Bulwark of Light

Chapter 585 Catch This Wisp of Fire (Big Chapter)

"My own!"

The Styx River was tumbling, the black water was boiling, and a firm voice echoed over the long river where countless Holy Inquisitors had collapsed.

The strong wind blows over Gu Shen's soul.

He didn't feel the slightest bit of coldness, on the contrary, the temperature of the river Styx was just right.

There is no problem with the spiritual warning of the cross pendant.

For most extraordinary people, this is almost impossible to survive. They need to use their mental strength to forcibly resist the toxin of the Styx... and then personally experience the suffering that the Holy Inquisitor encountered back then.

But for Gu Shen, it was just the opposite.

The biggest "difficulty" in this catastrophe should be to curse the light and join the "darkness".

Gu Shen didn't even hesitate for a second, and directly stated his position.

He is not a holy judge, let alone a believer in the city of light. The reason why he fled here is because of the pursuit of the blessed son of light. What is it to spit on light?
He can scold all day if need be.

This dream was very realistic. Those "Holy Inquisitors" who were fighting against Pluto's divine sense looked at Gu Shen who was speaking in astonishment. They never expected such a "traitor" to appear in their team. "!"
Gu Shen was unmoved.

He knew that all of this was false, and the battle that year had ended long ago.

I was dragged into this nightmare, probably due to the obsession of the "Holy Inquisitor"... These Holy Inquisitors have been dead for many years, and their bodies have turned into dry bones.

They used to be the existence of maintaining order in Bright City. After they died, they were reduced to wandering ghosts in hell.

This kind of behavior of pulling people into hell is actually the opposite of the bright meaning of the word "bright".

With his statement.

The entire Styx gradually became quieter.

The "Pluto" standing tall at the end of the river, separated by time and space, dreams, and the roaring river, is calmly watching the young man in front of him. In this broken dream, everything is already doomed.

Gu Shen did not believe that Pluto could see "himself".

So he also raised his head and looked directly at the blood-red pupils in the darkness.

This is the two Plutos looking at each other 20 years apart.

The huge figure sitting high on the throne had pale flames burning between his brows. It was the "underworld fire" at its peak state. It was boiling and burning at this moment, as if it was going to burn a hole in the entire sky...

Between Gu Shen's brows, flames were also burning.

It's just that his flame, compared to the "Pluto" in its heyday, is far, far worse.

It's really just a tiny flame.

May go out at any time.

Although small, but there is, this ray of fire is the "symbol" of his identity.

A little Mars today.

Tomorrow can start a prairie fire.

"..."

Staring at this pale flame that is so small that it may be extinguished at any time——

The tall black shadow at the end of the Styx River remained silent without saying a word.

However, Gu Shen suddenly felt that he was delusional. Why did he feel that the guy covered by the mist... Seeed his own flames, and seemed to smile slightly.

Nightmare shattered.

The next moment, Gu Shen returned to reality.

The "blood-colored pupils" in the dark hall were densely shrouded, and they were stern and bright, but after Gu Shen ignited the underworld fire between his brows, these blood-colored pupils avoided him!

This is the symbol of "one of our own"!

Gu Shen was startled.

He subconsciously stroked the center of his brows, thinking that what he said actually worked... Could it be that Pluto, after 20 years, could really hear his own voice and control the fate of the future?
When this idea appeared, it was immediately denied by Gu Shen himself.

It's ridiculous.

This kind of thing, let alone Pluto, no god can do it.

It should be his own "underworld fire", which has a certain suppressive effect on the remnants of these holy inquisitors...

In a sense, the former Pluto has fallen.

I am the real master of this hall.

It's just that now... Gu Shen hasn't figured out Pluto's intention to build the palace and what happened back then.

"Wait, Mu Wanqiu is still in a nightmare..."

Gu Shen raised his head and saw in the distance where the blood-colored pupils were superimposed, one after another, the remnants of the Holy Inquisitor converged on Mu Wanqiu's body. The woman who was chopping bones with a knife looked like a wood carving at this moment.

A pretty face, full of anger, but frozen there.

Her spirit was pulled into a nightmare by the "Holy Inquisitor"...

Don't need to think too much, Mu Wanqiu at this moment is probably going through the tormenting battle that Styx suffered back then!
Gu Shen immediately popped up a blazing flame, rushing directly towards Mu Wanqiu's spiritual sea...

Without hesitation, Gu Shen wants to fall asleep again.

This time, it was Mu Wanqiu's dream!
Although Mu Wanqiu's [Judge] has an S-level ability and has a special connection with Styx, it doesn't mean that she can quickly break free from this nightmare like herself.

And there are too many "pupil lights" covering her body.

The remnants of these holy judges seem to be superimposed.

No matter how strong the spiritual will is, it may be difficult for an extraordinary person to resist this level of torture...

