Bulwark of Light

Chapter 968

The wind blows and the waves break, and the sand makes a sound.

"Elder Mu, there's no need to send it away anymore, I'll be fine here."

Wu Tuo smiled and spoke to the white-robed old man in front of him.

He and Yao Jin have known each other since they were young. At that time, both of them were just shadows of the temple. After being selected by the Great Elder, they were thrown into the sect of the Holy Inquisitor Mu Xin.

Although he is called an "elder", Mu Xin actually has no status and identity in the temple. There is no other position in the main table, and he can only teach some young seedlings in the Holy Order.

"Yao Jin told me to make sure you arrive at 'Xihaidu' safely."

Mu Xin said softly: "These days you have avoided the limelight in your room. It is said that the Gu Nanfeng Mission has arrived in Hong Kong and will go to the city soon... Your defection to Dongzhou, even if Nagano does not bring it to the table, it will not I will easily suffer this loss. The act of leaving the city last night was already very risky."

"If you want to lure the Dongzhou assassin, how can you not pay a little price?"

Wu Tuo smiled, "It was worthwhile to go out of the city last night. The person who killed me must have been caught by Yao Jin."

"No matter what, I've been guarding Xihaidu for the past few days."

Mu Xin said: "Wait for Yao Jin to come back and make sure he is safe, then you can restore your 'temple status'."

"That's hard work, elder."

Wu Tuo saluted subconsciously, and then realized that this was Nagano's etiquette, and his eyes flashed a complicated look.

"It's okay."

Mu Xin smiled and left.

Xihaidu is the hiding place prepared by Yao Jin for Wutuo. The Holy Inquisitor controls the westernmost sea area of ​​Xizhou and divides it into hundreds of areas. This place is heavily guarded and no one is allowed to go to sea without the permission of the temple.

When Wu Tuo returned to his residence, he froze the moment he opened the door.

I don't know if it's my own delusion.

The indescribable silence of this world...

The giant tree in the courtyard cast a shadow, and under this shadow, at some point, there was already a figure.

"came back?"

The man was lying on the chair, as if he was dozing off, and now he spoke lazily, with a smile in his voice.

"Who are you?!"

Wu Tuo's expression suddenly changed, and within the scope of his spiritual perception, there was no such person at all.

He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but a piece of green runes rose up, covering the entire courtyard!
"In order to grasp the 'power', the Xizhou Temple has arranged the 'Xihaidu' outside Guangming City. It is close to the sea of ​​source quality and has a lot of abundant supplies, but there is only one shortcoming... It is not within the scope of the God's Domain."

The man on the recliner slowly sat up and stretched his waist: "So the temple has deployed heavy troops and sent a large number of holy inquisitors to strictly guard the long line of the West Sea. Maybe I should have thought that you are hidden here."

Wu Tuo looked at the man in the shadows, his eyes were like seeing a ghost!
That ghost mask... the familiar ghost mask appeared again!
The person who came to assassinate him last night was wearing this mask, he will never admit his mistake!
After the assassination failed, the man was shot by himself, and he should have been seriously injured. He should have been captured by Yao Jin at this moment!
How could this be?
"No, you're not him..."

In just a moment, Wu Tuo understood a lot. The evil spirit in front of him is definitely not the evil spirit who assassinated last night. This guy's spiritual aura is many times stronger than the one last night!
"Shall we make a deal?"

Gu Shen sat upright, looked at the traitor in front of him earnestly, and said, "If you are willing to answer a question for me, I can let you go away more peacefully...with less pain."

"???"

Wu Tuo stared at Gu Shen.

He wanted to see through the face under the mask of the evil ghost, but the more he looked, the more he felt palpitations.

Since believing in the light.

He has never had such an absurd and weird feeling... The eyes under the mask are like an abyss, if he looks twice, his whole soul seems to be extinguished!
An indescribable terror spread in my heart.

"Before the Dongse family was exposed, you had already fled. Even if Yao Jin has great abilities, it is impossible to expect that the 'No. [-] secret thread' will leak later."

Gu Shen smiled lightly and asked: "I'm curious, how did he manage to 'prophet'?"

"..."

Wu Tuo didn't answer, cold sweat kept oozing from his forehead.

At this moment, he was full of thoughts about how he should escape next.

From the moment he pushed the door, he felt that something was wrong. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that he had made a very serious mistake.

That is to underestimate Dongzhou...

After working for so long in the tribunal, he claimed to know most of the secrets of Dongzhou's high-level officials, but he never imagined that there was such a powerful extraordinary person hidden in Dongzhou. I have heard of the existence of such a person.

There are some people who know at a glance that they will never be able to beat them.

The evil spirit in front of him is such a person.

"Aren't you going to answer?"

Gu Shen sighed softly, stood up, stretched out an arm, and spread his five fingers in the void.

clang clang clang!

The crisp sound of brushing scales splashed in the void, and countless iron scales flitted in front of Gu Shen's palm, and finally condensed into a simple and unpretentious three-foot iron sword.

At this moment, Wu Tuo put away all the complicated thoughts in his mind.

He made up his mind and suddenly bit the tip of his tongue to focus himself.

boom!
Uto raised his arm sharply.

[Red Phoenix Crossbow] burst out a golden light in the air!

After a night's rest, his mental strength has recovered a lot. He didn't hold back the arrow at all, and an extremely fierce golden arrow shot directly between Gu Shen's eyebrows!

