Barrier of Light

"Brother Gu, why are you looking for me?"

Mu Qingyang took another look.

The aura on Gu Shen's body...he confirmed it was correct, this was the eighth level of the deep sea.

"There is something, after much thought, I decided to come and inform Brother Qingyang."

Gu Shen took out Tang Ran's head. The head was completely frozen by ice slag and covered with several layers of ice inside and out... This was the power of his pure land realm.

"On the way here, I happened to meet Tang Ran..."

Gu Shen thought for a moment and said slowly: "This man was seriously injured and was running for his life. I seized the opportunity and killed him..."

In just two sentences, he downplayed the battle between himself and Tang Ran.

These two sentences made Mu Qingyang frown.

Behead?

Is it so easy to kill?

Even if Tang Ran was seriously injured, he was still a fourth-level person after all!

Gu Shen noticed the change in Mu Qingyang's expression and said with a smile: "The killing was purely coincidental. The important thing is later: I only discovered after killing Tang Ran that there was something 'unusual' about him. .”

"Something unusual?" Mu Qingyang looked at the head.

He is an extraordinary person in the attack department, and mental exploration is not his strong point.

With his mental power, when he observed the head, he could only see that...it was the head of a deceased person.

Well...the amount of information is so little.

"His spirit and transcendent essence show signs of being corroded."

Gu Shen took his time and explained slowly: "Feel carefully. Is the inside of his skull full of holes?"

Mu Qingyang's eyes immediately changed.

His expression became serious.

Yes...it's true!

"Is it a fragment of the sky sheath?"

As the Mu family's recommender, he reacted very quickly. After thinking for a few seconds, he came up with the answer.

"Exactly."

Gu Shen smiled and nodded. It seemed that Brother Qingyang was still smart.

He continued: "Tang Ran was able to escape from prison thanks to the 'Fragments of the Sky Sheath' that shattered the iron walls of the prison. But the fragments of the Sky Sheath broke more than just these... the fragments of the Sword in the Stone also stabbed him. !”

"I counted carefully. There are dozens of injuries, large and small, in Tang Ran's body... Although the fragments of the Stone Sword were pulled out and cleared by him, there is still residual power remaining in his body."

Gu Shen said seriously: "So I want to ask you, did you feel anything strange when you fought with him before?"

"This is indeed the case..."

Mu Qingyang did not hide anything, he murmured: "My shot should have killed Tang Ran directly, but there seemed to be an invisible vortex in his body... absorbing and dispersing all the source matter..."

Gu Shen smiled slightly: "That's right, it's the power of the Sky Sheath."

"Where's the broken body? Why didn't Brother Gu bring it back?" Mu Qingyang suddenly asked.

"The remaining power of the Stone Sword is very strong, and the remaining body has been damaged and is of little value." Gu Shen shook his head regretfully.

Of course Gu Shen would not bring that broken body back.

His blazing fire swallowed up all the remaining extraordinary essence in Tang Ran's body... Calculated based on the return speed of the extraordinary essence, the essence on this corpse will not dissipate in just a few hours. If it is removed, Bringing it back will not only fail to provide effective information, but will also cause unnecessary misleading to other people.

Gu Shen only brought back this head to prove the corrosion damage of the sky sheath fragment.

That's enough.

"So... it's a pity." Mu Qingyang also felt regretful.

"Brother Qingyang, please accept this head."

Gu Shen suddenly handed over the head and said sincerely: "I met Tang Ran on the road. He was at the end of his strength. He was a dying fish and couldn't live much longer... This killing achievement should be attributed to You."

The words spoken by the Mu clan's disciples who were patrolling near the camp could not escape Mu Qingyang's induction, and they certainly could not escape Gu Shen's induction.

This time, Nagano has posted a reward system.

There are different rewards for completing the "capture" and "killing" of jailbreakers. Depending on the level and strength of the target object...the rewards after completing the task also change.

These meritorious deeds can be exchanged for valuable things within the three institutes and five great families——

Whether it's breathing techniques or sealed objects, Nagano will never treat those extraordinary people badly who have made meritorious contributions.

