Gu Qing Shan stopped.
Finally, the other party couldn't help but attack.
"Fellow Dao seeker, what do you want?"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the other party and asked.
The cultivator wielded his Blade and replied: "Just now, you said that you practiced swordsmanship — — how could swordsmanship be something that a normal person could achieve? Take out your sword. "
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Why would I draw my sword?"
"Because I suspect that you're just spouting nonsense, that you've never practiced any swordsmanship, that you're just being arrogant" the blade-wielding cultivator replied.
Gu Qing Shan then said: "That doesn't seem to have anything to do with you"
"I practice the path of the Blade, which is all about following one's heart. What you did a few days ago made me feel displeased, so I came here to see if you're just a swindler or a truly talented one" the cultivator replied.
What I did a few days ago?
What kind of things?
Su Qing didn't say anything about that.
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts quickly turned, then replied: "Following … your heart? So whoever displeases you will die? "
"No need to use flowery words, as long as we fight, I'll naturally be able to see through you — — come, let me see your sword" the cultivator said.
Gu Qing Shan clasped her hands behind her back and went silent.
What exactly is going on?
Although the other party was exuding killing intent, it was mostly anger and disdain.
Did Su Qing really do something unforgivable?
Gu Qing Shan immediately recalled what Su Qing told her before she left:
"This Su actually doesn't have any enemies, if someone tried to frame me, they only wanted to kick me out of the academy"
"That's why, if you get into a conflict with someone, there's no need to kill them, just teach them a lesson for me"
— — not kill them?
While thinking, Gu Qing Shan asked: "Which means, you want to fight me to the death?"
"Everyone here can be my witness, we'll fight to the death based on our own abilities" the cultivator replied.
He casually clapped his hand in the void of space, manifesting a full suit of armor that manifested into various components that covered his body.
The cultivator swung his Blade, full of fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan hesitated.
— — This is the world of cultivation, and I can't take out my swords. After all, with Su Qing's identity, I can't explain the origins of those four swords.
Whether it was Heaven and Earth, the Six Paths Great Mountain, or the Chao Yin Sword, they were all Divine Armaments.
Any one of them would cause a huge commotion.
Besides …
When Su Qing became ruthless, he would stab himself with a dagger, just to let others think that it was the elder who killed him.
But now he wouldn't let them kill.
Could it be that the other party was too powerful, so they were afraid that there would be endless retaliation after killing them?
That made sense. After all, Su Qing still had to continue cultivating in the Dao Academy. She couldn't keep getting herself into trouble.
But a few days ago, what did Su Qing do?
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a few moments, but the blade-wielding cultivator took it as a sign of fear.
The blade-wielding cultivator sneered. "What? You dare to talk big but don't dare to fight for real? "
This time, he was truly filled with killing intent.
Gu Qing Shan immediately sensed it and focused his gaze.
All of a sudden, the Dean's voice resounded in his mind:
"You can fight him, or you can concede, but you absolutely cannot take his life. Because his family is a heavenly being, if you kill him, you will bring great trouble upon yourself, and you will also be killed by a heavenly being"
"Not to mention, you were the one in the wrong in the first place, Su Qing, you better take care of yourself"
The one in the wrong!
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
As the Dean of the Dao Academy, his words naturally carry weight.
Seems like there's more to this than meets the eye.
No wonder even someone as ruthless as Su Qing wasn't willing to kill him.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan told the blade-wielding cultivator: "Let's just spar, there's no need to fight to the death"
"As everyone knows, a duel to the death is a shortcut to becoming stronger, are you afraid?" the blade-wielding cultivator coldly asked.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and shook her head: "You want to kill people because they don't go your way? That won't increase your strength, instead, as you kill more and more people, your killing intent will turn into a demon in your heart, slowly causing you to indulge in harming living beings until you die from the backlash"
The cultivator mocked: "Then tell me, what kind of duel to the death can increase my strength?"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at him.
Something seemed to have happened in the void of space.
Instantly, the blade-wielding cultivator felt the omen of death in his mind, then his entire body froze.
Pfft!
A mist of blood spread from his forehead.
A voice resounded from the other side:
"The Blade is a martyr for Dao, advancing forward with indomitable will — — killing people will not increase your strength, the only way to quickly increase your strength is to throw away your life and challenge cultivators stronger than you"
Gu Qing Shan casually explained.
Hearing that, the blade-wielding cultivator slowly looked down at his own body.
Following his gaze, the full body armor shattered with a loud bang and fell to the ground, scattering into a fine cloud of smoke.
The wind picked up.
The dust scattered.
— — [Forgetting River Slash]!
Gu Qing Shan had controlled this [Iris Sword] Divine Skill to weaken it several times over and unleash it so easily, resulting in such a result.
The blade-wielding cultivator looked at the numerous shallow sword marks on his body and sighed.
If the other party wanted to kill him, he would have already been cut into pieces.
He looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked: "[Iris Sword] Technique … no wonder I've never seen you practice it before, did you learn it when you were experiencing the mortal world?"
"I did" Gu Qing Shan admitted.
