Capítulo 1521: Chapter 220: Reunion at the Frozen Lake (Part 2)
“Hoo hoo hoo…”
The fierce wind scattered the snow dust, and under Gu Xiaoman’s feet, the ice of the frozen lake had already shattered. With just one blow, the ice surface within a hundred ters had broken into pieces.
She silently clenched the fist wearing the Finger Tiger, her five fingers nearly losing sensation.
The opponent’s strength was formidable and not to be underestimated.
The Hundred Explosion Finger Tiger punch just now, although it shattered the blade, cost her a price. Her entire forearm was now in a state of soreness and numbness.
“Honored one… since you’re here, why not co out and et?”
After taking a couple of deep breaths, Gu Xiaoman brushed off the snowflakes on her cloak. anwhile, her spiritual power quietly spread out, covering a hundred-ter radius, yet within her sensing range, there was dead silence underneath the frozen lake without a hint of living breath.
This was terrifying.
Top-tier assassins are adept at concealnt techniques, indeed able to remain perfectly hidden among their peers.
But facing powerful Spiritual searches, continuing to hide is no easy task.
Gu Xiaoman’s expression was incredibly solemn; the phenonon before her suggested only two possibilities.
Either this assassin failed in one strike and has retreated!
Or the assassin’s spiritual power is far stronger than hers!
She hoped for the forr in her heart, but the possibility of the forr was very slim… because her Heart Lake was still taut.
The intuition of a top-tier Spiritual genius never errs!
This indicated that the unknown danger was still present; the assassin must be nearby, waiting for her to expose a flaw and deliver a deadly blow.
The frozen lake was silent for several seconds, and suddenly a hoarse voice sounded.
“I’m here to kill you, why bother to et?”
This voice arose from nowhere.
Furthermore, it employed so kind of Secret Technique, modifying the voice so that one could not discern the identity of the speaker, whether they were male or female, their exact age, none could be known.
“If I guessed right, you should also be at the third tier, correct?”
Gu Xiaoman smiled faintly; sohow, hearing a response made her feel more at ease deep inside.
So she spoke loudly, continuing the conversation: “Are you under ‘Cloud Tiger’?”
Real assassins fighting for their lives would not waste words.
Since the other party spoke, she did not mind chatting further, because the unfolding of [Dissolving Dream] requires ti.
Out while roaming, she seldom used her ability.
This power of pulling dreams into reality, once used, exposes identity, causing great trouble… but now that a “familiar” has co knocking, there’s no need to hide anymore.
A wisp of pitch-black fissure appeared at her sleeve.
This fissure was extrely small.
But it genuinely tore through the void and silently spread out like a pitch-black little snake, winding along the maiden’s cloak and weaving below the frozen lake, steadily expanding—
“…”
Gu Xiaoman asked about identity, but the voice no longer responded.
“If you are serving soone, then tell , what price did your employer offer? I can pay double.”
Gu Xiaoman said calmly, “I am not interested in your identity, nor will I pursue your assassination.”
Above the frozen lake, it remained dead silent.
“As a gesture of sincerity, I can first give you a sealed item.”
Gu Xiaoman raised an eyebrow. She lifted a hand, taking off a ring engraved with three clouds: “This is an A-level sealed item, Cloud Ring. Each activation allows entry into the ‘Sky Divine Throne’s Dream’ for Spiritual Dream comprehension. Until the user comprehends their own ‘Spectator’s Mind,’ it can achieve twice the results with half the effort… This is a divine treasure that countless people dream of in cultivation.”
The silence of the frozen lake was broken.
The hoarse voice chuckled, evidently showing so interest in the Cloud Ring.
“Such a divine treasure?”
“Since you’re here to kill , you must know my identity… there’s no need for to deceive you about this matter.”
Gu Xiaoman said softly, “If you want to trade with , I can toss the ring out now… and never take it back, what do you say?”
“I don’t want the ring.”
