Fresh blood scattered and fell from the sky!

The dazzling black light that exploded upon collision gradually dissipated, revealing the scene in the high sky.

The domain formed after the fusion of 【Tie Wei】 and 【Xuan Shui Zhi Pei】 transformed into a two-meter-tall giant, standing in front of the Xuan Turtle Divine Envoy.

This anthropomorphic being was cracked by a single punch.

"Is this your 'absolute defense'?"

Gu Shen opened his mouth with a light smile.

Although his tone was sarcastic and disdainful.

The defense capability displayed by the Xuan Turtle was indeed not bad.

In terms of strength, the Xuan Turtle, after his advancement, was actually only at the level of Yun Hu.

It was just that each had their own specialty.

From the first day he embarked on the path of extraordinary cultivation, the Xuan Turtle specialized in "defense." The two domains he comprehended after advancing to the fourth rank were essentially about consolidating his "life-saving" abilities!

Therefore, in dealing with this kind of crushing battle, the Xuan Turtle was much stronger than Yun Hu!

To kill Yun Hu, all that was needed was to confront him head-on.

【Tian Yun】 plus 【Bao Hu】, after Yun Hu advanced to the title, he could only choose to confront Gu Shen head-on... if he lost, he would die!

But the Xuan Turtle was different.

This 【Tie Wei】 was indeed very tough. Gu Shen's punch only penetrated it, without killing the master behind the domain along with it.

Half of the Xuan Turtle's shoulder was cracked by this punch, and he was still in a state of shock, unable to recover.

"Come on, continue!"

Black hair danced wildly, the demon grimaced, and at this moment Gu Shen summoned the two major domains of the Fiery Pure Land. His whole body was entwined with flames and wind and snow, and his fighting spirit was high!

Gu Shen punched again!

"No..."

The Xuan Turtle reacted. This guy was the extraordinary life that killed Yun Hu! He was simply no match!

With this second punch, he had no power to resist at all, and he quickly fled.

Exchange blows?

How could he be so unwise as to exchange blows with this terrifying being!

"Bang!"

Above the long sky, the Xuan Turtle's fused domain instantly retracted. His whole body's speed soared, and he immediately "elementalized," but even so, he was still caught up by Gu Shen!

Gu Shen punched the Xuan Turtle Divine Envoy in the back of the heart, emitting a muffled sound!

"Ah..."

The Xuan Turtle looked miserable and screamed. His back was beaten into a bloody pulp, and his whole body flew out heavily like a kite with a broken string, but he still didn't die!

"Interesting, he's really resistant to beating."

Gu Shen couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

After delivering two punches, he turned his gaze to the direction of the North Continent's Source Energy Boat, where a cloud of smoke and fire mist swirled, creating great chaos.

……

……

"Ugh..."

Great Deer Sage looked gloomy. He looked at the blood flowing from his neck. A sharp battle blade had pierced his "Immortal Deer" domain.

This was a strike from a fourth-rank extraordinary!

It had actually injured him, a titled expert!

Zhong Yuan, who had stabbed this blade, now had his hands stacked on top of each other, pressing down hard on the hilt of the blade, wanting to push it in further.

Unfortunately, the hands of the Deer-Head Divine Appearance gripped the blade.

Great Deer Sage had completed the block at the critical moment.

"You are only a little bit away from 'Fourth Rank Beyond the Realm'..."

Great Deer Sage narrowed his eyes and stared at the thin, blonde man in front of him. He said coldly, "It's a pity, you can only hurt me, you can't kill me!"

Just as Great Deer Sage was about to strike.

A wailing sound entered his heart sea.

"Great Deer! Save me!"

When he was previously in seclusion, Great Deer Sage and Xuan Turtle Divine Envoy had each left a strand of spirit in the other's heart sea. This was originally a conspiracy by Great Deer to plot against the Xuan Turtle. When the Xuan Turtle broke through to the title, he could constantly blackmail the Xuan Turtle with the reason of "dying together" and make him work for himself!