However, Gu Shen really didn't care about these achievements.

He already has no shortage of good fortune and no need for any breathing method sealed objects.

He doesn't really like the resources that can be redeemed within the three institutes and five major families... After all, he is the future Pluto, and few things that Gu Shen really values ​​​​can be redeemed with meritorious deeds.

For him, the more important thing... was to unite on the front line and complete this "exploration mission" with Mu Qingyang.

If you can get Mu Qingyang's favor by giving away Tang Ran's head, quickly build a good relationship, and build trust - then this deal will be very profitable!

"Brother Gu..."

There was silence in the camp for a moment.

Mu Qingyang slowly shook his head, looked at Gu Shen, and asked, "What do you think I am?"

Gu Shen was stunned.

There should be no problem with his own words...Does Mu Qingyang not care at all about his own meritorious service?

"Since you were the one who killed me, this meritorious service should be yours."

Mu Qingyang said word by word: "If I, Mu Qingyang, want to earn merit, I will go and fight... Please accept this head. This kind of gift is an insult to me."

"..."

Gu Shen was unusually silent.

This was the first time he saw Mu Qingyang.

During the previous meeting to draw up the list, the Mu family's recommendation of this young man caused a lot of controversy. None of the senior officials in Nagano had heard of this powerful genius from Jiuning.

Now, his impression of Mu Qingyang has changed.

This man is, as his name suggests, upright and upright.

"Brother Gu, I heard that you were lucky enough to meet Mr. Gu Changzhi during the Battle of the Cemetery."

Mu Qingyang suddenly made a digression and asked seriously: "Is this true?"

Everyone in the five continents knows it.

Gu Shen is Qianye's disciple, and Qianye has been stationed at Qingzhong for twenty years, just to wait for Gu Changzhi to wake up.

Although the outside world still doesn’t know the relationship between the two——

But everyone believes that Mr. Gu Changzhi and Master Qianye, if not lifelong partners, are at least... confidants who understand each other well.

In the battle at the cemetery, Bai Shu took over the fire of fighting and climbed to the top to become a god.

As a disciple of Qianye, Gu Shen was the only "lucky person" in Nagano who saw Gu Changzhi.

Mu Qingyang's question brought back Gu Shen's memories.

He was silent for several seconds and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Not bad."

"I regard Mr. Gu Changzhi as a benchmark in my life." Mu Qingyang straightened his back and said slowly: "In these years, I stayed away from Nagano and fought in Jiuning because Mr. Gu Changzhi traveled far away at this age. Outside, fight and gain experience.”

A brief pause.

Mu Qingyang said: "My biggest wish is that if Mr. Gu Changzhi wakes up in the cemetery one day, I can go to Nagano to meet him."

Gu Shen understood the reason why he asked this before.

I am indeed a lucky man.

Some people dwell on things they have never accomplished in their entire lives.

I, under the arrangement of fate, obtained it easily.

"If Mr. Gu Changzhi knew that there was a junior like you, he would be very happy." Gu Shen said sincerely.

"I hope so."

There was no smile on Mu Qingyang's face, but he continued to say seriously: "I have no chance to meet Gu Shenzuo in this life, and I am not as lucky as you. But since practicing, Mu has been involved in every task he has encountered, big or small. There is no defect, the conduct is upright, the uprightness is upright..."

Hearing this, Gu Shen probably understood what Mu Qingyang was going to say.

He had a headache.

"Brother Gu has good luck and the blessing of Mr. Gu Changzhi, so don't do such things again in the future." Mu Qingyang stretched out his hand and made a gesture of seeing off guests.

really.

Giving away this head also gave away trouble.

According to his own description, it is only natural that Tang Ran's achievements should be attributed to Mu Qingyang!

If he didn't say anything, no one would conduct an autopsy, so who would find out?

But Mu Qingyang didn’t want it!

Gu Shen was a little helpless, looking at the unsmiling young man in front of him... Are there really such stubborn, stubborn heads in this world?

