"Finally found you, Gu Shen."
A soft sigh echoed on the snow-capped mountain path.
It was clear from this sigh that Zhen Yue’s group had not had a peaceful journey.
Gu Shen squinted his eyes, scrutinizing ng Xiao’s team. The fluttering black robes of Zhen Yue were stained with frost and crimson blood. It seed they had experienced battles. Had they also encountered the Mirror Dream duplicate?
Although he didn’t know exactly what these people had gone through before, Gu Shen knew that climbing the mountain was not an easy task.
Perhaps due to the Netherworld Fire he bore, his ascent had not encountered too many hardships. Yet, on the other side, Zhong Yuan, with Transcendent powers far stronger than his own, still hadn’t reached the summit.
This indicated the high configuration of ng Xiao’s team.
"Mr. ng."
Gu Shen spoke with a slow smile, "It’s truly a small world, and we et again."
How could he not know that ng Xiao had been watching him?
eting was only a matter of ti.
Since the banquet ended... his conflict with Zhen Yue had escalated completely!
Gu Shen still couldn’t figure out why the noble Duke Zhen Yue insisted on contending with him on this land.
Leaving aside the enmity between the Gu and ng families, what other reason could there be?
However, while ng Xiao pursued him, he was also waiting for this heir of Light City to confront him.
Who was the hunter, and who was the prey, could not be determined until the last mont!
"Indeed, quite the coincidence... you climbed faster than I expected."
ng Xiao, with a calm expression, looked around and corrected lightly, "Oh... not you all, just you. That blond dwarf seems to be still trapped in a nightmare. Are you hoping for him to co and save you?"
Gu Shen smiled inscrutably.
Just now, his "Spiritual Link" had reacted once more... this was a crucial piece of information, which suggested that Zhong Yuan’s team might be approaching the summit. As their distance shortened, the "Blazing Fire Connection" that had been severed beca clearer.
"Mr. ng, before we start... may I ask a question?"
Gu Shen asked with a smile, "What grudge do we have, for you to go to such lengths?"
"Good question."
ng Xiao lifted his palm, and the seven followers behind him silently assud their positions, ready to launch an attack at any mont. Near the snow-capped summit, they also saw scattered corpses and splattered blood.
Though the young man in front of them did not possess strong Transcendent power, seemingly only at the seventh layer, he was nevertheless S-class and likely had the power of a Transcendent capable of "cross-realm battles."
"I have no grudge against you."
The Duke of Zhen Yue gently stroked his bracelet, suddenly looked up, and seriously asked, "Can’t I kill you without a grudge?"
At that mont—
Gu Shen’s heart shook violently.
"Clang clang clang!"
The pendant of the Goddess of Destiny rang out sharply, urging Gu Shen to dodge!
With a "boom," an explosion erupted on the snow-capped summit.
Before his Transcendents could act, ng Xiao had already made the first move. In this deserted place, the Broken Chain Zone, everything he did would not be seen or recorded... ever since the banquet, he had been waiting for such an opportunity!
Now, finally, it had co!
The Duke of Zhen Yue tore open the front of his robe, a fierce Light Aura gathering at his chest, roaring out like a cannonball, smashing through black snow and mountain fog, blasting a straight column of light!
In an instant, it flattened the spot where Gu Shen had stood!
...
...
"Such terrifying killing power!"
Before ng Xiao’s words had fallen, Gu Shen reacted.
Without needing the pendant’s warning, he already knew what kind of character the Duke of Zhen Yue had.
A hunter who had tailed him for a hundred miles, intent on crushing him.
How could there be a fair duel?
Talking with ng Xiao was only to buy ti; Gu Shen never truly expected to get any so-called truth or answers... so naturally, he wouldn’t believe ng Xiao’s previous statents.
There is no causeless "killing intent" in this world.
Just as there is no causeless "affection."
The Duke of Zhen Yue seed so eager to kill him, his murderous intent so intense, even the pendant was in awe... there must be a reason he couldn’t reveal!
At the mont the light column burst, Gu Shen shifted sideways, narrowly avoiding the blazing light cannon, with a strand of hair brushing against a radiant "Light’s Power" from Light City, instantly burning!
This was a pure force entirely different from Blazing Fire.
Though it was hot.
It carried an unbearable "Light’s Power" that could not be gazed upon directly!
This, in contrast, was sowhat similar to Gu Changzhi’s "Golden Divine Domain."
After all, Mr. Gu Changzhi had studied and cultivated under Light God’s Seat, so the "Dao" between them naturally bore similarities... In the instant of the clash, Gu Shen felt that the power ng Xiao unleashed now ca from the Light God’s Seat!
This team’s privilege enjoynt probably stemd from this reason as well.
"Kill."
The failed strike of Zhen Yue left no hesitation.
The seven Transcendents behind him rose instantly. For a mont, there were several thunderous booms atop the snow-capped summit...
"It’s too late."
Gu Shen sighed softly in his heart, seeing ng Xiao’s decision to resolutely kill him here. Under such fierce assault, unless he used the Truth Ruler, he couldn’t delay any longer. It seed impossible to wait for Zhong Yuan to join him.
