As the dark green flames struck Cang Wu Zhang's body, they immediately burst into flames.
"Aaaargh — —"
Cang Wu Zhang uttered a brief scream of pain.
Gu Qing Shan didn't stop there and swung her dragon claws.
Clang clang clang!
Sharp cuts appeared all over Cang Wu Zhang's armor. The armor was now riddled with holes, as if it would be destroyed at the very next second.
Cang Wu Zhang immediately regained his senses.
This was a moment of life and death!
Without hesitation, he clasped his hands together and formed a hand seal at the fastest speed he had ever formed in his life.
— — talisman technique, [Abomination Substitution]!
The blue glow, dragon flames, and wounds on Cang Wu Zhang's body all disappeared.
He had returned to his peak state and roared in a grudgeful voice:
「 Huang Quan Devil King, I'll remember you, I'll definitely bring an army next time, just you wait! 」
At the very next moment, a crack appeared in the void of space. Cang Wu Zhang fell into the void of flames and vanished without a trace.
"How is that possible?" Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
All of a sudden, a series of desperate screams resounded from afar.
The dozen wraiths that were fighting against the Forgetting River were now completely engulfed in dragon flames, burning intensely.
They had taken Cang Wu Zhang's place to endure Gu Qing Shan's attacks!
As the wraiths were burned by the dragon flames and swept away by the dragon claws, they didn't even manage to utter a single sound before vanishing from this world.
"Did he really run away?"
Gu Qing Shan released her immense inner sight to scan through the lazuli world.
She replied: "No need to look any further, he used a Wraith realm Death Substitution technique just now, so he's already returned to his original world"
Both of them felt a bit regretful.
The other party reacted too quickly, or rather, the other party's life-saving technique was too unexpected.
She thought for a bit, then continued: "This Death Substitution Talisman technique requires a unique curse to be infused into the talisman, then placed it inside the cultivator's Thought Sea and refined it into a Life Artifact, allowing it to be activated at any time"
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "Using someone else to die in their place, the Wraith realm's techniques have truly opened my eyes"
Immortal Craft, Mask Hex, Death Substitution Talisman — — - the Wraith realm's methods were truly endless.
Xie Dao Ling had already let go of this matter. She looked up at the black dragon in the sky and laughed: "Qing Shan, the speed at which you spoke just now was beyond my expectations"
Speaking of speed, Gu Qing Shan was a little embarrassed.
As the black fog scattered, he turned back into human form and landed next to Xie Dao Ling.
"Hah, that was one of the Azure Dragon's Thaumaturgies that I accidentally obtained — — Shifu, I also know that this curse is a bit embarrassing, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't use this method to fight" Gu Qing Shan explained.
Recalling what happened just now, Xie Dao Ling couldn't help but smirk and said: "Just look, the Wraith realm's Guise Hex is extremely powerful, not to mention that the wraiths can use the dead souls of Asuras and Phoenixes to perform powerful hex techniques. Even when escaping, they can use other people's lives to fuel their techniques, so they're extremely difficult to deal with"
"What are you trying to say, Shifu?"
"Qing Shan, when it comes to various abilities, you can't let your emotions affect your decisions. Against a powerful enemy, you must calmly choose the most suitable method to fight. If this curse is so useful, you don't need to specifically target it from now on, use it when you need to"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "This disciple has learned her lesson, this disciple will definitely train this skill more from now on"
Xie Dao Ling tried her best to keep a straight face and nodded: "Hm, that's right, this is the style of our Bai Hua sect"
— — -in truth, this lesson was very reasonable, not wrong at all.
A cultivator must consider all of their means and find the most reliable way to resolve a problem.
That Azure Dragon Shadow Hex was formless and unpredictable, making it impossible to defend against, so it could be considered an excellent support Hex in battle.
However …
Xie Dao Ling recalled how Gu Qing Shan turned into a dragon and tried her best to spit out those words, but still couldn't control her expression.
She suddenly blanked out for a bit and slowly said: "I remember now … the power of the dragon race mostly relies on [Dracotongue], and [Dracotongue] seems to be able to produce various effects that are very difficult to defend against, so you must be careful if you run into other dragons from now on"
Gu Qing Shan helplessly shrugged.
Careful?
If that's the case, the other dragons are also fighting the same way I did just now?
In other words, if I were to fight against a dragon, then — — -
Two dragons circling in the sky, fighting and rapping?
That scene … is too beautiful …
Gu Qing Shan silently swore that the next time I fight against a dragon, I'll use my trump card right from the start without giving them a chance to speak.
— — -this is the correct way to deal with dragons.
At this point, the two of them suddenly sensed something and looked up at the sky.
The mirror-wielding fairy maiden slowly turned faint and disappeared from the sky.
Xie Dao Ling waved her hand to call the mirror back.