But unexpectedly——

A "chi" sound!
When the blazing fire hit Mu Wanqiu's eyebrows, it was blocked.

A huge snow-white phantom suddenly appeared, it was the "judge" in the state of no owner, even without the blessing of the master's will, the judge's strike speed was still extremely fast, and in an instant, he pinched Gu Shen's fiery body with his bare hands. fire.

Gu Shen was a little helpless.

His battle with Meng Xiao consumed a lot of energy, and he was still trapped by the golden hoop... It was almost impossible to break free from [Judge] with such a weak flame.

Judge Xuebai held the blazing fire, and cast a puzzled look at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen pointed at Mu Wanqiu and spoke sincerely, spreading his heart out with flames.

"I'm here to save her."

I don't know...whether this guy can understand human speech.

"..."

There was a brief silence.

The judge in pale snow clothes stared at the blazing flames jumping at his fingertips, and seemed to be lost in thought. Finally, he looked at Gu Shen, nodded slowly, and let go of his fingers, allowing the blazing flames to crash into the master's body. In the spiritual sea.

Fortunately, this guy can understand, and his intelligence is not low.

Gu Shen heaved a sigh of relief. The situation was urgent. He manipulated the blazing fire and directly swept into the spiritual sea of ​​this S-level Beizhou. Just like the rumors, Mu Wanqiu was a spiritual transcendent who had crossed two realms. There are layers of restrictions in the spiritual sea to prevent encountering sudden "hypnosis".

It's just that these levels were quickly broken through by Blazing Fire!
"Ding dong."

Between lightning and flint.

The scene in front of Gu Shen changed rapidly.

He once again... returned to the battlefield 20 years ago.

……

……

Dreamland is a nihilistic world built by spiritual power.

Every dreamer can "wake up" in this nihilistic world not the first time he falls asleep.

Realizing that you are "in a dream" takes time.

The speed of waking up is related to the strength of the transcendent's mental strength and the firmness of willpower.

Even though Mu Wanqiu is a first-class spiritual genius, she still wakes up a little later than Gu Shen... because there are too many "pupils" covering her, those holy inquisitors are like It's a grieving ghost who owes debts. He hasn't met a creditor in 800 years. Now that he finally meets a living person, he rushes towards her spiritual sea.

Every holy inquisitor abandoned by Pluto in the hall, after "waking up", only does one thing... that is to find "living people", drag "living people" into dreams, and torture them to death!

Originally, the two people who stepped into this hall would be dragged into a dream, each bearing half of the grievances.

But under the protection of "Underworld Fire", Gu Shen quickly broke free from the dream, and that part of the blood-colored pupils that had shrouded Gu Shen's body quickly shifted away... These dead bones directly found Mu Wanqiu.

What awaited her was not a nightmare.

But countless hundreds and thousands of games!

Cannon fire flew up, screaming again and again.

"I am here... on the battlefield where the Holy Inquisitors fought against Hades 20 years ago!"

After Mu Wanqiu woke up, her reaction speed was extremely fast.

The holy inquisitor she was staying at the moment was the "lucky guy" at the end of the team who hadn't had time to charge in the future. This nightmare started very early, giving her plenty of time to react.

of course.

Luck...is only relative.

When she realized what all this meant, Pluto's divine thoughts had already swept from the depths of the hall.

In an instant, these Holy Inquisitors were wiped out.

The time between the reserve soldiers at the back of the team and the charge in front of the team was only a few seconds apart when their bodies were shattered.

"These 'blood-coloured pupils'... are issued by the Holy Inquisitor!"

Mu Wanqiu felt a sharp pain in her spirit.

It was the first time she saw such a strange curse in this world, the holy inquisitor, who had been dead for many years, was silent in the palace of Hades, dragging people behind... And then, she saw the scene in her nightmare!

The Styx is mighty!

Sweeping the souls of hundreds of Holy Inquisitors!

Pluto sat at the end of the long river shrouded in black mist, without saying a word, and tried his best to use thunder. The souls of these holy judges were washed away time and time again...

Mu Wanqiu wanted to struggle, wanted to summon the [Judge]!
But all failed.

Her ability was completely forbidden in this dream, because the curse of the Holy Inquisitor was bestowed by Hades, which is the suppression of absolute personality... She completely lost contact with [Judge], in this Styx On top of it, it seems to have become a ray of lonely ghosts that no one cares about.

So Mu Wanqiu could only be forced to feel the mental torture that the Holy Inquisitor who pulled her into a dream had experienced back then.

Because it is a [bystander], and its mental power is strong enough.

She is very clear that these pains are not tortures directly imposed on her.

She can tell the difference between reality and fiction.

And then... after the Holy Inquisitor's soul exploded, she had an ominous premonition.

The waters of the Styx swept her over.

Familiar faces appeared in my mind.

My parents, relatives...

