Barrier of Light

The tundra area is covered in heavy snow.

A thin figure in a black cloak was walking in the heavy snow.

"drop."

"drop."

In the ice and snow, the cold wind howled, and a slight rhythmic electronic sound sounded on the snowy field.

The black cloaked figure walked forward silently, but after walking a certain distance, he still chose to connect.

"Did you see the news from [Yunjing]?"

The man's low and helpless voice sounded over the communicator.

"..."

The strong wind blew and lifted the cloak, revealing a girl's face that was so fair and sickly.

The girl remained silent in the face of questioning.

"The Four Envoys have been summoned urgently by the Tower of Source. They have assigned a new mission. It is very important. Now it is you."

The red dragon sighed softly, "I should have told you that this time I will leave Central Continent for training for only one month. When the time is up, you should come back voluntarily... Your identity is so sensitive, you should be aware of security, you must be clear , the world outside is not safe.”

"beep--"

Before the red dragon could say anything more, the girl hung up the communicator.

She pulled off her cloak completely and took a deep breath of cold air.

Five years.

Five years have passed since the Sangzhou Cave sank.

In the past five years, many changes have taken place in the five continents...but the tundra has not changed much. It has been bone-chilling snow for hundreds of years, and it is a vast expanse of wilderness.

Gu Xiaoman looked at the pale ice and snow tundra and recalled the words of the red dragon in the communicator. After thinking for a few seconds, she made a decision.

There was no choice to turn back, but to continue moving forward.

Every step she takes is determined...

Because she has a destination she wants to reach.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, the frozen lake cracked!

The girl in black cloak reacted instantly.

When the first crack appeared in the lake under her feet, the thin and small figure realized the crisis. Her first reaction was not to retreat, but to take action first!

Gu Xiaoman suddenly drew his sword.

The knife she carries every day is not a famous weapon, it is just a simple purple and silver folding knife.

A flash of snow-white light burst out of the lake!

Gu Xiaoman's eyes were calm, he held the folding knife tightly, aimed at the light of the knife coming out of the lake, and cut it down hard!

Hard shake!

"boom!"

Accompanied by the harsh sound of gold and iron, the impact of the needle tip on the wheat light exploded into thousands of flames!

When the girl in black cloak held a folding knife with one hand and struck it on the ice lake, she didn't look like a swordsman at all, but more like a reckless man using a sledgehammer.

But it's a pity.

The "assassin" under the ice lake is more powerful than her!

Great force came.

Gu Xiaoman groaned, her whole arm felt sore and numb, and her whole body was washed away by the huge force. In order to relieve the force, she gave up the force of the knife tip to the tip of the knife, so the wind and snow above the frozen lake roared away, and this The thin figure in black clothes was thrown away by the blow, his feet left the ground and slid out of a melodious curve.

The girl frowned and watched as the purple silver folding knife in her hand was chipped in just one impact.

Who is the other party?

Hiding under the frozen lake, using the knife from the bottom up, he still has such brute force!

Is this a powerful attack system that is higher than my own extraordinary realm?

It's just that... no one knew about his departure from the Tower of Source, and it was even less likely that anyone would guess when he came to the tundra. How could someone ambush him in a place like this? Is he here to assassinate him?

No time to think too much.

A few seconds later, she landed on the frozen lake again. The moment she landed on this arc, the same sound of the ice breaking was heard. The ghostly figure hidden under the frozen lake had already calculated the landing point and follow-up. attack and kill.

Gu Xiaoman stepped back quickly, and did not hesitate to use his strength.

Every step he took was extremely powerful, creating a huge spider web on the thick ice——

What she has to do is not only to avoid the assassin's continuous attacks under the ice lake, but also to completely pull out the sneaky and mysterious attacker from under the lake!

Heavy snowfall, hundreds of miles of frozen lake, all dressed in black.

This scene is beautiful.

The corners of the black shirt are like splashes of ink, dancing in the cracks of the ice lake, like butterflies on the cliff.

It's just that the assassins under the lake are even more skilled. Heavy snow and mist surround the lake. Gu Xiaoman hasn't even seen clearly yet what material the opponent's extremely sharp bayonet is made of. She remembers that when they struck each other, there was only the ultimate look in her eyes. Pale, it seemed like a non-physical knife condensed from countless brilliance.

