Chapter 802: Chapter 425: The Stalker Gu Sheng found a large Stone to sit on and observed the surroundings. This place offered a wide view, and even if a rabbit appeared within a hundred meters, it could be detected immediately. Settling down, Gu Sheng quietly augmented his Divine Power and released his Divine Sense to detect changes in the surroundings. Sitting on the large Stone, Gu Sheng glanced around. He knew this was the most critical moment. Immediately, Gu Sheng quietly mobilized the Divine Power within him and released his Divine Sense. The Divine Sense released by Gu Sheng, now fully restored, acted like an invisible net, covering a range of a hundred meters. Within this range, no small movement could escape his perception. At this moment, Gu Sheng’s Divine Sense suddenly captured three faint fluctuations of power. These three forces seemed to be quietly approaching. If not for his Divine Sense, Gu Sheng would not have been aware of these three forces. Fortunately, their actions were completely exposed before Gu Sheng’s powerful Divine Sense. Gu Sheng immediately locked onto the positions of these three forces, then focused his Divine Sense to attack the weakest among them. "Swish!" His Divine Sense pierced towards the opponent like a sharp sword. The opponent was clearly not anticipating such strong Divine Sense from Gu Sheng and was caught off guard, leaving the attacked Divine Sense in disarray. Soon, this Divine Sense dissipated. Simultaneously, as this Divine Sense dissipated, the other two forces quickly retreated, vanishing into the barren hills. Gu Sheng retracted his Divine Sense, staring intently in the direction where the Divine Sense had disappeared. He knew the opponent would not give up easily. All that was needed now was to wait quietly. As expected, it wasn’t long before three Shadows appeared unobtrusively within Gu Sheng’s line of sight. Gu Sheng stared at the three Shadows, his eyes gleaming with a cold sharpness. As the three people gradually approached, Gu Sheng could clearly see their faces. "Huh? Why is it them?" Gu Sheng muttered to himself in surprise. He hadn’t expected these three to be the servants he had previously encountered at the Ji family. They didn’t seem particularly strong, but tracking him here truly showed their perseverance. "Why are you three following me?" Gu Sheng sat on the Stone, questioning them coldly. The three exchanged glances, and the one who seemed to be the leader spoke up: "We are following the orders of the steward Ji Ren to take your life." Gu Sheng frowned, full of doubt. "Why do you want to kill me? I bear no great enmity with your Ji family." "We are just executing a task, as to why, we don’t know either." The leader shook his head and said. Gu Sheng knew these people were just pawns, even Ji Ren did not have such capability. Therefore, the real mastermind was that old lady Ji Hui. "Phew..." Gu Sheng took a deep breath, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "In that case, don’t blame me for being rude." As soon as the words fell, Gu Sheng’s figure suddenly leapt. His figure shot towards the three like a bolt of lightning. Seeing Gu Sheng rushing over, the three immediately dispersed, forming an encirclement. Their movements were swift and orderly, clearly not their first time executing such a task. The leader drew a Longsword from his waist. Though it was daytime, the blade shimmered menacingly under the sun. Who knows how many vengeful souls have died under this sword. The other two each drew a pair of daggers, the blades sharp, killing intent palpable. Gu Sheng’s gaze was icy. To him, these three servants were no match. But even so, he couldn’t underestimate them. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Divine Power surged within Gu Sheng, a powerful force coursing through him. "Come on!" Gu Sheng shouted, charging forward. The leader swung his sword to meet him, aiming directly at Gu Sheng’s vital spot. The other two flanked from either side, daggers stabbing at Gu Sheng’s ribs like venomous snakes. Their coordinated attack was fierce. Gu Sheng’s eyes showed no fear as he charged forth. Suddenly, Gu Sheng’s fist erupted with a dazzling green light. A powerful golden force burst from his fist. A giant energy vortex formed around him, devouring all three’s attacks. "Boom!" A loud explosion, and the trio’s attacks were completely smashed by Gu Sheng’s power. They only felt a powerful force surge at them, sending their bodies flying involuntarily, crashing heavily to the ground. Gu Sheng stood where he was, the energy vortex around him slowly dissipating. The three hadn’t expected Gu Sheng to defeat them with just one move. They struggled to rise from the ground, eyes full of shock. They hadn’t expected Gu Sheng to be so strong that their combined effort couldn’t withstand even one of his moves. "This... how is this possible?" The leader muttered, looking incredulous. "The steward really set us up, sending us to kill him? It’s practically a death sentence for us," "Exactly, we couldn’t even withstand one move, my liver hurts," complained the other two servants. Gu Sheng looked at them coldly, hearing from their tone that they had lost their will to fight. Gu Sheng didn’t attack again, but slowly walked towards them. "Tell me, why does Ji Hui want me dead?" Gu Sheng’s voice was cold, like the chilling judge from Hell. The lead servant swallowed hard with difficulty. They knew now there was no way they could complete their task.
