The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 844 My heart is filled with the image of one person.

Thunderfire Wasteland.

Lin Chen and Lu Daoren flew forward according to the map, encountering several groups of cultivators along the way. Clearly, they were all in the Thunderfire Wasteland looking for divine objects.

Lin Chen was somewhat interested in the emergence of divine objects, but not much. The towering radiance of the Demon Emperor's Tomb had attracted so many people, only to leave empty-handed and with countless deaths and injuries. Lin Chen had a deep impression of that.

Divine objects capable of radiating astonishing light are basically spiritual treasures. If they do not develop a spirit, they are just inanimate objects with immense power but no life. However, once they develop a spirit, it is not so easy to subdue them.

The Ghost Tower that Qiao Wei mentioned was a magical treasure with a spirit. It had stood between heaven and earth for so long, yet no one had been able to subdue it. Instead, countless people had died inside the Ghost Tower.

Finding Gu Yuexi was his primary goal.

A fetish?

Let it go.

As Lin Chen ventured deeper into the Thunderfire Wasteland, Gu Yuexi was engaged in battle.

Gu Yuexi's opponent was a three-meter-tall ironback gorilla with muscles as hard as steel. One punch from it could smash a boulder to pieces.

Gu Yuexi was wielding her flying sword, locked in combat with her opponent. The sword pierced the ironback gorilla, drawing blood, but the wound was not large.

The flying sword failed to pierce the steel-like body, instead enraging the ironback gorilla, which launched an even fiercer attack on Gu Yuexi, leaving her flustered.

Beside the battlefield stood a tall, handsome young man, none other than Zhuo Boyan, the head of the third-generation disciples. He smiled and instructed, "In battle, you can't just fight head-on. Unless you have the strength to crush your opponent, you can overcome all obstacles with sheer force. But if the strength difference is not significant, you must use probing attacks to quickly discover the opponent's weaknesses and find the easiest way to defeat them."

"The Ironback Ape is named Ironback because its back is the broadest and easiest to attack, but it is also the hardest part. Even flying swords can hardly inflict a fatal wound. The belly, neck, armpits, and buttocks of monsters are often the softest parts. You need to find the attack point, lure the opponent to expose its weak point, and then take it down in one fell swoop."

Gu Yuexi seemed to understand something, and her flying sword danced even faster in an instant, but the frequency of its descent decreased, causing the Ironback Gorilla to repeatedly block but miss its target multiple times.

Just as the ironback gorilla missed its punch again, its body twisting and exposing its belly, the flying sword swooped down and grazed its belly.

"Shh!"

A huge wound appeared on the ironback gorilla's stomach, and blood and some intestines gushed out. The ironback gorilla staggered and exposed its neck again.

The flying sword spun rapidly, piercing through the gap below the exposed neck, and then passing through the other side.

"boom!"

The ironback gorilla's massive body collapsed to the ground.

Gu Yuexi recalled her flying sword, her expression slightly excited; the battle was becoming increasingly smooth for her. Gu Yuexi turned her head and politely thanked him, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Zhuo."

Zhuo Boyan smiled elegantly and said, "Junior Sister Gu, your comprehension ability is really good. You were able to kill the Ironback Gorilla on your own after only a few battles. You are very impressive. It won't be long before you surpass us!"

Gu Yuexi replied modestly, "Senior Brother Zhuo, you flatter me. I owe it all to everyone's guidance. Compared to you all, I still have a long way to go."

Zhuo Boyan said with concern, "You must be tired. Take a rest and have something to eat before we continue... Junior Brother Chen, you guys pack up the spoils."

Gu Yuexi agreed, "Okay!"

Gu Yuexi didn't want the spoils of war, because someone else had asked her to kill them in the first place.

She doesn't lack cultivation resources; what she lacks is combat experience.

Although Gu Yuexi has now been accepted as a disciple by the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall and has become the grand-disciple of the Cave Master, and is highly valued by the Cave Master, thus holding a superior status, she is not arrogant because of this. On the contrary, she is very polite and courteous to everyone.

Although she now has a mentor who treats her very well, it's a mentorship that involves expecting something in return, so it feels quite different from having family.

In this world, she is all alone, all by herself.

She lived a very cautious life.

Zhuo Boyan handed over a bottle of water and said with a smile, "Have some water. This is a medicinal tea I made with seven-leaf orchid grass. It tastes good and can refresh the mind..."

Gu Yuexi did not accept the water, but instead took out a pot of water herself and smiled, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhuo, but I have my own water."

Gu Yuexi had little contact with Zhuo Boyan before, and this was their first time. Zhuo Boyan showed obvious eagerness, which made Gu Yuexi wary.

Her heart was filled with Lin Chen's image, and she could not and did not want anyone else to be there.

She wouldn't give anyone a chance, nor would she want to cause any misunderstandings.

Zhuo Boyan smiled, withdrew his hand, unscrewed the cap, and drank it himself, but a hint of coldness flashed deep in his eyes.

Although you are indeed very beautiful, if you weren't a Wood Spirit, do you think I would even glance at you?

Don't know what is good and what is bad!