"Brother Gu, I'm going to practice." Mu Qingyang said calmly, "Please do what you want."

Gu Shen had no choice but to hold his head and leave the camp.

After night fell in the snowy field, everything was pitch black. Two "bonfires" were lit in the camp. One on the left and one on the right, two palm-sized copper lanterns were hung. They looked very similar to the bronze lanterns in Li's ancient ancestral hall. They were probably similar. A replica, but it only has the basic function of lighting and keeping out the cold.

These two "bonfires" burned the source material and enveloped the square camp that was only tens of meters long.

A cold wind blew.

Gu Shen's original depressed mood eased a little.

He squinted his eyes and subconsciously looked towards the dark night in the distance... After breaking through, Blazing Fire's "mental induction range" expanded again.

Gu Shen frowned.

After the layers of snow-capped mountains and dark nights, there should have been endless darkness.

But I saw wisps of "strange light" behind dozens of layers of blizzard.

Like human eyes.

…

…

Dozens of miles away.

On the top of a short snow mountain, the wind howled, and several figures stood in the blizzard.

One, two, three, four, a total of four.

"Brother, that young man...is he looking at us?"

One person's voice was hoarse, and his pupils were straight and erect, like a cat's monster.

"impossible."

The man standing at the front was extremely tall and burly. He was covered in tattered black linen with blood stains all over his body. The pale whiteness of the blizzard was dotted with spots of scarlet on the black linen.

He stood on top of the blizzard, looking at the makeshift camp with an expressionless face. His eyes were fixed on the two bonfires lit in the dark night, and he gave an extremely firm answer.

"Hey... that's just a third-level transcendent. How could his range of spiritual perception extend to here?"

Next to the leader, and slightly behind, is a rickety figure with a cat-waist support. It can be seen from his position that he is the second-ranked figure in this group of people. He was also wearing a jet-black linen robe stained with blood, blowing wildly in the strong wind, but his temperament was completely different from the previous one.

The leader gives people a sense of darkness, majesty, and tall taboo.

And he.

It gives people a gloomy, strange, and dirty feeling. This cat-waisted man exudes wet invisible bad luck... It makes people subconsciously want to stay away, and the other two in this "brother group" do. This was done, they all stood on the other side of the leader, far away from the second-in-command.

"That camp was temporarily set up, and the strongest one is a young fourth-level man named Mu Qingyang..."

Among the four, the one who looked the most normal spoke slowly.

The center of his eyebrows shone with silver light.

[Episode of the Source], this is a very useful ability with a high awakening rate!

It's just that his silver eyes are different from others. The silver light is mixed with a lot of red, like amber that has been poured into blood and then solidified.

This vertical pupil looks very strange.

The silver-eyed transcendent said slowly: "This is Nagano's 'Vanguard Exploration Team'. They want to plunder the tundra bit by bit..."

The tundra is huge.

But if the exploration team advances...

Well, the tundra is actually not that big.

"Mu Qingyang, I've heard about this bullshit genius who was sent to the fringe area by the Mu family to be cultivated in Jiu Ning. At that time, he was just a kid with second-level strength."

The cat-waisted man laughed coldly.

Then, his eyes became a little dazed, and he murmured with emotion: "Unknowingly, so many years have passed..."

He took a deep, hard breath.

Then spit it out.

The snow-white mist, like two little dragons, was inhaled into his lungs. After a burst of smoke, what came out was extremely filthy air... This scene caused the displeasure of the third and fourth sons. The two knew this. The guy was so toxic that he quickly covered his mouth and nose.

The leader frowned and looked at the second child coldly.

"I'm sorry...Boss Yuan, I haven't tasted freedom for a long time. For a moment, I can't help myself."

Sensing the unkind gaze, the latter quickly apologized to the leader.

He immediately puffed up his cheeks, pointed at the void in front of him again, took a big breath, and sucked back all the turbid breath in an instant!

But this time, he took out a "snuff bottle", pointed it at his nose, and sprayed all the twice-contaminated gas into the snuff bottle.

