Chapter 965 - Reunion

The Strife Zones.

A thoroughly destroyed world.

Intense wind was howling.

Pieces of the destroyed world were whisked away by the intense wind into the space vortex, vanishing from sight.

At a certain point.

Su Xue Er tossed a Card outward.

An assassin wielding dual daggers jumped out from the Card and charged at his opponent.

——-Su Xue Er’s opponent was a famous Combatant, someone at the peak of Lord-class, and a person of great prestige within the Strife Zones.

“Only this?”

The Combatant scoffed and blocked the bloody assassin’s attack.

Anna suddenly threw her black scythe at him.

The scythe turned into a mass of black flames, then erupted as a pillar of glittering obsidian light as it struck the Combatant.

“Aargh!”

The Combatant groaned in pain, having no choice but to resist the obsidian light with all his strength.

“Hurry, Su Xue Er!” Anna called out.

“I know!”

Under the black flames, an ocean of red surged and swelled like a brewing storm.

Su Xue Er drew a Card from the void of space before throwing it out.

“Shadow Blood Cocoon, drain all his strength!”

Su Xue Er loudly declared.

The Card turned into a blood-colored cocoon that enveloped the Combatant.

“Meaningless stalling, if it was your master, then maybe it would have actually worked!”

The Combatant’s angered roars could be heard from inside the cocoon.

Anna focused on maintaining her stance and whispered to Su Xue Er: “Looks like it won’t be able to contain him”

“Right”

Su Xue Er said while clutching the wound on her shoulder.

——in the end, they were still stopped by their pursuers.

They were forced into a tough battle of attrition.

Despite them retreating as they fought, more pursuers kept catching up with them, each wave more powerful than the last.

By the time they reached this world, they had already exhausted a vast majority of their powers.

And right away, they ran into an unprecedentedly powerful opponent.

Even now, they weren’t able to kill him.

But they couldn’t drag this any longer!

A sense of chill silently spread in their minds.

——-something was quickly approaching this world.

“Risk it, if that doesn’t work, we can only try to exchange our lives with his” Anna gritted her teeth.

“I’m first”

Su Xue Er drew a blood-colored Card and wielded it in her hand as she spoke.

“Does it matter who goes first!? This is no time to be competing” Anna angrily refuted her.

All of a sudden, the two of them looked up.

A girl was silently descending from the grey-filled sky above.

She was wearing a beautiful set of female cultivator clothing, wielding a Blade in her hand as she charged towards the blood cocoon.

“An ally?” Anna quickly asked.

“No, I don’t know” Su Xue Er stared closely at the woman and replied.

“But she seems to be—-”

Before they could finish their short exchange, the situation had already changed.

——boom!

The Shadow Blood Cocoon collapsed,

The Combatant had reappeared, his punch still mid-flight.

At that split second.

The girl landed on the ground.

A gleam of the Blade flashed across their eyes.

Such a fast stroke!

Su Xue Er and Anna both opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at it.

That Blade attack suddenly bloomed to its fullest, exerting all of its wielder’s power in the blink of an eye, it completely disregarded the consequences and even the possibility of survival.

What an amazing attack.

Just what kind of person would you have to be to make such an attack?

This was a killing slash!

—–oong!

The intense Blade phantom was suppressed to its very limit, only erupting after it went past the neck of its enemy.

The shockwaves of the Blade slash turned into a strong gust of wind that blew the severed head away, sending it completely out of sight.

Only the headless body blankly remained.

The girl sheathed her Blade.

Pftt!

She spat out some blood.

She took the perfect chance to unleash that attack, exhausting all of her mental and physical power, completely bypassing the restraints of difference in strength and eliminating an enemy vastly stronger than herself.

After wiping the blood from her mouth, the girl turned around to look at Su Xue Er and Anna.

“Shen Wu world human General, Ning Yue Chan, greetings”

Ning Yue Chan seemed completely exhausted, her entire body appeared travel-worn; clearly, she had arrived after hurrying with all her strength.

Su Xue Er stared blankly at Ning Yue Chan, and so did Anna.

——she clearly isn’t much stronger than I am, but that attack just now was enough to cause even the heaven and earth itself to pale in comparison.

This is an amazing girl.

Su Xue Er barely managed to stand straight up with Anna’s help and walked in front of Ning Yue Chan.

“Was it you?” she asked.

“It’s me, I’ve been constantly tracking your location” Ning Yue Chan replied.

“Come, let us finish this quickly” Su Xue Er put her hand forward.

“Very well”

Ning Yue Chan also put her hand forward and pressed it against Su Xue Er’s palm.

Following their actions, a line of blood-red text appeared in their vision.

