Chapter 299 - 297: Retreat After Success
Gu Masters are the most troublesome people in this world. Once you provoke one, unless you kill them in one fell swoop, you will live in crisis at every moment. Even when drinking water or eating, you must be fully alert. A moment’s carelessness may result in being afflicted by a Gu, a fate worse than death.
Especially those Gu Masters who refine Gu using living humans have surely dark hearts, hold grudges, and every Gu worm has a special connection with its master. If a Gu worm dies, the Gu Master will certainly know and will definitely seek revenge on the killer.
In this regard, Lu Tianxing had no doubt. How much magnanimity can you expect from a Gu Master who refines Gu with living people?
However, Lu Tianxing didn’t worry about the Gu Master coming after him; his real concern was that the Gu Master would trouble Xue Man. Strictly speaking, Xue Man could be considered an Ancient Martial Artist, but she was far too weak. To put it bluntly, Xue Man would be utterly defenseless against this Gu Master, like meat on a cutting board. This was Lu Tianxing’s true worry.
As they say, when saving someone, see it through to the end. Since he took on Xue Man’s mess and she was his friend, he couldn’t just sit back and ignore it. Having no way to locate the Gu Master, he could only lie in wait for them to show up and then eliminate the threat once and for all.
Moreover, there’s a saying that trouble should not involve family members. Such vindictive people, once they make a move, will annihilate entire families, leaving no one behind. The best strategy is to strike them down with lightning speed as soon as they appear.
In this regard, Lu Tianxing was utterly confident. As long as the Gu Master showed up, he was completely sure he could deal with him.
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Man’s pretty face tensed up, her fingers intertwined tightly, and her eyes frantically scanned her surroundings. "Lu Tianxing, are you saying there’s still danger?"
Her world had been black and white for the past week, she had been like a soulless person. Just as the crisis seemed over and the world was brightening, Lu Tianxing spoke these words. How could she not be scared? She was determined not to return to the soul-crushing, bleak existence she had lived before.
