"Elder Brother!"
Gu Han rushed over, not daring to stop for even a moment, and finally arrived.
Seeing Gu Han panting, Gu Chen felt a warmth surge in his heart, followed by a wave of seriousness.
"Gu Han, hurry and leave, I'll hold them off!"
As he spoke, he shielded Gu Han behind him.
"Brothers united, their strength can cut through metal!"
Gu Han smiled. Since he had rushed all the way here, he had no intention of abandoning his Elder Brother Gu Chen because of danger.
"Little Wolf, let them see our strength."
As Gu Han's voice fell, Little Wolf let out a howl and charged at one of the men with its short legs, full of imposing might.
Gu Han did not hold back either, drawing the long sword he had borrowed from Li Qiang of the Logistics Department and following closely behind.
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile.
"Sword Elder, please wait a moment. If the situation turns bad later, you can control my body at any time."
"For now, I want to fight side-by-side with Gu Han."
Hearing Gu Chen say this, Sword Elder felt a sense of relief, as well as a touch of envy.
He had never experienced a scene of fighting enemies alongside his brother, even before he became a spirit.
"Alright, I will constantly monitor the situation. You can act with confidence."
Gu Chen nodded with a serious expression, raised his three-foot-long sword, and fought side-by-side with Gu Han.
The weakest among the four had also reached the strength of a ninth-tier Martial Disciple, just like Lei Chao.
Seeing the unassuming Little Wolf, which looked like it had just been weaned, charge forward, the closest man's eyes were filled with intense jealousy.
"You're quite lucky, but you're just a Martial Disciple, and you've actually contracted a Phantom Water Wolf."
Phantom Water Wolves were not a particularly rare species. People living in the Running Wolf Nation could naturally recognize them.
However, a wolf-like battle pet of this level was already an excellent choice for most people.
They had not yet become Martial Artists, so they were naturally extremely jealous of Gu Han, who could contract a battle pet at such an early stage.
"It's your bad luck to have followed such a master."
The man sneered, not taking Little Wolf seriously. He raised a foot, preparing to kick it away.
The reality was indeed as he had expected. Little Wolf whimpered and flew away.
"Ah!"
But the intense pain that followed immediately caused him to let out a shrill scream!
He looked down and saw that the little creature was biting his knee fiercely!
What was that that he had just kicked away?
The person next to him noticed that the Phantom Water Wolf that had been kicked away had exploded into a cloud of water mist in mid-air.
"Not good, this is the Phantom Water Wolf's racial skill, Phantom Water Clone!"
He exclaimed in alarm, completely not expecting such a small, young wolf to already be able to skillfully master Phantom Water Clone!
Little Wolf used its adorable appearance to deceive them, seizing the opportunity to bite off the opponent's knee with a single bite!
The pain of dislocated bones almost made the man faint on the spot, and he fell to the ground, screaming.
Before he could resist, Gu Han, who had already caught up, ended his life with a sword strike.
In just a few breaths since the battle began, Xue Wen's side had lost one person!
Seeing this, Xue Wen was instantly enraged.
"Damn it, none of you will leave here alive today!"
He stomped his right foot, and his body shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
The Speed was so great that even Gu Han's pupils contracted sharply.
This Speed indicated that he was likely a Martial Artist!
True Martial Artists were not the same concept as them, Martial Disciples!
"Little Wolf, dodge quickly!"
Gu Han shouted lowly, while he himself stepped forward, intending to block Xue Wen.
Little Wolf's true Strength could at most barely contend with an eighth-tier Martial Disciple.
Facing a Martial Artist, it had no power to fight back.
Gu Chen wanted to go forward to help, but he was jointly intercepted by the other two ninth-tier Martial Disciples, who did not give him a chance to break through.
At this moment, Gu Han shifted his sword to his left hand, clenched his right fist, and gathered all his Strength to a single point.
Fierce Fist!
Xue Wen saw that Gu Han not only didn't run, but even dared to resist, and immediately let out a sinister laugh.
His charging momentum didn't decrease but increased, and he used his momentum to blast a punch at Gu Han.
Amidst the heavy impact.
Gu Han's body was shaken back more than ten steps, his Vitality churned, and he looked at Xue Wen with surprise.
"This guy's strength doesn't seem as strong as I imagined."
After all, there was a major realm difference between the two.
But the opponent's strength was clearly not as strong as Gu Han had initially imagined.
Xue Wen's body only swayed slightly before stabilizing, but when he confidently looked at Gu Han, he didn't see the scene he had imagined.
Xue Wen's gaze narrowed; he hadn't held back at all with that punch.
Although he had only just entered the Martial Artist realm, no Martial Disciple should have been able to withstand his attack!
Guan Shan, who had been observing from the side in the forest, almost couldn't help but make a move when Xue Wen unleashed his Martial Artist strength.
But when he saw that Gu Han had actually blocked Xue Wen's attack, he was also stunned there in disbelief.
"Is this really a logistics soldier?"
Since Lei Chao was the spy, it meant Gu Han was a genuine logistics soldier.
Even half a month ago, the strength Gu Han displayed in the test was merely that of a First-tier Martial Apprentice.
In half a month, a First-tier Martial Apprentice had actually grown to a point where he could contend with a Martial Artist.
This was undoubtedly a preposterous notion!
Or was it that Gu Han had been holding back his strength during the test?
"These Gu brothers are both not simple."
Gu Chen, who had been held back on the other side, also had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"It seems Gu Han also has his own fortunate encounters."
With Sword Elder's help, he could fight two against one and hold his own against two Ninth-tier Martial Apprentices in such a short time.
Gu Han's starting point was even lower than his, yet he could directly confront a Martial Artist. This was definitely not something achievable through effort alone.
Only Gu Han knew that this was probably because he had absorbed a lot of Defense attributes during this period.
In the head-on clash, Gu Han retreated more steps, which indicated that his Strength was definitely inferior to Xue Wen's.
But he wasn't too heavily injured; it was just his Qi vortex churning.
What he relied on was his Defense, which far surpassed that of other Eighth-tier Martial Apprentices!
Although Gu Han's strength was still only that of an Eighth-tier Martial Apprentice, other Eighth-tier Martial Apprentices probably couldn't even withstand one of his punches!
Xue Wen no longer held any contempt in his heart. He took out a sharp long sword, pointing the tip directly at Gu Han.
"I'd like to see if your fist is harder or my sword is sharper!"
As his voice fell, Xue Wen's killing intent surged, and he fiercely charged at Gu Han, slashing with his sword.
Gu Han's gaze was solemn, and he had no choice but to hold his sword with his right hand again.
Although he held a sword, the only martial skill he had mastered so far was Fierce Fist.
However, a fist was not as sharp as a sword. At this moment, he could only use his weakness against the opponent's strength.
But just then, a loud shout came from the forest.
"Villain, die!"
Amidst the shout, Guan Shan swiftly emerged from the forest, moving so fast that he left behind afterimages.
When he had suspected the Gu brothers of being spies earlier, he hadn't intervened to save Lei Chao because Lei Chao's talent wasn't enough for him to abandon his fishing mission to rescue him.
But the extraordinary talent Gu Han and Gu Chen were now displaying.
Even if it meant alerting the enemy, Guan Shan had to save these two!
Otherwise, if anything happened to them, he would likely be consumed by endless self-reproach.
