The monster had blocked off the entire path.
It slowly raised its weapon, but due to the [Dragon Hex]'s influence, its movements were too slow to capture Gu Qing Shan's figure.
Gu Qing Shan circled around the monster and continuously attacked.
His swords were fast to the extreme.
The monster's body occasionally gave off a 'si si si' sound, like the sound of heavy cloth being torn apart.
But the monster stood still.
「 What feeble power, do you really think you can win against me with that much power? 」 the monster mocked.
Gu Qing Shan didn't answer and simply swung his sword even faster.
The monster faced his sword, quickly stepped forward while shouting: 「 The eulogy is about to end, your time of death has come! 」
Countless illusory images filled the entire world.
Gu Qing Shan saw the corpses all around him. These corpses were arranged in a giant formation around him, chanting the eulogy in unison.
— — as if they had already been chanting the eulogy since the start of the battle, but because he was in another world, Gu Qing Shan didn't notice it.
So the monster had also been stalling for time!
Gu Qing Shan's pupils dilated, feeling his body losing control.
An illusory figure flew out from his body.
— — what?
They were able to force my soul out?
At the moment of life and death, Gu Qing Shan abruptly looked at the monster.
The monster was surrounded by layers upon layers of corpses, loudly chanting: 「 I judge — — 」
"Go!" Gu Qing Shan shouted.
In the blink of an eye, three figures flew out from behind him.
— — -the three skeletons flew through the air, passing through all the corpses in their way and quickly slashed the monster's body with their swords.
— — -1200 strikes in an instant!
A giant sword phantom manifested from the void of space and pierced through the monster's body.
Bygone Era Sword Technique, [Wu Karmic]!
The monster's eulogy was cut off.
It froze in place, its body twitching a bit.
Instantly, all the illusory images disappeared.
The corpses all stared at Gu Qing Shan with a begrudging expression on their faces.
Gu Qing Shan put the skeletons away, took a few steps back, and looked at the void of space.
Lines of glowing text appeared:
"Your 'Sword of Karmaless' struck him."
"Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the 'Sword of Karmaless' is unable to kill the enemy."
[This sword will absorb all of your power, temporarily paralyzing the enemy]
"Your Soul Points have been reduced to zero."
[Your power and Huang Quan Origin power have been reduced to zero]
Gu Qing Shan used her sword as a support and wiped the sweat off her forehead with her other hand. She let out a long sigh.
I've come to this dead end again.
Why?
Why couldn't he kill him? Instead, he was always almost forced into certain death by the other party?
"Lola, let's go," he said calmly.
"Okay," Lola answered.
The next moment, Gu Qing Shan's figure disappeared from the middle of the road.
The monster slowly recovered.
It let out an angry roar and strode up and down the road.
But Gu Qing Shan didn't show up again.
The monster couldn't help but roar in anger: 「 No, you won't be able to escape, the entire monastery already knows that a living person has arrived, wherever you go, you'll only be greeted by death! 」
A few dozen meters behind it, Gu Qing Shan was drinking a bottle of Secret Medicine.
Lola was sitting on his shoulder, holding an umbrella in one hand and a fan in the other, fanning him.
"You've worked hard, you did a good job just now, but this monster is too strong" Lola encouraged her.
After drinking the Secret Medicine, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit better and said: "I'm now more and more curious about their power"
"Then where are we going next?" Lola asked.
"Didn't that knight say before that there's only a single place in the entire monastery that provides free food and water? That must be hinting at something, let's go look for it" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"… Alright"
The two of them no longer paid any attention to the roaring monster and followed the road deeper into the monastery.
At the end of the road, the road split into several smaller paths that led to different buildings.
The building closest to the road was so tall that it reached the clouds, a bit like a cathedral, but its wooden doors were tightly shut, making it impossible to tell what was inside.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola circled around the cathedral, but couldn't find any other entrances.
"How about we break that door and take a look?" Lola suggested.
"No, did you forget that old man? [Shelter of Infinite Worlds] is very useful, but if they set up a trap ahead of time, we'll still be in danger "Gu Qing Shan cautiously said.
The sky was still dark.
In the darkness of the night, a small building not too far away was faintly lit, as well as the sound of knocking.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola continued forward, quickly arriving in front of that building.
This building's doors were also tightly shut, with only a thin layer of light peeking out from the window.
They could faintly see a gigantic figure hammering something.
