Bulwark of Light

Chapter 872 Reunion in Frozen Lake

The tundra area is covered with heavy snow.

A thin and small figure in a black cloak was walking in the heavy snow.

"drop."

"drop."

In a world of ice and snow, the cold wind howled, and a slight rhythmic electronic sound sounded on the snowy field.

The black cloaked figure walked forward silently, but after walking a certain distance, he still chose to connect.

"Did you see the news from [Yun Jing]?"

A man's low and helpless voice sounded from the communicator.

"..."

The strong wind blew, and the cloak was lifted, revealing a fair and somewhat sickly young girl's face.

Facing the questioning, the girl remained silent.

"The Tower of Origin summoned four envoys urgently, and a new mission has been dispatched from above. It is very important, and it is up to you now."

The red dragon sighed softly, "I should have told you that the training time to leave Central Continent this time is only one month, and when the time is up, you should consciously come back... Your identity is so sensitive, you should have a sense of security, you have to be clear , the outside world is not safe."

"beep--"

Before the red dragon could say more, the communicator was hung up by the girl.

She tore off her cloak completely and took a breath of icy air.

five years.

It has been five years since the Sangzhou Grotto sank.

In the past five years, Wuzhou has undergone many changes... But the tundra has not changed much. For hundreds of years, it has been icy and snowy, front, back, left, and right.

Gu Xiaoman looked at the pale ice and snow tundra, recalled the words of the red dragon in the communicator, and after a few seconds of contemplation, she made a decision.

Instead of turning back, he continued on.

Every step she takes is firm...

Because she has a destination she wants to reach.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, the frozen lake cracked open!
The girl in the black cloak reacted instantly.

When the first cracks opened on the lake under her feet, the thin and small figure realized the crisis. Her first reaction was not to retreat, but to strike first!

Gu Xiaoman suddenly drew his sword.

The knife she wears every day is not a famous weapon, but a simple and unpretentious purple silver folding knife.

A touch of snow-white brilliance burst out of the lake!

Gu Xiaoman's eyes were calm, he held the jackknife tightly, pointed at the light of the knife coming out of the lake, and slashed hard!

Shake hard!

"boom!"

Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of gold and iron, the impact of the needle tip on the wheat awn exploded thousands of flames!

The moment the girl in the black cloak held the jackknife behind her back with one hand and tapped on the surface of the frozen lake, she didn't look like a swordsman at all, but more like a brash man with a sledgehammer.

But it's a pity.

The "Assassin" under the frozen lake is stronger than her!

Juli came.

Gu Xiaoman let out a muffled snort, her whole arm was sore and numb, and her whole body was washed away by a huge force. In order to relieve the force, she gave up the point of the knife and continued to exert force on the point of the knife, so the wind and snow over the frozen lake blew away. A thin and small black-clothed figure was thrown flying by the blow, his feet left the ground and slid out a melodious curve.

The girl frowned, watching that the purple silver jackknife in her hand was split open in just one impact.

Where is the other party sacred?
Hiding under the frozen lake, the knife from the bottom up has such brute force!
Is this a strong attack system higher than his extraordinary realm?

It's just... No one knows about the news that I left the Tower of Origin, and it's even more impossible for people to guess when I came to the tundra. How could someone lie in ambush in such a place? Is this to assassinate me?

Too late to think about it.

A few seconds later, she landed on the frozen lake again. The moment the arc landed, the same sound of breaking the ice surface sounded, and the ghostly figure hiding under the frozen lake had already calculated the landing point and follow-up. The attack and kill.

Gu Xiaoman stepped back quickly, and did not hesitate to use his strength.

Each step is extremely imposing, stepping on the thick ice surface into a huge spider web——

What she has to do is not only to evade the assassin's continuous attacks under the frozen lake, but also to find out that sneaky and mysterious assassin from under the lake!
Heavy snow is flying, a hundred miles of frozen lake, wearing a black shirt.

This scene is beautiful.

The corners of the black shirt are like splashed ink, dancing in the crack of the frozen lake, like a butterfly on the cliff.

It’s just that the assassins under the lake are even more skilled. With heavy snow and mist shrouding the lake, Gu Xiaoman has not even seen clearly what material the opponent’s extremely sharp bayonet is made of. In her impression of the confrontation, only the ultimate Pale, it seems to be an intangible knife condensed from countless brilliance.

