Light Fortress-Chapter 1421 - 183: The Red Dragon’s Meeting Gift (Part 3)
He drew out [Truth].
The Red Dragon spun out a blade.
"Clang—"
The silver-white ruler bloomed countless streams of light in the air, all the slender, long strands of light were deflected by the spinning red cloak. The speed at which the Red Dragon Envoy drew his blade was astonishingly fast, in an instant, a myriad of blade glows were shaken out, slicing apart all the attacks contained in Gu Shen’s [Truth]—
Moreover, the quality of his blade was extremely high, and it carried special attributes capable of cutting through rules!
Gu Shen reacted swiftly; he engaged with [Truth] while retreating quickly, the Pure Land Domain rose from the ground, with countless icy and snowy branches smashing towards the Red Dragon, but this could not change anything.
After the Red Dragon drew his blade, there was no halt at all. Even under the erosion of the Great Cold’s chill, he still forcefully drilled out a straight spiral trajectory!
Never had it been expected that the life-or-death crisis would descend so swiftly!
Gu Shen became incredibly calm; in the face of life and death, his heart felt numb, and he even sensed a faint joy...
At this moment, only one word remained in his mind:
Counterattack!
Counterattack, counterattack, only counterattack!
The Red Dragon had created this dire situation, leaving him with only this choice—retreat, and it would be a dead end!
At this moment, it was like when he killed the shadow in the West Cave Mansion.
Either, escape and await death.
Or, fight desperately to break through.
Gu Shen chose the latter... he tactically slid back a hundred feet, smashing the Pure Land entirely towards the Red Dragon, trying to exhaust the blade momentum of this Source Tower’s First Divine Envoy, then placed his hands down, grasping at his waist.
There lay the two short daggers he had taken from the West Cave.
All over the heavens, frost and snow fell upon the long forest.
The Red Dragon only swung a blade, but it smashed apart the rushing wind and snow entirely, then he saw two glimmers of silver behind the wind and snow.
Break the Source! Tear apart!
As a Spiritual Transcendent, Gu Shen did not retreat in the slightest; he chose close combat, seeking a chance for breakthrough, and daringly drew his blades to launch a counterattack!
The Red Dragon’s expression did not change.
At the moment he broke through the wind and snow, his body began vibrating at high frequency; reaching the pinnacle of the fourth tier as a Strong Attack Type Transcendent, one must have comprehended [Complete Flash] to Great Success.
In a top-tier transcendent showdown, the success rate of [Complete Flash] was no longer a hundred percent.
On one hand, it was up to luck.
And this confrontation, was purely "an overwhelming of power."
Gu Shen’s two blades missed, not due to bad luck, but because the Red Dragon had already seen through their trajectories—
Break the Source and Tear Apart were assassin’s daggers, the kind that should see blood once drawn.
Should they miss, it would be an ominous sign!
In Gu Shen’s original expectation, once these two blades were thrust, no matter what happens, they would disrupt the Red Dragon’s offense.
But unfortunately, the Red Dragon was stronger than expected, to put it precisely... perfect.
Every movement of this First Divine Envoy was flawless, leaving no flaw.
Perfectly seamless.
Dodging the surprise assault of the two short daggers with [Complete Flash], the Red Dragon’s short blade hammered out at this moment—
Yes.
It wasn’t a draw, but a bash.
He had shattered the storm using a long blade earlier, and now the short blade came down like a cudgel, thrusting heavily, as Gu Shen also attempted [Complete Flash], but his [Complete Flash] activated unsuccessfully, his body’s high-frequency vibrations were captured by the Red Dragon thus revealing his true trajectory.
"Puff!"
The Red Dragon grasped the short blade in reverse, bashing it out along with the sheath, akin to a bamboo stick, thrust through Gu Shen’s shoulder in an instant, puncturing through the mass of flesh and blood!
A mist of blood burst open above the deep forest.
Gu Shen was sent flying heavily!
...