Countless screams of pain resounded as it hammered.
"Gu Qing Shan, are we going in to save those people?" Lola worriedly asked.
"No, those screams don't belong to a living person" Gu Qing Shan answered.
"How do you know?"
"Hm, I know"
The two of them went past this building and continued forward.
Then they arrived in front of a small steeple.
Sha sha sha — — -
The sound of digging could be heard from below the steeple.
Gu Qing Shan and Lola silently went closer to take a look.
Only to see a few monsters with two horns on their heads digging graves.
They threw the corpses they dug up onto a broken wooden cart. Whenever the cart was full, it would be pulled towards the burning building from before.
Sometimes, when the corpses that these monsters dug up were still intact, they would lift them up to take a closer look, eat a few mouthfuls before throwing them onto the cart.
— — without a doubt, this was the monastery's graveyard.
Gu Qing Shan silently retreated after a few glances.
The two of them walked a bit further until they reached a large square.
This place was completely silent, but there were many people and monsters standing here.
They were standing around the center of the square, chanting something that sounded like some sort of incantation.
As Gu Qing Shan focused her gaze, she saw that the center of the square was empty except for a pool of blood.
The pool of blood was constantly moving, as if it was alive.
This scene was so eerie that both Gu Qing Shan and Lola couldn't help but want to keep watching.
The chanting became louder and louder. As they chanted, Gu Qing Shan suddenly noticed something strange.
— — -as if her body was going out of control again.
Not good.
I can't stay here any longer!
Gu Qing Shan silently retreated from the edge of the square.
He returned to the main road, observed the layout of the buildings around him, thought for a bit, then took another path towards a more secluded area of the monastery.
"Why are we getting further and further off the path?" Lola worriedly asked.
"I feel like the place that the knight was talking about isn't one of those buildings that are connected together" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"But there are so many other paths, why did we only take this dirt path?" Lola asked again.
"Because the other paths are all paved paths that represent a coherent state or movement, but the path we're walking on seems to have been carved out by someone else — — - since it's so different, there must be a reason for it" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"You mean, free food and water?" Lola asked.
"That's possible" Gu Qing Shan replied.
As the two of them walked on the path, a fog slowly appeared in front of them.
Lola took out a cannon and slung it on her back.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at her.
"This is the enhanced version of Cannon Bro, it can blow up a few worlds" Lola commented.
"It's useless, the power of those monsters is eerie — — – eerie and incomprehensible, so it probably won't do anything" Gu Qing Shan commented.
Lola replied: "I'm not greedy, I'll consider it a success if I can create a bit of chaos"
She then sighed: "Now I finally understand how terrifying Occultism is, regretfully, there are so few Occultists in the 900 million World Layers"
"You should feel fortunate, not regretful" Gu Qing Shan commented.
The two of them slowly walked into the fog.
After passing through the fog, the path ahead became clear.
This was already a corner of the monastery, other than a few barren trees, there was nothing else.
"Seems like we'll have to turn back" Lola commented.
Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to scan, but found nothing.
He went silent for a bit, then stopped in front of a tree.
"What's the matter?" Lola asked.
Gu Qing Shan pointed at the trunk of a particular tree for Lola to see.
Lola held the flower umbrella in one hand and propped it up on Gu Qing Shan's head with the other as she looked at the tree trunk.
A small green sprout was growing from a certain part of the tree trunk.
— — -although it was only the size of a fingernail, it was the only living thing in the entire monastery.
The two of them exchanged glances, then began to walk around the barren trees.
Lola took out all sorts of probing treasures — — cards, scanners, wands, gemstone lenses, treasure hunting dolls, etc., but found nothing out of the ordinary.
"Nothing at all" Lola regretfully said.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, then said: "Put your flower umbrella away"
"Ah? Ah! "Lola was surprised.
As soon as she put the flower umbrella away, [Infinite Worlds' Shelter]'s effect disappeared.
The two of them appeared under the tree.
They stood still for a few moments.
— — still nothing happened.
"What do we do now?" Lola asked.
"I'm a bit hungry, how about we eat something first?" Gu Qing Shan suggested.
Lola opened her beautiful eyes wide and stared at him.
Gu Qing Shan, you still have the stomach to eat in such a terrifying place?
But now that you mention it, I also feel hungry.
"Then let's eat something" Lola agreed.
Suddenly — — -
A timid voice came from the tree:
"I have free food and water here, do you need it?"
