From the looks of it, this unfamiliar cultivator is a sword cultivator.
When the cultivators behind him saw him pressing his hand on his sword, they immediately understood what he meant.
The unfamiliar cultivator still smiled warmly and spoke: "We are — — -"
Something happened.
A blinding golden light suddenly appeared in the middle of their group.
In a split second, a vast amount of sword qi exploded.
Countless black sword images bloomed like a lotus, weaving through the group of people.
Each of the black sword shadows carried the Earth Sword's 86,370,000 tons of force.
Combined with Gu Qing Shan's [Ground Shrink] Divine Skill, the unfamiliar cultivators couldn't even react in time.
No matter how strong they were, being attacked by a sword cultivator within 5 steps of them, not to mention the full power of the Earth sword, there was no way for them to survive.
In less than a breath's worth of time, Gu Qing Shan had killed 7 people with a single strike.
"Damn it! Attack! "The unfamiliar cultivator who was the leader of the group shouted.
"Kill them!" Ning Yuechan only froze for a split second before she drew her Blade and shouted.
The cultivators on both sides were experienced fighters, so as soon as they gave the order, they attacked the other side without hesitation.
The unfamiliar cultivator drew his sword and faced Gu Qing Shan.
His sword was very fast, and his attacks were also very strange.
A sword coiled around, avoided Gu Qing Shan's attack, and went through a gap in Gu Qing Shan's attack.
The hand seal was activated.
Thousands of sword phantoms turned into a raging flood, striking Gu Qing Shan.
Clang clang clang clang clang clang!
In a split second, Gu Qing Shan was hit by countless sword phantoms, his golden armor was being struck by the flood of sword phantoms.
Gu Qing Shan only had time to pull his sword back to protect his vitals before he was sent flying a few dozen feet.
The golden light was sent flying.
He crashed into the wall behind the temple, coughed up blood, and fell down.
The power of that sword was truly ferocious.
If Gu Qing Shan wasn't wearing his general armor, he would've already died.
Looking down, he saw that the light golden armor had become full of holes.
Gu Qing Shan fell to the ground in a sorry state. She used her sword to support her body.
"Such a Secret Art … how powerful …" he breathed heavily.
On the other side, the unfamiliar swordsman stood motionless. His longsword maintained its forward posture and did not give chase.
"This move of yours, is it Swallow Return?" the unfamiliar sword cultivator asked.
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The unfamiliar sword cultivator sighed and spoke dejectedly: "So this is the Return of the Swallow, I've searched many worlds but couldn't find it, only to meet it like this today"
Bang!
A thick mist of blood gushed out from his back. The unfamiliar sword cultivator fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
He's dead.
Secret Art [Swallow Returns], when a Sword Cultivator attacks, there will be a similar attack from behind.
Two notifications popped up on the War God UI.
"Killed a sword cultivator of the late Nascent Soul stage."
"Determined instant kill, Spiritual Energy returned."
"Soul Points + 100"
Gu Qing Shan stood up, didn't even bother to take a Healing Pill and rushed towards the crowd again.
In such a narrow space, a Sword Cultivator's damage is the most terrifying.
And after the unfamiliar sword cultivator died, the only sword cultivator left was Gu Qing Shan.
He had to quickly join the fray.
Gu Qing Shan's body moved and landed next to an unfamiliar Spell cultivator who was forming a hand seal.
A sword phantom flashed. Gu Qing Shan disappeared.
The unfamiliar Spell cultivator screamed in pain.
His hand that was forming a hand seal was cut off and fell to the ground.
A 5-Elemental spell was cast in time to take the unfamiliar Spell cultivator's life.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had already made it to the other side of the battlefield.
He turned into a white crescent sword phantom and cut an unfamiliar Spell cultivator in half at the waist.
As an Ascended realm Blade user, Ning Yuechan was also suited to fighting in this kind of environment.
She wore the blood-red Ding Yuan General armor, rampaging through the crowd, every time her Blade fell, the enemy would die.
The battle quickly ended with one side being completely wiped out.
This was a battle that started because of Gu Qing Shan's sudden attack.
He took the initiative to attack first, so no one on Ning Yuechan's side died, only a few were injured.
The battle started, then ended just as quickly.
Everyone was breathing heavily, still in a state of shock.
"Why did you suddenly attack? I think everyone needs an explanation "Ning Yuechan looked at Gu Qing Shan and said.
The cultivators all looked over.
In the military, if you act without orders, you'll be beheaded in the most serious cases.
