"Are we really leaving just like this?"
Vyas spoke hoarsely, "Those two won’t retreat?"
Shen Li carried him all the way to the highest point of the outer wall before setting him down.
"Co on... we’re here to solve the problem."
He said helplessly, "Can you have so faith in us?"
Vyas silently watched Shen Li.
"Alright... can you have so faith in them?"
Little Iron Man hesitated in the silence, then seriously said, "These two are S-tier from the East Continent, their ’Fourth Order’ is not the sa as your ’Fourth Order’."
"Not... the sa..."
Vyas struggled to stand up.
He looked towards the distant butterfly storm, and the two blazing lights among the hills.
...
...
"One, two, three..."
As the hills undulated, Gu Shen began counting in his heart.
He released his spirit.
And captured every wave of Extraordinary Aura underground, having experienced the battle of Frozen Lake, he knew too well the living habits of these "underground creatures." Before the storm arose, he had already prepared to face it.
"Ninety-three."
Gu Shen smiled and transmitted, "It’s hard to imagine, so many large moths bursting out from the surface... what kind of scene it would be."
"I’m curious too."
Bai Xiu’s expression remained calm, "Unfortunately, the Frozen Lake mission only had you diving deep..."
"Actually, the underground of the Frozen Lake is quite boring."
Gu Shen smiled, "If you want to check it out, the closing task will be yours later."
Just as he finished speaking,
The hill instantaneously blood, like a flower bud.
And when the flower blood, what it emitted was not a floral fragrance.
Rather, it was countless Empress Bird Wing Butterflies hidden within the flower buds... each at least thirty ters.
"It seems last night’s one was considered ’extra-large’."
Gu Shen swung his hand, iron scales flew and gathered into a blade.
His "Pure Land" domain instantly unfolded.
The sound of "ding ding dang dang" constantly exploded around him, as the swarm of Empress Bird Wing Butterflies surged forth, the dark tide-like spiritual attacks had already arrived. Gu Shen’s Divine Domain was as solid as a fortress, wind and snow swirling, hard to spread in the massive storm, it could solely cover a ten-ter radius enveloping him. Within this range, every attack was frozen by the "Pure Land."
On the other side,
Bai Xiu also unleashed his abilities.
The majestic divine image of [Thunder Realm Walker] floated behind him, Thunder Light surging. His power of domain control was evidently one level above that of current Gu Shen. Thunder Light road along the fringes of the dark storm, without suffering obvious "oppression."
This was expected.
Bai Xiu was already a Fourth Order Peak Transcendent.
Whereas Gu Shen, he rely possessed Fourth Order strength... currently, he was still at the Deep Sea Eighth Layer, in this kind of battle, he needed to rely on the "Pure Land" domain birthed from his third Super Realm.
"One person per side."
Gu Shen gripped the battle blade, saying, "The sooner we clear the field, the sooner we finish... those Transcendents from the Outer Continent will soon be here."
As he spoke, Bai Xiu rushed out.
Thunder Light surged.
Those Hate Light Empress Bird Wing Butterflies’ first reaction upon seeing [Thunder Realm Walker] was fury.
They spread their wings, charging out in rage, wanting to tear their target apart.
The storm sweeps the candle fla, and the candle fla will extinguish.
The storm clashes with the sun, and the storm will extinguish.
Bai Xiu remained expressionless, launching a "massacre" within the Empress Bird Wing Butterflies’ swarm, his strikes quick and ruthless, without the slightest deviation. Thunder Blade split each Empress Bird Wing Butterfly right down the middle, perfectly complete, and symtrical.
"Tsk."
Gu Shen only watched for a second before returning his gaze.
Amidst the storm, as the igniting "light and fire" initiator, he was targeted by more than half of the Empress Bird Wing Butterflies; at this mont, he lifted his head, facing a dense black tide, and overlapping compound eyes.
But it didn’t matter.
As long as spiritual power was strong enough, in this battle... it offered an almost "unbeatable" advantage.
Shen Li, Vyas, simply couldn’t resist.
Because their spirits couldn’t withstand the multiplied attack of the butterfly swarm.
But Gu Shen was different.
He flicked his battle blade, the frost of Pure Land covered it, the storm approaching, he walked into the furious waves, like sand swallowed by sea tides—calm and resolute—
"Buzz—"
Gu Shen raised the long blade, wiping his fingers lightly across.
