Light City is searching for the heir of the Netherworld King.
Jia Wei believes that he is the heir of the Netherworld King—
He has provided a way to prove it.
Countless eyes fell on Gu Shen, all waiting for Gu Shen’s response.
Batu, exasperated, wanted to raise the [Lantern] again, but the entire Red Lake sky was boiling and surging under the sea of flas. The subsequent raised [Lanterns] were also scorched clean by the Chi Huo. The live broadcast of the deep water area remained clear, and everyone witnessed the second sunset night of Light City.
And they saw the response chosen by Gu Shen.
Gu Shen chose to move forward.
He stepped onto the Red Lake.
The lake surface was very smooth, without a single crack.
Jia Wei’s face, covered by the Bright Armor, showed no expression, but under the reflection of the blazing sky, the Light Breaking Spear seed sowhat dim.
Gu Shen not only stepped onto the Red Lake, but walked steadily, with each step creating no ripples.
From his performance of walking on the lake alone—
Gu Shen’s mind was clearer, his spirit more stable than the six preceding finalists who fell into the water—what the Light Temple calls "enlightened by the light."
He looked at the man in front of him and spoke with a smile.
"So... am I the Netherworld King?"
Jia Wei’s throat trembled slightly, his gaze revealing confusion and puzzlent for the first ti.
In fact, such a thought had flashed through his mind more than once.
When Yao Jin ca to him, he wondered... why did he receive a "kill Gu Shen" divine guidance at Sangzhou Cave? Why was the guidance so ingenious, yet so tily?
As a Great Knight.
He had only one choice, which was to accept it.
But at this mont, his perception diverged from the guidance, and he could not understand the reason for this phenonon.
He chose to grasp his spear firmly.
He was convinced that there was a darker, deeper face hiding under Gu Shen’s surface, just as he had witnessed during the war against the Netherworld King years ago...
The body of the Netherworld King was laden with countless ons and calamities.
This could not be concealed in any way.
He resolved to pierce Gu Shen’s disguise and, in doing so, pierce through Gu Shen’s chest as well!
Just like... six years ago!
"Kill!"
The furious roar of the Holy Judge pierced through Red Lake, as the Light Breaking Spear slashed through abruptly, piercing Gu Shen’s black robe in an instant, but Jia Wei stopped abruptly and retreated, thrusting another spear towards his rear. The initially pierced black robe had already dissipated into an illusion in the night—
Gu Shen brought his hands together.
Clang!
An extrely harsh sound of tal clashing spread across the lake.
Of course, Gu Shen could not take Jia Wei’s Light Breaking Spear with his bare body; he knew very well the kind of adversary he faced.
Encased in countless iron scales.
Gu Shen forcefully grasped this extrely scorching Holy Light spear, as Jia Wei advanced, he retreated. Everywhere they passed, the red lake water carrying the essence of light exploded continuously.
[Chi Huo] and [Pure Land], the two great domains, descended simultaneously.
The lake water cascading down evaporated into blazing steam, while the other half froze into ice shards.
The elental erosion of these two great domains also spread through Gu Shen’s palms.
At this mont, the two were connected by a long spear, with the ultimate erosion of ice and fire using the "Light Breaking Spear" as a bridge.
"Sizzle."
"Crack."
Jia Wei’s [Bright Armor], half of which endured the scorching burn, while the other half suffered the icy wave—
His speed did not decrease in the slightest, instead, it beca even swifter!
This spear penetrated several miles, dragging Gu Shen directly into the center of the lake. Just as they were about to crash into the mist, Gu Shen stomped heavily on the lake water, as if stepping onto solid ground. During this entire retreat, he continually eased the force, and by now had dissipated most of the killing intent of the Light Breaking Spear, leaving only the direct confrontation!
Clang!
With hands crossed, Gu Shen directly snapped the spear tip of the "Light Breaking Spear"!
Jia Wei’s pupils contracted.
This spear had been condensed by his first domain [Light Breaking]; his ability to maneuver among Fourth-order Transcendents was due to this first domain [Light Breaking], specifically designed to crush those Elental Transcendents.
The Light Breaking Spear could ignore elents and strike directly at the true form!
Years ago at Sangzhou Cave.
With a single spear, he almost took the life of the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy!
However, Gu Shen had long observed the battle between Jia Wei and the Vermilion Bird at Sangzhou Cave, and thus he made no attempt to dodge through so-called "elentalization," but instead, continually tempered Jia Wei’s first domain with two fundantally contrasting elents.
The things of this world oppose and complent each other.
A spear pursuing sharpness, if it fails to defeat the enemy in one strike, and is instead entwined by the eroding elents of "Chi Huo" and "Silent Snow," would also be broken!
After the spear tip was snapped.
Gu Shen did not retreat but stepped forward instead.
Countless silver lights gathered in his palm.
Under the [Truth] augntation, he launched a heavy punch!
Jia Wei realized imdiately that sothing was wrong. With the Light Breaking Spear’s tip snapped, he quickly braced himself, trying to replicate the previous move of warding off "Chi Huo"—
But this ti.
Gu Shen’s punch was too fast.
And very direct, with no detours.
With a "thud," it resembled the sound of a war drum being struck, as Gu Shen’s punch landed directly on Jia Wei’s helt. Caught off guard, the Red Lake guardian was knocked back hundreds of ters, akin to a stone skipping across the water, eventually struggling to stand while holding his head.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Jia Wei’s head buzzed violently, and his expression turned gloomy.
In all his years of fighting enemies,
This was the first ti he had encountered such a wild style of boxing, launching a head-on attack at his head? Did Gu Shen not know he was wearing the S-class sealing item [Bright Armor]?
"This punch... was for my friend... He really wanted to beat you up, so this punch fulfills that wish for him."
From a distance, Gu Shen’s voice echoed.
Friend?
Jia Wei found it absurd, recalling the guy who had been staring at him earlier. Could it be that Gu Shen was talking about Song Ci?
"Heh..."
He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, shaking his head to clear his mind quite a bit.
Upon seeing Gu Shen again, Jia Wei couldn’t help but let out a derisive laugh.
That punch left him with a dizzy head... but Gu Shen also paid the price.
He saw clearly that Gu Shen’s left hand was bleeding!
Punching the Bright Armor required enduring several tis the force of a counter-shock—
Such is the power of the S-class sealing item!
Gu Shen noticed Jia Wei’s gaze.
Expressionless, he glanced at his bleeding palm, casually flicked it, and under the fire of vitality, the blood was quickly burned dry, the scab peeled off, leaving not even a white mark.
After this punch.
The silver light in Gu Shen’s palm gradually ford into a large bow.
As he drew the bowstring and nocked the arrow, he said coldly, "Next, I will resolve you... in my own way."
