"Pfft—" A soft sound echoed as the Mystical Sky Sword pierced through his chest. His eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Gu Sheng as though he couldn't comprehend how this mere mortal boy possessed such power.
Gu Sheng did not linger. He knew his location had been exposed and he must leave this place immediately. His figure flashed and vanished into the dense bamboo grove.
His escape was far from over. More disciples from the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven were alarmed and began chasing towards his direction. Relying on the incredible prowess of the Gale Nine Swords and Carefree Ascension Step, Gu Sheng maneuvered nimbly through the bamboo forest, evading his pursuers.
"Swish, swish—" Several strands of Sword Qi shot toward him, but Gu Sheng dodged them deftly. His movements were like the wind, appearing sometimes at the treetops, sometimes hidden in the underbrush, leaving his pursuers helpless.
