Chapter 1 Chaotic Light Blooms in the Snowy Mountains!

The darkness turned into daylight in an instant… but this light of day did not last long. Things that are too dazzling always wither early, but this time the withering came too quickly.

So quickly that no one had time to prepare.

Seven extraordinary individuals, joining hands to summon the light, but the blazing light agitated by the Deputy Lunar Robe had not yet connected, and had only just burst forth with a scorching breath, when it was engulfed by a black snow tide that appeared out of nowhere!

A torrential impact.

Just like that, it turned into smoke in mid-air.

Gu Shen, standing on the mountainside, didn't move a step. A strong wind swept past, and the source armor was struck by the black snow, making a crisp clanging sound. In front of him… the seven extraordinary individuals who had joined forces to attack were engulfed by the black snow tide, and as the black snow dissipated, they also "dissipated."

The black snow mountain returned to the long night.

The members of Meng Xiao's team all disappeared into the snow tide just now.

The silence in this place was so profound you could hear a pin drop.

It was as if no one had ever been here.

"Hoo…"

Gazing at the dark mountain path in front of him for a long time, Gu Shen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This scene confirmed to him that his previous guess was correct.

Mirror Dream, Mirror Dream!

There really was a "mirror world" on this black snow mountain!

After "sending away" these few extraordinary individuals, Gu Shen did not go down the mountain. The pendant still gave the feeling that "it was not advisable to go down the mountain." He knew that there was still someone "staring" at him.

Entering the disaster zone.

Meng Xiao chased after him.

It was not a simple matter of "luck" that this guy was able to chase him all the way here. Gu Shen's method of concealing his extraordinary aura was almost perfect. Even if Meng Xiao's mental power was strong enough to keep up from such a distance, he shouldn't have found him so quickly after entering the snow mountain chain area.

The most reasonable explanation was that Meng Xiao was carrying a powerful sealed item with "tracking ability"!

This Mirror Dream could "send away" Meng Xiao's subordinates, but it could not send away this Lunar Duke.

After the black snow tide dispersed.

The wind on the entire snow mountain seemed to become gentler, and blowing on his cheeks, there was a faint hint of "warmth."

Gu Shen did not ignite the Blazing Fire.

He still stood quietly in the darkness, looking at the endless "long night" in the distance.

Soon.

A glimmer of light appeared there.

Not a weak fire, but a blazing light. The "warmth" lingering in the black snow all came from this. It was the blessing of the God's Seat of Light City, and also a pure source of light and fire.

Meng Xiao's source armor reflected a golden color under the light of the fire, setting off his whole person to be radiant, like a young god painted in ancient books. The Lunar Duke's robe he wore fluttered in the wind and snow, and the light shards suspended on his shoulders gathered into a sun, burning the black snow pouring in from all directions into a faint gold.

These lights not only illuminated the surrounding snow mountains.

It also illuminated Gu Shen in the distance.

"Interesting, you didn't run away…"

The Lunar Duke stood firm, just looking at Gu Shen, and asked softly, "Is it because you know you can't escape?"

His followers chased and killed Gu Shen in the snow mountain, while he was unhurriedly rushing on from behind, not seeming anxious at all.

It seemed that he didn't worry about this prey escaping at all.

Gu Shen did not answer Meng Xiao's question, but asked with a smile: "Why should I escape?"

"Heh…"

Meng Xiao also smiled: "At this time, do you want to talk to me about the 'Laws of the Northern Continent' and other things, to persuade me to turn back from the precipice, not to touch the majesty of the Empress, the wrath of the God's Seat…"

Gu Shen shook his head.

He was not a fool. Although he didn't know where the Lunar Duke's killing intent towards him came from so far.

But at this time, verbal persuasion was meaningless, just a waste of words.

"Then, do you think you can win against me?"

Meng Xiao stretched out a palm, gathering the flame bestowed by Light City in his palm.

The blazing sun hovered in the sky above the Lunar Duke's palm, the surface constantly flashing with scarlet arcs of light, full of energy, and it looked very unstable, and could explode at any time.

"In terms of realm, I am far from your opponent."

Meng Xiao didn't expect Gu Shen to say such a thing.

He was a little surprised.

"I am on the seventh layer, you are on the tenth layer… there is a big realm between us."

Gu Shen said lightly: "Even if I go all out, it is impossible to make up for the gap between us. After all, you are the proud son of Light City, you lack nothing in sealed items, breathing techniques, anything."

After a slight pause, he smiled freely.

"It's just that, the things in this world… if you don't try, how will you know the result?"

The black silver box had been opened by Gu Shen while waiting for Meng Xiao's arrival.

At this moment, he silently took out the ruler from the box, holding it tightly in his palm.

The black silver seal was lifted, and almost at the same moment, the devil's suppressed and excited, yet deliberately calm voice, rang in Gu Shen's mind.

["Tsk tsk… so quickly we meet again?"]

Gu Shen was expressionless.

This voice was certainly annoying, but hearing it at this moment gave him some "confidence."

["Let me see, so that's how it is, you've met someone you can't beat… do you need a 'deal'?"]

Although he did not enter the ruler space, he could already imagine the devil rubbing his hands on the throne.

"You're not even trying to hide your intentions."

