Above all spirits

Chapter 480 A Rare Gain

While it's difficult to react extremely quickly, it's not difficult to spot a figure that isn't deliberately hiding.

Slow action does not mean reduced perception.

Gu Yun was directly above him.

Judging from the footprints left on the ground, it's easy to tell that he jumped up, his goal being to shield himself from most of the blade's edge.

He understood the reasoning, but what the man in gray didn't understand was why Gu Yun was unaffected.

For a moment, he even thought that Gu Yun and that woman were conspiring to deceive him.

But he also knew that the possibility was very low.

The deed has already happened; the question now is how to face it.

This stupid woman.

It actually completely unleashed the power of soul essence!

The man in gray felt a pang of regret.

after all.

It's his own fault.

His words were clearly the last straw that broke the camel's back. At that time, he only thought about getting himself out of trouble. After all, the trial grounds were only so big. If Gu Yun could break through his hidden methods, it would be useless to hide anywhere. So he impulsively thought of bowing down to Gu Yun.

However, they did not expect the blue-eyed woman to fight to the death, and they also underestimated her ice elemental power.

Now, the man in gray only hopes that Gu Yun will let him go later.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and a phantom resembling a scorpion suddenly appeared behind the gray-clad man, its entire body radiating powerful soul energy fluctuations. Unfortunately, due to the restrictions, he was unable to fully unleash his power.

Suffering harm is inevitable.

The man in gray stared intently at the icy blue blade of light that was about to strike.

With a sudden, sweeping motion, the two daggers clashed and slashed, the patterns in the center of the daggers gleaming slightly.

Suddenly.

Two slender, gray-black blades formed an "X" shape, bursting forth like mad horses.

Subsequently.

The scorpion behind him lightly tapped, and a faint purple flash appeared on the blade's edge.

"Power: Shattered Shadow!"

The gray-clad man gritted his teeth and used almost all of his available soul essence.

Even so, he knew very well that simply blocking this blow was far from enough.

Next.

I just hope that the man in black who was caught in the crossfire can also lend a hand...

"Pfft!"

The gray-clad man's pupils constricted sharply, and he lowered his head in disbelief, staring at the black scythe blade that had pierced through his chest.

The death energy continued to invade through the wounds, eroding and spreading within his body, hindering the gray-clad man's normal recovery.

The man in gray noticed something was wrong with his body, a look of despair flashed in his eyes, and crimson blood flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.

"you…"

Gu Yun didn't waste any words, his eyes remaining cold.

Suddenly raising the sickle in his hand, before the gray-clad man could finish speaking, he exerted force upwards from the man's chest, instantly slicing the gray-clad man's upper body in two.

Because of the complete coverage of death energy, not even a drop of blood gushed out from this strike.

"If you decide to kill, you should be prepared to be killed."

"Is not it?"

"Or do you think that if you beg for mercy, I should let you go?"

The man in gray had no way to refute it, nor did he have the means to do so. The two daggers he had been gripping tightly slipped from his hands and fell to the ground, seemingly signifying the end of his life.

Perhaps without the influence of death energy, this level of injury would only be considered a fatal wound, not enough to kill the demon general. Unfortunately, there is no "perhaps".

As Gu Yun's whisper ended.

A series of azure blade flashes followed.

The gray-clad man's slash failed to stop the azure blade light that seemed to cleave the heavens and earth in the slightest.

but.

It can't be said that it was completely useless; at least the power of the blade's light had dissipated by nearly half.

The remaining enemies no longer pose a threat to Gu Yun.

"Boring."

"Ice element, ha, that's the element I hate the most."

"No one."

A pale purple halo enveloped Gu Yun's body, and it was because of this halo that Gu Yun was not affected by the negative effects of the slowdown.

Although his body was covered by thin ice one after another, how could the empty, spiritless restraints stop him even a step?

Gu Yun didn't even glance at the fallen corpse; even if it wasn't a corpse, it wouldn't be able to fight again.

Unable to regain his footing and swing his sword, Gu Yun chose to raise his left hand and parry with one hand.

Its peak performance was once again on display.

The Yin-Yang diagram of life and death behind him also appeared and rotated.

An unparalleled sense of oppression suddenly descended upon Gu Yun.

It's different from the somewhat unpredictable ambiguity of being in the air.

The Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram rotating in the forest makes people feel the reality even more.

As the white side was wiped away, the frost melted, greenery returned, and some flower buds even opened in response.

But these sights disappeared when the dark side arrived; the branches and leaves curled up, turned yellow and became stained, and the newly blooming flowers withered and drooped immediately.

Two extreme scenarios, repeating themselves in the cycle of the Yin-Yang diagram of life and death.

The unstoppable azure blade light was stopped at the tiger's mouth of Gu Yun's left hand.

The invisible and imperceptible black death aura instantly destroyed the original energy structure of the blade light, and the gray-clad man's efforts were undoubtedly responsible for the smooth intrusion.

The tiger's mouth suddenly clamped down.

"Crack!"

"boom!"

The blade flashed and shattered instantly, like a dreamlike bubble bursting in an instant.

The blue-eyed woman, who had collapsed to the ground, now had eyes filled with terror and despair.

That's a lie... right?

The man in black standing before me.

In just a fleeting moment.

He broke free from the shackles of extreme cold, used and killed her "collaborator," and even shattered her all-out attack with a single hand.

The difference... is like a chasm.

After doing all this, Gu Yun then delivered two more blows to the gray-clad man. Unfortunately, he couldn't use his power, Assimilation, in the trial space; otherwise, Gu Yun would have likely set the place on fire.

After ensuring that he was absolutely dead, Gu Yun then somewhat relaxed as he put away the two daggers that had fallen to the ground and the gray-clothed man's spatial ring.

"kindness?"

"You actually forgot to destroy the spatial ring?"

A look of joy welled up in my heart.

The spatial ring system in this world is ridiculous. Although the mental shackles on the spatial ring will automatically unlock after a living being dies, as long as a self-destructive consciousness is released before death, all the items inside the spatial ring will fall into the spatial turbulence.

This is one of the reasons why the Chaotic Starfield is so popular, because it is a place frequently visited by spatial turbulence.

The Netherworld can instantly kill, so there's basically no air force involved.

It's too difficult to achieve an instant kill in the Upper Realm; Feng Qiao's attempt didn't yield any results.

This time, looking at the black scythe in his hand, whose cracks had widened even further, Gu Yun no longer felt any heartache.

Because two more magical treasures will be used in succession.

The death energy with the [Return to Silence] property is powerful, but ordinary carriers can't withstand it.

As for the spirit patterns on the magical treasures, Gu Yun couldn't use the scythe, and he had no interest in "saving" the two daggers. Even if he could replicate the spirit patterns of a demon general whose strength was lower than his own, it wouldn't make much difference.

Just treat it as a consumable.
