The black flames swept across the ground.
The soldiers who were moaning on the ground were either unconscious or in extreme pain.
They couldn't defend against such an attack.
Wherever the black flames passed, the soldiers' flesh and blood would be burnt away, leaving only their skeletons. The skeletons would then be burnt to ashes, their souls and bodies would once again turn into drifting black fog.
For a few moments, the black fog left the corpses and flew into the sky.
They flew towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, allowing the black fog to come in from all directions and enter his body.
"Ah …"
Gu Qing Shan lightly scoffed.
Thousands of soldiers had formed a vast and overwhelming force, any normal person wouldn't be able to withstand it and would directly explode.
Waves of pain coursed through Gu Qing Shan's body, causing him to scowl.
— — but he was originally a Magic Dragon, having absorbed the power of an entire Azure Dragon, as well as the power of two dragons at the same time, this situation was nothing to him.
A few moments later.
All the black fog had been absorbed.
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes. A dragon made entirely of black fog manifested behind him.
A line of burning text appeared in front of him — — -
[Final soldier remaining, hiding 3,900 meters underground in the Southeast direction]
Gu Qing Shan muttered: "Hm"
The dragon behind him suddenly swooped down and landed on his body.
Following that, he turned into a several-hundred-meter-long dragon that shot to the sky.
The giant dragon with sharp black scales all over its body flew to the southeast and slammed into the ground.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The ground trembled.
A cluster of black fog rose from the ground and silently entered the black dragon's body.
"Hm …"
Dark Magic Dragon muttered in satisfaction.
The burning text appeared again, asking in confusion: "Why did you put so much effort into killing a single soldier?"
Dark Magic Dragon turned back into Gu Qing Shan.
He released his inner sight to scan the surroundings. Sure enough, there weren't any survivors.
"Because a dragon descendant grows very quickly, I don't want to wait until later to deal with this problem"
He explained.
Hei Huo asked, "Are you afraid that he will kill you after he grows up?"
"No, when a normal human turns into a dragon, the sudden increase in power will cause a psychological imbalance. No one knows what he will do — I can only be at ease if this power is in my hands."
Gu Qing Shan said.
In the past, the Magic Dragon could have used the power of bloodline to endlessly absorb power from the bodies and souls of living beings, but ever since its birth, it had always been under the control of the Bygone Era humans.
Furthermore, its soul belonged to the Wraith realm, so it had always been under the control of the Wraith realm, constantly suppressed by the higher-ups of the Wraith realm, not allowing it to grow too much, so it died in the end.
If not for this double suppression, no one knew how many lives the Magic Dragon would have devoured and how powerful he would have become.
Later on, this power belonged to Gu Qing Shan.
He had always sealed the Magic Dragon's bloodline, not using it easily, because he knew how terrifying and vicious this power was.
The wind blew.
The land was desolate.
All the soldiers were dead.
The battle was over.
"Did these deaths bring you any benefits?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Next to him, the cloak burning with black flames could be faintly seen.
A line of text appeared from the black flames:
[My power is currently growing, those Law Behemoths have sensed my change and temporarily won't try to mess with me]
"That's good" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
The text abruptly paused, then turned into a new line of text:
[There are signs of death on your companions' side]
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
He retracted his presence, directly used [Ground Shrink], and vanished from the wilderness.
…
At the edge of the wilderness was a barren mountain.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan arrived at the foot of the mountain and found the cave, a cautious voice resounded from inside: "Who is it!?"
"It's me"
The voice was filled with joy: "Rhode, you've returned!"
Gu Qing Shan entered the cave.
This cave was extremely small, barely enough to conceal his presence.
Shroud was lying on the ground, unconscious.
Epta and Scarlet were standing guard by his side.
— — Reneedol and Atley were nowhere to be seen.
"Where are Reneedol and Atley?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Rhode, I don't know what to say …" Epta said.
"What's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
Epta started sobbing, unable to continue.
Scarlet put her hand on her shoulder and calmly said: "Let me tell you"
"Atley had successfully formed a covenant with the Law Behemoth of Wind, obtained great power, and brought us all the way here"
"But Shroud suddenly said that the Overlord of Radiance was already dead"
Gu Qing Shan nodded and asked: "And then?"
"And then Shroud coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, fell unconscious, and his body grew weaker and weaker"
"— — while Reneedol immediately used her [Fate] ability to absorb Atley's power instead when she saw that the situation wasn't looking good, that was how she managed to survive"
Gu Qing Shan walked forward, put her hand on Shroud's body, and used her inner sight to examine him.
