Bulwark of Light

Chapter 571
To live, or to die, that is the question.

This is a question that lies before all people in the world and needs to be explored throughout their lives.

It's just that Meng Xiao at the moment doesn't think this is a problem... He is an extraordinary person who has completed the tenth level of the mental test in the deep water area, advanced to the fourth level, and controlled the field.

As for Gu Shen, he just entered the third level.

The huge gap between the two made him not need to think about the outcome of this battle at all, winning or losing, life or death, this is something only the weak have to think about.

"The place you want to escape doesn't seem to be here?"

Zhenyue raised her head.

Although the bottom of the Styx River is very dark, under the blazing light, you can still see some scenes... This big river has not been stepped on by any living beings for an unknown number of years. A shattered look of depletion and decay.

For ordinary people, such a scene really has no memory.

But for the extraordinary.

Different.

Every section of the bottom of the Styx River is different.

In the previous pursuit process, Gu Shen seemed to have a very "clear" destination, but after chasing here, there was darkness and silence in all directions. Obviously, this Dongzhou man was afraid that he would find something in the Styx River. So the choice changed course.

Of course Gu Shen would not answer Meng Xiao's question.

He grinned, and took out the ruler of truth. Under the wrapping of fiery spiritual power, a gloomy black glow penetrated the silver-white ruler, condensed in his palm, and turned into a slender and curved thing.

It was a longbow covered with silver dragon scales.

from a distance.

This longbow exudes the same breath of silence as the water of the Heihe River, which makes one's heart palpitate.

The ruler of truth can be fabricated in any shape.

All of this is constructed based on the master's spiritual power.

Theoretically speaking... as long as the mental power is strong enough, the ruler of truth can burst out the maximum lethality that any weapon can burst out within the rules!

Such a big bow needs to consume a lot of mental power to draw it together.

However, it is not.

Gu Shen just visualized a "bow shape" idea in his mind at random, and let the ruler of truth transform it by himself, and then began to conceive the next attack. He didn't have much energy to outline the longbow The details, the dragon scales and the bursts of killing intent emanating from the surface are all the masterpieces of that boring devil in the ruler.

After the deal was concluded, this guy made up his mind not to intervene. At this moment, he finally waited for the good show to come, and carved lifelike dragon scales for Gu Shen very thoughtfully.

After the light condensed, Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

The devil explained lightly: "This big bow is named 'Extinguished Candle', and it was once a favorite of a certain guy. Judging by your current rating standards, it is a proper 'S-rank' sealed item. Of course , What you are holding now is a fake, if you can exert one-tenth of the lethality, it will be very good."

Fake?

Just a fake is enough to make people feel the weight!
Gu Shen twisted the weight of the dragon scale bow in disbelief, he muttered: "...I have not promised other transactions."

After a pause, Gu Shen asked vigilantly, "There won't be any other 'charges'?"

"It's free." The devil said angrily and amusedly: "The enemy is now, do you still need to be so wary of me?"

Gu Shen was still vigilant, "How could you be so kind to provide such a special service?"

"Don't get me wrong, I just simply hate the 'breath of light'." The devil said quietly: "The feeling of running away on the mountain just now is very uncomfortable, isn't it? Since the God of Light has not descended successfully...then we can't let this blessing Son, do you just shit and pee on my head?"

The words are vulgar.

But the truth is very real.

Gu Shen smiled softly, "Very good...you finally got the hang of it."

"Take it, the devil is occasionally generous."

The black shadow on the throne waved his hand leisurely, very affluent, he picked up the bloody goblet again, calmly said: "Besides, free things are the most expensive... isn't it?"

Gu Shen was taken aback.

next moment.

The breaking sound of the Styx river was transmitted into the spiritual sea.

The blazing flames floating in all directions immediately caught the strangeness.

A blast of light cannon pierced through the water of the Styx River, and directly bombarded towards Gu Shen's position——

On the Black Snow Mountain, Meng Xiao used this trick for the first encounter.

The blessing of light in his chest can be magnified and condensed through the robe, and transformed into the ultimate pure energy, bombarded out!

It was a powerful blow.

Normally, it should be avoided.

But at this moment, Gu Shen accidentally raised the dragon scale bow.

empty pull!

The counterfeit [Extinguished Candle] is condensed by spiritual power, and the bowstring is also cast by the silver light of the ruler of truth. It is pulled full by Gu Shen in an instant, and the silver-white dragon scales are instantly scorching hot, stirring up pure gold. The color of fire!

Gu Shen let go of his fingers, because there was no arrow, [Extinguish Candle] just shot out an invisible wave of sound.

"Rumble rumble—"

The black water is broken.

