Chapter 580: Chapter 580

The ruins of the Ice Sea were in complete chaos. Too many prisoners had turned into zombies, escalating into a massive riot. Even most of the candidates who were originally tasked with guarding them had mutated.

Old Master Si held his forehead, struggling to suppress the mental erosion. "Move! Head to the island!"

Xia Yu looked at the uncontrollable scene with a grim expression. She realized that her fragrance could no longer control the rampaging zombies, helplessly watching them slaughter wildly.

"Interesting. As Evolvers, we seem to be unaffected." Official source ıs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱

Si Wei'an sat atop a car, casually watching one of his candidates being surrounded by the crazed prisoners, finally torn apart in a bloody spectacle. He even licked his lips.

Then, he raised his hand, unleashing a terrifying Dark Shock that obliterated countless prisoners into dust.

Almost all the candidates who could resist mental invasion boarded vehicles, charging toward the island without hesitation. To them, the escape routes were already cut off; survival meant heading to the island. After all, everyone here was an experienced strategist, adept at saving their lives in critical moments—even at great risks.

It turned out that when countless individual wills united, the suppression from above became laughably insignificant.

Those who originally pointed guns at the prisoners were devoured and dismembered.

A few who could protect themselves chose to play it safe.

With a loud roar, several armored vehicles crashed directly toward the ruins of the island's palace.

At this moment, Gu Jianlin felt his scalp crawl.

Because he noticed that after he had dealt with one monster...

Almost all the monsters turned their heads toward him, letting out ravenous howls as if he were the most delectable meal in the world. The greed in their pallid pupils was practically overflowing.

Hundreds of monsters were swarming at him, packing together like the bustling crowds he'd experienced as a child attending festivals with his parents.

In this scenario, it was practically a Divine's playground, perfect for them to unleash their powers effortlessly.

But for the Ghost Slayer Path, it was far less ideal. Even with Virtualization, it couldn't defend against attacks from mental waves.

Of course, Gu Jianlin wasn't an ordinary Ghost Slayer. He flipped his wrist, gripping the blade's hilt tightly. The bright blade suddenly crackled with fiery sparks as countless black Thunder streaks entwined, erupting with piercing cries like the cacophony of a thousand birds!

He activated the Divine Speed Force domain, flickering in the snow like a ghost shadow. Accompanied by the sweeping slashes of his Thunder Blade, it felt as though black ink spilled across the snowstorm—dark electric light galloped, tearing through the surging monsters.

The sound of cracking bones, howls, and wailing.

He refrained from using Dimension Slash, as spirituality needed to be conserved for emergencies.

The All Heavens Divine Thunder was undoubtedly an extremely powerful Ancient Forbidden Curse, but he hadn't yet fully comprehended its intricacies. He couldn't unleash world-destroying bolts of lightning like the President, but he could achieve large-scale destruction.

Dimension Slash focused on instant kills, which were a bit wasteful against these monsters.

Better to detonate them with lightning flashes.

That was Tang Ling's kind of happiness!

"Quick, help that girl! She just warned us earlier!" Mr. Liu clutched his forehead, shouting.

Ning Chen was in a poor state as well, helping him desperately run toward the island.

The Butcher took a deep breath, clasped his hands at his waist, and yelled, "Turtle Style Qigong!"

The brute clearly was about to ascend to the Fifth Rank, as a single Qi Gong Cannon blasted countless monsters into oblivion.

The Scholar released a Spirit Shock to clear away the corpses, waving his hand and calling out, "Miss, this way!"

These two clearly didn't value their lives much.

Gu Jianlin thought these two were asking for trouble. Suddenly, he detected a sharp whistling sound from behind, seeing a hulking armored vehicle furiously charging toward them with the intent to crush them.

Driving it was a flamboyantly dressed white woman with a cruel sneer, treating them as less than human.

Gu Jianlin raised an eyebrow and abruptly teleported into the armored vehicle's passenger seat.

Time suddenly plunged into marsh-like silence. The rampaging armored vehicle came to an abrupt halt. The white woman driving it looked twisted and menacing, like a demon, her face warped with vicious laughter. The windshield was frozen solid, and the engine roared lowly, sounding like ghostly chuckles.

Crunch! The man in the passenger seat had his neck snapped and was tossed out the window.

The white woman didn't even realize what had happened before her neck was slit, blood gushing forth.

Gu Jianlin sat in the passenger seat, opening the left-side door and kicking her out.

Then, he slid into the driver's seat, gripping the steering wheel.

Alright, now the problem arose.

How was this thing supposed to be driven?

Old Gu had only taught him how to drive automatics, and he had never operated a heavy armored vehicle.

No matter, he pressed whatever seemed appropriate!

As if awakening the inner devil, he shouted:

"Woohoo, drift time!"

The frozen barrier of time shattered, and the armored vehicle indeed skidded away, rampaging wildly.

Gu Jianlin finally found the brakes, performed a dragon-tail maneuver to sweep out countless monsters, and started pressing random buttons to open the vehicle's rear compartment doors, coldly commanding, "What are you standing there for? Get in the car!"

Mr. Liu had never witnessed such a majestic act, laughing heartily, "This truly feels like looking at Miss Moon Princess! Brother, hurry up and get in the car, then thank the girl properly and protect her well!"

He scrambled onto the vehicle with turns and tumbles.

Though he said it, he was still amazed by this girl's combat prowess.

The vehicle housed two Fourth Rank candidates, both capable of resisting mental invasions.

