Munin successfully passed through Baizhai Mountain and was less than ten miles away from the Luo River. The time limit for him to act was about to end.
At that moment, a figure rushed out from the fork in the road and almost collided with Munin.
The two stopped at the same time and looked at each other from a distance of seventy to eighty feet.
"It's you!" Munin exclaimed in surprise.
The person who suddenly rushed out was Gu Youjing, but he was in a sorry state.
Munin did not need to think to know that he was being chased by Wu Chizhang and the others.
Gu Youjing confirmed it again and again before fear flashed in his eyes. He turned around and continued running south.
Munin urged his horse to chase after him.
Gu Youjing was known as the Poisonous Flying Eagle, and it was not an undeserved reputation. He used his Qinggong to run, and his speed was slightly faster than a fine steed.
The distance between them, which was only seventy to eighty feet, gradually widened.
When they were thirty feet apart, Gu Youjing reached the Luo River. There were no boats nearby, so there was no way out.
… …
At the same time, on the Blood Flag Tournament Stage opposite the river, the six escort agencies were competing to divide the escort business.
The pale-faced Wu Kuang stood on the Blood Flag Tournament Stage and said arrogantly, "Who else is not convinced? Step out, or else you will have to listen to my master's orders."
"Wu Kuang, you really are not afraid of death. You still dare to jump out at this time." Zhu Zhen and his father led the Black Flag Escort Agency's men and came over aggressively.
"Isn't this that guy? The poison in your body has been cured. You really are capable. You still dare to come and try my poison technique? "Wu Kuang saw that it was Zhu Zhe, who had been defeated by him, and immediately retorted.
Zhu Zhe was not to be outdone. "You speak as if I was the only one who was poisoned that day. It's better than some people who ran away in fear because of the backlash from their own poison technique."
"Was that your doing? You and your father are cowards. Where have you been hiding these days? You don't even dare to show your face! Speaking of which, you should thank my master. That Zhen brat was scared by my master's name and ran away in the middle of the night. Otherwise, you and your father would have been buried long ago. How could you still be standing here talking nonsense with me? "Wu Kuang narrowed his eyes in disdain.
Zhu Zhe was enraged. He looked determined and said to the young man in blue beside him, "Senior Martial Brother Bao, please. As long as you get rid of Wu Kuang, the spot to enter the Body Tempering Pool three years later will be yours. “
"Junior Brother, you're a straightforward person. I didn't save you in vain." The blue-clothed young man's figure moved, and he flew onto the Blood Flag Platform in a suave manner.
"Who are you?" Wu Kuang's expression changed drastically. The aura that the blue-clothed youth was emitting was clearly that of a genuine First Rated Warrior.
"White Sun Sect's Bao Zhuozhong!" The blue-clothed youth stood with his hands behind his back and said proudly.
Wu Kuang's expression flickered as he pondered for a moment before saying, "Your Excellency is of noble birth, so there is no need for you to interfere in this matter. My master is Gu Youjing, the Poisonous Palm Flying Eagle. Do you know him? “
"Cut the crap. If he came personally, I would have considered it. As for you, get lost. "Bao Zhuozhong was very disdainful. He was not from the Luo River, so he did not know much about Gu Youjing. He had recently become a First Rated Warrior and was in high spirits. As an inner disciple of the White Sun Sect, he did not care about anyone else.
"You … Don't look down on the world!" Wu Kuang suppressed his anger.
"You can still stand on this wooden platform for three breaths before you say that," Bao Zhuozhong suddenly said.
"Don't look down on others …" Wu Kuang was secretly vigilant, but he did not admit defeat.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Bao Zhuozhong suddenly stomped his foot, and the Blood Flag Platform, which was made of long planks, stirred up a wave of planks.
Wu Kuang was directly sent flying and fell into the rapidly flowing Luo River.
When the people from the seven escort agencies saw this, they were shocked and looked at Bao Zhuozhong in awe.
