The black flames howled as they flew away.
The vast expanse of land had become completely dry and scorched, displaying a deep greyish black color.
Gu Qing Shan lightly leapt up and looked into the distance.
There were no living beings within 300 miles.
All of a sudden, a person appeared on the ground.
Reneedol.
She looked at the scene in front of her and asked: "Rhode, did you just fight?"
"A group of fleeing martial artists and weapon users, they wanted to eat me, so I had no choice but to kill them" Gu Qing Shan landed and replied.
Reneedol glanced at Gu Qing Shan and asked: "How much of your strength did you use?"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, but she naturally displayed an expression of disdain and replied: "Only 10% — — these guys are quite impressive when the Laws are ineffective, but once we can use the power of Laws, martial artists and weapon users are no match for us"
"Of course" another male voice spoke up.
Atley also hurried over.
He continued Gu Qing Shan's words: "Our World Valley is the strongest, if the Law Behemoths hadn't met with some mishaps, no one would be able to show off in front of us"
— — what a great assist!
Gu Qing Shan silently praised.
However, this was also the truth.
The World Valley had always been the strongest.
Hearing their words, Reneedol couldn't help but nod with a hesitant expression.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at her, then suddenly said: "Reneedol, you suddenly appeared next to me just now, startling me. I thought you were an enemy and almost attacked you"
"It was a type of movement technique" Reneedol explained.
"How strange, I don't remember our World Valley having such a movement technique" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Atley laughed and said: "Obviously, Reneedol must've taken the enemy's ability again"
"Yes, it was that Red Wraith" Reneedol replied.
— — she had just absorbed a swordsman's ability, but the situation had changed and the swordsman wasn't particularly strong.
That swordsman hadn't formed a covenant with a Law Behemoth, so he didn't even know how to use World Origin.
Even if that person was the seventh-ranked swordsman in the world, if he did not know how to use the power of the laws, he would not be qualified to be called an expert.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her.
Was her hesitation because of this?
Gu Qing Shan smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Do you really think that swordsman Red Wraith can match the power of the Laws? "
"Of course not. I'm just guessing how strong the strongest swordsman in the world is," Reneedol said.
She looked into the distance, as if she was daydreaming about something.
Gu Qing Shan's heart gradually calmed down.
Reneedol must have looked down on the "Number Seven Under Heaven" swordsman.
At the same time, when she looked at each of Gu Qing Shan's abilities, she would subconsciously have a thought:
"This kind of ability can only be ranked seventh among all the swordsmen in the world."
But in Reneedol's eyes, there was only "the world's number one", only the strongest!
— — due to this prejudice, she naturally wouldn't try to understand and utilize those abilities.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "I believe that in the long run, Shroud will definitely become stronger than those swordsmen in the future"
Atley and Reneedol both nodded.
"Indeed, although I have Red Wraith's abilities, I've never liked swords or swordsmanship, so I couldn't win against him and could only run away" Reneedol replied.
Gu Qing Shan slowly said: "You need an ability that suits you"
"For example, your Law of Death, or Shroud's Law of Radiance" Reneedol replied.
Her gaze met with Gu Qing Shan's.
The two of them fell silent.
Gu Qing Shan saw a crimson thread of Death emerging from Reneedol's body, one end coiled around her hand, while the other end flew towards her and coiled around her hand.
Behind Reneedol's back, heavy and gloomy threads began to manifest, as if some sort of gigantic creature was wriggling inside.
This manifested power of Fate was something Gu Qing Shan could see, but Atley couldn't.
— — Reneedol had already decided to kill.
Now that Shroud was heavily wounded, he had no idea what was going to happen here.
With Reneedol's strength, it was easy for her to conceal everything.
The atmosphere abruptly changed.
Reneedol squinted her eyes.
She seemed to be preparing — —
"Ahahaha …"
Gu Qing Shan suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Reneedol asked.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head and continued to laugh.
— — if Reneedol could absorb everyone's power and use it for her own, why would she need to say such a thing?
Before, when Reneedol was kidnapped, she used those people's own power to defeat them.
"… I felt that killing them all at once would be too easy on them, so I used their Boss's power to kill his assistant, then used the assistant's power to kill the squad leader, then used the squad leader's power to kill the lackeys"
She openly said so at the time.
She had also used this playful method to kill the enemies.
— — then why wasn't this playful method 'using their Boss's power to kill everyone', but instead slowly weakening them?
Furthermore, she had already devoured the Grand Elder.
She had the Grand Elder's power, but hadn't used it yet.
Earlier, it was because of the chaotic battle between the Law Behemoths, but now that the Laws had returned to normal, she wanted to find the power of the Laws from Rhode and Shroud.
— — why didn't she continue to use the Grand Elder's Law power?
The answer was clear.
She could only absorb the power of a single entity at a time!
Gu Qing Shan suddenly understood and smiled: "You don't know what you have to do after forming a covenant with the Overlord of Death"
Reneedol paused.
— — that's right, I can obtain everything from the other party, including his covenant.
