His blade was like snow.
The glow of the snow was blinding, traveling with the wind, blooming with the color of blood as it flowed.
Screams of pain resounded without end.
The rampaging crowd of people slowly fell to the ground, turning into warm corpses.
Gu Qing Shan's expression was devoid of any emotion.
— — even if he couldn't use his sword, his fighting spirit, experience, and ability to adapt to the situation were still there.
He had killed countless people in his life, went through countless dangerous situations, and was used to fighting against undefeatable entities.
The current situation couldn't even be considered dangerous.
He simply swung.
Swung.
Swung.
Swung.
Swung!
The rampaging crowd of enemies couldn't even last three breaths' worth of time before they all fell to the ground.
Kih — — -
An arrow flew through the air like a blurred image, flying towards Gu Qing Shan from an extremely tricky angle, but was knocked away by his Blade in time.
"That was a good shot"
Gu Qing Shan praised and looked afar.
The district magistrate was standing a few hundred meters away, holding his bow and shouting in anger: "You've killed so many people on the street, the Samsara will not forgive you!"
Gu Qing Shan didn't pay attention to him and simply stood there, as if in thought.
Various scenes appeared in his mind.
— — as the battle continued, the memories were coming back.
Unfortunately, there's still a bit more to go …
His gaze moved and looked around.
There was still a living person on the ground.
Patrol Shou Liu.
This was the district magistrate's trusted aide, someone who had been following me since the very beginning, trying to find my weakness.
Gu Qing Shan held his Blade and walked in front of Patrol Shou Liu.
"Brother Gu, don't, please don't kill me, I beg you!"
Patrol Shou Liu had lost a leg, lying on the ground, begging for mercy.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "Brother Liu, do you still remember? I treated you to a meal "
Patrol Shou Liu nodded: "I do! I do! Brother's cooking skills are quite good "
"That's right, we still have a bit of a friendship" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"That's right, brother, I beg you to spare me" Patrol Shou Liu said.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and said: "Don't worry"
The saber light flashed.
His head flew into the air and rolled a few meters away on the ground.
Gu Qing Shan shakes off the blood on the saber and holds it with a backhand grip. She stands still.
… It was still not enough.
There was still a little bit of his memory left before he could fully recover.
Tsk!
— Smuggling is really troublesome.
Gu Qing Shan is a little distressed and looks at the Magistrate.
Maybe if he killed this guy, he would be able to recover his memory?
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan gripped the saber and walked towards the Magistrate.
The magistrate's expression changed dramatically, he drew out several arrows and shot them at Gu Qing Shan.
"You devil, you won't even let Old Liu off!" The county magistrate shouted.
Gu Qing Shan raised her long saber and knocked away the arrows one by one. She said casually, "Eating is eating, killing is killing. It's wrong to have sand in your eyes."
The county magistrate's expression changed several times.
He didn't expect to meet such a ruthless fellow.
He suddenly put his hand on the bowstring and spoke in a low voice: "Let's not beat around the bush, you're also a Saint's Chosen, am I right?"
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan didn't deny it.
The county magistrate continued: "Now that the Samsara has been reopened, we Saint's Chosen are required to push it forward until it finally reaches the realm of Contending for Supremacy. This process requires the cooperation of Saint's Chosen a lot of the time"
"That's also true" Gu Qing Shan sheathed her saber and agreed.
The county magistrate continued: "Fellow Dao seeker Gu, you and I are both Saint's Chosen, although we've both lost our powers, we'll recover sooner or later, won't we?"
"That's right, I can faintly feel it, that's indeed the case" Gu Qing Shan followed up.
The county magistrate took a deep breath and sincerely spoke: "Fellow Dao seeker Gu, you and I are both Saint's Chosen, high and mighty, representing the future of the Samsara. Why must we fight to the death for these ant-like living beings?"
"Ant-Like … living beings …"
As Gu Qing Shan mulled over these words, she appeared to be reminiscing.
He suddenly spoke: "In the past, my Shifu's name resounded all over the world, whenever she went out, people would often kneel down and beg her for help, but she would always step aside, refusing to accept their kneeling, do you know why?"
The county magistrate asked: "Why?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "All living beings are equal"
The county magistrate was stunned.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Even if you're the Heavenly King himself, you're still a member of the living beings. You only obtained your position due to various reasons and karma, so what right do you have to control the seal, causing so many innocent and kind people to lose their homes, suffer calamities, and shed tears of sorrow because of death?"
