Light Barrier

Chapter 571

Life or death, that is the question.

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

But at this moment, Meng Xiao doesn't think this is a problem... He is an extraordinary person who has completed the tenth-level mental test in the deep water area. He has advanced to the fourth level and controls the field.

And Gu Shen was only entering the third level for the first time.

The huge gap between the two means that he does not need to consider the outcome of this battle at all. Victory or defeat, life or death, these are things that only the weak have to consider.

"It seems that the place you want to escape is not here, right?"

Zhenyue raised her head.

Although the bottom of the Styx is very dark, you can still see some scenes under the blazing light... This river has not been stepped on by living creatures for unknown ages. The big rocks at the bottom of the river are illuminated by the dim light. Revealing a broken appearance of exhaustion and decay.

For ordinary people, such a scene has no memory.

But for extraordinary people.

no the same.

Every section of the Styx River bottom is different.

During the previous pursuit, Gu Shen seemed to have a very "clear" destination. However, when he got here, there was darkness and silence in all directions. It was obvious that this Dongzhou native was afraid that he would find something in the River Styx. So the choice was to change course.

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

He grinned and took out the Ruler of Truth. Encased in the blazing spiritual power, the silver-white Ruler seeped out a ray of darkness and black light, condensed in his palm, and turned into a slender and curved object.

It was a long bow wrapped in silver dragon scales.

Look from afar.

This long bow exudes the same aura of death as the water of the Black River, which is heart-stopping.

The ruler of truth can be shaped at will.

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!

To condense such a large bow requires a lot of mental energy.

However, it is not.

Gu Shen just casually visualized an idea of ​​"bow form" in his mind, let the Ruler of Truth transform it on its own, and began to conceive of the next attack. He didn't have much energy to outline the long bow. The details, the dragon scales and the bursts of murderous intent emanating from the appearance are all the work of the boring devil in the ruler.

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

After the light condensed, Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

The devil explained calmly: "This big bow is called 'Quiting the Candle'. It was the beloved object of a certain incredible guy. According to your current rating standards, it is a proper 'S-level' sealed object. Of course, what you are holding now is a fake, and if it can exert a lethality of 1/20, it would be pretty good."

Fake?

Just being a fake is enough to make people feel its weight!

Gu Shen twisted the weight of the dragon-scaled bow in disbelief, and muttered: "...I have not agreed to any other deals."

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

"It's free." The devil said angrily and amusingly: "With the enemy in front of us, do you still need to be so wary of me?"

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

"Don't get me wrong, I just hate the 'breath of light'." The devil said quietly: "The feeling of escaping on the mountain just now was very uncomfortable, wasn't it? Since the throne of light did not come successfully... then we cannot let this blessing Son, are you just going to poop and pee on my head like this?"

The wording is very vulgar.

But the truth is very true.

Gu Shen smiled softly, "Very good...you finally got the idea."

"Take it, the devil will be generous sometimes."

The dark figure on the throne waved leisurely, unusually magnanimously. He picked up the blood-colored goblet again and calmly said: "What's more, free things are the most expensive... aren't they?"

Gu Shen was startled.

next moment.

The shattering sound of the Styx River was transmitted into the spiritual sea.

The blazing fire floating in all directions caught the strangeness for the first time.

A laser cannon shot through the water of the River Styx and bombarded directly towards Gu Shen's position——

Meng Xiao used this trick during their first encounter on the Black Snow Mountain.

The blessing of light on his chest can be amplified and condensed through the robe, turned into extremely pure energy, and blasted out!

This is a powerful and heavy blow.

Normally, you should avoid it.

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

Empty pull!

The fake 【Candle Extinguishing】 was condensed by spiritual power, and the bowstring was also cast by the silver light of the Ruler of Truth. It was pulled full by Gu Shen in an instant. The silver-white dragon scales were instantly hot and boiling, stirring up pure gold. The color of fire!

Gu Shen loosened his fingers. Since the arrow was not loaded, 【Extinguish the Candle】 only shot an invisible sound wave.

"Rumble, rumble—"

Blackwater breaks.

"Isn't there still you?"

Gu Shen smiled faintly, and while resting, he teased the devil: "Don't you always want to trade? Send the genuine product to me. If I can't pull it off, won't the trade come now?"

The devil rolled his eyes.

Since its whole body was shrouded in black mist, its cheeks were also pitch black, so naturally there was no such thing as "eye whites"...

"Gu, please don't push yourself too far..."

The devil asked angrily: "Do you believe I will cancel the special service?"

Gu Shen rarely had the courage to fight back.

He silently grasped the big bow, feeling both a sense of security and some uneasiness... It has to be said that the devil's understanding of the "foot of truth" is much better than his own. Once the "gift" is cancelled, he will fight on his own. Meng Xiao's difficulty will suddenly rise.

Because all he can do now is to condense the bow form. Even if he memorizes all the appearance and details of 【Candle Extinguishing】 at this moment, he still cannot make his own replica.

In other words, Gu Shen couldn't even condense the 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 robe.

He re-examined the young man in front of him. Gu Shen was still caught in the big net closed by his "dark light". There was no need to rush into this battle.

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

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

This is a question that Gu Shen has always been confused about.

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

I have never been able to understand it.

Why on earth is this Grand Duke Zhenyue pursuing 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 on his chest. The aura of blessing that was floating like seaweed in the river instantly gathered like smoke. As he raised his palm, this wisp of blessing unexpectedly came together with Like the arc of the Ruler of Truth, it condensed and solidified, turning into a slender lightsaber, which he held in his palm.

The tip of the lightsaber was pointed at the center of Gu Shen's brow.

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's face was expressionless.

But deep down... my heart became gloomy.

This was the last thing he wanted to hear. He didn't want Meng Xiao to target him because Guangming City was pursuing Pluto...

What could be worse than being targeted by the God of Light?

It was incredible news that Pluto, who had fallen twenty years ago, resurrected and returned to East Continent.

Especially after the battle in the cemetery, Pluto disappeared again, making this already somewhat false news even more "misty".

certainly.

The whereabouts of Pluto have always been a mystery.

The other thrones can turn a blind eye, but the God of Light cannot remain indifferent.

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

"Now, whenever I see you, the murderous thoughts in my heart are as high as ever..."

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

Maybe it's because of the "ghost veil".

Or maybe it was because the flame between Gu Shen's brows turned pale.

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

Previously on the top of the black snow mountain, the light dissipated too quickly.

Master Shenzuo only had time to leave a simple guide for entering the river in a hurry.

As for what he was going to do after he went deep into the Black River... Lord Shenzuo didn't say much.

But at this moment, Meng Xiao was certain that this young man was inextricably linked to Pluto, Heihe, and his mission.

His eyes sparkled with golden light, and he shouted in a low voice, "What is the relationship between you and Hades?"

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

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

In his mind, 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 eliminate this young man who may pose a huge threat to Guangming City in the future.

Gu Shen didn't answer.

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

Silence is worth a thousand words.

Under countless blazing lights, the temperature of the Styx began to rise, and everything in all directions seemed to turn into a copper furnace. Gu Shen, who was burned by the holy light, had no expression on his face as he turned the 【Iron Throne】 with two fingers from his waist. After wiping the nameless iron armor on his side, he took out an iron arrow lightly, placed it on the bowstring of the dragon scale bow, and aimed it at Zhenyue.
