Barrier of Light

Qin Ye focused all his attention on the bronze box.

During the few seconds that Gu Shen was thinking, his thoughts also briefly wandered for a long time... On a rainy night in Lion Lane ten years ago, his conversation with Lu Cheng lasted less than ten minutes.

In fact, as the [Apostle] of the Tower of Source, it was his first time to carry out a mission over such a long distance.

Mission objectives are tricky.

He is one of the most powerful, status and wealth men in the entire metropolis.

However, he does not live in a luxurious single-family villa, nor in a high-rise luxury building, nor even in a wealthy main city, but in a remote, uninhabited, dilapidated house with no deep sea connection. .

In Qin Ye's view, it was a place that had long been eliminated by the times and no one would want to live there.

Because of this... the deep sea couldn't be used. In the end, he didn't find what he wanted from the house. He could only return to Central Continent with a part of the lion awakening technology in Lu Cheng's mind, which barely fulfilled the mission of the Tower of Source.

But in the ten years that followed, he would often recall the exchanges between Lu Cheng and himself in his sleep.

The man who had almost no extraordinary abilities was not surprised or wary when he saw him. He just seemed to be meeting an "old friend".

"We will meet eventually."

These are Lu Cheng's original words.

A man who had predicted his future death had long been prepared for the arrival of the [Apostle] every day of his life, so when the day actually came, he was still calm and calm.

Not so much that I found Lu Cheng.

Rather...Lu Cheng is waiting for him here.

Communication in Lion Lane is very simple.

"I won't embarrass you. You can take my life anytime, anywhere."

Lu Cheng spoke a long monologue calmly, which was obviously his last words that he had prepared for a long time, "But I will not hand over the 'Lion Awakening Technology' to the federal government. If the [Apostle]'s purpose is really to benefit all mankind, In order to rebuild a new world of perfect order, I hope you will realize at some point in the future that mankind has gone down a completely wrong path."

This conversation ends here.

When Qin Ye invaded his spirit, it was already too late. This man had been prepared for a long time...to welcome his own death calmly. Rather than let the [Apostle] kill him, he chose to commit suicide. The spiritual ocean collapsed in an instant. Even if he used the token, he could only intercept a small part of the complete information remnants. It was through this spiritual information that the Tower of Source analyzed the core refining process of the lion awakening technology, and through the deep sea Through calculation and transformation, a preliminary method that can make ordinary people "awaken to the extraordinary" has been deduced.

In the next ten years, the scholars of Zhongzhou have gone all out, and Deep Sea has also invested a huge amount of computing power. The two have cooperated with each other to overcome difficulties layer by layer. It is only now that the "awakening technology" has been fully perfected... In fact, this is still It’s just a fake. The research results of Alan Turing and Lu Cheng are locked in a place that no one knows. The federal government’s research has now encountered a bottleneck. If they want to improve the level of technology, they can only continue to invest more computing power and wait. For a longer period of time, the fastest and most convenient way is to find the lost Lion Awakening research data.

But the moment the key is inserted into the box.

Qin Ye found that terrible thoughts appeared in his mind.

He actually recalled what Lu Cheng said ten years ago.

"Humanity has gone down a completely wrong path."

There was a moment of confusion and wavering in his heart.

The next moment, all thoughts were interrupted by the violent light of the sword.

…

…

In the underground secret passage, the gentle flowing breeze became sharp in an instant.

Countless wisps of fine wind strangled each other like knives.

That's the wind.

It’s even a knife!

Gu Shen's body blocked all Qin Ye's sight, and behind him... Madam supported her "sleeping" sister. The latter's body seemed limp, but in fact one hand had already been silently on the knife. above the sheath.

After picking up her sister and realizing the strangeness of the underground secret passage, the lady injected the antidote to the psycholytic agent.

And Lu Nanjin was very cooperative and silent after "waking up". She silently listened to all Qin Ye's conversations... and quietly waited for the right time to take action.

The wind flowing underground is her last signal.

