Gu Qing Shan was wearing a full set of black armor as she walked around the room.
"How do you feel?" Lola asked.
"Not bad, this armor is stronger than I thought, we can begin now" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Become the strongest — — this is probably the simplest of the three conditions, what do you intend to do?" Lola curiously asked.
"First I'll understand the rules of this city"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan summoned the manager of Black City.
[Young master Gu, what is your order?] the electronic voice asked.
"I want to ask, what are the consequences of killing someone in Black City" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Black City is a place for Professionists to relax and have fun, random killing is not allowed] the electronic voice answered.
Gu Qing Shan: "— — What if I kill them?"
[The law enforcement agency will send out a large number of Combatants to eliminate the criminal] the electronic voice answered.
"This is the Great Evil World, is the public security really that good?" Gu Qing Shan doubted it.
[Young master Gu, you asked about 'random killing', that is naturally not allowed, but if you use a proper method to kill someone, Black City will allow it] the electronic voice answered.
"A proper method?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
[Yes, we definitely do not allow random, open killing on the streets, that is equivalent to challenging the public security of Black City, so if you want to kill someone, you can only do it quietly — — that way, no one will care about you]
"… You mean assassinate?"
[Yes, clean, kill in one strike, don't disturb others, clean up the corpse, and don't destroy the city's environment — — this kind of assassination is allowed]
"Besides assassination, is there no other way?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
[You can kill anyone in the arena, aside from that, legitimate self-defense and assassination missions will not be held accountable] the electronic voice answered.
"What does assassination missions mean?"
[After accepting Black City's publicly announced assassination missions, you can kill someone and receive the reward] the electronic voice answered.
That's good!
Gu Qing Shan slightly nodded.
Since the method has been confirmed, then — —
"Who is the strongest in Black City?" he asked.
[The strongest Professionist is known as the King of Gladiators, the number one expert in the Evil world that everyone respects, born in the arena] the electronic voice explained.
"Can I challenge him?"
"You must first win 100 matches in the arena before you are qualified to challenge the King of Fighters."
"So troublesome?" Gu Qing Shan frowned and said, "In that case, I want to pay him to complete a task."
"Pay 100 million Evil Coins and you can request a basic mission from the King of Gladiators."
"I'll pay him to kill someone for me."
"Assassination mission? Please pay one billion evil coins. "
"Alright, go give him a mission and have him kill me."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
…
In the arena.
Today was a once-in-a-thousand-years grand auction, so the arena was temporarily closed for the day.
The entire arena was empty. There wasn't anyone around.
Gu Qing Shan moved a chair over and sat in the middle of the arena. She was rather bored.
The mission had already been issued.
Now, I just have to wait for the King of Fighters to come and kill me.
"Will he come?" Lola asked.
"I'm not sure, but since he's already accepted the mission, he probably won't go back on his word" Gu Qing Shan yawned and replied.
"A guy that you've never met before, he must have awakened Realm Power as well, perhaps even a bit stronger than you — — - do you have any idea?" Lola asked.
"While walking here, I discovered a hidden function of this armor" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"What function?" Lola was intrigued.
"When I observe anyone, I can see the evil they've done in the past" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Of course, you have to see the evil first before you can recreate it" Lola naturally replied.
She then realized and sighed emotionally: "You can roughly understand a person's past just by looking at them, this is truly amazing"
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan agreed.
He suddenly sensed something, put his chair away and stood up.
At some unknown point, a figure had appeared in the arena.
"Gu Qing Shan?" the figure asked.
"It's me" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The figure went silent for a bit, then said: "You're about to die"
As Gu Qing Shan looked at him, lines of glowing text suddenly appeared in the void of space:
[A Phase Realm belonging to the other party is rapidly approaching]
[In a countdown of 5 seconds, this world will overlap with the main world and replace it]
[Five]
[Four]
[Three]
[Two]
[One!]
The entirety of Black City disappeared, the arena also disappeared, as did the figure on the other side.
The world had turned into a grey ocean.
Gu Qing Shan lightly hovered above the ocean and looked around.
Hands reached out from the seawater, densely packed, and quickly covered the entire surface of the sea.
The other party's voice resounded:
[This is my Phase Realm, all those who have been killed by me will remain in this world, eternally enduring my torture — — they have become a part of me]
Boom!
Seawater splashed everywhere.
One after another, Professionists stood up from the grey ocean.
They filled every direction, surrounding Gu Qing Shan in the middle.
Gu Qing Shan looked around and sighed: "How impressive, I still don't have my own Phase Realm"
He raised his hand and grasped the void of space.
Skeletons descended from the void of space, flew behind him, and disappeared without a trace.
A notification appeared in the void of space:
[As you continue to practice, your Dance of Death Duel has once again improved]
[Your combat form: Four-faced Demon King has disappeared]
[You've grasped a new form of Death Duel: Horde Demon Flurry]
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.
Four flying swords manifested behind him, his presence was raised to its peak as he took a stance.
Clang clang clang ~ Clang clang clang ~
Bam bam bam bam bam!
As the electronic music was about to start, Gu Qing Shan suddenly called out: "Stop! Be serious, we're in the middle of killing someone here "
The music stopped.
Dong — — - dong dong dong — — -
The deep and desolate sound of a drum resounded.
"That's the right feeling" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
"Aaaargh! Kill him! "countless Professionists charged at him from all sides.
Gu Qing Shan stood still.
One by one, skeletons materialized behind him.
These skeletons had a pair of skeletal wings on their backs, surrounded by four flying swords that flew in every direction.
The skeletons scattered and went into battle with the Professionists.
Each skeleton had 50% of Gu Qing Shan's strength.
— — [Horde Demon Flurry]!
Countless sounds of battle resounded throughout heaven and earth.
Gu Qing Shan still stood still.
The skeletons behind him were still flying out to meet the Professionists.
"Come, they're fighting so fiercely, don't you want to fight me a little?"
Gu Qing Shan spoke to the void of space.
A split second later.
Suddenly, a figure appeared from the water.
"What kind of technique is this?" the figure asked.
"This isn't a technique, it's a dance" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"I can see that, although this dance is very powerful, it's still only in its embryonic stage — — - you want to use it to kill me? That's nothing but a fool's dream" the figure said.
"You have good eyes" Gu Qing Shan praised.
"Of course, I've killed countless living beings, so I can see everything clearly. Right now, I'm only interested in killing and torturing" the figure replied.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "I can see it"
He could faintly sense something.
The other party had taken the initiative. Right now, he can only activate his title Skill [Yesterday Once More] by breaking the other party's Realm Barrier.
Because [Yesterday Once More] will also create a unique Realm Barrier!
However, as for how to break a Phase Realm, he still had no clue.
There's no time to think about it right now!
Then … there's only one way …
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand out and grabbed a flying sword from the void of space.
"Ice Glaze?" he whispered.
A yawning sound came from the flying sword.
"What is it? I just woke up "Luo Bingli lazily replied.
"Umm — — I heard that women like to have their beauty sleep?" Gu Qing Shan nervously asked.
"I guess so, wait a minute, what are you thinking about?" Luo Bingli became cautious.