A ray of strange light bloomed from Gu Shen's fingertip when he let go of the bowstring!
This quiet and silent sound wave of [Extinguishing Candles] directly meets the countless majestic lights, crashing into the spout of light blessings!

The next moment, Meng Xiao, the preemptive striker, suddenly shrank his pupils. He was already shrouded in extreme light, but at this moment, a small ray of darkness appeared!
The power of blessing roared out, enveloping Gu Shen, the turbulent and endless flames should have directly drowned the young man from Dongzhou... However, a wisp of silent rhythm passed by, and his beam of blessing came from the middle Break it apart!
That ray of darkness is the color of the river Styx!

"Whoosh!"

A very light voice passed by.

Meng Xiao was slightly taken aback. He stretched out his palm, stroked his cheek, and felt a piece of warmth and moisture...Countless lights shrouded it, shielding it from the surrounding water of the Heihe River. And the next touch.

He looked at the bright red in his palm.

His expression became serious.

The arrow just now was too fast, so fast that I didn't see it clearly, and I didn't even have time to dodge it...

Unexpectedly, did you break through [Hazy Moon]?

He looked at Gu Shen again, narrowing his eyes slightly, no, there was not even an arrow on the bowstring just now.

With just a single pull, does it have such power?

Is that big dragon scale bow the body of the sealed item that Gu Shen has been covering up all this time?

At this moment, Meng Xiao also realized one thing, that is, he was wearing a magic robe, wearing a light bracelet, and blessed with blessings, so he could be called the chosen one... However, Gu Shen on the opposite side was also an S-rank in Dongzhou. Destiny Child in a sense.

Whether it is a monster or a genius in this world, there will always be more than one.

There are even seven gods.

And fortune, opportunity, naturally will not only be seized by one person.

He let out a light breath.

From the very first encounter at the dinner party, to the unsuccessful attempts at the training ground, and finally to the encounter in the Black Snow Mountain... His attitude towards Gu Shen is the same as that of his "followers". This is true of people who are too weak, and it is not worth him to take a second look at it.

Whenever possible.

He will run over Gu Shen.

It's just that...there was never such a chance.

But now, he has completely changed his previous thinking.

Gu Shen is not something that can be easily crushed.

He is stronger and tougher than he imagined...

If you want to crush him, you have to give all your strength.

……

……

This is the first time Gu Shen has heard of the existence of [Extinguished Candle].

It's a pity that the second half of the Styx River is a completely broken link area, and he can't have a spiritual link with Chu Ling... Otherwise, at this moment, he must try to find the relevant information of this "S-level sealed item" from the database. information.

Just a fake, so powerful?
The power of that shot just now was completely beyond Gu Shen's expectations. The arc of truth pierced through the beam of light blessed by the light... Of course, this does not mean that the power of this shot is stronger than the blessing of light.

It's just that the attribute attached to [Candle Extinguishment] itself is too powerful.

Sharp!

The attribute attached to it is sharpness, the ultimate sharpness!

Even if it is an empty string, the sound waves emitted can still pierce the beam of blessed light... The crushing method Meng Xiao is proud of is completely restrained in front of [Extinguish Candle].

The tip of the needle against the wheat awn, the previous confrontation, and a hundred times, the ending is the same.

Thinking of this, Gu Shen suddenly understood the meaning of what the devil said earlier... The condensed form of [Extinguished Candle] is by no means a random gift given by it for a while, but a carefully selected gift of temptation. I know how many legendary artifacts are stored in the devil's mind, but [Extinguish Candle] is definitely one of the best choices when facing Meng Xiao and the blessing of light.

Free is indeed the most expensive.

I have always refused to deal with the devil... However, at this moment, Gu Shen couldn't refuse the "timely rain" that relieved his eyebrows.

The devil smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

"not bad."

Gu Shen said lightly, "It's a pity that the lethality is still a bit small. Just now, it would be the best if it could directly shoot Meng Xiao's head."

"..."

The devil was speechless for a moment, he shook his wine glass, and jokingly said: "Even if the genuine product is delivered to you, can you pull it away?"

This statement is not sarcasm.

Because the stamina of [Extinguished Candle] is really great.

Just a temporary pull, Gu Shen's right hand was already trembling badly, and now it was tucked into the cuff, it seemed that the wind was calm and there was still energy left, but in fact, it was vaguely exhausted.

There was even a little blood oozing from the tiger's mouth.

Although his physique can't compare with those perverts in Beizhou, he has never stopped tempering. He is also the best among the extraordinary people in the same realm, but he only needs to rest after firing his bow once?

compared to the flesh.

What consumes more is the spirit.