Gu Shen held the ruler and responded coldly: "At least be polite for a few words before going straight to the point, right?"

"Do you like to dawdle at this critical moment?" The devil sarcastically retorted: "I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death if I say a few more words."

Gu Shen sneered in his heart.

Meng Xiao was certainly not a kind person.

But the guy in the ruler was not a good thing either!

Before the fight even started, how could he agree to a "deal"… as far as Gu Shen was concerned, this fight with Meng Xiao was not completely without the power to parry, he was a cross-realm cultivator, exceeding two realms, and going all out, he could probably unleash the power of the ninth layer peak.

The reason why he took out the ruler was because with his "mental power" sealed, the "weapons" left in Gu Shen's hands were really too few.

He needed the Ruler of Truth.

But it was not to "make a deal"!

The devil naturally knew Gu Shen's thoughts. It knew that with Gu Shen's character, it was impossible to agree to a deal with it until the last moment, but… being able to break free from the black silver seal was a good thing.

"Gu, I know you won't make a deal… but I want to remind you, you can't win this fight as you are now."

The devil said quietly: "Of course, it's no problem to fight desperately, but you always have to weigh your own worth. My deal certainly has a price, but it's not as 'serious' as you imagine. Why don't you consider it carefully, the sooner you trade, the sooner you enjoy it."

"Shut up."

Gu Shen scolded coldly, "If you chatter again, be careful I'll throw you back into the black silver."

The words "black silver" were indeed useful…

The taste of being completely sealed was really unbearable.

As soon as his voice fell, the devil immediately shut up obediently.

The Ruler of Truth returned to silence, but Gu Shen knew that the guy in the ruler was "watching" the good show in the outside world…

Mental power poured into the ruler.

Silver-white light burned in Gu Shen's palm, and the wisp of Blazing Fire squeezed out of the Fighting Golden Band perfectly merged with the ruler. The colors of gold and silver reflected each other, and although this glimmer of light was not as pure as Meng Xiao's "blessing," it also contained a powerful energy.

"Oh?"

Meng Xiao raised his eyebrows: "No wonder you have the confidence to fight me… is this your trump card?"

The silver light in Gu Shen's hand was now flowing out, turning into a battle knife. This silver light did not seem to be limited by any concrete form. He couldn't see what kind of sealed item it was… but he could vaguely feel the "threat" in the silver light!

Bearing the blessing of Light City, there were very few things that made him feel "threatened"!

This was very likely to be a "quasi-S grade" sealed item.

Perhaps… even higher quality!

"So, is this a treasure bestowed on you by the 'Fighting God's Seat' of the Eastern Continent?" The Lunar Duke looked down at Gu Shen from a high position. He reached out and dusted off the gray dust from the shoulders of his robe. In fact, Meng Xiao was very clean and tidy all around him. Not even a flake of the black snow could get close to his body, let alone so-called dust.

The blessing of light, cleans all dirt!

But after he flicked his fingers lightly.

In the blazing light, faint gray light shards flickered out.

These dim light shards, along with the wind and snow, silently spread out, turning into slender threads, leading to the unknown distance.

This scene was captured by Gu Shen.

These "dim lights" were, in a sense, Meng Xiao's eyes.

He used "light" to perceive all things.

These extremely weak "dim lights," almost integrated with the darkness, were also his eyes. It seemed that in addition to that strange sealed item, he also had his own "capture method"!

Gu Shen could see that this "spreading light" was obviously afraid that he would run away… this Lunar Duke, although he looked calm and composed, was worried that he was just pretending to be in a fighting stance, but after the start of the battle, he would turn around and flee down the mountain in the next second.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

In fact, Meng Xiao was right.

"Going down the mountain" was indeed the next thing he planned to do!

Before, when he wanted to go down the mountain, the feeling from the pendant was just "not very good," but now that he was holding the long knife and was about to fight Meng Xiao to the death…

The feeling from the pendant was—"very bad"!

If he encountered a dilemma, the pendant could not guide him to an "absolutely safe" path, all it could do was weigh the pros and cons.

At this moment, there were two paths in front of Gu Shen, one was bad, and the other was worse.

There was no good path!

Taking a deep breath.

Gu Shen acted suddenly. The silver light of the Ruler of Truth wrapped around his legs, and he suddenly swept down the mountain. Meng Xiao, who was wrapped in light, was even faster. He shot out at the moment Gu Shen acted.

However, Gu Shen had already prepared to turn back when he took the first step!

Meng Xiao's pupils contracted!

He originally thought that Gu Shen was going to escape directly!

But he never expected that this young man was just "feinting" for a moment, then using the posture of taking a step back to gather strength, and then he was wrapped in silver light, shaking out the sound of an sonic boom!

Countless iron edges gathered, and the silver light of the Ruler of Truth wrapped around the iron knife.

Gu Shen was like a broken-winged butterfly, his trajectory was extremely enchanting and strange, stepping forward, sweeping back, and then turning around and fiercely slashing at Meng Xiao who was crashing towards him!

"Zzzt!"

The silver light of the Ruler of Truth, coupled with the indestructible iron knife, slashed on the protective shield agitated by the Lunar Duke's robe!

The black snow mountain ushered in light again!

Arcs of light splashed everywhere!