Shroud's injuries didn't worsen, but his vitality was growing weaker and weaker.
That's strange …
Gu Qing Shan said: "With two covenant bearers of the Law of Wind, our strength should have greatly increased. What exactly happened? Why did both Atley and Reneedol disappear? "
Scarlet's gaze fell, then lowered her gaze: "We ran into a group of unfamiliar Professionists. As soon as they found out that we were from the World Valley, they immediately tried to kill us"
"During the battle, Reneedol was heavily wounded"
Gu Qing Shan froze.
"Atley said that there are people everywhere who want to kill us, we can't continue like this"
"He took Reneedol away, saying that he wanted to find someone to heal Reneedol first"
"And then you were left behind?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes" Scarlet replied.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze became sharp and casually said: "Epta originally cultivated self-healing techniques, but he still wanted to take Reneedol to find someone else to heal her — — did Reneedol object?"
Scarlet coldly chuckled: "Reneedol said that it would be too conspicuous for so many of us to stay together, so it's better for us to split up for now and come back to find us after she's fully healed"
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything else.
Epta was a healer, while Scarlet was a support spell user. Both of them specialized in their own fields, but neither of them were proficient in combat.
Shroud lost the power of the Overlord of Radiance and fell unconscious.
And at this point in time, they were going to split up!
Let's not talk about Reneedol for now. What happened to Atley?
Gu Qing Shan was pacing back and forth in the cave.
Epta was crying.
Scarlet's gaze was fixated on Gu Qing Shan without leaving.
Gu Qing Shan carefully recalled everything that had happened recently.
Suddenly, he recalled a certain scene:
"Reneedol is too beautiful, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my entire life. She made me feel young once again, awakening my slumbering heart"
"I don't know why I'm doing this either, but since it's come to this, then — –"
— – this was the Grand Elder of the World Valley.
Such a person could already stand at the peak of this world, what couldn't he obtain if he wanted it?
Would he specifically search for a girl because of his emotions?
The Grand Elder …
And also.
As soon as I arrived here, Reneedol was taken away by bandits.
Then, it was her who led the enemies away.
The invisible army earlier originally had other objectives, but they suddenly noticed Reneedol and attacked her.
And then there was Atley.
A simple and honest young man who was willing to make Shroud's bed also took Reneedol away.
Gu Qing Shan's body abruptly froze.
How could there be so many coincidences in this world?
Atley was only a young man who desired to become stronger and couldn't hide his emotions, so he had never once shown his love for Reneedol.
But after he formed a covenant with the Law of Wind, his attitude changed.
It wasn't his problem.
Reneedol …
Reneedol must have some sort of hidden ability specifically used to charm men.
From the looks of it, this ability should be unstoppable.
Fortunately, she was a bit afraid of the Law of Death, otherwise, I might have fallen for it as well.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan immediately spoke in her mind: "Shannu, if you find out that I've fallen in love with Reneedol and am pursuing her, you must stab me with the power of [Law Breaker] without hesitation"
Shannu coldly replied: "Gongzi, I don't care who you like, but if you want me to stab you, I won't hold back"
Gu Qing Shan noticed something wasn't right and explained: "Shannu, you don't understand, Reneedol might have a Fate ability similar to charm"
"What? Why do you say that? "Shannu asked.
Gu Qing Shan then analyzed the situation.
"That's right, it seems she does have such an ability" Luo Bingli chimed in.
「 That's right, I also think Gu Qing Shan's analysis is correct 」 the Earth sword agreed.
The Chao Yin sword chimed as well, seemingly agreeing with that.
Shannu went silent.
"So that's what happened, I thought gongzi had fallen in love with her"
Shannu's voice became a bit warmer: "Don't worry gongzi, I won't let that demoness seduce you, nor will I hurt you"
"Very well, I'll leave this to you"
Gu Qing Shan said.
Then, he thought about what had happened recently.
— — when the Law lost its effect, Reneedol directly abandoned Shroud and even called for someone to kill him.
— — just now, when the Overlord of Radiance died, Reneedol abandoned Shroud and took Atley away.
This woman even stole Little Dusk's power, if I didn't show up, Little Dusk would have already died.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Grand Empress of the Pantheon … originally, out of respect for the strong, I didn't use any assassination methods …"
"If that's the case …"
While Gu Qing Shan was silently thinking, Epta suddenly called out: "Rhode, Shroud is about to die!"
