Chapter 624: Chapter 114 Bloody Battle

Gu Xiaoxi had always known Nascent Soul was powerful, but she never imagined he would be this formidable.

She was nowhere near as fast as him, not even one-tenth.

If it weren’t for her innate sensitivity and exceptionally quick reflexes, coupled with her extraordinary dagger, she wouldn’t have been able to withstand a single move from him.

The battle now was extremely difficult for her.

Yet, she persisted.

To give Ya time to save Young Master Quan.

In dealing with Gu Xiaoxi, Nascent Soul was not as he was with Quan Shaoqing.

A fair duel was only for those of equal ability with grievances between them.

He just wanted to finish her off quickly.

On this side, Jing Rui and Yun Xiao saw that Gu Xiaoxi was struggling greatly in the fight.

A dozen people raised their weapons and immediately joined the battle.

Suddenly, bullets danced around Gu Xiaoxi.

Nascent Soul, forced by the sudden attack, had to retreat.

Jing Rui, Yun Xiao, and others quickly stepped forward, seeing Gu Xiaoxi covered in blood, they all voiced their concerns, "Xiao Xi, are you alright?"

"I’m fine!" Gu Xiaoxi dared not be the slightest bit negligent at this moment. "Everyone be careful, Nascent Soul is very strong!"

However, before Gu Xiaoxi had finished speaking, one of Jing Rui’s team members was stabbed through the heart.

The man didn’t even have the chance to draw his last breath before he died.

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes widened in shock, and without thinking, she flew into the air.

She called out to Jing Rui behind her, "Everyone, retreat quickly!"

In front of Nascent Soul, she could barely cope.

But for Jing Rui and the others, it was nothing short of a massacre.

They couldn’t help her at all and would be killed instead.

But it was clearly too late for Gu Xiaoxi’s words.

The moment her voice fell, Danmai was stabbed through the heart with a sword.

And Nascent Soul’s sword was once again thrusting toward Jing Haoran, who was closest to him.

Jing Haoran’s face was stricken with panic, his eyes immediately tinged with red, as he tried to use his spiritual power to control Nascent Soul.

But to no avail.

His ability, in front of Nascent Soul, was like clay figurines thrown into the sea, instantly disappearing without a trace.

Just as Nascent Soul was about to strike him down,

Gu Xiaoxi, wielding her sword, rushed forward swiftly, her sword’s tip aiming straight for Nascent Soul’s neck.

Nascent Soul immediately abandoned Jing Haoran and retreated swiftly, easily dodging Gu Xiaoxi’s attack.

But his speed was so fast, even though he evaded Gu Xiaoxi’s strike,

when he turned back, Gu Xiaoxi was caught off guard, wounded in the shoulder by his sword.

Nascent Soul was too quick, and as Gu Xiaoxi winced in pain and attempted a counterattack with her sword, Nascent Soul had already moved far from her.

Gu Xiaoxi, clutching her shoulder, immediately crouched down.

Even though her face turned deathly pale with pain, there was no time to tend to that.

"Everyone retreat quickly!" Gu Xiaoxi’s only thought was for everyone to get as far away from there as possible. To prevent any more innocent casualties.

Jing Rui and Yun Xiao, supporting her, voiced their worries and hesitation, "Xiao Xi, we’re here. We have nowhere to retreat to. If we abandon you, where could we possibly escape to? If we’re to die, let’s die together."

Moreover, now that Gu Xiaoxi was injured, they were even less capable of combating Nascent Soul.

If they ran away immediately, she would only die faster.

"...!" Gu Xiaoxi didn’t know what to say and looked up at Young Master Quan. Ya was saving him!

The situation was extremely unfavorable for them.

Escape was not realistic, for this place was Nascent Soul’s territory.

Even if they wanted to flee, they needed a place to escape to.

And fighting was not an option either, as the discrepancy in power was far too great.

They were like lambs to be slaughtered.

"Xiao Xi, you must heal quickly. If we fight together, there must be a way!" Yun Xiao stood up without a second thought.

As Nascent Soul charged at them again, she immediately used her Ice ability.

Countless Ice Needles formed and danced swiftly in the air, assaulting Nascent Soul.

Just as the Ice Needles were about to hit Nascent Soul, with a wave of his hand,

a surge of vigor sent all the Ice Needles flying back.

All the Ice Needles returned the same way they had come, striking Yun Xiao herself.

Before Gu Xiaoxi could move to save Yun Xiao,

she was already standing rigid, blood spilling from the corners of her mouth as she fell.

"Yun Xiao!"

"Yun Xiao!"

Jing Haoran and Gu Xiaoxi were both horrified, rushing forward to catch her slowly falling body.

At that moment, Yun Xiao’s face was deathly pale, her body full of bloody holes!

Her Ice Needles had not harmed Nascent Soul at all but had instead left her grievously injured.

"Yun Xiao, hold on just a bit longer!" Gu Xiaoxi hastily released her Spiritual Energy to save her.

Meanwhile, Nascent Soul launched another attack on Gu Xiaoxi, and Jing Rui stepped forward to block.

