Chapter 1231 - 1229: Peach Mountain Ghost Suppression
The butcher master in the room moved, and Gu Xi followed suit.
The situation in front of them is clear, they must not get involved.
Right now, the Black Market directly alerts continuously, and all attention in the Black Market has turned to this side.
Striking now would be the most foolish choice.
If they strike, it would actually help Li Quanyong escape punishment.
It wouldn’t be clear who struck first then.
So Gu Xi immediately retreated and gave Li Gu a look, signaling him to retreat as well.
Li Gu is also quite a quick responder; although he couldn’t see anything within five meters, beyond five meters, he took note of every move.
Even if a mosquito flew by, he could distinguish if it was male or female.
Gu Xi turned his head, and Li Gu understood Gu Xi’s intention.
So he immediately flashed away and raised his bow and arrow, ready to attack at the slightest sign.
Seeing Li Gu like this, Gu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The good thing about making friends with smart people is this.
At least, they won’t drag you down.
Although Li Gu isn’t a friend right now, they agreed to handle the dungeon matters together.
In this way, they’re temporary allies.
Li Gu’s actions are already enough for Gu Xi.
As Gu Xi and Li Gu retreated, the windows and doors of the room suddenly opened, and a group of black-robed men rushed in.
They wielded shields of various sizes and upon rushing in, they released Holy Light and Holy Flames randomly around.
Evidently, they also knew the nature of their enemy.
As an Undead Mage, Gu Xi glanced at the Holy Light and Holy Flames, showing a helpless expression.
Who said the Undead fear Holy Light?
Coming in and immediately releasing such strong Holy Light, they mustn’t worry about being blinded.
Gu Xi muttered in his mind, taking another step back, meanwhile closing his eyes slightly, observing his surroundings through the technique of Spirit Lamp, without looking at the Holy Light himself.
Gu Xi could do this, but Li Gu was not as fortunate.
Half of his ability relies on his eyes, and the Holy Light immediately blinded him.
At this moment, he could only turn towards the wall, avoiding the flashing Holy Light.
And at this point, Gu Xi suddenly realized something was amiss.
Among the black-robed men rushing in, someone seemed intent on rescuing Li Quanyong.
"What are you trying to do?"
Gu Xi immediately dashed to the side of the black-robed man being attacked, shouting at those trying to rescue Li Quanyong while helping the black-robed man up.
𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Unlike Gu Xi, this black-robed man belonged to the Black Market, and he was well aware of the chaos and factional struggles within.
With Gu Xi’s shout, he realized it was his opponent coming to rescue Li Quanyong.
But now is not the time to let Li Quanyong escape.
If Li Quanyong escapes, his efforts would be in vain.
Later, Li Quanyong attacking could be seen as a battle between buyers, unrelated to the Black Market.
The black-robed man had done similar things himself.
Then, his reputation would be lost.
So the black-robed man immediately lifted his mask, "I am Ma Su, Level B customer service of the Black Market, my attack alert was triggered by an unprovoked attack by the Undead Mage Li Quanyong.
Anyone seeing the signal may kill Li Quanyong at their discretion."
As Ma Su spoke, he raised the Token in his hand.
With Ma Su’s words, a red arrow appeared above Li Quanyong’s head.
Gu Xi immediately recognized this as a real attack signal.
The red arrow marking meant anyone in the Black Market could attack Li Quanyong.
At this bewildered moment, Li Quanyong finally realized why attacking just an Undead Mage had caused so much trouble.
He had attacked the wrong person.
Li Quanyong quickly said, "Wait, this is a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding."
But it was too late, Gu Xi and Li Gu simultaneously struck.
Li Gu fired an arrow in Li Quanyong’s direction.
This time, unlike the arrow that pinned the black-robed man Ma Su to the wall, it was truly lethal.
This arrow flew straight towards Li Quanyong’s face.
Li Quanyong’s level should be around Level 15.
But he was just an ordinary Undead Mage, long since stunted in further progress.
That’s why he had come to a city unsuitable for Undead Mage to eke out a living.
Li Gu, however, was on the verge of becoming a Level 20 Divine Shooter, putting his full force into the strike.
One arrow pinned Li Quanyong’s head to the ground.
And at this moment, Gu Xi twisted his hand.
"Peach Mountain, suppress for me!"
A small Peach Mountain appeared in Gu Xi’s hand immediately.
This Peach Mountain looked like a small peach wood ornament.
But it was the result of Gu Xi’s efforts over the past three months.
Since establishing Poisonous Peach Mountain, Gu Xi had sincerely researched the effects of Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain.
He discovered that Peach Mountain could be enlarged or shrunk at will, with the power remaining the same.
Currently, Gu Xi shrank Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain to fit in his palm.
As soon as Li Quanyong was pinned to the ground, he hurled it out.
Li Quanyong reached Level 15, already formally becoming a Witch Demon, and while his head was shot through, he could immediately manifest his soul and return to his Life Box.
Retrieving the body could revive him; failing to retrieve it would leave him in Witch Demon state.
But Gu Xi, hurling the Peach Mountain, seized this opportunity.
When Peach Mountain soared, everyone saw a Deep Blue soul pressed into the ground.
Clearly, the soul couldn’t escape Peach Mountain’s influence.
Gu Xi currently didn’t want to keep the soul for himself.
Despite this player being Level 15.
This person had done things that deeply provoked Gu Xi.
He had planned to roast Gu Xi’s soul over flames for a hundred years.
How could Gu Xi take such a person as a subordinate, risking damage to his team?
Thus, Gu Xi had only one course of action, after suppressing Li Quanyong’s soul with Peach Mountain, he immediately launched the Flame Domain, burning the soul beneath Peach Mountain.
As he burned, Gu Xi spoke.
"Didn’t you say you’d extract my soul and roast it over flames for a hundred years?
Now, no hundred-year roasting, I’m not capable of that, nor retaining your soul.
So now, just die."
Li Quanyong truly died unfairly.
Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain prevented his soul from returning to the Life Box.
Flame Domain burned the small Peach Mountain, along with his soul.
Without a soul, what use is a Life Box?
That was a wasted effort.
Simultaneously, his Undead Corps didn’t appear, reducing this once boasting Undead Mage to oblivion in an instant.
