"Thud!"
Elder Xie hadn't even grasped what was happening when the battle saber had already forcefully pierced through his skin, penetrating directly through his back and out his chest, leaving a gigantic hole!
Blood trickled from the hole, and suddenly Elder Xie felt a breeze through his chest, an oddly cool sensation.
With a look of disbelief, Elder Xie lowered his head to look at the gaping hole in his chest, and he froze, "How did this happen?"
Why did a hole appear out of nowhere in his chest, and why was it bleeding?
Could this be fake?
But in the next mont, an excruciating pain shot through to his brain, and simultaneously his head spun, his entire body's Martial Arts Qi and Vitality Force began to rapidly disperse, and he uncontrollably collapsed to the ground.
"Gu Changsheng, you..." It was only now that Elder Xie realized that he was truly grievously wounded.
And it was the type of injury that killed with a single strike!
His heart had been pierced through, his Dantian destroyed, both happening almost simultaneously.
How on earth did Gu Changsheng manage that?
He had sure dodged the battle saber, so how had it suddenly lunged from behind him?
"Hmph! Elder Xie, this is the price you pay for laying a hand on this Young Master," Gu Changsheng looked down at Elder Xie with disdain, feeling internally that the Rune Talisman given by Young Master Ye was indeed extrely useful.
Gu Changsheng himself could indeed carve Formation Runes with a brush and use them to transfer.
But Seal Carving Formations required ti, and he couldn't achieve instantaneous effects yet.
However, when Gu Changsheng had parted ways with Ye Fan, Ye Fan had given him several Rune Talismans.
Among these, the talisman that altered orientation and spatial position was particularly from the enhancent of three thousand Runes on the Shadow Blade.
Just now, Gu Changsheng had used the power of that talisman to make the battle saber achieve a "Spatial Jump," appearing illogically behind Elder Xie.
After breaking through Elder Xie's chest with the spatial jump, then did Elder Xie notice the existence of the battle saber.
"Save ... Elder Zhou..."
As Elder Xie collapsed powerlessly to the ground, he called out in desperation towards the grove of trees at his side.
Although Elder Xie's Dantian and heart had been destroyed, if a Martial Emperor Strong were willing to use their origin energy to protect Elder Xie's Vitality Force, Elder Xie could at least stay alive.
But any Martial Emperor Strong who took action would suffer irreversible severe damage to their own origin.
In such a situation, who would be willing to make a move for Elder Xie?
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Ten powerful Qi Force Fluctuations erged from the woods, as the ten Top Martial Emperor Experts arranged by the royal family in hiding all flashed into view.
Leading them was an old man wearing a mask, "Gu Changsheng, do you think by killing Xie Fei you can escape? Useless... now that you've done the deed, there's no chance you're leaving here alive!"
Whoosh!
The ten Great Martial Emperor Experts moved swiftly, about to form a circle around the very spot and completely surround Gu Changsheng.
As for Xie Fei, Elder Zhou couldn't even be bothered to glance his way!
His fate was of no concern to anyone!
"Elder Zhou..." Xie Fei twitched on the ground, with blood oozing from his eyes, nose, and ears... yet even when one of the Martial Emperor Strong stepped right on his head, he was utterly ignored.
Such is the cruelty in the world of the strong!
Gu Changsheng watched the unfolding situation with a cold smile on his lips, but internally he couldn't help but marvel at how amazing Young Master Ye truly was!
Was he an Immortal? He actually foresaw all the possible troubles that might occur!
```
Ye Fan had prepared not only Rune Talismans for Gu Changsheng but also ten Puppet Zombie Papers! And on those ten Puppet Zombie Papers, there was the essence of Gu Changsheng's Qi.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Before the Top Ten Martial Emperor Experts could complete their encirclent, Gu Changsheng made his move. Ten pieces of paper flew out of his hands, each heading in a different direction.
Each erupted with intense Martial Arts Qi and Vitality Force, their fluctuations indistinguishable from that of a living person.
In an instant, Elder Zhou and the Top Ten Martial Emperor Experts were flabbergasted.
What's going on here?
It wasn't possible for Gu Changsheng to move so fast as to leave afterimages in ten different directions.
But they dared not overlook any trace of Qi, in case they missed the real Gu Changsheng. If Gu Changsheng escaped this encirclent, with his tricky Formation skills, it would not be easy to catch him again.
This was, after all, Chi Hu's territory. The royal family had barely managed to persuade Zhang Ping with trendous effort, let alone the other frontier leaders of the Red Tiger Domain.
Which ant that if Gu Changsheng managed to escape the border area, the royal family would truly have no ans to deal with him.
And if tonight's operation was exposed, the Red Tiger Domain would completely fall out with the royal family, and many subsequent matters would beco extrely troubleso.
"Everyone, attack! Show no rcy, do not let him escape, or we'll all lose our heads!"
Elder Zhou's heart tightened, already sensing an ominous feeling.
If Gu Changsheng escaped, and with the royal family and Red Tiger Domain turning against each other, they might very well be scapegoated!
Moreover, the Emperor's order from the royal family was indeed to seize the Elixir Pills, and taking action against Gu Changsheng was more the intent of the Elders Council.
Boom!
Boom!
The Top Ten Martial Emperor Experts took action simultaneously, chasing in ten different directions... The encirclent that had just ford instantly broke apart.
And at the center, Gu Changsheng stood in his original spot, several active Formation waves in his hand.
"Ah! The favor I owe Young Master Ye this ti is truly imnse!"
Gu Changsheng sighed and then, identifying an empty direction, activated his Formation. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot and reappeared on a small hill a few hundred ters away.
With a few sweeps of his brush in mid-air, his figure vanished again. In a few monts, Gu Changsheng had already escaped several kiloters away, completely breaking out of the encirclent.
As soon as he left the scene, Gu Changsheng quickly took out a spare phone and dialed his father's number, "Dad!"
Before Gu Changsheng could say anything more, coughing sounds ca through the phone, "Changsheng, you're still alive, that's great, I can breathe a sigh of relief at last!"
Huh?
Hearing his father's words, Gu Changsheng relaxed, but was mostly confused!
Based on the royal family's behavior, if they acted against him, they should have done the sa to his father's side simultaneously.
While they wouldn't dare cause too much commotion within the Chi Hu Domain's headquarters, getting rid of so of his father's Direct Lineage Troops and stirring up trouble was definitely on the cards!
"Dad, is everything alright over there? Are you okay?"
On the other end of the phone, Gu Tang spoke gravely, "This ti, thanks to a mysterious big shot who inford and arranged everything in advance, Chi Hu Domain avoided a catastrophe! What I was most worried about was you... but that big shot said it's very likely you'd be fine, and now that I've heard your voice, I'm relieved. The big shot arranged another secret passage that isn't guarded by Red Tiger Domain personnel – co back first, we'll talk later!"
"Ai! This big shot really saved the entire Gu family, we owe a debt of gratitude too huge this ti, and yet, with such a powerful intelligence system in Red Tiger Domain, we still don't know who this big shot is!"
Gu Changsheng gave a bitter smile. Who else could that big shot be?
It could only be Ye Fan!
Ah!
Such imnse kindness, impossible to repay... it seems I can only devote myself to his service in the future...
