Chapter 240 Thunder shot in from a strange place
Outside the ruins.
Somewhere in a dense forest.
A huge rock was buried in the ground, with the upper part exposed. It was covered with leaves, but it barely formed a flat surface.
At this time, a stone table and two stone chairs appeared on it inexplicably. It seemed that there was no trace of natural erosion like the huge rocks under the feet, and it was somewhat out of tune with the surrounding environment.
Two figures were sitting on the stone benches at this moment, chatting and drinking tea.
"Qiu Zhong." One of them looked into the distance, at the location of Ruins No. 8, "When do we start?"
"Don't worry." Qiu Zhong smiled and gently blew on the tea in his cup. "If we had rescued Yu Cang earlier, he might have blamed us for not letting him have enough fun."
"You, you." The man shook his head, rather helplessly. "I must remind you that we only have the means to forcibly demolish Ruins No. 8 in theory, but the upper limit of the unknown 'rules' surrounding Ruins No. 8 has not yet been fully explored. Don't wait until a crisis occurs and you can't rescue Yu Cang, then you will be in trouble."
The order not to violently demolish the Shendu No. 8 ruins was issued personally by Ye Yan Shenhua.
Ye Yan naturally wanted to wait for the consciousness in the ruins to awaken naturally and ask her some questions, but apart from that, there were also reasons why he couldn't demolish it by force.
The ruins were surrounded by an "unknown rule". This rule was not aggressive, but it was frighteningly stubborn, and even gave people the feeling... like the will of the Blue Planet itself!
This was said by Ye Yan Shenhua himself.
In fact, there has been much speculation throughout history about whether Blue Star actually has a will. Some ancient records suggest that there are indeed god-like beings on Blue Star, but those records are too far away and, without exception, are vague, making it difficult to understand whether they are myths or legends.
In short, as far as it can be seen now, the existence of "gods" has never been seen on the blue planet.
But the rule guarding the No. 8 ruins really gives people a sense of absoluteness like a god, as if as long as it is within the scope of Blue Star, the core area of the No. 8 ruins cannot be forcibly demolished.
This is what Ye Yan Shenhua said, but in fact, he has never tried to break it himself. After all, going against such rules will definitely be overwhelming and difficult to control, and the aftermath may even kill the consciousness inside.
Fortunately, this rule is only for protection and cannot do anything to harm others, so Ye Yan did not care.
"Hey, it's okay." Qiu Zhong said, "That unknown rule is not aggressive. Before Xiao Cang entered the ruins, I secretly added a shield to him. Even if we can't dismantle the ruins, Xiao Cang's safety will definitely be guaranteed."
"You old brat." The man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You have shielded Xiao Cang and Gu Jie Shuang, but what about Zhong Qi? That child's life is no longer a life?"
"...Have I always been this unreliable in your mind?" Qiu Zhong sighed, "I'm not Jiang Shan... Don't worry, the shield soul card I used on Xiao Cang is the result of my recent research. As long as he sees Zhong Qi, his safety will be no problem."
"Oh?" The man's eyes lit up. "What kind of soul card? Let me see it!"
With their current strength, there is basically no possibility of further improvement. Only this kind of interesting soul card can attract their attention... Not to mention this method of protecting the younger generation, which elderly person would not be tempted.
"No rush." Qiu Zhong smiled, "Just wait and see. Based on my understanding of Xiao Cang, there will be big things to see soon."
"...No, I'm talking about Old Qiu." The man said with a look of disbelief, "Yu Cang is a recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal, but after all, he's only a Level 5 Soul Card Master. What kind of a fuss can he cause? He can't even summon a Legendary Soul Card right now... Is it worth your not even being distracted?"
Hearing this, Qiu Zhong just shook his head mysteriously.
"Hehe...just watch."
…
Outside the ruins.
Yun Yan and Qu Shao were still paying close attention to the data, but they still couldn't find any problems.
On the side, Ye Lai watched for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the huge sphere.
Now, there is probably no information outside that needs attention... Next, it seems that the owner of this body will need his help.
He flew in front of Qi'er.
At this moment, the girl was holding a small doll, standing obediently beside the busy Yun Yan and Qu Shao, quietly watching the numbers on the instrument.
She couldn't understand the data, but it didn't matter, she could eavesdrop on their conversation.
Now it sounds like... there isn't any progress.
Qi'er bit her lips lightly.
She was also very worried when Yu Cang left her side... After all, this was the first time she was so far away from Yu Cang.
If the admissions office hadn't extended the distance between her and Yu Cang, she would probably have fainted from the ban.
However, she knew that she could not do anything at the moment, so she could only stand quietly aside, hoping to hear good news from Yun Yan and the others.
