The man with the black mask lowered his head and looked down. “There are people below.”
Gu Qingluan followed his gaze.
A cloaked figure darted out from a concealed corner and attacked them.
Gu Qingluan immediately threw a fireball at the assailant.
The flames burned at an extremely high temperature, distorting the air as they appeared.
The man realized something was wrong, but it was already too late.
The flames touched him, igniting quickly.
He let out a wail and fell from the air.
Gu Qingluan looked up at the man with the black mask, her expression suddenly changing. “Are you injured?”
Half of his face outside the mask was as pale as paper, and under the light of the cold moon, he appeared even more haggard.
Without waiting for his response, she scanned with her divine sense and saw a hidden weapon embedded in his back.
With his strength, even if he were injured, he shouldn’t have been successfully ambushed unless…
Gu Qingluan thought of a certain possibility in her mind, and her pupils couldn’t help but shrink.
That inexplicable familiarity surged up again.
Having delayed for a moment, the cloaked figures were getting closer.
Gu Qingluan immediately refocused. “You’re quite formidable, able to attract so many experts to besiege you alone. Your name will surely become famous.”
The man with the black mask remained silent.
Gu Qingluan didn’t expect him to answer her.
At this moment, she had to devote her full attention to dealing with these cloaked figures.
They were all experts, not just random individuals.
Carrying what felt like a burden, her speed was slower than theirs.
The distance between the two sides was getting smaller.
Gu Qingluan furrowed her brows.
She had gone to great lengths to save someone, and now she couldn’t just abandon him.
She said to the man beside her, “When I call for you, don’t resist.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Just obey, and answer when I ask.”
“Okay.”
With a thought, Gu Qingluan brought him into the Stellar Space.
Free from the burden, Gu Qingluan landed on a rooftop and smiled coldly at the approaching enemies.
She held up the Heavenly Heart Qin, her slender jade-like fingers lightly dancing on the silver strings, and a melodious tune suddenly filled the air.
Sometimes, the music echoed like a furious tempest, brimming with anger, while at other moments, it cascaded like a gentle mountain stream, calm and soothing.
There were times it resembled the mighty crash of ocean waves, inspiring awe. At other times, it mimicked a gentle breeze, flowing continuously with a melodious rhythm.
And occasionally, it evoked the thunderous charge of a thousand troops and horses, filled with spirited vigor!
The breathtaking music transformed into a terrifying weapon, slashing towards the enemies.
The cloaked figures were horrified and retreated.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the music reached its climax, it was like thunder striking the earth, causing dust to rise.
Gu Qingluan was quickly shrouded in smoke and dust, her chaotic arcane energy fluctuations blocking the probing of divine senses.
And at this moment!
She put away the Heavenly Heart Qin and swiftly entered the Stellar Space.
After a moment, the smoke and dust dispersed.
The cloaked figures found that Gu Qingluan had disappeared without a trace.
They rushed to the spot where she had just been, scanning with their divine senses, not leaving any corner unchecked, but still couldn’t detect her presence.
“She must have concealed herself using a special method! 1 don’t believe they can keep hiding forever!”
Several of them didn’t leave and stayed in place.
In the Stellar Space, Gu Qingluan watched for a while and saw that they couldn’t discover the existence of the Stellar Space. She stopped paying attention to them.
“Mistress, mistress! This man is dying!”
Hearing Heaven Star’s call, Gu Qingluan appeared next to the man with the black mask.
His complexion was even worse than before, with almost no movement in his chest.
She quickly grabbed his wrist and placed her fingertip on his pulse.
She had never seen such a chaotic pulse!
Sometimes, it resembled boiling water, with an extremely faint pulse that seemed to hover just beneath the skin, lacking a clear rhythm. At other times, it raced rapidly, one beat following another in rapid succession, too swift to tally. And then there were moments when it resembled a leaking roof, the pulse slow and feeble, with long intervals between beats, and then…
It was as if all seven types of life-threatening pulses had converged into one person.
And the Seven Ultimate Veins were seven types of pulses that would usually be considered a death sentence when occurring in a single individual..
