The slab of meat that was still far away let out a scream of agony.
Red blood flowed from inside its body, soaking the horse cart red.
Soul vessel attack spells are a double-edged blade, because the target only needs to be able to resist for the spell to backfire on the user.
The slab of meat was hurt very badly, but it quickly reacted and moved the invisible waves to surround Ye Fei Li.
In the air, Ye Fei Li stopped his struggling and roared with hatred: “Die, Die, DIE! I WANT TO KILL YOU!”
His pair of bloodshot eyes stared straight at Gu Qing Shan, although it still looks pained, the killing intent gathering around Ye Fei Li began to thicken.
Using his inner sight to scan him, Gu Qing Shan immediately understood that Ye Fei Li was about to be completely controlled by the slab of meat.
In just a few breaths, Gu Qing Shan will have to face a 2-on-1 scenario.
Ye Fei Li has evolved to 6th stage, so the slab of meat must have also evolved as much as he did.
At that point, the situation will become so dangerous that even Gu Qing Shan would have no choice but to retreat first.
Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan’s body shifted, turning into a black shadow as he rushed forward.
Taking his sword in hand, he changed his title to [Talented General]
In a flash, a thick fog made of sword qi enveloped the Earth Sword.
Gu Qing Shan jumped up high, his sword pointed directly at the large slab of meat.
Secret Art, [Water Flow Severance]!
[Rampaging Sword Qi]!
In that moment, the heaven and earth became silent.
But there was no sound of exploding phantom swords.
All the phantom swords were concentrated into a single one, suppressed by Gu Qing Shan himself on the Earth Sword.
He descended on the large slab of meat.
As if it felt danger, it ignored the pain it was feeling from the spell backfiring and produced hundreds of meat spikes from its body to attack Gu Qing Shan.
Ting ting ting ting ting ting ting!
Despite how sharp the spikes were; they couldn’t even leave a scratch on the You Ji General armor set.
Gu Qing Shan had already ignored all defense, focusing on thrusting the Earth Sword directly at the meat.
All the suppressed sword phantoms erupted at once when it was released.
The shining sword phantoms combined to become a giant sword, stabbing at the slab of meat.
But it’s not over yet, as [Rampaging Sword Qi] also activated!
The fog on the Earth Sword formed into a second giant sword and pierced into the slab of meat.
Two strikes of Secret Art!
This was Gu Qing Shan’s strongest attack!
The ear-piercing screams the slab of meat raised was silenced as the second sword struck it.
Blood spurted from it like a broken dam, spewing everywhere.
Right in the center of the slab of meat, a thin line of blood appeared, then cleanly split in two as they fell off the horse cart on either side.
Gu Qing Shan sheathed his sword.
[Ting]!
The War God UI suddenly showed two notifications.
[Because you’ve won against a powerful enemy, the cooldown period for comprehending cultivation-type scriptures has been completed early]
[Starting at this moment, you can continue to use Soul Points to comprehend cultivation-type scriptures]
After reading the notification, Gu Qing Shan was a bit speechless.
On one hand, he was indeed thinking of pushing his cultivation to Foundation Establishment peak as soon as possible.
That way, the next time he enters the cultivation world, he can immediately begin to breakthrough to Golden Core realm.
But on the other hand, this trip was supposed to be for Ye Fei Li to evolve his ears. He didn’t think that Ye Fei Li would actually fall under that creature’s control, he couldn’t help but attack with all he had and fulfilled the rank up requirements early.
“I guess things don’t always go the way you plan” Gu Qing Shan shook his head and put the Earth Sword away.
A red figure landed.
Ye Fei Li was very embarrassed, saying: “Really, I didn’t expect its mental attack to be so strong, if I knew, I would’ve used everything to deal with it right away”
“That’s right, soul vessel attacks are the hardest to deal with” Gu Qing Shan said: “This is already the last monster that I’m worried about, as long as it’s dead, none of the other Man Killer Fiend can compete with you at all”
Saying so, he waved his hand.
The super-speed shuttle flew in from afar and slowly descended.
“Let’s go back, I’ll have Impartial Goddess look for the ones that are the most threatening for you to kill” Gu Qing Shan stepped onto the shuttle.
“It can’t be helped” Ye Fei Li looked at the large slab of meat and commented: “How regretful that you’re not a Man Killer Fiend”
“Hm?” Gu Qing Shan turned around to look at him.
