That tender question immediately drew an enthusiastic response from Gu Xijue: she raised her hand and slapped at him.
Delicate and fair as flawless green jade though that hand was, there was no telling how many people it had killed along the way.
Lu Feng hardly dared block it. He immediately tossed Fenfen Chengkuai aside, turned, and ran.
At the same time, he deployed the Five Directional Banners. He had no room to think about anything else now-his life came first.
Lu Feng had reacted fast enough, but Gu Xijue was far stronger than he was. Even using the Yan'e Drunken Immortal Steps and the Greased-Soles Cultivation Technique, he had barely transformed into a streak of rainbow light before her jade hand struck him.
The Earth-Leaving Flame Light Banner absorbed the purple flames, but the force of the blow landed on him undiminished.
With a sharp bang and a muffled grunt from Lu Feng, his entire body spun like a top at high speed and slammed into the stone wall.
"You damned scoundrel! How dare you take liberties with me! Have you forgotten how to write the word 'death'?"
Gu Xijue shouted fiercely. Gone was the gentle, jade-like grace she had possessed while unconscious. Her hair flew, her eyes blazed, and a visible ring of purple flames rose around her body. An almost tangible viciousness poured from the corners of her eyes, terrifying beyond measure. Clearly, she now intended to kill him.
"A misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! I didn't do anything, honestly! Listen to my explanation!"
Lu Feng immediately shouted, while repeatedly assuring himself inwardly: I really didn't do anything. I really didn't do anything. It was all an illusion. It was all an illusion.
"A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there possibly be? Let your corpse explain it to me!"
