“Eh?” the young man tilted his head and exclaimed softly.

Song Qingluan suddenly raised her head and looked at the somewhat familiar figure in front of her. Tears once again flowed out of her eyes.

Everyone from the Hu Clan also shifted their astonished gazes onto Gu Xi. Only Hu Lie frowned slightly as he recalled the figure who had been calmly sitting on the chair in the hall of the Song Mansion during the day.

“I told you to leave the Song Family a long time ago.” Gu Xi spoke with some reproach.

Even so, he was very clear in his heart. Ever since the Hu Clan left during the day, the entire Song Family would be under the surveillance of the Hu Clan. They would definitely not let anyone leave unscathed.

Gu Xi’s gaze was fixed on the demonic tribe youth not far away from them. His expression was grave and he did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

This was the first time he had come into contact with the demonic tribe alone. He did not dare to be careless, because if he was careless, he might end up like Song Tian.

“Young Master Gu… Why did you still appear?” Song Qingluan pursed her red lips, but she did not understand.

The Song Family and Gu Xi did not have a relationship. Even if they did, it could only be a bad relationship.

In her opinion, Gu Xi’s appearance at this moment was just a momentary impulse. Even though Gu Xi’s talent in the spirit array could be called a monstrous existence, but in front of a youth who was not even Song Tian’s match, playing the hero would not have a good ending.

Gu Xi did not answer Song Qingluan’s question. Instead, he waved his hand to indicate that they would speak later. Then, he smiled slightly at the youth, “Brother, since you’ve already killed him, why don’t we stop here and let me take this girl away?”

Hearing this, the young man could not help but laugh out loud.

“That will depend on whether you have the ability to do so.” A hoarse voice sounded, and the young man’s body was once again filled with a murderous aura.

Clearly, he did not intend to stop here.

Of course, Gu Xi was not so foolish as to think that a simple sentence from him would be enough to change the thoughts of this guy from the outer realm demonic tribe.

Everything he did was just to divert the young man’s attention.

“Spirit Binding Formation!” Gu Xi suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed ruthlessly at the position of the young man.

In the next moment, the void around the young man began to wiggle violently. Immediately, numerous crisscrossing spirit patterns appeared and instantly formed a spirit array that was neither big nor small.

In the next moment, the spirit formation began to operate. A countless number of spirit symbols rose from the surface of the spirit formation in a lightning-like manner. They were like numerous vines that wrapped around the young man’s body.

“Nine Heavens Spirit Formation!”

Gu Xi changed his hand gesture and once again cried out in a deep voice.

After his voice sounded, an even larger and more complicated spirit formation appeared once again under the Spirit Binding Formation.

“Break!” Under Gu Xi’s control, the massive formation suddenly split into nine sub-formations that were neither too big nor too small, perfectly surrounding the youth.

Surging spirit energy spread out from the core of the nine sub-formations. Immediately after, nine pillars of spirit energy that were as thick as buckets burst out from within, completely bombarding the youth in the center.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening booms rang out, and one after another, spiritual power ripples spread out to the surroundings. All the buildings collapsed wherever they passed, without exception.

The members of the Hu Clan screamed and wanted to escape, but most of them did not even have time to react. The dead and injured once again added a bit of blood to the air.

“This is a high-level earth-rank spirit array!”

“This guy… who is he?!”

Hu Lie looked at Gu Xi in disbelief and could not help but cry out in shock.

He never expected the Song Family to have such an extraordinary guy.

On the other hand, Song Qingluan’s pretty face was also full of shock.

Although she was a mortal, as the eldest daughter of the Song Family, she was very clear that the two earth-rank spirit arrays that Gu Xi used just now were from the Song Family.

Most importantly, she personally gave him one of them!

It had only been a short day!

He had learned two high-grade earth-grade spirit arrays just like that?

However, no matter how shocked she was, Song Qingluan did not open her mouth to ask at this moment. On the contrary, because of the extraordinary strength that Gu Xi had displayed, her eyes lit up with hope for life.

At this moment, everyone present could not help but look at the position of the youth. The two spirit arrays were already showing signs of dissipating.

Everyone held their breaths. The Hu Clan members naturally hoped that the youth was fine. On the other hand, Song Qingluan wished that the youth would just die under the two spirit arrays.

The life and death of the youth decided the direction of the next matter.

Very quickly, the two spirit arrays completely dissipated.

Everyone widened their eyes and looked over, only to see that the young man was still standing in his original spot.

The Hu Clan members could not help but cheer. If the young man were to die here, Hu Clan’s fate would not be much better than the Song Family’s now.

Song Qingluan could not help but be very disappointed. She could only place her hopes on Gu Xi once again.

Gu Xi was not too surprised. After all, his opponent this time was also an outer realm demon. It would not make sense if he was easily dealt with.

However, although the youth did not die, he was not completely unscathed. At this moment, blood continuously flowed down the youth’s arm from the black robe’s sleeve. It was obvious that he was injured.

This made Gu Xi secretly sigh in relief. If he could be injured, he could be beaten to death.

“Very good, you’ve surprised me,” lowering his head to look at the blood on his arm, the youth said hoarsely.

“Thank you for your praise, Sir.” Gu Xi nodded and grinned with a fake smile.

“To be able to casually set up an earth-grade high-level spirit array, you’re the most talented person I’ve ever met in the entire Southern Continent.”

The youth spoke coldly, his eyes slowly turning blood red. Unknowingly, the smell of blood in the air seemed to grow thicker. He extended his scarlet tongue and licked his lips. “I am very curious, after I suck your flesh and blood, how will my strength increase?”

Hearing this, Gu Xi frowned slightly. Immediately, vast amounts of spirit energy surged out from his slightly skinny body, ready to attack at any time.

“Then we’ll have to see… What you’re capable of.” He opened his mouth and said indifferently.

“This is… the realm of Saints?”

“There are actually such young Saints in this world?!”

“It can’t be that some old monster who lives in seclusion in the deep mountains has changed his appearance, right?”

Sensing the fluctuations around Gu Xi, many members of the Hu Clan cried out in surprise.

It should be known that their master, Hu Lie, was only in the early Saint stage, and he had been promoted a few years ago.
