418 The Devil Within (2/2)

Yun Qingluo, who was level six and a half in her spiritual power, would be held down under his strength, let alone Gu Xijiu who had just acquired level five.

Gu Xijiu had obviously felt the pressure of the enormous strength from her opponent. Her blood boiled with anger. However, she held her body straight and did not show any sign of being threatened. Her movements were smooth as she was a cloud floating in flowing water. Long Siye’s eyes darkened at the sight of her swift movements.

”Xijiu, you’re always so stubborn. If you’re willing to take your death graciously, I’ll preserve your entire body.”

Gu Xijiu was a steady person in maintaining her composure. However, her blood was raging so much at that moment that she could no longer contain herself. Her hand trembled, and in her slightest distraction, the sword in her hand was disarmed entirely and flew towards the sky.

”Xijiu, remember, don't reincarnate to your next life. Let your soul evaporate like a mist.” Long Siye's sword was swift as if a venomous snake moving towards Gu Xijiu's neck.

Once she was hit, she would be beheaded. She would no longer exist in this world.

Gu Xijiu wanted to keep away from the strike, but it was too late. Her heart was suddenly filled with so much sorrow – she was killed in his hand in both her previous and current life.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a flute coming from an unknown source. Long Siye was stunned a little at the sound of it. His strike was slightly off target, and Gu Xijiu successfully evaded it. She lunged backward to create some distance away from him.

Her heart was beating so vigorously now – unsure if it was from her narrow escape from death or other possible reasons. She turned towards the sound of the flute and saw the figure of a man slowly drifting in.

His purple robe fluttered lightly along with his movement. His strands of hair floated gently in the wind. His eyes were as dark as the autumn rivers, and his lips were dull cherry red. He moved in an amazingly graceful manner – Di Fuyi was here.

Upon arrival, he quickly hid Gu Xijiu behind his back and told her, ”Sweetheart, you must be tired, let me handle this!”