Even if they weren't Evolvers, their combat power was formidable.

And yet, in just an instant, they had been killed!

After blowing up several monsters' heads, Ning Chen also boarded, casting a surprised glance at the girl.

Finally, the Butcher and Scholar leapt onto the roof, covering their surroundings.

To them, this wasn't surprising.

No matter how remarkable someone might be, they were still less impressive than their true boss!

Gu Jianlin started the engine, mistakenly thinking he was pressing the accelerator. Instead, the Alchemy Heavy Machine Gun on the roof popped out and began firing madly in all directions, as if it had lost its mind.

The Butcher and Scholar nearly had their heads blown off.

"Damn it! We're allies, stop firing!"

Mr. Liu laughed heartily, completely oblivious to the fact that Gu Jianlin had pressed the wrong button. "What an aggressive young lady!"

Ning Chen gave a thumbs-up.

But soon, their facial expressions changed.

Because Gu Jianlin's driving was making the armored vehicle shake wildly, behaving like a rampaging beast recklessly colliding with everything, drifting wildly on the icy surface—it was even less reliable than drunk driving.

At first, they thought the girl was simply violent, clearing out enemies.

A half minute later, they realized—she truly couldn't drive!

The communications channel buzzed with Old Master Si's stern voice, "All squads, proceed together toward the island ruins. If you spot Moon Princess, capture her at all costs! Prioritize seizing Lu Zijin, dead or alive! Once Lu Zijin is caught, Moon Princess will surely surrender! They're nearby!"

A Divination Master's predictions were usually very accurate.

Gu Jianlin's eyes grew colder as he noticed the monsters around him still relentlessly chasing him.

So, a sudden idea struck him. He picked up the microphone and said, "Protect Old Master Si!"

He finally found the correct accelerator, driving away madly.

Heading straight for Old Master Si's armored vehicle!

For some reason, a particular phrase surfaced in his memories.

"All troops, advance toward Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled car!"

When those armored vehicles saw his reckless charge, they all swerved aside to make way.

"Anna, are you crazy?"

"Next time you drive like that, I'm going to kick your ass with my heels! I swear I will."

"Wait, look behind Anna!"

The armored vehicle roared forward, followed closely by a horde of monsters.

"Anna, what are you doing?"

From the communications channel came the furious and alarmed voice of an elder.

Gu Jianlin pressed the accelerator to the floor, slamming into the rear of their vehicle!

Due to the slippery ice surface, both vehicles spun wildly, nearly losing control!

Gu Jianlin calculated his combat strength. He operated on a Dual Core, was a Fourth Rank Shura, and could enter an evolved state—or even use Ancient God Transformation.

But doing so would incur the wrath of the Kui Dragon Ancestor, causing his Shadow to dissolve and return to his body.

"Someone take over driving. I'm going out to kill that old bastard!"

As the vehicle spun wildly, he dropped the statement and suddenly teleported away.

Within moments, Gu Jianlin had landed above high altitude. Since he wasn't on the Divine Path, he lacked the powerful Life Perception ability. He could only rely on instinct to strike, aiming to take down someone first.

Among them were undoubtedly Evolvers, whose combat prowess couldn't be underestimated.

Then suddenly, he noticed a shadow rapidly descending toward the vehicle rooftop.

Gu Jianlin's Tang Blade trembled in his grasp, its black lightning roaring, reminiscent of dragon howls. His eerie blood-red eyes were illuminated by the lightning, brimming with chilling killing intent!

For a moment, the one who appeared sensed the overwhelmingly falling desire to kill. Without hesitation, they teleported mid-air, unleashing a massive black Tachi that tore through the snowstorm, roaring forth!

Clang! Blades collided, and fiery sparks scattered wildly.

Gu Jianlin finally saw the cat-face mask of his opponent, extinguishing the black lightning on his blade. But he didn't dare stop his strikes outright, fearing immediate decapitation.

As for Virtualization, that required prior preparation.

Moon Princess hadn't recognized him yet, her wary expression revealing itself. For experts, probing was barehandedly simple—this mysterious figure exuded an oppressive presence that alarmed her immensely.

Despite her unfamiliarity with blade combat, her movements defied common sense in their sharpness!

Because those dazzlingly beautiful eyes could even make her heart flutter.

Before Moon Princess could ponder further, she vanished into the air again.

Gu Jianlin quickly realized she mistook him for an enemy and shouted, "I'm on your side!"

The Moon Princess paid him no mind, flashing away like a shadow and aiming another slash!

This time, she even added Dimension Slash!

Gu Jianlin had no choice but to counter with his own Dimension Slash!

Another crisp sound rang out, and ripples appeared in the void without shattering!

Gu Jianlin's mask cracked due to the burst of sword energy. His black hair fluttered in the air, revealing a stunningly beautiful countenance with cold features still distinctly his own!

"It's me! Last month's class test—you placed third from the bottom!"

Backing half a step, he added again, "You scored only seven points in math!"

The Moon Princess' eyes widened in shock because these mundane truths from her hidden identity were known to him.

Looking closely at that face—it did seem somewhat familiar!

"This is Forbidden Shadow."

Gu Jianlin spoke flatly, "Lose it now and you'll never see it again."

The Moon Princess gasped, gazing at the youth's legs suspiciously. "Did you secretly train using the Sunflower Manual behind my back?"

Moments later, the massive island erupted with golden radiance.

Someone shouted, "A divine relic! A divine relic!"
