She unconsciously took a few steps back, swallowed hard, and lost all the confidence she had before.

Fear and unease were written all over her face, but seeing Gu Yi staring intently at her, she couldn't run away.

She knew that there was no way to escape, and there was only one way to save her life!

"What are you going to do, Gu Yi?"

"Don't forget who I am, and think about what will happen to you if you kill me."

“If you kill me, Dad will definitely use the entire clan’s power to kill you, and even Grandpa Bone will be implicated.”

"I know you're very angry right now. I promise I'll never do it again. Please forgive me this last time, okay?"

Ning Rongrong forced a smile that looked more like a grimace as she slowly backed away, pleading for mercy.

This is all she can do now; without the sect, she is nothing.

"Next time? Ha, you want a next time?"

Gu Yi laughed in anger. She had done such a thing to Zhu Zhuqing, yet she still wanted to beg for a chance to live from his hands. How ridiculous!

After speaking, Gu Yi's right hand formed a grasping motion, and his third spirit ring suddenly began to rotate.

The next moment, Ning Rongrong suddenly appeared in front of Gu Yi. Before she could react, a strong right hand locked her neck and continued to exert force.

Gu Yicai didn't want to give her a quick death, as that would be too easy on her. Only in this way could she truly experience the passing of life, and fear would forever shroud her heart until death!

"Cough cough! Gu Yi... let me go!"

"You can't kill me...you can't..."

"If you kill me, none of you will escape!"

Ning Rongrong struggled incessantly, waving her fists and repeatedly striking the arm that Gu Yi was holding her with, trying to use the pain to make Gu Yi let go.

But such minor squabbles were hardly enough to make Gu Yi let go. The more she resisted, the tighter Gu Yi's grip became.

Soon, Ning Rongrong felt short of breath, and speaking became a luxury. Tears streamed down her face as fear took over her mind.

"Gu Yi...please...you..."

Ning Rongrong forced out these words through gritted teeth; this... was her last chance!

"beg me?"

"You are not eligible."

As he spoke, Gu Yi increased the pressure in his hand even more.

Today, he wants Ning Rongrong to learn a lesson through death: doing wrong things comes at a price!

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to lose consciousness, Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward.

She walked slowly to Gu Yi, placed her hand on his right arm, and shook her head.

"Don't kill her, Gu Yi, it's not worth it."

Zhu Zhuqing's disgust for Ning Rongrong had reached its peak at this moment, but Ning Rongrong's words just now made her realize something.

If Gu Yi really killed Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi would definitely seek revenge and send a large number of people to hunt them down.

Zhu Zhuqing did not want to ruin her and Gu Yi's future because of Ning Rongrong.

"There's no question of whether it's worth it or not. Since she dared to attack you, I dare to kill her!"

"So what if it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Let them come, I'll be waiting for them!"

Gu Yi, however, refused to listen to advice and insisted on killing Ning Rongrong no matter what.

With the system around, he's absolutely safe. He can kill his enemies, find his underlings, cultivate for a few years, and then come out again. What's there to be afraid of?

"Have you thought about your grandfather? He doesn't know anything yet; he's still in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"What if they attack your grandfather if you kill Ning Rongrong?"

Seeing that Gu Yi wouldn't listen to her advice, Zhu Zhuqing became a little anxious and reminded him again.

"Hmph! After I'm done killing them, I'll go tell Grandpa and take him with me."

"Anyway, I won't be discovered immediately after killing them, so what am I afraid of?"

As he spoke, Gu Yi increased the pressure in his hand, and Ning Rongrong was already starting to feel oxygen-deprived and her eyes were rolling back.

She felt that death was beckoning to her, that hell was right in front of her, and that her head was about to say goodbye to her body.

But at this crucial moment, Gu Yi's hand suddenly loosened, and he fell backward.

Ning Rongrong also fell to the ground, and the sharp pain in her buttocks brought her back to her senses.

She was panting heavily, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at the figure behind Gu Yi.

"Sigh~ I didn't expect this kid to actually intend to kill me. If he gets hunted down by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School afterward, who will provide me with the antidote?"

It turns out that Dugu Bo intervened just as Ning Rongrong was about to be strangled to death.

