Chapter 304: Gu He Appears!
Chapter 304: Gu He Appears!
As the rainbow python, exuding a terrifying aura, surged forward, the golden energy conjured by Xiao Jin was almost instantly swallowed up. Subsequently, the rainbow python, with undiminished power, charged towards Xiao Jin and Liu Ling.
"Damn, this is too fierce!"
"Master, please come quickly! Your disciple's life is in danger!"
Just as Liu Ling crushed the jade talisman, he witnessed the rainbow python swallowing up the golden energy. Fear surged within him.
Facing the ferocious assault of the rainbow python, Xiao Jin once again pulled Liu Ling back as they retreated.
At this moment, the space where Xiao Jin and Liu Ling were located suddenly underwent violent distortion. An overwhelming aura instantly permeated from the distorted space.
Under this overwhelming aura, the rainbow python, which possessed powerful energy and was charging forward, suddenly stagnated in mid-air. Then, it abruptly burst open. However, under the suppression of an invisible force, this burst did not spread out. Even the sound was not emitted, and it completely dissipated in the air. Afterward, Queen Medusa's pretty face suddenly turned pale.
At this moment, even in the Snake People's camp several tens of li away from this sky, countless Snake People felt a palpitation upon sensing this aura.
Xiao Jin and Liu Ling, who had been fleeing at full speed, immediately stopped in their tracks, turning around to stare blankly at the source of the overwhelming aura.
Under the gaze of Xiao Jin, Liu Ling, and Queen Medusa, a white phantom suddenly stepped out of the distorted space.
"Master! I knew you would come to save me!"
Seeing the familiar white figure ahead, Liu Ling exclaimed excitedly.
"Master, Xiao Jin misses you so much!"
At the same time, Xiao Jin's young face was filled with joy as he called out, pulling Liu Ling with him as they quickly approached the white figure.
"The cultivation of this person is at an unfathomable level. He actually possesses such a terrifying pressure. Perhaps, even that person from my memory wouldn't be his match." Looking at the suddenly appearing white figure, Queen Medusa's first thought was to compare him with the unforgettable masked figure in her mind.
However, when she heard the words from Xiao Jin and Liu Ling, her heart was instantly filled with fear.
"Such a terrifying master actually turns out to be the teacher of that boy. Then, the heavy hand I just laid on his disciple..."
With this thought, Queen Medusa's graceful figure instantly transformed into a colorful stream of light and fled towards the distant sky.
...
"It turns out that Liu Ling summoned me. Judging from the momentum of the rainbow python, it seems that Queen Medusa just attacked Liu Ling!"
Quickly surveying everything around him, the projected image of Gu He had a rough understanding of the situation. At this moment, seeing Queen Medusa's figure fleeing into the distance, he slowly reached out his palm and gently clenched it in the direction where Queen Medusa was fleeing.
Suddenly, the space around Queen Medusa, who was fleeing as a streak of light, violently fluctuated. Then, the intangible space seemed to solidify, turning into a spatial prison that enveloped Queen Medusa within.
"Oh no, this person actually sealed off all the space around me!"
Sensing the solidified space around her, Queen Medusa conjured another burst of rainbow energy towards the spatial barrier. However, as she violently thrashed about, not only did the surrounding spatial barrier show no signs of damage, but it also began to shrink, reducing Queen Medusa's range of movement.
Realizing this outcome, Queen Medusa felt a sense of powerlessness rising in her heart. Before long, she was completely immobilized by the spatial force.
...
"Master, I'm glad you're here. Otherwise, your disciple would have fallen into the hands of Queen Medusa!"
Approaching Gu He, Liu Ling's demeanor as the leader of the mercenary group was nowhere to be seen. At this moment, he wore a look of grievance, his voice tinged with a hint of crying.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine now that I'm here." Seeing Liu Ling's woeful appearance, Gu He spoke to reassure him.
After saying this, Gu He noticed Liu Ling's progress in cultivation and felt somewhat pleased. He sighed softly, "It seems that during this time, you have put in a lot of effort into your cultivation."
Knowing that Gu He had already seen his progress, Liu Ling produced a golden pill from his hand, looking somewhat proud as he said, "Master, your disciple has advanced to become a fifth-grade alchemist, and now I am also the leader of the Stone Desert City's first mercenary group!"
A fifth-grade alchemist already!
Hearing Liu Ling's words, Gu He felt immensely relieved. All three tasks he assigned to Liu Ling had been completed ahead of schedule.
Originally, Gu He intended to reward him for such outstanding performance, but this time, he had only projected himself here and couldn't transfer techniques nor had any items to give as rewards. Therefore, he could only compensate Liu Ling with rewards when they met again in the future.
With this in mind, Gu He patted Liu Ling's increasingly sturdy shoulder and said frankly, "Liu Ling, your master has only projected himself here this time and cannot stay for too long. Since your training tasks have been completed, return to the sect as soon as possible. I have prepared many rewards for you."
Hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling hesitated for a moment. He hesitated, stuttering, "Master... Your disciple wants... to stay a little longer... But don't worry, I will definitely return before my junior sisters come back."
Before experiencing this training, Liu Ling would have been overjoyed to hear Gu He offer him a reward. However, now he seemed completely different.
Even Liu Ling himself felt somewhat strange. Although he had been thinking every day about completing the tasks and returning to the sect as soon as possible, now that the tasks were completed, he felt somewhat reluctant to leave this place.
"Oh, if you want to stay a little longer, then follow your heart," Gu He could feel that Liu Ling's temperament had undergone many changes after this training.
"Thank you, Master!" Hearing Gu He agree to let him stay a little longer, Liu Ling was very happy.
Turning his attention to Xiao Jin after chatting with Liu Ling for a while, Gu He reached out and gently patted the little one's head, smiling softly. "Little guy, you've lost a lot of freedom during this time while secretly protecting Liu Ling. You've worked hard!"
Hearing Gu He's words to Xiao Jin, Liu Ling's expression suddenly became strange.