Before she could take out her weapon, Nascent Soul stabbed her through the throat with a sword.

All of this happened in an instant.

Gu Xiaoxi was still treating Yun Xiao!

Before Jing Haoran could even react.

When Jing Haoran snapped back to reality and saw with his own eyes Jing Rui’s neck bleeding like a fountain, her body slowly collapsing to the ground.

"Aunt Jing!" Jing Haoran rushed forward, supporting Jing Rui, and placed his hand over her neck. "Xiao Xi, come quickly and look at Aunt Jing!"

Upon hearing Jing Haoran’s scream, Gu Xiaoxi immediately turned to look.

When she saw Jing Rui’s wound, her heart felt suffocated with discomfort.

She let go of Yun Xiao and rushed to press her hand against Jing Rui’s neck, then tried her best to channel Spiritual Energy into her, attempting to save her.

However, Jing Rui looked at her, constantly coughing up blood from her mouth.

In just a moment, that gaze had already dimmed.

"Don’t die!" Gu Xiaoxi bit her lip, her eyes suddenly stinging and swelling with tears, blurring her vision.

Jing Rui really wanted to tell Gu Xiaoxi to take good care of herself.

But all the words were stuck in her chest.

Her trachea had been cut, and she had lost the ability to speak long ago. She could only look at her with a piteous gaze.

The only regret she had in this life was that she couldn’t see her daughter one last time.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi, it was as if she could see her daughter’s cheeks through that young face.

She wanted to reach out and touch her face, but in the end, it was difficult for her even to look at her one more time. She completely lost consciousness.

"Aunt Jing!" Gu Xiaoxi bit her lip as Jing Rui’s fresh blood had already dyed her clothes red.

At this point, she couldn’t even distinguish who was who anymore.

Those who were still alive all felt a sense of unease in their hearts.

Once Jing Rui’s subordinates saw their leader was dead,

Without thinking, they turned and fled.

But Nascent Soul didn’t give them any chance; as long as they were alone,

He cut them down like a god of death, all of them.

And killing Jing Rui’s subordinates was a matter of just a few seconds of swordplay.

Tang Yisheng and Che Junqing were directly scared stiff.

Even though they had experienced many life-and-death battles,

Every time with Gu Xiaoxi present, no matter how strong the enemy, they could cope.

But this time, Gu Xiaoxi was not a match for the enemy.

And they, like fools, were mercilessly slaughtered.

Fight and die, don’t fight and still die!

Watching as Nascent Soul once again raised his sword, targeting Gu Xiaoxi,

Che Junqing and Tang Yisheng didn’t hesitate at all; one used fire, the other summoned Thunder and Lightning.

Together they attacked Nascent Soul.

But to their dismay, their Special Abilities were just child’s play in his eyes.

With a wave of Nascent Soul’s hand, the Magic Wand immediately appeared.

A clap of thunder sounded over their heads, and the next second, Che Junqing and Tang Yisheng were struck by lightning, their bodies charred black.

They were struck so hard that they fell to the ground rigidly, emitting a burnt smell in the air.

Gu Xiaoxi tried her best to save Jing Rui, but in the end, she still did not wake up.

And in the half-minute she spent trying to save her, nearly all the people around her had died.

Jing Haoran had already been crying his eyes out, looking at the dead Jing Rui. Then he looked at Yun Xiao, Tang Yisheng, Che Junqing, and some new members lying beside him.

They were all dead!

So fast!

It was just a matter of a few breaths, and they had all been killed.

Showing how merciless Nascent Soul was!

He gave no one any chance to catch their breath.

Gu Xiaoxi knelt on the ground, her neck rigid like that of a robot, stiffly looking around.

Blood flowed like a river!

In front of the magnificent palace, there was a terrible stench of blood everywhere.

Even though the sun was shining brightly overhead, she felt as if she was soaked in ice-cold water.

These were all her comrades.

They had been through life and death together.

She had promised everyone they would live and die together.

What happened now?

Everyone was dead, leaving her alone.

Then she looked toward Quan Shaoqing in the distance, Ya was trying his best to heal him.

Could he wake up?

Gu Xiaoxi clasped her chest, feeling a bone-deep pain spread to her entire body.

Jing Haoran stood up dumbly, his eyes already bloodshot.

Aunt Jing was dead; his comrades were also dead.

He had no way to escape, and he didn’t plan to run away.

"Gu Xiaoxi, you and Ya take Young Master Quan and leave quickly. I’ll hold him off." Jing Haoran said, intending to rush towards Nascent Soul who was not far away, brandishing a Longsword.

He was going for revenge.

Without thinking, Gu Xiaoxi released Jing Rui and grabbed Jing Haoran’s arm, pushing him far away.

"Run! Hide in the crowd, go as far as you can. Don’t come back." Gu Xiaoxi clenched the dagger tightly, her teeth chattering with the sound of clashing.

Without a second thought, she charged toward Nascent Soul.

Her fingers, from grasping the sword too tightly, were bleeding ceaselessly, the blood soaking into the Longsword in her hand.

The Longsword emitted a dazzling light.
