Chapter 804 - 426: The Fire Attack Plan

"I didn’t expect you, I couldn’t figure you out, a mere servant of the Ji family would do such a despicable thing!"

Gu Sheng retorted coldly.

"Hehe..."

Upon hearing the words, Ji Ren couldn’t help but laugh.

"Young man, you don’t understand, this is called the ways of the world."

"What do you mean?"

Gu Sheng was somewhat puzzled.

At the same time, he secretly muttered in his heart, "Could it be because of the Removal Stone? If it’s about this matter, it’s likely Ji Ziyue will also be punished, so I must figure it out."

Seeing Ji Ren remain silent, Gu Sheng continued to question, "Steward, since you seem confident that you can kill me, why not tell me why, so that I can die with a clear understanding, don’t you think?"

"Haha..."

Ji Ren laughed again, "Fine, it doesn’t hurt to tell you."

After speaking, Ji Ren clasped his hands together and made a bow toward the Ji family miles away, "This is the will of Ji Hui Ancestor."

"Damn old woman!"

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth, his expression icy.

"The Ancestor said, although you’re not skilled in the Great Void Skill, it’s still magic of the Ji family. This magic cannot be passed outside, except for the Ji family members. Anyone else who knows it must die!"

A flicker of anger appeared on Gu Sheng’s face, he didn’t expect the old woman of the Ji family to be so unreasonable.

"Whew..."

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible,

"Ji Ren, listen carefully, the reason I know the Great Void Skill is not because I took the initiative to learn it, but because Ziyue taught it to me. If I had known earlier, I would never have touched it."

Gu Sheng’s tone carried a hint of disdain.

After all, when he initially learned the Great Void Skill, it was for survival.

How could he worry about so much then?

If he had truly known that it would lead to resentment from the Ji family, he would never have learned it.

"Haha..."

A mocking smile appeared on Ji Ren’s face.

After the smile, his face suddenly turned grim, and he coldly said, "Gu Sheng, do you think saying this can avoid responsibility? The Ancestor’s order is absolute, since you learned it, you must die. As for other matters, you can explain them to King Yan."

After speaking, Ji Ren said no more, his figure suddenly moved, rushing fiercely toward Gu Sheng.

Compared to before, his speed was now incredibly fast, almost arriving in front of Gu Sheng in the blink of an eye.

Gu Sheng’s pupils shrunk sharply, quickly retreating to avoid the attack.

"Out!"

Gu Sheng shouted violently, and the Divine Power within him surged wildly.

At this moment, it was as if a powerful force was driving him from within.

Soon, Gu Sheng mobilized the Mystic Yellow Qi within him.

In that instant, his body was enveloped by intense golden light.

Ji Ren was stunned again at the sight.

Although he was a servant of the Ji family, he had seen this kind of light before.

But seeing it emanate from Gu Sheng left him puzzled.

"Swish!"

Gu Sheng’s hands suddenly pushed forward.

The Mystic Yellow Qi like a barrier blocked in front of him.

Ji Ren’s momentum was suppressed by this power, unable to advance an inch.

Immediately, Gu Sheng rotated his hands, causing the Mystic Yellow Qi to form a powerful rebound force, returning Ji Ren’s attack untouched.

"What!"

Ji Ren’s face changed dramatically.

He didn’t expect Gu Sheng to not only withstand his attack but also repel it.

Next, he wanted to withdraw his power to avoid being counterattacked.

Ideal as it was, reality was harsh.

When Ji Ren had this idea, it was already too late.

"Boom!"

Two forces suddenly rushed toward Ji Ren.

He had nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape.

He could only brace himself and take them straight on.

As a servant of the Ji family, he couldn’t even emit a force that could identify him.

Thus, the two forces targeted him.

"Ah!"

Ji Ren was struck by this force and the Mystic Yellow Qi, his body flying backward like a broken kite.

He made a perfect parabolic arc in midair before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Ji Ren coughed miserably, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Gu Sheng in shock, full of disbelief.

"You... you possess Mystic Yellow Qi? Impossible! Unbelievable!"

Gu Sheng looked at him coldly, without answering.

To Gu Sheng, Ji Ren knew too much.

If he let him live and return, the Ji family would definitely find out about Ji Ziyue gifting him the Removal Stone and that he possessed Mystic Yellow Qi.

By then, both he and Ji Ziyue would be in grave danger.

At that moment, determination flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

Ji Ren must die!

To prevent future troubles!

"Whoosh!"

Gu Sheng’s figure moved like a ghost, suddenly appearing before Ji Ren.

"Ji Ren, you know too much!"

With that said, Gu Sheng swiftly swung his hand, a blade formed of Mystic Yellow Qi slashed through the air, aimed directly at Ji Ren’s throat.

"Psst!"

A gleam flashed at Ji Ren’s throat.

Fear filled Ji Ren’s eyes, only feeling a sharp pain.

By the time he reacted, the blade of Mystic Yellow Qi had penetrated his throat.

Ji Ren’s body shuddered violently, then fell heavily to the ground.

"In the next life, be a good person!"

Gu Sheng said coldly.

"Whew..."

Finishing, Gu Sheng breathed out slowly.

Then Gu Sheng took out the Removal Stone, ready to erase all traces to prevent others from finding out.

And just at that moment, a stream of black vapor suddenly floated out from Ji Ren’s body.

Gu Sheng was stunned.

"What’s this thing? Corpse Qi?"

Gu Sheng stared, ready to attack.

The black vapor hovered in the air, gradually taking the form of a person.