"Do you know them?" Gu Qing Shan calmly asked.
"I don't" Ning Yuechan answered.
"Have you ever seen them dressed up like that?"
"I haven't"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "Perhaps we can collect the spoils of war first, that way we'll be more convincing"
Ning Yuechan looked at him, then finally nodded: "… Alright"
The cultivators began to collect the weapons and items from the corpses on the ground.
Finally, they found a small flag on the unknown sword cultivator's body.
The flag had a large "Order" character written on it.
Someone tried to use spirit energy to activate the flag.
Immediately, a dignified voice came from the flag.
"Order: Direct disciple Zhang Hong Chi will lead the 5th squad of cultivators to search for treasures in the Tool Spirit world"
"Aside from the mission, there is no need to investigate the origins of living beings from other worlds"
"This matter has already been decided by the sect, do not interfere"
"But if you run into living beings from other worlds, you may kill or capture them. If they are beautiful women, they may serve as maids for the disciples; if they are strong enough, they may also be kept alive and brought back to be slaves in the mines, other than that, you may kill them "
The great cultivators all opened their eyes wide.
"They are cultivators from another world!" an Ascended realm cultivator muttered in a daze.
"Ascended realm, only a Direct disciple" another cultivator muttered.
In the cultivation world, an Ascended realm cultivator is enough to become a sect master, or establish their own sect.
But on the other side, this is only a disciple.
What were the realms of their elders and Sect Masters?
Everyone couldn't help but think about it, feeling a chill in their hearts.
This time, he was completely caught off guard.
Who would've thought that they would run into people from another world in this ruin?
The order from the flag revealed a terrifying piece of information.
They will definitely act against us!
Most likely, they only ambushed us after making us lower our guard.
And there's something even more terrifying.
— — -they already have a plan for the cultivation world.
Everyone calmed themselves down and nodded to greet Gu Qing Shan.
Ning Yuechan also sighed in relief.
Since the other side had hidden ill intentions, then Gu Qing Shan's killing spree from before can no longer be considered as acting on her own.
This could be considered as anticipating the enemy's actions, successfully preventing the entire squad from losing members.
Ning Yuechan scowled and asked: "Qing Shan, did you know about this beforehand?"
"No, I didn't"
Hearing what the flag said, Gu Qing Shan smiled, but there was an indescribable bitterness in it.
"Then why did you attack as soon as you saw them?" Leng Tian Xing asked.
"Ever since I came to Shen Wu world, I've been following a lot of clues and deductions"
"What I saw today made me even more certain that my deductions were correct"
Gu Qing Shan's eyes were full of memories and confusion.
His eyes seemed to be able to see through the void of space, looking outside of Shen Wu world.
Various eerie events in the past life.
This time, the bronze pillar and the giant corpse that he met by chance.
The three figures that appeared out of thin air in the video.
There wasn't a single living person in Shen Wu world, only countless weapon spirits.
Most importantly, the omen of death for the Hundred Flowers Fairy.
Thinking that, the confusion in Gu Qing Shan's eyes disappeared.
He once again became decisive and full of killing intent.
"Tell us what you think" Leng Tian Xing patted his shoulder and said.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
This has to be explained clearly, to prevent anyone from taking any chances.
He organized his words, then said: "Between us and them, only one side can survive"
Everyone went silent.
Thinking about what happened just now, quite a few of them felt uneasy.
"Why do you think that?" Ning Yuechan asked with a pale face.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then explained his point of view in a way that cultivators can understand.
He didn't think that what he said today would be passed down to the next generation, becoming one of the most famous theories in history.
"Let's take a world as an example"
Gu Qing Shan said.
"There are only so many resources in a world. Whoever occupies more resources will have the qualifications to become stronger."
"Then one day, if two worlds meet, what would happen?"
"Even those loose cultivators are constantly fighting for resources and treasures, let alone two unfamiliar civilizations"
"They both want to take the other's resources and treasures very much"
"Because of this, when two civilizations meet, they definitely won't think that the other side has good intentions"
"When two civilizations meet, the most likely outcome would be a battle to the death"
Gu Qing Shan finally expressed his opinion.
"Furthermore, if there are infinite worlds and countless civilizations, then any civilization that reveals its existence will be destroyed very quickly."
"All the civilizations hiding in the dark will loot and slaughter the civilizations that are exposed."
"This is to steal the resources they need"
"And to prevent that exposed civilization from continuing to develop and become a threat to themselves in the future …"