[Fusion begin]

[5]

[4]

[3]

[1]

[Worlds Apocalypse Online: Demon King Ascension has awoken once more]

[The Order was the Demon King of Condemnation: Gu Qing Shan’s personal Demon King Order in the Age of Old]

[The Order had sensed the Demon King of Condemnation’s current position]

[The Mystic Zones, Bramble Bird Kingdom]

[If Gu Qing Shan wants to survive in the Chaos, he must quickly become one with me!]

Reading this description, Su Xue Er opened her eyes wide.

Ning Yue Chan also pursed her lips.

This really was related to his survival.

Su Xue Er forced a smile towards Ning Yue Chan and said: “You said you were... Ning Yue Chan? Thank you for your attack earlier, leave the rest to us. We will find Gu Qing Shan; you can now return back to safety”

Ning Yue Chan remained silent briefly before shaking her head: “I’ll travel with you. I also need to look for him”

Su Xue Er and Anna’s hearts jumped for no clear reason.

What does she mean by that?

Su Xue Er’s complexion went pale and was about to ask her.

But Ning Yue Chan took out a medallion before she could ask and showed it to both Su Xue Er and Anna in the palm of her hand.

The medallion gave off an overflowing emerald glow and carried a certain sense of vicissitudes.

“The Bramble Bird Kingdom’s Empress Guard medallion—— which means, you’re a person of the Bramble Bird Kingdom?” Anna asked.

“It can’t be faked” Ning Yue Chan replied.

“But earlier, you said that you were a General from Shen Wu world” Su Xue Er doubtfully asked.

Ning Yue Chan casually admitted: “That is my homeworld—— before leaving that place, I didn’t know that there were so many terrifically powerful worlds”

“Your homeworld is a scattered world?

“That’s right”

Su Xue Er and Anna exchanged glances.

They both felt a sense of empathy towards her.

That’s right, before entering the 900 million World Layers, who could actually know that their original world was as small as it was?

She’s a person of the Bramble Bird Kingdom.

Even without the need to look for Gu Qing Shan, she would have to return to the Bramble Bird Kingdom.

“Alright, we’ll travel together, but since both of us are wounded, I’m afraid that we would be holding you back” Su Xue Er tried probing her.

Ning Yue Chan smiled gently.

“That’s fine, although we don’t know each other, the two of you are currently in a lot of danger. And with so many wounds, I wouldn’t be able to leave you two in peace”

Su Xue Er and Anna froze again.

If anyone else had said these words, that would give off an impression of being fake or purposefully trying to appear friendly.

But when Ning Yue Chan said it, they felt like that was naturally the case.

—–she was truly thinking that.

She was truly such a person.

Su Xue Er and Anna’s impressions of her improved a bit.

“Let’s move quickly, I have a bad feeling about staying here” Ning Yue Chan scowled and said.

“I also have the same feeling, let’s go” Su Xue Er agreed.

“Hm, let’s go” Anna also agreed.

The three girls left this world.

About half an hour later.

An overpowering gigantic figure appeared above this world.

An Abyssal Behemoth.

The Soul Shrieker jumped down from the Behemoth’s back.

Dong!

It landed in this barren, broken world, closed its eyes, and silently sensed its surroundings.

A few moments later, its half-man, half-woman face displayed a smirk.

「『...They haven’t left for long; I can quickly catch up 」』

「『 Everything will be over soon! 」』

The Soul Shrieker leapt into the sky once again.

...

At another location.

The Mystic Zones.

The Bramble Bird Kingdom.

Gu Qing Shan met Ye Fei Li in the royal palace.

“You mean, the fact that I was declared a Duke was actually a way for you to contact Zhang Ying Hao?” Ye Fei Li asked.

“That’s right, I didn’t think you’d actually go to the 900 million World Layers. But it’s also a good thing, now that you’re already here, we’d save a lot of trouble” Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.

Ye Fei Li smiled bitterly: “I was already prepared to fight my way through the worlds, but ended up with boundless wealth and authority instead—— I’ll be honest, I still don’t find any of this to be real”

Gu Qing Shan told him: “You’ve actually arrived at a decent time, a battle is about to begin, and I’m lacking support”

“What do you need me to do?” Ye Fei Li solemnly asked.

“First of all, we need to find the [Demon King Order]” Gu Qing Shan told him.

“The [Demon King Order]?”

“It’s...”

Gu Qing Shan meticulously explained the situation to Ye Fei Li.

At this point, a guard arrived from outside and reported to everyone: “A man called Zhang Zong Yang claiming himself to be a relative of Duke Ye is outside asking to meet Duke Ye”

Laura turned to Gu Qing Shan and asked: “Is it the one you wanted to contact?”

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and swept outside the palace, then laughed.

“That’s right, he’s finally here”
