My Gu Can Cultivate on Their Own

Chapter 37: One Strike To Kill

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

Ever since Fang Yuan had moved into the courtyard next to Xu Zhiyu, from the perspective of outsiders, he either ate or slept every day.?It seemed like he had nothing to do.

In fact, the rest of the people were in the same state.

It had been a few days, but not a single hair of the rapist was seen.

Basically, everyone felt that the other party was already afraid of them and had left Fanshu City long ago.

They just needed to wait for a period of time until the mission was over.

With such a mentality, anyone would relax.

Only Fang Yuan deeply understood that now was the best time for the rapist to make a move.

Fang Yuan moved the True Sight Gu to the other side of Xu Zhiyu’s courtyard wall to investigate some sect disciples who also lived near her bedroom.

“If it were me, I would first blend in with this group of people and start from the inside.”

Thinking from the other’s perspective was the most basic ability as a bodyguard, and also the most necessary ability to master.

Fang Yuan did not know much about it.

But in the current situation, it was enough.

Gradually, the sun started to set, and the vice city lord’s manor welcomed another night.

After eating the food sent over by the servants, Fang Yuan continued to use the True Sight Gu to spy on every corner of the manor, keeping a close eye on the whereabouts of all suspicious characters.

Suddenly, a soft white color floated across his vision.

Eh?

What was that?

Cough...

Xu Zhiyu was taking a bath, it was fine then.

Fang Yuan silently turned his view to the other side.

At this moment, a notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Your Cloud Shadow Gu’s level has increased, you have learned the skill Phantom Step!]

It levelled up?

Fang Yuan could not help but raise his eyebrows.

After consuming the fragrance for five whole days, it had finally reached tier one.

Its efficiency was a little slow, perhaps because it was not close enough to Xu Zhiyu.

However, he was already satisfied.?With the first skill, this Gold grade Gu worm was no longer just for display.

He immediately checked the skill description.

[Phantom Steps] : After using it, the user’s speed can be increased to the limit of the current physique!

Fang Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Limit!

It was actually a skill that could be pulled to the max.

He just did not know how long it would last.

He could only use it when he ran into trouble.

If he were to test it now, it would be very awkward if the rapist appeared during the cooldown period.

Right at this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded in Fang Yuan’s mind.

“Help!”

“Help...”

The voice stopped abruptly.

“Something happened!”

It was a message sent by a female cultivator using her Sound Transmission Gu.

Fang Yuan immediately pushed open the door and found the direction, rushing towards the darkness according to the path in his memory.

During his stay, he had already used the True Sight Gu’s vision to clearly remember the entire structure of the vice city lord’s manor.

In his heart, it was like a map.

He quickly found the approximate location of the female cultivator and climbed up the wall.?Sure enough, he saw a black clothed person holding a sharp blade, planning to kill her.

“You are courting death!”

Fang Yuan shouted loudly, scaring the other party.

“You actually came so quickly.”?The black clothed person cursed inwardly.?No longer bothering him, he turned around and ran.

“Run? Let’s see how far you can run!”

Without the slightest hesitation, he used Phantom Step and chased after Fang Yuan.

The commotion here alarmed many of the experts.

But the black-clothed man seemed to have long been prepared.?He easily bypassed them and fled out of the manor.

In an instant, Fang Yuan turned into a bolt of lightning and increased his speed to the limit.

Just as the black-clothed man placed his hand on the edge of the last wall of the vice city lord’s manor, before he could be happy, he felt a sudden pain in his chest.

He looked down and saw that a rod had appeared out of nowhere and pierced through his body.

When he turned around, he saw Fang Yuan’s cold face.

“It’s actually...?you...”

He had overestimated everyone except him.

And this had also become the fuse that led to his death.

Fang Yuan pulled back the worm rod, and the man in black collapsed like a pile of mud.

Looking down, he saw a Gu worm struggling in his hand, as if it had just been taken out and had not been put back into his acupoints.

Fang Yuan was lucky.

After a person died, their acupoints closed, and the remaining Gu worms could only follow their master’s death and the dissipation of their spiritual essence until the end of their lives.

He did not expect that there was still a fish that escaped the net.

Fang Yuan directly picked it up, sealed it with spiritual essence, and hid it in his sleeve.

After a few breaths, several experts from other sects also caught up.

Then, they looked at Fang Yuan with disbelief and surprise.

They clearly felt that when Fang Yuan attacked, he was clearly at the tenth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But why could he easily catch up to the black-clothed man who was at least at the first layer of the Enlightenment Realm, and kill him with a single strike?

They believed that they could not do either of the two.

The black-clothed man’s figure was too cunning.?It was not easy for them to catch up to him so quickly.

Not to mention that they would be able to kill him in one blow.

It was impossible without the strength of the fourth or even fifth layer of the Enlightenment Realm.

A group of people carried the black-clothed man’s corpse to Vice City Lord Xu and Xu Zhiyu’s side to report.

When Vice City Lord Xu asked who killed him, the experts who were stronger than Fang Yuan looked at each other and did not say anything.

“I killed him.”

Fang Yuan said calmly.

“Oh?”

Vice City Lord Xu was extremely surprised.?He did not believe it in his heart.

However, seeing that the others did not refute him and had shamed expressions on their faces, he slowly accepted this fact.

“As expected, a hero comes as a young man.”

Vice City Lord Xu laughed and praised him. “I didn’t expect Brother Fang to have such ability.?It really opened my eyes.”

Fang Yuan’s expression was calm.?“Since the rapist is dead, the mission is naturally over.?It’s time for me to return to the sect.”

“There’s no rush.”?Vice City Lord Xu pulled him back.?“Brother Fang, you helped me get rid of the big problem in my heart, and you also saved my daughter from the disaster.?If I don’t repay you properly, won’t the world look down on me?”

The butler at the side understood and asked his men to bring out two large boxes.

“This is a small token of my daughter’s and my goodwill.?Brother Fang, please accept it.”

Everyone’s eyes were red with envy, but there was nothing they could do.

It was their fault for not having the ability to take down the black-clothed man first.

Fang Yuan was just about to speak when a tremor suddenly came from his sleeve.

The Gu worm that he obtained from the black-clothed man seemed to be about to break through the spiritual essence seal!

He quickly waved his hand and stored the two large boxes into his storage space.

“Thank you, Vice City Lord Xu.?I will accept the gifts, but I have used up too much spirit essence just now.?I feel unwell and want to go back and rest, please excuse me.”

Saying so, he hurried out.

Vice City Lord Xu looked at his departing figure and did not say anything.?He turned his gaze to the other sect disciples and smiled.?“Today, everyone has contributed greatly to the battle, there will be a generous gift for you tomorrow.”

“I did not do anything, and I do not dare to ask for a reward.?I am truly ashamed, goodbye.”

A Gu master sighed, cupping his fists and leaving.

The others also left and dispersed.

They were all important figures in their respective sects, they had talked so much back then, but now their faces were hurting.

They could not stay here any longer.

Vice City Lord Xu could not help but shake his head, turning to look at Xu Zhiyu: “Tomorrow morning, bring some supplements to Fang Yuan, he can be considered your savior, so do not forget your manners.”

“I know.”?Xu Zhiyu bowed.

“Oh right, there’s one more thing.?You can talk to him tomorrow.?Remember it clearly...”

The whispers continued in the room.
