Although an intense battle was raging beside him, Shi Mingdong only sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. He held his superalloy saber in his hand.
A massive figure was slowly walking towards him. It was nearly three meters tall, with a wolf's head and human body. It wore a large haori and held a sword in its hand. Gui Hai, or rather, Cockroach Village Left Formation! He was covered in wounds, and there was a terrifying claw mark on his face. It had slashed across his left eye.
However, the wound on his body did not bleed. Instead, wisps of black gas emitted from the wound before dissipating.
"A person who uses a sword should not have fear in his heart. The only thing to fear is the sword in his hand. A sharp sword will not make you stronger because your true weapon is the sword in your heart, "Gui Hai said slowly." How much did you see in that battle? "
"I saw you fend off the Dragon Aberration Queen alone with your sword. Even though it was much stronger than you, you risked your life to create an opportunity for Tang Yu's attack. " Shi Mingdong suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I saw a fearless warrior's heart."
"I obtained Demon Saber — Biqian Longship and Jianguang, believing that I have become stronger, but in fact, I have unknowingly given up on many things. On the contrary, I have become weaker. I've learned a lot … "Shi Mingdong stood up and bowed deeply at Gui Hai.
"Heh heh heh, your partner, Tang Yu, has a robot army with powerful firepower. He is invincible and is a very powerful existence even in the Gold team. However, you are a warrior. A warrior is not weaker than anyone! "Gui Hai said with a smile.
"You … should be treated as soon as possible," Shi Mingdong said with a frown.
"I'm already dead …" Gui Hai shook his head and walked over to sit beside Shi Mingdong.
"You …" Shi Mingdong was immediately alarmed. He looked at Gui Hai, hoping to say something, but Gui Hai waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
"Ten years ago, a war swept through the Soul Corpse World I was in. Two teams of Platinum Group experts led their armies and directly intervened between the Invisible Empire and the Soul Society. The war reached its climax almost instantly. However, our opponents were very powerful. The platinum team that stood on our side was pushed back again and again, and the battle finally pushed to Nightmare Hall. Back then, I was leading the seventh division to guard the gates of the Black Soul Hall. I knew that there was no chance of survival, so I immediately used a human transformation technique, "Gui Hai said slowly as he looked at the blazing sky.
Shi Mingdong nodded. "It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe the war between the Platinum Group as earth-shattering."
"The Human Transformation Technique can allow this old man to obtain great power and become immortal. However, I need to offer my heart. Furthermore, after the spell disappears, this old man will also die. However, this is only the beginning … "Gui Hai let out a long sigh." When I woke up again, I found myself in a strange space. And a Shiba Inu was waiting for me. "
"You're in the System Space?" Shi Mingdong asked.
Gui Hai nodded and said, "Back then, I didn't remember anything. I only knew some superficial sword techniques. But back then, my body maintained the Human Transformation Technique state, allowing me to recover no matter how serious my injuries were. As for that Shiba Inu, because it was wearing a shirt with the word 'seven' on the back, I called it Qilang. Just like that, I named myself Gui Hai. I brought Qilang with me and wandered the System Space for ten years. The Soul Zanpakuto that reawakened was no longer the Heavenly Wrath of the past, but Shura. "
"However, during this endless journey, this old man has learned many things. Qilang is actually me. To be precise, he's a wisp of my remnant soul. As for why it's a Shiba Inu and not a wolf, it should be because of 'Guardian!' "Gui Hai continued.
"Guardian?"
"Guardian! This is my lifelong duty, and it's also the direction of my sword! "Gui Hai said proudly." After coming to the System Space, the number of people who died under my sword numbered in the tens of thousands. However, the number of people I saved was even more! Even when I was caught in a massacre, I remained true to my heart! Only by finding my true intent can I not be confused when I brandish my sword. And this is something you have yet to do. "
Shi Mingdong lowered his head.
"Back at the bottom of the pyramid, that person named Zhang Xuan used the Philosopher's Stone. He wanted to refine the entire pyramid into a lifeform that was under his control. If he succeeded, we would all die. Therefore, I fused with Qilang and used the first and only Ultimate Solution in this old man's life. " Gui Hai looked at Shi Mingdong and said, "From that moment onwards, I recalled everything. I recalled my previous life and this life."
"But from that moment onwards, you were already dead, right? However, in order to prevent the Anomaly from spreading, you chose to drag your already dead body and brandish your sword once more! Furthermore, the target was such a powerful Aberration Queen! "Shi Mingdong said with a trembling voice.
"I've said it before. Guardian is the direction of my sword. It's also my true intent!" Gui Hai stood up abruptly and nodded at Shi Mingdong. "The path of a warrior is still very long. I believe that you will definitely become a powerful warrior. The time has come. Everyone in the Soul Corpse World is still waiting for me in another world. It's time for me to go. "
With that said, Gui Hai turned around and slowly walked into the distance. The black smoke around him increased as his body turned blurry.
Shi Mingdong looked at Gui Hai's back as he suddenly stabbed his saber into the ground in front of him. He knelt down on one knee and held the hilt with both hands. He watched silently as Gui Hai gradually dissipated.
"Be he Xuan Village's Zuo Zhen or Gui Hai, he is a warrior worthy of respect." Zhang Ruijun's voice sounded from behind Shi Mingdong.
"That's because he abides by his Sword Dao," said Shi Mingdong indifferently. Shi Mingdong said faintly, "As for me, I don't even know why this sword is being wielded."
Zhang Ruijun suddenly raised his hand and faced the sunlight. His hand shimmered with a golden glow as he muttered, "Time never stops, and the world never ends. Forward, warrior. Your soul shall continue. Rest in peace, warrior. Your glory shall accompany me … "
"I thought you knew how to read the Bible …" Shi Mingdong glanced at him and said.
"I cultivated the path of a priest in Neverwinter Nights. There's no Bible in that world," Zhang Ruijun said with a smile.
Shi Mingdong turned his head and looked in the direction where Gui Hai had left, but Gui Hai's figure had already vanished. Whoosh! A few fighter jets flew across the sky as their engines rumbled, as though they were sending the warrior off.
