Chapter 372 The Unexpected Situation Ends, the Standoff in the Spirit Realm

Before he finished speaking, a tall and imposing figure appeared.

However, its limbs were quite thick, and its head was almost half the width of its shoulders, making it look rather disproportionate.

His iconic appearance is so easily recognizable.

"Barnes?"

Xiao Yun exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with confusion: "What's going on? Didn't you say your remaining spiritual essence would soon be extinguished?"

"Haha, you know my friend, there are always unexpected things in this world."

Barnes blinked, his expression instantly turning serious.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and came to the intersection of the three realms.

"Hey!!!"

He let out a low growl, spread his arms, and pressed them onto Xiao Yun and Adam's territory.

The two people in the area, as well as Hermes and the others on the sidelines, stared wide-eyed at him in disbelief: "What is this guy going to do? Could it be—"

So, as if to confirm their guess, Barnes bulged the veins in his arms and exerted force suddenly.

"Open it!"

Rumble!

The flames of his soul flickered in his palm as he separated the two constricted domains as if cracking open a walnut.

"Holy crap—"

Xiao Yun's eyes widened instantly; he hadn't expected Barnes to be so fierce.

"This...this is really amazing?!"

King Sorenson II immediately swore, unable to maintain his composure in the face of this illogical scene.

Beside him, Cecilia was stunned, rubbing her eyes frantically, thinking she was dreaming.

Hermes remained silent, staring intently at Barnes, his eyes filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

Adam, however, seemed much better off.

"Dwarfs? No—this state—"

Adam looked at the newcomer with curiosity in his eyes, and let out a laugh that only he could hear: "So that's it—the Abyss—"

Realizing the source of Barnes's strange state, he withdrew his domain without hesitation.

"With the arrival of a legendary-ranked being with extremely high spiritual attainments, there is no need for this battle to continue."

He looked at everyone and spoke calmly.

King Sorenson II and Cecilia frowned and said, "But our plan is not—"

"Not what? The plan I received didn't include dealing with a true legendary-level opponent in full strength."

Adam snorted coldly, turned around and stepped onto the path where light converged. His figure slowly disappeared, leaving only the words: "If you want to send someone off, go ahead and send them off. Don't drag me into it."

"This guy!"

Sorenson II and Cecilia both showed anger, then looked at Hermes.

But they discovered that the old man's spiritual projection was also slowly dimming.

"Gentlemen, that's all for today."

After Hermes finished speaking, his figure completely disappeared.

Watching their teammates leave one by one, the two cursed angrily and gave Xiao Yun a deep look.

Xiao Yun was in extremely poor condition, but he was still alive.

So, it's uncertain whether they'll survive the next time they meet.

"Damn it, what a bunch of bastards!"

Cecilia was furious and powerless, but she had no choice but to accept the outcome and dispel the spiritual projection.

King Sorenson II sighed softly, bowed slightly to Xiao Yun, and then disappeared.

With all the enemies gone, Xiao Yun felt a sudden sense of relief and almost collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Barnes kindly caught him and used his soul fire to help him repair his shattered soul.

"To be able to damage your soul like this while holding my sword sheath, my friend, you are truly ruthless."

Barnes was amazed.

Xiao Yun chuckled and said irritably, "What can we do? Fighting five opponents across ranks, plus Adam who exceeded expectations, we would have been wiped out long ago if we hadn't fought desperately."

After he finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the air.

Xiao Yun hesitated for a moment before breaking the silence: "Barnes, tell me honestly, where is my brother Ji Mingyu?"

Even Adam could see it, so how could Xiao Yun, who was extremely familiar with the Chaos Abyss, not see it?

"Why did he send you here, but not come to see me himself?"

Xiao Yun's eyes were deep and unfathomable, but Barnes avoided his gaze and sighed softly, "The time is not right, my friend, and besides, he has other things to attend to."

As he spoke, he had already restored Xiao Yun's soul to almost complete.

"What remains are the scars left by life and death, which you will need to heal yourself slowly."

Barnes smiled and nodded, patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder, and his figure slowly disappeared into the background of the spirit world: "Goodbye, my friend. I hope we can have a meal and drinks together next time we meet."

"Um."

Xiao Yun responded, hesitated for a moment, and finally said to the figure that was about to disappear, "Please give my regards to Lao Ji and tell him not to be so stubborn when he's out there alone."

"Haha—good—"

Barnes' figure disappeared completely into the dark twilight of the spirit world.

Soon, he relayed this message to Ji Mingyu verbatim.

In the distorted black sun, a blurry figure chuckled and shook his head: "That guy, he's just putting on a brave face, yet he's lecturing me."

Barnes, hiding in the shadows, curled his lip, thinking to himself, "What if you two were brothers?"

Laughter rang out from the other side, speaking for him: "Ha, you two are just like that, you're even a bit more obsessive than A-Yun."

"Facing the two of you is really tough—"

To set up this plan, he not only spent a lot of money to invite two legendary spiritual projections, but also brought in Adam, this overrated guy.

He even came in person.

If Ji Mingyu hadn't blocked his way, he would have had a very good chance of killing Xiao Yun here today.

"What a pity, I guess I'll just have to keep racking my brains —"

Gu Shen shook his head, then raised his finger and pointed to the distant Throne of Blood and Fire behind Ji Mingyu.

"I'm saying, A-Yun's done and she's already gone home, why are you still stopping me here?"

The area around Su Muqing's throne was already filled with rune arrays, which also contained Xiao Yun's life and death power.

Even if he personally stirred up a spiritual storm, it could no longer affect Su Muqing's state.

"It's over, it's never over. Everyone go home and find their own mothers."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Everyone is busy, why waste time here?"

After saying that, he waved his hand, grabbed Hermes who was next to him, and prepared to leave.

"Did I let you leave?"

Ji Mingyu snorted coldly, and the corona of the distorted black sun poured out like a tide, blocking his way.

"Old Ji, are you never going to stop?"

Gu Shen roared, turned around, and looked at him coldly: "If you push me too far, I'll just self-destruct this clone, and we'll all be finished!"

"hehe----"

Ji Mingyu chuckled softly, looking at him with a half-smile.

Those eyes seemed to see through Gu Shen's skin and into his soul.

Deep within that soul, a longsword, burning with blood and fire, is stuck there. On the hilt of the sword is an eye, with crisscrossing runes that are always staring intently at Gu Shen's soul.

"If you can still create a clone in this state, I'll give you my true body and talent."

After Ji Mingyu finished speaking, Gu Shen remained silent for a while.

Then, the coldness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by his usual nonchalant smile: "Heh heh, I couldn't fool you after all."

Gu Shen sighed helplessly and gave up.

He put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, and lay down, sighing softly, "You people are such a nuisance, chaos, time—and A-Yun's life or death."

As he spoke, he suddenly spat angrily: "Damn it, how come everyone in your dorm is a freak? Why don't I have such good luck?"

"Hehe, because you are a newborn ray of dawn."

Ji Mingyu said calmly, then sat down cross-legged in the dark sun.

"Hey, are you serious? How long are we going to be stuck here like this?"

"Don't rush, it'll be quick."

Ji Mingyu turned his head and gazed at Su Muqing on the throne, his eyes flashing: "After the ceremony is over—"
