Light Fortress

Chapter 1776 - 418: Probability of Survival

The sky-reaching giant sword fell from the skytop, carrying an unrivaled divine power.

This strike shattered General Bai Xi’s origin shield, the sword tip cutting down from Bai Xi’s shoulder. According to Xiu Gu’s calculations... this strike would cut the target in half, and in the process, the bronze sword energy would consume all activity within Bai Xi’s cells.

Because General Bai Xi’s vitality is strong enough, there’s a widely known saying in the North Continent.

Bai Xi has a hundred lives.

But if cut in half under these circumstances, even if Bai Xi really had a hundred lives, it would be meaningless.

With the loss of cellular activity, he could not mend this wound.

Cut into two halves.

Then just die.

Only as the sword descended, the ancient scripts in the void also took form, with a massive portal enveloping the iron followers domain behind Xiu Gu, towering like a mountain.

The sword aura remained domineering and still strong.

Only this sword...

There was just a tiny bit left that hadn’t slashed down.

The portal opened and closed again, Wind Snow gradually dispersed, Bai Xi knelt on the ground, propping himself with his hands, struggling to breathe.

Deep Sea’s lips trembled, enduring the soul-piercing pain.

At this moment, his whole body was covered in blood... his intact body was split in two from the middle.

In the end, Xiu Gu’s sword was "transmitted" away, causing the complete sword brilliance to only strike down nine-tenths.

Thus, his body was also dismantled nine-tenths...

If the transmission had been a bit later, a bit slower, he would already be dead now.

There is no if.

With the "power of life origin" mastered by Bai Xi’s physical body, as long as he still had a breath present, he wouldn’t die like this. The only pity was that the rapidly reproducing cells were now crushed by the bronze sword energy... the strongest "activity" of this physical body was ground away by nine-tenths with that sword.

"Thud..."

Deep Sea no longer supported this body, he just fell to the ground, quietly listening to the heartbeat of the body, the shattered flesh slowly healing. At the usual rate of healing, such an injury would take only tens of seconds to recover, but now he needed at least half an hour, or even longer.

Even if the flesh knits back together, and he becomes a complete entity again, the damage to the cellular activity remains irreversible.

He needed a very long time to recuperate from this sword wound.

Wind Snow fell from all directions, the residual power of Xiu Gu’s sword slowly dispersed, the void was already shattered, and the land hit was full of scars; the temperature of the Old World was extremely cold.

Something was approaching from afar.

Deep Sea slowly lifted his head, his gaze as indifferent as ever.

He silently counted down in his heart, and when he reached zero, at the far end of the shattered void, appeared a damaged Black Silver Airship.

At the moment he looked at the airship.

His gaze changed, the previous indifference was swept away, leaving only pain and surprise.

...

...

"Gu Shen, how long until we can return to ’Chanyi City’?"

Bai Xiu forced himself into meditation, but he couldn’t help but frequently look back.

The airship had already distanced itself from the Calamity Barrier, but he was still worried about the safety of the Silver Fox General.

"We’re already halfway back."

Gu Shen was also anxious at heart.

It’s just that being anxious was meaningless.

Now the Black Silver Airship was smoothly sailing in the void, with the Thunder Realm Walker and the Fire Spirit taking turns boosting externally, this was already the fastest speed during travel in the Old World... so far the return journey seemed very smooth.

However, Gu Shen vaguely felt things weren’t that simple.

He had a doubt in his heart.

Logically, Generals Xiu Gu and Bai Xi should have already arrived at Chanyi City, or even have set out.

With the speed of those two generals, they shouldn’t yet have reached the Old World.

In his calculations, without fully returning to Chanyi City, the airship should have encountered the two generals!

Halfway through the return journey, and no sign of the generals... Did something happen in the North Continent?

Just as this thought emerged.

A strong sense of danger arose deep within.

"There’s an extremely powerful extraordinary aura remaining!"

Bai Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, appearing extremely serious.

The Fire Spirit and the Thunder Realm Walker appeared on the airship, both Gu Shen and Bai Xiu felt this strong extraordinary aura... it was the almost soul-piercing sword aura aftermath, already tearing the void and expanding in all directions.

"This sword aura, is it Xiu Gu’s origin power?"

Gu Shen almost immediately guessed the origin of the sword aura!

What could make him feel danger now was only origin-level power!

And among the Northern Continent Three Generals, only Xiu Gu’s weapon was a sword, and it carried such fierce murderous intent... even just encountering the sword aura aftermath from tens of miles away, the inside of the airship was rocking and violently shaking.

Judging from the aura’s sense, however.

This battle involving origin power seemed to be over.

If it were still in fierce battle.

The airship wouldn’t just be wobbling that simply!

"What happened up ahead?"

The airship cautiously sailed into the void zone ahead, Gu Shen and Bai Xiu silently watched this shattered void, with a large amount of source quality particles still pulsating, the remaining frost and snow drifting in the void, and a pale figure lying on the dark land in the distance, its blood flowing and pooling, almost forming a lake.

"General Bai Xi?!"

Bai Xiu couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

Although he had faintly guessed what had happened here earlier, actually seeing the person lying on the ground as Bai Xi, his mind still couldn’t stop from buzzing.