The Ruler of Truth is a pure "spiritual fetish". Every time it is used, and even every second it consumes to maintain the shape of the object, it is mainly paid by spiritual power.

"Isn't there still you?"

Gu Shen smiled lightly, and while resting, he teased the devil: "Didn't you always want to trade, send the genuine product to me, in case I can't pull it away, wouldn't the trade come here?"

The devil rolled his eyes.

Since its whole body was covered in black mist, its cheeks were also pitch black, so naturally there would be no such thing as "whites of the eyes"...

"My surname is Gu, don't push yourself too hard..."

The devil asked angrily: "Believe it or not, I will cancel the special service?"

Rarely, Gu Shen did not fight back forcefully.

He silently clenched his big bow, feeling both a sense of security and some uneasiness... I have to say that the devil's understanding of the "ruler of truth" is much better than his own. Once the "gift" is cancelled, he will fight Meng Xiao's difficulty will suddenly rise.

Because all I can do now is to condense the bow form, even if I remember all the appearance and details of [Extinguished Candle] at this moment, I can't make a replica of myself.

In other words, Gu Shen couldn't even condense fakes of fakes.

……

……

After one shot, the bottom of the Styx river returned to tranquility.

After the "arrow" just now, Meng Xiao no longer used the power of the magic robe.

He re-examined the young man in front of him, Gu Shen was still in the big net gathered by his "Dark Light", there was no need to rush this battle.

Meng Xiao slowly drifted back a certain distance to ensure that he was as far away from the range of the terrifying bow as possible.

Then, he opened his mouth to break the tranquility at the bottom of the river: "Aren't you always curious, why should I target you?"

This is the question that Gu Shen has been perplexed for a long time.

In the cemetery of Gubao Fortress, he was reminded by Zhong Yuan that when he got the news...

It has been unable to understand.

Why on earth is this Grand Duke Zhenyue chasing after him so hard?

"Our city of light, and the breath of darkness... have never been at odds with each other."

Meng Xiao slowly stretched out his palm and pressed it against his chest. The aura of blessing floating in the river like seaweed instantly gathered like smoke. Like the arc of the ruler of truth, it condensed and solidified, and turned into a slender lightsaber, held in his palm.

The point of the lightsaber pointed at the center of Gu Shen's eyebrows.

Meng Xiao said calmly: "You are so familiar with this Black River, you should know that this place is related to 'Pluto'... right?"

Gu Shen was expressionless.

But the bottom of my heart...is gloomy.

This was the last thing he wanted to hear. He didn't want Meng Xiao to lock himself in because of the results of Guangming City's investigation of Pluto...

What else is worse than being targeted by the God of Light?

It was incredible news that Pluto, who fell 20 years ago, had recovered and returned to Dongzhou.

In particular, Pluto disappeared again after the battle in the cemetery, which made this already somewhat false news seem even more "elusive".

of course.

The whereabouts of Hades has always been a mystery.

The rest of the gods can turn a blind eye, but the light god can't be indifferent.

"Although the throne of God has not descended, the light is still there, and the will of God still guides me."

"Now, as long as I see you, the desire to kill in my heart will rise like never before..."

Meng Xiao stared at Gu Shen, and spoke word by word.

Perhaps it was because of the "ghost veil".

Or, it was because the flame between Gu Shen's eyebrows turned pale.

The more he looked at Gu Shen, the more he felt a natural rejection...

Previously on the top of the Black Snow Mountain, the light dissipated too quickly.

Lord God Zuo only had time to hastily leave a simple guide to enter the river.

As for what he will do after he goes deep into the Heihe... His Excellency didn't say much.

But at this moment, Meng Xiao could already confirm that this young man was inextricably linked with Pluto, Heihe, and his mission.

His pupils burst into golden light, and he whispered, "What is the relationship between you and Hades?"

The moment Meng Xiao opened his mouth, the murderous intent in his heart was gone.

In fact, Gu Shen's answer is not important at all...

In his heart, he already had the answer.

No matter what the real truth is, the truth in his heart will not change.

Now, in this silent black river, he wants to erase this young man who may pose a huge threat to Bright City in the future.

Gu Shen didn't answer.

He just silently raised his head and looked at Grand Duke Zhenyue in front of him.

Silence is worth a thousand words.

Under countless blazing lights, the temperature of the Styx river water began to rise, and it seemed to turn into a copper furnace in all directions. Gu Shen, who was burned by the holy light, turned on the [Iron Throne] with a blank expression on his face. Wiping away the nameless iron armor on the side, he took out an iron arrow lightly, set it on the bowstring of the dragon scale bow, and pointed it at Zhenyue.
