Gu Qing Shan stood in the middle of the dust and silently sighed.
— — -is that even possible?
I was hiding so well, but I still managed to sense the summoning.
Of course, summoning is a matter of mutual consent, so if I refuse, the other party's technique would fail.
If I followed my original plan, I shouldn't have accepted this summoning.
But seeing the man's pitiful state and unwillingness, Gu Qing Shan still took his sword and answered the summoning.
Within the dust.
"Shannu, remember this"
He held the Chao Yin sword and muttered behind him.
As soon as the man and woman heard his voice, they both attacked without hesitation!
Don't be ridiculous, Wang Cheng was a Devil Summoner.
Although I don't know why his summoning technique was able to succeed, at the very last moment of his life, he sacrificed everything, including his soul, to summon.
To pay such a heavy price, the devil he summoned must be extremely powerful!
The man and woman both used everything they had to unleash their strongest attacks into the dust.
But before they could unleash their techniques, they abruptly stopped.
The two of them froze in place, unable to even move.
It was as if their souls had left their bodies, unable to control their own bodies.
— — because Gu Qing Shan's sword moved.
The Chao Yin sword swung without any killing intent.
This strike was casual and light, there wasn't even a sword phantom attached to it, as if a person was trying out their own sword technique without any killing intent.
If there was anything special about this strike, it would be its speed.
Extremely fast.
Unfortunately, this strike was still quite a distance away from the other party, so no matter how fast it was, it couldn't even touch a hair on the other party's body.
— — -but it was this strike that caused the man and woman to be unable to move at all.
Gu Qing Shan swung his sword again.
This strike was different.
The sword phantom condensed into a line and slashed forward with a 'sha'.
Two heads flew into the air.
The corpses fell.
Before the battle even started, it was already over.
Gu Qing Shan put his sword away.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword appeared from the void of space behind him.
Shannu was a bit embarrassed: "Gongzi, I didn't understand, was that [Severance] just now?"
[Severance] was Gu Qing Shan's lightning sacred art. Anyone struck by it would have their consciousness separated from their body until three seconds later.
This was an upgraded divine ability that could cause one to lose control and stiffen up. No living creature would be immune to it.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said: "Not only [Severance], take a look again"
He swung the Chao Yin sword again.
This time, he slowed down so that Shannu could clearly see his movements.
Shannu seriously read through it and exclaimed: "I understand now, this is a Secret Art with [Severance] attached to it, [Life Seeker]!"
"Correct."
Gu Qing Shan said.
Secret Art: [Life Seeker], when you are within ten feet of the enemy, you can slash through the air.
Note: This Secret Art can only be activated within ten feet.
Note: This Secret Art can be activated together with other Secret Arts.
The three of them were standing very close to each other.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan was summoned, she was already within ten feet of him.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan had two choices.
One was to activate [Life Seeker] and attack first.
The other was to be cautious and use [Severance] to restrain her so that she couldn't resist, then kill her in one strike.
Gu Qing Shan chose the second strategy.
To be able to set up such a meticulous trap to kill Wang Cheng in one fell swoop, this meant that they had both thought and means.
Not to mention, Gu Qing Shan had seen the giant encyclopedia of Professions with his own eyes back in the Profession Affairs department, so he understood that in the infinite worlds, there were countless Professions with countless methods that couldn't be guarded against.
In that split second, he decided to restrain her first.
Shannu thought for a bit and asked in surprise: "Gongzi, if that's the case, wouldn't all enemies within ten feet of me be hit by [Severance] whenever I use [Life Seeker]?"
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "Unless the enemy knows the ability of [Life Seeker], or their innate spirit sense is especially outstanding and can sense that they're about to die, they wouldn't be able to avoid the fusion of [Severance] and [Life Seeker]"
Shannu muttered: "In other words …"
"Yes, as soon as an enemy gets within ten feet of me, as long as I use my sword, they'll be easily restrained by [Severance]" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Shannu froze, then fell silent.
She was silently digesting the impact of this Secret Art.
From now on, the way gongzi and I fight will go through a drastic change.
No wonder gongzi told me to seriously observe this attack.
No wonder Xie Dao Ling specifically exchanged this Secret Art with someone else.
Now that I think about it, when Gu Qing Shan awakened her Lightning Thaumaturgy, Xie Dao Ling must have kept it in mind.
— — even though Xie Dao Ling didn't know that Gu Qing Shan's Lightning Thaumaturgy had evolved twice, from [Berserk] to [Severance], she had always been silently searching for a suitable swordsmanship for her disciple.
With a Lightning controlling Thaumaturgy, this Secret Art was almost specifically made for Gu Qing Shan!
This is the true meaning of [Soul Seeker] within ten feet!
Shannu silently thought about how she should fight from now on.
Gu Qing Shan had already put the Chao Yin sword away and crouched down to carefully check Wang Cheng's body.
Wang Cheng's bloodshot eyes were still wide open, his expression full of pain and unwillingness.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed and shook her head: "What a rash fellow, I've already done what you promised me"
Following these words, a grey rune suddenly appeared on Wang Cheng's corpse.
This rune silently fell into Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[First rule of summoning: Fair trade]
[Fair trade refers to Party A, who signed the summoning contract, recognizing the results of Party B's labor, while Party B also recognizes the compensation paid by Party A]
[This summoning satisfies the above conditions]
[Now, pay the Huang Quan Devil King's labor]
[Wang Cheng's Life Soul Rune: This rune contains all of Wang Cheng's experience, knowledge, skills, wealth, as well as the Soul Points of his soul]
[You may now absorb this rune]
Gu Qing Shan lightly tapped the rune.
Instantly, countless images appeared in his mind.
It felt like a long time, but it was actually very short. In just a single breath's worth of time, Gu Qing Shan had grasped a lot of things out of thin air.
His Soul Points had also increased quite a bit.
Originally, after obtaining God Institute's Divine Bell and learning God Institute's [Miracle Search], he only had 86,000 Soul Points left.
After that, he learned the Blade, Archery, Martial Arts, and Spirit Cooking Skills, as well as using [Mystery of All Beings Equal]. Even though he was only turning into small animals like ants and skylarks, he still needed Soul Points.
Just like that, his Soul Points dropped to around 70,000.
Wang Cheng, the Devil Summoner, had directly given him 3000 Soul Points!
Just like that, Gu Qing Shan's Soul Points was replenished again, stabilizing at around 73,000.
Furthermore — —
Gu Qing Shan raised his hand.
A grey shadow appeared from his hand.
This was the Devil's Contract.
After receiving Wang Cheng's gift, Gu Qing Shan actually learned the Devil Summoning technique!
Gu Qing Shan looked at his Soul Points, then at the grey shadow in his hand and couldn't help but exclaim: "No wonder even the evil creatures were willing to answer the summoning, this is basically a windfall that fell from the sky"
All of a sudden, a faint noise could be heard from above the wreck of the ship.
Someone was coming.
Shannu hurriedly asked: "Gongzi, what do we do now?"
"Hm? Hm … "
Gu Qing Shan replied and stopped the Devil Summoning technique.
He crouched down in front of Wang Cheng's corpse and spoke apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'll probably have to take something else from you"
Under Shannu's gaze, Gu Qing Shan plucked a strand of hair from Wang Cheng's head.
Holding the strand of hair, he activated [Mystery of All Beings Equal].
