Gu Qing Shan was a bit nervous.
Ilya was the famous Bramble Bird General for many years, her strength was unparalleled.
However, there were too many Entropy Ghosts surrounding Tidal city, and the ghost army numbered in the millions, so she was wounded while defending the city.
If she really wants to beat me up …
I can only use my Divine Skill to escape.
Having made up her mind, Gu Qing Shan stood still and waited.
A few moments later, Ilya appeared again.
"Your pill was a great thing, my wounds have healed a lot" she praised him.
Gu Qing Shan nodded in agreement.
Indeed, in the cultivation world, individual strength wasn't that great.
— — especially after seeing the Combatants of the 900 million World Layers, Gu Qing Shan understood this very well.
But the reason why the cultivation world was able to last for 10 years under the frenzied attacks of the demons was because of the 6 arts.
Divination, formations, pills, smithing, talismans, cooking.
The power of civilization was gathered here. They were created by humanity, and became the foundation for humanity to move forward.
"We can go now to see what the ghost army is up to" Ilya said.
"Yes, that's what I was thinking as well" Gu Qing Shan replied.
But he didn't leave right away and instead summoned a sword.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword.
The glittering sword circled once in the air before turning back into Shannu.
"Gongzi, is there something you need from me?" Shannu asked.
"If the Entropy Ghosts attack and the others can't stop them, you can stay here and watch over Lola"
"Understood"
"If anything happens, you have to contact me with your inner sight right away, I'll allow you to use all of my skills"
"Understood, I'll be careful" Shannu replied.
Gu Qing Shan finally calmed down a bit.
The flying sword and its owner have a connection through inner sight, so even if something happens, Shannu would be able to temporarily take care of it for me.
And with a Divine Skill like [Ground Shrink], Gu Qing Shan would be able to return very quickly if he wanted to.
When Ilya saw how meticulous he was, she secretly nodded her head.
"Alright, let's go" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Alright," Ilya said.
The two of them flew over the city wall one after the other, heading in the direction where the Demonic Ghosts retreated.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a moment and decided not to take out the flying boat.
Ilya didn't summon any mounts because she was investigating the situation and had to pay attention to concealment at all times.
Under the cover of the night, the two of them flew close to the ground of the plains.
They only slowed down when they reached the edge of the plain.
This was where the demonic ghosts gathered, and were then driven away by Gu Qing Shan.
The ground was littered with all sorts of messy marks.
"What do you think they will do next?" Ilya asked.
"I'm not sure. I haven't had much contact with Demonic Ghosts, so I don't understand them."
Gu Qing Shan answered honestly.
As a special type of Chaos Demon Lord, Entropy Ghosts have the ability to pierce through everything.
After entering this world, they can split themselves into hundreds and thousands of Huang Quan Demonic Ghosts, or use summoning techniques to summon Demonic Ghosts from the outside world.
This was the first time Gu Qing Shan had ever seen such a unique monster with such a unique ability.
Ilya sighed and said: "This is also the first time I've seen so many Samsara Daemons, it seems we need to find them to figure out their next move"
She took out a pair of long daggers that gave off frigid cold mist from behind her back.
Gu Qing Shan also grabbed the Chao Yin sword from the void of space.
Ilya stared closely at the Chao Yin sword.
"Lola said that you have three Legendary-grade swords, she's always wanted them"
According to the Mystic Zones' classification of artifacts, they were divided into 4 ranks: Wondrous, Epic, Legendary, and Divine.
Wondrous artifacts are only decent in the eyes of the Bramble Birds, but in other worlds, they're already top-notch magical artifacts.
An Epic item was a treasure that everyone yearned for no matter what world they were in.
But the Earth sword, Chao Yin sword, and Six Paths Great Mountain sword were judged by Lola to be Legendary-grade.
That's why whenever Gu Qing Shan took out a sword to use, Lola would always stare at it with drool dripping from her mouth.
"Ah, that's right, she even wanted to give me something else in exchange, but these three swords are my livelihood, I can't give them to her" Gu Qing Shan smiled and said.
