Six long legs were scattered about.
Their bodies were covered in a pitch-black carapace with rotting flesh inside.
Their mouths were filled with pus, forming the shape of a cross, their teeth were twisted and twisted.
— – and sharper.
These were the wraiths that were infected by the plague.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan crouched down in front of the corpse and carefully checked it again.
"Very good, the corpse was handled very professionally and cleanly, everything that came with it had been taken away, even some of the hidden runes on the body were gone"
Looking at the corpse, Gu Qing Shan appeared a bit pleased.
"Gongzi, what are the hidden runes you mentioned?" Shannu curiously asked.
"A protective technique"
Gu Qing Shan pointed at a certain part of the monster's body for Shannu to see.
Only to see that a layer of that part had been shaved off, revealing the muscles inside.
"I've already seen it during the battle, there used to be some runes here, most likely the wraiths' Life Talismans or something similar, but now they're gone" Gu Qing Shan said.
"They'd rather cut off their skin than let others see the runes, why is that?" Luo Bingli asked.
"To hide the wraiths' true strength" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He stood up and muttered: "No protective Life Talismans, no weapons, no armor, nothing at all. Such a clean corpse, no wonder they're willing to give it to me"
— — saying so, he drew the Heaven sword.
"You want to use [Chaotic Flow]?"
Luo Bingli's voice came from the Heaven sword.
"Yes, I'm sorry, but you might need to sleep for the next few days" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"— — before I sleep, I want to know what exactly you're planning" Luo Bingli asked with interest.
Gu Qing Shan cleared her throat and spoke with a serious expression: "The wraiths are extremely cautious, I've already known this back in Void City, they almost never allow anyone to enter their world"
"In this world where time has been reversed, they're just as cautious, they only gave the corpse to me after thoroughly cleaning it up — — and that's only because I've already learned their archery skills and will soon become one of their own"
"So this is our only chance."
"What opportunity?" Luo Bingli asked.
"I'm guessing that they have a special team in charge of the transfer of my soul, and this corpse is the person in charge of observing me. My basis is that Ramon Town is such a barren place. Other than a young man who is about to become a baron, there is no other reason for them to come here. Also, when I killed the giant wolf, a demon immediately appeared, which means that he was originally near me."
"Then is it possible that the person who wants to replace me is also in this operation team?"
"Why do you think that person is in the group?" Luo Bingli asked.
"Because he has to understand everything about Rhode and know Rhode's situation at all times. This way, after taking over Rhode's body, he won't be noticed by those who were familiar with Rhode before," Gu Qing Shan said.
Luo Bingli thought for a bit and couldn't help but ask: "That is indeed the case, so you're ready to act?"
Gu Qing Shan's expression was a bit cold as she muttered: "I'm used to doing things based on intelligence, but the wraiths are extremely cautious and don't reveal anything. I might be able to kill them, but it's very difficult to obtain intelligence from them, so I can only patiently wait for a chance to look for their weakness"
"— — you waited for this chance?"
Luo Bingli asked.
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "It's a rare chance"
Luo Bingli didn't say anything else. The Heaven sword let out a clear chime.
This meant that she was ready to activate [Chaotic Flow].
Gu Qing Shan immediately acted.
He took out the Chao Yin sword, Earth sword, and Six Paths Great Mountain sword and stabbed them into the plague monster's corpse, firmly pinning it to the ground. Then he took out a formation plate and arranged several restraining formations at once.
After everything was ready, he raised the Heaven sword — —
[Chaotic Flow] activated!
[Chaotic Flow: When the Heaven sword strikes an entity, you will be able to make that entity skip its current state until the moment of your choosing]
As the sword sliced through the air, the monster's gigantic body quickly shrank until it turned into a man.
The man slowly regained consciousness, opened his eyes, but only saw dirt.
All of his powers were restrained by several dozen formations, unable to be used or used to check his surroundings.
He abruptly screamed in pain: "Aaaargh!"
He was facing the ground, pinned in place by the three swords, unable to move at all while enduring intense pain.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had already taken out a black leather book, held the book in one hand while pressing the man's head with the other, and quickly chanted:
"The life and death of all things is but an instant, with my power of Condemnation, your suffering shall be alleviated — — –"
"Divine Word, cleanse"
Boom!
A gloomy glow manifested from the man's body before disappearing in an instant.
Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows twitched and shouted: "Shannu, [Law Breaker]!"