His first strike, did nothing.
Just lifted it forward, blade standing straight, the Silent Annihilation intent of the Pure Land coupled with the extre sharpness attribute of the iron blade, directly cleaving the face of a "large moth" striking towards him.
"Individual strength, capable of threatening a Third-Order Transcendent..."
Gu Shen gave his preliminary assessnt.
"Disregarding the swarm traits and layered spiritual attack thods, with Shen Li’s strength, subduing and killing one within ten seconds could be achieved..."
"It’s just a pity."
"The numbers are simply too great."
Gu Shen wielded the blade with both hands, starting to run, crashing into the storm’s core, transforming into a swiftly moving blaze of fire because of the "Hate Light" trait. The Empress Bird Wing Butterflies, like fish in the deep sea, continually descended in the swirling storm to launch attacks on Gu Shen, yet they heavily underestimated the enemy’s power.
No need to wait for their pounce.
Gu Shen stepped on the giant butterflies, continuously climbing into the air, heading towards the storm’s pinnacle, locking onto the largest one when the underground butterfly swarm surfaced, the sixty-ter Butterfly King.
The Pure Land domain flew through the air.
The iron knife slicing like cutting vegetables.
From the walls of the distant outer wall, all the research institute combatants who witnessed this were enshrouded in silence... especially Vyas, though also Fourth Order, Gu Shen and Bai Xiu’s combat style far exceeded his expectations.
He couldn’t believe what Shen Li said, that these two were Transcendents of the sa level as himself!
Slaughter.
These two, against nearly a hundred Empress Bird Wing Butterflies, it was simply a massacre!
"Is this the ’S-tier’ of the East Continent?"
Adam unknowingly appeared here, calmly stating, "Very strong, however... the four Divine Envoys of Upper City are even stronger."
Shen Li turned back, glanced at Adam.
"Is that so? Why didn’t I feel that?" Little Iron Man sneered, speaking in annoyance, "Where were the Divine Envoys from Upper City when you were waiting for assistance?"
Unexpectedly.
Adam’s expression did not change, he continued calmly, "Perhaps pondering how to plunder the resources of Sangzhou Cave, even if they ca, they might not willingly cleanse these butterfly swarms."
"..."
Shen Li was montarily at a loss.
He initially thought Adam was speaking cynically, but unexpectedly, this guy was speaking the truth?
Little Iron Man scratched his head.
So is this ally, or an enemy?
"Sorry, I’m quite straightforward."
Adam pushed his glasses, saying, "If I rember correctly, a few years ago, there was also an ’S-tier’ in the Southern Continent. Only before they grew, they were killed by a Red Dragon of the sa realm. Evidently, ’S-tier’ though strong, is not invincible."
"Upper City is the most affluent city among the Five Continents, Transcendents who made it to the top under the Source Tower priesthood system, no longer need ’S-tier’ to prove themselves..."
"Of course, I believe the four Divine Envoys are mightier than these two mainly because they are ultimately just two."
Adam said blandly, "Whereas there are four Divine Envoys."
"Listening to you is like listening to a wall." Shen Li smirked sarcastically, "In a battle of the sa level, having one extra person makes a difference... If it’s one-on-one..."
"I’m afraid I would still vote for the ’Four Divine Envoys’."
Adam pointed at his chest, saying flatly, "Because one of them implanted a ’Black Silver Bomb’ in my heart, if I support the Outer Continent People, chances are I’d be directly blown up."
Shen Li went silent once more.
"Setting aside all subjective factors."
Adam said earnestly, "I think that one in white is the most capable, he should be able to tie with the Red Dragon, as for the one in black... he shouldn’t enter this selection."
"After all, the four Divine Envoys are genuinely all Fourth Order, possessing both creation and thods."
He stared into the storm, continuously slaying the butterfly swarm, that pure gaze seemingly penetrating Gu Shen’s Extraordinary Aura, peering directly into the soul’s essence.
Adam shifted his gaze, looking at Shen Li, smiling, "But no matter how strong a Third Order, they’re still just a Third Order... so in my opinion, in a battle of Divine Envoy Level, that one called Gu Shen hasn’t qualified yet to take part."
