Barrier of Light

"Who are you?!"

Shadow had never seen anything like this.

Even those extraordinary beings whose spiritual realm is stronger than him should not be like this.

All black!

It’s so dark that it makes one’s heart palpitate!

"who I am……"

Gu Shen smiled softly.

Instead of answering the question directly, he asked: "Do you really want to know?"

The Holy Book Ancient House area in Area W4, as well as the entire mansion, are blocked by blazing fire... There will be no spiritual power leaking here. In other words, the shadow cannot transmit signals here.

This is their "alone time".

"The aura on your body is sinister and deep, and you look sinful..."

Shadow stared at Gu Shen for a long time, and he silently grasped the two daggers that slipped out of his sleeves.

"You are not a good thing."

Gu Shen was noncommittal about this evaluation.

Shadow narrowed his eyes.

The shadow under the eaves is like ink and cannot be dispersed.

He is an assassin lurking in the shadows. He hides in the night all year round and works with the darkness!

But even he felt afraid and disgusted by the "darkness" carried by the person in front of him!

Wait... fear, disgust?

Shadow suddenly thought of a possibility, and he raised his head in shock: "Are you the apostle of Hades?!"

"Ah……"

Gu Shen smiled.

He shook his head slowly, "I guessed very close, but I guessed wrong...guess again."

"Guess again?!"

Shadow was stunned for a second. If he wasn't an apostle of Hades... who could he be? !

He didn't have much time to think!

"boom!"

Gu Shen, who was standing under the eaves, took action as soon as he spoke. The moment he asked the shadow to guess his identity, he was ready to kill and destroy the corpse!

This is a punch at extremely close range!

Shadow reacted quickly. He pulled out his two swords, turned out two rounds of blades, raised them suddenly, and aimed at Gu Shen's fist to perform a cross cut——

"Dang Dang" two crisp sounds——

Gu Shen's Pure Land Domain covered his fist, and it hit the intersection of the two blades of "Broken Source" and "Tear" in such a simple way. These two special blades contained extremely strong killing power. , directly chopped "Big Frost Snow" into pieces!

Suddenly, ice chips flew everywhere!

The next moment, he was burned by high temperature!

The blazing fire spread, and a large amount of mist filled the courtyard!

After drawing out the sword, the shadow instantly swept back. He was shocked and extremely surprised.

"Two completely different realms of power?"

Shadow has never seen such a weird power. Normal extraordinary people will realize a complete realm, then advance to the fourth level, and then slowly comprehend the second realm... And this second realm often relies on Above the former!

For example, the Suzaku Divine Envoy just now has the first realm [Fire Giant] and the second realm [Living Fire Body]. These two realms are interdependent and mutually successful!

This is the first time in Shadow's life that he has seen the power of two completely different domains appear in one person!

"boom……"

Amidst the roar of explosions, Shadow drew out his sword to parry a punch, then stepped back several steps, barely standing still.

Gu Shen, on the other hand, took a step forward, punched him, stood back up, and once again hid his figure in the darkness under the eaves.

The two looked at each other dozens of meters apart, one at this end of the courtyard and the other at the other end of the courtyard.

"This person is so powerful... I should know him!"

Shadow's brows furrowed as he desperately recalled the files of important figures on this mission to the south in his mind.

This guy is definitely not a nobody.

The fourth-level experts who have comprehended the two realms...should be recorded in the files. Why don't I have any impression?

Related to Pluto, is this a Dongzhou person?

Chen no, no, that’s not right.

White sleeves, that’s not right either…

Cold sweat broke out on Shadow's forehead.

Of the three fourth-level leaders in Dongzhou, only one is left...Gu Shen, according to rumors, his ability is "blazing fire", an S-level spiritual power. If it is S-level, it will not cause any changes. point.

He vaguely guessed the answer, and this time, the dark shadow under the eaves looked at him, seemingly smiling.

At this moment, the two of them were standing far apart.

This guy doesn't seem to be strict about guarding himself.

Just after the battle with Suzaku, my spirit and physical strength were no longer at their peak. If I fight again, it will probably be a disaster...

Thinking of this, Shadow had a thought of retreating in his heart.

It's just that the killer's instinct told him that at this moment, he must not escape. If he didn't escape, there would still be a chance to kill him... If he wanted to escape, he would probably die!

"Gu Shen?"

Shadow took a deep breath.

He was ready to fight to the death with the mysterious man in front of him, but after grasping the two swords, he lowered his voice and shouted tentatively.

"..."

In the darkness of the eaves, of course there would be no response.