Spray smoke in reverse direction.

This picture is very strange.

What's even more weird is that this little snuff bottle actually contained all the dirty gases, only a very small amount invisible to the naked eye spilled out. After it spilled out, it was wrapped in the wind and snow and scattered.

Every extraordinary person who enters the tundra prison will be deprived of extraordinary objects.

But the body of this snuff bottle has been cracked and has extremely old frost marks... This was an object that the cat-waisted man had buried in the tundra before he was imprisoned. He also did not expect that one day he would use it in such a way. leave.

But the old items from many years ago are now of great use.

"..."

The extraordinary man with silver eyes did not hide the look of disgust in his eyes. He no longer looked at the poisonous ghost over there, but asked seriously: "Boss Yuan, what should we do now? Someone has issued a summons order. ', I hope we can gather at the Frozen Lake in the tundra to discuss how to fight against encirclement and suppression..."

The fourth child sneered at this: "You don't really believe in the summons order, do you? Don't you think about who is the person who issued the summons order? The former adjudicator... If he is an undercover agent, I don't doubt it. !”

"It was possible for Han Dang in the past." The silver-eyed transcendent shook his head and said sarcastically: "But now, it's impossible. This year in [Snow Cage], he has become no different from a madman. It can't be a show... There are many people who are willing to follow him, and there are people with titles in the frozen lake, so maybe it is really possible to organize a force to resist the encirclement and suppression."

At this moment, the leader spoke again: "You can't go to the frozen lake."

The extraordinary man with silver eyes immediately fell silent.

He was not convinced by others, but he was convinced by Boss Yuan.

This is one of the top ten ruthless characters on the [Snow Cage] high-risk list!

"The entire [Snow Cage] prisoners, together, cannot fight against the coalition forces of Nagano and Central City. Since you choose to escape and become a rat, you must have the consciousness to become a rat... If you hide in the frozen lake, the final outcome will be only There is a possibility of being killed."

Boss Yuan's voice was hoarse and he said slowly: "What's more, is it really a good thing to have a title there?"

He stretched out a hand and held down the head of the poisonous ghost who was swallowing the clouds. The first half of the sentence was gentle, and the second half was cold: "The biggest fear of people is the unknown. How can we refuse to obey in the face of a power that far exceeds our own? ?Poison ghost...that's almost enough."

With the word enough.

He reached out and turned.

Click——

The poisonous ghost's head was twisted 360 degrees, and the cat-like eyes with vertical pupils were shrunk to the extreme.

But after Boss Yuan let go, his neck snapped again and he curled up even more. The first thing he did was to put away the snuff bottle and hold his breath.

"So?" The Silver Eyed Extraordinary asked seriously.

"Kill over and kill everyone in that camp."

"I heard that Nagano specially elected so-called young leaders..." Boss Yuan said lightly: "If you leave the pursuit of snow cage criminals to young people, they will have the consciousness to be slaughtered in turn. I don't like that Mu Qingyang doesn't like Gu Shen either, so let's kill these two tonight... As for the other extraordinary beings, they can be used to transfer the curse of the 'Sky Sheath Fragments' to you."

After hearing the fragments and curses of the Sky Sheath, the three of them were obviously excited!

"Alas!"

The poisonous ghost held the snuff bottle, and his originally pale and languid expression became very excited. He took the lead to pounce, screamed strangely, and flew towards the snow-capped mountains with a scream. The snuff bottle spewed out a large amount of bloody red smoke behind him. It turned into blood-colored bat wings and turned sharply at the moment it was about to hit the ground, sliding out almost parallel to the ground.

The other two people also jumped off the cliff.

The snow and wind are strong.

The fishy smell surged.

The leader watched all this quietly. He did not move or act in a hurry. Instead, he stared at the destination of tonight's massacre from a distance of more than ten miles.

He discovered that the third-level transcendent named Gu Shen didn't seem to move.

From the beginning to the end of the conversation.

The young man had been looking in the direction where he was.
