The Attack Of The Wastrel Chapter 424

Attacking directly was not an option. With so many people in the Feixing Pavilion, directly trying to save her would just be creating trouble.

Since they could not use force, their only option was their wits!

Gu Lingzhi's mind turned quickly as she leaned against Rong Yuan's chest and said slowly, “Try to delay Hunting Cat with Xiao Jin and Xin Yi, I will be back soon.”

Rong Yuan threw her a worried look before nodding in agreement.

Taking the opportunity with everyone distracted by Hunting Cat and Qin Xinran, Gu Lingzhi snuck out quietly. Finding a quiet spot, she took a Yirong Pill and thought of the disguise she wanted in her mind. When she appeared again, Gu Lingzhi had turned into a das.h.i.+ng young man wearing green.

At the Feixing Pavilion, although the rest did not know what Gu Lingzhi left to do, they knew it had something to do with rescuing Qin Xinran.

Standing in the crowd, Rong Yuan observed the situation and saw that Hunting Cat was slightly impatient. When the crowd started to retreat, he walked up to Hunting Cat haughtily.

“Is this an Ascension Member from the Tianyuan Continent? She doesn't look any different from us residents of the Realm of the G.o.ds.”

Hearing a familiar voice, Qin Xinran's small frame trembled slightly. Her head that had been facing the ground suddenly tilted up as she saw three familiar faces. She had a moment of delight before it quickly changed to worry.

Why were they here? Were they trying to save her?

They couldn't! With so many people here, the three of them would not be able to save her. Not even counting the other people, they would not even be able to deal with Hunting Cat alone. Having suffered under him, Qin Xinran was very aware of how scary Hunting Cat could be.

Seeing Qin Xinran recognise them, Xin Yi walked up and pretended to walk around Qin Xinran, a.s.sessing her. He nitpicked, “This la.s.s looks so harmless, can she really bring trouble to the Realm of the G.o.ds?”

Tianfeng Jin did not like to speak much and stood by the side, emitting a cold aura as she watched Rong Yuan and Xin Yi in action.

Where did three of them come from? Hunting Cat looked at Rong Yuan, slightly confused. He did not pay them attention as he said a few simple sentences and pulled Qin Xinran along to complete his task.

Rong Yuan could not let him leave so easily. A mischievous expression appeared on Rong Yuan's face as he took a step forward to block Hunting Cat's way. Looking at Qin Xinran he mocked, “You are already here, what is the rush? Let me take a longer look before you submit your task. Maybe next time I will also be able to catch an Ascension Member in exchange for some Contribution Points.”

“That's right, you are in such a rush to exchange. Are you afraid that we will steal your business?”

The people around them looked stunned as they saw these two people that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. How dare they challenge Hunting Cat? They stopped to watch the show. After all, Hunting Cat was very famous around here and hardly anyone dared to speak to him disrespectfully. They wanted to see these two people that did not know their boundaries get taught a lesson and pa.s.s some time.

Getting blocked multiple times, Hunting Cat's temper was starting to rise. Gripping the rope that bounded Qin Xinran even tighter, he looked at Rong Yuan unhappily.

Qin Xinran felt a moment of panic, worried that Rong Yuan would lose out if he went head to head with Hunting Cat. She was also afraid that her reaction would lead people to suspect that she had a connection to them and gritted her teeth, “Get lost! I am not an object, I will dig your eyes out if you continue to look at me!”

“Ha, she's pretty fierce!” Hearing Qin Xinran's attempt to sound fierce, the crowd laughed.

Qin Xinran's gaze swept over the crowd, “You're all just a useless bunch of worms with no opinion and only hide under Pan Luo's shadow, what right do you all have to laugh at others?”

“What did you say?” Rong Yuan's face darkened, “Did you just call us worms?”

Qin Xinran was slightly fl.u.s.tered, she knew they were pretending, yet she was still taken aback by Rong Yuan's tone. Her knees weakened as she said forcefully, “Isn't that the truth? You don't know what is right or wrong and determined that we are bad just because Pan Luo said so and put a price on us. If you aren't worms then what are you?”

Rong Yuan snorted, “How can the Deity King's judgement be wrong?”

“That's right, how can the Deity King's judgement be wrong?” Gu Lingzhi walked in from outside, pa.s.sing the crowd and standing near Rong Yuan. Wearing a coquettish smile, she reached out a hand and wanted to pinch Qin Xinran's chin but was stopped by a sword.

“She is my prey.” Hunting Cat stated calmly. His black pupils looked threateningly at Gu Lingzhi.

Having been with Rong Yuan for so long, she was long immune to these kinds of threats. She ignored him as she pursed her lips, “Isn't she just a prey? Why can't I touch her? I want to touch her, what can you do about it?”

As she finished speaking, a wave of threat no lesser than the one Hunting Cat emitted, spread out from Gu Lingzhi.

Qin Xinran was stunned as she looked at the person in front of her. Although Gu Lingzhi had completely altered her appearance and aura, Qin Xinran could recognise her right away.

That was because Gu Lingzhi had disguised herself as Pan Yue!

She was wondering why Rong Yuan was not with Gu Lingzhi, it turned out that they had a plan.

A few hundred years ago, Pan Yue had fallen asleep along with Ye Fei who had used up her lifespan and was buried in a place with mountains and clear water. He definitely could not appear here! It goes without saying who was using Pan Yue's ident.i.ty now.

Everyone else also froze upon seeing this 'Pan Yue', a reminiscent look appeared in their eyes. Only Rong Yuan's expression did not change as he had already guessed that Gu Lingzhi was going to use this. He silently stepped aside allowing more s.p.a.ce for 'Pan Yue'.

