Chapter 1157 - 63: Unleashing Full Firepower, Ultimate Assault
The shadow of the Suxuan Tree in the Pure Land rose from the ground, and the overwhelming intent of Silent Annihilation instantly enveloped the Taotie.
This strike, Gu Shen was extremely solemn, directly concentrating all his spiritual power.
He was well aware... without using the Taboo Seal, his current strength should only be able to match someone like Yuan Zhong, an Eleventh Layer Transcendent, on equal grounds at best. Any higher would be extremely strenuous.
The Taotie was a top-level Fourth Tier, just one step away from being Titled.
đđŤđđ˛đđđŻđđ¨đ§đđ.đđ đŚ
In the Great Achievement Domain, there should be two mature laws that have been nurturedâ
At this level of Fourth Tier, he was no match.
To stop the "Taotie" with his own strength, among the four people at the mountaintop at this moment, only Bai Xiu might be able to.
Therefore.
Gu Shenâs requirement for this strike was not high.
If it was a confrontation, he only hoped to be able to repel the Taotie, so that the situation between the two could be stalemated, even if he got injured, it wouldnât matter... Anyway, there was the "Flame of Life" to repair the wounds.
Tonightâs encirclement at "Kulong Snow Mountain," the thirty-one targets locked on were all in the bag. Their strengths varied, but if all were captured, it would be considered a "harvest."
But the real big fish is indeed the foremost in this Snow Cage!
As long as the four of them could hold the "Taotie," Uncle Gao would soon arrive... by then, it would be a real great victory of cooperative assault!
The big fish has already bitten, and all he needs to do is prevent it from escaping the net!
But unexpectedly.
Faced with Gu Shenâs all-out strike... the latter neither dodged nor avoided.
He didnât even put up any defense!
The Taotieâs eyes were scarlet, starting to run, he dashed in the direction guarded by Gu Shen... just like that, he crashed into the Great Cold Domain filled with the "Silent Annihilation" intent!
"Not going to counterattack with me?"
"Determined to take the attack head-on and escape?"
Gu Shen was momentarily stunned, but immediately understood the Taotieâs intention. What he feared most initially was that this guy would hit too hard so he couldnât withstand it.
But now it is entirely different.
The Taotie must have sensed Uncle Gaoâs spiritual aura, knowing that itâs unsuitable to linger here, so he chose to flee directly. This is a choice made in desperation, allowing no hesitation. He also knew that once he engaged Gu Shen, regardless of the outcome, his escape would be interrupted, leaving him no chance as the other three caught up!
Judging by the spiritual aura, Gu Shenâs realm was the lowest among the four.
Therefore, he wished to forcibly endure Gu Shenâs spiritual attack.
"Is there such a good thing in this world?"
Gu Shenâs expression darkened.
Since the Taotie wouldnât fight back, he opened up his methods!
His Spirit Sea was instantly mobilized!
Although the previous intense battle was brief, while observing from the sidelines, Gu Shen had already discerned the Taotieâs domain laws roughly... at this moment, both of Taotieâs laws were fully unveiled.
[Inevitability], flung him towards the next destination in the north of Kulong Snow Mountain.
[Absorption], indiscriminately receiving Gu Shenâs killing intent, attempting to convert it.
"Chi Huo, come forth!"
In this world, some things can be converted, while others... cannot!
Gu Shen directly summoned Chi Huo.
His thought was simple.
Since the Taotie only wanted to escape... and chose to ignore his attack.
Then he might as well seize the opportunity, unleash all his methods, and directly crush this No. 1 super criminal of the [Snow Cage]!
Chi Huo, Pure Land, Suxuan Wood... his spiritual attack methods, even among the Fourth Tier, could be considered top-notch deadly weapons.
Given the special circumstances, and that all present were allies, Gu Shen, decisively set his thoughts, no longer considering further.
With a flip of his hand, Gu Shen brought out the "Ghost Veil" and the "Blessed Robe of Light."
He donned the Ghost Mask.
Then draped on the Light Robe.
The next moment, the revealed aura on Gu Shenâs body became incredibly contradictory, one side bright, the other sinister... with the use of these two Seals, his spiritual power surged dramatically!
The Taotie, who crashed into Gu Shenâs domain, had his scarlet pupils suddenly contract!
He looked towards Gu Shen, upon that Ghost Mask and Light Magic Robe, as if he had seen some incredible secret, his expression reached the pinnacle of shock.
"Buzz buzz buzz."
