Barrier of Light

The snow wind and blood mist exploded together. The red dragon did not stop after poking out the scabbard, but continued to step forward on the densely packed giant branches. He did not give Gu Shen the slightest chance to breathe.

The frost and snow in the Pure Land realm kept churning, and was constantly chopped into pieces by the red dragon's long sword.

In the majestic snow, there is a blazing fire burning——

Gu Shen was stabbed through the shoulder by a scabbard and flew nearly a hundred meters. He struggled to adjust his balance in the air. He tightly covered the wound with his five fingers, and a large amount of "fire of life" surged from the wound!

The red dragon's short sword was not unsheathed——

This gives him a chance to heal his injuries!

At this moment, Gu Shen completely forgot about the pain, and he was immersed in a state of extreme concentration and selflessness.

The end of the broken frost and snow.

The red dragon stepped forward with two swords, and every movement of its cloak flying became "slow".

All perceptions of everything in the world are magnified under the crisis of life and death!

"It is speculated by the outside world that the four divine envoys of the Tower of Source are all on the eleventh level of the deep sea...between one realm and two realms..."

"But the intelligence on the Red Dragon is obviously wrong."

"He is much stronger than Suzaku. He is not a transcendent of the same level at all."

In the few seconds of the brief exchange, a series of thoughts passed through Gu Shen's mind.

He once "observed" the duel between the Suzaku Divine Envoy and the Great Knight of Light Jia Wei in the West Cave. The feeling of oppression brought by the red dragon at this moment was no less than that of Jia Wei——

This is most likely a fourth-level transcendent!

It's just that Gu Shen didn't think about it.

With the high profile of the Tower of Source, if there really is a "fourth-level transcendent", why should he hide it and put the red dragon in the open? It should be a more profitable approach.

There is a fourth level transcendence, and other major forces will deliberately pay attention to the three points!

There is no time to think about the reason why the Tower of Source did this.

Gu Shen returned his attention to his own battle——

Now he has no choice.

"Either breakthrough or death..."

Being in the barrier arranged by the red dragon, this is probably the power of the God Envoy Card, similar to the [Nanli Boundary], but under the control of the red dragon, this barrier is more powerful and perfect.

Gu Shen was forced to engage in a "one-on-one challenge"!

Want to escape?

The possibility is there, but it’s very low!

There is no room for hesitation in this kind of top-level duel. Once you decide to give up, your chance of survival drops to almost zero——

"Crack!"

Gu Shen stepped heavily on the main trunk of a giant tree with both feet, causing a crisp sound. After withstanding the remaining power of the red dragon's sword, he finally took a breath, and then stepped on the tree to regain his balance. At this moment With his body nearly perpendicular to the ground, he twisted his waist and ran towards the canopy of the tree. At the same time, he looked back at the moon, raised his arm and pulled back, using his injured shoulder as a support point——

"Buzz buzz!"

[Truth] From the gap between the index finger and thumb, countless silver arcs of light burst out, turning into a candle-extinguished bow at the moment of pulling the full moon!

The furious roar of empty arrows echoes in the void!

Gu Shen released his index finger and thumb!

This arrow directly tore apart the hundred-meter distance between him and the red dragon. The moment he let go, he arrived in front of the red dragon's front door!

Time seemed to freeze.

Gu Shen could clearly see Red Dragon's frown and surprised eyes.

From the expression on the latter's face, it is not difficult to deduce the true thoughts in his heart.

"What a fast arrow?!"

The red dragon didn't expect that with his own catching ability, he didn't even see how this arrow appeared in front of him... Maybe it was because it was too fast, or maybe it was because this arrow had some kind of weird supernatural power attached to it. Traits.

in his field of vision.

Gu Shen pulled the string and let go, and the arrow hit him——

This arrow is very fast.

He couldn't avoid it.

But that doesn't mean...he has no other options.

The red dragon used his thumb to push the short sword out of the sheath. With a flash of scarlet light coming out of the sheath, the bright sword energy slashed down like a river. The silver light of the arrow in the sky was cut into pieces and turned into scattered stardust. .

Gu Shen's expression didn't change much. He expected that the arrow was chopped into pieces——

What he is holding now is a fake [Candle Extinguishing].

Perhaps if it were the legendary authentic one, that S-level or above divine bow, there would be a chance of hurting the red dragon across borders.

However, being able to force the red dragon to use his sword is enough!

The most terrifying time for a knife is when it is about to come out, when the sword is full of light and pressed in the sheath.

[Extinguish the Candle] One arrow and force the dagger out!

Gu Shen continued to retreat, and drew his bow and arrow again. The long-range attack and killing effect was very good. He wanted to follow the same pattern and fire a second shot to see if he could force out the other trump cards of the Red Dragon... But the Tower of Source in front of him was the first. The divine envoy did not give him this chance. After the red dragon pulled out the short sword, he broke through again at an extremely fast speed, this time directly breaking through the sound barrier!

It was Gu Shen who shot an arrow earlier!

Now, it is the red dragon who shoots himself as an arrow!

"boom!"

