Hui Shuai Jiao De Xiong Mao
Chapter 145 Taking You Back
How could they appear here?
Even though Gu Shen had long prepared himself for being pursued by the Sheng裁者, he couldn't help but feel a bit surprised at this moment.
But he quickly understood the reason!
The image given by the bracelet was of Jia Wei visiting... This was a warning, telling Gu Shen that the Sheng裁者 would definitely find the small courtyard on Suspended Mountain.
But if he thought that his first meeting with the Sheng裁者 would definitely happen on "Suspended Mountain", then he would be wrong.
This was his first time using the bracelet, and he almost fell for it!
This bracelet was not such a "responsible" sealed item. It only gave an image capture of a certain point in time, and would not explain the "cause and effect"... Meng Xiao died on this point. He mistakenly thought that the image of the Black River given by the bracelet was the beginning of all disasters, but he never expected that it was the final warning of his last frame of death.
"These guys... how did they get here so fast?"
Beside Gu Shen, Mu Wanqiu's expression suddenly darkened a lot.
Having just experienced the Styx River Sheng裁者 curse, she was all too familiar with the aura of these believers of light.
The fluttering hemp robes made the wind in the Suspended Building "smell bad."
Although they were not yet true apostles of Pluto—
Mu Wanqiu really felt disgusted by "light".
She subconsciously frowned and looked towards Gu Shen...
However, Gu Shen returned a calm look.
He knew very well.
Even if these Sheng裁者 were fast, it would still take time for them to travel from West Continent to Central City... They had probably just arrived at this Suspended Building, and if they were here to "investigate the case", they would not have a shred of relevant evidence in their hands.
In this case, directly clearing inquiries would undoubtedly be "stupid".
So it seemed.
At this moment, the encounter with these Sheng裁者 might be a "coincidence".
……
……
"Whirr——"
The biting north wind swept across the top of the Suspended Building, blowing the Sheng裁者's hemp robes.
Seeing the appearance of these "uninvited guests", the expressions of the North Continent's dignitaries became not so good.
Tonight was the North Continent's gathering.
What did these Sheng裁者 want to do?
Everyone looked at those West Continent believers at the far end of the building, and the one who attracted the most attention was the tall man wearing red armor and holding a sword in both hands...
The famous knight in the City of Light, Jia Wei!
In recent years, a large number of powerful transcendents have emerged in the Five Continents and Four Regions. Although the number of honorary titles is still small, the number of "Tier 4 powerhouses" is increasing!
In East Continent, a "Tier 4 powerhouse" is the mainstay of a large region!
The status of a Tier 4 transcendent is not low anywhere.
But in the "Tier 4" trial area, there is still a huge difference in strength between different transcendents... Because "honorary titles" are too difficult, and too many people cannot cross this gap.
The captain of the Investigation Corps, and even some powerful deputy captains... are all Tier 4.
But in the entire Corps, the only transcendent who has truly obtained the "honorary title" is the Corps Commander, Zi Yu.
Among many Tier 4s.
Jia Wei is the most outstanding one!
He sits in the City of Light, defeating countless opponents, and finally摘下神座亲赐的“大骑士”之冕 (zhai xia shen zuo qin ci de “da qi shi” zhi mian -摘下: to pluck, 神座: God's seat, 亲赐: personally bestowed, 大骑士: Grand Knight, 之冕: crown), fighting bloody battles all the way, and accumulating countless achievements, so he is also known as the blade of the Sheng裁者 Corps.
Most importantly, he also has a title called "The Strongest Tier 4"!
Among Tier 4s, he is invincible.
So far, all the "Tier 4 opponents" that Jia Wei has faced have been crushed by him.
Such a powerful existence is actually the best "messenger" for the City of Light, because he has not accepted the gift of the "Light Seed" and is not an [Apostle], so he is not restricted by the regulations that the highest seats do not interfere with each other, and he is not an "honorary title", so his strength has not reached the "boundary" that would arouse the vigilance of the high-level officials of the Five Continents.
Such a character appeared in Central City.
It was not good news.
At least the North Continent dignitaries at this moment felt the "oppression" faintly emanating in the air... Even Fisher and Zhong Yuan were no exception. They stared at the red-armored man in front of them, estimating their chances of winning if they made a move.
And the terrifying thing was that Jia Wei's aura was as deep as the sea.
They... couldn't estimate it.
Inability to estimate was actually a more cruel answer—with their current strength, they had no chance of winning against Jia Wei.
"Mr. Jia Wei."
A lazy voice rippled in the wind.
In the crowd, a suspended figure slowly floated out.
Lu Zhe leaned forward silently, blocking Gu Shen and Mu Wanqiu behind him. His mental power spread out leisurely, turning into a barrier, blocking all the light in the air and the oppression emanating from Jia Wei.
The Captain of Squad One said lightly, "The wind doesn't seem to be very strong tonight. How did it blow you here?"
The City of Light's obituary had already been issued.
From beginning to end, as soon as the obituary came out, the Sheng裁者 set off overnight.
And Lu Zhe's words were obviously sarcastic.
The eyes of those Sheng裁者 became deep.
