Gu Qing Shan lightly gripped his sword.
— — time is of the essence, where would I find the time to slowly spar with a paper figure?
If I'm constantly being dragged back to fight, how am I supposed to search for the Asura's place of inheritance?
I'll use [Earth's Choice] to destroy it!
Intense killing intent erupted from Gu Qing Shan's body.
The humanoid paper figure instantly sensed his determination.
It glanced at the flying swords in the void of space and pondered: 「 Ten Thousand Swords Return to One is the first step, a single sword as ten thousand swords is the next step, who would've thought a mere lower realm human would have such swordsmanship … 」
「 You sure know quite a bit 」
Gu Qing Shan scoffed and abruptly disappeared.
The flying swords in the sky all vibrated.
The air of destruction erupted in every direction.
The entire lake was enveloped by intense sword phantoms, which eventually manifested into a crescent moon.
As the humanoid paper figure was illuminated by the moon, it abruptly lowered the lance in its hand and chanted:
「 Such swordsmanship can clearly be improved upon, regretfully, your knowledge is limited and you have yet to witness the wonders of a higher realm — — 」
A streak of moonlight stopped at its neck.
The moonlight turned into the Earth sword.
Gu Qing Shan stood behind the humanoid paper figure and raised his sword:
"Your excellency, may I ask what the higher realm of swordsmanship is?"
The humanoid paper figure smiled and replied: 「 It's — — 」
Sha!
The Earth sword once again turned into a sharp cold gleam that flashed through the humanoid paper figure's neck.
[Earth's Choice]!
The humanoid paper figure turned into snowflakes that drifted across the lake, slowly disappearing into the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan spoke without changing his expression: "My heart is my sword, how dare you try to sway my heart?"
He put his sword away and was about to leave when another voice resounded behind him.
「 What a headache — — 」
"Whenever I see you unreasonable sword cultivators, I feel like my head is about to explode."
Gu Qing Shan slowly turned around.
Only to see that another humanoid paper figure had appeared on the other side of the lake.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a moment and said, "You used a controlling technique to transform the paper and used the paper to fight with me, but you didn't show yourself. May I know why?"
The humanoid piece of paper spoke: 「 I had thought that you were a low-level Doomsday Envoy. If that was the case, you wouldn't be qualified to meet me, but after the test just now, I realized that you are a true Apostle of Chaos 」
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
— — Just like how he saw through the soldier boy, his true identity was also seen through.
"And who are you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Follower of Chaos, let me ask you, why are you here?" The humanoid paper piece asked.
"I originally came for the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, but then a lot of strange things happened, so I ended up here" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 Strange things … does that mean there are a lot of things that you don't understand? 」 the humanoid paper piece asked.
「 To be frank, I originally thought that fighting would be enough, everyone would choose the King of Fighters, and the King of Fighters would become the Master of the Samsara — — - but who knew that the Samsara would be so complicated 」 Gu Qing Shan replied.
He noticed that the other party didn't want to fight anymore and only wanted to ask him a few things.
「 Do you want to find out the secrets of the Samsara? 」 the humanoid paper piece asked.
"No! There are too many secrets in the Samsara — — - I get a headache just thinking about the word 'secrets' right now, but I've already gotten myself involved, so for the sake of survival, I have no choice but to deal with the secrets "Gu Qing Shan shrugged.
The humanoid paper piece couldn't hold back its laughter.
It casually tossed something out.
「 Your heart is as firm as a rock, yet you haven't lost your true colors, you truly deserve to be called a sword cultivator 」
"Take it and participate in the true torrent of the Six Paths of Reincarnation …"
「 Perhaps one day, you will prove that I am right 」
After saying so, the humanoid paper piece flew up into the sky and disappeared without a trace.
The item slowly landed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
— — -it was a jasper thumb ring.
Gu Qing Shan received the thumb ring.
Instantly, lines of blood-red text quickly appeared:
[You've obtained a thumb ring forged from celestial jade]
[This thumb ring doesn't have any special functions, but it is a symbol of status]
[I don't know the specifics]
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit, then decided to put the thumb ring on his finger.
— — there's no harm in wearing it anyway. And that person's words just now seemed to contain some sort of deeper meaning.
"I've been gone for too long, I need to quickly return"
Gu Qing Shan muttered.
A white fog manifested behind him and enveloped his entire body.
At the very next moment, he disappeared.
…
The first infiltration point.
Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and walked out from a certain corner of the fortress.
Soon enough, he appeared on top of the fortress again.
A few Card soldiers immediately came to see him.
"Sir, we've discovered quite a few locations where the fragments are active"
"Hm, give me the specific locations"
"Please be careful sir, we've already lost more than half of our men just to find these locations"
Gu Qing Shan looked at these soldiers.
They were all wounded, some even had their armor broken.
