Chapter 246 Radiance

The distant radiance soared into the sky.

The light spread by the emblem fell like sweet rain upon the long night of Lion Alley in the distance.

Even Gu Shen and the others, far away at the border of the Sumeru Domain, witnessed this astonishing scene.

"This is...?"

Mr. Gu Zhi frowned.

"It's the power of the artifact." Before Gu Nanfeng could speak, Mr. Shu said leisurely, "You came to find the apostle..."

"Yes."

Gu Nanfeng nodded.

"Ying Ji… is he the Apostle?"

Madam looked at the approaching stream of light in the distance with a complicated expression, speaking very softly.

This information was hard for her to believe.

Because Song Ci was born and raised in the old district, and had never left the capital after following her... He was someone who had no connection whatsoever with Nagano City, let alone being valued by Gu Changzhi and chosen as the Apostle.

Judging from the current dire situation in East Continent, Madam suspected... that the so-called Apostle was just an expedient measure chosen by Gu Nanfeng to resist the bill when returning to Nagano from the North Continent fortress.

Everyone in the council doubted whether Gu Changzhi was alive or dead.

At this time, if his Apostle appeared, most of the doubts would be dispelled.

...

...

She wasn't the only one with the same idea.

After Sumeru contracted, the night seemed to collapse, and a jet-black round moon contracted, hanging behind Qin Ye.

The two apostles hung high in the sky.

"What now?"

Tie Wu hesitated. His mission was to kill Lu Nanzhi and investigate the truth about Gu Changzhi's life and death as much as possible... Now the first mission should have failed.

Three titled transcendents had appeared in the Dadu District.

Without using the artifact, he was no match for any of them.

Under the circumstances that Qin Ye didn't take action, if he used the artifact... he didn't have 100% certainty that he could complete the first mission.

The man he knocked down in Lion Alley was actually the Apostle of Nagano City. He had an artifact, and that guy also had an artifact… Moreover, the apostle's induction in the dark made him feel that there were other hidden dangers in unseen places.

In a sense… could he be considered to have completed the second mission?

Gu Changzhi's life and death could be confirmed when Song Ci awakened.

In Tie Wu's opinion, the appearance of the Apostle meant the condensation of divine power. Even if that man surnamed Gu was sleeping in Qingzhong, as long as he could still dispatch his divine power, then the Supreme Council was destined to leave a position for him.

Tie Wu already wanted to retreat.

"Wait a little longer. Lord God is watching here, and perhaps there will be new instructions next." Qin Ye said calmly, "Besides, we finally met the East Continent Apostle... why not exchange blows?"

Tie Wu slandered in his heart: "I would like to fight, but you are just watching the fun..."

He and Qin Ye served two different Gods of the Source Tower.

Their missions were also different... The Wine God's order was to kill Lu Nanzhi and end the bill dispute for the Zhao family, while Qin Ye's mission should be to retrieve the lost Lion's Roar technique.

Fighting against the Apostle was not a necessary part of Qin Ye's mission.

That's why… when they were on the top floor of the Nanwan Building earlier, Qin Ye had warned Tie Wu that no matter how the fight went, he wouldn't help. He came to Dadu for only one purpose.

"My mission failed." Qin Ye glanced at Tie Wu and said, "The Lion's Roar technique has been destroyed... so you don't have to worry that I will continue to stand by. As a fellow Apostle of the Source Tower, I will now do my best to assist you in completing the current mission."

Seeing that Tie Wu didn't respond.

Qin Ye continued: "If you are afraid of losing, I can use the artifact to open the domain at the last moment. You don't have to worry about dying in East Continent."

"What did you say?" Tie Wu raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid of losing? I will lose?"

He looked back.

In the sky, the figure burning with snow-white light arrived in an instant, landing on the roof of the old building.

The artifact gradually converged its radiance.

The white wings behind Song Ci also slowly converged... This was his first time using the so-called "artifact". He thought there would be some complicated steps, such as dripping a drop of blood, or chanting some strange incantation, but in fact there were none.

When Gu Nanfeng handed the emblem to him.

