Chapter 929 - Oncoming

“What are you going to do?” Lin asked.

“Let’s deal with the Hitman Guild issue first before anything else” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Like the plan?” Lin asked.

“Yes, like the plan” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Lin sighed and told him: “You—- I really don’t know what I should say to you”

“This Ye Fei Li identity might still be useful later on, so I don’t want to give up on it yet” Gu Qing Shan explained.

——–after all, when this identity had a certain level of influence, it would enable Zhang Ying Hao to quickly find him.

“Then go” Lin said.

“Hm”

Gu Qing Shan used [Ground Shrink] and vanished from the hotel, appearing at the gate of the Hitman Guild several dozen miles away.

Worlds were being destroyed one after another, and the resulting shockwaves began to affect Seaside World.

Quite a few Professionists noticed this.

And chaos ensued.

The bounty hunter Guild, the slave market, and the trading port were all under attack.

5 minutes earlier, a resounding explosion could be heard not too far away.

The auction house had fallen, the crowd was rushing in to steal anything and everything of value.

——–the Hitman Guild was a relatively dangerous establishment, so no one had tried to mess with it for now.

But once the chaos started to spread, someone would definitely notice that the only person left inside the Hitman Guild was a single girl.

All of the Hitman Guild’s best people lost their lives in the Fire Mountain world.

Gu Qing Shan showed up at the front gate of the Hitman Guild.

He knocked on the door.

“Thank God, you’re finally here!”

The girl opened the door and sighed in relief.

This Ye Fei Li person was the only one who could protect her while she accomplished the task that the Guild assigned her.

She was responsible for moving all of the Guild’s wealth and intelligence from this world.

“Of course, I’m a member of the Hitman Guild after all” Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.

At this point, a Professionist went out from the chaotic crowd a bit further away and hesitantly looked towards Gu Qing Shan’s location.

“Oi, hitman, you’re working today as well?” he loudly called out.

Gu Qing Shan ignored him.

The girl clenched her teeth: “You need to teach them a lesson, otherwise, if more of them flock here it would be trouble”

“Is that so?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

While they were talking, several other Professionists had already stepped out.

They tried to incite the crowd behind them: “The Hitman Guild’s rewards are always very high, everyone—–”

Gu Qing Shan turned around and coldly glanced at the group of people.

In a flash, the entire group of inciting people vanished from this world.

This bizarre scene caused the rowdy crowd to go silent.

One breath’s worth of time later.

Severed body parts suddenly appeared, scattered all over the ground.

Blood soaked the ground.

——none of them saw how Gu Qing Shan did that at all.

The rowdy crowd couldn’t help themselves from retreating.

The girl stared closely at Gu Qing Shan, her impression of evil creatures, in general, became a bit better.

She cleared her throat and said seriously: “Very well. As the acting representative of the Hitman Guild, I hereby issue the following order from the HQ:”

“Intermediate-level Hitman Ye Fei Li, you are to protect and escort the Guild’s 1st level representative back to the Hitman Guild’s HQ”

“Got it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The girl nodded, brought Gu Qing Shan inside the Hitman Guild, and closed the door from inside.

“Let’s go now!”

She said.

——–as soon as she did, a sharp screeching noise came from afar.

Boom!!!

A large hole was drilled into the Hitman Guild’s front door.

A masked person appeared.

The masked person shouted: “Turn the Hitman Guild’s wealth over to me and I shall spare you death!”

“Dream on!”

Gu Qing Shan drew his sword and charged forward.

In an instant be had engaged in combat with the masked person.

The two of them turned into blurred images and wrestled against one another, quickly moving their battle onto the main road.

The shockwaves that their battle gave off was enough to destroy several large buildings around them.

“Go!” Gu Qing Shan shouted to the girl.

The girl gritted her teeth, turned, and ran deeper into the depths of the Hitman Guild.

She went through layer after layer of secret paths, stopping at a certain junction and started climbing upwards until she reached a secret room at the top floor and pressed a button in a hidden corner of the wall.

An open room appeared in front of her.

A droplet-shaped silver shuttle with the pointy end in front was on display in this room.

The girl boarded the shuttle and activated it.

“Ye Fei Li, as long as you survive, I guarantee that the organization will reward you well” the girl sobbed as she called out.

She barely managed to retain her calm and pressed down on a certain button.

The walls and roof started opening up.

The shuttle jumped into the air, entered a black hole, and left this world.

Gu Qing Shan continued to fight against the masked person.

