"I was struck by the Heavenly Sheath?"
Gu Shen’s heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.
Even though his body was covered in iron-scale skin, he was still hit.
The silver lining in this misfortune was due to the nature of "Chi Huo," Gu Shen possessed an exceedingly vast amount of stored elental energy within, tens of tis more than others of the sa level... Thus, in the initial stage when these Heavenly Sheath fragnts pierced him, he could still bear the strength of the curse.
If the woman hadn’t warned him.
He might not have realized it until later.
All nine Law Enforcers saw Gu Shen’s act of protection... Had Gu Shen not blocked the recent "explosion," they would have been the ones struck by the Heavenly Sheath.
They were imnsely grateful, yet equally fearful and guilty.
As one of the top leaders of this major extermination, Gu Shen took the strike from the Heavenly Sheath to protect them?
"Mr. Xiao Gu..."
The woman wanted to step forward to check the injury.
Gu Shen quickly waved his hand, signaling her to stop.
For such injuries, ordinary Transcendents’ examinations are futile, a waste of ti.
Gu Shen remained incredibly calm; since he was already hit... he might as well not fear the curse and should first extract the fragnts from his body!
He imdiately took out the Black Silver Box.
After the period of siege, this once empty box was now filled... This ti, Gu Shen did not use "Chi Huo" to wrap his fingertips; he directly stretched his hand, forcefully pinching out the fragnts from the wound.
The injuries were not severe.
But the curse of the Stone Sword had indeed rged into his blood.
This thing, when you use bare hands to "pinch," is entirely different from being stabbed for no reason... Earlier, during Gu Shen’s attempt to extract the Heavenly Sheath fragnts, he used "Netherworld Fire," using its wrap to leverage the Fla Power to counter the rules.
The curse of the Heavenly Sheath would be blocked by the Netherworld Fire.
And now... the curse had invaded his body, starting to take effect.
"...Hoo."
Gu Shen didn’t have ti to care about much else, as his body contained enough elental energy, the consumption at this mont was nothing, the urgent task was to first check the overall injuries of the Law Enforcers and stabilize the situation quickly.
He rushed deeper into the Snow Forest.
What he saw was devastation, this should have been a great victory.
Now... it was rather tragic.
The Law Enforcers participating in the encirclent of Kulong Snow Mountain, especially the first wave of attacking mbers, more or less experienced the sudden assault of "Heavenly Sheath fragnts"... Their wounds were not serious, so skin and flesh were torn, a few had injuries down to the bone.
But most deadly was that the curse had already landed.
They felt in horror as their "elental energy" slowly seeped away.
Currently, no thod has been found to break the Heavenly Sheath curse.
Before the Heavenly Sheath shattered, there were already special cases of "complete loss of ability" among those Transcendents who ca into "contact" with the fallen fragnts... Being stabbed was an even more severe injury.
This was likely an irreversible heavy wound.
Gu Shen’s spiritual power swept over the faces, dark and terrified...
He could guess what these people feared at this mont.
As Law Enforcers, they could bleed, be seriously injured, but losing all elental energy to beco a powerless ordinary person was the outco they could least accept.
Taking a deep breath.
In Gu Shen’s mind, the previously chaotic thoughts now beca very clear.
"Brother Gu, you’ve arrived!"
Mu Qingyang was carrying a mber of the Mu Family, upon seeing Gu Shen, he was very delighted, but his expression soon changed... Mu Qingyang had good eyesight; with just a glance, he spotted Gu Shen among the chaotic crowd.
But with another glance, he saw Gu Shen’s arm, still bleeding continuously amid the swirling flas.
With just this one glance, Mu Qingyang stood frozen.
"You..."
"I was struck by a Heavenly Sheath fragnt."
Gu Shen said softly, "The situation is urgent, no ti to explain, I have urgent matters and need to return to the defensive line once, the injured stats of the Reconnaissance Team are up to you..."
The Reconnaissance Team was under the joint responsibility of Gu Shen and Mu Qingyang.
He needed to withdraw.
Thus Mu Qingyang would need to take over the control on this side.
"No problem."
Mu Qingyang urgently asked, "Do the elders have any way with this injury?"
He thought Gu Shen was returning to seek treatnt.
"..."
Gu Shen shook his head, not saying much more.
He walked towards the muddy path down the mountain, and sent a ssage through the channel: "Bai Xiu, Gong Zi, tally the casualties of the Law Enforcent team... gather the Transcendents struck by the ’Heavenly Sheath’ and send them to the rear defensive line."
In this battle, most injuries would certainly be with the Law Enforcent team.
The Reconnaissance Team rely assisted in the attack, after all.
Kulong Snow Mountain was now utterly chaotic, with the Transcendents from the logistics departnt pouring in... The extermination had ended, but the stretchers they brought were all to carry their own people.
The entirely bloodstained Gu Shen arrived at the rear defensive line.
The A-level barrier [Divine Shrine] was still seated in the night sky, that ethereal God emitting strands of healing Holy Light, applying spiritual assistance to every friendly force in battle...
Gu Shen glanced at the God above, then looked into the distance of the position, where the young Li Qingsui was personally exerting to mobilize the sealing artifact.
The Changye Five Families, each family has a unique bloodline.
The sixteen-year-old Li Qingsui, though her Extraordinary Cultivation ability was weak, yet the effect of mobilizing this sealing artifact was quite substantial... This was likely due to the powerful bloodline force within her.
