Above all spirits

Chapter 57 Coming to See Someone Off

Gu Yun seemed to have thought of something, then glanced at Yu Wei, who was trembling behind a wooden pillar, and said calmly.

"I try not to cause too much damage."

Yu Wei naturally knew who he was talking to, and nodded to Gu Yun with a look of utter despair.

What could he do?

Could he possibly say no?

He's just an ordinary working man.

All they could do was silently pray that the adults in charge would arrive soon.

A crimson glimmer flashed in the air.

Gu Yun appeared in the second-floor corridor like a ghost.

In another flash, it silently approached Lin Zaicheng and Lin Ping.

The two men's expressions changed instantly.

Lin Ping, in particular, couldn't think of any movement technique that could achieve such a near-shrinking effect.

Of course, this is on the premise that the strength is equal.

Looking at Gu Yun, who seemed like a soul-reaping messenger, Lin Zaicheng involuntarily took a few steps back and muttered to himself.

"What the hell?"

Lin Ping reacted faster, blocking Lin Zaicheng's path. His veins bulged, and his domineering aura erupted instantly.

A pale red light emanated from its body and spread outwards and spun around its back.

The broken pottery and wooden pieces at their feet were instantly propelled outwards by the airflow.

It made a clanging sound.

Some of the smaller ones were even ground into powder.

He absolutely cannot let anything happen to Lin Zaicheng.

"The Banshee's Shield!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pale red airflow instantly flowed and condensed in the air with special patterns.

Finally, a semi-circular light red barrier formed in front of Lin Ping. The barrier was engraved with a huge totem that looked like a female human mask. At this moment, the face on the barrier was waiting with its eyes closed, full of endless majesty, as if it would not tolerate any intrusion.

Gu Yun rested his chin on his hand, carefully watching the barrier form and solidify, without launching an attack.

The result is the same anyway.

"interesting."

"Similar powers, when released in a specific way or by forming hand seals, can break through the limits that can be reached and obtain certain special effects."

However, almost no one in the Upper Realm develops techniques and cultivation methods related to innate energy or Dao-returning energy, which are formed by condensing pure physical strength.

Because in the face of power, the physical strength that comes with the increase of life status is simply not enough, and it is difficult to cause substantial damage to demons and gods of the same life status.

Because within a life level, the physical strength you can improve is limited, but breaking through this life level allows your physical strength to improve far beyond the upper limit of the previous stage.

For example, if a person's physical strength is 100 when they are in the Overlord stage without deliberately cultivating their physical body, and they use a certain technique to temper their physical body without increasing their life rank, then at most they can only increase their physical strength to 300.

However, once you break through to the Sacred Body, your physical strength will directly jump to 1000.

This change is more pronounced in the upper realm, so almost no gods or demons would deliberately spend a lot of time cultivating physical strength.

Even the magic and divine power that are fused with racial talent are only auxiliary enhancements to racial talent.

Oh no.

The Asura clan seems to fight solely based on physical strength.

How exactly did they do it?

However, when traveling in the lower realms, one will definitely need to learn how to utilize some physical strength.

Even though he could use his soul power to unleash his powers, he had almost no offensive powers.

If they were to actually head to the Elf Realm like this, the odds would likely be against them.

It's no wonder there are precedents of demons or gods being killed. Demons and gods cannot use their soul essence or generate soul power in the lower realm. Most of their powers are useless because using their powers means being sent back to the upper realm. They can basically only rely on pure innate energy.

Oh, to be precise, it's the aura of a sage; only someone with special characteristics can be considered to possess innate aura.

It's like a high-level blank monster.

Its advantage lies in its large quantity.

Gather your thoughts.

Golden light swirls and envelops everything.

There were no fancy moves.

Gu Yun kicked the pale red human-faced barrier.

Just as he was about to touch the barrier, the female face on the barrier suddenly opened her eyes, her eerie dark green pupils staring intently at Gu Yun, and instantly let out a strange and piercing scream.

"what----!"

She truly deserves the title of "female demon".

The entire Drunken Immortal Abode trembled in response, and dust kept falling from above.

The banshee's screams seemed to possess a magical power that could penetrate everything.

Even though the guests covered their ears tightly, it seemed that they could not reduce the disturbance of the screams in the slightest. Blood kept seeping from their seven orifices. An indescribable sense of panic arose from within, and they eventually fled the scene.

Some guests with weak willpower even fainted and collapsed, their fate uncertain.

Of course, Lin Zaicheng, who was within the protected area, would not be affected.

Lin Ping smiled slightly, a sense of confidence welling up within him as he watched Gu Yun slow down.

They believe that Gu Yun is not necessarily an invincible person.

While secretly admiring the extraordinary heritage and generosity of the royal family, they were also impressed.

The Banshee's Shield was a gift from me, as a retainer of the Second Prince.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a low-grade Overlord-level technique; its practical combat effectiveness is outstanding.

I have profited from it more than once.

The Banshee's Shield has two forms. The first is the closed-eye form, which can block ranged attacks and hidden weapons. The second is the open-eye form, which will open its eyes and emit a soul-suppressing scream whenever a creature approaches it with the intention of winning in close combat.

Once the scream is heard, it cannot be stopped within a certain range because it changes from being heard from the outside in to being heard from the inside out. It comes from the depths of everyone's memory and can continuously amplify the enemy's sense of fear.

Even if someone can suppress this negative feeling, their actual combat ability will be somewhat diminished.

Just as Lin Ping was about to speak to persuade Gu Yun to leave, his pupils immediately contracted, and the shadow in his eyes was rapidly enlarging.

"Crack——!"

The barrier made a crisp sound, like glass shattering.

"How...is this possible?!"

"boom----!"

Lin Ping was instantly sent flying backward like a cannonball.

It crashed through layers of wooden railings until it shattered the stone wall of Zuixianju, creating a large hole.

He eventually became embedded in the wall of the building opposite, unconscious.

Gu Yun picked at his ear and then pinched his shoulder, making a crisp cracking sound.

"What's more exciting than noise?"

"It's noisy."

Lin Zaicheng turned to look at his uncle's head, whose fate was unknown, and met Gu Yun's bloodshot eyes. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat, a chill covering his entire body. He was so stiff that he dared not move, as if shrouded in death.

"Who...who are you...?!"

Without further ado, Gu Yun grabbed Lin Zaicheng by the collar and lifted him up.

"My dear dad."

Without Lin Ping's support, Lin Zaicheng's limbs drooped, his eyes began to darken, and a sense of powerlessness combined with fear rushed straight to the top of his head.

However, after a powerful voice rang out, all of this was restored to its former vitality as if the body had been reborn.

"Release my son, or the Lin family will fight you to the death!"

Gu Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, coldly looking at Lin Zaicheng, whose eyes had regained their light, and said indifferently.

"That's good, there are still people to see you off in your final moments."
