What is a sword?
A sword is a weapon for killing.
What kind of person is Gu Qing Shan?
He used to be a cook, a general, an expert in archery, spells, martial arts, etc. He's quite proficient in formations, knows how to build Mobile Mechs, and is an expert in acting.
Although he has a lot of skills, when he wields a sword, he only has a single identity.
He is a sword cultivator.
In the past, when Gu Qing Shan killed people in Triste's collection world, the Lord Of Blood had used the [Phantom Trace] technique to personally observe his fighting style.
The Lord Of Blood told Su Cher that Gu Qing Shan is an unreasonable person.
— — -this isn't to say that he's an unreasonable person.
In truth, Gu Qing Shan is more than willing to listen to other people's opinions, as long as they're reasonable.
This is referring to the fact that in a battle of life and death, no matter how capable you are, as soon as Gu Qing Shan attacks, you won't be able to use any of your abilities.
Because you're already dead.
This is Gu Qing Shan's fighting style.
This is where he's unreasonable.
His sword. Fast.
Very fast.
The Heaven sword flashed — —
Boom!!!
As if a meteor had crashed through the ground, a sandstorm of rubble rose to cover the sky.
"All must die"
Gu Qing Shan muttered as he walked into the sandstorm.
— — -he had activated the Taiji Dreamjolting Sword Array 9 times at the same time.
This came from the Heaven sword's power: [Heaven's Choice]
"Heaven's Choice — — at a certain point in time, you can immediately follow up with the same attack 3, 6, or 9 times"
The Taiji Dreamjolting Sword Array that he unleashed with his full power was infused with the Lightning Thaumaturgy [Dreamjolting], then superimposed itself 9 times in an instant, which was equivalent to 9 Taiji Dreamjolting Sword Arrays being performed at the same time, its power had already surpassed the Lords' level of understanding.
On the ground, yellow sand was kicked up into the air.
Everything was being devoured.
"No!"
"Damn it!"
"Please — –"
"Don't!"
"I was wrong — –"
"Aaaaah!!!!!"
Within the chaotic sandstorm, countless desperate screams resounded.
Every scream was short and filled with fear, as if they had just woken up from a nightmare, or as if they had instantly lost the ability to speak.
This was the remorse and despair of death.
The billowing smoke turned into a whirlwind that spun rapidly and carried the rocks away, disappearing at the end of the horizon.
The Awakening Dream faded away like sand.
The sword formation disappeared.
Everything became clear again.
The corpse was erased by the sword wind, leaving no trace behind.
On the ground, there were only dozens of human heads piled up randomly.
Almost all of the Overlords who came to stop them were dead. Only one person was left, and because he had something to ask, he was still alive.
A short and small man.
He sat on the ground, the formless sword wind blowing against his body, not daring to move.
The short man shouted in panic, "Please, let me go. I can give you everything I have. I was wrong. I shouldn't have stolen your secrets!"
"What did the Great Demoness tell you?" Gu Qing Shan calmly asked.
"She said that you have a lot of secrets, if I look for you, I'll be able to obtain those secrets without spending any money, and I can even sell them to her" the short man hurriedly replied.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and put her swords away.
He turned around and walked towards Lin and Shannu.
Seeing him leave, the short man sighed in relief, feeling like his life was saved.
He hurriedly stood up, wanting to escape from this terrifying place.
A second later, the short man abruptly leapt to the sky and flew away.
Very quickly, he was already far away.
Thud!
Something fell from the sky, crashing to the ground and rolled all the way until it reached another head before stopping.
The short man's head.
His expression was still frozen on his face, as if he had just survived a calamity.
In truth, he was already dead.
But because the swords were too fast, his head hadn't fallen off yet, and his vitality hadn't died yet.
Gu Qing Shan returned to Lin and Shannu's side.
"There were a few people with interesting abilities, but I didn't even get to see anything before it ended, how boring"
Lin said in disdain, but her eyes were glowing.
