Chapter 127 Cold
Gu Feng's sharp eyes noticed the mysterious series of footprints on the ground. His heart tightened, and he reacted instantly. With a flick of his wrist, he crossed his legs like a ghost, and with a flying kick, he launched a powerful kick straight forward. However, surprisingly, despite his fierce movements, he saw no one in sight, as if he were fiercely battling an invisible cat.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately understood—Gu Feng was engaging in combat with the elusive Sha Wuhen! For a moment, the atmosphere grew tense. Everyone was wary of taking it lightly, unleashing their full power. In an instant, a riot of color flashed and intertwined, illuminating the entire space.
Accompanied by a powerful surge of rhythmic energy, everyone leaped down from the second floor without hesitation, ready to join the fierce battle. At this moment, Gu Yue, who had been observing the situation, suddenly made a move. With lightning speed, he reached out and accurately grasped Shopkeeper Pan's neck, lifting him high into the air.
Gu Yue roared at the crowd with a ferocious expression, "Hold still! If anyone dares take another step forward, I'll snap their neck!" Meanwhile, Sha Wuhen's situation was not optimistic. Due to his previous overuse of rhyme power, his body, which hadn't yet fully recovered, was now exhausted and covered in wounds. Gu Feng's previous attack had only exacerbated the situation, landing a heavy kick on his body and further exacerbating his injuries.
"How strange! With his skills, this shouldn't be all he's capable of!" After repelling Sha Wuhen once again, Gu Feng stared at his weakened form, a trace of doubt rising in his heart. However, Gu Feng didn't dwell on it, simply saying coldly, "I'll say this one last time. If you obediently hand over the secret of the treasure, I'll spare his life. Humph, keeping your promises is one of the few remaining virtues of your Bu Sect."
At this moment, Shopkeeper Pan, who was standing by, was already extremely anxious, with tears streaming down her face. She looked at the wounded Sha Wuhen with longing eyes, her heart aching.
However, facing this life-or-death situation, Sha Wuhen remained remarkably calm, not even responding to Gu Feng's words. He simply turned his head silently, staring at Shopkeeper Pan, and slowly spoke, "Do you remember the agreement we made?" His voice was soft, but every word weighed like a thousand pounds, piercing Shopkeeper Pan's heart.
The moment she heard this, a flash of lightning flashed through Pan's mind, and memories of the past came flooding back. She couldn't help but recall the words Sha Wuhen had said to her before he left.
"Next time I'm in danger, I'll be leaving it to you!" My younger self shouted from afar as he watched Sha Wuhen leaving. And Sha Wuhen replied in that calm voice, "I won't save you again!" Thinking about it now, those words are still echoing in my ears, but the situation before me is so critical.
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Pan's body seemed to lose its support, and his originally held body instantly went limp. He collapsed to the ground, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away at that moment. At the same time, a strange sound came from his mouth, a sound that sounded like crying, but not crying, but not laughing, but not laughing, which made people feel creepy.
Qiu Hen, standing aside, watched all this with an expressionless face. His tone remained calm, "The secret of the treasure can only be entrusted to these children. As for that girl... it has nothing to do with me, Sha." Although his words were brief, each one was like a sharp dagger, piercing everyone's heart. Especially at the end, he paused slightly, this brief pause leaving room for endless reverie, but no one present could truly understand the deep meaning behind his pause.
"See, this guy is such a heartless cat, Sha Wuhen, I hate you so much." As he said this, Shopkeeper Pan started to cry. His crying became louder and louder, and tears kept flowing from his eyes.