Lu Zhe, legion commander...

The dark method that once tortured the Holy Inquisitor to a mental breakdown is about to repeat itself? !

Mu Wanqiu gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and prepared to resist.

However, what I never expected was... when he was about to resist the mental shock, a face that shouldn't appear here appeared in Mu Wanqiu's mind for no reason.

A face with flames burning between the brows, handsome and young, barely good-looking.

"Gu Shen..."

Mu Wanqiu was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously read the name of the person in her mind.

Wait a minute...why is it Gu Shen?
I have only known this guy for a few days, and I have only spoken a few words with him.

To describe it as a chance encounter is a bit too warm.

Shouldn't the mental torture of this nightmare go straight to the biggest "weak spot" in my heart?
Just when Mu Wanqiu was at a loss.

In her mental sea, another auditory hallucination seemed to appear.

"it's me."

The tumbling black water of the Styx stopped abruptly just before it hit Mu Wanqiu's forehead.

Five slender fingers gathered and formed in the turbulent river water.

The second extraordinary person stepped into this nightmare unreasonably!

In the Styx River, countless holy judges looked at the place where Mu Wanqiu's soul was floating, roaring and roaring. Their holy and bright faces had already been eroded by the black water and melted so badly that they looked more like ghosts.

And not a single drop of water from the Styx River fell on her body.

Gu Shen stood in front of Mu Wanqiu's soul.

He gently wiped it with his hand.

An extremely slender line of fire cuts the water curtain in the air, and cuts the roar of the boiling river into pieces——

This scene.

It's too shocking.

Mu Wanqiu stared blankly at the young figure with her back facing her, and once suspected that this moment was the real illusion.

"I'm here to get you out."

Gu Shen didn't look back, and said softly: "Don't resist, catch this wisp of fire."

He stretched out two fingers and wiped them lightly in front of his face, the slender strand of fire shrank again and was gathered by him.

Mu Wanqiu stretched out her hands, holding the pale flame carefully.

She was a little bewildered.

She once wanted to observe Gu Shen's "blaze" up close...

But unfortunately, that opportunity was fleeting, and I didn't grasp it at the time.

And now.

She held the blazing fire "as she wished" and was able to look at it carefully.

However, Mu Wanqiu didn't see anything special about Gu Shen's "Blazing Fire".

If you say the only special place.

It was after holding the flame by himself——

The originally tense heart soon ceased to be agitated, and the images that surfaced in the mind disappeared. Only the extraordinary who experienced the spiritual impact of the Styx would know... the spiritual sea can be calm under the shroud of the Styx , What a blessing.

She looked at Gu Shen in front of her with a complicated expression.

The original unreasonable thought resurfaced again.

……

……

Gu Shen's gaze was always on the end of the long river.

The Holy Inquisitor's filthy dream, it is actually not difficult for him to get rid of it himself.

I want to take people away.

It's not that simple.

Accompanied by the Tongtian figure on the throne, leaning forward slightly, a weight that could crush the entire world also poured down... It's just that this pressure is not on Mu Wanqiu's soul.

The water of the Styx River splashed in all directions, and the whole world seemed to be tilted at an angle.

There is no flame burning between Gu Shen's brows.

His "fire" was given to Mu Wanqiu.

But the identity of "Pluto" is still there.

Perhaps it was because of the fact that they had only met once before, but Gu Shen always felt that the Pluto in front of him was not really oppressing him... The leaning forward posture seemed to convey a very simple meaning.

Why are you here again? !

Of course Pluto would not speak.

The Styx River was in a state of boiling chaos, except for the curse and roar of the Holy Inquisitor's soul, there was only the sound of the majestic thunder continuously exploding on the river.

Gu Shen said word by word, looking at the tall black shadow, and said seriously: "I'll take him away."

Done.

He turned his head slightly.

The person who indicated that he wanted to take it away was Mu Wanqiu.

"boom!"

A thunderbolt exploded not far from Gu Shen!

This is exactly what Pluto responded to him!

With people?

Impossible!

This filthy dream is a curse created by Pluto himself.

Back then, his Styx was about to be consummated...but he was destroyed by the Holy Throne led by the Holy Disarmament Corps. These holy inquisitors who charged first without knowing their life and death were sealed away in the dark hall forever by him, just to vent their anger.

The Pluto in this remnant dream is full of anger, and will not let any soul fall into the river of Styx!

of course……

This is just a dream after all.

If you can survive the next "mental torture", you can escape.

It's just that the Pluto back then probably didn't expect that the means of venting his anger would meet Gu Shen 20 years later.

In any case, this remnant dream was woven by the power of "Underworld Fire".

When Minghuo sees Minghuo, they will naturally not kill each other.

But it's too much to want to take people away.

The blood-colored thunder exploded on the surface of the Styx River several times in succession. This monstrous anger seemed to be a severe questioning and threat.