If so, it is very likely that the convenience is an elemental transcendent.

This game of slashing swords under the lake and sweeping back and stepping on the ground came to an end under Gu Xiaoman's change of formation. Her body energy was consumed seven or eighty-eight times, and the other party forcibly wanted to shrink her head. Let's see whose aura is longer... Gu Xiaoman simply stopped moving, and finally stepped on the lake with both feet, waiting for the knife pointing at him to break the lake!

"boom!"

At the moment when the surface of the lake was shining brightly, the girl in black took out a knuckle glove from her sleeve, and smashed it down heavily!

Hundreds of meters of wind and waves swept through.

With Gu Xiaoman as the center, the solid frozen lake with a radius of [-] meters was shattered in an instant. The "Hundred Explosive Finger Tiger" punched heavily on the snow-white brilliance, and successfully smashed the broken lake into pieces. Gu Xiaoman It also confirmed my conjecture that the knife that kept chasing and killing me was not a sealed item at all, but a light blade!
This is the ability of an elemental transcendent!

"Huhuhu..."

The strong wind blew away the snow and dust, and the solid ice of the frozen lake under Gu Xiaoman's feet had been shattered. With the blow just now, the ice surface within a hundred meters was broken into pieces of broken ice.

She silently clenched the fist on which she wore the knuckles, almost losing all feeling in her five fingers.

The opponent's strength is very strong and should not be underestimated.

Just now he punched a hundred-explosive knuckle, although he shattered the knife, but he also paid a certain price, and now his entire forearm is in a state of numbness.

"Your Excellency... Since you are here, why don't you come out and see me?"

After taking two deep breaths, Gu Xiaoman reached out and patted the snow particles on the cloak. During her speech, her mental power had spread silently, covering a radius of [-] meters. There was a dead silence under the lake, and there was no living breath.

This is terrifying.

Top assassins are proficient in concealment techniques, and can indeed hide perfectly among their peers.

But in the face of the powerful search of the spiritual system, it is no longer easy to continue to hide...

Gu Xiaoman's expression was extremely dignified. There are only two possibilities for the phenomenon in front of him.

Either the assassin failed in one hit and has already retreated!
Either the assassin's mental strength is far stronger than his own!
She hopes in her heart that it is the former, but the possibility of the former is extremely slim...because her heart is still tense at this moment.

The intuition of a top psychic genius never makes a mistake!

This shows that the danger from the unknown still exists, and the assassin must be nearby, waiting for him to reveal his flaws before giving him a fatal blow.

The frozen lake was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly a hoarse voice sounded.

"I'm here to kill you, why meet?"

The sound came from nowhere.

Moreover, some kind of subtle mystical method was used to modify it so that people could not detect the information of the voice owner. It was impossible to know whether the other party was a man or a woman or the exact age.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should also be in the third order, right?"

Gu Xiaoman smiled lightly, and for some reason, hearing the response made her feel more at ease.

So she spoke loudly and continued the conversation: "Are you a member of 'Yunhu'?"

A real assassin doesn't talk nonsense.

Since the other party has spoken, she doesn't mind continuing the conversation, because it takes time for the ability of [Yin Meng] to develop.

When walking outside, she rarely used her abilities.

This kind of power that pulls the dream and the reality, once used, will expose the identity and cause great trouble... But now that "acquaintances" have come to the door, there is no need to hide any more.

A black crack was born in her cuff.

This crack is extremely small.

But it actually tore apart the void, and spread out silently, like a small black snake, winding along the girl's cloak, just hiding under the frozen lake, expanding continuously——

"..."

Gu Xiaoman asked for his identity, but the voice stopped responding.

"If you're working for someone, tell me what your employer is asking you to pay, and I'll pay double."

Gu Xiaoman said calmly: "I am not interested in your identity, nor will I pursue your assassination."

Above the frozen lake, there was still dead silence.

"To show my sincerity, I can give you a sealed item first."

Gu Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. She raised a hand and took off a ring. This ring was engraved with three clouds: "This is a Grade A sealed item, the Ring of Clouds, which can be immersed every time it is activated." The dream of the sky god's throne' can be used to comprehend spiritual dreams until the user comprehends his own 'spectator state of mind'.

