This was the first strike unleashed by Gu Jianlin.
There was no need to hone any techniques; the combined skill of the Ghost Slayer Path was already flawlessly innate. The Sword Drawing Slash empowered by Divine Speed Force, accompanied by the Dinsion Slash that tore through space-ti, the ability of Space Jump, and the final act of Space Freeze!
Four elents fused as one!
But that was not all. The lingering essence of an ancient blade technique's Extre Intent in his mind awakened an eternal desolation and an unparalleled arrogance, rousing the long-silent Jiuyin. It even unleashed a potent aura of bloodlust, its blade's ringing echoing like a dragon's roar!
Tang Ling was shocked to realize that the boy she was holding had vanished!
The wind stirred her snow-white hair, her beautiful eyes brimming with terror.
"Where is he?!"
Lin Lan roared, forcibly interrupting the Space Jump.
The gale whipped through the short hair of the Charming Ladies, their enchanting eyes mirroring the descent of a blood-red figure from the heavens!
Space shuddered faintly.
This ancient Ancestor, after undergoing Primordial Return, intended to obliterate the entire space.
At this rate, no one could survive!
Boom!
A massive blood-red dragon's shadow descended from above, resembling a teorite crashing from the heavens. The swirling blizzard evaporated in an instant, and the terrifying pressure scattered the snowdrifts below. The solid permafrost caved in abruptly!
In a fleeting mont, ti had frozen solid!
It was as though the entire world plunged into the underworld, where, for just an instant, eerie Mandala Flowers blood, their countless petals falling away!
This was a blade technique unimaginable to humankind. The awakened Jiuyin soared skyward like a jet-black dragon, and wherever it passed, space-ti decayed and shattered, leaving behind ghastly fissures that exposed the primordial darkness of the universe.
In a flash, Gu Jianlin appeared in mid-air. His long, jet-black hair flowed like a cascade, embodying the most powerful and violent Ancient Supre. With an imperious, contemptuous posture, he unleashed a single strike. The cold gleam of the blade seed to eclipse all within the world; everything dimd in its presence!
A matchless brilliance.
An unmatched severity.
For a fleeting instant, the blade's lonely radiance seed to sever the threads of ti!
The blood-red dragon's descending shadow quaked, and in its eerie, vertical pupils, a millennium of confusion and lancholy seed to surface. The looming aura of annihilation suddenly halted, torn apart by the epheral slash of solitude!
The blade's light was too swift; it vanished in an instant.
Only the fractured blade marks trailing through the Void seed to pierce the world before violently shattering apart!
"Venerable."
The pale white bones of the Ancestor stood amidst the storm, then knelt upon the ground and fell into a deep slumber.
With a thunderous crash, the blood-red dragon's shadow was cleaved in two. As collapsing space crumbled in silence, the entire Void disintegrated like a shattered mirror and was buried in oblivion. ??????s ?????????????? ??s ???????????? ???? novel·f??re·net
"What the hell just happened?!"
Lin Lan's mind froze as he mumbled, "Isn't Xiao Gu a Divine? How did he suddenly turn into a Ghost Slayer?!"
The Extre Thunder Great Sword roared as it ca, resting against his neck.
"Forget everything you've just witnessed. Don't tell anyone, or I'll kill you right here and now. Don't think that being Sixth Rank makes you untouchable. I know the poor state of your body."
Tang Ling's voice was cold as ice. "If you force my hand, I'll drag you down with , and you'll surely die."
The hand gripping her sword hilt was steady, the blade trembling faintly.
"As if I'd dare ss with you!"
Lin Lan's face looked mournful. Then his expression changed. "Oh no! Your man's about to crash to his death!"
In an instant, he used Space Jump and vanished.
Tang Ling looked up in bewildernt, ignoring Lin Lan's nonsense. All she saw was the boy's shadow plumting from the sky.
He appeared to have lost consciousness.
Lin Lan leaped midair, catching him as he fell, and with another flash, they both landed on the sled.
At so point, Gu Jianlin's entire body had ruptured with countless wounds, making him look like a bloodied figure. Notably, blood poured from his seven orifices, his face etched with excruciating pain as if enduring so torturous agony, his brow tightly furrowed.
The blade nad Jiuyin was held tightly in his hand, drinking greedily of the Ancestor's blood, reveling in bliss.
"Give him to !"
Tang Ling commanded sharply.
