Chapter 954 - Reuniting with Gu Yu
Liu Wuxie darted forward toward the group.
To his surprise, Gu Yu's speed was astonishing. It had been a few years since they had last met, and Gu Yu was now at the higher levels of the Spirit Profound Realm.
Three men gave chase, rapidly closing in with weapons drawn.
"Brat, you have nowhere to run now. Hand that scepter over!"
The Dragon Clan Scepter in Gu Yu's grasp pulsed with a powerful dragon aura; no doubt it had drawn the trio to him.
One of the men stood at the pinnacle of the Spirit Profound Realm and blocked Gu Yu's path. Gu Yu had no choice but to halt and raise his scepter, ready to attack.
"Back you go!" the man roared, cleaving down with his longsword.
The strike sent Gu Yu flying ten meters away, flailing like a rag doll. The gap between their cultivation levels was too large. Gu Yu was only at the seventh-level Spirit Profound Realm, and his opponent was two levels above him.
Given Gu Yu's talent, facing someone at the eighth-level Spirit Profound Realm was his limit; he stood no chance against someone at the ninth. Worse still, he was already wounded, bleeding from his right arm from the earlier clashes with the three pursuers.
The other two charged in, blades slashing at Gu Yu's unguarded back. If they hit, he wouldn't survive unscathed.
At that instant, a comet-like streak tore through the air. Liu Wuxie landed beside Gu Yu and slashed down with the Heretic Blade, targeting the necks of the two men behind Gu Yu.
