Chapter 122 - Chapter 122: Gu Yi Suffered a Setback

"Mage, what virtue or ability do I have that would make you specifically remember me! How about you just forget about me! We won't have a future together."

"???????" Gu Yi.

"No, look, I was so scared I misspoke. What I mean is, I'm just a nobody, not like thunder, no need to ring in your ears."

Lauren had a long face, inwardly groaning. Being targeted by a Supreme Mage was definitely not a good thing.

The key point was that his current strength was limited, and he was simply not her match, which made things even more difficult to handle.

"Little guy, you're quite humorous, but you don't need to be so afraid of me. I won't do anything to you, I'm just a little curious about you."

As Gu Yi said this, she suddenly took a stride, and in just the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of Lauren.

And then, before Lauren could even react, she extended her right hand and struck out with a palm towards Lauren's body.

Seeing this, Lauren couldn't help but be startled, and his body instinctively dodged backward, attempting to avoid Gu Yi's palm strike.

Because he knew very well what this palm strike represented, this was the Soul Striking Palm.

Once hit, his soul and body would immediately separate.

Thus, he would completely lose control over his body.

He wasn't afraid of losing control over his body; what he was afraid of was his soul body not matching his physical body.

If such a situation were seen by Gu Yi, his identity as a transmigrator would immediately be confirmed, and at that time, he would be utterly unable to explain.

Therefore, he definitely didn't want this kind of thing to happen.

So no matter what today, he couldn't let Gu Yi hit his body with her palm. He silently thought this in his heart.

He was seen with a solemn expression, body lowered, calves bowed. When Gu Yi's palm was about to touch his body, he planned to retreat backward at the fastest speed and then, regardless of anything, flee.

But he had somewhat overestimated his own strength, or more accurately speaking, he had underestimated Gu Yi's strength.

Because just as he was preparing to do so, he was terrified to discover that his body was like someone had pressed a pause button.

He couldn't move at all; he had been hit by Gu Yi's immobilization spell.

Afterward, in his disbelieving eyes, Gu Yi's palm had already heavily struck his body.

Watching Gu Yi's palm touch his body, a look of despair immediately appeared on Lauren's face.

He couldn't help but think inwardly, "It's over, I'm going to be discovered!"

He instinctively closed his eyes, preparing to wait for the most desperate moment to arrive, preparing for his soul to leave his body and separate from his physical form.

But what he never expected was that he kept his eyes closed for a long time, but the soul leaving his body that he imagined did not appear.

His body was still standing rigidly in place, his soul was still confined to his physical body, and the situation of his soul leaving his body did not occur.

This scene made him a little dumbfounded.

He even thought he had seen wrongly, so he looked left and right. When he discovered that his soul really hadn't left his body.

His heart couldn't help but feel a burst of wild joy. Then, as if he thought of something, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a hint of relief.

Before this, he had always worried that Gu Yi would see that he was a transmigrator, so he didn't dare to interact with Gu Yi.

But looking at the current situation, his system had already anticipated this point and had already made preparations in advance.

The only plausible explanation for why his soul wasn't struck out of his body by Gu Yi is that the system took action.

Otherwise, with Gu Yi's strength, simply no one could resist her palm strike.

And this scene was not only unexpected by him, but also by Gu Yi in front of him.

Seeing that her palm strike actually didn't send Lauren's soul flying out, Gu Yi was stunned. She instinctively struck Lauren's chest again.

And the result was still the same; Lauren's soul did not leave his body.

Seeing this, Gu Yi didn't speak but quietly watched Lauren.

At this time, Lauren, however, put on an act of being subjected to a powerful impact, and then flew backward himself.

He was seen falling awkwardly into the vast yellow sand, looking very pitiful, just as if he had really been injured by Gu Yi.

While showing a pained expression, he started to wail.

"Mage, I have no grudges against you, why did you suddenly hit me? Your palm strike was so forceful, it hurts so much after you hit me!"

"..." Gu Yi.

Seeing that Lauren actually dared to act in front of her, Gu Yi's expression couldn't help but become complicated. This kid was indeed not simple, just as she had guessed.

It must be known that the reason she suddenly attacked Lauren at this moment was because with her magic power, she actually couldn't see through Lauren in front of her.

And this was very abnormal. One must know that she was the Supreme Mage, and she even carried a Time Stone on her body.

Logically speaking, anything in front of her would be unable to hide, and the future would be clearly visible.

But when she used Time Magic to predict the future of this young man in front of her, what appeared before her eyes was actually a vast expanse of hazy black fog.

Because of the obstruction from that black fog, she couldn't see anything clearly, couldn't see anything at all. Lauren became a mystery in her eyes.

Because of this, she would now think of using the Soul Striking Palm on Lauren, attempting to investigate Lauren's soul body.

One must know that her Soul Striking Palm had failed for the first time, and in this World, there were only two situations that could prevent her from investigating a soul.

One is that the opponent's strength is far above hers, and the other is that there is an existence whose strength is not inferior to hers, who has tampered with this kid in front of her.

In other words, Lauren in front of her is either hiding his true strength or there is a powerful backer behind him.

And no matter which one it is, she couldn't continue to act rashly, otherwise, who knows what would happen?

However, although she stopped attacking, when Lauren's several wives saw that Lauren had been sent flying by her palm strike, they immediately became furious.

Afterward, they, regardless of anything, took their respective weapons and launched an attack towards Gu Yi, attempting to defeat Gu Yi with the advantage in numbers.

But Gu Yi was a Skyfather-level expert, so naturally, it was impossible for them to handle her. Seeing a group of them rushing up.

Gu Yi didn't hesitate at all and directly struck several palms at them, attempting to strike their souls out of their bodies and make them lose their combat ability.

She couldn't strike out the soul of this mysterious guy Lauren, but as for his group of subordinates, she felt she could still easily do it.

But what she never expected was that when her palm struck those women's bodies, it was actually the same as with Lauren.

The situation of their souls leaving their bodies also did not occur, just as if they in front of her were living dead and didn't have souls belonging to them.

Watching such a scene, Gu Yi's brows furrowed slightly, and her face was full of disbelief.
