Chapter 56: 55. Azure Girl

55. Azure Girl

Li Ang turned his head, and his breathing stopped briefly.

Soon, he discovered that this stagnation was not caused by his own emotions and body, but that the whole world had fallen into a kind of silence.

The passing pedestrians, the birds flying over the eaves, the sewage splashed by someone on the side of the street, the airships flying over the city... their operating speeds had all dropped by dozens of times. If it weren't for seeing the water splashing on the ground slowly exploding, Li Ang would even have felt that time had completely stopped.

In this world that had almost stopped operating, in an extremely short instant that couldn't be specifically felt, a girl descended from the sky.

She had sky-blue long hair reaching her calves, eyes, eyebrows, and eyelashes of the same color, a thin light blue dress, bare feet, and no decorations on her body.

She seemed to be fluttering down from a higher and more distant sky, with the azure sky behind her, and she almost merged with it.

Li Ang felt that rather than saying she was fused with a part of the sky, it was better to say she was more like the embodiment of the entire sky.

Her appearance was blurred, and he couldn't see her specific face, but she was inexplicably somewhat familiar.

The Azure Girl reached out her hand to Li Ang.

"Be careful..."

Her ethereal voice sounded like it came from another world.

"Be careful of what?" Li Ang asked.

"Keep a low profile..."

The girl seemed to be conveying some kind of warning.

"Don't let them find you... don't be noticed..."

"Who are they?"

The girl floated from mid-air toward Li Ang. She hooked her fingers lightly, and a golden light floated out from his cloak, turning into an Earth Snake on the ground beside him.

The Holy Snake's huge head slowly leaned toward the girl. She stroked its lower jaw lightly and said softly: "Hello, I'm borrowing a gemstone from you."

The Earth Snake opened its mouth, and a transparent diamond rolled into the girl's palm.

The Azure Girl held the diamond with both hands. In her palm, azure light gushed out, transforming and shaping the diamond into a clear blue gemstone, just like taking a corner of the sky directly.

She handed the gemstone to Li Ang.

In this process, the gemstone continued to deform, extending into a warm azure ring, turning into a ring, and finally being worn on Li Ang's right index finger by the girl.

"Keep it well, pay attention to anomalies..."

The girl's azure eyes seemed to reflect Li Ang's figure, and then, her voice dissipated into countless echoes.

The stagnation of the world ended, the noisy human voices on the street returned to his ears, and the air was inhaled into his nasal cavity. The Earth Snake was still hiding in the cloak, as if it had never appeared.

Li Ang blinked. There was no one in front of him. The Azure Girl just now seemed to have existed in his eyes only for an instant.

He touched his index finger, and that light blue ring was indeed worn there.

【Sky Gu Lanzhi Ring】

【A gemstone ring whose color can almost merge with the sky, gifted by the Azure Girl, entangled with ancient fate, predicting the catastrophe of the present world】

Who is she? What kind of power is this?

Li Ang was surprised and inexplicable.

Time stopping, appearing and disappearing like a phantom, such things were unheard of.

Could she also talk to the Star Soul? Is it related to the main plot of "Newbis Fantasy"? Why did she come to me? Because I took Zoe away?

In these few days, the Star Soul matter alone was enough to make Li Ang update his cognition, and involving time...

He even hoped more that this was a dream of his own, but that ring existed really and truly at this moment.

He walked a few steps, and some panicked shouts interrupted his thinking about this matter.

"Fire! Count Finat's mansion is on fire!"

"What happened?"

"I don't know, I heard an explosion!"

Count's mansion?

Li Ang gave up the plan to enter the hidden location and ran toward that side with all his might.

He didn't think this was an accident.

Count Finat had been trying to persuade Lancelot to release his son Winders.

As an old man of the Order Flame Regiment, Lancelot shouldn't fall for any tricks. With his experience and strength, the Count shouldn't have the power and means to harm him.

Is this some foolish move, or—

Star Soul, Empire, Azure Girl...

In a few days, the surprise Li Ang felt might be more than when he conquered the forbidden land in the top-tier regiment. Maybe what appeared in the Count's mansion was some situation with completely unknown roots.

Gradually being able to see the Count's mansion estate, Li Ang also found that not every place was on fire; the disaster was mainly concentrated in the small courtyard where Winders was held.

Some people were running around to put out the fire. Li Ang stopped in the distance.

The ring he just obtained was getting hot.

The Sky Gu Lanzhi Ring was like breathing, the moist blue on the surface rising and falling, gradually transmitting a stronger heat, and finally it was so intense that it was almost like cutting with a knife.

Li Ang wanted to take it off, but at this moment, a tall figure blocked his front.

The appearance of this person shocked the onlookers and firefighters.

He was at least two meters forty-five tall, shrouded in black armor. This armor was full of blades and spikes. Although there was fire behind him, the surface of the armor didn't reflect a trace of light, as if all the light shot at it was swallowed.

He held a giant sword, almost as long as his burly height. Because he held it with one hand, the tip of the sword was currently cutting into the stone slab on the ground. The hilt was connected to a large handguard, which was wrapped in purple matter, and they were pulsating like breathing.

If these were just peculiar, then what was most oppressive was that the helmet he wore had no observation holes and was completely made of a single piece of black metal. Dark golden matter branded a huge eye that occupied the entire flat face of the helmet.

Spikes, breathing, and a single eye—these strange elements were superimposed together, and the black warrior in front of him was like a punisher from hell.

The moment he saw Li Ang, the black warrior shattered the stone slab under his feet and turned into a black lightning bolt, crashing directly toward him.

The Wind-Chaser Holy Bell swayed at his waist. Li Ang instantly drew a large amount of magic to construct a wind element shield that rose to Rank 7. The magic wind rotated to form a multiple air shield with faint thunder, immediately colliding with the giant sword that slashed with speed exceeding dynamic vision.

The attack arrived at the extreme. If it weren't for the warning of the Sky Gu Lanzhi Ring, Li Ang wouldn't have had time to react.

The pitch-black sword body exploded with countless black lightning bolts. The crackling sound and the thunder brought by the magic wind shield intertwined. The matter and energy of the Exalted Realm collided with each other. After reaching the limit, they burst open together. The flat ground thunder exploded in the sky, and the spreading shock wave shattered the surrounding stone slab ground, exploding a ring of fragmentation.

Onlookers fled in panic. Some were affected by the shock wave and couldn't stand up, only able to roll away from the center of the dispute.

One sword shattered a Rank 7 elemental shield?

Li Ang held the high-rank energy source, immediately added an elemental shield again, and performed elemental summoning.

A Rank 7 wind element creature generated in place. It carried thunder and whistling, moving extremely fast, and immediately collided with the black-armored warrior. Wild whirlwinds surrounded the surface of the armor, trying to find gaps to attack the inside.

The black warrior stomped on the ground, and black lightning exploded in all directions. The wind element creature was shaken away, temporarily leaving his surroundings.

At this time, Li Ang finished reading the information of this warrior.

Li Ang summoned a gust of wind and ran with the wind. ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