In just a split second.
Countless black, blazing light flames burst forth from the robe, transforming into a brilliant pillar of light that enveloped the Taotie.
This pillar of light almost extracted eighty percent of the vast spirit within Gu Shenâs Heart Seaâ
...
...
Kulong Snow Mountain, a jet-black Blazing Light swept out from the mountain peak.
No one would believe this beam of light was related to "Light City"... Although it borrowed the power of the Magic Robe, Gu Shenâs spirit and the boost provided by the Ghost Mask completely changed the intrinsic spiritual power of the light beam.
Yet this was still a vast and shocking strike.
The scarlet night was torn apart by the jet-black light, making it hard to believe this was the power a "Fourth Tier" could unleash, the other three on the mountain peak had expressions not much different from Taotieâs earlier.
The only one remaining relatively calm was Bai Xiu.
However, Bai Xiuâs expression was also quite complex... He looked at Gu Shen shrouded in the endlessly swirling snow dust in the distance. In the flash of light just now, he clearly saw Gu Shen taking out some "Taboo Seal," but as the light dust gradually dissipated, there was nothing on the latter.
That should have been two "Seal" items combined to produce miraculous effects.
Now they have already been put away by Gu Shen.
"What was that thing just now?"
Mu Qingyangâs complexion was pale. He also saw the action of Gu Shen taking out the item... From the effect of the attack produced, could it be a half-S-class seal item?
"Brother Gu is S-class, naturally he would have his own treasures..."
Gong Zi said, "Remember to keep it secret when you look back, its level is probably not lower than the [Phoenix Bell]..."
The scene just now was really somewhat shocking.
It wasnât just thunderous without rain.
But... really deadly!
Even with [Phoenix Bell] protecting him, he wasnât confident to completely withstand this blow.
"Hmm... Iâll keep it secret."
Mu Qingyang nodded quickly.
He looked at his already destroyed [Red Dye], feeling complex.
High-level seal items are really important.
In the Fourth Tier battles, even B-level seal items already struggle to fulfill the role... After just two rounds with Taotie, his beloved gun was completely broken and could be declared scrapped.
However, the strength of the Transcendent itself seems even more important... If he remembered correctly, during the battle at the camp, Gu Shen didnât even use any seal items, just an iron knife, and defeated Poison Ghost and Silver Eye.
"Was that thing just now Brother Guâs âTaboo Sealâ from the bottom of the box?"
Mu Qingyang murmured to himself at the bottom of his heart.
"So, Taotie got killed just like that?"
Mu Qingyang pursed his lips, and with the rise of this idea, a sense of ominous foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.
Not far away, at the location hit by the light beam, a large amount of snow dust was swirling.
He couldnât clearly see the scene in the snow pit.
The surging spiritual power almost obliterated a ten-meter radius... But as the strong wind blew, the true form in the snow pit gradually became clearâ
A giant concave pit, nothing more.
"Wait... escaped?"
Mu Qingyang, along with Gong Zi, was quite surprised.
That strike just now was too dazzling, spiritual power couldnât capture the happenings on the scene.
"Hmm. They escaped."
A calm and serene voice sounded on the mountaintop.
The four greeted each other.
"Uncle Gao."
"Uncle Gao."
The newcomer had a ponytail, graceful demeanor, dressed in a simple, unadorned suit, holding a long umbrella in hand. Although he seemed unhurried, from the "snow flakes" attached to him, it was easy to guess... he had actually hurried to the Kulong Snow Mountain peak with all his might.
Gao Tian came beside Gu Shen and softly asked, "How do you feel?"
"I feel completely drained..."
Gu Shen chuckled, honestly regretted, "Itâs a pity I couldnât kill him."
"Being able to achieve this, youâre already very strong, very strong, very strong."
The usually non-complimentary Gao Tian unprecedentedly used three "very strong" to comfort.
"Itâs just a pity, you overlooked one thing... a supercriminal like Taotie, the reason for desperately fleeing isnât out of carelessness nor being overconfident." Gao Tian said slowly, "Besides fear of me, thereâs one more reason."
"He escaped because he only follows his instincts."
Gu Shen sighed lightly, taking Uncle Gaoâs words, said with emotion, "Youâre right... I indeed overlooked a possibility."
"Taotie is an out-of-control person, towards a madman with an extremely chaotic Spirit Sea... so my spiritual attack, could only be effective to a limited extent."

(Happy New Yearâs Eve to everyone)
