Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the horizon.
"You dared to kill your way into Primal Chaos … this time, I've obtained enough power, I definitely won't let you go …"
He lightly muttered, wielding the sword in one hand while swinging the Hand of Destruction with the other.
In a split second, the Senluo Sword Realm opened up and took in the entire Dark Continent.
An angry insect's chirp could be heard.
"A Phase World?"
Gu Qing Shan turned her hand to hide the Hand of Destruction and the Delimitation sword behind her back, asking in a low voice: "If I use the Sword Realm to take in the Dark Continent, will there be a problem?"
The Hand of Destruction replied: [Normally not, because the Dark Continent must be connected to Primal Chaos, constantly absorbing the power of Primal Chaos to suppress all Eras — — but as the master of the Dark Continent, as well as an Apostle of Primal Chaos, you can just barely keep it isolated in another Phase World for about 15 minutes]
The Delimitation sword replied: [I'll have to use my full strength to open the Sword Realm, so I'm afraid you won't be able to wield me in battle]
"It's fine" Gu Qing Shan replied.
— — -a ferocious figure appeared from the fog ahead.
The nine-faced Insect Demon!
It stopped in the void of space for a few moments, then suddenly looked at Gu Qing Shan:
「 Do you think that I won't be able to find you just because you borrowed the power of the Darkness Faction?
」 "Of course not, after all, your strength is undeniable. I think we'll have to fight first before anything else" Gu Qing Shan dispersed the darkness around her body, walking step by step towards the other party.
The two of them got closer.
The nine-faced Insect Demon calmed down, its nine faces stared closely at Gu Qing Shan, then muttered: 「 Who would've thought, you were able to obtain the King of Eternal Destruction identity — — seems like I'll have to leave you here today 」
Gu Qing Shan's footsteps stopped, then continued: "You've been trying your best to avoid me, turning to kill the other weaker me — — - but it seems you still haven't succeeded"
「 It's not that easy to pierce through history and directly arrive at that era 」 the nine-faced Insect Demon coldly replied.
Gu Qing Shan smiled, then continued walking towards the other party: "So you're still thinking of ways to bully the weak — — - but do you dare to fight against this version of me?"
The distance between them narrowed.
Nine-faced Insect Demon spoke emotionlessly: "We always choose the most efficient method, it's not that we're afraid of you, Gu Qing Shan"
Gu Qing Shan nodded and praised, "That makes sense. I admire your style of doing things."
Nine-faced Insect Demon's tone softened as he said sincerely, "Then join us, I will definitely arrange a rather honorable position for you, what do you think?"
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "Since you've invited me so warmly —"
He suddenly disappeared, turning into a boundless sword ray that filled all directions.
On the other side, the Nine-Faced Insect Demon also unleashed a strange insect-shaped spell technique.
The two of them attacked at the same time!
The void was directly cut open by the sword gleam, revealing countless strange phenomena.
The sword light flickered, twisting and turning, bypassing the insect-shaped spell and striking the Nine-faced Insect Demon.
Gu Qing Shan reappeared, turned around and swung her sword again.
The Nine-faced Insect Demon was slashed by these two extremely fast swords, its body completely disintegrating, peeling off into fine powder, scattering into the fog along with the cold wind.
There was silence all around.
Gu Qing Shan maintained her vigilance.
Suddenly, an insect's voice resounded: "I must say, I've never seen anyone who could use swordsmanship to such a degree, how regretful — — -"
Gu Qing Shan turned around.
Only to see the Nine-faced Insect Demon standing in the middle of countless spinning runes with only a single shallow wound on its body.
It lightly tapped the runes.
All the runes were activated, revealing a bottomless world of ice.
Several long limbs reached out from the Nine-faced Insect Demon's back, lightly hooking into that world and pulled out five corpses.
Gu Qing Shan squinted her eyes to see that they were five cultivators.
The Nine-faced Insect Demon uttered a mystical insect language.
The five corpses came back to life.
They knelt in front of the Nine-faced Insect Demon without saying a single word.
"They were all former Saints of the Age of Desolation, when I demonized them, I noticed their potential and directly turned them into my collection" the Nine-faced Insect Demon replied.
"Your way of doing things is very similar to those demons from the depths of hell — — are you interested in staying in hell for a while? I'll take care of your lodging "Gu Qing Shan invited.
"Go!"
The Nine-faced Insect Demon shouted.
The five corpses slowly stood up, lightly moved, then turned into streaks of light that shot towards Gu Qing Shan.
In a split second, Gu Qing Shan disappeared from the void of space.
His entire body turned into a boundless world of sword phantoms, making it impossible for the five Saints to escape.
The sound of an intense clash resounded.
While the five corpses were flying, their armor, flesh, and hair had already been cut off by the boundless sword phantoms, leaving only their skeletons.
All the light shrunk into a single point and returned to Gu Qing Shan.
"Disperse" he muttered.
The five skeletons froze in midair, then turned into ash, becoming a part of the endless fog.
The Nine-faced Insect Demon silently watched this and pondered: "I've already studied your abilities — — it seems your swordsmanship has changed again"
"Everyone has to improve" Gu Qing Shan replied.
His body was almost illusory as he turned into a sword phantom, ready to unleash an unstoppable slash at any time.
The Nine-faced Insect Demon scoffed: "But swordsmanship is only swordsmanship, my technique — — -"
It abruptly stopped.