The county magistrate sensed something and couldn't help but ridicule: "You talk so much, but do you dare to say that you've only killed a few people?"
Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied: "This humble one has an obsession in his heart, to seek justice whenever there's injustice, that's why I've killed so many people, I'm truly ashamed"
As he drew his saber, his killing intent condensed into killing intent as if it was solid.
Seeing that, the county magistrate no longer hesitated, abruptly took out something from his chest pocket and squeezed it.
Go — — - bam — -
A firework shot up to the sky, blooming in a beautiful display of colors.
"Gu Qing Shan, I've already asked for reinforcements, the higher-ups will soon send a Combatant — — you're dead!" the county magistrate shouted.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the firework and muttered: "I'm being pushed a bit too far …"
Once a high-ranking official comes here, they only need to casually search the county to find out about the local officials secretly keeping the seal.
— — -since the county magistrate is asking for reinforcements at this time, it means that he has no other choice, but it also means that reinforcements will arrive very soon.
Even sooner than I thought!
— — I can't wait any longer, I need to kill the county magistrate right now!
Gu Qing Shan quickened her pace and rushed towards the county magistrate.
The county magistrate continuously swung his bow to shoot arrows, but his body was constantly retreating.
Gu Qing Shan dodged and moved, occasionally knocking away a few arrows while quickly catching up.
The distance between them was getting closer and closer.
The county magistrate suddenly let out a loud roar.
Followed by the neighing of a horse.
A horse came out from the corner of the street, quickly passing by the county magistrate.
"Ahaha, Gu Qing Shan, we'll meet again!"
The county magistrate laughed as he jumped onto the horse.
Oh no.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
Since everyone's strength hasn't fully recovered yet, they can still use the temporary burst of power from their bodies to catch up, but as time goes on, they won't be able to catch up to a horse on foot.
"You want to run?"
Gu Qing Shan shouted, exerted force from her feet, and quickly ran towards the horse.
The county magistrate had his own plans, so before he even sat down on the horse, he had already pulled out an arrow and turned around to shoot.
Sha!
The arrow flew straight towards Gu Qing Shan's chest, perfectly timed.
If Gu Qing Shan doesn't dodge, she'll definitely be hit by the arrow.
— — -but if she stops to dodge, or uses her Blade to block, her speed will slow down and she won't be able to catch up to the horse.
In that split second, a scene suddenly appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
It was a scene from the past.
A woman.
She stood in the middle of the wilderness, wielding her Blade, lightly chanting: "The Blade is a sacrifice for the Dao, advancing with indomitable will!"
The scene flashed by.
But Gu Qing Shan didn't retreat at all, instead, he jumped onto the horse like a dragon.
He used one hand to block the arrow in front of his chest, while the other hand held the Blade and raised it up high — — -
Slash!!!
A cold gleam like snow, carrying a hint of crimson as it bloomed.
The county magistrate was cut in half, his bloodied body fell off the horse.
A strange phenomenon appeared — — -
Only to see the light and shadow around them changing. From the faint yellow mist, the dark mountain, the Forgetting River, the Naraka Bridge, and the Gates of Hell appeared.
A soul was sucked into that scene, still unwilling to give up as it turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.
"You forced me to the Yellow Spring, ruined my Saint Selection, I won't let you off!"
The soul uttered a venomous roar.
In a split second, all the scenes disappeared, including the scene of the Yellow Spring.
Gu Qing Shan found himself still sitting on the horse's back.
The horse was running towards the street ahead.
All of a sudden, a sharp pain came.
"Aaaargh!"
Gu Qing Shan clutched his head, trying his best to stay on the horse's back so that he wouldn't fall off.
Countless images came one after another, flashing through his mind at a rapid speed. In the end, they formed a complete memory of light and shadow.
The pain receded like a receding tide.
A line of crimson text appeared in the void of space:
[Congratulations, you've fully recovered your memories]
Gu Qing Shan quickly skimmed through it and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
He finally remembered everything from the past.
He sighed, put his Blade away, and held the reins of the horse with one hand.
"Hyah!"
The horse immediately sped up, quickly ran out of the county and disappeared into the wilderness.
