Free Web NovelChapter 1709: Chapter 1320: Tearing Open the Barrier, Escape to Survival! (Part 2)
"Alright!"
"Alright!"
Almost at the exact same moment, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu answered in unison.
If not for this Barrier having a suction force and constantly closing in, they wouldn’t have been trapped, unable to break free!
As long as they were given a single breath to catch, just the time of one breath, they would seize the chance, break this shackle, and regain freedom and new life!
"Get ready!"
Shi Wujue, lying prone atop the Stone Wall Barrier, gave a low shout. On that world-shocking face of his, a look of gathering force instantly appeared!
This time, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu did not answer him. The ten fingers of their interlocked hands, and their peerlessly proud faces, were all heavy with solemnity...
As for Duo Shu, in almost the same instant, his whole body went taut...
Under the gaze of the three, Shi Wujue slowly raised both arms...
As his arms lifted, the snow-like white hair scattered over his shoulders instantly fell loose...
And almost in the next instant, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s eyes widened in disbelief...
They saw Shi Wujue’s outstretched hands, ten slender fingers, taut and powerful...
And at the tips of those ten fingers, drop after drop of Blood Bead slowly welled out, and a clear, cold, lustrous white radiance gradually wrapped his hands within it...
That clear, icy, lustrous white radiance was like the Bright Moon spilling onto the earth. In an instant, it shone over the place where the Stone Wall Barrier lay, casting a hazy beauty, so beautiful it took one’s breath away...
"By my forebears, with my blood as sacrifice, open the Gate of Life once more..."
The low murmur seeped out from Shi Wujue’s tightly pressed lips. With that murmur, his Blood Bead–stained hands stretched straight toward the Stone Wall Barrier...
Zhou Mu, using up a lifetime’s Cultivation, had rammed into the Stone Wall Barrier in a do-or-die charge, only then causing this Barrier, which rippled like water’s Lianyi, to tremble for just an instant...
Yet Shi Wujue, merely by extending both hands like this, was like a stone dropped to stir a thousand layers of waves. The ripples on the Stone Wall Barrier instantly spread out ring after ring...
Those slender ten fingers, mottled with specks of blood, forcibly set the Barrier rippling. But at this very moment, Shi Wujue, leaning sideways against the Stone Wall Barrier, was already drenched in sweat, his face deathly pale...
As if his hands had been thrust into water, his slender fingers suddenly clenched. Shi Wujue’s whole body shuddered with it, and he couldn’t help but give a low roar, "Now!"
With that shout, Shi Wujue’s hands suddenly tore apart to either side, as though countless forces were tugging and hindering him. He kept exerting strength, kept rending, until that world-shocking face of his twisted with effort...
With Shi Wujue’s movement, Gu Changsheng clearly felt that the force pressing down on her, the Barrier that left her unable to muster even a sliver of strength, actually vanished...
It was as if the massive boulder weighing on her body disappeared in an instant with Shi Wujue’s shout. Gu Changsheng felt her whole body go light, all her Inner Strength instantly filling her body anew!
"Evildoer!"
With a low shout, Gu Changsheng moved at once!
Using every ounce of strength in her body, she dragged Zhou Mu, who had fallen into the Barrier, and sprang backward...
Duo Shu, however, moved even more nimbly. Just now he had only been slowing Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s descent, waiting for his master to open the Barrier. Now that his master had truly torn the Barrier open, he no longer had any use!
Thus, Duo Shu’s body almost in the very instant the Barrier was ripped apart, sprang off to the side...
"Thud!"
In the next instant, a heavy crash sounded where Duo Shu had been lying just moments before...
Dragged and yanked with all of Gu Changsheng’s strength, Zhou Mu, under the force of inertia, was slammed straight down onto the ground...
"Thud!"
Following right after, Gu Changsheng, tongue lolling out and wearing a look of having survived a calamity, went down in a heap beside Zhou Mu...
But it still wasn’t over...
The two who had just survived a narrow escape hadn’t even had time to catch their breath when yet another impact sounded...
"Thud!"
Shi Wujue’s figure fell from the Stone Wall Barrier...
Almost at the very instant Shi Wujue fell, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, who were lying on their backs, sprang their upper bodies up...
For no other reason than this: Shi Wujue had picked an excellent spot to land. His landing point, by sheer bad luck, happened to be right on their legs...
Collapsed across Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s legs, with the blood-stained White Silk still on his face, Shi Wujue raised a hand and wiped away the traces of fresh blood that Duo Shu had fed him. Through the White Silk, he met the gazes of the two. On that world-shocking face, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curve faintly...
Bracing themselves on their arms, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu exchanged a glance, then shifted their eyes to Shi Wujue lying on both their legs...
The three of them stared at one another, then burst into silent laughter...
The feeling of having escaped death in an instant made the three ragged figures let out a long breath of relief...
Duo Shu, standing respectfully to the side, saw the three like this and couldn’t help but knit his brows, looking anxiously toward his master...
In a situation like this, how was his master supposed to explain to Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu why he was here, and how he knew the location of the No Return Path’s Barrier?
Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu were both peerless among men. If there was the slightest misstep in his master’s response, his identity would probably be exposed!
His foot, almost imperceptibly, stepped forward. Duo Shu was on full alert, already prepared to grab his master and bolt at any time...
