Chapter 2031: Rescue
The knife in the woman’s hand ultimately didn’t touch Luo Fenghe’s face; instead, it was suddenly knocked away, spinning and grazing the woman’s cheek, leaving a cut.
The woman screamed miserably, covering her face and shrieking, "My face! My face!"
Initially, Luo Fenghe had her eyes closed, bracing for the pain to land on her face; however, the pain never came. Instead, she heard Han Feifei’s cries of agony.
Luo Fenghe was taken aback for a moment and opened her eyes.
She just happened to see Han Feifei, who was clutching her face and screaming, being kicked to the ground and trampled under someone’s foot.
And the person who was stepping on Han Feifei was Gu Zhiqi.
"Qiqi?" Luo Fenghe was stunned for a good while before finally uttering the name Qiqi.
Gu Huaijin, who was struggling on the ground, also paused upon hearing this and looked toward Gu Zhiqi, "Little girl?"
Gu Zhiqi didn’t say a word. After kicking Han Feifei aside, she first untied Luo Fenghe’s body and then released her sealed cultivation level.
Next, Gu Zhiqi freed Gu Huaijin’s body and unsealed his cultivation level.
"I’ll explain later, protect yourself."
Gu Zhiqi said, pulling out a stack of talisman papers and handing them to Gu Huaijin, "If you encounter someone you can’t handle, just throw this at them."
Without giving Gu Huaijin time to react, Gu Zhiqi hurried away.
Holding onto the stack of talisman papers, Gu Huaijin stood there in a daze for a few seconds, then walked over to Luo Fenghe, "How are you, are you alright?"
Luo Fenghe shook her head, "I’m fine."
**
After rescuing Gu Huaijin and Luo Fenghe, Gu Zhiqi saw Su Yunling already in battle with the Seventh-order Ancient Martial Artist.
Due to using the teleportation formation earlier, Su Yunling’s internal injuries hadn’t healed, and his vital energy was somewhat dispersed. As a result, his cultivation level had dropped to Sixth Order, making it clearly challenging to face that Seventh-order Ancient Martial Artist.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi immediately flew forward to confront the Seventh-order Ancient Martial Artist, "You handle that Fifth-order Ancient Martial Artist."
Gu Huaijin, being a Fifth-order Ancient Martial Artist, should have no problem dealing with other ancient martial artists alongside Su Yunling.
Knowing Gu Zhiqi was an Eighth Order Ancient Martial Artist, the Seventh-order Ancient Martial Artist couldn’t harm her, so Su Yunling didn’t delay any further. After leaving the person to Gu Zhiqi, he went straight to search for that Fifth-order Ancient Martial Artist.
Upon reaching the Fifth-order Martial Artist, he just caught sight of him fighting alongside Gu Huaijin.
Both were Fifth-order Ancient Martial Artists, and if Su Yunling hadn’t seen Gu Huaijin from afar once before, he might have struggled to distinguish between friend and foe.
Gu Huaijin was currently battling that ancient martial artist, and upon sensing another ancient martial artist approaching, he immediately diverted his attention to take a glance.
Upon discovering he couldn’t discern Su Yunling’s cultivation level, Gu Huaijin’s heart tightened.
However, he recognized Su Yunling.
Su Yunling was the renowned Gu Huaijin, and there was even a fan of Su Yunling in his family, making it difficult for Gu Huaijin not to recognize him.
He hadn’t expected that, as a celebrity, Su Yunling was also an ancient martial artist.
At this moment, if not for the vital energy dispersing around Su Yunling, Gu Huaijin really couldn’t tell that Su Yunling was an ancient martial artist.
Yet, he still didn’t know whether he was foe or friend.
Although Gu Huaijin was inclined to believe the other was likely a friend, he still kept an eye on Su Yunling’s side.
When Su Yunling attacked the Fifth-order Ancient Martial Artist, Gu Huaijin confirmed that Su Yunling was indeed an ally.
Despite Gu Huaijin having injuries, he could still manage to defeat that Fifth-order Ancient Martial Artist.
With Su Yunling, the Sixth Order Ancient Martial Artist, joining the fray, victory was assured.