The hoarse voice suddenly spoke, “I want the string of hand beads you wear on your hand.”
Gu Xiaoman fell silent instantly; she looked at her wrist where hung a simple and unadorned string of white hand beads.
When given to her, it counted seven beads.
Now… only five were left.
“Sorry, I can’t give you this string of hand beads.”
Gu Xiaoman shook her head; she pulled down her sleeve and said slowly, “This item is a disposable consumable; I’ve used two beads… its value isn’t as high as the ‘Cloud Ring.’ I have many valuable treasures on ; you may select anything else, but not this string of hand beads.”
“Is that so?”
The hoarse voice chuckled again, “Then I want the sealed item you wear or the bell pendant around your neck.”
Gu Xiaoman frowned.
She could understand the demand for the Hundred Explosion Finger Tiger, as it was indeed a very useful offensive-type sealed item.
But what did the requirent for the bell pendant an?
She puzzledly touched the bell pendant within her cloak’s lapel; the least valuable item she had was this little thing. It was the gift Shen Li gave her when they t five years ago, said to contain calming power, providing Sanctuary for the Transcendent’s ntal stability during cultivation. For an S-level Spiritual type, “ntal stability” was indeed basic.
Over the years, the only sealed item she hadn’t used was Shen Li’s bell pendant.
But Gu Xiaoman hadn’t ignored it; she wore it around her neck.
Seeing it brings mories of the person, seeing it brings mories of the person.
Perhaps this bell pendant really contained amazing power; wearing it indeed made her feel a warmth from within.
“Why do you want this sealed item…”
“Wait, who exactly are you?”
Gu Xiaoman asked suspiciously.
At this mont, she suddenly looked up.
Directly opposite her, amidst the wind and snow swirling mist, a “tall” figure slowly erged.
Tall because the figure was sitting on the shoulders of the [Thunder Realm Walker].
Bai Xiu looked complexly at the girl with the black cloak on the frozen lake, smiling with relief, “Xiaoman… it’s been five years, you’ve grown quite a bit taller, and you’re much more impressive than I imagined.”
Crackling, the Thunder Realm Walker dissipated on the spot.
White clothes landed as the hem fluttered like snow.
“Master Bai Xiu…”
Gu Xiaoman stood dazedly.
No wonder… no wonder…
She rushed across the shattered ice, colliding with the white figure.
Bai Xiu’s gaze first showed a hint of awkwardness, then gentle as he slowly extended a hand to gently pat Gu Xiaoman’s back, chuckling softly, “That string of hand beads is not sothing valuable; no need to treasure it so much. If it gets used up, or lost… I’ll give you more.”
“Things you give how would I lose…”
Gu Xiaoman’s voice choked up slightly as she lifted her eyes, so grievances still apparent.
“You’ve suffered during these five years at the Source Tower… have you?”
Bai Xiu’s smile gradually faded; he asked in a low voice, “Cloud Tiger, Xuan Turtle, and the new Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy… are they hostile to you?”
“I’ve had a great ti these five years!”
The girl quickly denied, her voice filled with disdain, “What are they? Who can bully ? Who dares to bully ?!”
Seeing Gu Xiaoman’s proud look like a little lion, Bai Xiu didn’t have the heart to expose her.
He understood what kind of person this little girl was.
Even if hurt, she’d only silently lick her wounds in a corner… Yet one thing Gu Xiaoman stated correctly.
She wouldn’t let herself be bullied without cause.
The original point where the frozen lake shattered, where Gu Xiaoman stood earlier, countless pitch-black little snakes slithered under the ice, enveloping and forming a pitch-black orb. That was the power released by [Dissolving Dream].
The earlier negotiation was but her delaying tactic; had she waited a bit longer and completed charging [Dissolving Dream], the situation would have reversed dramatically!
She had no intention of giving any sealed items she ntioned earlier, and wouldn’t deliver any!