Ye Lai said that there was no problem with Brother Yu Cang's safety... Ye Lai wouldn't lie, wouldn't lie...
At this moment, the little doll in her arms suddenly poked its head out.
She sensed Ye Lai's arrival... Although they had been together for a long time and already knew what kind of dragon Lord Ye Lai was, she still felt a little timid when facing Ye Lai, and she didn't know why.
Even Master Feng, who had only met a few times and always had a cold face, did not give the Weeping Girl the feeling of being as majestic as Ye Lai...
"Weeping girl." Ye Lai said, "I am going to find the master of this body. From now on, take good care of Qi'er."
"Eh? Okay!" The little mannequin's head nodded frantically.
Seeing this, Ye Lai smiled imperceptibly. He turned and looked at Qi'er: "Don't worry, I will return with the master of this body soon."
"Okay..." Qi'er suddenly looked up and said, "Ye Lai, tell me... can I go with you to my brother? Just like when we went to the Bloodline Empire... Qi'er can fight too!"
To be precise, Qi'er's fighting ability is quite strong.
The power of the Kang spell card of the original body is already very powerful. If it is fused with Ye Lai's bloodline, then the combat power of the dragon girl Qier at the epic level may have the same performance as Duan Feng's light and dark contradiction dragon.
The girl looked at Ye Lai expectantly, but Ye Lai just shook his head with a slightly apologetic expression: "I'm sorry... the circumstances are special this time, so I can't do it."
"Okay then..." Qi'er nodded dejectedly.
"Just be patient and wait. This is what the master of this body wants." Ye Lai took a last look at the girl and turned around. A soul card automatically opened behind him. He flew into it and went to Yu Cang's side.
Behind him, Qi'er looked at the place where Ye Lai disappeared with a gloomy expression.
She thought about the scene just now, when Sister Jie Shuang tried her best and finally got to her brother's side... It was great. Normally, she would be very excited to see such a scene, but now, she felt more envy in her heart.
Sister Jie Shuang still has a chance to give her all and fight for a chance to be with her brother, but I... have no chance at all.
She was too small to be in Star Sky's field of vision.
But she also wanted to go on adventures with her brother... In the previous battles, Qi'er had performed very well, without being a drag or causing any trouble!
How can I always stay by my brother's side...
Suddenly, the girl seemed to have thought of something. She raised her wrist and looked at the vague evil lines spreading under her skin.
Today, these lines are very dim and almost invisible unless you look closely.
Yu Cang took good care of Qi'er. Both mentally and physically, the girl has basically gotten rid of the nightmare she had at that time. Occasionally, when she mentioned it, she could laugh and joke about her past experiences.
But, if I want to stay with my brother forever...
Yu Cang was growing too fast. When she was in the Bloodline Empire, she could easily keep up with the pace and try her best to help Yu Cang. But now, she encountered something that she was powerless to do. It was foreseeable that such things would happen more and more in the future.
Qi'er was silent for a moment.
I...seem to have always had a choice. As long as I take that step, then no matter where my brother goes, I'll be able to help him...
That is... a complete card ban!
As if sensing the fluctuations in Qi'er's mind, the lines hidden under his skin seemed to become clearer.
When she was at the Fire Star Club, Mrs. Yu was only one step away from making Qi'er a "banned card", but at that time, she gave the right to write this stroke to Yu Cang.
However, there was one thing the girl had never told Yu Cang.
This part...she can also complete it herself - Mrs. Yu's work has actually always been completed.
Now, she is just a human girl who will die if killed, but after this stroke of the pen... she will become a banned card, and then, if she is killed, she will return to Yu Cang's side.
Do you want to leave this one out?
I heard that after becoming a banned card, one's original consciousness and personality will be shattered and reorganized, and one will completely become another person... Will that person also like his brother and sister?
Qi'er bit her lips, and at the same time, the lines on her body became deeper and deeper.
"Master Qi'er, what's wrong with you?" The weeping girl suddenly poked her head out from Qi'er's arms.
The doll struggled to climb up and came to the girl's cheek, hugging the girl's head with its furry body. "Don't worry, Master Qi'er, the master will be fine~"
"...Okay, I understand." The girl was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face. "Thank you for accompanying me, Weeping Girl."
"That's what a weeping girl should do!"
…
Among the ruins.
Buzz!
The air suddenly vibrated, and bright spots of light emerged from an unknown area, gathering in the air like a tide.
Yu Cang and the other two seemed to notice something and looked up.
Bo——
A crisp sound was heard, and a female body made up of light spots appeared on the palm of the huge statue in the venue.
Zhong Qi's face suddenly turned ugly.
"It's over... The princess is back."
At the same time, he suddenly felt guilty.
After all, he had just stolen the princess's authority... and he used the method that the princess taught him personally and the spiritual particles that she gave her personally.
