A transparent black fog covered the entire world.
A rain of fire rained down from the sky.
From the void of space, a hole opened up. Gu Qing Shan flew out while covered in a light barrier.
Under the sky, the sound of fighting caught Gu Qing Shan's attention.
On the hill a few hundred feet away, a sea of demons were trying their best to get to the top.
A few cultivators stood back to back, fighting the demons with everything they had.
A few moments later, another cultivator was dragged out by the demons, screaming as he was eaten alive.
"No! Little brother! "
Among the cultivators, one of them screamed in pain, ran out of the formation and started killing the demons.
However, there was no effect at all. The stimulation of blood made even more demons go crazy, and they rushed towards the hillside in an overwhelming manner.
In just a few breaths' worth of time, that impulsive cultivator was also killed and eaten alive.
There were only 6-7 human cultivators left, like candles in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.
Gu Qing Shan carefully looked at them and muttered: "Seems like these are the troops General Sun Yi left behind, not all dead yet, they're quite capable"
Gu Qing Shan didn't want to watch any longer, so he used his spirit energy to break through the almost transparent light barrier and flew towards a certain direction.
That was the place he chose, not too far from the hill. Since most of the demons were drawn away by the cultivators on the hill, it's still relatively safe.
Landing on solid ground, Gu Qing Shan retracted his spirit energy and held his breath.
— — demons can sense spirit energy waves and breathing, so I have to be careful.
An extremely stinky gust of wind hit him. Gu Qing Shan abruptly dodged and flew back a few feet.
Crack — —
A loud noise came from behind.
A large mouth full of sharp teeth bit the ground, then reluctantly retracted.
As Gu Qing Shan turned around, his heart sank.
A Rotting Eater Demon was crawling forward, like a slowly moving mountain of rotting flesh.
An intense stench came from all over.
This monster eats anything, especially rotting corpses, so after a long time, its body is now giving off a horrible stench.
Under normal circumstances, even other demons would avoid this monster because it was simply too smelly.
The Rotting Eater Demon didn't manage to bite its prey, so it angrily puffed up its cheeks and spat out some mucus, trying to trap its prey in place.
Not only was it difficult to break free from this sticky liquid, but it could also corrode one's flesh and blood. If one was not prepared and got sprayed by it, one's five senses and flesh would vanish into nothingness.
This Rotting Eater Demon's body was emitting a powerful aura, far more powerful than normal Rotting Eater Demons, it had most likely reached the foundation establishment realm.
Its saliva might even be able to corrode bones.
Gu Qing Shan was already prepared for this move. She quickly retreated, barely dodging the spit.
One of the cultivators on the hillside cast a surprised glance at him.
In fact, when Gu Qing Shan appeared in this space, she was immediately sensed by them.
When they discovered that the person who came was only an Aura Refining cultivator, the hope that had just ignited in their hearts was once again shattered.
The cultivators were already in despair, they thought that this brat wouldn't be able to last more than a few breaths of time, but the result was completely unexpected.
Gu Qing Shan was only Aura Refining realm, an entire realm lower than the Rotting Eater Demon, but she was able to predict the enemy's movements and evade its attack. Her performance can be said to be quite impressive.
Seeing its prey evade again, the Rotting Eater Demon was so angry that it wanted to roar again.
Once it makes any noise, it'll attract even more demons.
With Gu Qing Shan's cultivation, if she's surrounded by so many demons, the only thing that awaits her is death.
At the last moment, the Rotting Eater Demon suddenly felt something being stuffed into its mouth.
The Rotting Eater Demon was stunned.
With its brain, it couldn't understand what was going on.
It instinctively opened and closed its mouth, chewing the thing in its mouth.
— — – it feels strange, it's not the kind of food that it likes to eat, but it's still edible.
Hm, the more it eats, the more delicious it feels, it even has some benefits to it.
The food calmed the Rotting Eater Demon down.
But what exactly is this?
The Rotting Eater Demon slowly reached out its claws to pull the thing out of its mouth, wanting to see what it's eating.
It wants to remember this thing, so it can add the same thing to its recipe in the future.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan silently crouched down and slowly retreated out of the Rotting Eater Demon's sight.
Just now, he took out a bunch of snake demon skin and bones, threw them into the demon's mouth.
The Rotting Eater Demon is a monster that can even swallow rocks as food when it's hungry, not to mention a rare demon beast like the snake demon, its skin and bones contain a lot of energy, so it'll definitely be tastier than rocks and rotten corpses.
While the Rotting Eater Demon's attention was attracted by the food, Gu Qing Shan silently escaped.
He hid behind a pile of rocks, carefully observing his surroundings.
There aren't a lot of demons around here, most of them are rushing towards the hill.
On the hill, the battle was getting more and more intense.
6-7 cultivators were surrounded by layers upon layers of demons, unable to advance or retreat.
The cultivators were struggling to survive, so they couldn't help but use all their spirit energy to fight. Even from afar, the spirit energy waves coming from their bodies could still be felt.
After watching for a while, Gu Qing Shan's expression became serious.
"These people are at least Foundation Establishment realm, some are even Golden Core realm"
Whether it's those cultivators or the horde of demons, they're all not something he can handle.