The courtyard was silent.

In fact, it was not as simple as it seemed when Shadow called out Gu Shen's name.

This is not a temptation——

It’s a kind of signaling!

This entire island is under the supervision of [Tide]!

Shadow knew that his "spirit" had been cut off, and he also knew that if he chose to fight to the death, he would probably die in this small courtyard!

He may not be able to send effective messages to Su Ye.

So the only thing he can rely on now——

It’s the Church of Storms!

It's a pity that Gu Shen has been "fully prepared" for a long time.

He placed a wisp of Hell Fire on top of this small courtyard, and the monitoring of [Tide] authority will also be restricted. Under the same level of authority, [Tide] will directly ignore this place.

The sage Kadhi could not hear anything.

Gu Shen slowly walked out from the darkness of the eaves. He no longer concealed his face, aura, and identity.

"It's really you..."

Shadow's heart trembled.

At the same time, the ominous premonition in his heart increased to the extreme.

Showing your true colors means... what follows is a fight to the death!

"it's me."

Gu Shen said calmly: "How do you want to die?"

"Tear it apart!"

What responded to him was a burst of bright silver sword light!

Start by breaking the source.

Shadow did not choose to retreat. He followed his inner guidance and chose to fight back. His choice was correct, because the "Pure Land" had completely enveloped this small courtyard. As long as Shadow had the desire to avoid war and wanted to escape, the consequences would be only one.

die!

certainly.

The choice now... is actually the same.

Gu Shen chuckled, swaying slightly, perfectly dodging the knife, and then pressed it out with one palm.

"Buzz buzz-"

The source of destruction failed, and the second "tearing" blade specializing in matter slashed at Gu Shen's forearm!

clang!

Gold and iron are splashing!

There are some substances in this world that are extremely difficult to destroy.

For example, the "nameless iron" that Gu Shen brought out from the bottom of the tundra tomb, Shadow's unexpected knife, carrying the "tearing" quality, slashed on the forearm attached to the [Iron Throne], but it only made a dull and crisp sound!

In the end, Gu Shen was unscathed, but a corner of his sleeve was chopped into pieces!

From the very beginning, Shadow had no chance of winning this duel!

Under the black clothes, aside from the "iron scale skin" covering his whole body, Gu Shen also wore the sixth-level source armor presented by Beizhou... This can resist the frontal explosion of [child], comparable to the explosive power of a title level. Top protective gear!

At ordinary level 4, it is simply impossible to break through the defense!

"boom!"

Gu Shen forcefully carried the shadow's two swords to chop, and took a step forward in such an unpretentious manner.

Accumulate your strength and punch!

The punch made a loud noise like a cannonball, hitting the latter's lower abdomen directly, causing the shadow to bend over and fly backwards. His back hit the small courtyard, the courtyard wall collapsed, and green frost filled the air.

The frost and snow formed a big circle!

This is the domain application that Gu Shen realized after the battle with Suzaku in Beiling——

Since the Nanli position card can form a bond, then your own "pure land" can do the same!

Before the battle began, the deep courtyard of the mansion in Area W4 had been completely enveloped by Gu Shen's "Pure Land" domain, turning it into a perfect closed-loop duel arena!

"You can't escape."

Gu Shen said calmly: "If you want to live... you have to work hard. Give it a try, maybe there is a little chance."

He stretched out his palm and hooked it, signaling the shadow to stand up.

Gu Shen has never been merciful towards this kind of enemy. On ordinary days, he would kill him with one blow.

But now he is in the breaking stage.

Although there are many Level 4 opponents, high-quality life and death battles are hard to find.

The shadow assassin who believes in light should be able to explode with considerable power once he goes all out. If the shadow's will to live is strong enough, it should be able to help him "break through".

"Ahhhh——"

There was a surge of anger in Shadow's heart. He was the most appreciated genius assassin in the temple. When had he ever encountered such humiliation?

Po Yuan is held upside down and cuts in a circle instantly.

The "chill" surrounding him was shattered in an instant!

He stepped on the frost and snow, bursting out with incredible speed, and instantly slashed out nearly a hundred sword lights with his two swords——

"Crack, click, click!"

The light of the sword was like a butterfly turning over flowers. Gu Shen clasped his hands behind his back and retreated calmly, frowning slightly at the same time.

He gave up other means of attack and only used "Blazing Fire" to fight against the enemy!

A wisp of flames, outlined in the air according to his will, flew with the light of the sword coming out of the shadow!

Suddenly, the light of swords and blazing fire danced in the small courtyard, looking extremely dazzling.