It was just that he never expected.

That something unexpected could happen even with attacking two Source Energy Boats!

Great Deer turned his head and happened to see the scene of Gu Shen's second punch heavily hitting the Xuan Turtle's back of the heart.

Boom!

In the sound of explosive blasts, the Xuan Turtle was sent hundreds of meters away, shooting into the distant snow mountain like a cannonball.

Seeing this scene, Great Deer Sage was completely stunned.

"???"

After advancing to the title, judging from the intensity of the two domains that the Xuan Turtle Divine Envoy comprehended at the fourth rank, he was, in any case, a "middle-stream pillar" among the titled experts. How could he be crushed into this shape?!

Immediately after.

A cold and gloomy voice rang in Great Deer's ear.

"Are you ready? You're next."

Great Deer Sage's eyes blurred, and that ghostly black shadow had already pressed in close. He originally wanted to kill the North Continent fourth-rank in front of him first, but the sense of oppression the opponent gave him was too great, so he had to give up and concentrate all his spirit on the giant axe.

"Buzz buzz buzz——"

The giant axe lit up with layers of light, superimposed and gathered.

"Drink!"

Great Deer Sage manipulated the Immortal Deer domain and smashed the giant axe down with all his strength——

"The light of a firefly dares to compete with the sun?"

Gu Shen sneered.

After the fusion of the two domains of the Xuan Turtle Divine Envoy, it could be considered somewhat interesting.

This Great Deer Sage was obviously much worse!

This axe looked imposing, but the deer-shaped Dharma only added a layer of "great power" to the axe. There were no elements or other wonderful uses!

Gu Shen slapped it away with one palm.

Since Great Deer Sage had chopped out a "simple and unadorned" axe.

Then he would return it with a simple and unadorned palm. This slap only contained the two major domains of the Pure Land and Raging Fire.

"Boom——"

The giant axe phantom that was chopped down was shattered. Then, the deer-headed man holding the giant axe was also crushed in the entanglement of countless flames and frost.

Great Deer Sage's pupils trembled. His whole body was affected by the counterattack force and flew out heavily, embedding himself in the distant snow mountain like the Xuan Turtle Divine Envoy.

……

……

The protective shield of the North Continent's Source Energy Boat quickly propped up.

Zhong Yuan escaped death, his expression pale. At this moment, he stared at the black-haired "mysterious demon" dancing in front of him with great fear.

He had previously encountered a red shadow attack.

He did not believe that someone who had knocked Great Deer Sage away must be an allied force from North Continent.

Gu Shen's gaze swept back from the distant sky. He looked at Zhong Yuan and then at Wei Cheng...

This time, the East Continent had sent two young people for the Ice Sea mission. Correspondingly, the North Continent needed to send experienced and seasoned extraordinary experts. Zhong Yuan, the captain of the Investigation Corps Second Team, was a very good choice. Gu Shen had also seen the other one. He was one of the soul figures of the Second Army and Silver Fox's most valued adjutant. His name was Wei Cheng.

The reason why North Continent sent these two was not arbitrary.

With just one glance.

Gu Shen could see that Zhong Yuan and Wei Cheng were both in a very important "threshold state." These two veteran fourth-rank powerhouses had already comprehended their own two domains. All that was left was fusion.

Domain fusion was something that could not be forced.

Even if one comprehended two domains, it might take ten years, decades, to fuse them.

The Ice Sea mission was a kind of good fortune, an opportunity.

Yun Hu and Xuan Turtle of the Source Tower had both broken through in the crisis of life and death...

But it was a pity.

Wei Cheng and Zhong Yuan had not replicated this miracle when facing Great Deer Sage just now.

"What do you want to do?"

Feeling Gu Shen's gaze, Zhong Yuan was extremely nervous. He immediately flashed and stood between Gu Shen and Wei Cheng, gripping the battle blade with difficulty and pointing the blade tip at Gu Shen to prevent the latter from attacking.

