Does she plan to use this broken sword to fight against me?

Gu Ruoyun looked at the spiritual weapon in her hand and sighed. Ever since she had fought with the Lin family's cultivators which resulted in the spiritual weapon being snapped into two, she had not been able to make it whole. It looks like it was time for her to find an ironworker to make the broken sword whole.

After all, the Divine Weapon, Nine Emperors would attract far too much attention. She would never use the Nine Emperors unless it was her last resort.

"Hahaha!" The young man burst into laughter. He laughed until tears nearly rolled down his face. "You can't possibly intend to use that to fight against me! Do you think that a broken sword can defeat me? You have no hope of victory. As it turns out, you will lose without a doubt!"

Gu Ruoyun glanced at the young man and replied indifferently, "This is enough to defeat you."

Boom!

The young man, who had been laughing at Gu Ruoyun, heard this and was instantly enraged. He then glared at her fiercely, "Little girl, there's a price to pay for being reckless. Now, I'll make you understand the consequences of underestimating me!"

Whoosh!

The young man's figure flashed once again when he finished speaking. He then reappeared right above Gu Ruoyun's head.

The pretty young man saw this and was instantly anxious. He cried out worriedly, "Watch out, bodyguard Gu!"

Even though the peerless man by the woman's side had noticed the longsword which was aimed at her, he did not seem to show any sense of urgency at all. His peerless features continued to display an air of indifference as his blood-red lips curled into a shallow smile.

Clang!

A clear ringing noise sounded throughout the entire mountain forest.

Gu Ruoyun had blocked the longsword's strike with great ease. Her delicate and pretty features were lit up with a smile as she asked, "Is that all you've got?"

Stab!

The broken sword was then driven fiercely through the longsword and landed on the young man's chest. With a loud bursting noise, the entire sword's hilt was driven into young man's chest. She then slowly pulled it out as the young man watched with eyes full of hatred.

"I have more than enough enemies. In order to prevent more people from causing trouble for me in the future, I have no choice but to cut you off at the root."

Gu Ruoun shrugged her shoulders as she glanced at the fresh blood spurting out from the young man's chest. She then walked around him and approached the handsome young man in front of her. She wrinkled her brows as she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I..." The handsome youth bit his lip and replied proudly, "I've completed the Ye family's tests so I've left the Ye family to search for you! I heard that you've made your way to the East Peak Mainland so I had come here as well. However, I did not know where to find you until I met someone..."

"That person said that she had come from the First City and that she could bring me here to look for you. I had followed her but I never expected to actually find you here. Bodyguard Gu, I've missed you to death."

Once Ye Nuo finished speaking, he held his arms wide and charged towards Gu Ruoyun.

However, before he could arrive in front of her, a large hand picked him up and threw him aside.

Ye Nuo's buttocks landed on the ground with a loud thud. He rubbed his throbbing behind as his large, proud eyes filled with grief. He then glared at Qianbei Ye who had thrown him aside before turning his attention back towards Gu Ruoyun. He cried out pitifully, "Bodyguard Gu..."

"Your powers don't seem to be at the Martial Saint rank." Gu Ruoyun ignored Ye Nuo's pitiful little expression straightaway. "However, you are only one step away from becoming a Martial Supreme as well. You say that someone had brought you into the First City; I wonder who that is?"
