Chapter 423: Tracker

Gu Sheng found a big rock and sat on it, observing the surrounding situation.

The view here is wide, and even if a rabbit appears within a hundred meters, it can be spotted in time.

After sitting down, Gu Sheng secretly summoned his divine power and released his spiritual consciousness to detect changes in the surrounding situation.

Gu Sheng sat on the big stone and glanced around.

He knew that now was the most critical time.

Immediately, Gu Sheng secretly mobilized the divine power in his body to release his spiritual consciousness.

The consciousness released by Gu Sheng, who had recovered as before, was like a large invisible net, covering a hundred meters around him.

Within this range, no slight movement could escape his perception.

At this moment, Gu Sheng's consciousness suddenly captured three weak power fluctuations.

These three forces seem to be approaching quietly.

If he hadn't sensed it with his spiritual consciousness, Gu Sheng really wouldn't have known there were such three forces.

Fortunately, their movements were completely invisible to Gu Sheng's powerful consciousness.

Gu Sheng immediately locked the positions of these three forces, then concentrated his consciousness and launched an attack on the weakest one among them.

"Uh-huh!"

His consciousness was like a sharp sword, piercing the opponent.

The other party obviously did not expect that Gu Sheng had such a powerful spiritual consciousness. He was caught off guard for a moment, and his spiritual consciousness was confused after being attacked.

Soon, this consciousness dissipated.

At the same time, as this spiritual consciousness dissipated, the other two forces also quickly retreated and disappeared into the barren mountains.

Gu Sheng withdrew his consciousness and stared closely in the direction where the consciousness disappeared.

He knew that the other party would not give up easily.

All you have to do now is wait quietly.

Sure enough, not long after, three figures quietly appeared in Gu Sheng's sight.

Gu Sheng stared at the three of them with an icy coldness in his eyes.

As the three people gradually approached, Gu Sheng saw their faces clearly.

"Huh? Why are they?"

Gu Sheng muttered secretly in his heart.

He didn't expect that these three people were the servants he met at Ji's house before.

They don't look particularly powerful, but they are really perseverant enough to be able to track them down here.

"Why are you three following me?"

Gu Sheng sat on the stone and asked coldly.

The three people looked at each other, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, said: "We followed the arrangement of the housekeeper Ji Ren and came to take your life."

Gu Sheng frowned, filled with doubts.

"Why do you want to kill me? I have no deep grudge against your Ji family."

"We are just performing a mission. As for why, we don't know."

The leader shook his head and said.

Gu Sheng knew that these people were just pawns, and even Ji Ren didn't have this ability.

Therefore, the real mastermind is the old woman Ji Hui.

"call……"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "In that case, don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng's figure suddenly rose up.

His figure rushed towards these three people like a bolt of lightning.

When the three of them saw Gu Sheng rushing towards them, they immediately dispersed and formed an encirclement.

Their movements were quick and orderly, and it was obviously not the first time they had performed such a task.

The leader drew a long sword from his waist.

Although it was daytime now, the sword still shone coldly in the sunlight.

I don’t know how many innocent souls there are under this sword.

The other two people each took out a pair of short knives, the blades were sharp and full of murderous intent.

Gu Sheng's eyes were cold.

For him, these three servants are no match for him.

But even so, it cannot be underestimated.

"Huhuhu..."

The divine power in Gu Sheng's body surged, and a powerful force circulated in his body.

"bring it on!"

Gu Shengsheng shouted and rushed away.

The leader swung his sword to meet Gu Sheng's vitals.

The other two people surrounded him from both sides, piercing Gu Sheng's weak side with their daggers like poisonous snakes.

The three of them cooperated tacitly and attacked fiercely.

Gu Sheng faced the difficulties without any fear in his eyes.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng's fist burst out with a dazzling green light.

A powerful golden power burst out from the fist.

A huge energy vortex formed around his body, swallowing up all the three people's attacks.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the three people's attacks were completely defeated by Gu Sheng's power.

They only felt a powerful force impact, causing their bodies to fly out involuntarily and fall heavily to the ground.

Gu Sheng stood there, the energy vortex around his body slowly dissipating.

Unexpectedly, the three of them were defeated by Gu Sheng with just one move.

The three of them got up from the ground, their eyes filled with shock.