Shadow's knife is very fast, but... it's not fast enough!

This is an assassin who hides in the darkness and seeks a one-shot kill.

Once a frontal battle breaks out... no matter how desperate you are, you can't change a problem.

The first sword out of the sheath is the strongest, and every subsequent sword becomes weaker and weaker.

The glow of these swords no longer looked as weird and cunning as when Gu Shen was watching the battle in the forest, watching the shadow assassinate Suzaku.

Faced head-on, the shadow brought too little pressure to him. This was indeed a life-and-death battle, but it was nonsense to try to break through.

Gu Shen stopped retreating and suddenly stopped.

In front of him were hundreds of blades intertwined into a web, with both blades breaking and tearing out. In the end, Gu Shen still followed the same example as before, stretched out an arm, and used the simplest and most barbaric method——

Break all laws with one force!

The iron scale skin and sixth level source armor directly resist all attacks caused by source breaking.

The tinkling sound exploded densely in the courtyard.

Finally, the courtyard returned to peace.

Gu Shen pressed his palm on Shadow's forehead.

He said calmly: "It's a pity that if I give you a chance... you will be useless."

The fire burns.

Shadow's eyes widened, and blazing fire burned in his pupils.

"The envoy from Nanzhou should be coming soon."

Gu Shen said calmly: "Otherwise, you would not die so easily in the real world. I will use all the tortures suffered by the 'neutral' on you... let you have a taste of it yourself and have your legs gouged out. Eyes, the pain of losing limbs. But it doesn’t matter, we will still have a chance to make up for this regret."

"Ho...ho..."

Shadow was a little confused. He didn't understand what Gu Shen meant by the second half of his sentence.

It's just that he ran out of time.

Shadow's breathing became difficult. He wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't utter a single word. His arms slowly slid down, and the two daggers clattered to the ground.

From a biological definition.

he died.

But from another perspective...he is not dead yet, his "life" has just begun.

"Don't worry, 'death' in the real world is not liberation."

Gu Shen said coldly, "Aren't you curious about my true identity? Now... you can know the truth."

He released his palm.

"Bang" sound.

The shadow that was lifted off the ground just fell to the ground. His body was burned by the fire, and when he fell heavily to the ground, it had turned into puffs of ashes and dust!

In the pure land world.

A brand new soul is "reborn" here!

For those souls resurrected in the "Pure Land", Gu Shen, as the master of the world, can choose to retain the self-awareness of the dead, or to completely erase them... For those tundra criminals who escaped from prison in the frozen lake mission, Gu Shen chose to erase them. In addition, let them serve in the Pure Land for life after life and pay for their sins.

But at this moment, Gu Shen chose to let the shadow "reincarnated" in the pure land retain his self-awareness!

"this……"

"Where is this?!"

Shadow woke up from his suffocation and saw a towering giant tree.

In the field of vision, hundreds of pale frost and snow drifted past, mixed with dry golden wheat ears.

next moment.

He understood everything.

This is a complete world of rules. The last time he saw a complete world of rules was under the Red Lake of Guangming City... And the man who owns this kind of world and has an aura that makes Guangming disgusted and hateful has only one identity left.

Hades!

Gu Shen is not an apostle!

They are the real seven gods who inherit the position of fire!

"You have two choices now."

Gu Shen said calmly: "First, my consciousness was wiped out... Do you see over there? You will become one of them. After your consciousness is wiped out, you will serve in my pure land forever."

The shadow looked in the direction Gu Shen pointed.

There are hundreds of souls there, building ancient buildings that resemble gardens.

"Of course, when we attack Guangming City in the future... you will go first."

Gu Shen said calmly: "Since you believe in the God of Light, I will let you witness the collapse of 'faith' with your own eyes."

"???"

Shadow was stunned. He had never seen such a shameless person.

"As for the second option..."

Gu Shen looked at the ancient house not far away next to Suxuanmu.

When Shadow saw the ancient house, he was trembling all over... This is the most important "object" in this mission to the south, the Holy Book!

The entire house was moved away by Gu Shen!

"I know your mind is locked. There is no point in trying to search for it."

Gu Shen said faintly: "But you can say it yourself... If you tell me the secret of the 'Holy Book' and answer my doubts, I can give you a decent way to die. I can let you... really die."

The Pure Land is very cold.

But Gu Shen's words were even colder.

At this moment, Shadow finally understood the meaning of Gu Shen's previous words.

Death in the real world is indeed not the end, not the end...

In the hands of Hades.

All this is just the beginning!
