Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Still the Same Way

"This girl can cast spells?" Chris was shocked again, then shouted, "What are you waiting for? Don’t let the hunter recover."

Xue Jun and Xue Hun immediately took action, anxious, they exerted all their strength to heavily bombard the Protective Barrier and break through it with sheer force.

"You won’t get past me!" Lin Yue brandished the treasured sword, not bothering with any swordsmanship, just slashing wildly, Jian Qi furiously lashing out, forcing Xue Jun and Xue Hun back and buying a bit of time.

"Kid, stop interfering!" Xue Jun accumulated strength and charged again.

At that moment, the half-recovered hunter didn’t care anymore and leaped forward, unleashing Jian Gang, sweeping in all directions, cleaving Xue Jun in half at the waist.

"Damn it!" Xue Jun felt himself faltering, filled with both unwillingness and fury.

The hunter patted himself down, but found no toothpick, missing a good opportunity to finish off Xue Jun.

The other vampires, seeing that Xue Jun couldn’t even withstand the hunter’s recent attack, thought the hunter had recovered, and who would dare to approach now?

Seeing that the others were intimidated, the hunter immediately grabbed Lin Yue and Gu Ling’s arms, then stepped on the flying sword, soaring into the sky in an urgent ascent, peach blossoms scattering all around.

Seeing the blood droplets falling from the sky, Chris finally realized that the hunter was just enduring it; the fellow had reached his limit. Annoyed and angered, Chris exclaimed, "Don’t let this guy escape."

The other vampires obeyed and were about to pursue, but Xue Hun stopped them, "Don’t chase, let them go."

Hearing this, Chris didn’t understand, "Why? We can catch up. If we miss this chance, who knows when the next will be."

"It seems this girl is the one the higher-ups instructed us not to provoke," Xue Hun produced a token he had picked up, bearing the symbol of Shennv Xuanhui.

Chris just glanced at it and was shocked, "Could it be that the girl wearing the mask was from Shennv Xuanhui?"

Xue Hun nodded, "According to the information, the only ones in this city who can cast spells, besides Gu Fan’s girlfriend Lin Xi, are from Shennv Xuanhui. The higher-ups said not to provoke them, especially Qian Feng."

Although Chris was reluctant, he eventually swallowed his anger, gritting his teeth, "It seems tonight, the hunter’s fate is not sealed."

"The higher-ups have instructed that in this city, we must be very careful; there are too many formidable individuals."

************

Ten minutes later, disregarding his injuries, the hunter flew swiftly, bringing Lin Yue and Gu Ling to a secluded rural area, which was a safe place for the time being.

As soon as the hunter landed, he knelt on one knee and spat out another mouthful of blood, indicating his injuries were severe.

Lin Yue was worried but powerless, only growing more anxious.

"Alright, let me do it," Gu Ling said, while beginning to move her hands and feet, ready to take serious action.

Both the hunter and Lin Yue felt that the girl before them seemed very eager to treat others, though not out of any sense of duty to save lives and help the wounded, but as if it were some sort of fun for her.

Because Lin Yue and Gu Ling had only met once before, now that both were wearing masks, neither could recognize the other, right?

The hunter, seeing that Gu Ling was about to cast a spell to heal him, suddenly thought of something, "Wait, you just learned this magic, didn’t you?"

"Yeah, how did you know?" Gu Ling was surprised and then began to treat the hunter as a test subject.

The hunter refused, "We’re safe now, I can heal myself, you don’t have to worry about me."

"What do you mean, you don’t trust me? Since I saved you, you should let me finish the job. No matter what you say, I’m responsible for your injuries today." Having said that, Gu Ling had already started chanting to cast the spell.

The hunter wore a pained expression, "When you cast the spell on me before, I felt constipated, then I felt like throwing up. There must be something wrong with your spellcasting."

"If you want me to save lives and help the injured, you’ve got to give me a chance to gain experience. Besides, I’m your lifesaver. Wouldn’t your conscience hurt treating me this way?" Gu Ling’s words sounded reasonable, but they gave the impression that she was determined to cause trouble no matter what.

Finally, the hunter reluctantly accepted Gu Ling’s treatment, and as a result, he alternated between stomach troubles, sleepiness, feeling listless, and then feeling so excited he was nearly out of control.

He was relieved when he finally made it through until his injuries were healed. The experience made him feel as if he was being tormented while being saved, and he couldn’t tell if Gu Ling was really helping him or harming him.

"Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. I’ve done a great deed." Gu Ling was very pleased with her work, then she glanced at Lin Yue, still wearing a mask, and asked in confusion, "Who is this person? Is he your lackey or something?"

Lin Yue immediately clarified, "What lackey? I’m his disciple."

Hearing this, Gu Ling wondered, "A disciple? Aren’t you the type who likes to be alone, destitute? How come you have a disciple? Don’t tell me you’ve started charging tuition to solve your financial problems?"

The expressions of both the hunter and Lin Yue darkened at once, Lin Yue wondered who this girl was, speaking so unpleasantly.

The hunter sighed inwardly; it was definitely Gu Ling, speaking as irritatingly as ever.

"He is my disciple and the next successor to Jian Shen." The hunter explained, but Gu Ling looked skeptically at Lin Yue and then shook her head, "Why do you make your disciple wear a mask? Is it because he can’t be seen by others?"

"What do you mean? Aren’t you wearing a mask just like me?" Lin Yue was getting upset. Even though the person had saved his life, it didn’t give her the right to speak like that.

The hunter nodded, "Yes, until he grows stronger, I can’t let my enemies know his identity, so he must not be seen."

Lin Yue fired back, "What about you then, wearing a mask too? Are you the same, not fit to be seen?"

Gu Ling answered, "No, no, no, a vampire just told me I looked too appetizing, he couldn’t help wanting to bite me. So I wear a mask to keep the vampire’s emotions in check."

"That’s a bit far-fetched, isn’t it?" Lin Yue was puzzled, who exactly was this girl?

Gu Ling added, "Alright, since everyone’s fine now, let’s head back early. I was already having a beautiful dream at home, and because of you guys, I had to stay up late. Do you know how bad that is for my skin? You owe me skincare products." With that, Gu Ling pulled out an invoice.

"Fine, alright... I’ll transfer the money to you when I get back." The hunter agreed, just hoping to get Gu Ling off his back as if paying for some peace and quiet.