They didn't expect that Gu Sheng was so powerful, and the three of them couldn't even block one of his moves.

"This...how is this possible?"

The leader murmured to himself, his face full of disbelief.

"The butler is such a scumbag, why do you want us to kill him? Isn't this asking us to die?"

"That's right. We couldn't withstand a single move. It made my liver hurt."

The other two servants also complained.

Gu Sheng looked at them coldly and heard from their tone that they had lost the courage to fight.

Gu Sheng did not make any more moves, but slowly walked towards them.

"Tell me, why did Ji Hui want to kill me?"

Gu Sheng's voice was as cold as a judge from hell.

The leading servant swallowed with some difficulty.

They knew they would not be able to complete their mission today.

"Ancestor Ji Hui said that you took something belonging to the Ji family with you."

The leader finally spoke.

"Things from the Ji family?"

Gu Sheng frowned, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Is it the Seal Removal Stone?"

Gu Sheng said secretly in his heart.

But that was given to her by Ji Ziyue secretly, and no one else knew about it at all.

Could it be that Ji Ziyue betrayed herself?

No, Ji Ziyue won't.

"What's that?"

Gu Sheng asked.

The leading servant shook his head: "We don't know either, we are just performing our mission."

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, knowing that he would not get any more information from these people.

"Let's go."

Gu Sheng waved his hand.

"Let... let us go?"

The three of them looked at each other. They did not expect that Gu Sheng would let them go.

"Well, save me now before I change my mind!"

Gu Sheng nodded.

Without saying much, they immediately turned around and quickly disappeared from Gu Sheng's sight.

Gu Sheng stood there and couldn't help but sigh as he watched them leave.

"Did Ji Ziyue really say something?"

Gu Sheng said to himself.

The three servants were full of anxiety as they fled back to Ji's house.

They knew that Ji Ren had always punished mission failures harshly, not to mention that this time it was the old woman Ji Hui who personally gave the order.

Therefore, the three of them involuntarily accelerated their pace, hoping to truthfully report the situation as soon as possible.

After returning to Ji's house, it was already night time.

The three of them did not dare to delay at all and immediately went to the housekeeper Ji Ren's residence.

Ji Ren was flipping through an ancient book in the room. After hearing the three people's reports, his face instantly turned gloomy.

"What? The mission failed?"

Ji Ren's voice was full of anger.

"yes."

The leading servant nodded.

"Where is Gu Sheng now?"

Ji Ren asked coldly.

"Gu Sheng is in a barren mountain thousands of miles away. I don't know if he has left now..."

One of the servants replied.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Ji Ren's eyes, and he glanced at the three of them coldly: "You three losers, you can't even handle this little thing, what's the point of keeping you?"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Ren had a sharp dagger in his hand.

His figure flashed past like a ghost, and the three of them fell into a pool of blood before they even had time to react.

There was no mercy on Ji Ren's face. He snorted coldly and turned around to leave the room.

In the middle of the night, it is the darkest time of the night.

Gu Sheng was sleeping soundly in a hidden cave in a barren mountain.

He was breathing steadily and seemed unaware of the approaching danger.

There was silence around the cave, except for the occasional chirping of night birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind.

However, at this moment, a black shadow quietly approached the cave.

This dark shadow is none other than Ji Ren.

He was extremely fast and made almost no sound, like a ghost in the night.

Ji Ren stopped outside the cave and looked around carefully.

After confirming that there was no one else, he slowly walked into the cave.

When he saw Gu Sheng sleeping soundly, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Three losers can't kill one loser, what a bunch of losers!"

Ji Ren's voice was low, and then he slowly raised the dagger in his hand, preparing to give Gu Sheng a fatal blow.

At this critical moment, Gu Sheng suddenly turned over and avoided Ji Ren's attack.

"Ji Ren, you are indeed here."

Gu Sheng said with disdain.

"So you're not asleep!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Ji Ren's eyes.

He didn't expect that Gu Sheng was pretending to be asleep and seemed to know that he was coming.

"Gu Sheng, do you think you can escape from my grasp?"

Ji Ren said coldly.

Immediately, a trace of cruelty flashed in Ji Ren's eyes.

After this simple contest, he also knew that Gu Sheng was no ordinary person.

But today he must kill him here. This is the task Ji Hui taught him.

