Barrier of Light

Xu Yan stood in the open space of the snowfield.

Where he originally stood, there was a snow mountain, but... in the "rumbling" sound of the snow tide, the snow mountain was flattened bit by bit.

It is unimaginable that this snow mountain collapsed just because it was hit by the black fire from the tip of the big umbrella.

How powerful is this?

The power of that "umbrella" really exceeded Xu Yan's knowledge!

In his understanding, although the abilities of high-level extraordinary sealed objects are powerful, they often consume a lot of energy... Everything has its price, this is an inevitable "iron law".

And how much energy does it cost to use this umbrella once?

Why does it look like... it looks like it can fire a second shot at any time?

Xu Yan looked at the goddess in ancient sacrificial attire not far away, holding a black umbrella. He was more concerned about the "extraordinary power" in her body than her delicate face and the faintly perfect outline under her sacrificial robes.

Xu Yan tried to test the mysterious second divination master with his spiritual power, hoping to find out the depth of the other person's aura.

Unfortunately, he failed.

This woman is simply like an illusory and false existence.

Xu Yan couldn't sense the existence of any extraordinary aura in her body.

Just when Xu Yan was thinking...

Without warning.

The black umbrella opened again!

Once again...aimed at myself!

The moment I opened my umbrella, there seemed to be black petal embers dancing wildly in the wind and snow!

"boom!"

A beam of light directly broke through the blizzard, piercing Xu Yan's chest, shattering his chest, and piercing his back. He coughed up a large mouthful of blood, his pupils were bloodshot, and he lowered his head in disbelief, watching this scene...

How can it be? !

Compared with the previous blow, this time the black umbrella is more like locking its own "point kill"!

The speed is outrageous!

From opening the umbrella to the light beam shooting through him...it seemed to only take a millisecond! Even faster!

…

…

"escape!"

The moment the black umbrella opened, it was also the moment the beam of light directly penetrated Xu Yan. Chu Ling didn't hesitate at all, directly grabbed Shen Li and started running away.

Shen Li was still in a state of confusion.

He originally thought that the other party asking about his recovery... meant that he was going to launch a desperate attack and needed his cooperation!

But I never expected it.

In just a moment, Xu Yan was shot through the body!

And the next moment...the woman in front of me is going to take him and escape for her life?

Before I could say anything.

A hand grasped his back collar... When Shen Li was caught, he realized that this hand was by no means as "gentle" as it seemed.

A "whoosh" sound!

The two disappeared from the spot.

It was only at this moment that Shen Li finally understood Chu Ling's true intention in asking about his physical condition.

Because he was moving too fast, he felt as if his body and soul were about to be separated... The strong wind on the snowfield was like a knife, tearing at his body. The skin that had begun to heal itself was now cut open again. , dozens of densely packed small wounds were opened, and blood gushed out like small insects.

"hiss……"

Intense pain surged into Tianling, and he couldn't help but take a breath.

From the beginning, the intention of opening an umbrella... was just to escape?

Shen Li looked back at the distance in the blizzard. In the direction he came from, Xu Yan was nailed into a snowy mountain, triggering a second avalanche... It seemed that the blow just now almost killed him!

"It's still far from killing him."

As if he had the ability to read minds, Chu Ling spoke.

"For other extraordinary beings in the same realm, the blow just now was already a sure kill. But he is different. He has the token of Dionysus."

Shen Li gritted his teeth, his eyes a little unwilling.

"Actually... I can take action. My injury is not a big problem."

He had never truly seen the power of God.

The understanding of "tokens" is naturally very limited.

After choosing to escape, Shen Li felt that it would be a pity not to take advantage of the situation just now and pursue the victory.

"No, your injury is a big problem."

Chu Ling glanced back and said seriously: "Although the flesh wounds have been repaired, the mental problem has not been solved yet. You have been poisoned by the soul toxin of the spiritual ability 'Poisonous Scorpion'. If you don't find a place for treatment, you will die." If you drag it on like this... you might die."

