Bang!
A soldier accidentally fired his gun.
The bullet hit the ground below Garon's feet, creating a small hole in the moist soil of the courtyard.
Garon squeezed the eyeball in his hand. The source of telekinesis, the Eye of Ten Thousand Thoughts, seemed to have some sort of strange magical power, trying to break free from his hand. However, it was firmly grasped in his hand.
A Grandmaster of Combat's vitality was abnormally tenacious. Back then, there was an expert from the Celestial Circle Gate who had yet to become a Grandmaster of Combat. Even Garon himself had forgotten the name of that person. Even though he was heavily injured and on the verge of death, he was still able to struggle for a long time before he breathed his last. Now that Jessian's head had been split open and he was still able to move, Garon was not surprised at all.
However, this was nothing. What really surprised him was that the eyeball that had been dug out was still able to struggle on its own. This was a little strange.
With a slight thought, a wisp of cold blue air immediately covered the eyeball in his hand, freezing it into an ice bead.
He looked around and fixed his gaze on Xiao Ying who was in the middle. His expression was slightly startled.
"Ying Er …?"
"Do it!!" With a sudden roar, all the soldiers surrounding them pulled the trigger at the same time.
The sound of mortar explosions could be heard from afar.
In an instant, all the Lin Family soldiers launched an attack at the same time.
Countless bullets and artillery shells were fired towards the center of the courtyard, as if they were free.
Boom!!
There was a loud explosion in the middle of the courtyard. Everyone's ears were buzzing. The smoke from the gunpowder and the debris of the soil were flying everywhere. For a moment, they could not see anything clearly.
"Water."
A calm voice slowly sounded in the courtyard.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew from the center of the courtyard in all directions. It was a moist and cool breeze. It was silent, as if a breeze was brushing against one's face.
The Lin Family soldiers retreated far away and saw that the remaining Grandmasters of Combat had split into several groups. One group rushed forward to rescue Jessian's body and retreated, while the other group had already escaped more than ten meters away. Only a few people foolishly stayed where they were and confronted the Witch Lola.
The moment the breeze blew past, a strange scene appeared.
Whoosh!
At the same time, the sound of gunfire and cannons stopped in an instant. All the soldiers were surrounded by blue flames, and they were frozen in place. The flames did not burn their bodies, but they condensed into a layer of blue crystal ice that quickly covered everyone, forming dozens of blue ice sculptures.
Around the courtyard, dozens of soldiers, along with a few Grandmasters of Combat, ignited in blue flames in an instant, as if dozens of blue torches were erected on the walls and on the ground. The faint blue light from the flames illuminated a large area in blue.
Gulp.
Witch Laura's small face was deathly pale. She gulped and her skin was illuminated blue by the light of the fire. She looked around her and time seemed to stop for a moment.
Countless holes of various sizes formed by bullets and cannonballs were densely packed around Garon's feet. They were everywhere, but they did not hurt him at all.
Bang!!
In an instant, countless ice sculptures shattered like glass shards, scattering all over the ground.
The ice sculpture on the wall fell and hit the ground. The ice sculptures in the courtyard collapsed one by one, turning into blue ice shards mixed with blood-red ice shards.
Unlike the ordinary people, only the dozen or so Grandmasters of Combat survived. After the ice shards and blue flames on their bodies dissipated, most of their bodies were intact, but they were still lifeless.
In an instant, in the entire courtyard, only the officer in the yellow military uniform and the group of people from the Southern Sky Gate in the middle survived.
Puff.
The officer's legs trembled and he knelt on the ground. His face was pale and he could not speak, but his lips were trembling.
Garon looked away, bored.
"I'll leave him to you. The military power of this area is in your hands."
Nora, Yue Jian, and the other three stood in front of Xiao Ying, all of them looking nervous and serious.
"May I ask who you are?" Old man Yue Jian stood out and asked in a low voice.
Garon smiled and reached out his hand. The countless blue ice crystals around him melted quickly, turning into streams of blue water. They gathered in the middle of his palm and turned into a ball of burning blue flames.
"Whose disciple are you? Ying Er? Eight Arm Dragon King Yoda? Or Third Senior Brother Garcia? "He retracted his hand. The shocking action he made was not as shocking as the question he asked.
"You … How do you know Master Yoda?" The old man stuttered. His eyes flashed with excitement. He seemed to have guessed something.
Garon sensed it carefully, and suddenly laughed in surprise.
"You learned how to write from Celine and Su Lin?"
"Could it be … Could it be you!!?" The old man stepped forward, looking excited. Other than that person, there was no one else who knew these secrets!
"My name is Garon." Garon's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Xiao Ying. She really looked like … Ying Er.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no movement.
Other than gulping, the people from the Southern Sky Gate could not believe it. They could not accept it.
The legendary master of the White Cloud Gate. Other than portraits and photos, there was no news of him being alive. After 60 years of disappearance, after taking a nuclear bomb, everyone thought he was dead. Now that someone had suddenly appeared and claimed that he was Garen, no one could accept this fact for a while.
