It would take him half a day to defeat her. He would then wait for the death of Di Fuyi before taking any actions.

While he was still chatting with Gu Xijiu, he would walk around between the cracks of the ice. His steps appeared to be random, but he was trying to set up a strategy to seal the place so that there was no place she could run.

Gu Xijiu watched cautiously as he continued to walk around. He trod the area from end to end, so she followed his steps.

She was a little frustrated. From time to time, she would give the icicles on the banks a kick.

Although the ice towers were unusually strong, Gu Xijiu"s strength was enough to kick them off their ground. Some of them were cheekily aimed at Mo Zhao.

Certainly, Mo Zhao would not allow himself to be hit by these ice towers. He would either flip the ice away with his sleeve or swiftly avoid them. He remained untouched.

Gu Xijiu could tell that there was an underlying meaning in Mo Zhao"s words, but she could not figure out the hidden message. She no longer wanted to make any a.s.sumptions.

Making any a.s.sumptions was exhausting, and Gu Xijiu was too tired to think about it at the moment. She only had one goal, which was to kill Mo Zhao. She needed revenge on behalf of Little Fox, Rong Jialuo, the innocent people he had hurt, and also herself. She had to destroy the scourge of ma.s.s destruction.

She was not afraid to die in a fight with him. She was also devising a strategy which would cause both of them to be either severely injured or dead.

They continued to talk, but Mo Zhao was a very careful person. He did not let any of his thoughts slip out of his mouth.

Gu Xijiu only responded faintly, so he would not find out anything from her words.

She was an expert in array formation, so she could see that Mo Zhao was secretly planning his strategy. He must be desperate to catch her or even kill her.

She smirked, for it was still uncertain who would be dead at the end.

She knew that her Kung Fu was no match to Mo Zhao"s, but she had her ways. She learned a strategy from an exorcist that she met in her previous life. It was a plan that could be the ultimate kill.

However, the plan must come with a great price. Unless it were really necessary, no one would execute the plan.

Now was the time. It was finally time for her to carry out the strategy.

Although Mo Zhao was also an expert in array formation, his knowledge in that particular strategy was not as good as hers.

He took a stroll at the banks for nearly half an hour. Finally, he came to a stop and looked at Gu Xijiu fixedly, who was still standing opposite him.

Gu Xijiu raised her head and their eyes met. Mo Zhao gave her a gentle smile, but it somehow looked devilish. "Xijiu, I see that you like to follow my footsteps. Stop running away; will you?"

Gu Xijiu frowned but remained silent. Mo Zhao took a swift leap and landed next to her. He had already secured a wizardry barrier in all the ice cracks. Hence, her teleportation technique within the barrier would not work. She could no longer escape.

The placement of the wizardry barrier was very physically draining, especially to Mo Zhao"s spiritual power. With the execution of the plan, he would need at least half a month of recovery to begin his practice again.

He was resigned to the fact that he would stop his practice for a little while. Otherwise, he would not perform the wizardry barrier at this critical point.

He was very determined to get Gu Xijiu this time. Certainly, he had never paid any attention to her Kung Fu capability.

He was aware that her Kung Fu was good, but nothing compared to his standard. If they had to fight, she would not be able to resist more than 70 to 80 of his martial styles.

Gu Xijiu smiled charmingly. "You"d better not run away this time. Whoever runs is a coward. Let"s put an end to this."
