Gu Sheng’s gaze turned cold. Although he had always been someone who acted low-key and with caution, it didn’t mean he wouldn’t fight back when bullied.
If the enemy was too powerful, then naturally, revenge could wait ten years.
But if he had the confidence to retaliate and still chose to swallow his anger, how would that be any different from being a turtle?
This was not how Gu Sheng conducted himself.
The woman in the white dress could have fled separately, relying on her own skills, yet she deliberately used petty tricks to disgust Gu Sheng. Naturally, he wouldn’t tolerate such behavior.
"If you were at your peak, I might have hesitated, but now..."
Gu Sheng let out a cold snort in his heart. With his current strength, dealing with someone at the early stage of the Blood Refining Realm was not a problem, let alone the fact that this woman in white was injured and far from being in peak condition.
He lightly touched the large bow slung across his back as well as two special arrows crafted for specific purposes. These were his trump cards, ensuring he could remain undefeated from a distance.
Various thoughts churned in Gu Sheng’s mind as he moved at full speed, wasting no time. Earlier, when the white-dressed woman had fled, he had closely observed her escape route. Now, in just about ten breaths of time, Gu Sheng was confident he could catch up.
The air carried faint traces of blood, which suggested her injuries might be worse than Gu Sheng had initially imagined.
"Makes sense. After all, this woman was a fat sheep specifically targeted by Liu Yuanhu’s subordinates. Even if Liu Yuanhu did not personally intervene, her escape must have come at a steep price."
He even suspected that this woman made a desperate decision, sacrificing other escorts to draw away the pursuers’ attention, allowing herself a chance to flee.
Otherwise, under such ruthless encirclement, Gu Sheng didn’t believe someone at the Blood Refining Realm’s early stage could escape.
Following faint clues, Gu Sheng continued his pursuit, activating the Snake Breath Skill to suppress his aura and blood fluctuations to their lowest levels, concealing himself as much as possible.
He intended to trail her gradually, waiting for her condition to worsen over time.
Such injuries were not something that could heal in a short period; she would need to rest and recuperate to recover.
Gu Sheng planned to strike like a venomous serpent from the jungle, delivering a fatal blow when she let her guard down the most.
This was the safest and most foolproof approach.
...
Under the night sky.
Lu Yue ran swiftly, her white dress fluttering like a celestial maiden moving beneath the moonlight. Coupled with the bloodstains on her left shoulder, her figure carried a hint of fragile, melancholy beauty.