Lin Lan froze for a mont as he held the boy in his arms, his face twisting in disbelief. "Your Highness, why are you treating goodwill like donkey liver and lungs? Didn't I hear you're a germaphobe? He's covered in blood—let
handle this!"
"Get lost! Quit running your mouth at a ti like this!"
Tang Ling snatched the bloodied boy from his arms, cradling him against herself, before donning a monocle.
As a mist shrouded the lens, her expression subtly changed. In a low voice, she said, "His brain has suffered significant trauma, and his consciousness is barely intact. As for his injuries, they're a backlash from Jiuyin. A long-standing mystery has finally been solved: aside from its unparalleled sharpness, Jiuyin can draw upon space-ti to summon power."
Lin Lan's face darkened. "What kind of power does it summon?"
Tang Ling gazed deeply at the boy's blood-soaked form and murmured, "The power of Candle Dragon Venerable!"
Lin Lan shuddered with fear. "This blade is absurdly overpowered!"
"That depends on whose hands it's in. That strike just now was likely a casual slash from an Ancient Supre in antiquity, recorded by Jiuyin and reproduced at a heavily weakened scale."
Tang Ling spoke softly. "Even so, it remains a slash of Candle Dragon Venerable's. It's beyond what he can withstand."
At that mont, Gu Jianlin's trembling hand made a slight movent.
Jiuyin quivered, and on its blade, eerie vertical pupils flickered to life. It let out a mocking voice: "A re human with so insight. You even recognized my title! But what's the fuss about killing one Ancestor?"
The blade sneered. "In my pri, I never slew the naless!"
Lin Lan's expression was ghostly pale, as if facing an abyssal foe.
Tang Ling raised a hand to calm him, her sharp gaze fixed on the blade as she asked solemnly, "Are you Jiuyin?"
She knew that all evolving Mythical Weapons possessed consciousness.
Extre Thunder did.
Jiuyin, naturally, did too!
"Woman, you've got good eyes!"
The blade vibrated with pride. "I suggest you leave imdiately. The chaos earlier disturbed a terrifying entity, especially the thoughts left behind by that Ancestor. That entity is now using its Authority to kill you."
Boom!
A ferocious blizzard swept in from afar, obliterating everything in its path.
From a distance, it appeared as an endless expanse of white—a terrifying bloodstorm.
A Catastrophe of annihilation!
"Run! Get inside the palace! Any other route is a deathtrap!"
Lin Lan seized the sled, ignoring the Corpse Ghosts entirely, and in a flash, jumped into the bronze palace.
Tang Ling, cradling the unconscious boy, sprinted to one side of the massive gate, abruptly shifting into her Evolutionary State.
Ah Yue joined her, helping to push the bronze gate of the palace.
"Push harder!"
Lin Lan and Ah Lan strained from the other side, slamming the gate closed at the final mont before the raging storm could consu them!
Bang!
The entire bronze palace trembled violently, and the heavy door began to crack under the pressure.
Ah Lan, drawing upon the Ancient Martial Path, used his own body to brace against the bronze door.
Ah Yue condensed a barrier with her telekinesis, forcibly sealing the gaps, her face pale as paper.
"It's not enough! There are other gaps in the palace!"
Their faces were ashen, nearly frozen into statues.
The violent wind and snow surged in through the cracks in the bronze palace, the extre cold roaring like a monstrous beast.
"Let
handle this!"
Stripping off unnecessary garnts, Lin Lan stood tall, roaring like a true warrior. Empowered by Divine Speed Force at its peak, he unleashed a tempest of blade strikes!
Against the tide of the blizzard, mirror reflection was useless.
Reflecting the storm only worsened the cold's brutality.
As for Space Freeze, it barely held for an instant.
Only the Divine Speed's Dinsion Slash could hold the storm at bay!
Boom!
The Extre Thunder Great Sword plunged into the ground, unleashing searing lightning.
Tang Ling retreated to a corner, shielding herself from the all-encompassing blizzard. She removed her heavy fur cloak and pulled the boy's face close to her chest, using her remaining body warmth to keep him alive.
The temperature continued to drop. Her frost-white hair gradually beca laden with snow.
Frost crusted her long, curled lashes; her cold, beautiful face was utterly bloodless.
The piercing wind lashed at her back, almost freezing her solid, her bones and flesh nearing collapse under the relentless cold.
Even the protection of the Sword Bone proved inadequate against such brutal frigidity.
Still, she did not move.
