Outside the ruins.
Somewhere in a dense forest.
A huge boulder is buried in the ground, with the upper part exposed. It is covered with leaves, but it barely forms a flat surface.
At this time, there was an inexplicable addition of a stone table and two stone chairs on it. It seemed that there were no traces of natural erosion like the boulders under their feet, and they were somewhat incompatible with the surrounding environment.
Two figures were sitting on the stone chairs, chatting and drinking tea.
"Qiu Zhong." One person looked into the distance, where the No. 8 ruins were located, "When should we start?"
"Don't worry." Qiu Chong smiled, gently blowing the tea in the cup, "If we had rescued Yu Cang early, maybe he would blame us for not letting him have a good time."
"You, you." The man shook his head, quite helpless, "I have to remind you that we only have the theoretical method to demolish the No. 8 ruins, but the upper limit of the unknown 'rules' around the No. 8 ruins has not yet been reached. It hasn't been fully explored, so don't wait until the crisis comes and you can't save Yu Cang, then you'll be numb."
No violent demolition of the Shendu No. 8 ruins was allowed, which was an order personally issued by Ye Yan Shinhwa.
Ye Yan naturally wanted to wait for the consciousness in the ruins to wake up naturally and ask her some questions, but other than that, there was also a reason why it was impossible to demolish it by force.
The ruins are surrounded by an "unknown rule". This rule is not offensive, but it is shockingly stubborn. It even feels like... the will of Blue Star itself!
This was said by Ye Yan Shinhwa himself.
In fact, there have been many speculations throughout the ages as to whether Blue Star has a will. In some ancient records, there are indeed existences similar to gods in Blue Star, but those records are too far away, and without exception, they are vague, making it unclear whether they are myths and legends.
In short, as far as it seems now, there has never been a "god" on Blue Star.
But the rules guarding Ruin No. 8 really give people a sense of absoluteness like gods. It seems that as long as it is within the range of Blue Star, the core area of Ruin No. 8 cannot be forcibly demolished.
That's what Ye Yanshuashen said, but in fact, he has never tried to crack it himself. After all, fighting against this kind of rule will definitely be overwhelming, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to control it, and the aftermath may kill the consciousness inside.
Fortunately, this rule is only for protection and cannot harm others, so Ye Yan didn't care about it.
"Hey, it's okay." Qiu Zhong said, "The unknown rules are not offensive. Before Xiao Cang entered the ruins, I had quietly added a shield to him. Even if the ruins cannot be demolished by then, Xiao Cang's safety will definitely be no problem. of."
"You old boy." The man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You have put on shields for Xiao Cang and Gu Jieshuang, but what about Zhong Qi? Is his child's life at risk?"
"...In your mind, have I always had this unreliable image?" Qiu Zhong sighed, "I'm not Jiangshan... Don't worry, the shield soul card used on Xiao Cang was recently developed by me. As a result, 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? Show me it quickly!"
With their level of strength, there is basically no possibility of improvement. Only this interesting soul card can attract their attention... not to mention this method of protecting the younger generation. Which old man would not be tempted.
"There's no rush." Qiu Zhong smiled, "Watch first. According to my understanding of Xiao Cang, there will be big news later."
"...No, I'm talking about Lao Qiu." The man looked unbelieving, "It's good that Yu Cang is the winner of the Flame Emperor Medal, but no matter what, he is only a fifth-level soul card master now, how can he cause any big disturbance? ? He can’t even summon a legendary soul card right now... Is it worth it for you to not even be distracted?"
Hearing this, Qiu Zhong just shook his head inexplicably.
"Hmph...just watch."
…
The periphery of the ruins.
Yun Yan and Qu Shao were still paying attention to the data, but still couldn't find any problems in it.
On the side, Ye Lai stared at it for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at the huge sphere.
Now, there is probably no information out there 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 little 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 the conversation between the two.
Now it sounds like... there's not much progress.
Qi'er bit her lip gently.
Yu Cang left her side, and she was also worried... After all, this was the first time she was so far away from Yu Cang.
If the Admission Bureau hadn't extended the distance between her and Yu Cang, she would probably have fainted directly due to the ban card.
However, she knew there was nothing she could do now, so she could only stand aside quietly, hoping to hear good news from Yunyan and the others.
Ye Lai, there is no problem with brother Yu Cang's safety... Ye Lai shouldn't lie to others, he won't lie to others...
At this moment, the little doll in her arms suddenly poked its head out.
