Chapter 1164: Pay with your life!
After saying so, the rooster’s body froze up and returned to being a statue.
An army of 1 million wraiths?
Gu Qing Shan recalled Demon Dragon’s words:
…
「 After absorbing my powers, you will have gained the power of three dragons, which should be equivalent to a real Wraith Might 」
「 But you should keep this well in mind: At the Wraith realm, just the Wraith Mights who have an army to command already number in the dozens. If any of them target you with their armies, you would only end up being dead in battle without any possibility of escape 」
…
Hmmm…
If that’s the case, it would really be troublesome…
Gu Qing Shan took the three coins out again.
To be frank, for him right now, travelling a day forward in time was essentially no issue, especially since he was not particularly busy with anything.
[Patrol] activate!
Gu Qing Shan felt his vision become blurred for a brief moment before he skipped ahead one day again.
Looking at the colorful rooster, he pulled its comb again.
The colorful rooster came to life for the third time, staring straight into Gu Qing Shan’s eyes.
The rooster: “…”
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
The rooster appeared a bit confused and muttered: “Why do I feel like something is wrong, clearly—–”
Gu Qing Shan transferred 100,000 Soul Points over.
The rooster immediately smiled and said: “Brother, ask me whatever you want”
Even while saying that, it couldn’t help itself from yawning loudly.
A line of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[Attention, this rooster had become exhausted]
[If you continue to awaken this chicken again and again, it might cause its mental state that is taking on the form of War God Information to become unstable, thus reporting inaccurate information]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
Just now, the rooster claimed that reporting information didn’t cause it any stress, but turns out that it was just showing off.
Alright, seems like this will be the last time.
Gu Qing Shan immediately ask: “Please give me one piece of information, anything related to me will do”
The rooster blinked with both eyes, then tiredly said: “Dead, all of them, dead”
Gu Qing Shan’s heart suddenly sank and immediately asked: “Who’s dead?”
The rooster replied: “The pixies, they’ve all been killed by that guy. It was because you travelled to the past and he couldn’t find you that he took his anger out on the pixies”
“They’ve set up a gigantic trap in every direction to await your return”
After saying so, the colorful rooster immediately turned back into a statue without saying anything else.
Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
—–the pixies are dead?
Within the 900 million World Layers, the strength of all living beings was being suppressed, a shackle set up by the Divine race since the Age of Old. After countless years of this, it had become exceptionally hard to change this fact.
So the 900 million World Layers were completely powerless against the Wraith realm.
——they weren’t in the same league.
But [Order] was a realistic hope that could help all living beings break through the shackles that limit their strength.
That was the reason why Gu Qing Shan had put all of his efforts into getting rid of the Soul Shrieker and reactivating [Worlds Apocalypse Online – Human Regiment], thus granting everyone the strength to save themselves.
But now, before this was done with, the miniature pixies had already been killed.
Pixies were a race of rowdy troublemakers, although they had many faults, they were naturally enthusiastic and treated everyone honestly, never owing anyone anything.
Including this time, they were merely contributing their efforts to help Gu Qing Shan triumph against [Chaos].
But.
They.
Were simply killed.
After a long pause, Gu Qing Shan drew the Earth sword and infused 2 million Soul Points into it.
In an instant, an intense gust of wind drifted around the blade of the Earth sword, causing the void itself to warp.
This was 2 million Soul Points!
“Adorable, look at me!”
Gu Qing Shan angrily shouted.
A short ‘xiu’ resounded from the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan swung his sword with all his might.
This was the first time he had unleashed all of his power ever since he obtained the power of three dragons!
Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow]!
Earth sword Thaumaturgy, [Earth’s Choice]!
Numerous black sword shadows bloomed like petals of a never-ending mandala, scattered into the void, intersecting and slashing everything in their paths!
Gu Qing Shan sheathed his sword and tossed the three coins out.
…
The 900 million World Layers.
The space vortex.
An army of 1 million wraiths had completely surrounded the void of space.
Cang Wu Zhang was now wearing a completely new suit of armor, like a star shining in the middle of the wraiths as he loudly gave his orders:
“Tighten your encirclement over there!”
“Since the Huang Quan Devil King travelled through time at this exact spot, he will naturally return here to find those pixies, keep your eyes peeled and stand ready!”
He suddenly turned around at Commander Yu who was standing not too far away and asked: “Arriving in so much hurry, are you here to split my contributions?”
The woman called Yu didn’t say anything, but the Wraith Generals below her were clearly displeased.
We brought a million troops here to help you, and you’re claiming that our master is here to split your contributions?
Yu shook her head, signalling her subordinates to stay silent.
She casually replied: “I’m here on the Wraith Lord’s orders to retrieve the twin swords Heaven and Earth, that does not conflict with your mission”
Cang Wu Zhang scoffed and mocked her: “Even after discarding your subordinate the Demon Dragon, you still couldn’t kill the Devil King. I didn’t think you still had the gall to come and leech off of me”
Just as Yu was about to say something, she abruptly shouted: “All troops, stand ready!”
Everyone turned their heads.
Black fog began to appear from the void of space that was being surrounded.
Followed by a man who stepped out from it.
The Devil King of Huang Quan, Gu Qing Shan.
“Restraints!” Cang Wu Zhang shouted.
The wraiths all acted immediately, unleashing blinding rays of light from every direction towards Gu Qing Shan and instantly restrained him.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and smirked.
