Thud!
Tam was flung away, his body slamming heavily into the ground.
Even after he passed out, lightning still coiled around him without pause, showing no sign of fading.
—So there was no way for him to save himself.
"As expected of the deputy guild master of the Magic Envoy Group. After taking so many hits from me, you still have a breath left."
As Gu Qingshan spoke, he walked toward him step by step.
Time was tight.
He didn't have time to waste here. He had to kill this guy quickly so he could get back on the road.
He raised his fist high—
"Wait!"
Shi Zhi suddenly stepped in front of him.
Gu Qingshan looked at her.
Shi Zhi explained, "If you strike now, one of us slaves will die at random in his place."
"...You have a way?" Gu Qingshan asked.
No wonder Tam had brought so many subordinates. So that was why.
"Once we leave the Fallen Sequence, he won't be able to use us to take the blow for him anymore," Shi Zhi said.
She took Gu Qingshan's hand in hers.
A line of small characters appeared on the War Sequence interface:
"Slave Sequence member of the Fallen Sequence: Shi Zhi is requesting to become your subordinate combatant. Do you accept?"
Gu Qingshan glanced sideways at the Highest Sequence interface.
On the backstage feed that belonged to him, seven or eight people from the Demon Emperor Era had already gathered.
"She actually saved Shi Zhi..."
The person at the head murmured softly.
Everyone held their breath, eyes fixed on the screen as though waiting for something.
Gu Qingshan said, "Accept."
A burst of cheers immediately rang out backstage.
"Convert Shi Zhi's sequence at once. Take her back!" the leader barked.
"Yes!" everyone answered