He added more poison to Gu Yi's body, causing him to faint instantly.

Although Gu Yi has now fused the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom, the fusion is not complete. He needs to absorb more nutrients over time to achieve a constitution that is immune to all poisons.

"You can leave now. Consider it an apology for killing three of your Lesser Soul Saints. Now we're even."

Dugu Bo waved to Ning Rongrong, looking like he was urging her on.

He and Yanzi are now entirely dependent on Gu Yi. If he wants to kill them, fine, he'll heal them first.

At that time, Gu Yi's life or death will be none of his business; he can do whatever he wants. But right now, he can't afford to get into trouble.

But Ning Rongrong was still stunned, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.

Just now, death was only a hair's breadth away from her, and now suddenly there is hope for survival again. She couldn't react for a moment.

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Zhu Zhuqing quickly walked up to her and, under her gaze, raised her palm.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Zhuqing swung her palm down forcefully, slapping Ning Rongrong hard across the cheek.

This slap left Ning Rongrong, who was already dazed, even more bewildered.

"Consider this slap as revenge for what happened earlier. Get out!"

Zhu Zhuqing's face was gloomy, and she deliberately put on a fierce look, speaking in a menacing tone.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong finally realized what was happening. She covered her cheek, which had already been slapped red, and ran away in a sorry state, not even bothering to retort.

If you don't run now, when will you run?

Ning Rongrong ran very fast, even using her soul skill, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Alright, little girl, I'll be leaving now. The poison I gave him will only make him unconscious for a while; he'll be fine."

"When he wakes up, tell him to come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to find me."

After saying that, Dugu Bo quickly left the 'crime scene'.

Although he had only spent a short time with Gu Yi, he had already figured out some of his temperament. If Gu Yi woke up, he might turn against him.

It's best to leave as soon as possible.

'By the way, kid, where's that bunny-eared girl you mentioned? I can't see her.'

It seemed to be there at first, but then it disappeared.

'Forget it, let that kid handle his own affairs.'

'The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, hmph, I bet there's going to be a good show.'

Chapter 67 Xiao Wu Leaves

"Zhu Qing, how is Gu Yi?"

Just after Dugu Bo left, Xiao Wu's head popped out from the bushes nearby.

She hid when Dugu Bo revealed his spirit rings. If she had been discovered, she would have been dead!

"He's fine, but he'll probably need to rest for a while. Let's wait for him here."

Zhu Zhuqing dragged Gu Yi's body to the foot of the giant tree and rested his head on her lap.

"Hmm, this is just the outer edge of Sunset Forest, so there shouldn't be any soul beasts bothering us."

"Let's just wait here for him to wake up."

As she spoke, Xiao Wu sat down beside her and quietly watched Gu Yi.

But before the two could say anything more, a beastly roar rang out beside them.

It turned out that the sword tiger was still in the same spot. Severely injured, it had no way to run. The palm strike that hit Zhu Zhuqing earlier was its last bit of strength. Now, it could only wait to die.

Its roar drew the attention of the two, who had momentarily forgotten about it due to the intensity of their previous battle.

"How about I take care of Gu Yi while you absorb that spirit ring?"

Xiao Wu glanced at Jian Hu and tentatively asked Zhu Zhuqing.

In Xiao Wu's eyes, this sword tiger was truly pitiful, and it would be better to let Zhu Zhuqing give it a quick death.

"Okay, then I'll leave Gu Yi in your care."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and agreed.

She didn't want to waste such a good spirit ring. Anyway, Gu Yi was fine now, so it wouldn't hurt to have Xiao Wu come.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing gave up her seat, picked up the dagger on the ground again, and then plunged it into the tiger's brow.

The next moment, a purple thousand-year soul ring appeared around the sword tiger and was guided by Zhu Zhuqing to her own body, where she began to absorb it.

About half an hour later, Gu Yi's eyes moved. He frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and looked around in confusion.

At this moment, he still felt some pain and discomfort in his forehead.

"What happened to me? What just happened?"

Gu Yi only remembered that he was about to unleash his full power and snap Ning Rongrong's neck, but suddenly everything went black and he lost consciousness.
