Rain of fire.
The sky was filled with fire, continuously striking the ground far away.
The ground was being melted and pierced by the rain of fire, occasionally trembling.
The demons that couldn't escape in time didn't even leave a speck of dust in the rain of fire.
The demons were chased away by the rain of fire.
Unlike the demons of the cultivation world, the demons here didn't have any killing intent, instead, they were constantly on guard, occasionally looking up at the sky.
This had become their instinct.
On the plains. A human formation.
The demons had temporarily retreated. The cultivators finally had a short break.
At this point, the defensive formation opened up a gap.
The exhausted cultivators were ready for battle.
A golden-armored cultivator with a silver mask strode in.
His attire was that of a You Ji General.
Not a special demon, but one of their own. Everyone sighed in relief.
General-rank cultivators all have a special portable formation on their waist badge, allowing them to bypass large-scale defensive formations and directly enter any military camp.
"General, please show me your badge" a cultivator came forward.
The General took out a badge and infused it with spirit energy.
The badge emitted bursts of spiritual light, forming a few large words in the air.
[You Ji General Gu Qing Shan]
As soon as these words appeared, all the cultivators who noticed this stood up regardless of how tired they were and clasped their fists: "Greetings, General Gu!"
This was a truly respectable person, someone who single-handedly decided the outcome of an entire decisive battle.
Gu Qing Shan nodded in greeting.
He looked around the military camp.
There were a few formation users, the main fighting cultivators were Elemental cultivators, there were also martial artists, but they were all wounded.
There weren't too many people here, this was a small temporary military camp.
"Where's the commander in charge of you all?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"He led a team out to save people" a cultivator answered.
"Hm, I'll rest first" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Please do as you wish" the cultivators replied.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything else, found a clean place to sit down and began to meditate.
After this rest, he planned to rush to Gongsun Zhi's camp as soon as possible without stopping.
Under the protection of Gongsun Zhi's array formation, he would be able to advance to the Golden Core realm and deal with the war with greater strength.
An hour later.
He stood up and strode to the west side of the camp, silently looking out.
The two cultivators in charge of guarding this place asked curiously, "General Gu, what are you looking at?"
"He's here" Gu Qing Shan said.
The two cultivators turned their heads to look.
In the distance outside the camp, billowing smoke was approaching.
A cultivator appeared.
He was wearing the armor of a Zhao Wu Chaplain, one hand covering the bloody hole in his stomach, the other carrying his unconscious comrade as he rushed over.
Behind him, the demons chased after him like a tide.
"It's Li Zhaowu, he's injured!"
"The demons are coming. Get ready!"
The two cultivators on guard hurriedly shouted.
The entire camp immediately began to move.
The cultivators panicked and picked up their weapons, but they didn't know how to help.
The camp's commander was still outside.
"We'll go first" a few Martial cultivators said.
"No, we'll fight the demons first, create a chance, then you can go" the Elemental cultivator said.
Just as they were arguing, they heard a voice that suppressed all the panic.
"Alright, I'm here, there's no need to argue, listen to my orders!"
Everyone went silent.
The one who spoke was the golden-armored Gu Qing Shan.
He was the You Ji General.
His military rank was the highest.
That's right, since the highest commander wasn't here, the highest ranking officer should be the one to give the orders in this emergency.
Everyone stopped and looked at him.
Gu Qing Shan quickly ordered: "Abandon all offensive formations"
"… Yes sir"
The cultivator in charge of the camp's formations hesitated a bit, then gritted his teeth and accepted.
Disobeying orders at a time like this would be punished by military law with beheading.
"Use all your power to activate the defensive formations"
"Formation users, focus on protecting the formations"
"Yes sir"
"Elemental cultivators, line up along the formations, the front and back, follow the orders of the Elemental cultivator commander and prepare your spells, I don't need to explain this"
"Yes sir"
"Martial cultivators, heed my orders, when I raise my sword, all of you go out and cover your commander's return"
"Yes sir!"