"My cultivation is too low, there are a lot of methods that I can't use, then I can only …"
Just as he was thinking, three to five demons in the surroundings noticed him.
They roared and gathered, using their bodies to push other demons away, afraid that they'll have another competitor for food.
Gu Qing Shan didn't even look at these Foundation Establishment realm demons, only took out a formation plate as he retreated, holding the plate in one hand, using the other to move his spirit energy, quickly hitting the formation plate.
His hands didn't stop as he shouted: "Come this way!"
On the other side, one of the cultivators died, the corpse was eaten by the demons, the remaining ones are in even more danger.
Hearing that, they couldn't help but look over, seeing Gu Qing Shan holding a formation plate, surrounded by light, they couldn't help but be happy.
"A formation plate!"
"A formation user! It's a formation user! "
"That's great, we're saved"
Formation users are extremely rare, every single one of them is treated like a treasure by their sects, why would he appear here by himself?
They don't have time to think about that.
Seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, their spirits were lifted, forcing the demons around them to retreat a few feet.
Under the command of a cultivator, they slowly approached Gu Qing Shan.
The cultivator pointed out two people and ordered: "He's only a qi training realm, you two are fast, go protect him!"
"Yes!"
This formation user is their only hope for survival.
The leader also waved the jade fan in his hand, trying his best to cast a spell.
Groups of demons were turned into ice sculptures under his spell attacks. Even if some of the stronger demons weren't frozen, their movements were slowed down.
Sword cultivators and Blade users rushed forward, their swords flashed, quickly taking the demons' lives.
With such a large-scale spell cast, the Blade user and Sword cultivator moved as fast as lightning, reaching Gu Qing Shan in just a few breaths' worth of time, killing all the demons that tried to get close.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the two of them, his eyes were glued to the swordsman's hand, unable to move away.
That's a sword!
Looking at the sword in the swordsman's hand, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but twitch his fingers.
Ever since his return, Gu Qing Shan can't even remember a single Sword Style. All the Sword Styles that he's learned seem to have been purposely sealed by the System.
He can faintly sense that the System did this to minimize the risk of traveling through time and space, so that he can avoid some terrifying troubles.
Gu Qing Shan can still remember clearly, after his return, the System said "Smuggling Success".
But now that he's been reborn, the mysterious seal on his body still hasn't been lifted.
His instincts are telling him that he needs a sword.
Just like countless years ago, he needs a sword that can kill!
The Foundation Establishment peak realm Sword cultivator noticed Gu Qing Shan's gaze and looked at him strangely.
No, not yet!
Gu Qing Shan held back his impulsive thoughts, turned around, and focused his gaze on the commander.
"So that's how it is, he's awakened the Water Element and reached the second stage, the Frost realm. If it weren't for him, these people would've been dead already "
Gu Qing Shan silently paid attention, then turned to look at the two cultivators at the back.
The two cultivators stood on either side of the commander, attacking with their bare fists and legs, each of their attacks sent a large number of demons flying.
They're martial cultivators, their blood essence is almost solid, the power of Martial Thaumaturgy circulating throughout their bodies.
That's right, they're real Martial Grandmasters, almost at the early stages of Martial Eminence.
Behind them was a horde of demons that was as large as a mountain and as large as a sea.
After a few breaths' worth of time, they've already reached Gu Qing Shan's side, protecting him.
The leading cultivator closed his jade fan and hurriedly asked: "What formation is this? Do you need our protection? "
Everyone looked over.
Setting up a formation takes time, if Gu Qing Shan takes too much time, when everyone can't hold on anymore and the formation still hasn't been set up, it'll become a joke.
Gu Qing Shan shook his head, saying: "I'll be done soon"
He tapped the formation plate and formed a hand seal.
The formation plate that Gongsun Zhi gave him has a few advanced formations attached to it.
Gongsun Zhi taught Gu Qing Shan the specific hand seal to activate the formation plate. Every time a certain formation is activated, spirit energy must be used in conjunction with the corresponding hand seal.
A formation user needs to form hand seals to set up formations, at a glance, Gu Qing Shan really does look like a formation user.
Only a highly skilled formation user like Gongsun Zhi would be able to recognize the hand seal and recognize that he's a fake.
The only flaw is that the formations on the formation plate can only be used a limited number of times, after they're used up, the formation plate is useless.
Now that the situation is dire, and the cultivators here are strangers, Gu Qing Shan might as well pretend to be a formation user for once.
"Water, Wind, Mist, Earth, Dark Sky Escape Formation!"
As Gu Qing Shan infused his spirit energy, the formation plate shines with starlight as deep as the sea, among which there are 4 especially bright lights flickering.
The formation is done!
The strongest escape formation on the formation plate is activated, Gu Qing Shan's spirit energy is reduced by 70%.
The light covers him and the cultivators around him. In a split second, the cultivators all disappeared from the sea of demons.
The countless demons couldn't find their target, so they all screamed and screamed. A few moments later, they all started to fight each other.
The few most terrifying giant demons couldn't hold themselves back after a while, grabbing a few demons and throwing them into their mouths. After chewing for a while, they dragged their giant bodies away.
Their actions immediately extinguished the other demons' morale.
A few moments later, half of the demons have already left.
Inside the escape formation, the cultivators are all lying on the ground, breathing heavily.