This level of unfathomable strength was not something an ordinary First Rated Warrior could achieve. The once unreachable Tang Lishan was probably nothing in front of Bao Zhuozhong.
Wu Kuang was a good swimmer and quickly surfaced from the water. However, his injuries were not light. Just as he was about to escape, he saw Gu Youjing, who was dressed in a black robe, leaping across the river like an eagle.
"Master … I'm here." Wu Kuang struggled on the water and shouted to Gu Youjing.
The others also noticed Gu Youjing and were stunned. There was actually someone in the world who could use Qinggong to cross the Luo River on the rapidly flowing water.
This was even more shocking than Bao Zhuozhong.
Gu Youjing finally landed on the Blood Flag Platform, but his breathing was very chaotic. He immediately asked Wu Kuang anxiously, "Did you collect any poison? Give it to me quickly!"
"Yes." Wu Kuang did not hesitate. He took out a sealed bamboo tube and threw it to Gu Youjing.
Gu Youjing received the bamboo tube and immediately crushed it. Three blood-red spiders the size of a fingernail were revealed, but they quickly shriveled in his palm. He was actually using poison to quickly recover his inner energy.
"Qinggong and poison are both so powerful. The Poisonous Eagle Paw is indeed worthy of its reputation. Earlier on, it was a misunderstanding with your disciple. I sincerely apologize." Bao Zhuozhong was shocked by Gu Youjing's methods. He was extremely afraid and quickly apologized.
Gu Youjing turned a deaf ear to him and said sternly to Wu Kuang who was still struggling in the river, "Useless trash, why are there so few poison?"
"Master, there were more than these poison. However, when I was knocked into the water, the other five bamboo tubes were washed away." Wu Kuang was extremely afraid and quickly pushed everything to Bao Zhuozhong.
Gu Youjing's fierce eyes turned and stared at Bao Zhuozhong. He suddenly struck out with his palm. A strong wind swept past and hit Bao Zhuozhong who was 20 feet away.
Bao Zhuozhong could not avoid it. He quickly used both hands to block the strong force of Gu Youjing's single palm. Both of them were 20 feet apart and their palms met across the air.
However, the stalemate only lasted for a breath. Bao Zhuozhong's expression changed drastically and he roared in shock and anger, "You scum of the martial arts world, how dare you use poison to absorb my inner energy?" “
Gu Youjing ignored Bao Zhuozhong. He turned back to look at Munin who had already chased him to the riverside. His expression became even more frightened.
After a few days of continuous escape, his inner energy was severely depleted. He had used up all the poison in his body. Just now, he had used up most of his remaining inner energy to cross the river. If he continued to escape, only death would await him.
Now, forcefully absorbing Bao Zhuozhong's inner energy was the last resort.
Gu Youjing turned back and distracted Bao Zhuozhong. Bao Zhuozhong quickly seized this rare opportunity and successfully escaped from Gu Youjing's control at the cost of his internal injuries.
However, he looked extremely miserable as he flew backward and landed on the riverside. He took seven steps back before he could stabilize himself. He could not help but spit out a big mouthful of blood.
The people from the Seven Great Escort Agency had limited knowledge and could not see the inside story. In their eyes, Bao Zhuozhong, who came from the White Sun Sect, could not even withstand Gu Youjing's Air Splitting Palm. He was easily knocked off the Blood Flag Platform and vomited blood.
Everyone was in awe of Gu Youjing. Someone immediately shouted, "Senior Gu's martial arts are outstanding. Our Tie Hai Escort Agency admires you. From today onwards, we will follow your lead without hesitation."
After the first person expressed his allegiance, the others scrambled to follow suit. Some even knelt down to greet him as a disciple.
In the end, only Zhu Zhe and his son were left standing there awkwardly.
Gu Youjing turned a deaf ear to this situation. He said to Munin who had just jumped off the horse, "Zhen, in terms of martial arts, I am not as good as you. However, in terms of Qing Gong, you are still lacking. Not everyone can cross the river by stepping on water. By the time you come over, I will already be far away. Don't waste your energy."
