The Attack Of The Wastrel Chapter 79 - A Fatal Blow

This group of guys came specially for her!

From their words, Gu Lingzhi was sure of her deduction.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, when mountain bandits rob others they would only kill if they had no choice. However, from the moment they laid their eyes on her they already wanted to kill her. It was obvious that they came to take her life.

Before Gu Lingzhi could figure out who sent them, one of the bandits plunged into the stream impatiently. He neared Gu Lingzhi with an extremely vulgar expression.

“Do not be afraid, little beauty, as long as you make us happy we might even decide to be generous and let you go. You can then continue playing with these little fish in the stream.”

“d.a.m.n! A girl from a big family is certainly different and fres.h.!.+” Shouting out, he resembled a hungry lion attacking a lamb as he pounced towards Gu Lingzhi.

Gu Lingzhi was already prepared as a few red and blue water crystals flew out from her hands. She simultaneously backed quickly towards the right.

“Little beauty, if you are in such a rush to jump into my embrace, I will be embarra.s.sed.”

They had already accepted the mission and wondered how different a lady from a renowned family would be from a lady from a brothel. After all, she was going to die and it would not matter if they took advantage of her before killing her.

In the middle of the wilderness, they were not afraid of anyone b.u.mping into them and ruining their plans. These mountain bandits were used to conducting unscrupulous deeds and were slightly surprised at Gu Lingzhi's composure. However, this made them all the more excited for the hunt.

After intercepting and blocking Gu Lingzhi, his hand turned to grab a sensitive area.

“Shameless!” Reading his intentions, Gu Lingzhi scolded. Determined not to let this bunch of bandits touch her, her footwork quickened using the Sparrow Wings movement technique.

This however, made it more difficult for her to escape out of the circle.

The leader of the gang frowned as he reminded them, “Just play a little and let's get on with it before anything else happens.”

As the circle shrank, the hope that Gu Lingzhi had to escape became even dimmer.

Seeing the depraved and obscene looks on the men's faces, Gu Lingzhi turned desperately to look at the leader, “Who is it that hired you guys? Since I am going to die anyway, let me die knowing who it was!”

Upon saying this, Gu Lingzhi gave up struggling and looked stubbornly at the leader.

The leader was stunned as he saw Gu Lingzhi gave up. He never thought that she would give up so easily and was even planning to handle her himself if his subordinates failed him. He then gave a wretched smile as he teased, “You think it is so easy to get an answer out of us? If you satisfy us, we will tell you anything.”

She was going to be a dead person and nothing she knew would matter.

Gu Lingzhi breathed in deeply as she gave a humiliated and embarra.s.sed expression. She trembled under the gazes of everyone around her but persisted in asking the leader, “I don't know how to serve people, if you tell me who instructed you to kill me, I…am willing to learn.”

Whatever Gu Lingzhi just said came as a big surprise to the group of bandits.

“Good! I admire this att.i.tude!” After hesitating for a while, the leader suddenly burst out laughing, “If not for them wanting to see your dead body as proof, I would take you home to be my mistress.”

After clicking his tongue in approval, the leader stretched his arms out, wanting to embrace Gu Lingzhi. However, Gu Lingzhi immediately dodged.

“Huh?” The leader's eyebrows raised in disapproval.

Gu Lingzhi pursed her lips and said, “You still haven't told me who hired you guys.”

“It was a guy wearing a metal mask,” the leader answered abrasively as he was starting to get annoyed by Gu Lingzhi's questions.

Someone wearing a mask…

She had thought that this group of bandits were sent by Lin Yue-er and never thought that they would be sent by someone she did not know.

It seemed to her that there were several people out for her life.

“Little beauty, shouldn't you fulfil your side of the promise now?” Immediately as he spoke, the leader grabbed Gu Lingzhi's arm and pulled her into his embrace. He aimed his lips directly at Gu Lingzhi, wanting to kiss her.

As the leader's disgusting lips were about to touch Gu Lingzhi, she collected her expression and suddenly… disappeared.

Or rather, she had entered the Inheritance s.p.a.ce.

The leader only felt the weight in his arms disappear as the woman he was about to kiss disappeared. Before he could realise what was happening, a flame-covered sword was directed at his chest.

Caught off guard, the sword pierced through him.

“You…” Seeing the cold demeanour of Gu Lingzhi, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the leader could not understand what just happened.

How could a defenseless prey suddenly turn into the predator in a blink of an eye?

Yes, a predator. Gu Lingzhi's eyes were filled with the same coldness when she was hunting animals.

Hunting demon beasts on her journey had indeed helped to raise her fighting abilities, but how could it ever compare to fighting actual human beings?

Whatever she had done earlier, it was all for this single fatal blow!