The blade-wielding cultivator asked: "Why didn't you kill me?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "After I kill you, someone will definitely come to avenge you, that would waste my cultivation time"
The blade-wielding cultivator went silent briefly, then asked: "You're afraid of wasting time?"
"That's right"
"So you're a Dao fanatic, now I know why you were able to experience the mortal world without losing your mind"
Saying so, the blade-wielding cultivator leapt off the platform and walked outside.
Standing on the platform, Gu Qing Shan called out to him: "Hey, can we just write it off?"
This sentence was a hook.
Regardless of what Su Qing did before, as soon as the other party heard Su Qing's words, he would definitely say something about what happened a few days ago.
That way, Gu Qing Shan would be able to obtain some information.
— — -not to mention, as long as our grudges are written off, Su Qing would be able to peacefully cultivate.
All I need to do is teach him the mysteries of the Star Force scriptures and I'll be able to repay his favor.
Killing two birds with one stone.
The cultivator stopped, then spoke without turning around: "If you're so strong, you shouldn't have been hiding it before and let others misunderstand you"
"Also, since you're still a virgin, that means that you didn't do anything inappropriate with my sister a few nights ago. Naturally, I won't bother you anymore."
The blade-wielding cultivator turned around, observing Gu Qing Shan: "Your talents can also be considered outstanding, I hope that you can cultivate well, only after you've ascended will you be qualified to officially date her instead of having a secret rendezvous"
Gu Qing Shan froze in place.
So that's what happened …
This man came down from the sky.
His younger sister is also a descendant of a heavenly being.
No wonder he was able to easily convince the Disciplinary Elder to specifically deal with Su Qing, swearing to kick Su Qing out of the academy!
— — -bastard Su Qing!
He was hesitating when he warned me, so it turns out he did such a good deed!
All of Gu Qing Shan's killing intent disappeared, she forced a smile and awkwardly replied: "I understand"
"You need to cultivate hard"
The cultivator nodded to her, then disappeared without a trace.
…
Noon.
Gu Qing Shan finally found some time to leave the academy while no one was paying attention.
He found Su Qing at a waterside pavilion in the city.
"That person is a descendant of a heavenly being family"
"That's the entire story, the Dean said that he hopes that you can cultivate well and achieve a good result in the sparring session of the seven academies in three days, he'll summon you again at that time"
Gu Qing Shan handed him a jade tag and continued:
"Your matter has been dealt with, I'll now teach you a few more Star Techniques, all of their secrets are in the jade tag, you need to learn them as soon as possible so that you don't get exposed"
"Also, don't mess with his younger sister for now, wait until after you've ascended"
Su Qing received the jade tag, closed her eyes, and read through it.
"So it's the [Rising Wind Soars to the Sky] technique … I've lived on the edge of life and death for so long, but I never thought I'd be able to do this"
Su Qing's expression was a bit complicated, her tone was a bit strange.
Gu Qing Shan frowned.
This Su Qing seems to be hiding a lot of things.
But he kept reminding me not to kill anyone, which proves that he knows what he's doing.
Gu Qing Shan then asked: "Fellow Daoist Su, I don't think your suicide was as simple as someone trying to frame you"
Su Qing didn't say anything, her expression uncertain.
— — -fine, this is his business, if he doesn't want to tell me, why should I pry into his secrets?
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan said: "Fellow Daoist Su, I still have something important to do, so I'll be leaving first, we'll meet again"
As he was about to leave, Su Qing grabbed his arm.
"Wait, fellow Daoist Gu, do you still remember what I said before?" Su Qing called out.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "You said a lot to me"
"I said, since you saved me today, I'll definitely repay you in the future" Su Qing said.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and quickly remembered.
When I was about to disguise as Su Qing and go to the academy, Su Qing told me this.
Gu Qing smiled and spoke with a gentle voice: "You've already given me that fragment, that's enough, there's no need to repay me with anything else"
Su Qing shook her head: "Fellow Daoist Gu, you actually came from a world outside of Kunlun, didn't you?"
Gu Qing Shan stopped smiling.
"How did you know?" he asked.
Su Qing revealed an unfathomable expression and spoke softly: "Don't worry, brother Gu, no one would be able to discover your true identity, but I do. This is because I have been dying for a very long time, and you suddenly saved me"
Gu Qing Shan looked at Su Qing and gestured for him to continue.
"Do you know why I studied the Early Death technique?" Su Qing asked.
"Why?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Because none of us can die, every other day, the same fate will repeat itself without exception"
"Brother Gu, take this, it will help you"
Su Qing gave another jade talisman to Gu Qing Shan and continued: "Since countless years ago, I've been committing suicide once every day, then as a wandering ghost, I've watched the events of Kunlun repeat themselves, all the way until noon of the next day"
He looked up at the sky, saying: "The time has come, everything will repeat itself once again, and my fate has been changed by you"
"I can finally die"
Saying so, Su Qing formed a hand seal.
The Early Death technique.
His body slumped to the ground, his soul suddenly flew into the sky, disappearing without a trace.
This time, he was truly dead.
Gu Qing Shan held the jade tag and stood still.
All of a sudden, the sky darkened.
Time began to reverse.
