Chapter 129: Chapter 100 Ruthless and Heartless! The Woman in White Dress!_2

"As the parent official of the people in Canghe County, I am their only protector. You vile maggots dare to trade human lives in secret, an act devoid of any conscience? I am here to carry out heaven’s justice!"

The two seemed to have a tacit agreement, neither revealing whose power was behind this auction.

"Good! Very good! Truly befitting of our righteous magistrate. You’re even more ruthless than Cao Shiduan! This time, we admit defeat!"

The masked figure trembled in fury, clutching his severed hand as he floated away with an eerie, nimble movement. His mastery of movement techniques was formidable, but Liu Yuanhu was not one to let such a big catch escape. With a forceful stomp of his foot, his figure darted out like a lightning-fast leopard in pursuit.

Gu Sheng glanced from afar, not daring to linger. He noticed that the silhouettes battling around him had greatly diminished, and no one seemed to pay attention to this area.

His gaze suddenly turned icy. freёweɓnovel.com

Qi Blood Power surged in his right fist, cloaked by the Great Success Snake Breath Skill, without a trace of its presence appearing. The soldier facing him, oblivious to the anomaly, still swung his knife fiercely.

But Gu Sheng’s Qi Blood Power erupted violently, his fists accelerating and intensifying in strength!

Bang!

Like a massive stone weighing thousands of pounds, his fist smashed brutally into the soldier’s chest. A sickening crack echoed as the soldier’s chest caved in, forming a terrifying hollow. His internal organs were instantly crushed, and bright red blood sprayed from his mouth.

"Blood Refining Realm..."

His eyes widened in disbelief, as he died with his eyes open, incapable of fathoming that his opponent, who had sparred with him for so long, turned out to be a cunning expert in the Blood Refining Realm.

Gu Sheng wasted no time, advancing to search through the soldier’s belongings. Unfortunately, his spoils were meager, amounting to less than ten taels of silver.

After all, the soldier wasn’t a guest attending the black market auction; it made sense for him to carry little money.

From afar, Gu Sheng glanced at the central battlefield.

Liu Yuanhu was chasing after the masked man. Meanwhile, those who were previously under heavy scrutiny were now unleashing their power and fleeing in all directions. None of them acted alone; their accompanying followers were shielding them from harm, taking advantage of the chaos to escape without any hesitation.

The other guests were also sprinting down the mountain at full speed. Every guest who dared attend the auction was no ordinary individual; they had their own survival skills.

Gu Sheng felt no attachment to the scene and turned downhill.

This was no place to linger. Liu Yuanhu, being a Bone Refining Realm expert, likely wouldn’t take long to deal with the masked man. If he caught up again, it would spell trouble.

He had no intention of scrounging in the chaos. Although the black market guests were wealthy, the current situation was still perilous. Even if he managed to seize their fortunes, it would ultimately benefit someone else.

As he ran.

A chorus of killing echoed from the foot of the mountain.

Evidently, Liu Yuanhu had stationed men there as well. Those who descended ahead of time were ambushed, taking significant casualties. Many had lost their lives in the surprise assault.

The mountain was indeed fraught with danger at every turn.

Gu Sheng’s gaze tightened, and he changed direction to continue his descent.

Snake Breath Skill silently circulated, concealing both his aura and Qi Blood fluctuations. He sprinted swiftly, navigating shortcuts across the moderately-sized barren mountain — a luxury afforded only to Martial Artists, unlike the twisting paths the palanquin carriers had taken earlier.

Leaping off a massive boulder, Gu Sheng darted agilely like a fox, bouncing off tree branches to vault over uneven pits and crevices, covering vast distances in an instant.

Suddenly.

Gu Sheng’s steps halted, his gaze frozen, as he locked eyes with a pair of cold eyes.

Beside a moss-covered stone slab ahead, a white-dressed woman leaned against it, her aura entirely absent— she clearly had mastery over techniques to mask her presence. The mask covering her face was partially broken, faintly revealing delicate and refined features.

However, her current condition was less than ideal; her left arm was bloodied, and none of her followers were in sight.

She pulled a pill from her pouch and swallowed it. The moment she noticed Gu Sheng’s abrupt appearance, her gaze turned cold.

"It’s that rabbit-faced, white-dressed woman..."

Gu Sheng immediately recognized her. He had observed her closely before and remembered the distinguishing features of several others vividly.

Not long ago, he had seen her from afar. Her Qi resembled a veil, indicating her standing as a Blood Refining Realm Small Success expert, and even now, injured as she was, she wasn’t easy to incapacitate.

Time was critical now, and not a single moment could be wasted.

"The situation downhill is uncertain. Cooperation— how about we team up to fight our way down?"

The white-dressed woman spoke first. She carefully gauged Gu Sheng’s aura, a flicker of astonishment in her eyes. His ability to conceal his aura to an imperceptible degree indicated significant strength.

Given her current weakened state, far from her peak, forming an alliance with this man would greatly increase her odds of surviving.

But Gu Sheng had no intention of agreeing.

She had been one of those under heavy scrutiny earlier. Who knew if pursuers were still after her? Joining forces might just drag him into greater danger.

Gu Sheng was not someone whose judgment clouded at the sight of a woman, even though this woman was undeniably attractive, excelling in both beauty and physique.

"Each to their fate."

Gu Sheng rasped in a low voice before veering off in another direction to continue his dash.

Seeing Gu Sheng utterly unmoved, the white-dressed woman’s eyes filled with frustration. She gazed at his retreating figure and snorted coldly. Under normal circumstances, she would never have suffered such humiliation.

Without pause, she too began descending, feeling her strength recover slightly.

Still, she couldn’t help but curse through gritted teeth:

"Damn Liu Yuanhu, he’s completely insane!"

Gu Sheng raced through the forest, his senses heightened to their peak to fend off sneak attacks and monitor any antics from the woman.

The soaring flames behind him grew increasingly distant, and the mountain foot came into view.

Suddenly.

A thunderous shout erupted from all around.

"Kill!!"

From treetops, behind rocks, and other hidden spots, seven or eight agile figures armed with swords and blades lunged out, charging directly at Gu Sheng.