Jia Wei gently tapped the ground with the tip of his sword, suppressing the aura of his followers behind him.
He bowed slightly, placing one hand on his chest, and said sincerely, "Jia Wei of the City of Light, extends his greetings to all the North Continent dignitaries. I have come here with the goodwill of the City of Light and have no malice. I just heard that you are holding a banquet here, so I came here to congratulate you."
His etiquette was impeccable.
But the North Continent dignitaries did not appreciate it.
"Congratulate?"
Lu Zhe shook his head, "What do you have to congratulate?"
"Her Majesty the Queen's conquest of the Disaster Realm and the subjugation of the 'Traveler' is naturally worthy of celebration." Jia Wei said calmly, "This great victory is worth celebrating by everyone in the Five Continents."
"That sounds nice, but there's no reason to congratulate empty-handed?" Fisher mocked with a blank expression.
"Everyone here is a big shot with power and wealth,"
Jia Wei smiled slightly and replied, "The Sheng裁者 are empty-handed and have nothing but light... If you really want to prepare a gift, I'm afraid you won't like anything. If you don't mind, the 'fireworks' just now can be considered a congratulatory gift."
What a shameless answer... Gu Shen was silent after hearing this.
"Since you've come to North Continent, restrain yourself. This place is allergic to 'light'." Lu Zhe said again.
"Sorry, Captain Lu... I'm afraid I can't do that."
Jia Wei straightened his back again, and his voice became as sharp as a sword, "This is the divine pressure emanating from the 'Bright Light Armor'. Light surrounds it, and divine thoughts protect it. I can only wrong you."
"Bright Light Armor?"
Gu Shen frowned slightly when he heard this.
"This is one of the few 'S-class sealed items' with clear information in the Deep Sea Database." Chu Ling replied, "Normally, the information files of sealed items rated as S-class are completely sealed by the Continent Councils, and even the information of quasi-S-class sealed items is rarely released..."
Because the lethality of these forbidden items is too great.
And some of the effects are too terrifying.
After obtaining them, the major forces will treasure them and only use them in special circumstances.
"The Bright Light Armor is known as the 'perfect body armor'. This is the body armor inherited by the City of Light through the generations. According to the archives, the wearer can reduce 90% of physical and mental shocks. The only flaw is that the heavy armor will slow down the user's speed, whether it's attacking or dodging."
Gu Shen's expression became solemn.
Reduce 90% of the impact shock?
What a terrifying defensive ability is this?
No wonder even Gu Shen, whose spirit sea has now reached the strength of Tier 4, cannot see the depth of Jia Wei's aura... This guy's "Bright Light Armor" is simply a perfect tortoise shell. As long as he hides inside, he will not be harmed at all!
"Jia Wei is called 'The Strongest Tier 4' because... he has not received a trace of damage in Tier 4 duels." Chu Ling added, "Even Tier 4 powerhouses like Zhong Yuan and Fisher are probably difficult to hurt him."
"..."
Gu Shen was silent for two seconds.
He vaguely guessed that even if he lost the Bright Light Armor, Jia Wei was still a "Tier 4 Transcendent"... The City of Light would only give this S-class sealed item to the strongest wearer!
Fortunately, there is also a Tier 4 Transcendent in his camp...
I wonder if Captain Lu Zhe can penetrate Jia Wei's "Bright Light Armor" and cause him harm if he goes all out?
"Alright, I won't waste your time."
On the top of the Suspended Building, the night wind was biting.
Jia Wei no longer exchanged pleasantries, but looked directly at the crowd, "I am here tonight for only one person..."
His eyes swept over everyone's faces.
The heavy armor covered most of his face, revealing only a faint glimmer of light.
But that glimmer of light seemed to be substantial!
When passing over Gu Shen and Mu Wanqiu's faces... Jia Wei's gaze paused for a moment.
But it only paused for a moment.
"Goddess, please don't hide anymore."
In the end, Jia Wei's gaze fell on the very back of the crowd. The light aura that filled the sky and fluttered with the night wind seemed to have received the correct guidance, like fireflies,掠向了轻纱飞舞的单薄纤影之上 (lve xiang le qing sha fei wu de dan bo qian ying zhi shang - 掠向: flitted towards, 轻纱: light gauze, 飞舞: fluttering, 单薄: thin, 纤影: slender figure, 之上: upon).
Everyone was stunned.
"Crack!"
The red heavy armor slowly started to move.
Sensing that Jia Wei's true intention was not Gu Shen or Mu Wanqiu, Lu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and no longer continued to block him.
He turned slightly to let the Grand Knight of the City of Light enter the crowd... Then he coldly looked in the direction of the Sheng裁者.
He would let Jia Wei go, but it didn't mean he would let those "Sheng裁者" go.
The Captain of Squad One was not polite. He waved his hand and used his mental power to draw a line.
For a time, the storm swept through, and these Sheng裁者 had no way to move forward and could only resist the storm in place.
"Whirr..."
The crowd dispersed.
Jia Wei walked through the crowd and came to the light in the darkness.
He held his sword in one hand and knelt on one knee.
"I have come... to bring you, Goddess, back to the 'City of Light'."