"Are there other powers that you don't understand?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course, within the infinite worlds, there are countless new abilities, and I'm very interested in them" Lin answered as a matter of fact.
"I'm sorry, I don't like giving others a chance to act" Gu Qing Shan apologized.
He looked up at the sky and sighed: "We missed the chance to go to the next world"
"In other words, you want to undergo the Measure Tribulation in this world?" Lin asked.
"That's right"
"I remember you saying that there's a Great Pixie in this world, and that these people were also incited by him, if you want to face your Tribulation here, you need to be careful" Lin reminded him.
Hearing that, Shannu was worried and pulled on Gu Qing Shan's sleeve: "Gongzi, I'm not afraid of any Quipcraft, let me kill that pixie!"
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and formed a hand seal.
Secret Art, [Torrent]
An ear-piercing whistle suddenly sounded.
The faint yellow sword phantom flew through the night sky.
The Earth sword.
Shannu looked at the flying sword, thought for a bit, then calmed down.
Lin crossed her arms and asked with interest: "What kind of power does the Earth sword have after it awakens?"
Gu Qing Shan honestly replied: "It's not much, but it can kill everything"
"A pixie's lair isn't easy to infiltrate" Lin commented.
"That's why when I slashed the Earth sword, I added a bit more weight to it and slashed this world as well"
Gu Qing Shan explained.
They waited in the silent night for a few breaths' worth of time.
Very quickly.
On the other side of the horizon where they couldn't see, an earth-shattering sound could be heard.
This sound was getting louder and louder.
The earth split open.
Magma rushed to the sky.
Black clouds of destruction swept across the sky.
The three of them silently sensed it.
The entire world was shaking and shaking, and it was getting more and more intense.
Lin muses: "Hm … a power that can kill everything, with several times the world's gravity, it's about to destroy this world"
"I'm sorry, the sword style seems to have pushed me a bit too hard" Gu Qing Shan said, a bit ashamed.
"You haven't killed anyone since you obtained the twin swords?" Lin asked.
"That's right, I usually don't kill people" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Lin looked at him, then at the empty rocky ground in front of her, as well as the piles of heads.
She turned back and looked at him.
"Alright" Gu Qing Shan explained, "I only act when someone is being unreasonable"
"What if someone is being reasonable?"
"Using reasoning to convince people"
"What do you mean by reasoning? Your ability to deceive people isn't any worse than your swordsmanship"
While the two of them were talking, Gu Qing Shan suddenly sensed something as a look of pain flashed across her face.
"The Measure Tribulation?" Lin asked.
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan rubbed her forehead.
Seeing Gu Qing Shan's expression, Shannu hurriedly said: "We need to quickly find another world, otherwise gongzi will have no choice but to face his Tribulation in the space vortex"
Indeed.
This world was destroyed by the Earth sword that contained the power of the [Sanctuary], so it would soon collapse and be destroyed.
As for that pixie, it had already died without a trace.
Fortunately, it had given Gu Qing Shan quite a bit of Soul Points, allowing Gu Qing Shan's Soul Points to maintain a balance.
A streak of light flew back from deep within the dark clouds.
Seeing the streak of light approaching, Gu Qing Shan immediately asked: "Why did you destroy this world?"
The Earth sword landed in front of Gu Qing Shan and spoke in a low voice: 「 You can't blame me for that — — it was all because of your lack of experience and overexertion 」
Gu Qing Shan froze.
He really didn't want to continue this topic in front of the two ladies, so he could only silently put the Earth sword away to prevent it from saying anything else.
"If there's no way to go to Riddle world, where do you plan to go?" Lin asked.
"I don't know" Gu Qing Shan honestly replied, "I can only break through the void of space and find a place to rest for now"
He drew the Chao Yin sword and slashed at the sky.
Without a sound, the void of space was cut open. Images of worlds appeared in front of him, stretching all the way to the sky.