If so, the opponent is likely to be an elemental transcendent.

This game of drawing swords under the lake and sweeping back and stepping on the ground came to an end due to Gu Xiaoman's change of formation. She had exhausted all the energy in her body, and the other party was determined to be a coward. If it continued like this, she would be completely exhausted. Let's see who has the longest energy... Gu Xiaoman simply stopped moving, and finally stepped firmly on the lake with both feet, waiting for the knife aimed at him to break the lake!

"boom!"

The moment the lake surface bloomed with brilliance, the girl in black took out a finger-tiger glove from her sleeve and smashed it down!

Hundreds of meters of wind and waves swept across.

With Gu Xiaoman as the center of the circle, the solid frozen lake with a radius of 100 meters was shattered in an instant. The punch of "Hundred Explosive Finger Tiger" hit the snow-white brilliance hard, successfully smashing the broken lake into pieces. Gu Xiaoman It also confirmed my suspicion that the knife that was constantly chasing me was not a sealed object at all, but a light blade!

This is the ability of an elemental transcendent!

"Huhuhu..."

The strong wind blew away the snow dust, and the solid ice of the frozen lake standing under Gu Xiaoman's feet had broken into pieces. Under the blow just now, the ice surface within a hundred meters was broken into pieces of broken ice.

She silently clenched the fist with the finger on it, her fingers almost losing feeling.

The opponent is very strong and cannot be underestimated.

Bai Bao Zhihu just punched him, and although he shattered the knife, he also paid a certain price. Now his whole forearm is in a sore and numb state.

"Your Excellency...since you are here, why don't you come out and see me?"

After taking two deep breaths, Gu Xiaoman reached out and patted the snow particles on her cloak. While speaking, her mental power had spread quietly, covering a hundred meters in radius. However, within her range of perception, Frozen There was deathly silence under the lake, without the slightest trace of life.

This is very scary.

The top assassins are proficient in the art of concealment and can indeed hide perfectly among those of the same level.

But facing the powerful search of the spiritual system, it is no longer easy to hide...

Gu Xiaoman's expression was extremely solemn. There were only two possibilities for the phenomenon in front of him.

Either the assassin failed to hit the target and has already retreated!

Either the assassin's mental power is far stronger than his own!

She hoped in her heart that it was the former, but the possibility of the former was really slim... because her heart was still tight at this moment.

The intuition of top spiritual geniuses is never wrong!

This shows that the danger from the unknown still exists. The assassin must be nearby, waiting for him to reveal his flaws and then deliver a fatal blow.

The frozen lake was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly a hoarse voice sounded.

"I'm here to kill you, why do we need to meet?"

The voice came from nowhere.

Moreover, some kind of spiritual magic has been used to modify it so that no one can detect the information about the owner of the voice. It is impossible to know whether the other party is male or female, and the specific age.

"If I'm not wrong, you should be at the third level too, right?"

Gu Xiaoman smiled lightly. For some reason, hearing the response made her feel more at ease.

So she spoke loudly and continued the conversation: "Are you a member of Yunhu's sect?"

A truly desperate assassin doesn't talk nonsense.

Now that the other party has spoken, she doesn't mind continuing the conversation, because it takes time to develop the ability of [Dreams].

When walking outside, she rarely uses her abilities.

This kind of power that pulls dreams and reality, once it is exerted, will reveal the identity and cause great trouble... But now that an "acquaintance" has come to visit, there is no need to hide anymore.

A dark crack was born on her sleeve.

This crack is extremely small.

But it actually tore the void apart, and spread silently, like a small black snake, snaking along the girl's cloak, hiding under the frozen lake, and constantly expanding——

"..."

Gu Xiaoman asked for his identity, but the voice stopped responding.

"If you're working for someone, tell me what your employer charges you, and I'll pay double."

Gu Xiaoman said calmly: "I am not interested in your identity, and I will not pursue your assassination."

Above the frozen lake, it was still deathly silent.

"To show my sincerity, I can give you a sealed artifact first."

Gu Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. She raised a hand and took off a ring. The ring was engraved with three clouds: "This is an A-level sealed object, the Ring of Clouds. It can be immersed every time it is activated." The dream state of the Sky God's Throne can be used to comprehend spiritual dreams. Until the user understands his own 'spectator's state of mind', he can get twice the result with half the effort... This is a spiritual spiritual object that countless people dream of."