Gu Qing Shan didn't listen to it at all and once again turned into boundless sword phantoms that spread from every direction.
The Nine-faced Insect Demon shouted in a low voice: "King of Incantations, Reverse Technique!"
Among its nine faces, one of them moved, emitting the high-pitched cry of an insect.
In a split second, all the sword phantoms disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan appeared in midair with an expression of pain on his face, his entire body trembling.
Insect limbs began to grow from his body.
The Nine-faced Insect Demon smirked: "No matter how I think about it, the sure-hit Evil Nullification technique is still the most suitable to kill you — — very well, I'll let you die under this most powerful technique"
Its other faces began to give off insect cries at the same time.
At once, the sound of insect cries resounded through the fog of the void.
Gu Qing Shan struggled for a few moments, then abruptly put his hand on himself.
The true power of the four Saint Pillars, [Oceanic Life]!
— — -he directly gave himself a new property:
"Unaffected by any insect magic technique"
The sword phantoms rose again!
The boundless sword phantoms pierced through the Nine-faced Insect Demon's body, twisted it in the air, and sliced it into countless fine fragments.
All the light once again gathered and turned into Gu Qing Shan.
He looked at the void of space — —
But there were no notifications from the void of space.
The Nine-faced Insect Demon was still alive!
Gu Qing Shan's expression turned serious as she looked into the thick fog.
Only to see a cocoon floating in the faraway void of space — —
The Nine-faced Insect Demon tore open the cocoon and appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan again.
"The power of the four Saint Pillars … you've become very familiar with it, you truly are a great thorn in our side" the Nine-faced Insect Demon spoke with a gloomy tone.
"You were clearly dead just now" Gu Qing Shan pondered.
Unfortunately, the Earth sword wasn't here, otherwise, it would've been reduced to ash with a single swing.
The Nine-faced Insect Demon stopped and sighed with a hint of playfulness:
「『Gu Qing Shan, oh Gu Qing Shan, you've been tricked, I've actually been urging you to use your full strength 」』
"Why did you do that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「『Because I wanted you to die under your own attack, that would be the most suitable way for you to die — — it would forever mock you 」』
The Nine-faced Insect Demon's third face lightly moved, opened its mouth, and spat out a Card.
This Card depicted a man stabbing himself in the chest with a dagger.
The Nine-faced Insect Demon received the Card and threw it towards Gu Qing Shan.
Instantly, the Card vanished.
Before Gu Qing Shan could make any preparations, she vanished together with the Card.
…
Heaven and earth were spinning.
A second later.
Gu Qing Shan appeared in the middle of the void of space filled with dense fog.
There were flashing sword phantoms all around him, as if preparing to attack.
A line of glowing text quickly popped up:
[Attention!]
[You've been struck by the strongest Card of the Insect King Deck]
[All of the attacks that the Nine-faced Insect Demon had endured will appear, attempting to kill you]
[If you die, the Nine-faced Insect Demon's resurrection will not require any cost, it will be declared through your death]
[If you survive, its resurrection will not be valid]
Flashing sword phantoms manifested from the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and carefully observed these sword phantoms.
— — -sure enough, they were the full-powered attacks he used to kill the Nine-faced Insect Demon.
Tch.
So the Nine-faced Insect Demon was hiding such a trump card.
How sly.
Gu Qing Shan slowly thought. Boundless darkness manifested behind him, enveloped him, and vanished from the fog of the void.
The sword phantoms swung back and forth in the void of space for a while, but couldn't find their target, so they slowly faded away.
— — -against an evil demon, for the sake of caution, he was only probing it from the very beginning, holding back with each of his attacks, ready to save himself at any time.
Not to mention, the evil demon's power is too unpredictable.
If I can fight it for a while longer, I might be able to learn something from it.
If that's the case, I'll have to deal with my own probing — — -
It didn't take much effort.
A few moments later, the world turned upside down again.
Gu Qing Shan abruptly appeared in front of the Nine-faced Insect Demon, turned into a streak of light, and slashed it.
As the Nine-faced Insect Demon was about to block, its body froze and froze in place.
Instantly, the sword phantoms erupted, slashing it from head to tail again.
The Nine-faced Insect Demon's corpse turned into dust and scattered in the void of space.
Gu Qing Shan waited for a few moments.
— — there was still no notification, nor did the golden waterfall appear.
Still not dead?
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then clapped: "How impressive, to be able to survive several times under my sword, your ability to avoid death is truly unheard of"
From the depths of the fog, a surprised voice resounded:
"Gu Qing Shan, that sword strike of yours just now … was it fused with a fist technique?"
Gu Qing Shan casually smiled and admitted: "That is indeed the case. I've mastered all Laws, so any offensive technique can be manifested as sword phantoms"
From the fog, the Nine-faced Insect Demon's solemn voice resounded: "So … to be able to reach such a level, I've truly never heard of such a swordsmanship before …"
Gu Qing Shan crossed his arms: "Hah, if you want to surrender, you should do it now, otherwise, I won't be merciful next time"
His gaze passed through the void of space, completely ignoring the line of glowing text that appeared on the War God UI just now:
[You've activated Oceanic Order]
[Borrowing the power of Oceanic Order, your sword phantoms can temporarily carry the power of a fist technique]
[Only this once]
