"Who?!" The voice in his ears made Lao Pao's hair stand up and he broke into a cold sweat.

"Who?" Everyone around looked at the suddenly insane Lao Pao with puzzled faces.

At the next moment, everyone saw the dust and smoke in the distance dissipate, and Gu Xie stood there intact, with his hands behind his back, looking at everyone with a smile.

This scene sent shivers down everyone's spine.

Being hit head-on by a cannon of this caliber, yet...unscathed?!

But soon everyone discovered the problem.

The ground in front of Gu Xie was a mess, filled with gunpowder smoke and turned-up soil.

But within a radius of one meter centered on him, the ground was intact, so the bombed surface formed a semicircle in front of him, as if there was a transparent force field covering him.

Individual soldier protection stance?

impossible!

This level of artillery fire can penetrate the armor of a tank. How can it be blocked with a single soldier's protective force field?

The most protective stance for an individual soldier is to protect against cuts and bullets, but not against artillery shells!

So the only possibility is...spirit!

Does the ancient evil spirit have its own protective effect?

Doesn’t it mean that his spirit is the [Judge] and has the effect of judging?

Does the judgment effect also have a defensive function?

But now I don’t care so much. Since I didn’t die in one shot, I’ll just shoot a few more!

Lao Pao gritted his teeth and recharged the cannon on his shoulder. The spiritual energy poured in, forming a huge cannonball in the barrel. His legs were slightly bent, and a crosshair appeared in his goggles, which was already aimed at Gu Xie.

"Boom!" Fire burst out, and Lao Pao's whole body sank a little.

The cannonballs roared towards Gu Xie with extremely powerful kinetic energy.

However, Gu Xie still smiled and did not make any move.

The next second, the cannonball came in front of him, but it exploded one meter away from him, as if it hit an invisible wall.

The flames, smoke, and impact did not harm him at all. Instead, they automatically moved around. Against the backdrop of the flames and smoke, one could vaguely see an invisible shield surrounding him.

Seeing this, Lao Pao gritted his teeth and activated his psychic energy again.

Although the power of the artillery attack is great, it is also very expensive. When he is at full capacity, he can only fire four artillery pieces at most.

He has never encountered anyone who couldn't be killed with two frontal shots...

However, just when he was about to fire the third shot, he suddenly found that his psychic power... disappeared.

He blinked, but found that his location was not on the wasteland of the Great Wilderness Spiritual Realm, but... on a huge golden scale.

This...where is this?

He was a little panicked and wanted to escape from here, but found that he couldn't move at all.

There are white clouds all around, as if you are in the sky.

Looking ahead, I don't know when a golden throne has appeared, and sitting on the throne is Gu Xie!

He sat upright, looking dignified and elegant.

The narrow eyes shone with unknown meaning, making people shudder.

"The trial has begun." He grinned softly, causing Lao Pao to panic, but he was helpless.

"Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust."

"What percentage do you have?"

His voice echoed in this space, as if it carried some irresistible force, making Lao Pao uncontrollably open his mouth and explain his sins.

"I have killed twelve people, most of them were entrusted with the mission, and three of them were accidentally killed by mistake."

"I have raped three women and used money to silence them."

"I……"

He explained the crime he had committed, and even though he tried his best to shut up, he could not control his body.

When the sins were explained, Gu Xie had a piece of parchment in front of him, which was filled with the sins Lao Pao had committed, ranging from stealing other people's sweet potatoes when he was a child, to being entrusted by others to kill people on a mission.

There are hundreds of them, large and small!

Looking at the sins on the parchment, Gu Xie chuckled: "The sins are so serious."

Then he pointed his finger and said: "Killing must be punished with life. What's more, you have to take action against the judge today. You will not be able to escape the crime of living, and you will not be able to escape the crime of death."

"Lingchi, fried, torn raw, skinned alive...enjoy it, taste twelve kinds of torture, and then explode to death."

"The trial is over."

…

"Lao Pao? Lao Pao?" This group of people looked at Lao Pao with some fear in their eyes.

Just when Lao Pao was about to fire again, he suddenly froze in place. No matter how everyone called him, he didn't respond. He just widened his eyes and turned pale.

The next second, he let out a shrill scream, as if he had been tortured in a thousand ways.

But he still stood there motionless, but the screams continued, making everyone who heard the screams feel cold in their hearts.

The scream only lasted for twelve seconds. His eyes regained their vigor, but they were already covered with fear, and then he turned to look at the shoulder cannon on his shoulder.

He could feel his spirit constantly gathering into the shoulder cannon, unable to control it.

He screamed in terror, trying to disperse his spirit, but to no avail.

He even tried to pull the spirit off his shoulder with his hands, but as soon as his hand touched the shoulder cannon, the shells formed inside the shoulder cannon exploded.

The fire instantly engulfed him.

"boom!!!"

The people around him felt a violent impact, and with the burning heat and sticky feeling of the flames, they were rushed away.

When they opened their eyes, there was only smoke left where Lao Pao was, and countless human body fragments were scattered in all directions. Blood rain accompanied by the broken flesh fell on those people.

They stared at all this in confusion, wondering why Lao Pao suddenly... disappeared?

Exploded chamber?

He was killed by his own spirit?!

When they thought of this, the fear in their hearts became even greater.

They looked at Gu Xie in the distance, but saw Gu Xie still smiling, which made their hearts tremble even more.

However, they were also explorers who had experienced many spiritual adventures, so they quickly suppressed the fear in their hearts.

"Boss, what should I do?" asked an explorer.

A man who looked like a captain frowned, then smiled.

"Those overseas judges can only judge one target. Although the judge is in the [invincible] state during the judgment, he himself cannot move. This kid must be the same!"

"Come together, and set fire immediately after the trial is over!"

Immediately, everyone condensed their own spirits.

Five melee and six long-range, and all of them are very lethal spirits. They are obviously well prepared and formed deliberately. Otherwise, what kind of exploration team would have all members of the expedition team composed of lethal spirits?

They are either here to explore, or they are here to kill!

There are six long-range ones, three of which are super-powered, one can throw fireballs, one can throw wind blades, and one can condense ice cones.

The other three, one of which is a manifestation type, manifested two guns and fired continuously.

Two are transformation types, and one directly turns his hand into a cannon barrel to fire cannons.

The other spirit was that of a ranger archer. He quickly merged with his own spirit, and the bow and arrow in his hand continued to fire.

As for the other five melee ones, they surrounded them from left to right, preparing to carry out follow-up shots after long-range attacks.

However, before they could get closer, they saw Gu Xie's mouth moving, as if he said something.

The next second, his figure disappeared and reappeared behind the ranger archer.

"What?!" Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect it to be like this.

Aren't the judges themselves fragile, and they don't have the ability to move over long distances?

How could he...

"You seem to really think that my spirit is the [Judge]."

"Hehehe..."

He smiled happily, like a child who succeeded in his scheme, showing a "pure" smile.

Everyone's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and became cold.

"Act a play with me. Once you've done it, I'll give you a happy performance."

"[Word Spirit·Control]."