An invisible induction rippled open... This was an "instinct" that didn't need to be taught at all, just like humans are born with their eyes open.

"Hoo..."

Song Ci's expression was a little complicated, he stretched out his hands, feeling the breath at this moment.

This was a very strange feeling... Resurrecting from annihilation, born from the heart of death, he seemed to be able to feel the wriggling of every inch of his muscles and bones, and completely master every inch of the meridians of this body.

But similarly, no matter how he stretched his body, he always felt some discomfort.

At the moment when the emblem was activated, a wisp of power beyond the transcendent source substance was transmitted across the material world, imprinting and remaining at the center of his eyebrows... This was the power of God.

People who have enjoyed the power of God will feel more or less uncomfortable when returning to the mundane world, but they will slowly get used to it.

This was Gu Shen's first time seeing the so-called Apostle. The blazing fire in his eyebrows gave birth to a strong feeling. This feeling was not a greedy desire to devour, but more like an equal appreciation between the same kind...

He looked at the wings behind Song Ci and found them extraordinarily pleasing to the eye and delightful, and couldn't help but praise: "What beautiful... birdman."

Hearing the word "birdman", Song Ci was not angry, but grinned.

He suddenly felt a little dazed.

He still remembered many years ago, when Madam brought him out of the old district, she said... that he was not the crow who only spread misfortune in the eyes of the world, and one day he would spread his pure white wings.

Was this true?

He only took it as a joke.

But for so many years, Madam had been calling him Ying Ji, and it was obvious that Madam didn't think it was a joke... No matter how outsiders looked at him, in Madam's eyes, he was not a crow, but a white parrot.

For a reckless man who had come out of the bottom of the old district step by step, he didn't care about the so-called etiquette and morality, nor did he care whether his wings were black or white.

From the moment Madam called him Ying Ji, he had made up his mind... even if he shed his hot blood, he would protect Madam's safety.

Many people would find it incomprehensible.

But... this was his way of doing things.

If anyone dared to hurt Madam.

Then he would never forgive them.

"Using divine power will cause a great burden." Gu Nanfeng reminded earnestly: "It is not easy to use for a long time."

"I know."

Song Ci nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the White Eagle emblem suddenly burst into flames. Under the snow-white light, a pair of huge wings instantly spread out behind Song Ci.

Then came the second pair.

He tried his best to burn the power of the artifact, feeling the continuous majestic divine power pouring into his body, and at the same time slowly raised his head, his eyes locked on Tie Wu in the air.

"???"

Tie Wu had never seen an Apostle who dared to use the artifact so recklessly.

Did he think he lived too long?

Using divine power like this... even if the body could bear it, how long could he live?

The next moment.

Song Ci rushed to the sky.

Tie Wu's expression changed drastically. He ignited the Wine God's artifact in an instant. Countless steel rose from the ground in the old district, colliding in the air and condensing into a thick barrier weighing several tons.

"Boom!"

The steel barrier was smashed by Song Ci with one punch!

The second barrier condensed again!

Song Ci punched again!

Smashed again!

The veins on Tie Wu's forehead bulged. He watched the madman's fist break through layers of barriers in an instant. This extremely shocking scene was the result of a huge amount of divine power being spread and wasted. The result of burning divine power without regard to the cost was... unless he also burned his life, he would be knocked out with this punch.

Tie Wu was forced to burn the artifact in the same trend.

He drove countless steel and collided fiercely with Song Ci!

In an instant, two streams of light, one black and one white, were thrown away respectively. One crashed to the ground, chiseling a huge pit in the ground, and the other was beaten and thrown into the air, struggling to stand firm.

In the next instant, the snow-white figure that crashed to the ground rose into the sky again as if not feeling any pain, and the divine power burned even more brilliantly and crazily!

Tie Wu's eyes were full of blood, and he was also a little crazy.

Still want to fight?

Madman!

This person is not an apostle, but a real madman!

He didn't want to play with this kind of madman!

I'm not playing anymore... Tie Wu roared, tearing his throat: "Old Qin! Save me!"