Openly challenged by someone, Hunting Cat froze as his eyes hardened. A pitched black whip appeared in his hands as he looked at 'Pan Yue', not budging an inch, “You can try.”

“Let's try then.” 'Pan Yue' acted as if she was a spoiled brat that really wanted to play. 'Pan Yue' did not say another word as he drew out her weapon. In order to hide Gu Lingzhi's real ident.i.ty, she was using a broadsword. Gu Lingzhi handled the heavy sword in a formidable manner. Hunting Cat did not dare to show any signs of weakness as he thrashed his whip around. The whip sliced through the air as it met the broadsword in the air, creating sparks.

“Stop it! No fighting in the Feixing Pavilion!” The manager of the Feixing Pavilion immediately cut in seeing what was going to happen. Gu Lingzhi turned a deaf ear as she increased the intensity of her attacks. Hunting Cat had no choice but to release his grip on Qin Xinran in order to defend her.

In the midst of exchanging blows, Gu Lingzhi threw Qin Xinran an obscure look. Qin Xinran immediately responded by charging into Gu Lingzhi as Hunting Cat retracted his whip, preparing to change his attack. As she crashed into Gu Lingzhi, she shouted, “I will kill you, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

Qin Xinran's action surprised everyone. They were dumbfounded as they stared at Qin Xinran. They wondered if she hit the wrong person. Shouldn't she be trying to hit the person that caught her?

In the next second, everyone's confusion turned into shock.

Where was she? How did she disappear?

“Release her now!” Hunting Cat growled at Gu Lingzhi, suspecting that it was her that caused this.

“Release what?” Gu Lingzhi fervently denied, “You should be the one handing her over.”

This was definitely the first time in history that someone on the wanted list had gone missing after being caught and brought to the Feixing Pavilion.

Seeing the blue veins start to appear on Hunting Cat's forehead, it was clear that he was furious. Gu Lingzhi immediately started to accuse him as the thief first and complained, “I know, I bet it is because you saw the rewards on the wanted list and caught a random person, declaring that you caught an Ascension Member, just to get the Contribution Points. Now that you lost your person, you want to blame it on me. I won't fall for your trick.”

As she finished speaking, Gu Lingzhi reacted swiftly as she dodged Hunting Cat's attack. With a quick turn of her body, she dove into the crowd as she called out, “Look, I spoilt Hunting Cat's plan and now he wants to kill me so I won't spread. Everyone quickly run, be careful or you will get hurt too!”

“Nonsense!” In his anger, Hunting Cat brandished his whip and threw it all over, causing the air around him to split open. A few people who were not as strong could not dodge in time and were hit by his whip. They frantically tried to run away, creating chaos in the Feixing Pavilion.

“Everyone, look, he is trying to cover up his embarra.s.sment by getting angry!”

As she shouted, Gu Lingzhi followed her plan and started to flee towards the main door. Rong Yuan and the other two helped by blocking the route to Gu Lingzhi, helping her block a few attacks.

“Move away!” With most of his attacks getting blocked by careless pa.s.serbys, Hunting Cat bellowed at Rong Yuan and the rest.

“You are attacking everyone for no reason and with such uncouth language. Your behaviour is too tyrannical.” Rong Yuan chuckled as he pretended to be angry after getting hit a few times by Hunting Cat, “Could it be that what that young lad said was true? Did you really try to impersonate someone random as an Ascension Member? Is that why you are trying so hard to injure people?”

“Fools!” Hunting Cat gritted his teeth in anger.

If not for these people blocking his way, why would he hit other people by accident? Now, they are turning this back on him. Seeing how Gu Lingzhi was skirting right and left and about to escape from the Feixing Pavilion, as well as how Rong Yuan did not seem to want to let him go, Hunting Cat could not help but shout, “Catch him! He must be together with the Ascension Member, he must have hidden the Ascension Member!”

“Who dares to mess around in my Feixing Pavilion?” The minute Hunting Cat finished speaking, a strong and forceful aura fell upon everyone in the Feixing Pavilion. There was a movement in the air as a shadow appeared in midair. Looking at the crowd beneath him, he spoke coldly, “Who dares to create trouble in the Feixing Pavilion?”

Rong Yuan's pupils shrunk as the void descended. This was a technique that only an upper-cla.s.s True G.o.d could master after they had learnt sufficient Heaven and Earth Laws. He never thought that there would be such a powerful being in the Feixing Pavilion of this small town.

Looking worriedly at the door, Rong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and kept his head down as he did not spot any sign of Gu Lingzhi. The manager that tried a few times to stop Hunting Cat and Gu Lingzhi from fighting stood out. Raising his arm, he pointed towards Hunting Cat. Turning his body, he could not spot Gu Lingzhi in the crowd and silently cursed. Maybe what Hunting Cat said just now was right. The random lad that appeared could very likely be together with the Ascension Member, if not, how could 'he' have escaped so quickly?

Zhen Yang did not know what the manager was thinking and seeing how the manager did not budge after pointing to Hunting Cat, he a.s.sumed that Hunting Cat was the only one causing the trouble. An extreme amount of threatening pressure suddenly fell upon Hunting Cat, “Is it you? How dare you create trouble in the Feixing Pavilion?”

Beads of sweat rolled down Hunting Cat's forehead as he bore the weight of the threat, he struggled to say, “I was not creating trouble, it is the Ascension Member. Someone rescued the Ascension Member.”