To be honest, the princess was indeed good to him during the past month. Apart from not being able to leave, she had never treated him badly. She even chatted with him every day to keep him from being bored.
If the princess hadn't come from another civilization, if she hadn't been in a dangerous place like Ruins No. 8...
At this moment, he noticed that the princess was looking at him.
Zhong Qi coughed subconsciously and quietly looked away.
After doing something like this, the princess will definitely question her angrily... Although she said she was a princess, Zhong Qi felt that she was just a little girl who often couldn't help swearing.
Unexpectedly, instead of hearing any angry scolding towards him, he heard the princess speak with some joy:
"Really, Zhong Qi, it turns out you've already learned it and have been hiding it from me... Yeah, I should have thought of it earlier - it's amazing."
"Ah?" Zhong Qi was stunned.
After saying that, the princess looked at Gu Jieshuang again, "You too—just now, the way you entered the Starry Sky Vision Field is something I've never seen before. I'm very happy to see such a genius appear on Blue Star."
Gu Jieshuang held the frost-white sword and remained alert. He frowned slightly when he heard the words.
This princess's attitude...is not what she imagined.
"However." The princess's eyes fell on Yu Cang. "Outsiders, my father has ordered that you are not allowed to privately divide the power of the Imperial Star. This matter concerns the survival of the star realm, and there can be no leniency. If you are willing to accept the constraints of my spiritual flow and never improve your strength again, then I can allow you to stay on Blue Star on behalf of the empire. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to expel you.
"Wait a minute." Yu Cang interrupted the princess, frowning and saying, "I've been wanting to ask you since a while ago—why did you call me a stowaway? And what about the empire and father you mentioned? Where did this king come from who has the right to issue orders to Blue Star?"
The princess suddenly paused and remained silent for a moment.
Her smile remained unchanged, still perfectly in line with etiquette, but suddenly, words uttered that didn't fit her expression: "... Damn it, are you unaware of this sneaking across? It's only been a month since Blue Star first entered the Starry Sky Vision Zone, and you've already dared to unleash your fully formed Rhythm Body. What? Your life star is the Sun? Do you think you're a Star God?"
Yu Cang: "...Why, is it unusual to have a rhythmic body from the beginning?"
This actually asked him about his blind spot.
"Of course it's not common, it's impossible." The princess laughed, "You're pretending quite well. It seems you're determined not to change... Zhong Qi, Gu Jieshuang, I'll take you out first. I'll talk to you after I've taught you a lesson..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Jieshuang narrowed her eyes, the coldness around her body almost visible to the naked eye, "Want to sow discord between us and the boss? You don't even know a better excuse - Auntie!"
cry!
A loud cry sounded in the venue. Zhong Qi looked over and seemed to see a huge bird spreading its wings behind the woman who suddenly appeared. A cold wind inexplicably swept through the venue. Then, he only saw the exploding ice layer exploded under Gu Jieshuang. The next second, she rushed out!
Click!
A long sword made of solid ice was suspended beside Gu Jieshuang, as if it was possessed by some existence, and it was as agile as a flying bird.
In the air, the long ice sword was flying back and forth. Gu Jieshuang took a few steps on the sword and arrived in front of the princess!
Click!
The cold wind was raging in the sky, and stars flashed in Gu Jieshuang's eyes. At this moment, the world in front of her actually slowed down!
She discovered that when she entered the state where she could see the stars, her reaction speed would be greatly increased. Although it was not as exaggerated as when she just entered this state where she could even see the trajectory of light, for her now, it would undoubtedly greatly improve her combat effectiveness!
Slowing down the world in the eyes of a melee soul card master...what does it mean?
At this moment, her sight penetrated the cold wind and focused on the star steps that were constantly flashing in it.
Click!
Gu Jieshuang slashed with his sword, and gorgeous ice flowers bloomed on the chest of the giant.
Too slow...
Such a thought flashed through her mind.
But I'm not talking about others, but myself.
From this perspective, my body, which could be described as "agile", has become annoyingly slow.
She has already pushed the functions of this body to the limit, but in her own eyes, this is far from enough!
Gu Jieshuang was expressing regret over there, but she actually scared Zhong Qi a lot.
This sword... is so fast!
Is she from Shendu too? How come I've never seen her before... At this rate, if she joins the Battle Club, it's hard to say whether I can still hold my position as club president safely...
It's okay that he's fast. If he increases his soul energy to the maximum and rushes forward, he can reach this speed. However, at this speed, his control over his body will be much weaker. If he's not careful, he may even lose balance and fall to the ground.
But Gu Jieshuang...she just displayed such speed in the air!
While stepping on the flying sword accurately in the air, he also continued to accelerate in the process... What kind of magical reaction ability is this!
