Chapter 720: Chapter 205: Ghost Veil (9K Words Mega Chapter)_3

"Hiss!"

The greedy look in Zhou Xiao’s eyes, which was focused on Chu Ling, instantly turned into terror. Countless bright white lights exploded before him, turning his vision into a sheer whiteness. His first reaction was to control the threads in the air to start cutting—

Gu Shen extended his five fingers.

The light began to advance in the last car, burning intensely toward the final destination at an extremely "slow" speed. In about ten seconds, the threads in the entire car shattered, and the darkness was completely incinerated.

Lying on the ground, Yan Li felt a long-lost warmth. He opened his eyes, staring in astonishment at the "firelight" ignited before him.

There were never any blood clots scattered all over.

Three young prison staff members stood beside Gu Shen in the light, their expressions complex.

A shallow blood mark remained on Ling Wei’s cheek, proving that everything that had just happened in the car was "real." However, these blood marks emitted a faint "burning" sound upon contact with the light.

"Judgement Institute, Judgement Envoy, Gu Shen."

Gu Shen softly announced his name.

At that moment, the bewildered expression on Yan Li’s face turned to realization. He certainly knew this name. It had been a long time since the three institutes had seen an "S-class" prodigy. His father often mentioned this young man to him. Years ago, he almost managed to bring Gu Shen under the Qinghe District prison.

But later, he heard that Gu Shen went to Changye.

After that... there was no news.

S-class files received the highest level of protection from the [Deep Sea].

He couldn’t access them, and neither could the Judgment Chief of Qinghe District.

So... everything that just happened in the last car was only a dream, just two dreams. One was the "nightmare" of the Ghost Veil, and the other was the "Dream of Light" controlled by Gu Shen.

Yan Li stood in the light, his heart still racing. He touched the sealing object at his throat. The silver pendant was not truly broken; everything that happened was an illusion. But if his spirit collapsed, he would truly die.

Zhou Xiao wanted to kill him spiritually without needing to touch the sealing object that guarded his body.

He turned back and looked at Zhou Xiao, nailed to the seat by Chi Huo, suffering from the burning pain. His expression became very complex. Known as one of Da Teng City’s strongest Transcendents, Yan Li’s own strength was in the eighth layer of the deep water area. He never relaxed in his spiritual power cultivation.

Such strength couldn’t keep him awake in the nightmare of the Ghost Veil.

Yet Gu Shen could use his own dream to perfectly suppress the "Ghost Veil," calmly observing the changes and controlling the scene at any time... His spiritual power had likely reached the ninth layer of the deep water area.

If he remembered correctly.

Since Gu Shen awakened, he had only been practicing Extraordinary Cultivation for about two years?

He himself had been cultivating for more than ten years.

Yan Li felt somewhat emotional. So far, he hadn’t figured out which parts of what happened in the car were "real" and which were "false."

"Ah..."

"Damn! Damn it!!"

The painful roars echoed in the last car, but these sounds were all suppressed in the light. Gu Shen’s expression remained calm as he looked at Zhou Xiao, nailed to the seat by Chi Huo.

He walked over slowly.

Two small wisps of Chi Huo formed long nails, pinning Zhou Xiao’s hands. As for his spiritual domain, it was completely incinerated by the "Chi Huo," suppressed. Only a very faint, thin layer remained, gathered to the extreme, covering the area around his body.

The crimson Ghost Veil twisted in pain under the burning.

Gu Shen looked down and said, "Seeing you... what bad luck."

The pained expression on Zhou Xiao’s face froze slightly.

If he knew the young man before him was the "Netherworld King," he might have realized that the evaluation he received... was actually a compliment.

Standing silently in front of Zhou Xiao.

Gu Shen studied the twisted, burning "out-of-control" entity pinned by the Chi Huo.

The [Deep Sea] warning was entirely accurate. Zhou Xiao’s spirit had gone out of control... The interesting part was that the sealing object leading to this loss of control, the "Ghost Veil," wasn’t as described in the [Deep Sea] records.

The domain power just now.

And the actual combat power emitted by Zhou Xiao far exceeded the upper limit of a C-class sealing object.

This might be an A-class sealing object, and a top-tier one at that.

According to the records, Zhou Xiao himself was just a transcendent in the seventh layer of the deep water. After wearing the Ghost Veil, he directly used the "spiritual domain" to crush Yan Li, who was in the eighth layer... What is the actual function of this sealing object? Can it directly amplify domain power?

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

He slowly extended a hand, applying no additional protective measures, and placed it directly on Zhou Xiao’s face.

"?!"

Yan Li saw this and couldn’t help his eyelids from twitching... This was truly a "reckless act" from one highly skilled and courageous, touching such an unclean sealing object with bare hands?

If it were him handling this Ghost Veil, he would first decapitate Zhou Xiao.

Then wrap it in strong logic material.

With a "puff."

Unexpectedly, Gu Shen’s five fingers lightly pressed Zhou Xiao’s cheekbone, exerting a little force, and he easily removed the Ghost Veil like taking off a mask... However, the process looked somewhat eerie because Zhou Xiao’s face was left with only a layer of crimson veil, resembling him peeling off his skin.
