When Lin Chusheng saw this, he wanted to retreat without hesitation, but Mu Lie grabbed him.
And heard him say in a deep voice: "Junior brother Qing, don't be afraid. I'm here, why do you need to run away?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jiuqiu, who was charging forward, swayed, his speed suddenly increased, and he almost turned into an afterimage, appearing in front of Mu Lie in an instant, with the short blade in his hand pointed directly at the vital point!
Mu Lie was startled and had to let go of Lin Chusheng. As he turned his hand, a big knife appeared, using its length to overcome its shortness, and slashed diagonally towards Gu Jiuqiu.
This blow seemed to be unexpected, but Gu Jiuqiu was prepared for it, dodged sideways, and then kicked Mu Lie in the chest.
Mu Lie raised his hand to block, and the huge force caused him to retreat. However, he just retreated to Lin Chusheng who wanted to continue running away. The long knife in his hand crossed and blocked him.
"Junior Brother Qing, I told you, don't run away!"
Lin Chusheng stopped again and turned around to look, only to see that Mu Lie no longer had the kind smile on his face before, only a gloomy look on his face. The words he spoke were like an order.
"Idiot, don't you understand?"
"I'm afraid he has already made an appointment with Chen Fa to take you on this mission to meet up somewhere in Tianyuan!"
At this time, Gu Jiuqiu's cold voice suddenly sounded.
Lin Chusheng was suddenly enlightened. No wonder he felt that Mu Lie was looking at him strangely, like the human trafficker he was back then!
The other party may have figured out his identity a long time ago, and he was planning to sell him out this time!
After his thoughts were revealed, Mu Lie stopped pretending, looked at Gu Jiuqiu again, and sneered.
"Then why are you here? Could it be that you are this boy's lover and want to save him?"
"Or... you were also involved in Lu Yao's death, and you were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you went out of your way to stop her?"
"Are you... Gu Jiuqiu?"
At this point, Mu Lie's eyes turned ferocious, he shook the long knife in his hand, and then said: "I admit that your talent in alchemy is outstanding, and I am not as good as it, but in the world of cultivation, what matters is strength!"
"You and I are both at the eighth level of the Condensing Aperture Realm. I want to see how you can stop me!"
Gu Jiuqiu didn't argue with Mu Lie. He just hummed, "That's a lot of nonsense" and raised his hand to pick up the magic formula.
Then the short blade in her hand buzzed, and she flew away in an instant, flying in an arc towards Mu Lie.
At the same time, she also moved and rushed towards Mu Lie.
Mu Lie reacted quickly and immediately turned around, preparing to use the long knife in his hand to deflect the flying short blade.
In fact, he is far from as relaxed as he seems on the surface. From the brief confrontation with Gu Jiuqiu before, it can be seen that the other party is not easy.
Although both of them were at the eighth level of the Condensing Aperture Realm, Mu Lie understood that Gu Jiuqiu's cultivation level was a bit higher than his, so he was extra cautious when dealing with it.
However, when all his attention was focused on Gu Jiuqiu, he did not notice that Lin Chusheng's eyes under the gray robe had changed.
At the moment when Mu Lie turned his back, Lin Chusheng actually moved as well. He punched Mu Lie in an instant and hit Mu Lie's back vest!
Mu Lie never expected that Lin Chusheng would take action at this time, and the force would be even stronger than expected!
Even though his body was at the eighth level of the Condensing Aperture Realm, he couldn't resist it. He was punched so hard that blood spurted from his mouth and his body leaned forward.
This resulted in him not having time to block with the long knife, but instead colliding head-on with the flying short blade.
At this moment, not to mention Mu Lie, even Gu Jiuqiu was shocked by Lin Chusheng's sudden move.
But after all, it was a life and death fight. Although Gu Jiuqiu was frightened, he seized the opportunity, exploded with all his strength, and rushed towards Mu Lie at a faster speed.
Seeing that he had no time to raise the knife, Mu Lie could only turn his head to avoid it, but he still couldn't completely avoid it. The short blade flew and made a long gash on his face.
The severe pain made him heartbroken, and the blood splashing on his face blocked his sight. He felt a powerful life and death crisis, and instinctively swung the knife in the direction of Gu Jiuqiu.
But Gu Jiuqiu's footwork was strange and confusing, and he easily dodged the knife and came to Mu Lie.
The short blade that cut Mu Lie's face flew out of the arc again, fell into her hand, and pierced Mu Lie's heart. Killing people was like flowing water!
By the time Gu Jiuqiu pulled out the short blade, Mu Lie had already fallen straight to the ground and turned into a corpse.
Then, she turned her eyes and looked at Lin Chusheng.
Lin Chusheng watched the entire process of Gu Jiuqiu's killing, and could even feel the cold look in his eyes under the hood of the other person's gray robe.
But this time, he didn't run away again. Instead, he took off his hood, bowed his hands, and said again what he couldn't finish last time.
"Thank you Miss Gu for saving me. Lin Chusheng is grateful for this kindness!"
Gu Jiuqiu waved away the blood on the short blade and said, "Then how are you going to repay me?"
Lin Chusheng pondered for a moment and replied: "As long as it's something I can do, it's fine. Miss Gu just says it's okay."
But Gu Jiuqiu did not continue to say anything. Instead, he put away the short blade, lowered his body and turned over Mu Lie's body, and quickly pulled out a storage bag.
Under the hood, Gu Jiuqiu's cold eyes suddenly became sparkling, thinking in his heart.
"It is said that the people in the alchemy place are very rich. There must be a lot of spiritual stones here, right?"
However, if you want to get the contents of the storage bag, you must first refine the storage bag, and now is obviously not the time.
Suddenly, Gu Jiuqiu felt a gaze. When he turned around, he realized that it was Lin Chusheng who was looking at him eagerly.
She frowned and quickly put away the storage bag, secretly thinking that this was her trophy!
Although Lin Chusheng had contributed a lot, they were not friends and had no reason to share!
Even the long knife in Mu Lie's hand was taken over by Gu Jiuqiu. It was a low-level magic weapon and could be worth some spiritual stones.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Gu Jiuqiu continued to say in a cold voice: "Seriously...anything is okay?"
This time Lin Chusheng did not hesitate and nodded directly: "As long as I can do it, I can do anything!"
Under the hood, Gu Jiuqiu curled his lips. Doesn't this mean that there is nothing you can't do?
But she continued: "What if I asked you to come with me now... to kill someone?"
Lin Chusheng's expression condensed. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still asked: "Who to kill?"
"Chen Fa!"
Sure enough, Gu Jiuqiu revealed the answer in Lin Chusheng's mind.
From what Gu Jiuqiu did, it is not difficult to see that the other party is a person who must retaliate, and if he can eliminate all dangers and future troubles, he will never hold anything back!
This kind of personality is actually somewhat similar to Lin Chusheng.
Those of them who live in the cracks sometimes have to have such a cautious character if they want to survive!