"An item from the Heaven realm, who would've thought it would fall into the hands of the wraiths …" she muttered.
During this battle, Cang Wu Zhang only managed to escape with his body and returned to the Wraith realm.
All the wraiths were killed.
The Immortal Craft, [Thousand Mirror Ruler] was also destroyed.
The [Forgetting River] technique still fell in the end.
The lone skiff was drifting in the middle of the river, slowly approaching this place.
The graceful woman sat at the bow of the skiff, her figure shrouded in mist as she lightly sang:
"The road to Huang Quan, the river is long, even if you wish for three lifetimes, the Forgetting River will never return"
Xie Dao Ling's expression turned serious and clasped her fist towards the skiff: "Everything has been settled this time, I've made you come here for nothing, please forgive me"
The woman replied: "It's fine, it's better that I don't show up, it's better that I don't act than to act"
She suddenly turned to Gu Qing Shan and asked: "Huang Quan Devil King, what do you plan to do next?"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused, but also understood a bit, so she replied: "I need to face my Tribulation first, then kill a few people. If I have the chance later, I'll definitely think of a way to fight against the Wraith realm"
"Oh? Why is that? "the woman asked.
"I've seen a fragment of the Huang Quan world" Gu Qing Shan appeared nostalgic and said: "There were a few Daemons in that world that I had a good relationship with, but that world fragment was used by the Wraith realm as a prison to imprison those who opposed them — — not to mention, the Wraith realm had already invaded my place and repeatedly tried to harm the people around me, so I'll have to face them sooner or later to put an end to this"
The woman went silent for a bit, then asked: "You've seen the Wraith realm, then what about the Tomb of Myriad Beasts?"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head.
The woman asked again: "The Asura Era of Eternal War?"
Gu Qing Shan still shook her head.
The woman continued: "The Heavenly Palace?"
Gu Qing Shan could only continue to shake her head.
The woman looked at Xie Dao Ling, then at Gu Qing Shan.
"Two pitiful people" she sighed.
Gu Qing Shan thought of something.
Pitiful …
No, the tone, context, and meaning of this statement are completely different from the monster I saw at the giant corpse.
From the looks of it, the two of them weren't talking about the same thing.
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit dejected, but still asked: "You and I are both from Huang Quan, why are you speaking to me with such a pitiful tone?"
"Because I pity you, and also pity all the Deities of Huang Quan"
The woman continued with an extremely cold and solemn tone: "After the Samsara collapsed, the world of Huang Quan was in shambles, the power of the countless Deities were weakened to their lowest point. If they do not fuse with the Huang Quan fragment again, the Deities of Huang Quan would sooner or later become the slaves of others, just like what you've seen"
"And you, Huang Quan Devil King, you have yet to truly witness this world, as well as the coming era"
She lowered her voice to a slow and deep voice.
"Once you receive the recognition of that scepter, you will no longer be a mortal. You will enjoy the worship of the dead, but at the same time, you will also have to bear the responsibilities and obligations of the underworld"
"Devil King, your fate is intertwined with mine, but the current me cannot use a spell to appear by your side and help you overcome your difficulties"
"That is why you must think of a way to survive the Worlds Apocalypse, until the day the new era arrives"
"When that day comes, we shall meet again"
Gu Qing Shan sharply caught a single word and asked: "The new era? What do you mean by the new era? "
"The era of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy"
Saying so, the woman stood up and lightly rowed the oar.
A small boat drifted with the waves of the mighty river and soon disappeared without a trace.
The Forgetting River also slowly faded away, completely disappearing from the lazuli world's sky.
The only people left in this world were Gu Qing Shan and Xie Dao Ling.
Gu Qing Shan looked up at the void of space for a long time, feeling lost.
Indeed, the Forgetting River can only be used by women.
I can't use the [Forgetting River] level of power, nor can I summon this skeleton beauty to help me fight against enemies.
This was also the regret in the woman's words.
Perhaps there were other reasons as well, but Gu Qing Shan didn't know.
Xie Dao Ling glanced at Gu Qing Shan and cleared her throat: "There's nothing to regret about not being a woman, not all Divine Skills can only be performed by female cultivators"
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Xie Dao Ling changed the topic: "For us, the only regretful thing about this Tribulation is that the wraith managed to escape"
Gu Qing Shan followed up: "Actually, I should be thanking those wraiths, it was fortunate that they used an immortal technique to block this spell, otherwise Shifu would have to waste her vitality again"
Xie Dao Ling pursed her lips into a smile and said: "This battle has been going on for a long time, we need to speed up and finish this Tribulation as soon as possible"
The two of them looked around.
The Asuras and phoenixes were still frozen, unable to move at all.
"Shifu, do you still want to ride the phoenix?"
"Forget it, that phoenix's heart isn't willing, it's also uncomfortable to sit on it, let's go"
The two of them flew through the sky, heading deeper into the sky.