But since I obtained his covenant, I have to accept the rules of the covenant. After all, the power I obtained came from the Overlord of Death.
This was karma.
Karma was a part of fate, something that even she couldn't escape from.
"What did the Overlord of Death ask you to do?" Reneedol asked.
"I'm only interested in killing, that's why the Law of Death is so close to me" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Reneedol asked in surprise: "Your ability requires killing to activate?"
"Indeed, I must provide for Death, only then will Death grant me power" Gu Qing Shan replied.
As soon as he said so, a deep black flame flickered behind him.
— — Reneedol and Atley both turned to look.
The Laws had responded to Rhode's words.
This proved that Rhode was telling the truth, and the covenant he formed with the Laws was exactly what he said just now.
Reneedol's thoughts turned quickly, then shook her head.
She can obtain Rhode's power, but this power comes from the Laws — — -
She must kill as the price.
That's too limiting.
But …
Reneedol had a vague thought in her mind.
She couldn't see through this thought, but it made her a bit unwilling.
Finally, she looked at the pitch-black land far away and casually said: "We've seen the power of the Law of Death — — it's very shocking. Rhode, perhaps one day, you will surpass Shroud"
"I don't dare to compare myself to Shroud. He's the strongest, and he'll be the strongest in the future" Gu Qing Shan said matter-of-factly: "He's so talented, and he's even more hardworking than I am — — -
Reneedol slowly dispelled the thought in her mind, her killing intent also completely disappeared.
She turned around and headed back.
— — -towards a certain dream, goal, or desire, if a person doesn't even dare to think about it, or even actively gives up on it.
Then, they really can't do it.
Reneedol understood this.
Gu Qing Shan watched as the thread of death that connected her and Reneedol slowly broke.
"Let's go, since you're here, let's go hunting" he invited them.
"It's fine, I thought something happened, that's why I rushed here. Now that there's nothing else, I'll return to take care of Shroud"
After saying so, Reneedol's figure disappeared.
Atley shrugged: "Rhode, I'm going back as well, I need to work hard on my cultivation"
"Alright, do as you wish" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Atley flew away.
— — the two of them had left.
Gu Qing Shan stood still for a while.
Only when the wind blew did she notice that she was soaked in cold sweat.
When she looked at her hand, the colorful snake was still alive, but it was knocked unconscious.
"Tch … I was forced to this point"
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
That Fate-type ability of Reneedol's is truly terrifying.
My spirit sense can clearly sense that this Fate-type ability has nothing to do with strength.
As long as it appears, there's no way to resist it.
Gu Qing Shan felt that she's quite strong, but she also understood that Shroud's current ability to fight me to a standstill wasn't even his full strength.
In fact, he could have summoned the pixies and the Law Behemoths for help.
He had already displayed this when he saved Reneedol.
The power of a Law Behemoth cannot be underestimated.
The Grand Elder of the World Valley is definitely stronger than Shroud.
Against this Fate-type ability, even such a powerful Combatant couldn't do anything and could only become a substitute corpse.
Not to mention me?
Gu Qing Shan stood still.
The sky above the wilderness slowly darkened as dark clouds filled the sky.
The howling of the cold wind became more and more shrill.
The rain began to fall.
Gu Qing Shan paused for a few moments, only after she couldn't sense any inner sight spying on her did she muttered: "She's always needed 'Longing' …"
Now that I think about it, Reneedol has always wanted to obtain Fei Yue's Fate-type ability.
And now, she has obtained this ability from me.
But she still doesn't know about it.
— — -my soul has already been released, so the abilities I have are too complicated and trivial, so she probably hasn't seen this ability yet.
"… I can't let you find out about this ability …"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze became resolute.
If Reneedol had the power of 'Longing', she would be able to do anything she wanted.
She was currently only limited by her lack of understanding of the world, but in reality, no one could stop her Fate-type ability.
"Then … I'll have to force you to give up on my ability …"
Gu Qing Shan disappeared.
At the same time, another 'him' appeared and began to head towards the other end of the wilderness.
— — Shannu would disguise herself as him and continue to search for prey.
Gu Qing Shan put on the Samsara Wicked Mask over his face, concealing his presence as much as possible as he hid within the dark clouds in the sky as if he didn't exist at all.
He slowly and softly moved within the clouds, heading towards the tree.
— — the tree where everyone was resting.
Closer.
Even closer.
Reneedol was still crouching next to Shroud, carefully taking care of him.
She sincerely hoped that Shroud would survive, become stronger, and become the strongest.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the scene below and stopped.
A second later.
Reneedol looked down at her own arm.
A crimson thread was silently tied around her snow-white wrist.
"Huh?" she muttered in surprise.
At the same time, Gu Qing Shan formed a hand seal.
He charged downwards.
Reneedol unleashed a gigantic sword phantom without hesitation.
Gu Qing Shan evaded it in advance, then pointed two fingers at Shroud.
Two flying swords flew through the air, heading straight for Shroud!
"Red Wraith, don't you dare!"
Reneedol's expression changed and shouted.
