Chapter 80: The Jade Seal and the Astrolabe
Pursuers come from all directions.
From the moment Gu Xu's whereabouts were exposed, cultivators from the fifth realm and above in the entire Three Qin Land received an urgent summoning order, asking them to put down everything in their hands and arrest the fugitive according to the instructions of the imperial court.
Gu Xu had escaped from the chase many times before, which had made Princess Zhaoning no longer dare to have a contemptuous attitude towards him.
In her eyes, Gu Xu was like a slippery loach. Although it is not strong, it can always find a gap in the impermeable fishing net to drill out.
He can even find a fierce god-level female ghost to be his bodyguard.
So this time, she not only mobilized the power of a province, but also invited two saint powerhouses.
Such a battle, if it is seen by people who don't know, maybe they will think that the northwest barbarians have invaded on a large scale.
"Gu Xu, I will never let you run away again this time."
Princess Zhaoning stood on the floating flying boat and looked down at the earth, thinking so in her heart.
…………
The ice crane carried Gu Xu and the Snow Maiden to fly quickly among the clouds.
The cultivators of the Great Qi Imperial Court had already caught up from all directions.
Some of them chanted incantations, some manipulated flying swords, some used hidden weapons, and some threw talismans.
Dazzling True Yuan light flashed from Gu Xu's side, like a violent wind and rain, lightning and thunder.
For Gu Xu, it is not an easy thing to deal with such a large-scale attack, and the slightest mistake may lead to the death of Huangquan.
But today he is not alone.
As the Snow Maiden raised her arm slightly, the wind roared and the temperature plummeted within a radius of several miles, and then the goose feathers fell in heavy snow.
The flying swords, runic papers, hidden weapons, and even true energy of the pursuers were instantly frozen into ice, losing their lethality, and then shattering and merging into the snow.
At this time, the Snow Maiden, with her black hair flying and her clothes fluttering, scanned all living beings with indifferent eyes, like a king who was killed and killed in the ice and snow country.
However, Gu Xu noticed that the spells cast by the Snow Girl were mainly for self-preservation, and she did not kill the pursuers.
When her reason is not suppressed by instinct, killing is still a very psychological obstacle for her.
Otherwise, if she exerted all her strength, all these cultivators would be frozen into ice.
At the same time, despite having the powerful bodyguard Snow Girl by his side, Gu Xu still didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all.
He knew that these cultivators of the fifth and sixth realms around him were just appetizers.
The killing moves prepared for him by the imperial court must still be hidden behind.
"Here they are."
At this time, the Snow Girl suddenly said in a cold tone.
Gu Xu looked in the direction where her gaze was pointing.
Behind the hazy clouds, a floating flying boat with golden light was revealed—like a huge ancient beast, poking its head out after years of slumber.
Gu Xu's lips pursed into a line.
As soon as his mind moved, the astrolabe and the Thrilling Pen appeared in his two hands. Hundreds of sigils in the "Idle Cloud Residence" also appeared around him in an instant, like the aura of a planet, constructing a more complex and sophisticated touchdown.
Each sigil may not contain much energy.
But such an astonishing number of talismans and seals were stacked together, enough to cause the mountains to collapse and the tall buildings to overturn, and the monks of the higher realms had to retreat when they saw it.
In this life-threatening battle, Gu Xu had almost done his best.
In the midst of lightning, the attack of the saints has arrived.
Gu Xu suddenly found that his movements had become sluggish, as if he had an illness, and it was difficult for him to exert his strength up and down.
And the Snow Girl seems to be more severely affected.
Her body began to tremble violently.
The face that was as cold as ice withered also frowned and clenched his teeth.
Gu Xu could clearly feel her body temperature fluctuating hot and cold
, as if there were two invisible forces at war.
"This is the magic spell of Lingshan Temple," he said silently in his heart, "It seems that Master Jueming of Lingshan Temple has also come to help the imperial court arrest me this time."
Many of the methods of Lin Shan Temple may be mediocre for Terran monks, but they have extremely terrifying lethality against ghosts.
And it is different from the seriously injured Great Qi National Teacher.
Master Jueming, as a long-famous sage and powerhouse, has been cultivating in the temple in recent years, and his condition remains intact.
Not only is he proficient in a variety of Buddhist mantras, but he is also good at hand-to-hand combat.
The Zen staff in his hand had transformed into ghosts and smashed the heads of enemies.
In front of him, although the Snow Maiden is powerful, she has a single means of fighting and is restrained, so she has almost no chance of winning.
[In view of the general environment,
Gu Xu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Miss Lu, can I borrow your strength?"
"Lend me strength?" The Snow Girl was a little puzzled for a while.
However, she soon heard the "Divine Invitation Mantra" recited softly from Gu Xu's mouth, and she also sensed the request from him in the sea of consciousness.
She didn't think about it, she nodded.
Childe killed her enemy in the Lu Mansion and helped her get rid of her obsession.
He should also do a better job than she does.
So in an instant, the majestic power on the Snow Girl's body rushed into Gu Xu's meridians like a flood that broke the embankment.
This is the first time that Gu Xu has used the "Divine Invitation Mantra" to carry the power of a saint-level powerhouse.
The power of the Snow Maiden is like the melting snow of spring, exuding a biting chill.
The true yuan he had obtained through the cultivation of the "Red Flame True Technique" was originally like a hot and pure volcanic lava - but under the impact of the Snow Maiden's power, it became a faint candle flame swaying in the autumn wind, which could be extinguished at any time.
Gu Xu took a deep breath and tried to adapt to these surging forces.
Perhaps because of the large gap in strength, after lending her strength to Gu Xu, Xue Nu was not completely drained of Zhenyuan like Ma Qin and Chu Fengge, and lost her combat ability.
She was still manipulating the snowfall while battling Master Jueming's spell.
At the same time, Gu Xu also saw the few people standing on the bow of the floating flying boat clearly.
The Great Qi National Master was still the same as before, with a dark complexion and simple clothes, like an old farmer working in the fields. It's just that his expression is a little weaker than the last time they met.
Master Jueming was the first time he had seen it today, and it was not much different from what he imagined to be a high-ranking monk.
His gaze quickly swept over the two saints, and finally stopped at Princess Zhaoning, who was standing in the middle.
- On the jade seal in the princess's hand, to be exact.
He faintly felt that there was a line of sight passing through the jade seal and falling on his body, sharp, majestic, and indifferent, like a god above the nine heavens overlooking all living beings, which made him feel pressured.
The astrolabe in his hand seemed to be aware of this sight.
It suddenly began to tremble violently, becoming hot and flashing with light.
As if to express emotions of anger and hatred.