She sensed Ye Lai's arrival... Although she had been with him 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 Mr. Feng, who has only been seen for a few times and has always kept a cold face, does not give the crying girl the feeling of being as majestic as Ye Lai...
"Weeping Girl." Ye Lai said, "I am going to find the owner of this body. Next, take care of the chess pieces."
"Eh? Okay!" The little doll's head nodded crazily.
Seeing this, Ye Lai seemed to smile imperceptibly. He turned his head again and looked at Qi'er: "Don't worry, I will return with the owner of this body soon."
"Okay..." Qi'er suddenly raised his head and said, "Ye Lai, tell me... can I also go to my brother's side with you? Just like when we went to the Bloodline Empire... Qi'er can also fight!"
To be precise, Qi'er's combat effectiveness is quite strong.
The ability of the body's Kang Spell Card is already very powerful. If it is fused with Ye Lai's bloodline, the Dragon Girl's combat effectiveness at the epic level may be the same as Duan Feng's Light and Dark Contradictory Dragon.
The girl looked at Ye Lai expectantly, but Ye Lai just shook her head with a slightly apologetic expression: "I'm sorry... This time the situation is special and we can't do it."
"Okay then..." Qi'er nodded disappointedly.
"Just wait patiently. This is what the owner of this body wants." Ye Lai took one last look at the girl, then 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 of the scene just now, when Sister Jieshuang tried her best and finally went to her brother's side... It was great. Normally, she would be very excited to see such a scene, but now, she felt more envious.
Sister Jieshuang still has a chance to go all out and fight for a chance to go to her brother, but she... has no chance.
She is too small to enter the field of vision of the stars.
But she also really wants to take risks with her brother... In the previous battles, Qi'er obviously performed very well, without holding back or causing trouble!
How can I always stay with my brother...
Suddenly, the girl seemed to think of something. She raised her wrist and looked at the vague and evil lines spreading under her skin.
Nowadays, these lines are very dim and can hardly be seen unless you look carefully.
Yu Cang took good care of Qi'er. No matter mentally or physically, the girl has basically got rid of the nightmare at that time. When she occasionally mentions it, she can laugh and joke about her past experience.
But, if you want to stay with your brother forever...
Yu Cang's growth rate is 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. Now, she encountered something that she was powerless to do. It is foreseeable that such things will become more and more common in the future. Come more and more.
Qi'er was silent for a moment.
I... seem to have always had a choice. As long as I take that step, no matter where my brother goes, I can help him...
That is...complete card ban!
It seems that he has noticed the fluctuations in Qi'er's mind, and the lines hidden under the skin seem to have become clearer.
When she was playing in the Fire Star Club, Mrs. Yu was just one final stroke away from completing the chess piece as a "forbidden card", but at that time, she gave Yu Cang the right to write the stroke.
However, there was one thing that the girl never told Yu Cang.
This stroke... She can also complete it herself - Mrs. Yu's works are actually always in a completed state.
Now, she is just a human girl and will die if she is killed, but after this stroke is completed...she will become a forbidden card. At that time, if she is killed, she will return to Yu Cang's side.
Do you want to make this decision?
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 lip, and at the same time, the lines on her body were getting deeper and deeper.
"Lord Qi'er, what's wrong with you?" The weeping girl suddenly poked her head out of Qi'er's arms.
The little doll climbed up with difficulty, came to the girl's cheek, and hugged the girl's little head with its furry body, "Don't worry, Master Qi'er, the master will be fine~"
"...Well, I understand." The girl was stunned, and then a smile appeared on her face, "Thank you for accompanying me, weeping girl."
"This is what a weeping girl should do!"
…
Among the ruins.
Buzz!
The air suddenly trembled, and dazzling light spots emerged from the unknown area, condensing in the air like a tide.
If Yu Cang and the other three noticed something, they looked up.
Bo——
A clear voice came, and on the palm of the huge statue in the venue, a female body composed of light spots appeared there.
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 authority of the princess... using the method that the princess taught him personally and the spirit son he gave her personally.
To be honest, the princess was really good to him this month. Apart from being unable to leave, she never treated him badly at all. She even chatted with him every day to prevent him from being bored.
If it weren't for the fact that the princess came from another civilization, and if she wasn't in a dangerous place like Ruin No. 8...
At this time, he noticed that the princess's eyes were looking at him.
Zhong Qi coughed subconsciously and quietly looked away.
