Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Ambushed in the Woods 3

With a command, several black-clad assailants moved, each channeling their Vital Energy to strike at Gu Xiyue.

An intense aura enveloped Gu Xiyue in an instant, her eyes glinting coldly as she engaged in combat with the black-clad assailants.

Among the assailants, the leader was a fourth-order peak ancient martial artist, while the others were either at the Fourth-order Middle Stage or the Fourth-order Primary Stage. With several people attacking Gu Xiyue at once, she found it somewhat difficult to fend them off.

Initially, Gu Xiyue managed to hold her own, but gradually she started to struggle.

Gu Zhiqi stood lazily to one side, leaning against something as she watched, and Chubby Chiu spoke up in her mind, "Zhizhi, aren’t you really going to help the protagonist?"

Drama-watching Zhizhi: "What’s the rush? This fight is quite exciting."

She said this while plucking a few leaves and began to play with them in her palm, evidently bored.

Chubby Chiu: Fine then.

The opponents were numerous, but their strength was uneven, and soon Gu Xiyue had taken down two Fourth-order Primary Stage ancient martial artists.

Of course, Gu Xiyue herself had sustained several colorful wounds.

Seeing this, the remaining black-clad assailants increased the ferocity of their attacks, yet Gu Xiyue’s expression remained unchanged as she continued to entangle with them.

After about ten minutes of fighting, they had almost trampled the grass bare, and the fight was still not over. But it was apparent that Gu Xiyue was running out of steam.

Both parties had channeled their Vital Energy, but as it was finite, it would eventually deplete.

With several opponents utilizing a rotating attack strategy, they were constantly depleting Gu Xiyue’s Vital Energy, which was nearly exhausted, while the fourth-order peak ancient martial artist from the opposing side still had a substantial amount left.

When they noticed that Gu Xiyue’s Vital Energy was finally running low, the leading fourth-order peak ancient martial artist made a move, quickly causing her to be at a disadvantage.

Even at a disadvantage, Gu Xiyue’s expression remained calm, though the aura around her body became more volatile and her moves grew more fierce.

Soon, Gu Xiyue’s Vital Energy was depleted.

The leading black-clad assailant sneered when he noticed that Gu Xiyue’s Vital Energy had run out, his eyes showing cruelty as he gathered his Vital Energy and harshly thrust a palm towards Gu Xiyue.

If that palm strike landed on Gu Xiyue, she would be gravely injured if not killed.

Gu Xiyue was out of Vital Energy to defend herself from that palm strike, and as it rushed toward her, she sidestepped it.

But dodging was futile; the ball of Vital Energy seemed to chase after Gu Xiyue, relentlessly pursuing her, making it impossible to escape.

Gu Xiyue wove through the trees, dodging the sphere of Vital Energy, and finally drew it into a tree where it collided.

That way, not only was Gu Xiyue’s Vital Energy exhausted, but she also had very little physical strength left.

Standing in place and panting for a while, she realized that the black-clad assailants did not pursue her.

Thinking that Gu Zhiqi was still there, she guessed that they must have been restrained by her.

With that thought, Gu Xiyue began to walk back.

Only when she returned to the scene of the fight did she find that all the black-clad assailants were lying on the ground, with Gu Zhiqi squatting beside one, asking questions.

The face of the assailant had been beaten to a pulp, unrecognizable, with a ring of white powder around his mouth, looking utterly abject.

Gu Xiyue looked at the scene before her with mixed emotions.

Ever since she had known about Gu Zhiqi disposing of Jiang Qi, the ancient martial artist, Gu Xiyue had surmised that Gu Zhiqi’s Cultivation Level must not be low.

Now, it seemed her level was even higher than Gu Xiyue had thought.

Gu Xiyue herself was at the peak of the fourth-order and had been made so ragged by them, but in just a short time, Gu Zhiqi had already laid them all out.

This disparity in strength was no small matter.