"Understood!"
As Shannu's voice resounded, the entire Six Paths Great Mountain sword gave off a faint sharp sword phantom.
Crack crack crack!
Layers of dim light appeared one after another, then quickly dimmed again.
A total of 7-8 rays of light were destroyed!
Gu Qing Shan put the black leather book away, wielded the slumbering Heaven sword, and stabbed the man's heart again and again.
The man's eyes opened wide.
"Who exactly are you …" he coughed up blood, his expression full of confusion.
— — you were the one who revived me, why did you want to kill me right away?
Who exactly are you?
Why won't you even let me see you?
Sensing the other party's life force fading away, Gu Qing Shan reached her hand out and placed it on top of the man's head.
[Soul Reading], activate!
Various scenes appeared one after another, filling Gu Qing Shan's Thought Sea.
This Wraith realm male cultivator's memories were all taken in by Gu Qing Shan.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
The male cultivator fell unconscious, slowly falling into a state of near death.
Even after [Soul Reading], Gu Qing Shan still didn't stop and shouted in a low voice: "Shannu, Chao Yin, protect my body!"
Two swords flew out from the corpse, one in front and one behind to protect him.
Gu Qing Shan sat down cross-legged and formed a hand seal with both hands.
— — Secret Art: [Sealed Body Yin Shift]!
— — Secret Art: [Soul Comes Soul Goes]!
These two techniques must be activated at the same time, no mistakes allowed.
Both of Gu Qing Shan's hands formed the seals at the same time, stopping right in front of the final hand seal.
His breathing stopped, his body temperature dropped, his spirit energy retracted into his Dantian, his heartbeat stopped.
At the same time, he couldn't help but open his eyes.
Gu Qing Shan's soul body slowly flew up from his body and hovered in the air.
"Kill"
He spat out a single word.
With a swing of the Earth sword, the wraith male cultivator's body was erased.
All that was left was a soul shadow.
While this soul shadow was still confused, Gu Qing Shan had already grabbed the Earth sword and slashed again with all her strength.
The soul shadow was instantly destroyed.
Gu Qing Shan was currently in his soul form, so he immediately noticed the remaining speck of light slowly disappearing into the void of space.
— — the final form of a soul is the speck of light, which will return to Primal Chaos!
Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist and shouted: "Come!"
A line of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[As you've received the blessings of the worlds of the past, as well as contributed the power of over a trillion souls to Primal Chaos, Primal Chaos has appeared before you]
Boundless illusory storms filled the surroundings, a golden waterfall descended from above and manifested around Gu Qing Shan's body.
Primal Chaos!
Gu Qing Shan didn't pay any attention to this majestic sight and instead narrowed his eyes to carefully search.
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan once again saw the speck of light from before!
He gripped the Earth sword tightly and quickly said: "Earth sword, don't hold back!"
「 Got it! 」 the Earth sword replied.
A cold gleam flashed.
[Earth's Choice]!
As the speck of light was struck, it scattered into specks of dust and thoroughly melted into Primal Chaos.
[Earth's Choice] was said to be able to eliminate all entities, but when a person dies, they turn into a soul, and when their soul is destroyed, they turn into specks of light. These were the three layers of the Laws of Primal Chaos, and even the Earth sword couldn't directly pierce through these three layers of Laws to completely erase a person.
That was why Gu Qing Shan turned into a soul and killed layer after layer, killing that person three times in a row before finally erasing all traces of his existence.
After doing all that, Gu Qing Shan finally calmed down.
He descended and returned to his body.
He opened his eyes.
Everything was normal.
"Gongzi, did you succeed?" Shannu asked in concern.
"Hm, this person was already corrupted by the Plague Apocalypse, but now that I've revived him and killed him three times, all traces of him have been erased, so there shouldn't be any issues" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He looked up at the sky.
It was now deep into the night, the darkest time of the day.
There was still some time before dawn.
"Let's go" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Where to?" Shannu asked.
"When I used Soul Reading just now, I've already found their base, so we're going to pay them a visit and meet the wraith that's about to take over my body" Gu Qing Shan casually said.
Several swords flew into his Thought Sea.
Gu Qing Shan's figure slowly became shorter and turned into an orange cat.
The orange cat recognized the direction and quickly headed into the wilderness.
Looking down from the sky, its figure was like a ghostly shadow, quickly disappearing into the boundless night.
