Gu Shen stood silently in the heavy fog.

　　After Hu Danian's action, he had maintained this posture, motionless, like a wooden stake.

　　And after Li's voice appeared at that time.

　　The light of the Ruler of Truth slowly bloomed, and a longbow appeared in front of Gu Shen. He drew the string in the void, slowly pulled the bow to its full extent, and the arrow pointed at "Shi Li" in the fog...

　　He waited patiently.

　　Waiting for Hu Danian to create an opportunity for himself.

　　Because he couldn't see anything and couldn't fully display the blazing fire, he maintained the action of drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, capturing every sound not far away... The fight started, and it ended.

　　Hu Danian's voice sounded very weak.

　　As expected, direct contact... was indeed not Shi Li's opponent.

　　The two asked and answered.

　　Finally, a moment of astonishment appeared in Shi Li's voice.

　　Opportunity!

　　Gu Shen aimed at the last position where the sound came from, released his hand, and the big bow burst out with trembling thunder, and the fog within a ten-meter radius was dispersed!

　　A nihilistic arrow crossed the space, piercing out a long circular trajectory.

　　When this arrow was fired, three or four stone walls on one side of the factory building were all crushed by the huge impact, and rubble flew.

　　Gu Shen began to act the moment he released the string.

　　He started running towards Shi Li's direction.

　　The big bow in his hand changed shape in an instant and turned into a long knife.

　　Gu Shen knew that the arrow he had been charging for a long time... did not end Shi Li's life, because he did not hear the sound of blood splashing. In a short tenth of a second, there seemed to be a very round "ejection" sound.

　　Breaking through the thick fog, the moment he saw Shi Li, Gu Shen knew that his judgment was correct... This man raised his arm to protect his head, and the skin on the outside of his arm was pierced from the inner ear outwards by countless bones. These bones were pieced together to form a shield, the surface of which was extremely smooth, with a deep white mark on it, which was obviously left when the arrow was bounced off.

　　He raised his hand and delivered another strike!

　　Shi Li's expression was horrified and angry.

　　When the Red Silver Fortress tripped him, his extremely effective intuition reappeared.

　　Hu Danian, and another teammate!

　　That person had been waiting for him...

　　So before the unheralded cold light of the arrow occupied all of his vision... Shi Li took "defensive" measures first, squeezing out the bones of his entire arm as a shield, and polishing it as smoothly as possible.

　　The heavy arrow shot out!

　　It was like being hit by a heavy cannon.

　　Even with the bone shield as a buffer, Shi Li still felt that half of his head was about to be blown off.

　　But fortunately, the heavy arrow was bounced off!

　　It was too terrifying... With the killing power of this arrow, if he had reacted a little slower, his entire head would have evaporated!

　　And Shi Li had not yet recovered.

　　The mastermind who shot the hidden arrow had already rushed in front of him. What caught his eye was a cold, ruthless, young face... and what he held in his hand was not a big bow, but a long knife.

　　"Buzz!"

　　A magnificent blade of light hung upside down!

　　Shi Li looked in horror at the sudden blade of light in front of him!

　　How could there be such insidious people?

　　At the critical moment, the shield blocked the light of the knife, and was instantly split with another long white mark.

　　"Wait a minute..."

　　Shi Li felt the vibrating force coming from the bone armor. He vaguely felt that the strength of this young man seemed very weak... not worth fearing.

　　Seeing the white mark on the shield... Gu Shen frowned. He was very dissatisfied with the power of his knife.

　　Before.

　　On the Jiangtan, he only used one knife to kill Qu Shui!

　　But now this knife... can't even break Shi Li's bone armor.

　　He had tried his best, but from the effect... the power of the Ruler of Truth should be directly linked to his mental strength.

　　This knife can kill Qu Shui.

　　But it can't break Shi Li's defense.

　　This is an enemy who is at least two major levels higher than himself in the Extraordinary Trial.

　　Gu Shen took a deep breath.

　　The knife fell and rose again!

　　He chopped out the second knife with extreme force!

　　This time, Shi Li did not dodge, but instead met the attack head-on. The seemingly majestic light of the knife shattered the moment it touched the bone armor. There was still a "qualitative" difference between the two.

　　"This kid's strength... is at most at the third level of the Deep Sea!"

　　With just one touch, Shi Li had a bottom line in his heart.

　　His heart was filled with anger.

　　He was only at the third level of the Deep Sea, yet he dared to assassinate him...

　　Seeing Gu Shen being bounced away by the bone armor, still insisting on wielding his knife, wanting to chop down the third knife, Shi Li directly removed the bone armor. The clothes on his entire body were torn apart by the bone spurs. Huge bone spurs, like spider legs, encompassed Gu Shen, forming a large net!

　　He saw through the opponent's strength and intentions!

　　He no longer defended, but decided to tear this kid apart in an instant!

　　However, the next moment—

　　Gu Shen's third knife did not fall, but dissipated in the air. Countless silvery-white brilliance was blown apart in the strong wind, and finally only a figure that moved in close remained.

　　The two were close to each other in the bone net.

　　Like two stiff worms hugging in a cocoon.

　　At this moment, all the vision in Shi Li's eyes was occupied by a touch of red.

　　A strand of blazing red flame appeared between the eyebrows of the young man, so bright that it was almost scorching.

　　From the beginning, the "assassination" planned by Gu Shen had nothing to do with the Ruler of Truth.

