Chapter 497 The person in front of me is...
Here...time and space seem to be out of control.
He has always had an extraordinary perception of the passage of time. When he first arrived here, the sun was slowly setting in the western sky, but in the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, and it turned into a winter night with heavy snow.
The biting cold wind carried snowflakes flying wildly, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a layer of icy gauze.
Not only that, Qi Mo was horrified to find that his own strength had also fallen into the abyss, directly falling to the late upper realm of the second continent. He was only one step away from the Hunyuan realm, but it seemed that there was an insurmountable gap between them.
What on earth could have caused such a strange situation to happen? Qi Mo was somewhat puzzled, but he had no clue.
In the overwhelming snowstorm on the Arctic ice field, Qi Mo closed his eyes tightly, blocked out all external distractions, and concentrated on sensing his surroundings.
In a moment, he sensed a faint fluctuation of the power of law in the southwest direction. Although the fluctuation was weak, it attracted his attention like a magnet.
Subconsciously, Qi Mo opened his eyes, but what came into view was not the ice field of the second continent, but the Forgotten River on the edge of the first continent.
Before his eyes, there appeared a face that he would never forget in his life——
Zhang Shuo, the ninety-ninth seat of the Xipan Church! This man had once been arrogant and domineering on the First Continent, using the name of a divine beast to forcibly kidnap his study companion, Qi Ling.
Behind Zhang Shuo followed Green, the 89th seat of the Xipan Church, who also had a notorious record. It was this man who had beaten Shen Jiaan all over his body and locked him up in a small dark room!
Zhang Shuo and Ge Lin had never imagined that they would actually meet Qi Mo here. In an instant, fear surged into their hearts like a tide, and their faces turned as pale as paper.
Then, as if they had seen something terrifying on Qi Mo that was enough to make their hearts tremble, the two of them screamed "Ahhh——" in fear, and then, in a panic, they raised their feet and tried to run away.
They still had some conscience. At this time, they did not forget to pull the subordinates who were still confused beside them, turned around and randomly chose a direction to escape. They looked so miserable, like a dog that had lost its home.
Seeing this, Qi Mo couldn't help but grit his teeth. When these people were in the first continent, they relied on their little strength to act recklessly. Now that they have come to the second continent, they are only at the middle level of strength, but they still dare to be so arrogant.
They'd boasted before, claiming they'd bring me, Shen Jia'an, Su Mohui, and the others to the Second Continent for protection. That was ridiculous. Now... was the perfect time for revenge!
Qi Mo sneered coldly, a sharp golden light flashed in his eyes, and he locked onto the backs of several people through the heavy snow. He took a step without hesitation and chased in the direction they fled.
While running, Qi Mo quickly took out the detonator bomb that he had accumulated for a long time and had been carefully improved from his space ring. With a cold light flashing in his eyes, he smashed it hard at those people.
With a loud "boom", the explosive object exploded near several people. The powerful impact force created a gust of air mixed with ice, snow and dust, and the scene was in chaos.
At this moment, Qi Mo suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of the power of law. This power surged like a tidal wave.
The next second, a dark shadow whizzed past like lightning. It turned out to be a girl in a black robe and a hood. Behind the girl, a group of people dressed in platinum clothes followed. They had stern expressions and hurried steps, obviously chasing the girl.
The girl seemed to be desperately trying to escape, her figure looking extremely embarrassed in the wind and snow. Qi Mo glanced at the group of people chasing after him. Strangely, they seemed completely unaware of his presence...
But the aura emanating from the girl made Qi Mo feel inexplicably familiar, as if... she was someone he knew?
Qi Mo was full of doubts and while he was thinking, he had already thrown the last detonator in his hand.
However, at this moment, another wave of even more powerful law power swept in like a storm. That power seemed to completely cover the entire Arctic ice field. Everything between heaven and earth trembled under the oppression of this power.
The power of the law became stronger and stronger. The snowflakes flying in the sky suddenly solidified and hovered in the air, as if they were frozen by an invisible giant hand.
Qi Mo felt as if all the air around him was being sucked out, making breathing difficult. Tiny cracks began to appear on the ice beneath his feet, strangely spreading out in all directions with him as the center.
The black-robed girl stumbled suddenly in her frantic run, nearly falling. After stabilizing herself, she turned back to look at the platinum figure in pursuit, a flicker of despair in her eyes.
At this critical moment, the girl's panicked gaze suddenly met Qi Mo's. In an instant, Qi Mo felt as if struck by an electric current. Deep in the girl's clear yet frightened eyes, he caught a glimpse of a very familiar stubbornness and unwillingness.
This expression seemed familiar, as if he had seen it countless times in his own eyes or the eyes of his close friends in the past. It was a will to never bow down and to fight hard in the face of despair.
The person in front of me is Ji Shanru!
Qi Mo recognized the identity of the girl in front of him, but the scene in front of him suddenly stopped, and everything around him seemed to be paused.
Qi Mo felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything behind the scenes, as if waiting, or as if determining some crucial opportunity.
At the same time, Qi Mo discovered that he was as if under a spell and could not move.
He wanted to move even a little, but he felt that his body was imprisoned by a powerful force. He couldn't even blink his eyelids. He could only watch the world and everything in front of him.
As the girl's gaze gradually became blurred, the light of life slowly disappeared from her eyes. The entire Arctic ice field seemed to be swallowed by darkness and instantly fell into a dead blackness. The thick darkness enveloped everything, and there was no sunlight.
Qi Mo languished in the darkness, relying on his keen sense of time to silently estimate. About three or four minutes had passed, but to him, this time felt like centuries.
Finally, in his eyes, which were sore from being open for so long and with tears rolling down unconsciously, he saw... the entire Arctic ice field was once again filled with light.
High in the sky, the huge sun, like an aging giant, dragged its heavy and tired body and slowly tilted towards the west.
Its light is no longer as dazzling as that of daylight, but has been condensed into a soft afterglow with a bit of sadness and loneliness, as if bidding farewell to this world.
Every inch of movement seemed to carry endless attachment, dyeing the clouds in the sky into a gorgeous orange-red, like a richly colored oil painting.
As time went on, he saw...