It was Wei Cheng who had blocked Great Deer Sage's bombardment for him earlier.

Now, it was his turn to stand in front of Wei Cheng.

"..."

Wei Cheng, whose jade-white hands were stained red with blood, showed a complicated smile.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you."

Gu Shen tried to make his voice cold.

The moment he saw Zhong Yuan, his heart sea surged... After being trapped in the Ice Sea for a full five years, this was the first time he had seen his former comrades and old friends in the real world.

But he knew.

Now was not the time to recognize each other.

Since he had put on the 【Demon Mask】, it meant that he had decided to hide his "Gu Shen" identity.

Gu Shen waved his sleeve. The North Continent Source Energy Boat, which had finally stabilized its hull, was slapped by him in the air and swung towards the distance of the snowfield. However, this time the slapping force was just right. It only made the protective shield flicker for a while and did not directly smash it.

Next, there would be a great battle with those two titled experts. He needed to clear the field quickly to avoid accidentally injuring the innocent!

The direction in which the North Continent Source Energy Boat was swinging was the place where the Source Tower Cloud Boat had crashed earlier.

The East Continent Source Energy Boat's source energy core had been destroyed.

But the core of the Source Tower Cloud Boat was still good!

"Leave quickly!"

Wei Cheng quickly opened his mouth in a low voice. He had seen the scene of Gu Shen's attack earlier and knew that even if he and Zhong Yuan joined forces, they would never be the opponent of the person in front of him.

Now was not the time to dwell on why this person was so kind...

Not being targeted by the other party was already a blessing among misfortunes!

He grabbed Zhong Yuan and was about to leave.

But with one tug, the blonde man was still unmoved.

Zhong Yuan stared at the pupils hidden behind Gu Shen's demon mask.

There, scarlet and dim firelight was emitting.

After Gu Shen spoke, Zhong Yuan, who had originally felt as if he was facing a great enemy, suddenly relaxed for some reason.

He looked at the demon in front of him and inexplicably connected this dark figure with an "old friend" whom he had not seen for many years.

"You..."

Zhong Yuan took a deep breath and opened his mouth hoarsely, "Are you still alive?"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Cheng was stunned.

"..."

Gu Shen certainly wouldn't respond. He closed his eyes and reopened them. The firelight in the depths of his pupils had been extinguished, leaving only endless darkness.

Gu Shen spoke coldly, not showing any mercy.

"Get out of here!"

Zhong Yuan still wanted to say something, but the black-haired demon in front of him suddenly waved his sleeve. For a moment, the wind and snow were raging, and an irresistible force suddenly erupted, sending him and Wei Cheng flying out...

He did not receive a single word of reply.

But at this moment, he received a silent answer.

This slap seemed fierce.

But in reality, it did not contain any killing intent.

Gu Shen's previous slap could have knocked off half of Great Deer Sage's life, but at this moment, after Wei Cheng and Zhong Yuan flew out hundreds of meters, they adjusted their balance and landed steadily.

Before the two could completely stand firm.

A dull loud noise like a bell ringing bloomed on the top of the sky——

The two raised their heads and looked at the place where they had originally been suspended with great shock.

They saw a huge arc of azure blue light slash across! Covering the sky!

This arc of light was激荡斬出from the snow mountain in the distance——

Great Deer Sage, whose body was flowing with blood, flew out from the sunken mountain wall. He took out a curved conch and tapped it with his finger. The tall deer-shaped divine statue began to play the music of the sea tide.

The broken black axe condensed in the clouds. Under the blessing of the authority 【Chao Xi】, a layer of blue sea tide arc light lingered on the surface of the black axe!

This axe was much stronger than before!

Wei Cheng and Zhong Yuan looked pale. The two were very clear... that seemingly fierce "black-haired demon" had actually taken action for their own good just now.

If the two of them were still in their original positions.

Then this axe would have cut them in half!