But other than Garon, who else could freeze dozens of soldiers in an instant? Dozens of Grandmasters of Combat were like babies in front of him, unable to resist at all.
There was no need for such an expert to lie to them.
"After my battle with Sylphan, some strange and troublesome things happened. In short, I didn't die by chance, but I couldn't come back until now." Garon missed the battle.
He suddenly looked at Xiao Ying in the crowd.
"Ying Er, are you dead?"
Xiao Ying bit her lips and lowered her head without answering.
Garon was silent. While he was pursuing endless power, he had unknowingly neglected the feelings and existence of the people around him. Time flew. Everything had changed. It was too late to change it.
*****
The Eastern Continent's Southern Sky Gate had appeared. The first Divine General Garon had appeared and killed fourteen top Grandmasters of Combat, including Jessian. The three provinces controlled by the Lin Family Army had fallen into the hands of the Southern Sky Gate.
This news was like a hurricane, quickly spreading through the entire Eastern Continent through radio. At the same time, many experts from the Stonecliff Continent, Pentastar Continent, and Azure Continent received the news. They were in disbelief and sent people to the Eastern Continent to verify the news. Some Grandmasters of Combat even went there personally.
The governments of the three superpowers were moving in the dark. On the surface, they did not do anything, but secretly sent many spies to the Eastern Continent with the people from the Immortal Palace and the Demon Gate.
The news of Young Divine Master Jessian's death was like an earthquake. It was not only the Immortal Palace that was shocked, but also the Weisman Empire, Celestial Circle Gate, and Crimson Sand Sword Gate.
The entire Combat World was in an uproar. The first to react was Celestial Circle Gate's strongest Sword King Andrela.
After Garon had consolidated the military forces of the three provinces, he kept gathering people from the White Cloud Gate and the Southern Sky Gate. Over the years, the Immortal Palace had spread the news that the Southern Sky Gate had become a sect where the Demon Warriors gathered. His appearance this time, the original first Divine General had been twisted into a Demon Divine General by this bad reputation.
After reuniting with Xiao Ying and the others, he waited quietly in the provincial capital, waiting for Andrela and Jessie's arrival. At the same time, he was also waiting for the Immortal Palace's Divine Master to attack.
*****
At the top of the black and red tower, the night wind whistled past.
Garon stood at the top of the tower, looking down at the night view of the entire provincial capital.
On the dark ground, countless pale yellow lights were like countless stars. Some were lit up, some were extinguished. It was like a long river of lights, but there was no flow at all.
Garon was half-lying at the top of the tilted tower. A black cloak with golden edges was wrapped around his body, flapping in the wind.
Xiao Ying was kneeling beside him, gently pouring wine into a small white porcelain cup for him. Since the day they reunited, Xiao Ying had finally been relieved of the heavy responsibility on her body. She seemed to have regained some of the lively nature of a girl her age.
When Garon saw her, it was like seeing Ying Er, and he took care of her. And the little one also hit it off with him. Although he looked too young, she could not put him in the role of an elder.
Thus, the strange relationship between the two of them as equals was settled.
"Gate Master, what are you thinking about? Or is it about Grandma? " Xiao Ying put down the wine pot and looked at Garon's side profile. The silver light reflected from the moonlight made him look like the Moon God.
"A lot of times when I see you, I think of her." Garon raised the wine cup and took a sip. There was an inexplicable feeling in his heart. "You two are too similar …"
"Really?" Xiao Ying smiled. "Xiao Ying has heard Grandma talk about Brother Gate Master before."
She smoothed her hair that was messed up by the wind and paused.
"It feels like a dream. In the blink of an eye, I found out that my brother has become an unimaginably strong person. Those were Grandma's words. "
"To be honest, maybe I am still selfish after all. I only care about becoming stronger, but I forget that the changes I bring to the people around me may not only be good. " Garon said softly as he twirled the wine cup in his hand. He looked at Xiao Ying with a guilty gaze. Maybe if Ying Er was just an ordinary person from the beginning to the end, she would be happier. Xiao Ying was so young, and it might be easier for her to carry the burden.
"Ying Er, Grandma doesn't blame you." Xiao Ying replied with a smile. "I don't blame you either. Everyone has the right to choose. Being ordinary or being in control of one's own life, I have to thank you for the change you brought to me in the beginning. You gave me the right to choose freely. "
"You are still so young …" Garon's gaze softened.
"There is an old saying in the East Continent, 'the one who is first is first,' regardless of age." Xiao Ying became serious.
For a moment, she hesitated.
"Xiao Ying, I have a question that I am very curious about. I don't know if you can … Although I know this question is very rude."
"Ask away, but I can't promise that I will answer." Garon blinked and said with a smile.
Xiao Ying hesitated and looked up at Garon's eyes.
"Gate Master, can you … live forever?"
