Above all spirits

Chapter 466 Sword Pointing to the Mountain Peak

With Werner's situation explained.

Gu Yun's initially dismissive expression gradually darkened.

I never expected that my unintentional act would reveal so much about Guangxuzi's background.

It seems so.

Guang Xuzi's methods of concealment far surpass those of other methods.

All beings, in their myriad forms, seek wisdom; yet I, being formless, sink into folly.

'What does this mean?'

'Smart Rules...'

'Even someone at Lin Fan's level can't fathom the depths of this rule.'

'What kind of tactic is this?'

'cheat?'

'Can you really fake someone's abilities?'

Gu Yun really couldn't see through it.

However, if you insist on saying it this way, it does indeed have a sense of being relative to strength.

Although it has a negative connotation.

But it is undoubtedly also a manifestation of wisdom.

After all, creatures without intelligence can't fool others.

Gu Yun stopped pursuing her baseless speculation.

Even if he had doubts about Guang Xuzi's identity, he could only put them aside for the time being.

And as time slowly passed.

A faint, discreet discussion began to emerge among the demons.

This somewhat unusual behavior caught Gu Yun's attention.

It didn't take long.

He then displayed an expression of complete understanding.

It turns out that the demons ranked lower were sticking together for warmth.

All they wanted was to survive this trial.

They agreed to work together to seize and protect a fifth-grade special spiritual treasure, exchanging ownership every hour to ensure they received the minimum score and wouldn't be eliminated by the rules.

At worst, they can work for the Imperial Palace for free. A hundred years may seem like a long time, but that's from a human perspective. For a demon's lifespan, a hundred years is just a small chapter in its life.

It looks wonderful.

It seems that as long as the teams are properly formed, all demons can survive this trial.

But will it really be so smooth?

Gu Yun glanced at the few demons who had appeared from the beginning as bullies.

At this moment, they actually started interacting with each other.

Gu Yun sighed.

I will no longer pay attention to this.

These are none of his business.

'Gu boy, what's your choice?'

Let's touch it.

'what? '

'And that Mu Wu.'

'Are you sure? He most likely also possesses domain power, meaning he's a demon with one foot in the domain realm.'

"You know, I hate trouble. The thought of being attacked continuously gives me a headache. I feel like I'd rather pick the weakest among the strong. I'll have to face it eventually anyway. Besides, there's a big difference between using a spiritual treasure and not using one to penetrate the Taiyuan Cold Iron. The other one is royalty. There's no other way but to have him."

...

Sudden.

In a fleeting moment when none of the demons noticed.

The space around the five mountain ranges suddenly trembled, as if some kind of power was gradually gathering.

For a while.

The fog between the mountains began to thicken, blurring the view.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Countless flashes of inspiration appeared simultaneously.

It transformed into beams of light, projecting across the mountain range.

The most striking feature is the beam of light atop the five mountain ranges.

All the demons understood that this meant the special magical artifacts had been placed.

The trial is about to begin.

The rustling sound stopped abruptly at that moment.

Huang Taixu's voice arrived late, but it did.

"Trial..."

"start!"

The sound was like Mars.

It ignited and set the entire venue ablaze in an instant.

Countless demons who had long been poised to strike.

Suddenly, it unleashed its full power.

The moment when soul essence, magic power, and various elemental forces resonated in unison, the entire trial space was shaken and trembled slightly.

next second.

The demons who participated in the competition transformed into countless streams of light of different colors.

Some rushed into the woods behind them.

Some leaped up and paddled towards the mountainside.

of course.

A small group, however, did not seem to be in a hurry to go. Instead, they formed cliques on the spot, which must have been planned in advance, perhaps for survival or for ranking.

but.

The most dazzling figures were the four who soared into the air and rushed toward their respective mountain peaks.

And countless dazzling streaks of light shot toward the summit of the last mountain range, which was not being noticed by the four strongest participants in the preliminary trials.

These demons are undoubtedly no ordinary beings.

In this regard.

Gu Yun didn't hesitate much, but simply narrowed his eyes at the mountain range he was about to charge towards.

He then decisively used his powers: the racial talents of stealth and etherealization, and disappeared into the forest.

Just as he expected.

Mu Wu, this "easy target," is not someone I only want to bully.

Even Xue Lingjian was followed by an extremely powerful aura, let alone the powerless Mu Wu.

As expected, three streaks of light followed closely behind him.

Judging from their aura, they are not weak.

Clearly, these demons were hiding their true strength from the very beginning.

After all, a high score in the preliminary test does not necessarily mean a strong fighting ability. Every demon has hidden cards that cannot be revealed in the preliminary test.

The so-called preliminary test is probably just a qualification to enter the formal trial in their eyes; they don't care about the ranking.

But now, the real showdown is about to begin.

but.

There were no rats following the prince and princess.

Do not know why.

Gu Yun inexplicably mourned for a second for the demon behind Xue Lingjian.

My feeling is that the sixth-ranked demon, who was originally fifth but was squeezed out of the top five because of the Blood Sword.

Otherwise, Gu Yun couldn't think of any other motive.

If he chooses the princess or Mu Wu as his target.

There might be another explanation.

But the Bloodstained Sword...

This guy is so scary.

He is no ordinary genius who can be compared to him.

He might be even stronger than that prince.

Even Gu Yun, who had now manifested his true form, wasn't very confident that he could defeat him.

A thousand words.

Say ten thousand.

It still comes down to the background.

Look how comfortable those princes and princesses are, always getting their hands on top-quality spiritual treasures.

Although Gu Yun was filled with countless thoughts, he was not slow at all, and he was already close to the mountain peak in just two breaths.

With his ability to become invisible, traversing the forest is the shortest and best path for him.

With the natural concealment and stealth ability, Gu Yun was confident that he would not be hindered by any contestant and would obtain the special spiritual treasure at the summit as soon as possible.

Over the sky.

One of the demons chasing Mu Wu, with a single horn on its head and wielding a silver-white longsword, appeared silently beside Mu Wu, seemingly using some kind of power.

A giant sword shadow appeared behind him, resonating slightly with the sword in his hand.

The moment Xiang launched his attack on Mu Wu.

The giant pupil embedded in the hilt of the sword, which was originally closed, seems to have been sensing something.

He suddenly opened his eyes, it was extremely eerie.

Immediately afterwards, the silver-white longsword that the unicorn demon swung at Mu Wu was covered with a layer of black light, which sent chills down one's spine.

In this regard.

Mu Wu merely snorted, a cold smile playing on his lips beneath his mask, a chilling confidence flashing in his eyes.

"It has no power, not even a domain force."

"Out of control."

After the whispers.

He gently waved his hand towards the sword's edge.

Suddenly.

A huge, skeletal phantom appeared behind him.

The phantom's skull resembled a dragon, its body like a giant centipede, and it stretched out three pairs of huge bone wings on its back. Although both were phantoms, the six-winged dragon centipede behind Mu Wu was exceptionally realistic, as if it was about to break through the boundary between reality and illusion to tear flesh and drink blood in the trial space.

"Power: Ossification".