The silence of the frozen lake was broken.

The hoarse voice smiled, apparently showing some interest in the Cloud Ring.

"There are such other gods?"

"Since you came to kill me, you must know my identity... I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing."

Gu Xiaoman said lightly: "If you are willing to trade with me, I can throw this ring now...and never take it back, how about it?"

"I don't want this ring."

The hoarse voice suddenly said, "I want the string of beads on your hand."

Gu Xiaoman fell silent for a moment, she looked at her wrist, where a string of unpretentious snow-white beads hung.

When the man gave it to him, it was seven.

Now... there are only five left.

"Sorry, I can't give you this string of bracelets."

Gu Xiaoman shook her head, she lowered her sleeves, and said slowly: "This item is a one-time consumable, I have already used two... Its value is not as high as the 'Cloud Ring', I have many Valuable treasures, you can choose whatever you want, but this string of bracelets is the only one that won’t work.”

"Is it?"

The hoarse voice laughed again: "Then I want the sealed item on your hand, or the bell pendant on your neck."

Gu Xiaoman frowned.

The other party asked for a hundred-explosive knuckle, and she could still understand it. After all, this is a very practical assault-type sealed item.

What does it mean to ask for a bell pendant?
She touched the bell pendant in the skirt of the cloak with some confusion. This was the least valuable thing on her body. It was a meeting gift given to her by Shen Li five years ago, and she said that it contained a calming feeling Strength can protect the spiritual stability of a transcendent during their practice. For an S-level spiritual system, "mental stability" is really a very basic thing.

Over the years, the only sealed item on my body that I haven't used is Shen Li's bell pendant.

It's just that Gu Xiaoman didn't ignore it because of this, but hung it around his neck.

See things and think about people, see things and think about people.

Perhaps this bell pendant really contained incredible power. After wearing it, she would indeed feel a burst of warmth from the bottom of her heart.

"Why do you want this sealed item..."

"Wait, who the hell are you?"

Gu Xiaoman spoke suspiciously.

At this moment she suddenly looked up.

In the opposite direction, a "tall" figure slowly walked out of the mist surrounded by wind and snow.

The reason why it is tall is that the Lord is sitting on the shoulders of [Thunder World Walker] at this moment.

Bai Xiu looked at the girl in the black cloak on the frozen lake with a complicated expression, and smiled gratifiedly: "Xiao Man... I haven't seen you in five years, you have grown a lot taller, and you are much stronger than I imagined."

Crackling, Thunderwalker dissipated in place.

The white clothes fell to the ground, and the sleeves of the clothes flew like snow.

"Master Baixiu..."

Gu Xiaoman was stunned in place.

no wonder... no wonder...

She stepped on the broken ice and ran over, bumping into the arms of the figure in white.

Bai Xiu's eyes were a little bewildered at first, and then softened. He slowly stretched out his hand, patted Gu Xiaoman's back lightly, and said with a soft smile: "That string of beads is not something valuable, there is no need to cherish it so much. If it is used up, or lost... I will give it to you."

"You gave it to me, how could I lose it..."

Gu Xiaoman's voice was a little choked, and at the same time he raised his eyes, and there was still some grievance in his eyes.

"In the past five years in the Tower of Origin... You must have suffered a lot of grievances, right?"

The smile on Bai Xiu's face gradually disappeared, and he asked in a low voice: "Yunhu, Xuangui, and the new Suzaku envoy...are they hostile to you?"

"I've had a great time in the past five years!"

The girl quickly denied it, with disdain in her voice: "What are they, who can bully me, who dares to bully me?!"

Seeing Gu Xiaoman's proud expression like a lion cub, Bai Xiu couldn't bear to pierce it.

He knew all too well what this little girl was like.

Even if he was injured, he would just silently lick the wound in the corner... But there is one thing, Gu Xiaoman was right.

She will not be bullied for no reason.

At the origin of the shattered frozen lake, which is where Gu Xiaoman was standing before, there are countless small black snakes swimming under the ice surface, lingering and wrapping into a pitch-black ball, that is exactly the power released by [Dream].

The previous negotiation was just a tactic for her to delay the attack. If she waits for a while and completes the charge of [Dream Dream], then the situation will be reversed!

She didn't want to give any of the sealed items mentioned earlier, nor would she give any of them!