"Isn't this the safest infiltration point?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, otherwise sir wouldn't have been able to see us at all and would only be able to determine the situation based on our corpses" one of the soldiers explained.
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
— — -so this is what they call the 'safest infiltration point'.
If that's the case, it's completely understandable that the organization lost a large number of Void Lords to the Sea of Weapons.
He took the cards presented by the soldiers and looked at them. Soon, he chose the location of one of the fragments.
"This location is the closest, let's go there"
After confirming the direction, Gu Qing Shan flew down from the fortress wall.
He flew through the endless wilderness towards his destination and only landed when he was about to reach it.
A faint fluctuation could be felt from afar.
Ah right, it's nearby!
Gu Qing Shan drew the Earth sword, thought for a bit, then put it back and took out the meteor hammer of the seven weapons.
— — -this way, it'll be a bit more confusing.
He focused his mind and slowly moved towards the source of the fluctuation.
All of a sudden, a series of explosions could be heard not too far away from him.
Various screams and sounds of battle could be heard.
Gu Qing Shan immediately changed his strategy.
[Ground Shrink]!
He directly appeared at the edge of the battlefield.
"Run, hurry and run!" someone shouted.
Everyone around him was fleeing.
Gu Qing Shan hid behind a tree, squinting his eyes as he observed those people.
Lines of crimson text quickly appeared:
[Attention]
[The fleeing people are all Fallen Order members]
Fallen Order?
So they're here as well.
At this point in time, the human tomb still hasn't appeared, but the Fallen Order have already sent their people to infiltrate the Asura world.
Gu Qing Shan silently thought and looked at the back of the crowd.
Only to see a mountain range slowly moving, chasing after the crowd.
At the bottom of the mountain range, a giant greyish-white zombie was being chained by countless chains.
It carried the entire mountain on its back as it crawled forward, occasionally releasing poisonous miasma or spitting out insect corpses to chase after the fleeing people.
More and more people were dying.
This zombie truly wasn't to be trifled with. Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but carefully think of a way to kill it.
The crowd suddenly burst into cries of despair.
"Not good"
"The Fallen Order won't let us escape"
"We have to return and kill that zombie, otherwise we'll also be killed by the Fallen Order"
They stood still, not daring to move a single step.
Roar — — -
The giant zombie let out an earth-shattering roar and slowly caught up.
"Kill it!"
"Only by killing it will we survive!"
Everyone turned around and attacked the giant zombie with everything they had.
However, as their spells struck the zombie, they couldn't cause any damage at all.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Everyone was dead.
The giant zombie crouched on the ground and began to pick up the corpses with its fingers, gathering them together.
— — -apparently sensing something, it abruptly looked towards a certain direction.
「 This lunch … is still missing a sly insect … 」
The giant zombie spoke with a grim tone.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't hide anymore, so she turned around from behind the tree and waved her hand:
"Good afternoon"
He noticed that the piece of stone that gave off mist was hanging from the zombie's hair, giving off waves of energy.
— — -it was the fragment of the Proof of Asura's inheritance.
Seems like I'll have to fight.
Gu Qing Shan gripped the meteor hammer tightly, preparing to attack.
The giant zombie smirked: 「 Creature of the void, you are indeed very strong … but unfortunately … 」
The zombie abruptly shut its mouth.
It opened its large pair of turbid eyes, staring straight at Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Gu Qing Shan followed its gaze.
Only to see that it was staring at the jade ring in her hand.
All of a sudden.
A voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's mind:
"This jade ring — — is yours?"
— — -this was the giant zombie's voice.
"That's right, someone else gave it to me" Gu Qing Shan also sent her voice.
"Who gave it to you?" the giant zombie asked.
"I don't know, it was a paper doll from the Sea of Weapons who gave it to me" Gu Qing Shan truthfully replied.
"… I understand, hit me"
"Ah?"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
"Hurry, while there's no one around, hit me" the giant zombie urged her.
Gu Qing Shan slowly understood what the giant zombie was trying to say.
He swung the meteor hammer — —
Bam!
The meteor hammer flew out, struck the giant zombie's face, then bounced off.
The giant zombie looked at Gu Qing Shan, then at the meteor hammer.
It suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream.
"No! How could there be such a hammer technique, seems like I can only admit defeat — — - "
Boom — -
The giant zombie fell to the ground.
The fragment fell from its head, rolled a few times, then stopped right next to Gu Qing Shan's feet.
"Detestable, I'll remember you, I'll definitely fight you again next time!"
The giant zombie howled as it hugged the towering mountain and fled into the distance step by step.
— — -in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan silently stared at the distance.
What … exactly is going on?
He picked up the fragment from the ground and looked at the jade ring in his hand.
The jade ring was still the same.
As if … there was nothing special about it.