Shen Li looked a little pale.

"The poisonous scorpion...is Xu Yan's ability?"

No wonder he felt increasingly tired after escaping.

"Yes, to be precise, it is one of the abilities." Chu Ling said calmly.

"one?"

Shen Li was startled.

Are there really people in this world who can possess more than one extraordinary ability?

"Xu Yan's ability is 'Fire Stealer'."

Chu Ling said slowly: "With the cultivation of Dionysus and the resources of the Tower of Source, he may have mastered twenty abilities or more over the years... No matter where he goes, he can use these powers. , because Xu Yan himself is a humanoid pedigree carrying a lot of extraordinary abilities."

"The Fire Thief..."

Of course Shen Li has heard of this ability!

After the Extraordinary Genealogy Chart divided the abilities into three major series...it was the emergence of the Fire Stealer that allowed the Federation to roughly divide abilities again and put forward the concept of "trait lines".

Because the Fire Thief is so special.

It is rumored that the Fire Thief can steal and copy the power of other extraordinary beings!

Whether it is the natural system, the attack system, or the spiritual system... the fire thief can be reproduced!

"No wonder he was able to obtain an 'S-level' rating..."

"No wonder he can recreate fire similar to Brother Gu..."

Shen Li murmured.

All confusions were answered at this moment.

"boom!!!"

The next moment, a loud and earth-shaking sound burst out from the snow tide of the collapsed snow mountain behind.

A dazzling purple light shot into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a figure of burning purple light floated and locked onto the two of them.

Shen Li's expression changed drastically.

Obviously... Chu Ling's judgment was correct. Xu Yan might be injured, but he would never die.

At this moment, a cylindrical wound on his chest was slowly shrinking.

"Miracles" are taking place.

As an apostle blessed by Dionysus, he would never die under such an attack!

Xu Yan stared at the two fleeing in the distance with a cold expression.

He took a deep breath.

Grab the grape token!

A ray of purple light pulled upwards and swept towards Chu Ling's position.

"Hold your breath and hold on to your body."

Chu Ling spoke softly and said this lightly.

She also saw the purple light rising into the sky.

Just as he expected... the lethality burst out from the Flame Demon Umbrella was completely blocked by Xu Yan's "Apostle's Power".

This blow.

Whether one consumes one black flower or one black flower, there is no difference in the result.

Xu Yan's power that exceeds his own "limit" will be completely stopped by the blessing of the "Dionysian Seat".

This mere black flower is not enough to shake the apostle's divine power.

So... Chu Ling didn't try his best.

She was still holding half a black flower in her palm. At this moment, black light continued to flow from the edges of the petals. The collapsed order turned into extraordinary source matter. The speed of the two of them accelerated again!

With a "buzzing" sound in his ears, Shen Li felt that this time, his spirit was truly separated from his physical body!

He felt the boundless cold pouring into his body!

Just for a moment.

A layer of frost formed on the tips of his brows, hair, and cheeks. The next moment, the frost piled up and produced ice slag... At this speed, it would only take three or four seconds for his body to turn into a snowman, and his spirit would also He was frozen to "silence" and died!

Chu Ling noticed this scene.

She is a divine fetus, able to feel the coldness of the world, but will not suffer frostbite.

The damage caused by such high-speed travel is nothing...but Shen Li is different.

If this continues, Shen Li will freeze to death before the "poisonous scorpion"'s mental poison takes effect.

So she controlled the black flower and separated a part of the extraordinary source to protect the "fragile" body beside her.

There is something dramatic about this scene.

In fact, the physical body of [Iron Eater] is very domineering.

After the completion, this iron body is not afraid of all "body refiners" of the same level!

But Shen Li is currently at a low level, and his iron body is still far from being a great achievement... So in a battle of this level, this body is just a fragile white paper that can be broken by a poke, so it needs to be carefully protected.

The fluorescence flowing from the black flowers enveloped Shen Li.

After dozens of seconds, he finally regained consciousness.