Lu Nanjin could only believe that Gu Shen, who had seen his "Lanqie", should know what the change in the wind direction meant...

If you want to survive in front of the [Apostle], there is no other way.

There was a furious "buzz" sound from the sword.

Lu Nanjin dodged out and swept out from behind Gu Shen in a sliding kneeling position.

She grasped the long sword, stood up and instantly pulled out the long and short swords on both sides of her waist. Two silver waterfalls cut out of the narrow secret passage. The wind was like a tornado, and the mist filled the secret passage in an instant. The round underground stone walls in all directions dried up and shattered in an instant, as if a dragon's roar trembled from the ground!

Before she drew her sword, she was very close to Qin Ye.

After drawing the sword, the two long and short swords suddenly cut and crossed each other, forming a cross, which should have enveloped Qin Ye's entire body within the force of the swords.

That windbreaker that was swaying like ink was like ink, being chopped into pieces——

Nan Jin's pupils shrank, and she slashed dozens of knives in an instant, almost chopping up everything in front of her for ten meters in this underground secret passage, and even the air was chopped into pieces.

And the sword gang swept across and passed, hitting countless distances and reducing them layer by layer. After it was finally eliminated, the windbreaker swayed and recovered again.

He is like a ghost in the night, with no real entity at all.

Slashing with knives, slashing with swords...have no effect at all.

Qin Ye slowly came back to his senses from his trance.

He looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes gradually becoming gloomy... What an ironic scene. He had reminded Tie Wu earlier, but he had made almost the same mistake.

Why...why would my thoughts be confused at such a critical moment?

Qin Ye stretched out his palm and pressed it against Lu Nanjin's head.

An ominous premonition emerged.

He frowned.

There was no longer a sudden flash of sword light in the darkness, nor was there any more furious voice.

Lu Nanjin did not retreat but advanced. She held the apostle's palm and pulled out the third knife at her waist.

It is a pitch-black barrier sword. It is a very ancient sword. As the name suggests, it is used to shield the body to defend against the enemy. The entire sword is pitch-black and concealed, short and sharp. The moment the sword is drawn out, one needs to do everything possible to Get close to the enemy.

Real murderous intent is often silent.

The distance from which this knife was struck was closer than a stone's throw away.

The two almost collided!

Lu Nanjin's pupils shrank when she drew the knife. This time she understood the reason why she had left the knife empty... The space around her changed at the moment when she drew the knife. It was obvious that Qin Ye could be hit by only one centimeter away, but this time The centimeter keeps getting longer.

But...people all have their limits.

The speed of drawing the knife is fast enough, the distance between the two is close enough, and the strength of the person who draws the knife is strong enough.

Then this last layer of barriers can be broken.

The strong wind slowly dissipated as it reverberated throughout the underground secret passage.

The silent murderous intention also slowly dissipated.

Qin Ye still maintained the posture of extending his palm, and was only a little short of being able to press it on Lu Nanjin's head.

The momentum of that sword has been completely exhausted... From hiding to releasing, there is no sound at all, but it is an extremely amazing killing technique.

have to say.

This knife is terrifying.

If Lu Nanjin's realm was higher and his strength was stronger, then [Xumi] would not be able to extend the distance of this sword.

Maybe this knife will pierce his heart.

But now...it's a pity.

There was a small gap in Qin Ye's palm. You couldn't see it unless you looked carefully. It was actually a layer of white skin cut by the knife... not even blood flowed out.

This sword attack cannot be regarded as a real failure. From a physical perspective, Lu Nanjin's final slash finally touched Qin Ye's skin at the moment when his momentum was exhausted.

It just didn't cause any harm.

"……it's over."

Qin Ye looked at the three of them and said softly, "You will pay the price for your stupid behavior."

He was about to press his palm, and then his expression changed slightly.

A strange burning sensation suddenly ignited at the wound.

An open wound, even if it doesn't bleed, is still a wound...

A wisp of fire lit up in Qin Ye's palm.