The silence of the frozen lake was broken.

The hoarse voice smiled, obviously showing some interest in the Ring of Clouds.

"And there are such divine objects?"

"Since you came to kill me, you must know my identity... I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing."

Gu Xiaoman said calmly: "If you are willing to trade with me, I can throw this ring now... and never take it back, how about it?"

"I don't want this ring."

The hoarse voice suddenly spoke, "I want the string of beads on your hand."

Gu Xiaoman fell silent immediately. She looked at her wrist, where a string of simple snow-white beads hung.

When the man gave it to himself, there were seven.

Now...there are only five left.

"Sorry, I can't give you this bracelet."

Gu Xiaoman shook her head. She lowered her sleeves and said slowly: "This item is a one-time consumable. I have already used two... Its value is not as high as the 'Cloud Ring'. I have many You can choose valuable treasures at will, but not this string of bracelets."

"Is it?"

The hoarse voice laughed again: "Then I want the sealed object on your hand, or the bell pendant on your neck."

Gu Xiaoman frowned.

The other party asked for the Hundred Explosive Finger Tiger, but she could still understand it. After all, it was a very practical power-attack sealed item.

But what does it mean to ask for a bell pendant?

She touched the bell pendant in the lapel of her cloak with some confusion. The most worthless thing on her body was this thing. It was a meeting gift given to her by Shen Li five years ago. She said it contained a calming meaning. Power can protect the mental stability of extraordinary people during their cultivation. For an S-level spiritual system, "mental stability" is really a very basic thing.

Over the years, the only sealed object on his body that he has not used is Shen Li's bell pendant.

However, Gu Xiaoman did not ignore it because of this, but hung it in front of his neck.

When you see things, you miss people; when you see things, you miss people.

Maybe there really is incredible power in this bell pendant. After wearing it, she will indeed feel a warmth from the bottom of her heart.

"Why do you want this sealed artifact..."

"Wait, who are you?"

Gu Xiaoman spoke suspiciously.

At this moment she suddenly raised her head.

Directly opposite, a "tall" figure slowly walked out of the mist surrounded by wind and snow.

The reason why he is tall is that the rightful owner is currently sitting on the shoulders of [Thunder Realm Walker].

Baixiu looked at the girl in black cloak on the frozen lake with a complicated expression, and smiled happily: "Xiao Man... I haven't seen you for five years. You have grown a lot taller, and you are much more powerful than I imagined."

With a crackle, the Thunder Walkers disappeared on the spot.

The white clothes fell to the ground, and the clothes were flying like snow.

"Master Baixiu..."

Gu Xiaoman was stunned on the spot.

No wonder... no wonder...

She stepped on the broken ice and rushed over, bumping into the arms of the figure in white.

Bai Xiu's eyes were a little confused at first, and then softened. He slowly stretched out his hand, patted Gu Xiaoman's back gently, and said with a soft smile: "That string of beads is not a valuable thing, there is no need to cherish it so much. If you use it or throw it away... I will give it to you again."

"You gave it to me, how could I throw it away..."

Gu Xiaoman's voice was choked, and at the same time he raised his eyes, his eyes still a little aggrieved.

"In the past five years at the Tower of Source... you must have suffered a lot of grievances, right?"

The smile on Baixiu's face gradually disappeared, and he asked in a low voice: "Yunhu, Xuangui, and the new Suzaku Divine Envoy...are they hostile to you?"

"I've had a great life these five years!"

The girl quickly denied it, with disdain in her voice: "Who are they? Who can bully me? Who dares to bully me?!"

Seeing Gu Xiaoman's expression as proud as a little lion, Bai Xiu couldn't bear to expose it.

He knew very well what kind of person this little girl was.

Even if he was injured, he would just lick the wound silently in the corner... But there was one thing Gu Xiaoman was right about.

She won't let anyone bully her for no reason.

At the origin of the broken frozen lake, where Gu Xiaoman was standing before, there were countless small black snakes swimming under the ice, lingering and wrapped into a black ball. This was the power released by [Dreams].

The previous negotiation was just a delaying tactic for her. If she waits a moment longer and completes the accumulation of [Dream], the situation will be reversed!

She doesn't want to give any of the sealed objects mentioned before, and she won't give any of them!