The little iron man's teeth chattered and he shivered: "Thank you..."

He paused mid-sentence.

Obviously he didn't know the name of the woman in front of him, or how to address her.

"Chu Ling."

Chu Ling burned the black flower and distanced himself from the purple light behind him, and spoke in response.

Shen Li's teeth chattered with frost on his face. He looked back and asked, "Thank you, Miss Chu... where should we go now?"

The original Qingzhong Cemetery was shrouded in this disaster!

It's frozen here, with thousands of miles of snow falling.

Even if he escapes, where can he escape to?

In despair, Shen Li suddenly realized that... there were still several people with titles entering the cemetery.

"This disaster realm is actually generated corresponding to the 'Cemetery'. So even the virtual realm has an invisible map, but... no one has figured out the rules yet."

When Chu Ling spoke, she seemed to use her "mind-reading skills" to read Shen Li's thoughts again: "The title in the cemetery is definitely unreliable, so they don't have to count on it."

Shen Li was slightly startled.

Before he could ask "why".

Chu Ling calmly explained: "The rules in this cemetery teleport different people to different locations... in order to keep the disaster situation of the cemetery intact to the greatest extent. I guess the ultimate purpose of establishing the rules is Let the 'disaster' be complete. In order to maintain the greatest integrity, there is a high probability that characters with title levels will be moved to a more internal place."

In fact, she has been in the cemetery for some time.

As soon as he entered the Golden Gate, he was separated from the little girl Li Qingsui.

After entering the mausoleum, she tried to look for Li Qingsui. As a result, the cemetery was deserted and silent, shrouded in snow... Not to mention looking for Li Qingsui, not even a single figure could be seen!

Because the signal was blocked, [Deep Sea] has been unable to know the specific situation of the cemetery.

But when Chu Ling entered the mausoleum in person, the situation was different.

She walks in the snowfield.

The [source code] at the bottom of the deep sea began to operate silently, deducing... using huge computing power to simulate the unknown "disaster rules" in this cemetery!

And the final conclusion was that... the Gu Shen, the mausoleum guard, and Li Qingsui she was looking for might all be deep in the cemetery!

Although Li Qingsui's cultivation level is low.

But there is something about her that no one else has... and that is the "Family Head's Token" that symbolizes the supreme status of the "Five Families"!

For six hundred years, the five major families, which have always followed certain ancient etiquette, have always paid great attention to the dignity of status.

This can be seen from the installation of a nameplate in the Presbyterian church hall.

The "order" that the five people are committed to building.

It’s the order of “name”!

Every family head who has been rectified and recognized will have a token... It is an extremely important thing, symbolizing the long history of the five families. It is passed down from generation to generation. Even if there are wars, it has never been lost.

Before Li Qihu died, he naturally passed this token to his daughter.

This is actually the reason why those in the Presbyterian Church wanted to knock Li Qingsui down after impeaching him!

If Li Qingsui is impeached.

Then whoever is the new head of the family...must have this token!

In Qingzhong Cemetery... the role of the family head's token is no longer the so-called "name".

This is a resting place for the dead.

All dead people are equal.

No matter how powerful you are in front of you, you will remain a ghost after your death.

"Name" loses its role here.

The original Qingzhong Cemetery was able to be established... In fact, it was approved by all the powerful people in the five families before it could be built.

The five family head tokens played a vital role.

Because the place where Mr. Gu Changzhi sleeps is the "Colossus Ruins". Six hundred years ago, the ancestors of the five families came to Nagano and began their "rise" here... The five family head tokens of the five families actually contain Containing five strands of primitive blood power, they can each resonate and tremble with one of the ruins of the Colossus.

The bloodline of the Gong family is related to the "ancient god" Garuda!

As for everyone else...

Because the fog shrouding the ruins of the Colossus is too great, almost no one knows... the bloodline secrets of the five families.

People who have the tokens of the heads of the five major families are likely to be transported to the "Inner Tomb"?

This is the conclusion reached by the [Deep Sea] derivation calculation... It does not represent the truth, but it represents the possibility under extremely high probability.