The cultivators quickly prepared themselves, but there was still a question in their minds.
He said that when he raises his sword, the Martial cultivators are to save them.
But there are so many demons, what method is he going to use to save their commander with the least amount of losses?
The cultivators' gazes were locked onto Gu Qing Shan, waiting to see what he would do.
But Gu Qing Shan only left an afterimage where he stood and disappeared from their sight.
"Look, he's coming!" someone called out.
The cultivators all turned to look.
A faint golden light quickly flew across the barren wasteland, abruptly crashing into the horde of demons.
"Die for me!"
He shouted like a thunderclap as his entire body fused with the sword in his hand, forming a large crescent moon white sword phantom.
As the arc of the sword phantom swept through, a large number of demons were sliced into mincemeat, scattering with the wind.
Dozens of demons were cut in half at the waist, screaming in pain before they died.
Gu Qing Shan reappeared.
He stood in the middle of the horde of demons, letting a demon's sharp claws hit him.
"Clang!"
There was a crisp sound of impact.
The Golden Armor was unharmed.
Gu Qing Shan swung his sword and sliced the demon in half.
At this point, he had already gone past the wounded Zhao Wu Chaplain.
He raised his sword.
In the military camp, the adepts watched with their blood boiling. When the martial adepts saw the signal, they roared and leaped out, quickly flying towards their own commanders.
Gu Qing Shan had set his title as [You Ji General].
He charged towards the hundreds of thousands of demons.
The sword let out a hissing sound in the air, slicing the air and the demons into pieces.
Not a single one of them was a match for him.
All of a sudden, a monster as tall as 5 people jumped out of the crowd, screaming as it charged towards Gu Qing Shan.
Wherever it went, the ground trembled, the demons all moved away.
This was a giant demon that was as strong as a Golden Core realm cultivator.
"I've been waiting for you for so long" Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice.
Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]
A second later, he was already standing on the demon's shoulder, putting his hand on the demon's neck.
[Stiffen] activated. The giant demon's body started to twitch.
Gu Qing Shan held the Earth Sword, lightly pressed it against the demon's soft throat and pulled.
A slash of 60,000 tons.
The giant demon's head flew up into the air, blood spurting out from its neck like a fountain.
The headless body fell to the ground.
Gu Qing Shan jumped down from the demon's body, raised his sword and slashed at the horde of demons.
Secret Art, [Water Flow Severance]!
Dong dong dong dong dong!
Sharp sword phantoms flew into the horde of demons, exploding and raining blood all over the place.
Gu Qing Shan swung his sword again, charging into the horde of demons.
Behind him, the Martial cultivators had already saved their commander and were retreating.
Due to Gu Qing Shan's interference, the demons that were chasing after them had already distanced themselves from the Martial cultivators. The Elemental cultivators who were already prepared for this were bombarded with spells one after another, smashing them to pieces.
While Gu Qing Shan slaughtered his way through the horde of demons, he calmly turned around and headed back to the human camp.
The demons were cowering behind him, howling in pain from the Elemental spells that came at them.
In front of them was the defensive array formation of the human race. This was a very hard bone to chew.
Not to mention, there was still this God of Death sword cultivator in front of them.
In the end, the demons could only reluctantly retreat in panic.
It was now that Gu Qing Shan relaxed a bit and looked at the War God UI.
Just now, the UI had been glowing a bit.
[You've perfectly performed three instant kills, all of them were enemies with a higher cultivation than yourself]
[You've completed three instant kills while being weaker than yourself, Hitman Title will soon be unlocked]
[This Title is a rare Title, unlocking it requires 50 Soul Points]
Reading these notifications, Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
The last time she entered the cultivation world, she killed Leng Tian Xing's spirit beast demon butterfly with a single strike, then instantly killed the Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane. At the time, there was a notification saying that by completing three instant kills while being weaker than yourself, the corresponding Title will be unlocked.