"Heh" chuckled.

Gu Shen held the sword of the Iron Throne, and with his backhand he made an unpretentious slash. The light of the sword splashed all over the place, as if a blacksmith had cast it, and the silver light filled the courtyard all of a sudden!
Directly smash the "strike" of this quasi-S-rank sealed item into pieces!
Even if it is a fake, the [Red Phoenix Crossbow] imitated by this temple still has extremely powerful lethality.

But... after all, this is just a sealed item, how much power it can truly display depends on the strength of its owner.

With Wu Tuo's mental strength, this [Red Phoenix Crossbow] can only kill the fourth rank at most. As for Gu Shen, a strong man who dominates the title field, this arrow is too bad to watch!

[Red Phoenix Crossbow] is very strong.

But Gu Shen...is stronger!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Wu Tuo's expression changed from pale to flushed in an instant. After he raised his arm and shot an arrow at Gu Shen, he immediately turned around and pressed his palm on the cyan wall surrounded by runes. From the very beginning, he never thought that he could resist Gu Shen. This evil ghost, this arrow is just to delay time, even if it is only a short second, it is the hope of escape.

He tried his best and used all his strength.

In an instant, the violent impact penetrated the wall, and a hole was broken through the protective barrier of the entire courtyard.

Wu Tuo got away at this moment, and he rushed out [-] meters in an instant, shouting at the backs of Mu Xin and the Holy Inquisitor.

"Elder Mu! Help me!"

At this moment, he seemed to see hope.

but……

The shadows of Mu Xin and the Holy Inquisitor crossing the West Sea did not stay in the slightest.

Uto froze.

The next moment, the evil ghost's figure flew out of the courtyard in an instant, and slapped Wu Tuo's head on the sand.

boom!
After a loud noise, Wu Tuo seemed to understand something.

He no longer resisted, just let Gu Shen press himself on the sand.

Staring blankly at the blurred shadow of Xi Haidu in the distance.

As the tide washed against the shore, his consciousness also became blurred, and a sharp pain hit him.

"answer me."

Gu Shen's tone was still extremely calm: "How did Yao Jin know that the 'Dongse House' would be investigated?"

"I……"

Wu Tuo closed his eyes, struggled in pain for a long time, and said hoarsely, "I don't know!"

He felt a sharp pain in his mind, and the tides that rose and fell with the waves seemed to pour into his head.

Finally, a long sigh.

His world went dark.

……

……

In the quiet small courtyard, the long sigh still lingered, and it took a long time to dissipate slowly.

The flowers and plants in this small courtyard sway with the wind, stretching their postures.

The walls are not broken, the tiles are not damaged.

Everything is left intact here because there was no fight at all.

Wu Tuo maintained the posture of pushing the door to enter, his eyes were dull, stuck in the shadows... From the beginning to the end, he did not really enter this small courtyard.

But what he saw was real.

There was indeed a figure wearing a ghost mask under the shade of the tree.

It's just that the ones behind are just illusions.

shout?Broken?escape?

Gu Shen would never have given Wu Tuo these chances at all... The real despair is not setting up a formation barrier in the material world to trap people inside.

Real despair is to create a prison.

From the moment he felt that the world was quiet and strange, Wu Tuo had already stepped into the dreamland woven by Gu Shen.

Yao Jin chased and killed Zhong Fan.

Gu Shen pursues and kills Wu Tuo.

If Zhong Fan hadn't appeared last night wearing a ghost mask, Gu Shen would not have followed his plan and set up this game... But killing "Wu Tuo" here is better than last night. Supported by Shenyu, they couldn't find out how Wu Tuo died.

the most important is.

There is a big reason for Wu Tuo's death in Xihaidu, which is Yao Jin's dereliction of duty.

It is expected that the progress of the Gu family mission on the other side should also be very smooth.

"The only pity is that you really don't know the answer..."

Gu Shen stood up, the last sigh of regret came from the failure of the torture in the dream.

Wu Tuo's spirit has been broken.

Forcibly searching the heart lake of a transcendent of this level has a high probability of failure.

Gu Shen said softly: "Okay, it's time to hit the road."

He came to Wu Tuo, helped him into the hospital, and sent him to the chair.

Wu Tuo's expression was extremely pale.

There is still fear and fear in the eyes...

Gu Shen smiled, stretched out two fingers, and tapped lightly on his forehead.

"Boom."

Wu Tuo's pupils split open, and the pitch-black color was like ink smudged.

This light tap, transmitted to the spiritual sea, is a complete collapse, and the violent shock turned into a tsunami.

"This [Red Phoenix Crossbow], although it is a fake, is still a good thing."

Gu Shen looked at Wu Tuo, and said calmly: "Think about it carefully, many of your treasures in Guangming City are with me, and you are really my nobles."

Bright blessing robe, disaster bracelet.

Now with this quasi-S rank [Red Phoenix Crossbow]...

These objects are all of great value. I am afraid that today's holy son Su Ye does not have so many valuables!
Gu Shen knew that the things of the Guangming Church were easy to handle and not easy to use, each item was marked, but it didn't matter, he just liked to hold it and didn't like to use it, after taking away the [Red Phoenix Crossbow], Gu Shen directly pressed it In the deepest part of the pure land domain.

After finishing all this, Gu Shen left the Xihaidu courtyard, and before leaving, he did not forget to close the courtyard door for the defected third adjudicator.
