Light Fortress

Chapter 1128 - 45: A Wisp of Fire for You (Part 2)

Just when he was caught in a dilemma.

Suddenly.

The vast Red Sea shattered open——

In the sky above the snowfield, a heart-wrenching scream echoed.

"Yuan Zhong, save me!!!"

...

...

Poison Ghost was close to collapse.

He had never seen such terrifying...

Third tier.

Yes, after a brief exchange, he became absolutely certain that Gu Shen was really just a third tier.

Except the ferocity of this third tier was enough to rank him in the top ten of the Tundra Prison list!

Originally, he scoffed at Gu Shen, dismissing him with disdain.

What East Continent prodigy, a one-in-ten-thousand S-class?

Just a third tier!

Until the battle, completely overwhelmed, he realized... describing this young man as a prodigy was not even accurate.

This damn guy is practically a future Divine Throne candidate!

What third-tier can achieve this, piercing through his "Red Sea Domain" with one glance and resisting a ton of Spiritual Poison from the snuff bottle unscathed?

In the moment Poison Ghost cried for help, Gu Shen made his move.

He never showed mercy.

Summoned by the [Iron Throne], countless iron shards flew into his raised palm, instantly forming a simple iron blade that he swung down fiercely.

"Buzz."

However, at the same time, the space before Gu Shen seemed to blur.

He squinted his eyes.

It appeared... [Space Cleave]!

The moment the space blurred, Poison Ghost’s figure also blurred... if nothing unexpected happened, after the space blur ended, [Space Cleave] would take Poison Ghost, shattering through the void to escape the peril directly!

This was how these three arrived!

"Heh, just couldn’t stay calm after all."

Gu Shen sneered coldly.

The Red Sea diffusion affected his spiritual power judgment, no matter how he searched, he could only find those three Deep Sea Tenth Layer Snow Cage criminals, as for the real killer of tonight, yet to be traced.

Yuan Zhong was exceptionally well-hidden, in the towering mountains, silently snowing.

He might stand in the shadows of the undulating snow mountains.

Or hiding in the snowy tides rolling in the deep night.

But it didn’t matter.

Because no matter how well-hidden, once he made a move, his true position would surely be exposed... the moment space blurred, Gu Shen didn’t hesitate anymore, unleashing his long-concealed "Great Cold Domain" immediately—

Rumble!

As a towering tree broke through the ground, the blurred space was instantly frozen by Gu Shen’s Silent Annihilation!

"Domain? Domain!!!"

Poison Ghost’s expression was terrified, in this world, yet another thing he couldn’t understand.

Frost quickly spread.

His expression was briefly frozen at that moment, Gu Shen’s spiritual intensity was indeed stronger than the Poison Ghost... but after all, he was only at Deep Sea Eighth Layer now, no matter how strong the spiritual power, it’s only relatively strong.

The Great Cold Domain could only freeze Poison Ghost for 0.5 seconds.

"Great Cold" descended!

The power of [Red Sleep Demon] revived on his body, countless red hairs sprouting, resisting freezing, frost, and annihilation!

But unfortunately.

In a strong duel, 0.5 seconds is enough to decide life and death!

In front of Yuan Zhong, Gu Shen raised his hand and the blade fell.

A single slash!

Neatly decapitating Poison Ghost!

Well, this is the nineteenth high-risk criminal, cutting this head wasn’t much harder than Tang Ran... Gu Shen thought truthfully as he looked at the head frozen underfoot.

But all this wasn’t over.

He extended his palm, Chi Huo burning in his palm, touched the "frozen" blurred space.

Gu Shen sneered, silently thinking to himself.

"Here’s a... nice gift for you."

As the Pure Land Domain retracted, the freezing lifted, the blurred space instantly departed far away, a thread of Chi Huo, attached to the [Space Cleave] Extraordinary Essence, sent far away to a distant place.

...

...

Far away in the distance.

On the other side of the snowy night.

Yuan Zhong, who had been on the mountaintop without moving an inch, suddenly furrowed his brow.

In the distant space, continuous blurring, continuous normalization.

A series of fluctuations surged, finally reaching him, the [Space Cleave] concluded, finally delivering a very faint, faint flame before him.

The dark, cold snow night mountaintop slowly lit up with a sliver of light.

Yuan Zhong’s expression turned very unpleasant.

This wasn’t what his [Space Cleave] should have returned.

This [Space Cleave] was supposed to bring back the defeated Poison Ghost...

"Poison Ghost, did he just die like that?"

Yuan Zhong felt a bit strange.

That young man seemed to use some mysterious power to briefly freeze his [Space Cleave]!

"Hiss..."

This tiny flame didn’t burn for long, extinguishing in a few seconds.

This strand of spirit only attached to the [Space Cleave] fluctuation for its lightness.

But the moment the flame ignited.

Yuan Zhong realized... his location had been exposed.

Tonight.

He sent three subordinates for a kill mission, while he himself refrained... not because he couldn’t make a move.

On the contrary, tonight’s assassination was prepared for him!

[Space Cleave] was a space-related ability, its extremely special effect allowed Yuan Zhong to strike from afar without traversing... His "purpose" has always been this Transcendent camp of over twenty people.

He intended to use [Space Cleave] to erase the entire camp from the map.

This required a long time.

And also... a very quiet environment.

But this fiery, unanticipated blaze broke the silence, and brought a hint of danger into Yuan Zhong’s heart.

Poison Ghost died too fast!

That third-tier named Gu Shen was really something else...

Yuan Zhong squinted, beginning to waver, questioning whether the original plan should still be maintained.

After the flame sent by [Space Cleave] ignited and extinguished.

Gu Shen’s heart already had a rough location.

"So far away, a dread ranked sixth, dares not personally attack and kill?"

He frowned, feeling puzzled, but this should be good news... because having a clear location of Yuan Zhong, his concerns were greatly reduced. If Yuan Zhong was nearby, a near Titled Deep Sea Eleventh Layer would only bring more pressure than now!

Now that Poison Ghost was dead, it was time to send off the other two as well!

And he wondered if Mu Qingyang was holding up.

...

...

On another side.

"What, the Poison Sea shattered directly?!"

Mu Qingyang was startled, then greatly delighted.

Did Poison Ghost die, was it Gu Shen who did it?

No matter what, with the Poison Sea domain broken, the pressure on him suddenly eased.

He turned to look at the White-haired Ghost, whose face once full of laughter now showed shock, eyes filled with disbelief.

"Hah!"

A great opportunity!

Mu Qingyang seized the moment, lightly kicked the gunstock, instantly striking again, catching the White-haired Ghost off guard, piercing his shoulder heavily.

The White-haired Ghost’s expression instantly turned hideous, then became frantic!

In a life-and-death struggle, he’s as tenacious as anyone... Each individual imprisoned in [Snow Cage] is a desperado!

He grabbed the gunstock, activating his power, thousands of strands of hair extending along the gunstock, wrapping around Mu Qingyang’s arm.

Green fire blazed wildly.

Hair burned away, growing back in a frenzy, as the White-haired Ghost fought desperately, and Mu Qingyang, perceiving his intent, became much calmer.

This battle had no real suspense!

No matter how the hair grew, it couldn’t resist the fire... the White-haired Ghost was losing his life, and Mu Qingyang, who now understood his intent, had a much calmer expression.

Now, it was his turn to worry...

Why hadn’t the strongest of them, "Yuan Zhong", supposedly Deep Sea Eleventh Layer, made a move yet?
