Yuan Zhixiang squinted his eyes, slowly extended his hand, and the long sword flew into his grasp. Looking at Gu Zhan, he said coldly, "Gang Leader Gu, what is the meaning of this? Raising a clamor for battle upon meeting—have you truly fallen into the Demon Dao?"
At that moment,
amidst the torrential rain, a figure suddenly flashed by at incredible speed, as if tearing through space, appearing directly behind Gu Zhan, lifting the grievously wounded Qi Baiyu. Then, with another stride, the figure crossed dozens of feet away from Gu Zhan, reappearing beside Yuan Zhixiang.
Gu Zhan looked at the person who appeared suddenly and slowly said, "You are Nie Ghost God of equal rank."
Nie Ghost God placed Qi Baiyu on the ground, quickly channeled a stream of True Essence into him, and fed him an elixir. He then stood up and cupped his hands towards Gu Zhan, saying, "Nie Ghost God of Sword King City, at your service, Gang Leader Gu."