"We are going to the 'Inner Tomb' now."

Chu Ling spoke calmly.

Shen Li had heard of the "Inner Tomb". To him, before the big explosion, it was the most mysterious place in the cemetery, shrouded in fog all day long.

No one can enter without the permission of the tomb keeper.

But now...

Even a fool knows that something must have happened to Master Qianye when Qingzuka is like this.

"Inner mausoleum..."

Shen Li raised a very important question: "Is the Bacchus Seat... located in the inner tomb?"

He is a martial artist, not a fool.

Being able to single-handedly turn the cemetery into this...

Judging from the current situation, there is only the Dionysian seat.

"yes."

Chu Ling lowered his eyes slightly. This was one of the few results that could be determined after [Deep Sea] made some calculations.

The seat of Dionysus must be in the inner mausoleum!

"If you are afraid of entering the inner mausoleum, I can find an uninhabited place and put you down." Chu Ling said softly: "Xu Yan's target should have changed to me... Maybe you can take this opportunity to escape."

"Ah……"

Shen Li shook his head.

"Miss Chu, you are... looking down on me too much."

The little iron man smiled weakly and said: "I, Shen Li, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I would like to see the rumored throne and then spit on it. Besides... his condition is also very bad, isn't it?"

If Dionysus could appear, why would there be so much trouble?

Those who deserve to be killed can be wiped out by God with just one thought!

Unexpected answer.

Chu Ling was silent for a while.

She subconsciously thinks for others, still following the logic of [Deep Sea]. [Source Code] can simulate the correct choices for many things, but it cannot simulate successful "humanity"... If it is controlled by [Deep Sea] Shen Li, then it must be the best choice to separate from yourself and escape at this moment.

After a moment of silence.

She couldn't help but laugh.

This is the beauty of this place...a world that cannot be simulated by data or predicted by code.

The purple light behind him was getting closer and closer to him.

The burning of black flowers is approaching the end.

Only a small broken stem remained, emitting a dark and deep glow.

Chu Ling took a deep breath.

She crashed towards the "inner mausoleum" place deduced by [Deep Sea]. In the distance was a towering snow mountain, covered by hundreds of meters of thick fog... Under the high-speed impact, the boundless fog and clouds were shattered. Come on.

Shen Li clicked his teeth.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and he felt the slap of layers of snow and mist, as if there was some forbidden power blocking him from entering the inner tomb... After crashing into the snowy mountain, there was no "broken" feeling as imagined.

There is no pain either.

Just crashed into the boundless darkness.

The extreme chill penetrated into the bone marrow!

Darkness surges and light looms.

Far, far away, he seemed to see circles of golden threads winding around the distance, where towering statues and mountains stood!

And in front of the mountain mausoleum... he seemed to see a familiar figure sitting cross-legged, surrounded by countless array pattern drawings.

The drawings were engraved with obscure and complex symbols.

One after another, the thin and fragile paper bodies were connected to form a huge ring-shaped wall, as if the entire world was being gathered into a tornado with light.

"Brother Gu..."

Shen Li recognized that figure.

He felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

In the dark.

The figure felt something in the dark and raised its head.

Gu Shen was a little confused.

After the great cold disaster came, the entire cemetery was covered. Only the place where I was, because the "mausoleum guardians" tried their best to protect me, had the last peace and could not be shrouded by the great cold disaster.

But outside the formation surrounding him, there was darkness.

At this moment, Gu Shen looked towards the darkness in the distance.

In his eyes, there was surprise, confusion, astonishment, disbelief... countless complex emotions included in them.

Because he saw the person he was least likely to see.

next moment.

His eyes instantly turned gloomy.

Because in the darkness, a wisp of purple light swept out, and a palm wrapped in the iron wind, slapped Chu Ling hard on the back of the heart!

Gu Shen suddenly stood up.

Along with a loud sound, thousands of formation drawings flew away!

"Xu Yan, you dare!"
