Barrier of Light

Nagano, Gu Clan Hall.

Gu Qilin was sitting in front of the artificial lake fishing, wearing a thick cloak.

His hair was all gray, and his energy and blood, which had been strong a few years ago, were now showing signs of decline.

The fishing rod bent, and a few waves appeared on the lake.

The old man is taking a nap with his eyes closed.

President Zhou Wei, who was taking a nap at the side, heard the slight noise and slowly woke up from his nap.

The two have known each other for many years, grew up together, aged together, and now enjoy their retirement fishing life together. Their life is very peaceful, as peaceful as this lake, with almost no disturbance.

But... occasionally there are surprises.

"Wake up."

Zhou Wei spoke up: "Old guy, it's time to stop."

Gu Qilin's eyes were sleepy, he slowly opened his eyes, and then stretched out slowly.

He did not put away the fishing rod, but allowed it to struggle. The waves on the lake quickly fluttered and dissipated...

This scene made Zhou Wei very uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but said: "These days, you haven't caught a single fish... Since you are here to fish, why don't you close the pole?"

Gu Qilin's response was simple.

Only one word.

"lazy."

He raised his eyebrows and said: "The fish in this artificial lake are all fed and cultivated by the Gu family's children. When I catch one, I have to catch another one... In this case, why waste your efforts? Once the fish bites the hook, it is considered to be caught. ,So be it."

When it came to the latter part, his interest waned.

Zhou Wei could tell.

Gu Qilin actually has no interest in fishing.

Just...killing time.

"I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy these days."

He sighed, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I always feel... something terrible is going to happen."

Gu Qilin sarcastically said: "Suspicious, what terrible things can happen?"

The only grand event these days.

It's nothing more than the so-called Fire Trial in Guangming City, but sitting in the position of the two elders, most of the things in this world can be seen at a glance. They know the temple's plan very well.

This trial is just a gimmick.

Can Xizhou really allow strangers to inherit the "Light Fire"?

it's out of the question.

"Speaking of which, did Nanfeng also go to Xizhou?" President Zhou Wei asked leisurely: "You don't seem to be too worried about him."

"I have no right to worry about him."

Gu Qilin said calmly: "Nanfeng is stronger, faster, and smarter than when I was young... Is my worry useful? This is their era. Now that they have retired, they should do what retired people should do Just keep fishing honestly, don’t cause trouble to those young people, don’t let them worry about me.”

President Zhou Wei couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"You are quite enlightened."

Zhou Wei asked: "You should be able to tell...for whom is this little guy Nanfeng crossing the west, right?"

"I'm not blind, I just turned a blind eye."

Gu Qilin glanced at Zhou Wei and said calmly: "Who hasn't been crazy when they were young? When I was young, I also pursued the Baroness of Beizhou. The waves in the East China Sea push the waves ahead. This boy Nanfeng is even more wild than I was back then. I appreciate that.”

"The relationship between Xizhou and Dongzhou is very bad now."

Zhou Wei reminded: "It is difficult for him and the Goddess of Light to come to an end."

"What does that have to do with you and me? Young people's affairs will naturally be resolved by them."

Gu Qilin was very open-minded, and he smiled and said: "Sometimes destiny has to be fulfilled, and destiny never requires force. Since Nanfeng is a member of the Gu family, it is always right to give this kind of thing a try... If the Goddess of Light Wouldn’t you welcome him if he’s willing to go back to Nagano with him?”

"Ah this."

Zhou Wei was stunned and said helplessly: "That must be welcome."

But, is this possible?

This idea was quickly put aside by him.

Gu Qilin was right. This was a matter for young people. Why should he think too much about it?

For most of his life, he had always felt that he was not as transparent as Gu Qilin.

Even after he stepped down as chairman of the Federal Security Council, he was still worried about the little things.

He couldn't really let go.

But...has Gu Qilin really given up?

"drop."

The two looked at each other, and at this moment, their spiritual seas received the message push from [Deep Sea]. After exiting the Nagano stage, their lives became extremely quiet, and [Deep Sea] would handle most of the trivial matters. .

The information that can be pushed to them is the top priority.

"It is the 'Red Lake Final Selection' of the Temple of Light..."

President Zhou Wei used his mental power to click on the link. He was not interested at first, but the next moment he was stunned.

Gu Qilin said lazily: "There's nothing interesting to see, so why not continue fishing."

The words fell to the ground.

Zhou Wei said a name in a hoarse voice: "Gu Shen."

The old man's eyes, which he had just closed, reopened.

"What did you say?"

Gu Qilin's somewhat cloudy eyes burst out with a brilliant light.

He quickly connected to [Deep Sea] and checked the message... The scene of the red lake in the Temple of Light was reflected in the lake in his heart.

Except for these two people from Gu's clan.

At this moment, those people scattered in Nagano.

Li Qingsui, Gao Tian, ​​Gong Zi, Mu Nan, Mu Ya, Bai Lu, Bai Chen, Bai Xiaochi...

Everyone.

Including Beizhou, Central City, border fortresses, various ministries and counties.

In the true sense, "everyone" has received this information push from the deep water area.

The final selection of Red Lake in the Temple of Light has attracted the attention of millions of people.

So all the extraordinary people in the five continents saw the face that had disappeared for six years and then reappeared.

Because of the sunset in Guangming City.

