There was a crisp sound of bones breaking, followed by a shrill scream.

The man took more than ten steps back and almost fell to the ground. The hand that he had stretched out earlier had been forcefully broken, and it was twisted nearly 90 degrees. Just looking at it was enough to make people gasp.

However, it was not Qing Zhu who had attacked, but someone else.

Gu Xi looked up and saw a slender hand stretching out from behind Qing Zhu. The hand retracted, and a figure walked out from behind Qing Zhu.

A magnetic voice sounded. “Flirting with a woman in broad daylight. How dare you. You deserve to die.”

The person who came was a mysterious man. His appearance could not be considered handsome, but his well-defined facial features gave him a masculine aura. His expression was cold, and there was a faint murderous aura in his words.

Gu Xi raised his eyebrows, and a glint of interest flashed across his eyes.

The man’s entire body was emitting a faint murderous aura. Even if he did not do anything, he was intimidating. Even if he tried his best to cover up these things, he still could not escape Gu Xi’s sharp senses.

“And you.” The man’s eyes moved slightly and his gaze landed on Gu Xi. He continued in a cold voice, “My companion is in danger. As a man, you are actually indifferent and do nothing. You deserve to be killed.”

As the man’s voice fell, he extended his slender hand towards Gu Xi and made a grabbing gesture from afar.

In the next moment, a wave of fiery red spiritual energy surged out from his body. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of Gu Xi and wrapped around his neck.

In the next moment, the man’s illusory hand exerted some strength and the fiery red spiritual power began to tighten rapidly, as if it was going to take Gu Xi’s head away.

Seeing the man attack Gu Xi, Little Nine frowned and was about to kill the man on the spot, but was stopped by Gu Xi with a wave of his hand.

“Your Excellency is really bloodthirsty.” Gu Xi smiled slightly and did not make any move. The fiery red spiritual power around his neck began to dissipate at a faster speed than before.

The man narrowed his eyes, and his expression became more serious.

“You’re quite capable,” the man said coldly, and the spiritual energy in his body started to circulate rapidly.

“You f*cking dare to touch me?! Do you know who I am?!”

Just as the man was about to continue attacking Gu Xi, Liu Wu’s hysterical voice was heard, “I’m the eldest disciple of the Mysterious Sky Sect!”

As soon as these words were said, the surrounding crowd could not help but exclaim in surprise.

“He is actually a disciple of the Mysterious Sky Sect!”

“Tsk tsk, so he is the eldest disciple of the Mysterious Sky Sect. No wonder he dares to be so arrogant.”

“It is said that the Mysterious Sky Sect has always taken revenge for the smallest grievance. Today, these people broke Liu Wu’s hand. I’m afraid this matter will be a little difficult to handle.”

Many people pointed and pointed at Liu Wu and Gu Xi’s side.

The man turned his head to look. His somewhat numb gaze just happened to intersect with Liu Wu’s furious gaze. Immediately, the latter could not help but shiver.

However, due to the fact that he was in front of so many people, Liu Wu did not show any fear. Instead, he waved his big hand to call for his brothers to surround the man who had attacked.

“You dare to hit me? If I don’t chop off one of your arms today, I will bury my head in shame!” Liu Wu gritted his teeth. He wished that he could tear the man in front of him into pieces.

Even with six or seven burly men with fierce faces surrounding him, the man did not show any signs of panic. Instead, he slightly bowed his body, as if he was a ferocious beast ready to hunt.

“Kill him!” Liu Wu curled his lips in disdain when he saw the man’s actions.

“Yes, Big Brother!”

After receiving Liu Wu’s order, they responded in unison. Then, they took out shiny daggers from their storage bags and slowly walked toward the man in the middle with a ruthless expression.

“Kid, you actually dare to attack our Mysterious Sky Sect’s Brother Liu. You’re really blind. Remember to watch who you’re attacking in your next life!”

“That’s right. Even a hero who saves a damsel in distress needs to weigh his own strength!”

The two big men laughed coldly in unison.

On the other side, Gu Xi and the other two had been watching the battle that was about to erupt. They had no intention of helping at all.

“Should we finish them all off?” Little Nine suddenly spoke. A trace of undetectable scarlet flashed in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

Little Nine still held a deep grudge toward the man’s previous act of killing Gu Xi. If Gu Xi was not here, she would definitely use lightning-fast methods to completely make him disappear from this world.

“At least he saved Qing Zhu once. There’s no need to repay kindness with enmity.”

Gu Xi smiled and shook his head. On the surface, he did not reveal any emotions, but in his heart, he had already developed a dense killing intent toward the man.

Naturally, he had to deal with that man himself.

He knew that the man was most likely here to participate in the Grand Sect Competition. The competition was about to start, and killing people in public at this juncture would inevitably attract trouble. He might even lose the right to participate in the competition because of this, he did not want to take this risk.

“I didn’t ask him to save me,” Qing Zhu said indifferently in response to Gu Xi’s words, but did not express her agreement. “If it were me, his life would have been lost long ago.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi smiled helplessly and did not continue.

At the same time, the battle on the other side was already on the verge of breaking out.

Six strong men brandished their shining daggers as they charged toward the man. The man held his large hand in the air, and a short dagger appeared as well. Then, with a tap of the tip of his toes, his entire body flashed as he dashed forward to meet the burly men.

Ding ding ding–

A series of metal colliding sounds rang out.

“Ahhhhhh–”

A series of incomparably miserable howls followed closely behind.

Fresh blood spilled out and dyed the ground red. It even sprayed toward the surrounding onlookers. Many people moved away to dodge the blood. There were even some who built a spiritual energy barrier in front of them so that they were not drenched in fresh blood.

In just a few breaths’ time, the battle was over.

Numerous gazes gathered towards the middle and saw that the man was still standing in the same spot unscathed. Compared to before, the only difference was that his clothes were drenched with fresh blood. However, his face was filled with excitement and vigor.

On the other hand, all six of his opponents were already on the ground. The man dealt with all of them in an extremely decisive and ruthless manner.

“This… is impossible…”
