Chapter 395: Swear on your life
Gu Qing Shanâs mind moved as he softly extracted the blue presence from his body.
Holding the presence in his hand, he felt a sense of indifference and coldness.
No wonder, this is the cold indifference of sword qi isnât it?
He silently sighed.
As a sword saint, he actually failed to recognize a sword spirit as she stood in front of him.
How humiliating would that be if it was known.
Of course, this wasnât entirely Gu Qing Shanâs fault.
This was only the first time he has met a humanoid weapon spirit.
ââ-not to mention she was also a particularly cold and indifferent type of girl.
Gu Qing Shan carefully infused the blue presence with his inner sight.
The presence boiled a bit, as if sensing something.
All of a sudden, a female voice came from the blue presence.
âI can see youâ
Gu Qing Shan was glad and spoke: âPlease come out to meet usâ
âPlease wait, Iâm currently at the most crucial moment of recovery, Iâll be done soonâ
âVery wellâ Gu Qing Shan answered.
No wonder she didnât show up, her recovery was at an important point.
Now that I think about it, the three treasures she asked for could indeed help speed up the recovery of a weapon spirit.
That explains everything.
Gu Qing Shan explained what Shannu said to the weapons.
âWhat! It should be damaged considerably, how did she recover so fast?â the small white bird was surprised.
âSheâs a manifestation of the Grand Tie Wei Mountainâs Law, so perhaps the recovery process would also be naturally quickerâ the shield commented.
Gu Qing Shan couldnât help but asked: âHow exactly did she get damaged?â
The weapons all shook their heads.
Everyone glanced over at the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook.
âThis is very strange, during that period of time, the entirety of Huang Quan itself was obscured, so I donât know eitherâ the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook answered.
Gu Qing Shan silently waited in place together with the group of weapons.
A few moments later.
Some sort of blinding light was exploding in the sky that could be seen even deep down in the muddy water of the Forgetting River.
âSomething seems to be happening up thereâ the Bone-rending Hellspawn Blade felt uneasy.
âLetâs go take a lookâ Gu Qing Shan spoke.
Bringing the weapons with him, he got out of the water to search for any strange happenings.
At the direction of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, some unusual occurrences could be seen.
From the Forgetting River, they could see countless shining stars in the sky.
36 clusters of light formed a mystical pattern that connected the light, covering space above the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
âThis is the Huang Quan Great Sealing Formation, they really managed to set it up!â the small white bird exclaimed with joyâ
âThatâs not so, they got into a stalemate with the 7-colored spear, only now does the stalemate start to become deeper and more intricateâ the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook spoke with worry.
Suddenly, an indifferent female voice came: âThey can only trap that 7-colored spear temporarily, once they run out of power, the formation will be broken by the 7-colored spearâ
A blinding blue light appeared on top of the Forgetting River.
The light parted away to reveal an ancient palace maid.
Blue silk dress, a slender figure, red lips with a jade-white complexion, sharp eyes and brows with a faint expression of indifference.
The Six Paths Great Mountain Swordâs spirit, Shannu.
The weapons respectfully greeted her: âGreetings to you, Shannuâ
The blue-dress girl slightly nodded.
The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook flew up into the blue-dress girlâs hand.
âIâll tell you everything thatâs happened in the past few daysâ the khopesh said.
The blue-dress girl took hold of the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook and closed her eyes.
In a few seconds, the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook had retold her everything that had happened.
The blue-dress girl looked over at Gu Qing Shan as a small smile appeared on her cold expression.
âAfter the Demon Lord, you managed to defeat a Soul Devouring Arachna as well, how surprisingâ
âItâs nothingâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
The blue-dress girl curtsied to greet him and continued: âI still have to thank you, your treasures from before allowed me to fully recoverâ
âI couldnât imagine that you would be the weapon manifestation of the Grand Tie Wei Mountainâ Gu Qing Shan sighed.
âThatâs right, I am indeed the Six Paths Great Mountain Swordâ
âThe reason why I had to find you is because I need your powers to save both Huang Quan and the human realmâ
âWhat!?â all the weapons were shocked.
Despite being very powerful, the Six Paths Great Mountain Sword shouldnât have the ability to save two worlds.
Otherwise the demons wouldnât have dared to invade at all in the first place.
