The pursuers came from all directions.
From the moment Gu Xu's whereabouts were exposed, all practitioners in the fifth realm and above of the Sanqin Land received an emergency summons, requiring them to put down everything they were doing and follow the instructions of the court to capture the fugitives.
Gu Xu had escaped from pursuit many times before, which made Princess Zhaoning no longer dare to have a contemptuous attitude towards him.
In her eyes, Gu Xu was like a slippery loach. Although he is not strong, he can always find a gap in the airtight fishing net to get out.
He could even find a fierce female ghost to be his bodyguard.
So this time she not only mobilized the power of a province, but also invited two powerful saints.
If such a battle were seen by an uninformed person, they might think that the northwest barbarians had invaded in large numbers.
"Gu Xu, I will never let you run away again this time."
Princess Zhaoning stood on the floating flying boat and looked down at the earth, thinking so in her heart.
…………
The ice crane carried Gu Xu and Xue Nu and flew quickly among the clouds.
The practitioners from the Da Qi court have been chasing after him from all directions.
Some of them recited incantations, some manipulated flying swords, some used hidden weapons, and some threw talismans.
Dazzling rays of true energy flashed past Gu Xu's side, like violent wind and rain, lightning and thunder.
For Gu Xu, dealing with such a large-scale attack is not an easy task. A slight mistake could lead to death.
But today he is not fighting alone.
As the snow girl gently raised her arm, the wind roared and the temperature dropped suddenly within a radius of several miles, and then heavy snow fell.
The flying swords, talismans, hidden weapons, and even the true energy of the pursuers were instantly frozen into ice, losing their lethality, and then shattered and merged into the flying snow.
At this time, the snow girl, with her black hair flying and her skirts fluttering, scanned all living beings with indifferent eyes, like a king who wanted to seize life and death in the land of ice and snow.
However, Gu Xu noticed that the spells used by Xue Nu were mainly for self-protection and did not kill the pursuers.
When her rationality is not suppressed by instinct, killing is still a very psychological barrier for her.
Otherwise, if she uses all her strength, all these practitioners will be frozen into ice.
At the same time, despite having a powerful bodyguard like Xue Nu by his side, Gu Xu still did not dare to let down his guard at all.
He knew that the practitioners of the fifth and sixth realms around him were just appetizers.
The killing move prepared by the imperial court for him must still be hidden behind him.
"They're coming."
At this time, the snow girl suddenly said in a cold tone.
Gu Xu looked in the direction of her gaze.
Behind the hazy clouds and mist, a floating flying boat with golden light was revealed - like a huge ancient ferocious beast, sticking its head out after many years of slumber.
Gu Xu's lips pursed into a line.
With a thought in his mind, the astrolabe and the Jinghong Pen appeared in his hands. Hundreds of talismans in "Xianyunju" also appeared around him instantly, like the halo of a planet, building a more complex and sophisticated array.
The energy contained in each talisman may not be much.
But the stacking of such an astonishing number of talismans is enough to cause mountains to collapse and tall buildings to overturn. Monks of higher realms have to retreat after seeing them.
In this life-threatening battle, Gu Xu had almost given all his strength.
In the blink of an eye, the attack of the saints has arrived.
Gu Xu suddenly found that his movements had become sluggish, as if he was suffering from an illness, and it was difficult for him to exert any strength.
The impact on Yuki Ono seems to be even more serious.
Her body began to shake violently.
That face, as cold as withered ice, suddenly frowned and clenched its teeth.
Gu Xu could clearly feel her body temperature changing from cold to hot.
, as if there were two invisible forces fighting fiercely.
"This is the magic curse of Lingshan Temple," he said silently in his mind, "It seems that Master Jueming of Lingshan Temple also helped the court to arrest me this time.
Many of the methods in Lingshan Temple may be of average power to human monks, but they are extremely lethal to ghosts and monsters.
And it is different from the Da Qi Imperial Preceptor who was seriously injured.
Master Jueming, as a long-established saint and strong man, has been practicing in the temple in recent years and is in good condition.
Not only is he proficient in various Buddhist spells, he is also good at close combat.
The Zen staff in his hand had transformed into ghosts and smashed the heads of enemies.
In front of him, although Yuki Onna was powerful, her fighting methods were single and restrained, so she had almost no chance of winning.
[In view of the general environment,
Gu Xu pondered for a moment and whispered: "Miss Lu, can I borrow your power?"
"Lend me your power?" The snow girl was confused for a moment.
However, she soon heard the "God-Inviting Mantra" recited softly by Gu Xu, and she also sensed the request from him in the sea of consciousness.
Without thinking, she nodded.
The young master killed her enemy in Lu's house and helped her get rid of her obsession.
He should also be able to handle the situation here better than her.
So in an instant, the majestic power of Xue Nu's body rushed into Gu Xu's meridians like a flood that broke a bank.
This is the first time that Gu Xu uses the "God-Inviting Curse" to carry the power of a saint-level powerhouse.
The power of the snow girl is like the first melting ice and snow in spring, exuding a biting chill.
The true energy he obtained through practicing the "Red Flame True Art" was originally like hot and pure volcanic lava - but under the impact of the snow girl's power, it turned into a weak candle swaying in the autumn wind, which could happen at any time extinguished.
Gu Xu took a deep breath and tried to adapt to these surging forces.
Perhaps because of the large gap in strength, after lending her power to Gu Xu, Xue Nu was not completely drained of her true energy and lost her fighting ability like Ma Qin and Chu Fengge.
She was still controlling the flying snow in the sky while struggling against Master Jueming's curse.
At the same time, Gu Xu also saw clearly the people standing on the bow of the floating spacecraft.
The Imperial Master of Da Qi is still the same as before, with dark complexion and simple clothes, like an old farmer working in the fields. It's just that he looked weaker than the last time they met.
This was the first time he had seen Master Jueming today, and he looked very much like what he had imagined as an enlightened monk.
His eyes quickly swept across the two saints, and finally settled on Princess Zhaoning standing in the middle.
——To be precise, it’s on the jade seal in the princess’s hand.
He vaguely felt that a line of sight passed through the jade seal and fell on him. It was sharp, majestic, and indifferent, like a god above the nine heavens overlooking all living beings, which made him feel even more stressed.
The astrolabe in his hand seemed to have noticed this line of sight.
It suddenly began to tremble violently, became hot and shimmering.
It seems to express emotions of anger and hatred.
