Chapter 240 Did you summon me?
"Your city lord has already decided to let us go. What do you mean by stopping us from leaving now?" Xiang Aonan, who was sitting in the back seat, also noticed the man who stopped their car in front. He couldn't help but roll down the window and stick half of his head out and shouted at the man in front.
Zhong Yan looked at the people in the car with a leisurely smile, "You don't really think that the guy named Lou will let you go so easily, do you?"
"What do you mean?" Xiang Aonan still couldn't react.
Gu Xulin frowned. It must have been Luo Tingyu's instruction that Zhong Yan appeared here to intercept them. As he expected, Luo Tingyu really didn't want him to leave City B alive.
"Turn around and take another way!" Gu Xulin immediately ordered Mu Yun.
Even though Zhong Yan was the only person sent by Luo Tingyu, Gu Xulin was seriously injured and had no energy to fight him. If they still wanted to survive, they had no choice but to escape.
As soon as Mu Yun received the order, he started the car and turned around, driving at full speed back the way he came out, intending to return to the previous intersection and change route.
Seeing that they wanted to run, Zhong Yan behind them was not in a hurry and just calmly showed a cold smile.
Gu Xulin watched Zhong Yan's every move closely through the rearview mirror, and saw that the man behind him was watching them go away but did not chase after them. Instead, he raised a strange smile. Then the man just raised his hand slightly, and a ball of orange lightning power gradually condensed in his palm.
Gu Xulin's expression tensed up. Just before the man was about to attack their car, he turned around and shouted at Mu Yun, "Get out of the way!"
Mu Yun, who was concentrating on driving, didn't notice the movement from Zhong Yan behind him at all. When he heard Gu Xulin's sudden shout, he subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror. By the time he saw clearly the attack launched by Zhong Yan towards them from behind, Mu Yun had no time to react.
The moment after Gu Xulin finished shouting, he saw Mu Yun reacting so slowly that he couldn't help but lean over and grab the steering wheel to the side. However, he was still a step too late.
A powerful force suddenly attacked their car from behind, and they were blown away with the car in an instant. The out-of-control SUV flipped several times when it landed on the ground, and the overturned car body rubbed against the ground with a harsh friction sound, and it slid for a long distance before stopping.
At that moment, Gu Xulin only felt a dizziness and vertigo, accompanied by dull pain from the collision of the car body in many parts of his body, which almost made him faint.
Until he felt that the overturned car had completely stopped sliding, Gu Xulin, who still had a trace of consciousness, didn't know whether he should be glad that he was wearing a seat belt or that he was lucky.
At this time, the off-road vehicle had fallen upside down on the asphalt road with its chassis facing upwards.
Gu Xulin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took a long time to calm down. His head was still dizzy and his vision was blurry. He wanted to open the car door, but it took him a long time to unbuckle his seat belt.
"Boss? How are you?"
Mu Yun had already opened the car door and climbed out while Gu Xulin was still dizzy. Now he was rushing around to the passenger side. He used brute force to remove the door that had been severely tilted on the passenger side and threw it aside. Then he rescued Gu Xulin inside and carried him to an open space not far away.
With Mu Yun's help, several companions in the back seat also climbed out of the car in a mess one after another.
Tang Qian, Ni Man and Xiang Aoqing supported each other and walked towards Gu Xulin.
Mu Yun also walked back to Gu Xulin's side and helped him up from the ground.
The bandages on Gu Xulin's body had turned red, and there was a new cut on his forehead, which was bleeding slowly. The bright red blood flowed down his cheek, making his already pale face even paler.
Seeing this, Mu Yun hurriedly called Ji He and Xiang Aonan, who had just retrieved backpacks from the overturned car, and tried to find some gauze to bandage him.
At the same time, Zhong Yan who was behind had also caught up.
Seeing that each of them was injured to varying degrees, with angry faces and messy clothes stained with blood, the man couldn't help but laugh even more happily when he saw their miserable appearance.
Zhong Yan's eyes were teasing, and with a hint of smugness and mockery on his face, he said to the few people, "Keep running, I want to see how you can run."
"Bah!" Xiang Aonan glared at the man and spat blood foam at him viciously, "You released him openly but hunted him down secretly. You are so dishonest. Be careful of retribution. You will definitely not die a good death in the future!"
“You’re going to die a miserable death? Hahaha…” Zhong Yan laughed out loud again as if he had heard some ridiculous joke. He looked at the people in front of him with cold eyes, “I’m afraid you’re going to die before me!”
After saying that, the man stopped talking nonsense and gathered the orange-yellow lightning power again in his slightly raised palm.
Seeing this, Gu Xulin's expression could not help but tighten, and suddenly at this moment, Xi Yan's instructions to him flashed through his mind. As if he had thought of something, he quickly took out the treasure bag that Xi Yan had specially given him.
Before opening the red brocade bag, Gu Xulin thought that the thing inside was some magic weapon left for him by Xi Yan, but he didn't expect that what he took out of the brocade bag was actually a lock of black hair?
Gu Xulin looked at the hair tied with a red satin band in his hand and couldn't help but wonder, isn't this the thing that Xi Yan has always treasured from Xuan Sang?
The moment he saw the braid, Gu Xulin was stunned for a moment. Xi Yan actually gave him something so important to him?
Before, he had only taken it secretly out of curiosity to check it out, but he was severely reprimanded by Xi Yan. But now, Xi Yan gave it to him?
The fact that this lock of hair, which was previously considered private property and could not be touched by others, was given to someone else today was not discussed for the time being. The important thing was what use could this lock of hair have? Gu Xulin did not understand, but it was too late for him to think about it.
Seeing that the lightning power accumulated in the man's hand was getting stronger and stronger, Gu Xulin looked at the lock of hair in his hand again. He had no choice but to recite the summoning words Xi Yan had told him, "Lord of the Underworld, please transform into your true form!"
Unexpectedly, what Gu Xulin didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, the braid lying quietly in his hand began to dissipate little by little, turning into strands of red light, and then quickly condensed into a figure in front of him.
The figure had a human body and a snake tail, dressed in luxurious black clothes. The snake tail under the skirt was coiled on the ground. The whole body was dark red, and the scales that were larger than a human palm were shining with a cold luster.
Although the figure had his eyes closed, Gu Xulin recognized him at once. He couldn't help but murmured, "Xuan Sang?"
The moment Xuan Sang's figure gradually became real and clear from transparent and illusory, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Xuan Sang looked around at the people in front of him with a slightly confused look, and finally his gaze fell on Gu Xulin. He sounded very surprised, "Did you summon me?"
Gu Xulin nodded. He never expected that this lock of hair would have such a great effect that it could directly summon the system's main god who was keeping watch for the New Year.
