Chapter 2071 - 87: God of Heaven_3

This is a "God of Heaven"!

In that instant, Gu Xiaoman’s heart, beyond her control, was seized by "despair".

"You are indeed very strong..."

At the corner of Meng Xizhou’s lips, a faint trace of blood overflowed.

She had already recovered from the shock of the "Alcohol Strike". Now she raised her hand, and with the back of her palm wiped away the fresh blood.

Under the shroud of the Light Fire, her wounds were mended with astonishing speed.

In two or three seconds, the blood was scorched dry.

"But these abilities may not be quite as almighty as you claim, no?"

Meng Xizhou lowered her brows and smiled, then suddenly spoke: "If your ’Infinite’ can truly block all powers under heaven, then why are you frozen upon your Throne?"

At those words.

The temperature within the Source Tower dropped sharply by several degrees.

Qinglong’s expression became subtly strange.

The traveller, Gu Xiaoman, and Bai Xiu... in truth, they had long since noticed that Qinglong had always remained seated while facing his foes.

Was it because his opponents were too weak, unworthy of his rising?

No.

The Throne upon which Qinglong sat had always been veiled in heavy mist, but under the recent scour of holy radiance, the fog dispersed, revealing a base congealed into solid ice!

His lower body was frozen together with the Throne!

In such a state, was it that he refused to rise, or that he could not...? In the hearts of everyone present, the answer was clear.

"Lin Lei and Bai Shu’s assault did, in the end, wound you."

Meng Xizhou’s voice was faint: "Furthermore, if I remember correctly, that recent ’Extinguishing Candle’ also drew your blood... Is it that you do not wish to employ ’Infinite’, or that you no longer have time to wield ’Infinite’?"

Qinglong fell silent.

"No ability in this world is flawless. Even the Divine Throne must possess its weakness."

Bai Xiu’s voice resounded from the Skytop above.

His words rolled with thunder, reverberating across the four corners of the Source Tower’s Divine Domain!

"The so‑called ’Infinite’, for it to block, there must be a prerequisite... it must lie within your own Spirit’s perception."

"In other words, ’Infinite’ cannot block an unknown harm."

Bai Xiu spoke expressionlessly: "So even as you battled Meng Xizhou, you kept your Divine Thought locked upon me. You could not foresee the ’impact point’ of Extinguishing Candle’s next arrow. Your ’Infinite’... cannot block the Extinguishing Candle Arrow."

Earlier, Meng Xizhou had poured down the entirety of the Light origin!

At such a critical moment, Qinglong had not turned back.

Because he had already seized upon Meng Xizhou’s strike... Infinite could intercept that attack, but Bai Xiu’s Extinguishing Candle Arrow was another matter entirely!

If his reaction had been even a heartbeat slower, Extinguishing Candle’s next shot would very likely have wounded him once again!

When Bai Xiu’s words fell.

The entire Divine Domain of the Source Tower sank into a brief silence.

"...Magnificent."

Long after.

Qinglong upon the Throne exhaled two words, his face touched with gratified approval.

Those two words made Bai Xiu knit his brows.

"In my life, there are few things I truly regret. Thinking carefully, there seem to be only two."

"Never crossing blades with Gu Changzhi is one."

"Never fighting again against the ’Master of Extinguishing Candle’ who defeated me in the past is the other."

Crack! Crack!

From beneath the Qinglong Throne, there suddenly came a clear sound of ice shards breaking.

That crisp fracture of ice changed the expressions of everyone present.

"Do you know why I have never killed you?"

Qinglong looked at Bai Xiu, his eyes filled with pity and compassion. "I wanted you to live, to grow until you were strong enough, and then loose that arrow at me once more... When that day arrived, I would be able to personally mend the regret of years past."
