Chapter 128 The Real Loser… Is You

“The real loser… is you.”

Gu Shen’s voice echoed on the shores of Red Lake.

Besides this voice.

Everyone also heard the sound of the Guang Ming Bi Lei shattering.

The burly, mountain-like figure began to crumble inch by inch. Jia Wei propped himself up with his spear, his Guang Ming Bi Lei breaking into pieces, like porcelain falling off, clattering to the ground.

No one had expected.

Under such heavy armor, there was actually a thin and frail body.

“……”

Gu Shen looked at the man before him and fell silent.

His expression was somewhat complicated, because he hadn’t expected that he, having been in a state of suspended animation beneath the ice sea for six full years without food… would find Jia Wei even thinner than himself!

After the Guang Ming Bi Lei fell away.

Jia Wei revealed his true face.

Bearing countless honors and divine decrees, many were curious about the face beneath the armor.

Holy, divine, solemn?

None of them.

Jia Wei’s face was charred black, his skin covered in scars and blood, only his eyes remained intact. Even after a fierce battle, his eyes were still dignified and sharp.

Normally, the Guang Ming Bi Lei’s helmet only revealed this line.

Gu Shen knew how these injuries came to be.

These were left behind in the war to讨伐冥王.

Gu Shen had seen similar injuries in the Underworld Palace before.

Back then, those Saint Adjudicators who attacked the River of the Underworld were refined into puppets by the former King of the Underworld, but Jia Wei was a lucky one. In that war, he escaped the River of the Underworld and the Underworld Palace by chance, but he could not escape the fate of being poisoned by disaster.

In the vision of Achilles’ Heel, the once perfect person now had countless flaws.

The Guang Ming Bi Lei was not just a piece of protective gear.

It was also a vessel to condense brilliant light.

Losing the Guang Ming Bi Lei, Jia Wei’s strength dropped by a large margin, and the brilliant light falling on him became much dimmer…

Perhaps it was because the current “light” sensed his true aura.

It was a dirty soul that had been defiled by darkness and tainted by evil.

In a sense, Jia Wei, who had been snatched back from the King of the Underworld, was not much different from those “亡灵” who had been completely transformed.

He had been wearing the Guang Ming Bi Lei not because he was ashamed of his frail body.

But because his faith in the light made him unable to face the believing gods with his defiled true face.

He couldn’t imagine how the gods would view him.

Over the years, he often recalled that tragic and cruel battle. He had thought countless times that it would have been better if he had died on that battlefield.

If that were the case…

He would have been considered to have fought in accordance with his faith, persevering until the last second.

Was this kind of survival a betrayal?

The real torment often came from the spirit. The Light God bestowed the Guang Ming Bi Lei upon Jia Wei as a sign of his recognition.

But the “filth” left behind by the former King of the Underworld was the most vicious trick.

Jia Wei couldn’t control his spirit. The higher he stood, the more he worried that the true face under the armor would be revealed, and the more he worried that the fact that he was not of “pure light” would be seen through by the believers. But today… everything he feared had happened.

The Guang Ming Bi Lei shattered.

He lost the Red Lake duel.

That ugly, hateful face appeared before every Saint Adjudicator.

Jia Wei took a deep breath.

“It’s not… over yet…”

Jia Wei gripped the Light-Piercing Spear. He propped himself up with the giant shield, aimed the spear at Gu Shen, and shouted, “Today’s battle is a fight to the death!”

The Guang Ming Bi Lei was shattered, but his body was still there, and so was his will!

“…Good!”

Gu Shen flicked his hand and extinguished the Candlelight. He no longer needed this weapon. Facing Jia Wei, who had lost the blessing of the Guang Ming Bi Lei, he was not careless.

This body was very weak, but it was able to withstand the King of the Underworld’s erosion and survive until now.

In fact, a powerful soul still dwelled in this body.

Jia Wei’s attack six years ago almost annihilated Gu Shen, but it also gave Gu Shen a new life. He had sketched out countless scenes of dueling and fighting in Guang Ming City in his mind.

Jia Wei was a powerful opponent!

Even though Gu Shen had successfully broken through and mastered two complete domains, he still didn’t have a 100% certainty of winning.

So in this battle, Gu Shen did his best.

He used all his means except for authority, and even did such a crazy thing as “生灭合一”.

If Jia Wei hadn’t stabbed the Light-Piercing Spear into his own body.

This battle might have had more twists and turns.

But… there were no ifs.

Even if Jia Wei didn’t say anything, Gu Shen wouldn’t have stopped fighting. Just as he said, this battle was a fight to the death!

Gu Shen had come to kill Jia Wei!

The greatest respect for an enemy was to kill him, ensuring that his soul was annihilated and his source energy dissipated.

Similarly… he knew very well that if he was defeated, Jia Wei would not have any mercy. The Light-Piercing Spear would once again pierce his chest and shatter his heart!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Iron scales danced in the sky, turning into a battle knife.

Gu Shen held the battle knife and slashed without any fancy moves on the鸢返 shield. The blazing fire and pure land domains descended at the same time. Jia Wei, who had just stood up, was once again chopped into the mud of the lake shore. Before he could stand up, Gu Shen used his mental power to manipulate the Iron Throne to split, using iron scales to drag the Light-Piercing Spear, pulling the opponent up, and then heavily kicking the thin man in front of him to the ground again.

Then came a storm of attacks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Xizhou Shield and the Bi Lei were pressed against the lake shore, unable to fight back!