This was a Lord-class battle that was literally blowing everyone too weak around its vicinity away.

If someone tried to get a bit closer, then they would instead be killed.

But now, none of the Professionists around them took too much distance.

Most of them were still busy pillaging as much as they could.

A few particularly powerful Professionists among them stopped their vicious battles to seriously observe their fight instead.

It wasn’t easy for them to witness such a high-leveled battle, this would greatly help their advancement.

Gu Qing Shan was thoroughly suppressed in the battle, almost dying a few times.

Only after the girl’s shuttle had thoroughly gone away did he suddenly retreat.

“You’re strong, I’m not a match for you”

Gu Qing Shan wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and admitted.

The masked person replied: “Then scram, back to your Hitman Guild. I have more choices to pick from. Interfere with me and I will really kill you”

Gu Qing Shan said nothing and dejectedly retreated to the Guild building.

The masked person didn’t chase after him.

She instead turned around towards the mixed crowd and declared: “Money, or your life. Choose and leave one of them behind”

...

Half an hour later.

The hotel balcony.

Gu Qing Shan looked at Lin and tried asking: “Our original plan was just to deceive the girl and retreat, so why did you rob those guys as well?”

Lin casually replied: “I saw that it wasn’t easy for you to make money, so I helped you earn some more. Besides, they aren’t exactly heroes of virtue either”

“What?” she faced Gu Qing Shan’s gaze straight on: “Are you saying you have an issue with what I did?”

Gu Qing Shan paused.

——–there was one benefit of constantly struggling at the edge of life and death for many years.

That was his premonition of danger had become extremely sensitive.

Gu Qing Shan raised a thumb and praised her: “You did a great job, exactly what I wanted to do”

Lin’s lips curved up slightly but swiftly relaxed again.

She put a few Cards on the table and said indifferently: “I noticed you’ve been constantly looking for Cards and other similar things, so I took back all the Cards that those guys stole. Take a look if you can use any of them”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the 5 Cards on the table.

In truth, he was grateful.

Although she stole them, one can’t exactly expect a martial arts expert from the Bygone Era and a Combatant who from the Eternal Abyss to be reasonable in the first place.

Combatants of this level were usually the law itself, so they usually don’t care much for the rules of the normal world.

Gu Qing Shan carefully put the Cards away and replied: “Thank you very much. If not for you, I would have spent quite a bit of effort”

“It’s nothing big. Now tell me, how do you plan on getting rid of the Demon Dragon?” Lin asked with concern.

“We need to go somewhere” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Where?”

“The Eternal Abyss——– the Apocalypse of the Abyss comes from a parallel world, but since I have the twin swords, I’ll be able to ensure both you and me have safe passage——- I’ll then lead the Demon Dragon near the Apocalypse and throw him into it”

“...As I thought, you really are rotten to the core”

“It’s just a bit of smart, and isn’t that also your goal? I assume that you know a few safe paths that can lead directly into the Abyss”

Gu Qing Shan recalled the words he heard inside the Abyssal Jail.

————the Abyssal Fate Weaver constructed many paths that led into the Primordial Heaven Realm, but they were all sealed off.

Since one end of the path was the Primordial Heaven Realm, the other must naturally be the Eternal Abyss.

Lin’s gaze fell down, but her body had already tensed up.

She couldn’t keep herself from trembling.

Can I take this chance to go through the Reality Gate itself?

It is finally time for my vengeance?

“Indeed, I opened up quite a few paths, one of which could indeed help us lead the Demon Dragon into that Apocalypse” Lin replied.

“Then we shouldn’t dawdle, let’s get to it now. Give me the map, I need to choose a place to expose my movements” Gu Qing Shan stood up and said.

Lin nodded and was about to say something, but her expression changed.

“What is it?”

Noticing her complexion, Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.

Lin caught his wrist and answered seriously: “We need to get away quickly, a terrifying one is coming!”

They both flew outside.

Lin flicked her hand to break open the void of space and jumped in together with Gu Qing Shan.

In the final moments, Gu Qing Shan witnessed a bizarre scene.

The entire Seaside World was being split in half by a strange sight.

Half of it was nighttime, with ruined structures and bones laid scattered all over, not a single living being in sight.

The night was spreading, corroding away the other half of the world that was still in the daylight.

Any being swallowed by the night would turn into a pile of bones on the spot, unable to resist at all.

Those who managed to stay within the daylight were running away with their lives, trying to avoid the night.

The corrosion of the Apocalypse from a parallel world had escaped the Abyss and was slowly devouring this world as well.