Gu Shen's eyes were dazzled. The red cloaked figure appeared above his head. The red dragon held a knife in both hands and raised his arms to cut -

"Clang clang clang!"

At the critical moment, Gu Shen relied entirely on instinct to counterattack!

He had to give up [extinguish the candle], use the ruler of truth to bless the Iron Throne, dismantle the "iron scale skin" condensed on the body surface, and send them all out, turning into twelve iron knives in the air!

The red dragon draws its sword very quickly, and the twelve iron swords attack even faster!

Gu Shen used his mental power to capture the red dragon's sword shadow——

He did not dare to neglect at all. Under such an intensity of attack, the defensive power of the "iron scale skin" could be ignored. The red dragon's domain, combined with the knife, and some kind of "secret method", could target someone in an instant. Point's attack power is increased to the extreme!

Even the "Sixth Level Source Armor" can't prevent this impact!

Sixth-level source armor can theoretically resist the attacks of all fourth-level transcendent beings. Only the title can break it. However, Red Dragon has proven with actual actions that the fourth-level transcendent can break through the overall defense of the sixth-level source armor!

The first stab with the knife was a bit like a "warning"——

If you want to survive, you can only choose to counterattack!

The two of them hit the ground from the air and smashed into the beast tide!

Although the barrier arranged by the red dragon hides the breath of the extraordinary people within the barrier and prevents the extraordinary beast spirits from discovering it, actually falling into the beast tide will still cause awareness... Those extraordinary animal spirits will encounter living people. Becoming extremely excited, they pounced subconsciously, and then were shaken to pieces by the terrifying iron light of the sword, minced into flesh, and beaten into bloody foam!

In the tide of beasts, a scarlet circle spread out with a radius of ten meters, then twenty meters, and finally fifty meters!

Gu Shen's mental power has reached its peak.

He controlled more and more [Iron Scales]. At first, there were twelve flying knives to counter the red dragon's swords. But later, the red dragon's swords were getting faster and faster, and the increase in the attack rhythm forced him to Control more flying knives——

From twelve to twenty-four, from twenty-four to forty-eight!

In the inner lake, Chu Ling's warning voice sounded more than once. She reminded Gu Shen that the spiritual sea was overloaded...

If this continues, it may get out of control.

But Gu Shen, who is in the "state of selflessness", has perfectly dealt with the problem of "spiritual" overclocking, and the blazing fire covers the lake of his heart. Theoretically, he has "lost control", but the stability ability given to him by the Four Seasons Breathing Method is reflected at this moment, and that ray of light The little flame was not deformed due to overdraft.

He hits the limit of the "spiritual sea" again and again!

As a third-level transcendent, he is also a three-time transcendent...

The spiritual sea he possesses at this moment is already on an unprecedented "fourth level" scale.

In the end, Gu Shen was able to control as many as eighty-four "iron scale flying knives" at the same time. However, this was not enough. The red dragon divine envoy holding long and short knives could slash nearly a hundred times in an instant.

"There is still a breakthrough..."

"We still need to break through!"

The real limit will crush an extraordinary person, no matter how calm he is.

The state of selflessness has also reached its limit.

The veins on Gu Shen's forehead bulged, and his whole body was wrapped in the fire of vitality. The frost and snow in the pure land had long been beaten away by the red dragon sword, and they were broken into pieces and scattered everywhere. In his eyes, only the snow that flew through the void and turned into The "iron scales" of countless sparks——

Eighty-four is not enough!

breakthrough! Continue to break through!

"Buzz!"

In Gu Shen's mind, he suddenly heard a very slight roaring sound. His spiritual sea, which was tense to the extreme, suddenly expanded again at this moment. The bottleneck of the ninth layer of the deep sea that had trapped him for a long time was like a pile of accumulation. A dam that blocks countless torrents.

In this battle, Gu Shen has only two fates -

Either collapse or break through.

At this moment, Gu Shen was greeted by the latter!

Chu Ling's warning voice stopped suddenly, and the girl sitting in Ling Ling Yao had a complicated expression.

Broke the situation.

The ninth layer of the deep sea.

The souls in the Kingdom of Pure Land also sensed this and raised their heads.

They feel like something is different.

Gu Shen's spiritual sea successfully broke the long-standing dam.

The "blessed shadow" of the three-time transcender came again, and his spiritual sea ushered in a second huge expansion. The scale at this moment can be compared with Zhongyuan and Fisher during the Dolu River Disaster Mission.

The top level among the fourth level!

This kind of spiritual sea, placed in Sangzhou Cave, is completely capable of confronting super geniuses like "Suzaku Divine Envoy" and "Holy Son Su Ye" across borders!

Gu Shen's spiritual sea had doubled in size!

And this seemingly "long" expansion of the heart, in the real world, actually only took a tenth of a second, not even... The manifestation in the specific battle is that Gu Shen summoned to resist the red dragon. The "iron scale shadow" of the sword's power exceeded eighty-four in an instant, and the number of shadows all over the sky doubled!

One hundred and sixty-eight!

Gu Shen's pressure suddenly eased——

It turned out that his spirit was extremely tense and he did not dare to relax at all.