The blue-dress girlâs expression became grim and spoke: âI have no such power, all I can do is to stop that 7-colored spearâs attacks. Although it wonât harm me, I would still be knocked awayâ
âThereâs no need to hold it off for too long, according to my plans, we can definitely save Huang Quanâ
Gu Qing Shanâs words were full of determination and confidence.
The blue-dress girl frowned a bit.
She couldnât help but said: âThe entirety of Huang Quan, all the Divinities, countless weapons, none of them managed to stop the 7-colored spearâ
âTo win against the Divinities of Huang Quan, the demons had sacrificed over 100 near-invincible Demon Lords, only to use that spearâ
âHow are you going to make it pass it to save Huang Quan? If it werenât for the fact that youâve helped me as well as killed the Demon Lord, it would be very reasonable for me to assume that youâre only running your mouth right nowâ
Saying so, her tone had become cold.
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
He explained: âThe 7-colored spear is truly terrifying, the demons did nothing wrong throughout the entire war, except until the very endâ
âThe very end? What do you mean?â the Soul Separating Hook couldnât help but ask.
âThey shouldnât have put the 7-colored spear on top of the Grand Tie Wei Mountainâ
âThe demons did that to suppress Huang Quan as a whole, do you not understand that?â the blue-dress girl glanced at him and asked.
She continued: âHaving such power residing over Huang Quan, even the Heaven realm wouldnât dare to send more Divinities downâ
âSuch force is too much for even the Heaven realm, are you not clear about this?â
Gu Qing Shan continued answering her: âThe demons did not do everything right from start to end, they also made mistakes, and I can take advantage of these holes to overturn this entire warâ
The blue-dress girl glanced down: âYou? Without the Forgetting River, you couldnât even go against a single Demon Lordâ
Gu Qing Shan insisted: âIf youâre willing to help me, then we can change the flow of this war, and this will be our only chance!â
âChance?â
âThatâs right. Give me a chance, and give yourself a chance, we will change the situation of this world, togetherâ
The blue-dress girl didnât continue to question him.
She looked up at the flickering lights in the sky.
The lights were beginning to dim.
The 36 Huang Quan weapons were also letting out disconnected screams and cries.
They were starting to lose their grips.
A faint look of sorrow flashed through the blue-dress girlâs eyes.
She lightly waved her hand.
At the bottom of the Forgetting River, the unbreakable greyish white rocks began to part.
A slender, intricate longsword flew out.
This sword was slightly thinner and a bit longer than a normal sword.
The blade of the sword was steel blue, exceedingly sharp, but also brilliantly bright like the flow of an autumn stream, giving off a strange sense of beauty.
The sword cut through the Forgetting River water and rose up to the top, lightly hovering by the blue-dress girl.
She took hold of the sword.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
A sword spirit is holding a sword.
Could it be, she can use swords to fight just like a sword cultivator?
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, the blue-dress girl spoke again.
âI know that youâre a sword cultivator, thatâs why Iâm afraid that youâre trying to fool meâ
âFool you?â
âIndeed, if I let you use me, if you use some sort of method to bring me out of Huang Quan, then you will have gotten me, but Huang Quan will keep falling to destructionâ
The blue-dress girl turned around to face Gu Qing Shan.
She continued: âPlease prove your intention. Prove that you really only want to use me because you want to save Huang Quanâ
âHow do I prove that?â
âSwear on your life. Swear that you will save Huang Quan and turn everything back the way it was, otherwise you will die a dogâs death and even your soul will fall into the deepest abyss of hell, never to receive salvationâ
Hearing that, the weapons that have been listening on the side couldnât help but speak up.
âShannu, thereâs no need to go that far, an oath in Huang Quan is one that will definitely come trueâ the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook spoke up first.
âYeah, heâs already proven his intentions many times before alreadyâ the small white bird spoke.
âI feel like Shannuâs worry is justifiedâ the shield commented.
âWithout an oath, what would we do in the small chance that the human just takes her and runs away?â a spear added.
âBut this oath is too muchâ the Morningstar sighed.
They were heatedly discussing this among themselves.
The blue-dress girl swung the sword.
The weapons all shut up.
It was absolutely silent above the Forgetting River, only the faint sound of the light breeze could be heard.
âSwear upon what I asked, do you dare?â the blue-dress girl stared straight at Gu Qing Shan and asked in a cold voice.
Gu Qing Shan was silently.
Then he smiled: âOnly something so simple?â