“And here I thought you’d immediately kill me” he released his inner sight and spoke to the entire rank of the enemy.
Cang Wu Zhang cruelly declared: “Killing you is as easy as taking something from my bag. If I can’t make you endure despair and suffering, how could I ever resolve my grudge!”
“You merely lost a battle; did you really need to hold a grudge to this degree?” Gu Qing Shan continued asking through his inner sight.
Cang Wu Zhang stepped forward bit by bit, while still remaining behind numerous troops as he grinded his teeth: “I want to flay your flesh from your body bit by bit, then extract your soul and have it burn inside my lamp for thousands of years, listening to your cries of suffering day to day, only then would my mind be soothed”
Gu Qing Shan’s expression didn’t change and asked: “The pixies—– did you kill them?”
“Indeed” Cang Wu Zhang replied.
Gu Qing Shan acted confused: “They weren’t a match for you at all, what meaning was there for you to kill them?”
Cang Wu Zhang appeared to be deep in thought, then slowly replied: “I simply thought… doing that would cause you to feel irritated”
Gu Qing Shan casually replied: “And you succeeded”
Yu suddenly chimed in: “Where is Demon Dragon? Did you kill him?”
Gu Qing Shan nodded and replied through his inner sight: “That’s right”
“Where is his soul?” Yu wasn’t assured and questioned further.
Gu Qing Shan answered with an unsmiling smile: “Of course I——– let him go”
Yu knitted her brows tightly, stared intensely at Gu Qing Shan for a bit, then slowly retreated.
Demon Dragon.
The one-in-a-million-year genius of the Wraith realm.
If he had reincarnated within some unassuming world in the past, and the Wraith realm is unable to locate him…
With how much of a grudge Demon Dragon holds against the Wraith realm, there’s no telling what would happen.
After the three Wraith Lords learn of this, it will turn into another great turmoil.
This Huang Quan Devil King——
I must pry Demon Dragon’s location from him!
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had turned to face Cang Wu Zhang.
“You only had a grudge against me, but killed the pixie race that couldn’t even resist against you instead”
“Indeed, I wouldn’t be able to change that no matter what I do”
He kept releasing his inner sight and continued: “But when it comes to killing somebody, you need to consider clearly whether or not you can face the corresponding consequences”
“I’ve decided to kill you, then face your old man—— this was an advice from Demon Dragon, one that fits my preference——- then what about you, wraith Cang Wu Zhang, have you prepared yourself?”
Cang Wu Zhang doubtfully questioned: “Prepare for what?”
“To pay with your life” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Cang Wu Zhang looked around.
Numerous wraith soldiers akin to a mountain of men had surrounded and kept him under their watchful protection.
On the other side, Gu Qing Shan was being subdued by countless restraining techniques.
Among these techniques, not only were there unique ones that restrained the target in unique ways, but there were also several specifically dedicated to restraining the body and soul respectively.
Pay with my life?
Cang Wu Zhang loudly laughed: “You? Want me to pay with my life? I have a million troops under my command, and yet you can still run your mouth like that, bahahaha!”
The wraiths around him also laughed.
This guy had probably gone insane from being too scared.
Gu Qing Shan remained still and continued to speak through his inner sight: “Not only do I want you to pay with your life, I’m going to tell you something else as well”
Cang Wu Zhang couldn’t hold back his laughter and replied: “Ahahahaha, very well, tell me, go ahead and tell me”
Gu Qing Shan appeared to be trying to recall something, then released his inner sight again and spoke: “Whenever I fought against other people, I used to always use my identity as a sword cultivator without utilizing other means, because my sword is more than enough to resolve any issues”
“But for you alone, since you’ve killed so many pixies that didn’t even pose any danger to you, I no longer care about that”
“This time, I’m going to use the art of assassination to directly take your life”
“The above, was what my gongzi said word for word”
As soon as he finished.
A curt ‘xiu’ was heard——
Countless black sword shadows bloomed all around Cang Wu Zhang’s body.
The numerous wraiths soldiers.
All defensive techniques.
His defensive Guise Hex, life talisman, wraith seal, everything was slain.
Even the armor that Cang Wu Zhang was wearing couldn’t escape from being broken to pieces.
“NO! Everyone hurry, protect Cang Wu Zhang!” Yu exclaimed in shock.
The wraiths unleashed numerous spells and techniques, only to disappear as soon as they touched the black sword images.
Yu clenched her teeth, released a spear, and rushed forward at fast as she could.
In that blink of an eye, Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth to release something.
——-an unassuming butterfly.
The butterfly instantly vanished, exchanging places with the jade gourd pendant Adorable that was hiding next to Cang Wu Zhang and transformed into Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan reached forward.
The other ‘him’ who was being subdued within numerous layers of techniques transformed into an autumn-clear blue steel sword and vibrated.
[Law Breaker]!
[Invincible]!
All the wraith techniques, including Divine Skills, were broken without fail!
The sword flashed and appeared in Gu Qing Shan’s hand.
Clang!
With a swing of this sword, Gu Qing Shan parried Yu’s charging attack with her spear.
His other hand grabbed the Earth sword and stabbed it into Cang Wu Zhang’s chest.
“I said that I wanted you to pay with your life, and I’m going to make you pay with your life, that was no lie”
Gu Qing Shan casually stated.
