed her delicate nose and gritted her teeth, saying, “How rude! The real Qin Gou wouldn’t be so uncouth as you!”
He’s usually quite devious in his methods of repelling enemies, Gu Feiyan thought to herself.
While the Stone Spirit appeared dull and slow, its attacks were as swift as a leaping rabbit. A fatal punch was hurled towards Gu Feiyan. Although Gu Feiyan could anticipate its next move and dodge quickly, she could only do so when the enemy’s Realm was similar to hers. The speed unleashed by the Stone Spirit was beyond her imagination.
“Buzz!”
Gu Feiyan failed to evade this terrifying strike with Liu Ying. However, the silver pendant on her chest suddenly hummed, emitting a dazzling white light. After bearing the Stone Spirit’s blow, it quickly shattered.
*Puff!*
Yet, even with the protective magic treasure bestowed by Gu Jinghong, Gu Feiyan was still sent flying like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mist of blood. Her gaze was dim and sorrowful, a trace of despair lingering in her heart.
“Xiao Yan!” Qin Gou finally arrived, witnessing Gu Feiyan being struck down. He cried out in shock and anger.
Gu Feiyan looked at Qin Gou and shrieked, “Stone Spirit? No, it’s Qin Gou! Qin Gou, don’t come over, leave quickly, get out of here! We are no match for this Stone Spirit. If you come any closer, you’ll die!”
This time, the Stone Spirit didn’t relentlessly pursue Qin Gou. Because Gu Feiyan was closer, it decided to claim the life of the beautiful woman first. It strode forward, its hand slashing down like a sharp blade, mercilessly striking as Gu Feiyan lost focus.
“No!”
Qin Gou roared heartbreakingly. His Spiritual power surged unrestrainedly, and his entire person moved like lightning, instantly reaching Gu Feiyan’s side, and blocking the Stone Spirit head-on!
The Senluo Seed transformed into a spring grass at the fastest speed, but it was too late. With a “puff,” a large amount of fresh blood dyed Gu Feiyan’s vision red, along with the tears streaming from her eyes.
Limbs flew. Qin Gou’s right arm was severed at the shoulder and thrown aside. The spring grass then exerted its force, creating a distance between Qin Gou, Gu Feiyan, and the Stone Spirit.
“Idiot!” Gu Feiyan cried, holding the fallen Qin Gou, her tears flowing like a rain shower. She sobbed heartbrokenly, “Your hand! I told you to get going, why did you still come to die? Do you want to die with me?”
“You’re crying. This is the first time I’ve seen you cry. I didn’t expect Xiao Yan to look so pretty when she cries.” Qin Gou smiled and extended his remaining left hand, gently caressing Gu Feiyan’s exquisite face.
Gu Feiyan’s tears poured down, and she sobbed uncontrollably, choking out, “I’m asking why you didn’t listen to me and leave quickly.”
“Leave?”
Qin Gou’s smile grew even gentler. “How could I leave? Because you are here.”
“Idiot, even at this point, you’re still trying to be cool.” Gu Feiyan wiped away her tears forcefully, managing a smile as if she wanted her final image in Qin Gou’s heart to be even more perfect.
“How cool am I? Wow…” Blood flowed from Qin Gou’s mouth.
Amidst her sorrowful tears, Gu Feiyan smiled innocently and romantically, holding Qin Gou tighter in her embrace. She could even hear their rapidly beating hearts: “Can’t be any cooler.”
The footsteps of death gradually approached.
Qin Gou looked up at the ice-cold Stone Spirit, reached out, and gently wiped away the crystalline tears from Gu Feiyan’s eyes. “Now, Brother Qin will show you, even cooler!”
“Who allowed you to hurt her?”
Although Qin Gou was severely wounded and in a sorry state, his black and white eyes were as sharp as the supreme Celestial Master of Arc-Moon Mountain. Despite lying on the ground, he exuded a domineering aura, looking down from a superior position, as if he commanded the winds and clouds.
“Bastard, you’ve truly pissed me off this time!”
In a flash, as the Stone Spirit charged forward like a bolt of lightning, Qin Gou lifted his legs. Those ordinary-looking black boots, enveloped in a blinding light, suddenly shot towards the Stone Spirit.
“Divine Steps, self-destruct!”
*Boom!*
A deafening roar shook the heavens. The entire gray mist maze trembled as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked. The strange and mystical gray mist was instantly torn and shattered by a pair of invisible hands filled with immense power, never to be restored.
All those within the gray mist maze were thrown to the ground by an irresistible force, cries of agony filling the air.
A wisp of True Man Wangji’s Remnant Soul’s voice sounded, extremely unstable.
“Due to unknown reasons… the Stone Spirit was destroyed by a mysterious force… the second trial has ended prematurely…”