　　No matter how good the opportunity.

　　What the Ruler of Truth can do... is only a physical surprise attack.

　　Shi Li is a strong offensive-type powerhouse whose true strength is far higher than his own. A fierce attack is the most wrong choice.

　　Attacking the enemy's weakness with one's own strength is the most correct tactic.

　　However, in this thick fog, once close, one would be noticed. The success rate of his best "mental hypnosis" would be greatly reduced. There would only be a chance of success if Shi Li was misled.

　　What Gu Shen was waiting for was the moment when Shi Li removed the bone armor and decided to kill him.

　　"Give me... enter the dream!"

　　The blazing fire trembled!

　　When the two pairs of eyes met, the killing intent in Shi Li's pupils instantly dissipated and turned into confusion.

　　But he did not directly enter the dream.

　　On the contrary, Gu Shen felt very strenuous. When he looked at Shi Li, his mental strength was rapidly losing at an unimaginable speed!

　　All extraordinary people, no matter which system they belong to, need to cultivate both their spirit and body... Shi Li's realm is at least two levels higher than his own. Even as a strong offensive type, his mental strength will not be weaker than his own.

　　If he wants to hypnotize him, he can only rely on the "characteristics" of the blazing fire.

　　"Enter the dream!"

　　Gu Shen roared again. Blue veins appeared on his forehead. At this moment, all his mental power was poured into Shi Li's spiritual ocean.

　　Shi Li's face was pale, frantically resisting Gu Shen's consciousness intrusion.

　　"Crack..."

　　In just a dozen seconds, Gu Shen's spirit reached its limit.

　　The Liu Fu hand beads tied on his wrist directly cracked one, and an invisible force of destiny seemed to descend, falling into Gu Shen's mind, like a stream of clear spring flowing through, replenishing his dried spirit!

　　When the wills of the two were intertwined.

　　Hu Danian, who was sitting against the wall with difficulty, raised his hand with difficulty. The red silver flowing on the ground rolled again, turning into a sharp blade and stabbing towards Shi Li's palm.

　　The severe pain instantly invaded his mind.

　　Shi Li's eyes were scattered.

　　This mental contest had entered the final moment of confrontation. Whoever showed a moment of distraction would be enough to determine the outcome.

　　"Boom..."

　　Shi Li seemed to hear something explode in his mind.

　　Blood was overflowing from his mouth and nose, and his consciousness seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, forcibly chiseled out of his body.

　　When the sound of the explosion rang in his mind, Shi Li knew—

　　All of this.

　　Was over.

　　Hu Danian gritted his teeth and tried to get up... The extraordinary people in the Evergreen Foundation had programs similar to "self-destruction" implanted in their minds to prevent mental hypnosis from causing leaks.

　　If Gu Shen won.

　　Then next... Shi Li would explode!

　　The solidified huge bone net was silent in the thick fog. Hu Danian struggled desperately for a few seconds, but in the end, he did not wait for anything. There was only the whistling wind and the impenetrable thick fog in Yuandan Street.

　　"..."

　　The self-destruction did not happen.

　　Loss of control did not happen either.

　　He slowly moved his body and came to the solidified bone spur web. In the embrace of thousands of bone spurs, he saw the young man who saved his life.

　　The bone spurs, which were sharper than knives, were still a little short of piercing into the flesh.

　　Gu Shen was not injured, but his clothes were soaked with sweat.

　　His two fingers seemed to be holding a very slender object... It was a second hand from a stopwatch, and the tip was pierced into Shi Li's eyebrows.

　　The skin was broken, and blood should have flowed out.

　　But... it didn't.

　　The small second hand seemed to solidify everything at Shi Li's eyebrow wound, pain, blood, and... a "explosion" at a certain mental level that had already been triggered.

　　Hu Danian held his breath. He saw a wisp of slender flame slowly beating and burning at Shi Li's eyebrows.

　　Finally, this wisp of flame pulled out a long line... and burned it into nothingness.

　　Invisible smoke spread in the thick fog.

　　After doing all this, Gu Shen let out a long breath. He showed a relieved expression, pulled out the stopwatch second hand, which was lighter than a feather, but seemed to have used up all his strength, so that even his last fingers were constantly trembling.

　　The bone spurs... retracted little by little.

　　Shi Li did not die, but fell into a state of mental submersion.

　　He was hypnotized.

　　Hu Danian stared blankly at Gu Shen, as if looking at a monster that did not belong to this world.

　　In his cognition... the extraordinary people of the Evergreen Foundation were all incurable lunatics. These people did not care about their own lives or winning or losing... They were extreme scourges that the council tried every means to eliminate, but no one could do anything about it.

　　Because no one can stop a person who is going to die from detonating his spirit.

　　But... Gu Shen did it.

　　He was silent for a long, long time.

　　Hu Danian said in a hoarse voice, "Is all this... over?"

　　"Yes..."

　　Gu Shen replied wearily.

　　He squatted down and used the Ruler of Truth to simply treat Hu Danian's wounds. The snow-white light flowed, and the blood stopped, but it was only limited to stopping the bleeding... Hu Danian stared in surprise at the silver light. From the arrow just now, to the two times he wielded his knife, to the current treatment, it all seemed to come from a sealed item?

　　He raised his head and saw a wisp of blazing red flame.

　　A gentle voice sounded in Hu Danian's ears, with an irresistible force.

　　"It's over. Forget the pain and have a good sleep."