Gu Shen did not retreat an inch.

Facing the black shadow at the end of the long river, he said slowly, "You can't touch her. She is the apostle of Hades."

Mu Wanqiu: "???"

Shadow: "..."

However, Mu Wanqiu was surprised to find that after Gu Shen finished speaking, the thunder on the river seemed to have stopped falling!
The dark being who was leaning forward slowly sat back and stretched out a palm to support his chin.

"Pluto" seemed to be lost in thought.

All of a sudden, the sense of oppression dissipated a lot, and the thunder on the river gradually subsided, leaving only the holy inquisitors screaming miserably after being tortured and collapsed.

"Read it with me."

Gu Shen glanced back at Mu Wanqiu, and said, "I hate light."

"I hate light!"

Mu Wanqiu spoke without hesitation.

She spoke frankly from the bottom of her heart, "I hate the City of Light, the Holy Inquisitor, and the Seat of Light!"

This statement came out.

Mu Wanqiu had an illusion.

The water of the Styx River seemed to have become gentler.

She looked nervously at the black figure sitting on the throne, the blood pupil of "Pluto" seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, even though she knew that she was not lying, she was still a little nervous, and couldn't help casting a questioning look at Gu Shen.

Need I say more?
Gu Shen saw the meaning of Mu Wanqiu's question and shook his head.

After a short wait.

"Ah……"

There seemed to be an illusory faint laugh sounding from the dome.

Pluto's face shrouded in mist slowly nodded, and Mu Wanqiu's soul relaxed for a while.

She returns to reality.

"Clap!"

The long knife fell, oscillating continuously, and finally returned to calm.

Back to reality, Mu Wanqiu gasped heavily.

She stood on her knees.

Countless blood-colored pupils slowly moved away from her body...

Mu Wanqiu stretched out her hand with lingering fear, and held the long knife again, but even so, the sense of security in her heart did not increase any more.

Her physical body, in the nightmare just now, had become so weak unknowingly that after she returned to reality, she couldn't even gather enough strength to hold the handle of the knife...

Without any choice.

With a knife in both hands, she barely stood up.

"Are you okay?"

A gentle voice sounded not far away.

At this moment, Gu Shen's state actually looks better than Mu Wanqiu's...

The nightmare just now caused negligible damage to him.

"It's okay...it's just a little mental setback, and it will recover soon."

Mu Wanqiu leaned against the stone wall, her voice slightly hoarse.

After experiencing the nightmare just now, she no longer dared to take out a knife easily, let alone hack these resentful "Holy Inquisitors".

Those dry bones chopped by her were crackling and bouncing in the darkness.

They are long dead.

They are long gone.

Due to the curse of "Pluto", even if they are cut into tens of millions of pieces, they can still be reassembled.

Mu Wanqiu suddenly felt something in her heart. She raised her head and looked at the [Judge] who had been guarding her side during the dream, the tall and burly snow-white ghost, and nodded to her master at this moment.

It is like holding up a lamp, holding a ray of "blazing fire" from Gu Shen.

Mu Wanqiu had a complicated expression.

It was this ray of flame.

Protected his own soul.

She said hoarsely, "Brother Gu...thanks."

Tsk, the address has changed, from calling him by his first name to Brother Gu.

Gu Shen smiled, shook his head and said, "You don't need to say thanks, I owe you this."

He was hunted down by Meng Xiao before, if Mu Wanqiu hadn't accidentally opened the [gate] to the Styx, he wouldn't be standing here now.

Mu Wanqiu nodded and didn't say much.

Regarding this matter... It seems that Mu Wanqiu just wrote a thank you lightly, and Gu Shenfeng replied lightly that you are welcome, and it was over.

But this is not the case.

Mu Wanqiu has never been the kind of hypocritical and reserved person, she does things swiftly and resolutely, and she is extremely principled.

Reciprocate.

There is revenge.

To her, saving Gu Shen's life earlier was just following her heart.

She never thought of asking Gu Shen to pay back.

But now that Gu Shen has saved him, this is a kindness.

Gu Shen could not care, but she couldn't.

"You said earlier... I am the apostle of Hades..."

After recovering for a while, Mu Wanqiu suddenly thought of a very important thing.

"you……"

She stared into Gu Shen's eyes, trying to force Gu Shen's real identity.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted.

"Don't forget, I have entered your spiritual sea."

With a calm face, Gu Shen said, "Of course I saw your ulterior 'secret nightmare' too... I need to explain that I am not in the habit of spying on dreams. In that case, I want to save you , I have no choice."

"When you step into the Duolu River, you will be haunted by the dream of the Styx. In that dream, [Judge] will take you across with a big banner, to see the Hades at the end of the other side."

Gu Shen told the content of that dream.

He asked indifferently: "You are not the [Apostle] of Pluto, who is?"