At this moment, the image in the deep water area was blurry, and there was a brief delay in the broadcast of the spiritual network. When the [lantern] released by the temple was burned by the fire, the image became clear. The entire sky was shrouded in fire clouds, looking gorgeous and lonely. .

I saw a huge hole in the sky burned by the fire——

The stars are shining, and the red lake reflects thousands of mottled lights, just like a dreamy land.

Two figures, one standing and one half-kneeling.

The really important thing today is not the final selection of Red Lake.

But the revenge of a "dead man".

…

…

The big bow is fully drawn.

Gu Shen shot out [Truth. Candle Extinguishing] without hesitation——

"boom!"

An extremely slight sound of sonic boom instantly tore through the void of the Red Lake.

The silver light of [Truth] penetrated and shattered the night covering the Red Lake.

Gu Shen condensed his mental power into an arrow and aimed it at Jia Wei's chest.

The speed of this arrow is too fast.

It was so fast that I couldn't catch it mentally. No one on the shore of the Red Lake caught the trajectory of [Candle Extinguishing Arrow]. At this time, the feedback from the visual and auditory was more direct.

Boom!

Everyone only heard an extremely dull knocking sound on the lake.

The arrow that shot through the void of the Red Lake originally flew close to the lake. The moment it hit Jia Wei's body, it suddenly changed its direction and shot vertically to the sky. The blazing clouds were pierced by the arrow, like a falling stone. Like a lake, the clouds in all directions spread into thousands of ripples, rippling and rippling again and again.

Only Gu Shen knew that the arrow was blocked.

Jia Wei's first field [Light Break] reunited at the critical moment, but this time it was not in the form of a gun.

Instead, it is a kite-shaped shield.

His own [Candle Extinguishing] arrow was perfectly blocked the moment it touched the shield, and then bounced away uncontrollably——

A powerful force intervened in his control of the [Candle-Extinguishing Arrow] and abruptly cut off the connection between himself and the [Candle-Extinguishing Arrow]!

That kite-shaped shield is not just a simple physical defense.

This was probably Jia Wei's second realm. From the simple touch just now, Gu Shen guessed that this was some kind of special spiritual commandment.

His "candle-extinguishing distant attack" is an arrow strike with spiritual power.

This was the first time it was bounced from the front.

"..."

Gu Shen's face was expressionless and he grasped the [Extinguish the Candle] again.

After the form of [Truth. Candle Extinguishing] was completely stabilized, countless mottled lights and shadows took over and covered the blazing vision.

From this moment on, Gu Shen's mental energy began to be consumed heavily.

In exchange...

He will possess the forbidden realm of [Achilles' Heel].

Under direct gaze, Gu Shen can clearly see the weaknesses of everything and find the best breaking point.

but……

After looking directly, Gu Shen frowned.

In the realm display of [Achilles' Heel], Jia Wei's whole body was shrouded in blazing light.

He appeared in front of Gu Shen with an "immaculate appearance" without any flaws!

[Achilles Heel] Scanned back and forth dozens of times, but the result is the same.

The only flaw is the kite-shaped shield that Jia Wei summoned the power of light and condensed briefly. However, the shield is not part of Jia Wei and can be dispersed at any time with a wave of his hand.

Ordinary people in this world, even if they practice to the extreme, cannot have "weaknesses", but if they are wrapped in a sealed object, it will be different.

After the war against Pluto ended, few people saw Jia Wei's face.

He hid himself under heavy armor.

In this way, it has been like this for decades.

Jia Wei has already integrated with [Mingguang Armor].

His physical body may be full of flaws, but the [Minglight Armor] covering his flesh and blood body at this moment is flawless.

It can be said……

This is a near perfect Paladin.

Seeing this scene, Gu Shen was surprised and silent for a short moment.

Just as he was about to draw his bow for the second time, the knight holding a shield on the lake officially launched a counterattack.

"Ding-deng-deng!"

Although he was wearing heavy armor, Jia Wei was incredibly fast.

His figure instantly disappeared above the lake.

Even though Gu Shen's mental power enveloped the entire Red Lake, he briefly lost his target at this moment.

A moment of trance.

Jia Wei stabbed Gu Shen in the back.

Gu Shen turned around and looked at Jia Wei carrying it with one hand at a very close distance with a gloomy expression.

The light-breaking spear regrouped, this time faster and more violent than before——

Gu Shen felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from Jia Wei.

This is a giant deer, black turtle, cloud tiger... put together, this is a feeling I have never experienced before!

Faced with this extremely short-distance attack, Gu Shen chose to attack boldly!

He turned around decisively and opened [Truth. Candle Extinguishing] for the second time——

There was a bang, but it was a dumb sound that stopped suddenly!

Jia Wei held a gun in one hand and a kite-shaped shield in the other, and once again completed a perfect block in a narrow space of less than ten meters. The [Candle Extinguishing Arrow] was bounced away and broke through the sky again!

Charge, charge, charge again!

Jia Wei's speed soared again in this extremely short distance. The entire red lake seemed to be boiling at this moment. Countless scarlet lights rose from the bottom of the lake and quickly circled the tip of the gun!

Gu Shen was shocked.

He felt Jia Wei's second realm...it was indeed an extremely powerful [Spiritual Commandment].

Under the blessing of strong spiritual will.

It seems that Jia Wei is not fighting alone, but leading thousands of troops to charge together!