Ye Fei Li pointed at the large slab of meat that’s now cut in two, speaking full of regret: “If you were a Man Killer Fiend, you surely would’ve evolved after killing such a special creature”
Gu Qing Shan only smiled and said nothing.
When Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li returned to the mountain mansion, Zhang Ying Hao swung his hand to order the hot food be served.
After the crew of over a dozen kitchen staff members have all left, Ye Fei Li finally took off his sunglasses.
After being busy for an entire day, the four of them were literally starving.
Zhang Ying Hao opened a bottle of aged wine and gestured to everyone.
Liao Xing pointed at the cup of ridiculously sweet milk tea in front of himself and waved his hand.
Ye Fei Li very carefully took the bottle from Zhang Ying Hao’s hand and asked: “How much is this wine worth?”
“About 80,000 Credits, but I really have to say, from a brother to a brother, you can’t just enjoy wine based on their price” Zhang Ying Hao complained.
“Wine that’s worth 80 Credits and wine that’s worth 80,000 Credits, which will you choose?” Ye Fei Li said, then gestured with his finger for him to put his glass out.
Zhang Ying Hao couldn’t say anything to that and begrudgingly put his glass forward.
Ye Fei Li poured for himself, then passed the bottle to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan took it, then directly drank the remaining half of the bottle down in one go.
“80,000 Credits, gone in a single gulp” Ye Fei Li sighed.
Liao Xing put down his milk tea and suggested to Gu Qing Shan: “If you’re feeling too much pressure, you need something sweet”
“It’s not really pressure; I just like to drink” Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Zhang Ying Hao took out a completely new bottle of wine from the icebox, opened it, poured for himself first before giving to Gu Qing Shan.
“Bottom’s up?” he asked.
“No, I’ll go slow this time, let’s eat”
Gu Qing Shan poured himself a glass then returned the bottle.
The four happily ate and chatted for a bit, the entire meal took around half an hour.
Since the ingredients used were all top quality, the chefs are first-rate and the wine are from Zhang Ying Hao’s personal stash, the four gladly ate their fill.
The fatigue and pressure they felt from a day’s work was relieved somewhat.
Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan’s Holo-Brain lit up.
[According to how much attention you pay to some individuals; I have some news for you sir] Impartial Goddess spoke.
“Tell me” Gu Qing Shan answered.
[The Holy Empire’s princess Anna, as well as Fuxi Empire’s Queen and King will be arriving together at the Confederate’s United Nations conference]
“Got it” Gu Qing Shan said without changing his expression.
“Princess?” Liao Xing looked at Ye Fei Li in confusion, but Ye Fei Li shook his head and looked at Zhang Ying Hao.
Zhang Ying Hao ignored the two curious people, stood up and said: “You guys rest for a bit, I’ll be going out for something”
“Murder?” Ye Fei Li asked without much thought.
“No, to command a murder” Zhang Ying Hao answered and left the room.
“Doesn’t that make him sound one step higher than me?” Ye Fei Li thought about it and muttered.
Gu Qing Shan was drinking soup, so he said without lifting his head: “I saw him buy quite a few things with his Holo-Brain”
Impartial Goddess chimed in: [Sir Zhang Ying Hao had bought 999 roses, delivery address is Capital University female dormitory, building 21, room 310. Recipient is Ms. Shen Yu; Shen Yu is the President’s daughter]
[Sir Zhang Ying Hao had put his shuttle on auto pilot, the GPS is routed towards Capital University]
[Report complete]
Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li exchanged looks.
Then the one drinking soup kept on drinking soup, while the one who was thinking kept thinking.
Liao Xing stood up and went towards one of the rooms.
“Where are you going?” Ye Fei Li asked.
“Brat, remember one thing, I’m different from the rest of you, I’m only a normal person”
Liao Xing turned around to look at him: “After a hard day’s work, a normal person needs some rest, they need a nap!”
Saying so, he closed the door to his room.
Not long after, a very faint sound was heard from his room.
The sound is actually very low, impossible for normal people to even notice, but to Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li, it was as clear as a loudspeaker.
What they heard was a female voice reading some lines from a script, followed by a soft moan, and more sounds of a certain “something” happening.
Ye Fei Li and Gu Qing Shan just stayed silent and listened to it for a while.
“He doesn’t really seem like the kind of normal person he spoke about” Ye Fei Li said.
“Well, at least he’s a normal man” Gu Qing Shan replied.
