I saw a figure in black emerging from the bottom of the lake and intercepting Gu Xiao.

Holding a dagger in his hand, he was sharp and swift, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Old Man Li.

"Ding Dong...!"

The metals rubbed against each other, making a crisp sound. The dagger competed with Old Man Li's iron fan, and dazzling sparks flew out.

Gu Xiao opened his eyes wide and looked at the black-clothed and masked man who suddenly appeared, feeling inexplicably shocked.

The appearance of the masked man in black saved Gu Xiao.

"It's you!"

Old Man Li frowned, with fear in his eyes. He didn't expect anyone else to intervene in this situation.

The masked man in black ignored Old Man Li, glanced at Gu Xiao, and immediately turned around and left.

He seemed to be passing by and helping Gu Xiao casually.

Gu Xiao quickly got up, caught up with the masked man in black, and said apologetically: "Thank you for saving me!"

The masked man in black waved his hand and said indifferently: "We met by chance, there is no need to say thank you."

After saying that, the masked man in black tapped his toes, jumped up, flew several feet away, and disappeared above the lake.

Looking at the leaving figure of the masked man in black, Gu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "He doesn't seem to be here for the Yunwu Guo, and he seems to know me?"

Gu Xiao shook his head and tried to expel the memory images that appeared in his mind, but it was still blank.

"Forget it, no matter what happened to him. Since this big brother doesn't want the Yunwu Fruit, it's better for us to escape quickly."

Gu Xiao underestimated the strength gap between himself and Old Man Li, so he turned around and left without wanting to fight.

However, just as he took a few steps, Old Man Li's cold and biting voice faintly came to his ears: "Want to run? It's too late."

"Um?"

Gu Xiao looked solemn, turned around and met the cold gaze of Old Man Li.

I saw Old Man Li slowly walking towards Gu Xiao with a cruel smile on his face, "Jie Jie... you brat, you have caused me to lose my life, this debt must be paid back!"

"You are so stubborn!" Gu Xiao smiled coldly and thought quickly, "Use the 'Resurrection Pill'!"

The next moment, a majestic energy was injected into his body, filling his limbs and bones, invigorating Gu Xiao and eliminating his fatigue.

"Old guy, go to hell!" Gu Xiao shouted, used Dragon Elephant Fist, exploded with all his strength, and punched Old Man Li hard!

"Little tricks!"

With a sarcastic look on his face, Old Man Li waved his iron fan to block the attack, and a loud "Clang!" was heard.

"What?" Gu Xiao's eyes widened.

Under Gu Xiao's gaze, Old Man Li's figure disappeared out of thin air!

"Huh? Where did he go?" Gu Xiao was shocked and looked around.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his waist, and then he flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out.

"Pfft...cough cough cough!"

Gu Xiao looked pale and coughed non-stop.

"Little one, in a little while, your Cloud Fruit will belong to me! Hahaha!"

Old Man Li laughed wildly, his voice full of excitement.

Gu Xiao stood up, clutching his chest, gritting his teeth and feeling extremely angry.

He didn't expect that he would be defeated by Old Man Li.

"Boy, just surrender and capture me! You can't beat me!" Old Man Li laughed strangely and stared at Gu Xiao insidiously.

Gu Xiao clenched his fists, feeling very unwilling.

He tried his best to escape, but in the end, he was defeated!

Is he destined to die in the hands of Old Man Li today?

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

Just when Gu Xiao was thinking about countermeasures, a cold voice of inquiry suddenly came from his ears.

"Huh?" Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment and looked up. What caught his eyes was a cold mask.

"My life and death are controlled by myself. It is not anyone else's turn to make the decision for me." Gu Xiao said coldly. He was not afraid of strangers.

The masked man in black didn't say any more nonsense and walked straight towards Gu Xiao.

"Hey, what are you doing! Do you want to kill me? I'm warning you, there is someone behind me. If you dare to hurt me at all, the person behind me will never let you go!" Gu Xiao was frightened.

He quickly moved out of his support.

"The person behind you?" The masked man in black paused.

"Humph!" Gu Xiao's face returned to arrogance, "Yes, that person is an elder of Daxia Martial Palace, extremely powerful! If you dare to hurt me, you will never survive."

It would be good for him to use a random name to scare that person.

"Oh? Elder of Daxia Wufu?" Upon hearing Gu Xiao's threat, the masked man in black showed a meaningful expression.

Seeing the masked man in black stopped, Gu Xiao felt a little relieved.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in killing you. I just made a tentative attack. You are very weak and not qualified enough for me to take action." The masked man in black said calmly.

Hearing this, Gu Xiao was startled for a moment and said: "My strength is very weak?"

Although Gu Xiao has no talent, he can be regarded as a prodigy in martial arts and is ranked among the best in the entire previous empire.

The masked man in black actually said that Gu Xiao was weak?

"snort!"

Gu Xiao curled his lips and was too lazy to talk to the masked man in black.

Just when Gu Xiao was about to leave, the masked man in black suddenly said: "If I guessed correctly, you must have practiced some kind of secret technique to have such a powerful body."

The words of the masked man in black made Gu Xiao's expression change suddenly. He knew that his secret had been seen through.

"As expected of a master at that level, this vision is indeed vicious!" Gu Xiao thought to himself.

"Who are you!" Gu Xiao took a deep breath, stared at the masked man in black, and said in a deep voice.

The masked man in black glanced at Gu Xiao coldly and said: "My name is Qin Feng, you can call me Qin Feng Swordsman."

"Qin Feng Swordsman?" Gu Xiao frowned.

He had never heard of this name before, so he probably wasn't from the Apocalypse Empire.

"Haha, little guy, you are quite young, you don't look like someone from Daxia. You should be from Beiling City, right?" Qin Feng Swordsman said.

Gu Xiao was silent for a moment, then got off the ladder and nodded: "That's right."

"Haha..." Qin Feng Swordsman smiled, "Boy, I advise you not to stay here any longer and leave here quickly."

Hearing this, Gu Xiao was surprised and said: "Why are you leaving? Not only do I want to get this cloud fruit, but I also want to dig out your body and whip it!"

"Um?"

After hearing Gu Xiao's words, Swordsman Qin Feng's eyes flashed fiercely, "You kid, you are looking for death!"

Qin Feng swordsman was furious, holding an iron fan and walking towards Gu Xiao step by step.

"I admit, your physical body is stronger than I expected. But, it would be easy for me to kill you!"

Qin Feng Swordsman's face was cold, and his whole body was filled with fierce sword power.

"Buzz~"

Qin Feng swordsman drew his sword out of its scabbard, letting out a cold glow. Suddenly, the temperature around him dropped sharply, and it was bone-chilling cold.

"hiss!"

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Qin Feng Swordsman's body, Gu Xiao's pupils shrank.

"Who are you!" Gu Xiao gritted his teeth.