If she did something like this, the princess would definitely question herself angrily... Although she said that she was a princess, Zhong Qi felt that she was actually just a little girl who often couldn't help but swear.
Unexpectedly, instead of hearing the angry scolding at him, he actually heard the princess say with some joy:
"Really, Zhong Qi, it turns out that you have learned it a long time ago and have been hiding it from me... I should have thought of it a long time ago - it is very powerful."
"Ah?" Zhong Qi was stunned.
After saying that, the princess looked at Gu Jieshuang again, "You too - just now, I have never seen the method you used to enter the starry sky. I am very happy to see such a genius appear in Blue Star."
Gu Jieshuang held the frosty white sword and kept a vigilant posture. Hearing this, his brows furrowed slightly.
The princess's attitude... was different from what she had imagined.
"However." The princess' eyes fell on Yu Cang, "Outsiders, father and king have a destiny, are not allowed to divide the power of the Emperor Star without permission. This matter is related to the survival of the star realm, and it is impossible to tolerate mercy outside the law - if you are willing Accept the shackles of my spirit stream and never improve your strength again, then I can allow you to stay in Blue Star on behalf of the empire, otherwise, I can only expel you——"
"Wait a minute." Yu Cang interrupted the princess. He frowned and said, "I've been wanting to ask you just now - why did you say I was a stowaway? And where did the empire and father you mentioned come from? Is the king qualified to give orders to Blue Star?"
The princess suddenly paused and was silent for a moment.
The smile on her face did not change, it was still perfectly etiquette, but she suddenly uttered words that did not suit her expression: "...What the hell, did you sneak into the sky without knowing it? Blue Star entered the star field for the first time and was fully prepared. You only have one month to show off your complete body of rhythm. Why, your life star is the sun? Do you think you are a star god?"
Yu Cang: "...Why, is it unusual to have a rhythmic body from the beginning?"
This is actually asking him about his blind spot.
"Of course it's not common, so it's impossible." The princess chuckled, "You pretend to be the same, it seems you are determined to change... Zhong Qi, Gu Jieshuang, I will send you out first, and he will be there after I finish teaching him a lesson. Tell you..."
"What stupid things are you talking about?" Gu Jieshuang narrowed his eyes, and the coldness around his body was almost visible to the naked eye, "You want to sow discord between us and the boss? I don't know how to use a better reason - aunt!"
cry!
A loud cry sounded in the venue. Zhong Qi looked over. Behind the sudden appearance of the woman, he seemed to vaguely see a huge bird spreading its wings. A cold wind swept through the venue inexplicably. , and then, he only saw the exploding ice layer exploding under Gu Jieshuang, and the next second, she rushed out!
Click!
A long sword made of solid ice floated beside Gu Jieshuang, as if possessed by something, as agile as a flying bird.
In mid-air, the ice sword was flying around. Gu Jieshuang took a few steps on the sword and was already in front of the princess!
Click!
The cold wind was raging all over the sky, and stars flashed in Gu Jieshuang's eyes. At this moment, the world slowed down in front of her!
She discovered that when she entered this state where she could see the stars, her reaction speed would be greatly increased, although it was still not up to the level where she could see the trajectory of light clearly when she first entered this state. It's an exaggeration, but for her now, it will undoubtedly greatly improve her combat effectiveness!
Slowing down the world in the eyes of a melee soul card master... What does this mean?
At this moment, her eyes penetrated the cold wind and gazed at the stars that were constantly flashing in it.
Click!
Gu Jieshuang slashed through it with a sword, and magnificent ice flowers bloomed on the chest of the giant statue.
too slow……
Such thoughts flashed through her mind.
But he is not talking about others, but himself.
From this perspective, my body, which could have been called "agile", was already annoyingly slow.
She has used this body's functions to the limit, but in her eyes, this is not enough!
Gu Jieshuang felt sorry over there, but Zhong Qi was shocked.
This sword... is so fast!
Is she from Shendu too? How come I have never seen it before... At this speed, if I join the fighting club, it is hard to say whether my president can still be in front of him...
It doesn't matter if he is fast. If he has full buff soul kara and rushes forward, it is not impossible to reach this speed. However, at this speed, his control over the body will be correspondingly weakened, and it may even be bad. It is possible that you lose your balance and fall to the ground.
But Gu Jieshuang... she had such speed in the air just now!
While accurately stepping on the flying sword in the air, and constantly accelerating in the process... what kind of magical reflexes is this!