This means that she must have complete and total control over her body without any mistakes... Zhong Qi could only say that he couldn't do it with this sword.
but……
His eyes fell on the princess in the palm of the giant statue.
Although the speed is very fast, it seems... it has no effect...
Just now he clearly saw that when Gu Jieshuang slashed with the sword, the princess's body made of photons fluctuated for a moment, and then... it was like an illusion, and was pierced through effortlessly.
Zhong Qi thought for a moment.
After he mastered the spirit particle flow, he probably knew what method the princess was using.
The princess's body is made up of a stream of spirit particles, which cannot be destroyed. Therefore, no matter how fierce the attack is, it will be useless... If you want to cause damage, you must find the princess's real body.
As for the main body, it should be...
Zhong Qi suddenly fell silent.
So, is he going to kill the princess? He has no hatred against the princess, and she even learned the Spirit Flow because of her. Originally, he just wanted to escape. How to deal with the princess is naturally decided by the country.
But if fighting is truly unavoidable...
…
Feng was also surprised.
The moment Gu Jieshuang rushed out, Yu Cang also immediately entered combat mode. Just now, while waiting for Zhong Qi to find the authority, he had been secretly accumulating dragon scales, so now he naturally has no shortage of dragon scales.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the battle, he could directly pull out the Sword Saint of Dragon Eye!
As soon as Feng appeared, he saw Gu Jieshuang's amazing knife move in the sky.
……good.
The will completely controls the body, giving everything, yet still being able to do it with ease... This friend of the summoner already has the qualities of a martial saint.
Feng's eyes couldn't help but fluctuate for a moment.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of admiration for talent.
However, now is not the time to think about these things.
He naturally knew why the summoner called him out...it was just a formality.
One side.
Yu Cang turned around and looked at Zhong Qi: "Now, can you still find the permission to leave?"
"I'm still looking..." Zhong Qi said, "I don't know why the princess didn't take back my spirit child. Logically, she should be able to do it... I'll try again!"
"...Okay, then you try it first." Yu Cang took a deep breath, "Feng, use [Dragon Roar at Dawn]."
The Sword Saint nodded, his golden pupils wafting slightly.
He opened his mouth, and the air seemed to freeze at that moment.
"——Yuelai."
…
Gu Jieshuang turned around, used the stone statue to gain leverage, and wanted to rush out and continue fighting.
"It's useless." The princess still stood in the palm of the giant statue, shook her head and raised her hand.
Buzz!
Gu Jieshuang suddenly felt the gravity on her body suddenly increase. Caught off guard, her figure that was rushing towards the princess turned into a dive towards the ground.
At the same time, countless golden spots of light combined into flowing light and fell from the sky!
Gu Jieshuang raised her sword to block - she did block it, without even any effort, but she suddenly felt that the temperature of the Bingxin Sword in her hand seemed to return to normal in an instant, as if all its powers had disappeared.
"This..." Her face changed slightly, and she looked to the side. Sure enough, the ice sword controlled by her aunt did not escape this disaster, and even her aunt's ability could not be used temporarily.
Gu Jieshuang did not panic in the face of the sudden change. After all, the world in her eyes was incredibly slow at the moment. Even when she was falling in the air, she could still observe the situation on the field and think.
When she saw that the Sword Saint had called out Ye Lai's name, she felt a little relieved, and then slowly controlled her body, using the giant statue beside her for leverage, and landed safely.
Just then.
—Crack! !
A black and purple lightning pierced through the entire venue, and everyone present changed color in an instant.
Zhong Qi's hair stood on end. Facing this thunder, he felt as if he was being targeted by the whole world. An illusion that he would die soon enveloped his whole body. He even felt as if the real "death" was now attached to the surface of his skin, and he would fall into the abyss if he was not careful!
What the hell is this!
The summoning alone is so exaggerated... Yu Cang, are you really a level five soul card master?
Gu Jieshuang and Yu Cang's expressions also changed suddenly.
Because - this "malice of the world" did not come from the outside world.
The source of this thunder is in the eyes of the giant statue in the ruins!
Yes, the malice of the world slashed into the fusion vortex of the Sword Saint from the eyes of the Colossus!
As for the princess, let alone her.
Although Yu Cang could no longer see the princess's expression clearly, he knew that her expression was definitely more exaggerated than theirs.
As for why he was so sure...
Because, ever since she appeared, the princess has been standing on the palm of the giant's chest.
So... when the "malice of the world" shot from the colossus' eyes towards the Sword Saint.
Just right—passed through the princess.
Now, the princess's body, which was made up of spirit particles, has been broken into pieces.
Thanks to Xiang Nanmuyun and book friend 20220701210007899 for their rewards!
Happy Qixi Festival everyone~