Controlling the "eighty-four iron scale flying knives" to block and counterattack was the result of his breakthrough in the eighth layer of the deep sea. After breaking through... it was no longer difficult to control the one hundred and sixty-eight iron scale phantoms. .

Gu Shen knew that this was not his current limit.

As long as he is familiar with this expanded spiritual sea, he can make another breakthrough!

One hundred and sixty-eight iron scale shadows almost filled the entire three-foot space around Gu Shen.

"go!"

Gu Shen did not hesitate, seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack!

"..."

Seeing the doubling of the number of iron scale shadows, the cold-looking Red Dragon Divine Envoy showed no anger at all on his cheeks. Instead, he showed a faint smile. He did not stop, but continued to draw the sword!

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

The sound of blacksmithing exploded densely in the void.

What makes Gu Shen's scalp feel numb is... when he controlled eighty-four iron-scaled phantoms, when he fought with the red dragon, the situation seemed to be 50-50. Now that he has broken through, the iron-scaled phantoms he controlled The number of shadows has doubled, but the situation is still 50-50!

Moreover, the feeling of oppression is still full!

"What kind of monster is this?"

Gu Shen looked at Red Dragon with shock in his eyes.

If anything, he wasn't quite sure yet... about Red Dragon's true strength.

So now he can draw a conclusion with certainty.

The Red Dragon Divine Envoy is a fourth-level transcendent who hides his strength!

The Tower of Source placed him at the head of the Divine Envoys and falsely promoted his strength... In fact, Red Dragon is a super fierce man who can be compared with Jia Wei and Lu Zhe!

Gu Shen was a little confused.

If the red dragon is really the fourth level transcendent realm, then there is nothing to fight in this battle between him and him——

Even if he breaks through, he will only be crushed!

Earlier in the West Cave, he had seen how badly Suzaku was beaten by Jia Wei... The watershed at the fourth level was like a natural chasm! In the eyes of the "fourth-level transcendent realm" who is going all out, the fourth-level transcendent realms that have comprehended one realm and two realms are actually the same!

Level 4 Transcendence can defeat them easily!

"so……"

Gu Shen suddenly understood something: "The red dragon is deliberately letting off steam... He is oppressing me, he wants me to break through?!"

From beginning to end, Red Dragon did not fight seriously.

The fighting power he displays depends on himself——

How strong you are.

The red dragon is just a little stronger than me!

So at the beginning, the red dragon's short sword attack broke through his sixth-level source armor defense. It was really a warning to himself. He put himself in a situation of life and death, gave himself a glimmer of hope, and then finally succeeded in forcing himself to break through. territory!

There is only one purpose for doing this...

Gu Shen suddenly withdrew the phantom of iron scales in the sky, and the red dragon's sword movement also stopped. The unsheathed long sword finally staggered a foot, and the sword energy cut through the void, brushed against Gu Shen's shoulder, and shattered the far end. of an ancient tree.

The entire barrier suddenly returned to tranquility.

It was truly peaceful at this moment, because the battlefield where the two were fighting had reached the ground... and in this area, all the beast spirits that crashed into it were strangled to death.

"Why don't you fight?"

The red dragon raised his eyebrows, with a faint smile on his lips.

"..."

Gu Shen looked at the deflected blade, and at this moment his thoughts were confirmed again.

If it is the mortal enemy of the Tower of Source.

Then this knife will not deflect.

"This is the 'meeting gift' you gave me...the gift of breaking through the realm..."

Gu Shen stared into the red dragon's eyes. He stretched out the back of his hand and wiped the blood on the corner of his lips: "You didn't come to kill me. From the beginning, you just wanted to help me break through the situation?"

"Whoosh——"

The red dragon turned his sword in a habitual way and slowly inserted the two swords into their sheaths.

When Gu Shen opened his mouth, he knew that the battle was over.

"Don't you like this meeting gift?"

The red dragon smiled and said: "Aren't you always looking for a life-and-death battle that can break through the situation? On this island, there will be no better opportunity than this."

Gu Shen was silent.

He knew the red dragon was telling the truth...

His originally expected opponent was Suzaku, but if he really had a life-and-death duel with Suzaku, he would probably have a lot of other troubles.

For example, the "Nanli Position Card", and other divine envoys that may be supported by the Tower of Source at any time——

At least there won't be such a quiet barrier.

Suzaku, let alone Red Dragon, is "only slightly stronger than me" and at the same time "full of murderous intent" with a sense of oppression.

As for finding other fourth-level transcendences, it is even more impossible.

If you fight Lu Zhe, you will never have a chance to break through in your life.

Fighting with Jia Wei...

Gu Shen, who is on the eighth level of the deep sea, may be killed.

As for the "Saint Jiadi" who just arrived at Sangzhou Cave, he is the same type of person as Jia Wei.

Looking at it from this point of view, looking at the Sangzhou Cave, and even looking at the Five Continents, only Red Dragon is really the best candidate to break the situation - the most important thing is that he is willing to take the initiative to act in this drama.

For a few moments, Gu Shen really thought that he would die.

"I do not understand."

Gu Shen took a deep breath to calm down.

He looked at the red dragon and said word by word: "I don't understand why you want to do this."
