463 The Last Resort
The last resort

Gu Xi’s hair stood on end, and a chill ran from her heel to the top of her head.

The blood-red spear’s speed had clearly exceeded his expectations. He could even vaguely feel the sharp aura from the tip of the spear causing his back to ache.

[Ding! The host’s life is in danger!]

[Activating self-defense function!]

Just as Gu Xi was in despair, the System’s voice brought him hope.

In the next moment, a mysterious fluctuation burst out from his body, and an unimaginable energy wrapped around him like a tidal wave, forming an invisible barrier.

Boom–

The blood-red spear immediately pierced his body, and a deafening roar reverberated through the world. Terrifying fluctuations spread out in a radius of several dozen miles in the blink of an eye, and all the spiritual energy in the world exploded at this moment.

“Hehe, he’s hit by Boss’s Blood Spear. This kid is definitely dead!”

Below, one of the two who had been watching from the sidelines could not help but laugh.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although their Boss’s cultivation realm was still a step away from the true Great Saint stage, with the ruthlessness of this spirit skill, even a true Great Saint had to retreat!

Using this spirit skill to deal with Gu Xi was a waste in their eyes, so once it hit, Gu Xi would definitely have no chance of survival!

In mid-air, the Boss looked a little tired, but his eyes were full of confidence, as if Gu Xi had already become a ghost.

He was very clear about the power of his spirit skill.

As the aftermath of the explosion gradually weakened, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth returned to its calm state. The three people present looked at the center of the explosion, eager to see the fall of this Proud Son of Heaven.

“It seems like you all really want to see me die here.”

However, what they heard next stunned the three of them.

Looking at the source of the sound, they saw Gu Xi in a green robe still floating in the air at the center of the explosion. Not only did he not look injured, but even his clothes were not wrinkled at all. It was as if he was not the one who was attacked by the Blood Spear.

“However, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you this time.”

He smiled and looked at the Boss, who was not far away. He clicked his tongue and said, “Your spirit skill is indeed powerful. If I’m not careful, I might really be cut down by you. Unfortunately, it’s still a little lacking.”

How is this possible?!

“What?” the Boss exclaimed in disbelief. He was no longer as relaxed as he was before. Instead, he looked as if he had seen something unbelievable.

It was indeed an unbelievable thing for a mid-stage Saint to survive an attack that could threaten even a Great Saint.

Even if he cracked his head, he could not guess how Gu Xi did it.

However, what he did not know was that under Gu Xi’s calm appearance, he was actually relieved and glad that he had survived the disaster.

If the System had not acted in time, he would have been pierced by the Blood Spear. The only outcome would have been death.

“You’ve given me such a big gift, I should return the favor.”

Gradually recovering from the joy of surviving a disaster, Gu Xi chuckled. His cold eyes made people feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar. With a wave of her big hand, a large area of the ground below began to shake violently.

The trembling ground soon cracked into a deep gully. A cold aura surged up from it. Even the Boss, who was in the Half-step Great Saint, could not help but tremble.

At this time, he squinted his eyes slightly and his expression was extremely serious. The aura of a peak Saint burst out without any reservation. A thick blood-colored spiritual energy surrounded his body and built an indestructible defense.

Although he still did not understand how Gu Xi managed to withstand the attack of the Blood Spear, the current situation forced him to return to reality.

Beneath the quaking ground, there were fluctuations that made him feel fear!

This was his first instinct, and his divine sense also confirmed this guess.

The trembling of the earth continued until a certain extent, when all the trembling suddenly became more intense, and the soil in the depths of the earth began to surge out. An even more intense trembling came, and pillars of fire continued to shoot up from the ground. Monstrous spiritual energy fluctuations descended on the surrounding area, and the temperature between heaven and earth instantly rose by nearly a hundred degrees. The three of them felt their mouths go dry, and even their clothes started to burn.

In just a few breaths, the area within a radius of more than ten miles seemed to have turned into another world. It was… Hell on Earth!

As far as the eye could see, all the flowers and trees in the surroundings were covered in flames. Hundreds of thick pillars of fire soared into the sky. Under the thick smoke, flames mixed with lava constantly gushed out from the ground, even converging into a slender river. The sudden increase in temperature made them feel extremely hot even when they breathed. It could be said to be a kind of torture.

“This is… A spirit array?” Looking at the doomsday-like scene in front of him, the Boss in a blood-red robe murmured in bewilderment.

Fortunately, he had reacted in time and had not been injured by the pillar of fire that had erupted from the ground. On the other hand, the other two people not far away were not so lucky. One of them was accidentally hit by the pillar of fire that had erupted from the ground and was burned into nothingness on the spot. The other person was luckier. He had only been touched by the pillar of fire a little, but at this time, one of his arms had been burned by the high temperature, and he was constantly wailing in pain.

“What do you think?”

Gu Xi smiled but did not answer.

The boss took a deep breath and looked around. At this time, he could no longer care about the life and death of the other two. Even he himself felt a little desperate.

Under the cover of his spiritual sense, he could feel that there was an unimaginably huge formation slowly operating in the depths of the ground under his feet. The size of the formation and the terrifying aura it emitted were something he had never seen before.

“This isn’t an earth-grade spirit array… This is… A heaven-grade spirit array?”

He suddenly looked up at Gu Xi, who was not far away, with a fierce look in his eyes.

“Enjoy it. I hope you can walk out of here alive. Compared to killing you with a spirit array, I’d rather kill you with my own hands.”

Gu Xi waved his hand, turned around, and flew away.
