The night was cold.
Gu Qing Shan stood in the air, looking down at the river with her sword in hand.
"Is it done?" Lola asked.
"No, it's still alive" Gu Qing Shan spoke with a serious expression.
Lola was surprised: "How strange, it was stabbed so many times by your sword, why isn't it dead?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "It's coming again, it's best if you hide behind me, there's something wrong with this guy"
Corpses started to float up from the river.
Almost all of these corpses belonged to middle-aged men, their hands and feet were tied together, their faces were frozen with fear and despair.
From a rough count, there were at least a few thousand of these corpses, all of them were floating on the surface of the river, not even the rapid flow of the river could wash them away.
Seems like these were the knights the old man talked about.
They were buried in the piers of the bridge and built the Bridge of Resentment.
At this point, the old man slowly floated up from the water.
He looked at the ghastly wounds all over his body and said in an appraising tone, "That's right.
"Such ruthless swordsmanship, no hesitation in your attacks, each strike enough to take a life. I now believe that you've killed people, you must be an expert in taking lives"
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything.
Why isn't this guy dead yet?
"Shannu, what happened just now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Gongzi, I don't know either, I clearly severed all of his techniques" Shannu was confused.
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent and looked at the old man.
The old man was completely soaked, stepping on the corpses as he slowly walked towards her.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes flickered a bit.
Countless sword phantoms appeared from the void of space and struck the old man's body.
The old man didn't move at all, his expression was calm as he took the attacks, but his body wasn't cut in half at all.
He only stopped for a bit, then continued walking towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan scowled.
Strange, each of my attacks should be able to cut his body in half at least, so why is this the result?
The old man had a look of understanding on his face.
He looked at Gu Qing Shan as if he was looking at a treasure and said,
"I finally understand. You are a newcomer who has just come to the Dusty World from the outside world, so you are ignorant of everything. But because of your unique characteristics, the Dusty World has given you the starting title: Pure."
The other party's guess was absolutely correct!
Gu Qing Shan's gaze moved across the corpses.
Could it be that it borrowed the power of the corpses?
He grabbed the Chao Yin sword from the void of space and swung it downwards.
The river suddenly rose sharply!
The speed of the entire river increased by many times. The raging river water carried the corpses and flowed downstream at high speed.
The surface of the river was clean.
Only the rain kept falling, forming fleeting ripples on the surface of the river.
The old man did not stop them. He just stood quietly on the water and watched the whole process.
When Gu Qing Shan was done, he grinned and said, "A pure witch like you is indeed rare. You can prove one of my theories."
"I couldn't tell, you're also a theorist" Gu Qing Shan commented.
Not the corpses.
What exactly did this old man rely on to stop my sword technique?
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword in Gu Qing Shan's right hand disappeared.
The Earth sword appeared from the void of space and was grasped by him.
Whether it's [Earth's Choice] or [Sanctuary], both should be able to do something.
「 No, Gu Qing Shan, I can already sense it. You can't use me to kill it 」 the Earth sword's heavy voice resounded.
"Why not?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
「 I'm not sure … but I don't understand, could it be because he has an Occultism power? 」 the Earth sword was confused.
"What is an Occultism power?"
「 Normally speaking, all incomprehensible powers are categorized as Occultism power 」 the Earth sword replied.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the old man.
The old man simply looked down at the corpses on the surface of the river with a contemplative expression.
He seemed to be considering something.
Occultism power.
All incomprehensible powers are categorized as Occultism power.
That's too perfunctory.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
This was similar to how insects couldn't comprehend Divine flames, beasts couldn't comprehend human electronics, and humans couldn't comprehend the Apocalypse.
But for some reason, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit excited.
A completely incomprehensible power, just like the Sacrificial Dance.
Such a power appeared in front of me in a form other than the Sacrificial Dance.
The old man suddenly asked: "You seem a bit excited?"
He evaluated Gu Qing Shan.
"That's right, I've never seen someone like you before" Gu Qing Shan admitted.
"Ah, I understand, you're wondering why you can't kill me" the old man said.
"Yes, can you tell me?"
"Even if I tell you, what can you do? In the end, there's a bottomless boundary between us, no matter how skilled you are, you're still no match for me "
The old man casually said.
A heavy shadow appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
Not good!
He grabbed Lola as layers of white fog rose from his body.
In the sky, a gigantic bloody maw descended from the sky and swallowed the entire area where Gu Qing Shan was.
The old man slowly spoke: "Endure the torture inside the Night Beast's stomach, with your current level of power, you won't be able to resist its digestion, such is the fate of a Pure Witch"
He abruptly went silent as his expression turned grim.
"You ran … I'd like to see where you can run to"
The old man disappeared.
At another location.
A dark alley.
As the white fog scattered, Gu Qing Shan and Lola appeared.
Without hesitation, Lola shouted: "Bless"
Two sets of armor appeared from the void of space, quickly attaching themselves to her and Gu Qing Shan's bodies.
"It's useless" Gu Qing Shan shook her head.
"Did we really almost die just now?" Lola asked.
"That's right, that thing that descended from above was able to destroy any power on our bodies, we definitely can't let it touch us" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"How do you know?"
"Instinct"
Gu Qing Shan's expression turned serious.
The other party's combat skills are clearly miles away from mine, but I can't kill it.
And I can't even touch it.
What exactly is going on?
All of a sudden, a faint glow appeared on the War God UI.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared:
[The UI didn't expect you to come into contact with this level of power, so it will discuss the current situation with you and collect fees through question and answer]
You didn't expect it, so you want to double the fee? Does that make sense?
Gu Qing Shan was a bit speechless, then suddenly realized something and told Lola: "Cover me"
Without saying anything, Lola raised her flower umbrella to cover the two of them.
They disappeared from under the streetlight.
One second.
Two seconds.
A figure appeared at the end of the alley.
It was the old man.
He looked at the empty street and muttered in confusion: "Strange, I was here just now …"
Gu Qing Shan and Lola stood still under the flower umbrella.
Lola's expression was a bit pale.
It was very rare for her to see Gu Qing Shan retreating.
Truly …
The other party was too eerie.
Gu Qing Shan stood still with a calm expression.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?" he asked the War God UI.
The War God UI replied: [From the combat records, we can say that during your first strike, although your sword managed to cut off all of his Laws, what he used wasn't Laws, but Force, true power]
The Soul Points value on the UI was deducted a bit.
The War God UI didn't answer.
"True power, you mean Soul Points?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[No] the War God UI replied.
"Origin power?"
[No]
"Prayers?"
[Also not]
The Soul Points value was deducted three times in a row.
Gu Qing Shan's eyelids twitched.
Fortunately, the War God UI continued: [This is an unforeseen situation, you have seen the true limits of power too early]
Its voice became cold and solemn: [Gu Qing Shan, you must discover everything by yourself]
[This is a stage that belongs to the true Combatants of the infinite worlds, countless entities are watching you. According to the rules, none of them can act, they can only wait for your end]
"What end?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Either you cross the gap of power and become their ally; or you stop here and become a mediocre savior of the world]
[Gu Qing Shan, no one can help you and Lola right now, this is the fork in your destiny]
[I must also remain silent]
After saying so, the War God UI fell silent.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
You told me so much just to tell me that you must remain silent?
And you dare to take so much Soul Points from me?
But it's still a reminder.
At the entrance of the alleyway, the old man seemed to be suspicious and was walking towards it.
He approached Gu Qing Shan and Lola step by step.
Lola silently pulled on Gu Qing Shan's sleeve and anxiously said: "He's here"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the old man, then at the sword in his hand.
He fell into thought.
