C244 (1/2)

In terms of strength, Gu Lie was stronger than Yan Yun by half a point, but in real combat, it was still unknown who would win.

But in terms of craftiness, even ten Gu Lie combined couldn't compare to one Yan Yun.

With Yan Yun's intelligence, his grasp of people's minds was not bad. He had calculated that Gu Lie would not turn back, which was why he purposely reminded him.

There was only one reason he could do this, which was to attract all of Gu Lie's attention to himself and prevent him from detecting any movement from behind.

Fortunately, Yan Yun had succeeded. Behind him, a thick and sturdy tree silently fell towards Gu Lie, and following the tree, countless arrows from all around shot towards Gu Lie.

Everything seemed to have a chain reaction. But Gu Lie was still a Middle Spirit Level after all, so this level of expert's spiritual sense was extremely sharp. He would be able to detect the sound of a tree breaking through the air with just a slight sound, let alone hear the movements of a tree.

Gu Lie cursed the brat for being crafty, he did not expect that there would be a problem behind him, and without hesitation, he prepared to dodge.

However, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He suddenly realized that if he tried to dodge, he would immediately reveal an opening, giving Yan Yun an opportunity.

This was the real assassination plot!

Yan Yun did not plan to let those trees and rough thorns kill Gu Lie. He wanted those things to expose his weak spot and let Gu Lie have a chance to kill him.

The spirit energy around Yan Yun's body had never been concentrated before. The devil soul was trembling lightly, the power accumulating within him was complete. As long as Gu Lie revealed the slightest bit of a flaw, he would be able to instantly attack him without being able to cover his ears.

Furthermore, with the power of this strike, even if Gu Lie didn't die, he would definitely suffer an unimaginable injury.

Gu Lie was also aware of the situation, so even though trees were falling towards him and thorns were flying towards him, he did not dare to move an inch, and could only become a living target.

”Lama, quickly hide! If you don't dodge now, it will be too late! ” Yan Yun revealed an anxious and concerned expression, but no matter how he looked at it, he would still get beaten up.

Gu Lie was so angry! He wanted to swallow Yan Yun alive. If not for you threatening him with a blade, how could I not dodge? I'm not a fool.

Gu Lie, who had always been calm and composed, found it hard to calm down after meeting Yan Yun.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

First, countless of wooden thorns flew towards Gu Lie's body. The sharp wooden thorns directly pierced through Gu Lie's clothes and nailed his body, causing blood to flow out.

These wooden thorns were only made on a temporary basis by Yan Yun, and there was not enough time left for them to correct themselves. Although Gu Lie had seemed to have sustained heavy injuries, most of them were only superficial, and merely looked to be in a sorry state.

However, things weren't over yet. After the wooden spike was the fallen ancient tree.

The thick and solid Ancient Wood then smashed down, smashing onto Gu Lie's back. However, this power, was not enough to smash Gu Lie down, which showed just how strong he was.

However, the wooden thorns that had stabbed into his back borrowed the power of the ancient trees to dig into his back and stab into it.

This seemed very cruel, even Yan Yun could not bear to see this.

”That... ”Lama, are you alright?” Yan Yun asked carefully, but he was still walking towards Gu Lie.

Could he be fine? Not being smashed to death by trees, not being nailed to death by thorns, and almost being angered to death by you …

Gu Lie really wanted to curse and kill Yan Yun to vent his anger. However, in the blink of an eye, he flipped the ancient wood over and forced the wooden spike out. Then, without even turning his head, he ran behind him.

The power of the thorns and the ancient trees had already caused his body to no longer be nimble. His strength had been greatly damaged and he was no longer Yan Yun's match.

Within the oasis's forest, the two once again started a chase, only this time, it was Yan Yun who chased after them. Gu Lie was the one who escaped.

After changing roles, the outcome was completely different. Yan Yun activated his extreme speed, and got closer and closer to Gu Lie.

Gu Lie was shocked and angry at the same time. Yan Yun's speed had been completely displayed, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not shake off the opponent. On the contrary, the opponent was quickly approaching.

At this moment, Gu Lie finally realised that the reason why he chased after him to kill him earlier was exactly because of him.

How can there be such a cunning bastard in this world? In his shock and anger, Gu Lie had realized a serious problem. The threat the King Wanshang posed to the eight sects was far from being comparable to the Yan Yun who was chasing after him from behind.

Although the King Wanshang was terrifying, with his character, he would only fight openly. As for the brat behind him, although his strength was currently weaker than the King Wanshang's, his potential was terrifying, and he was too cunning.