There wasn’t much to see in the scene in front of them. A large amount of flying starlight iron scraps flew over the Red Lake shore.

Jia Wei’s spear and shield had lost their effectiveness.

The lake water of Red Lake was stained red with his blood.

He was finally beaten and flew far away… And ironically, because he had lost the Guang Ming Bi Lei, the Red Lake water no longer recognized his identity. The lake water was even unwilling to hold up his body. After the layer of starlight covering his body surface shattered, Jia Wei wanted to stand up, but it was as if he had stepped on an ice hole and suddenly fell into the lake water.

Gu Shen stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.

He picked up the iron knife again, preparing to walk towards Red Lake and end the life of this Great Knight.

“Enough!”

At this moment, a low roar sounded.

Gu Shen looked back.

He saw a middle-aged figure about forty years old, wearing a snow-white priest robe specially made by the temple elder, came to the Red Lake shore…

Gu Shen knew who this was, the Third Elder of the temple, Batu.

The Grand Elder was still deep in Red Lake at the moment, and Su Ye had been led out of the temple… Today, the last high-ranking person in Guang Ming City on the Red Lake shore was this Third Elder Batu.

Obviously, he saw that the defeat was set and wanted to come out and mediate.

“……”

Gu Shen’s eyes were indifferent. He just glanced at Batu, then looked away again and continued to walk towards Red Lake.

“Mr. Gu, I know everyone called you that six years ago—”

Batu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and slowly said, “You have already won Jia Wei and smashed the Guang Ming Bi Lei in this battle. Why continue? Mr. Gu… perhaps you are still young and don’t understand some principles. This is Guang Ming City. Leave people room to maneuver.”

“Bah! Bullshit!”

A roar sounded from the lake shore, interrupting Batu’s admonition.

“???”

Batu frowned and looked over.

“If Mr. Gu loses, would you still stand up and say these words? Would you stop Jia Wei and not let him attack?”

The one who spoke was Zhong Fan.

He stared at the Third Elder in front of him and ridiculed without hesitation, “Back then, Jia Wei wanted to kill Mr. Gu, taking advantage of the sinking of the Mulberry Continent and hiding it from the world for six years. Now, what’s wrong with Mr. Gu wanting revenge? If you really have the idea of ‘leave people room to maneuver,’ why didn’t you stand up before? Is the temple elder such a hypocritical person?!”

Batu couldn’t speak for a moment.

He could only glare at the current head of the Gu family’s mission.

Iron Hand Luo Yu expressionlessly spat out a sentence.

“Pay debts, life for life.”

These eight words made the temperature on the Red Lake shore suddenly drop several degrees.

What really solidified the atmosphere… was the second half of Luo Yu’s sentence.

Luo Yu stretched out his iron hand, pointed to the broken dome in the sky, and the twinkling stars.

“These are the original words that the old man just told me through mental link. At this moment, the old man is watching here.”

Batu was silent. He looked back and saw a sea of people under the starry night.

There were many pairs of eyes here, the same as Luo Yu and Zhong Fan at this moment.

These eyes looked cold and restrained, but in fact they were already full of anger and could erupt at any time… Jia Wei’s stab six years ago was exposed today, which put the Guang Ming Temple at an absolute disadvantage.

So even he couldn’t continue to sophist and couldn’t say words like asking Gu Shen to stop there.

In the end, Batu could only look at Gu Shen pleadingly.

“Mr. Gu, if you are willing to stop here… the temple is willing to meet all your requirements.”

He knew what had happened in Guang Ming City in the past few days.

He also knew what the Gu family mission’s journey to the west was for.

“All requirements?”

Gu Shen stood on the lake surface and paused for a second.

“We can open the secret prison and release the people the Gu family wants to release. We can also deal with the troubles of your friend ‘Song Ci’.”

The Third Elder said it euphemistically.

He knew that there were thousands of people watching Red Lake at this moment, so he put his posture to the lowest. When strong喝止 had no threatening effect, low-pitched pleading often had some effect.

Red Lake shore ushered in a brief silence.

“Sorry.”

Gu Shen looked directly into Batu’s eyes and said calmly, “I only have one request, and that is to make Jia Wei pay the price for what he did six years ago.”

After saying this, he dived into Red Lake.

The Red Lake water, which was filled with countless rays of light, was actually very dark at the bottom, where there were thousands of dim arcs struggling, like aquatic plants.

And in the aquatic plants, there was a dying weak figure struggling.

Gu Shen dived down and easily found his target.

He stabbed the iron knife into Jia Wei’s chest, ending the last pain of the other party’s life.

This knife.

Was very similar to the spear six years ago.

But this time, Gu Shen didn’t stab off.

He made sure that this knife pierced Jia Wei’s heart, and also made sure that the painful figure no longer struggled and lost all breath.

Because he had “died” once.

So Gu Shen wouldn’t give an opponent like Jia Wei any chance to make a comeback.

Gurgle.

On the surface of Red Lake, a large amount of red rose.

This was the crimson glow accumulated at sunset, but at this moment, it was as gorgeous as blood.

(ps: Explain the update situation. Because the recent plot is important, I have been writing and deleting, and I am not very satisfied. It was not until just now that I repaired and released it. The book review area and chapter commentary have been banned these days, and I can’t post. Considering that there have been some many single chapters recently, a single chapter statement will also affect everyone’s reading experience. So here’s what I want to say. There will be three updates every day. I will try to have one chapter during the day. If it is not released at noon, it is because I am stuck/modifying. Everyone don’t worry.)