"call……"

Ji Ren took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body was running wildly.

In an instant, a giant net composed of spiritual energy formed around his body.

This is exactly what he is good at - dragnet.

"Suffer death, Gu Sheng!"

Ji Ren shouted loudly.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

With the sound of breaking through the sky, the dragnet pressed towards Gu Sheng.

The majestic momentum seemed to crush the entire cave.

"not good!"

Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed. He knew the power of this move and did not dare to take it forcefully. His figure swayed.

Then he used the unique footwork taught to him by the old madman - Tiangang Seven Star Steps.

Several afterimages flashed past, and his figure moved left and right outside the cave, forward and back, making it elusive.

When Ji Ren saw this, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"What a beautiful footwork. He is worthy of being the one our ancestors wanted to get rid of."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Ren summoned his divine power again.

I saw his figure suddenly split into three, each one emitting a different light.

This is another of his unique skills - the clone technique.

Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment.

With his cultivation and surveillance, it was impossible to distinguish which one was Ji Ren's real body and which one was the clone in a short time.

And facing the simultaneous attack of three Ji Rens, Gu Sheng felt unprecedented pressure.

In desperation, Gu Sheng had to use the Great Void Technique.

In an instant, Gu Sheng's body suddenly became illusory and merged into the void.

"Hehe... He actually used the Great Void Technique in front of me..."

Watching Gu Sheng's figure disappear, Ji Ren sneered.

He seemed to have expected it, and then he formed seals with his hands and summoned his divine power again.

In an instant, the whole space was filled with powerful air fluctuations, as if to tear the entire space in half.

"Collect!"

With Ji Ren's violent roar, the space of dozens of meters around him solidified instantly.

Gu Sheng in the void was suddenly startled. He didn't expect that Ji Ren, as a servant, was so powerful.

It seemed that he was sucking away the oxygen around him.

If this were put in modern times, it would be a vacuum machine!

But now, he is going to use this trick to kill himself in the void.

When Gu Sheng was about to leave, the area of ​​the Great Void Technique was compressed into a ball, forming a small void area.

Gu Sheng was trapped in the Great Void Technique and could not get out.

At this time, Gu Sheng really felt the crisis of death.

If he continued to stay in the void, he would probably die of lack of oxygen in a few minutes.

"Your Great Void Technique is not pure yet. You are just showing off your skills in front of me! Humph!"

Ji Ren's mouth curled up a cruel smile.

"Go to hell!"

Ji Ren shouted.

Then, a ball of divine fire ignited in his palm.

The temperature of this divine fire was extremely high. Just when it was just lit, it could make Gu Sheng feel hot.

"Swish!"

Ji Ren threw the divine fire into the void area where Gu Sheng was trapped.

His intention was obvious, that is, to burn Gu Sheng to death in the void.

"What should I do?"

Gu Sheng was in a hurry and instantly sacrificed the "Taoism Sutra".

As a classic containing endless Taoist power, the Daojing naturally has the virtue of loving life.

At that moment, Gu Sheng also placed all his hopes on the Daojing.

Perhaps it was the instantaneous attack of spiritual power, the Daojing flew out of the void in an instant under Gu Sheng's urging, and emitted bursts of golden light above the void where Gu Sheng was hiding.

"Book? How can there be a book?"

Ji Ren was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, his power was slightly dispersed.

At this moment, one of the pages of the Daojing suddenly turned into a flying knife and flew directly towards Ji Ren.

The flying knife was extremely fast and arrived in front of Ji Ren in an instant.

"Oh my! Hidden weapon!"

Ji Ren was shocked.

He didn't expect that Gu Sheng could organize a counterattack at this time.

Then Ji Ren hurriedly encouraged his divine power to try to avoid the attack of the flying knife.

"Squeak!"

The flying knife flew across Ji Ren's cheek, leaving a blood mark.

"What is that?"

Ji Ren was surprised by the Daojing that turned into a flying knife.

Taking advantage of this gap, Gu Sheng took the opportunity to escape from the Great Void Technique and stood in front of Ji Ren again.

Seeing this, Ji Ren narrowed his eyes involuntarily.

"Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng, I really can't believe that you, a spearhead boy, have so many skills."

Ji Ren said with disdain. (End of this chapter)
