Above all spirits

Chapter 489 Disappointment, Taking Action

The silver-haired woman remained frozen in mid-air, maintaining her speeding posture.

Ice crystals spread across her body at a visible speed, turning her grayish-white clothes into a frosty color.

This was clearly not ordinary ice element freezing; otherwise, a demon general's physical body could not have been affected to such an extent.

The silver-haired woman was about to play a card that would lower her hand.

The next moment.

A primal fear, born from the instincts of living beings, instantly swept over my entire body.

This is not her fear.

It is "it".

It was "its" fear that affected her, preventing the silver-haired woman from using the power "it" had granted her.

that's it.

He was frozen in mid-air.

The silver-haired woman struggled to break free of her restraints, but the weakness that spread through her limbs made it impossible for her to break free.

"Damn it, don't let your fear affect me!"

"This is really the end."

"Unable to enter a state of nothingness."

The sharp edge behind him suddenly descended.

The silver-haired woman closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate.

Just as she was lamenting the brevity of life, a puzzled voice pulled her back to reality from her reverie.

Is that all?

"There really is no backup plan?"

Gu Yun stood behind the silver-haired woman with some regret, facing the incoming sword energy.

For a fleeting moment, he genuinely thought the silver-haired woman might have some amazing trump card up her sleeve, but it turned out to be just a pile of junk.

Is this ice seal really that powerful?

in fact.

Gu Yun's guess was correct; the silver-haired woman did indeed have another method, but under these circumstances, she was unable to use it due to unforeseen circumstances.

"Tsk."

"It's ice element again."

Gu Yun showed no sign of disrespect and decisively entered his full power mode, releasing the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram into the air once again, which was witnessed by all the demons.

With a sudden swing of his hand, the black scythe, carrying a chilling aura of death, streaked through the air, its contrasting arc of light resembling a galaxy tearing through the night sky.

"boom!"

In the instant of clash of weapons.

The deathly blade, enhanced by the [Return to Silence] attribute, clashed violently with the sword energy infused with the [Sharpness] attribute, and the resulting energy ripples even shook a neat circular gap in the clouds within a radius of a hundred meters.

finally.

The return to silence has eroded the sharpness of one's edge.

However, the side effects of [Return to Silence] and the impact of [Sharpness] also caused Gu Yun to lose a weapon.

Black Scythe finally met its end, shattering into countless black fragments that scattered like meteors across the forest below.

The lingering purple-gold magical power remained in the air.

A cold voice, filled with shock and confusion, reached Gu Yun's ears.

"This is... [burial]?"

"Do not…"

Huang Xiaoyu immediately rejected her judgment, because Gu Yun did not exude any killing intent, and it was not the [Bury] trait.

Regardless of what it was, he shattered the [Sharpness] formed by the power of the metal element, and Gu Yun's actions immediately made Huang Xiaoyu's face fall.

"Gu Yun, what are you doing?"

Gu Yun calmly drew out one of the two newly acquired magical treasures, the azure-blue knife.

He wasn't comfortable using the other pair of daggers for the time being.

The blade shimmered with a deep blue light, and soon after it was drawn, it was covered with a thin layer of ice crystals, likely due to some inherent property of the blade that resonated with the power of the ice element.

Gu Yun chuckled lightly, and deathly aura instantly enveloped the entire blade from his palm. The blade trembled slightly, and the ice crystals instantly dissipated.

Then, Gu Yun approached the silver-haired woman behind him, who was frozen in ice, raised the knife in his hand, and gently touched the ice covering her entire body with the tip of the knife.

The death energy, carrying the characteristic of "Return to Silence," instantly invaded it, spreading rapidly like ink dripping into clear water. Almost simultaneously, a faint cracking sound came from inside the ice layer, a sign that the energy structure was being devoured and disintegrated by the death energy.

The moment Gu Yun turned back to face Huang Xiaoyu.

"Crack——!"

"boom!"

The ice covering the silver-haired woman shattered instantly.

Freezing status, lifted.

For a while.

The chill spread, forming a brief white vortex behind Gu Yun. He raised his hand to disperse the mist and calmly explained.

"Your Highness, I think you should know that I am looking for something."

"Now."

"I found it."

"It's that simple."

"Could I borrow her for a while so I can work out some problems that are bothering me? Once I've figured them out, you can do whatever you want with her."

The silver-haired woman behind him didn't seem to recognize Gu Yun as the culprit who had given her that flying kick yesterday. She was about to thank him, but Gu Yun cut her off with his words.

"Hey! Please don't do that!"

"Why are you all treating me like some kind of commodity?!"

The silver-haired woman was somewhat troubled. The instant Gu Yun said those words, she actually wanted to slip away. After all, as long as she entered the void state in advance, she was confident that she would not be bound by any force.

However, the moment he was freed, the voice of "it" appeared in his mind.

Even in that life-or-death crisis, "it" couldn't bear to say goodbye. Instead, the moment it escaped, it gave it a second task.

"Win him over at all costs."

And this "it".

It was the Void Octopus under the jurisdiction of the Prison Suppression Division.

The silver-haired woman was named Yue, a single character that seemed like a casually chosen name, not taken seriously by anyone.

And that is indeed the case. She was merely the result of the void octopus injecting some power into it during the process of absorbing negative emotions to restore its strength, kneading some "impurities," and then using the power of the rules of illusion and reality to materialize it.

Although the void octopus spent a lot of effort to send the moon out, as a created being, it had only one purpose.

"Help me escape at all costs."

Yue could not resist this primary mission. Her fate was already sealed from the beginning. Even if she died on this path, there would be another "Yue" and the "Yue" after that.

And now.

She has another task.

"I am also a person with my own identity, okay?"

"They just transferred my usage rights like that..."

"Stinky octopus."

Her eyes were slightly red, and she moved her lips as she mumbled something.

Even when she was about to die, she had never felt so uneasy and aggrieved.

Because of her original self, although the outcome was predetermined, at least she had the freedom to choose her own path in the process.

But now the appearance of this second order means that she must obey Gu Yun's every word, and even her last bit of self has been easily taken away.

Although she understood the reason behind the order.

Gu Yun disintegrated the [Ice Seal] in that instant, which means that Gu Yun is very likely also able to break the [Ice Seal] placed by the Prison Suppression Division.

In this way, we might be able to take a shortcut and avoid infiltrating the prison as an undercover agent.

But this did not stop Yue from feeling extremely sad.

Like now.

It seemed no one cared about her thoughts.

Her protests were naturally ignored by Gu Yun and Huang Xiaoyu.