"Then you need to be careful, these swords are very easy to attract greedy people" Ilya warned her.
"I understand"
Ilya's tone changed and said: "Next, we'll have to infiltrate the enemy's camp, but since neither of us knows how strong the other is, it'll be hard for us to cooperate"
"What do you mean?"
"How about we spar a bit, that way we can get to know each other better" Ilya suggested.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her in surprise, her mind quickly turning.
Ilya was the Bramble Bird Kingdom's General of War, one of the two strongest people in the Bramble Bird Kingdom along with Triste.
With her strength, she could be considered a decent expert even among the worlds.
But now, she wants to spar with me.
This …
It seemed like that pill had taken effect …
"How could I possibly win against you?" Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly and continued: "We're here to scout the enemy's situation, let's talk about sparring later"
"Just a bit, don't worry, we'll only exchange 10 strikes, after that, I'll stop"
Ilya looked at Gu Qing Shan and continued: "Don't worry, I'll suppress my strength to around the same level as you"
Saying so, her presence slowly retracted until her power fluctuation was about the same as Gu Qing Shan's.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Seems like I have no choice but to fight.
He thought for a bit and said: "If you suppress your strength to around the same level as me, there might be a bit of a problem"
"What problem? Do you want me to suppress my strength even lower? "Ilya glared at him and asked.
"That won't be necessary, I just feel like you'll be at a disadvantage" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Ilya looked at him and slowly smiled.
"Say that again if you can take 10 strikes from me"
As soon as she said so, she swung her daggers and charged forward.
The daggers were nimble and unpredictable, almost as if they could pierce a hole through Gu Qing Shan's body at any moment.
Miraculously, when Ilya swung her daggers, her entire body seemed to have entered some sort of mystical rhythm.
Her movements became difficult to determine direction, and difficult to determine speed.
Gu Qing Shan praised her, feeling like her vision had been broadened.
Using techniques to conceal her movements, then using her movements to launch attacks, this was a perfect fit for a dagger's offensive characteristics, as well as the Assassin's slyness.
Even though Ilya had restrained her own strength, it was still not enough.
Her fighting skills and experience hadn't been reduced at all.
Gu Qing Shan decided to take a few steps back and carefully observed.
Ilya didn't use any special techniques or spells, only using her daggers to attack.
… without any killing intent.
Seems like she still knows her limits.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't really use any Secret Arts or other special sword styles.
Seeing him continuously retreating, Ilya couldn't help but stop and spoke in dissatisfaction: "Do you only know how to retreat? I've already suppressed my strength, yet you don't even dare to spar? "
Gu Qing Shan smiled and stepped forward with her sword in hand.
In a split second, the sword and dagger clashed, neither side giving way to the other, leaving behind indistinguishable afterimages.
Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!
In the blink of an eye, 10 strikes had passed.
The sword pressed against the daggers and shook.
Ilya was pushed back along with her daggers, retreating 7-8 steps before regaining her balance.
She looked at Gu Qing Shan in surprise: "Seems like you're quite skilled"
— — -how many strikes did he find out my weakness?
Could it be the 10th strike?
No, I need to confirm it again.
Ilya made up her mind and abruptly increased her presence.
Gu Qing Shan immediately sensed it.
The power she was exuding had far surpassed Sainted realm.
Looking back at Ilya, she saw that she was eager to spar.
That's right, normal battles are all about life and death, who would suppress their cultivation just to spar with their swords?
This is a good chance to learn from her.
Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan swung her sword: "Again?"
"Again!"
Ilya disappeared and reappeared behind Gu Qing Shan.
She wielded her dagger, drawing a cold gleam of light.
Clang!
Gu Qing Shan blocked it with her sword and moved away.
"Trying to run?" Ilya smirked and chased after her.
The two of them moved back and forth in a confined space, occasionally the sound of weapons clashing could be heard.
After 30 strikes, Gu Qing Shan's sword once again pressed against her dagger and pushed.