This means that she must completely control her body without making any mistakes... Zhong Qi can only say that he can't do this sword.
but……
His eyes fell on the princess in the palm of the giant statue.
Although it is very fast, it seems... to have no effect...
Just now, he clearly saw that when Gu Jieshuang slashed through it with a sword, the princess's body composed of photons fluctuated for a moment, and then... like an illusion, it was passed through without any force.
Zhong Qi thought for a moment.
After he mastered the spirit child flow, he probably also knew what method the princess used.
The princess's body is made up of spirit particles, which cannot be destroyed, so no matter how violent the attack is, it will have no effect... If you want to cause damage, you must find the princess's true body.
As for the original body, it should be in...
Zhong Qi suddenly fell silent.
So, are you going to kill the princess... He has no grudge against the princess, and even because the princess has learned the Reishi style, he originally just wanted to escape. How to deal with the princess naturally depends on the country.
But if the battle is really inevitable...
…
Also surprised was Feng.
The moment Gu Jieshuang rushed out, Yu Cang immediately entered a fighting state. Just now while waiting for Zhong Qi to find permission, he was secretly accumulating dragon scales, so naturally there is no shortage of dragon scales now.
Therefore, as soon as he enters the battle, he can directly pull out the Sword Saint from Dragon Eye!
As soon as Feng appeared, he saw Gu Jieshuang's stunning sword in the sky.
……good.
The will completely controls the body, exerting everything, but with ease... This friend of the summoner has already become a martial saint.
Feng's eyes couldn't help but fluctuate for a moment.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a love for talent.
However, now is not the time to think about this.
He naturally knew what the Summoner was calling him out for...just to go through the motions.
aside.
Yu Cang turned his head and looked at Zhong Qi: "Now, can you still find the permission to go out?"
"I'm still looking..." Zhong Qi said, "I don't know why, the princess didn't take back my spirit son. Logically speaking, she can do it... I'll try again!"
"...Okay, then you try it first." Yu Cang took a deep breath, "Feng, use [Dragon's Cry at Dawn]."
The Sword Saint nodded, his golden pupils wavering slightly.
He opened his mouth, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.
"——Ye Lai."
…
Gu Jieshuang turned around and used strength on the stone statue, wanting to rush out and continue fighting.
"It's useless." The princess still stood on 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. Unexpectedly, her figure that rushed towards the princess turned into a dive towards the ground.
At the same time, countless golden light points combined into flowing light, falling from the sky!
Gu Jieshuang raised her sword to block - she blocked it without any effort, but she suddenly felt that the temperature of the Bingxin Sword in her hand seemed to return to normal for an instant, as if all the abilities on it had disappeared.
"This..." Her expression 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 ability could not be used temporarily.
Gu Jieshuang did not panic when something unexpected happened. After all, the world in her eyes was incredibly slow at the moment. Even when she fell in the air, she could still concentrate on observing the situation on the field and thinking.
When she saw that the Sword Saint had called out Ye Lai's name, she felt a little relieved, and then she controlled her body unhurriedly, borrowing some strength from the giant statue on the side, and landed safely.
at this time.
——Click! !
A black and purple thunder shot through the entire venue, and everyone present suddenly changed color at the same time.
The hair on Zhong Qi's body stood up. Facing this thunder, he felt as if he was facing the whole world's attack. An illusion that his life was about to end shrouded his whole body. He even felt that the actual "death" was now close to him. On the surface of his skin, if he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss!
What the hell is this!
Just summoning is so exaggerated... Yu Cang, are you really a fifth-level soul card master?
Gu Jieshuang and Yu Cang's expressions also changed.
Because - this "malice of the world" did not come from the outside world.
The source of this thunder is in the eyes of the ruins colossus!
Yes, the malice of the world struck from the eyes of the colossus into the fusion vortex of the Sword Saint!
Not to mention the princess.
Although Yu Cang could no longer see the princess's face clearly, he knew that her expression was definitely more exaggerated than the others.
As for why he is so sure...
Because since the princess appeared, she has been standing on the palm of the giant statue's chest.
So... when the "malice of the world" shot towards the Sword Saint from the eyes of the colossus.
Just right——passed through the princess.
Now, the body of the princess's spirit son has been broken into pieces.
Thanks to Xiangnan Muyun and book friend 20220701210007899 for the reward!
Happy Chinese Valentine's Day everyone~
