Light Fortress-Chapter 1493 - 210: Wildfire

The rumble of [Tanyao] erupted from underground, with the final ash thinning out, yet the force remained, and the storm swept fiercely upward.

The Great Knight clad in heavy Bright Armor gripped a blazing long spear, its slender tip still stained with blood as red and fiery as flames.

This blood was still burning, genuinely like a flame.

"Swish—"

Jia Wei flicked his wrist, scattering the blood-colored flames from the spear tip, and coldly surveyed the figure that had fallen into the volcanic chasm.

He knew.

This spear was not enough to kill Gu Shen.

So he struck again.

Jia Wei raised his arm, lifting the Light Breaking Spear above his head, and amidst the thin air, countless brilliant lights converged, thousands of sparks colliding like stars, producing a crisp resonance, and then the spear was enveloped in pure light, transforming into a pure white color.

"Boom!!"

Jia Wei exerted all his strength to throw the Light Breaking Spear.

The void shattered.

As the spear was hurled, it instantly pierced through Gu Shen’s body, the overwhelming fourth-order Transcender killing intent embedded within the spearhead was entirely unleashed upon entering the target’s body!

The Source Armor did not hold up, and the iron-scale skin was shattered.

Gu Shen roughly understood what it felt like to be struck by [Truth.Extinguishing Candle].

Bang!

He was pinned heavily by the Light Breaking Spear into the depths of Tanyao, nailed in front of the ancient inscription array of the decaying heart.

...

...

"Someone’s coming."

After completing this, Jia Wei squinted his eyes, looking towards the position of the gloomy clouds far away.

He originally intended to delve deeper into the mountain.

But now, withdrawing without being noticed was preferable; going further would only lead to troublesome consequences.

Logically... the two shots he just executed were sufficiently lethal.

As long as it wasn’t a fourth-order Transcender, there was no chance of withstanding it!

Being pierced through by the "Light Breaking Spear" without defense could directly cause mortal injury!

Moreover, he had clearly sensed earlier that Gu Shen was already wounded, and now pinned at the bottom of [Tanyao]... with the impending volcanic eruption, this level of explosive impact, let alone Gu Shen, even a top-tier Titled or Divine’s Apostle would face certain death!

With this realization, the Great Knight of Light City hesitated no longer, concealed all presence, and swiftly departed from Tanyao’s core area.

High above, the wings of the micro-boat spewed energy.

"Are you sure there’s no need to ’avoid’ anything?"

On the Source Energy Boat, it was still Bai Xiu and Mu Wanqiu, with Bai Xiu continuing to pilot.

He vaguely figured out some of Gu Shen’s secrets...

But he didn’t reveal them.

It was unexpected that Mu Wanqiu didn’t require Bai Xiu to leave.

"No need for avoidance, just searching for someone."

Mu Wanqiu said expressionlessly: "Besides you, I called another person here."

"Who?"

Bai Xiu instinctively asked, then he guessed who Mu Wanqiu had summoned.

Who else could it be?

It must be Lu Zhe!

"Captain Lu’s side has concluded, and Wei Cheng from the Second Army has already set out with the refugees from the North Cave," Mu Wanqiu calmly stated, "with Mr. Wild Dog overseeing, Captain Lu can leave with peace... the micro Source Energy Boat has four seats, once we find Gu Shen, the four of us can execute the ’escape’."

"Hopefully so..."

Bai Xiu murmured softly, his sense of foreboding growing stronger.

In the core area, the Thunder Realm Walker’s vision was compressed to the extreme.

He could barely discern the dust swirling on the ridge.

At this moment, the mountain range was already swarming with a dense Beast Tide.

"Wait..."

Bai Xiu squinted, looking down at the dust storm beneath, his tone uncertain: "I seemed to have just sensed a ’living’ presence."

"Living presence? Is it Gu Shen?"

Mu Wanqiu’s spirit immediately tightened, simultaneously attempting to link through [Authority],though the ash could block [Authority],but if the distance was close... it should be effective.

"..."

A brief silence, Mu Wanqiu felt a bit disappointed.

Apparently not.

"At such a moment, how could there be a living person in Tanyao core area?" Mu Wanqiu furrowed her brow: "It’s unlikely..."

"It is unlikely..."

Bai Xiu lowered the Source Energy Boat’s altitude, yet the ash was too thick, and from the start he couldn’t capture any specific figure, this was merely a fleeting thread of Spiritual Sense emanating in the Heart Sea of a Transcendent, disappearing without a trace, leaving him somewhat skeptical.

"Is it my illusion?"

And at this moment, a deep voice pierced through the storm, echoing around the micro-boat.

"Gentlemen."

Bai Xiu directed his gaze toward the source of the voice, with the [Thunder Realm Walker] aiding the Thunder Light of heaven and earth, he could discern the appearance of the target who spoke.

It was a robed man floating three meters above the ground, his movements exuding a lazy demeanor, yet his expression was quite serious at the moment, his face, garments, and eyebrows dusted heavily... as a top-tier Fourth-tier Spiritual, when he expands his domain, no grain of sand from this storm should land on him.

Considering this weathered look, there could only be one possibility.

This man had dispersed all his Source Essence and Spirit... not even leaving the most basic protective domain.

"Captain Lu!"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Mu Wanqiu felt a reassurance.

To rescue Gu Shen, one must first ensure being able to "locate" Gu Shen...

Though she has [Authority] as a medium to connect, it’s not an all-assured situation. In such circumstances, the first person she considered was Lu Zhe, the only "Fourth-Order Transcender" she knew in the North Continent, Captain Lu’s searching abilities were among the elite of elites, and Captain Lu had already surveyed the core area once before, well-familiar with its topography.
