Chapter 1388 - Mutual scheming

The small brick house returned back to its tranquillity.

Gu Qing Shan slowly started to sweat bullets, so he took out a handkerchief and silently wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Cold sweat poured out uncontrollably.

This was his body’s natural reaction to death, as well as his spirit sense’s reaction.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword returned to Gu Qing Shan’s side.

“Gongzi, he has left” Shannu said.

“Hm” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The Earth sword couldn’t help but ask: 「 Gu Qing Shan, do you believe him? 」

“Not a single word” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Shannu was surprised and asked: “But you both said that you’d take turns asking questions—–”

“We said we’d ask, but why should we honestly answer the other party’s question?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Shannu froze.

Gu Qing Shan continued: “Shannu, you’ve seen Lady Unextinguishing Sand, the Dragon Ancestor, and the [Chaos] Serpentes King with me, your discerning eyes should be a bit more sensitive”

“Be a bit more sensitive?” Shannu didn’t understand.

“That’s right. Just take a look at these angels, they couldn’t even resist a single attack from the [Chaos] Serpentes King, how are they supposed to destroy the Samsara?” Gu Qing Shan scoffed.

“Gongzi, you mean—–” Shannu asked.

“The [Chaos] Serpentes King wasn’t at its peak, that’s why Red Wraith was able to seal it away. But Red Wraith comes from the Samsara, one of the two Divine Armaments that rules the Wraith realm, the ‘Wraith’ among the ‘Heavenly King and Wraith’” Gu Qing Shan explained.

Shannu fell into thought.

—–the Wraith talisman of the Wraith realm is able to fight off the [Chaos] Serpentes King himself.

But the Samsara has a total of six worlds, so the other artifact spirits might even be more powerful.

With that in mind, Yu Juan’s words earlier were extremely laughable.

If the Church couldn’t even stop one attack, how are they supposed to fight against the Samsara.

Not to mention, that was only an artifact spirit.

A weapon could only exert its true power while being wielded by someone.

Who would be... Red Wraith’s wielder?

Without any support, how could they win against such a powerful enemy?

The more Shannu thought about it, the more nervous she felt.

While Gu Qing Shan was wiping his cold sweat, Shannu stood there muttering to herself: “Red Wraith... too powerful... being able to fight against the [Chaos] Serpentes King... if he has a wielder...”

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes flickered a bit and loudly called out: “Shannu!”

“Ah! What is it? Gongzi?” Shannu hurriedly replied.

Gu Qing Shan shouted: “You are the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, the one who wields the power of [Invincible] and [Law Breaker], even the Red Wraith would be powerless against you. If we have to face the Red Wraith of this reality in the future, my survival and victory will have to rely on you!”

Shannu’s voice became firm: “Don’t worry gongzi, as long as I’m here, I shall definitely help you cut that talisman apart!”

“Right!” Gu Qing Shan nodded, feeling assured.

The Earth sword stood by one side and muttered to itself: 「 I don’t know when the Samsara Clash for Supremacy would begin, but the artifact spirits of the Samsara are already clashing for supremacy... 」

At this point, Luo Bing Li spoke up:

“Gu Qing Shan, since both of you were lying through your teeth, you must have had a plan right?”

“I do”

Gu Qing Shan continued to wipe the sweat off his forehead and said: “He was stalling me here in order to inform others to come and kill me—— take a look, my spirit sense is already able to sense my impending death, so I’m constantly sweating bullets”

Luo Bing Li couldn’t help but raise her voice: “Then why did you let him stall you? Why aren’t you already running for your life?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Because I was giving him a chance to summon his people”

Luo Bing Li was surprised.

A second later, several figures appeared one by one.

The first to appear was a girl.

She wore a green mage robe embroidered with white clouds, her long black hair and emerald eyes were both giving off a lively sensation.

This strongest girl of Void City handed a void thread that radiated dark aura to Gu Qing Shan.

“All preparations are finished; we can proceed at any time”

Fei Yue’s voice contained pure killing intent.

Xiao Die appeared behind Fei Yue, nodding to Gu Qing Shan: “As soon as we received news from your side, we began making the preparations—– there aren’t many people this time, but they’re all the best of the best, we’re definitely going to make sure none of those wraiths go anywhere”

Another figure appeared.

A muscular man with a teddy bear tattoo on his chest.

He grinned with a cruel expression: “Killing wraiths and angels? How exciting”

Another voice continued: “Indeed, but since this is a fight for life and death, there’s probably not going to be any money in this”

From the void of space, a silver-haired old man with neatly combed hair walked out with a cigar in his mouth.

One of his eyes was covered by an eyepatch, the other eye was as sharp as a hawk. He sat down in the middle of the room with a short walking cane in his hand and a black bird on his shoulder.

——-The Hitman Guild’s master.

Crow also appeared from the void of space with a rapier in his hand.

“Old man, don’t just think about money all the time, make sure to frequently train your body, otherwise, I’m going to beat you down to your seat one of these days” he teased.

Gu Qing Shan watched all the figures, then asked Fei Yue in a low voice: “Could there be any leaks?”

“Definitely not, my Fate ability has connected to everyone, any traitors will immediately die” Fei Yue replied.

“What about the Great Flood?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“As soon as we capture this bunch, we’re going to leave” Fei Yue replied.

She held the black thread in her hand, wrapped it around Gu Qing Shan’s body, then began chanting an incantation.

Xiao Die also began to chant another incantation towards Gu Qing Shan.

When Gu Qing Shan was about to ask about the thread, lines of glowing text suddenly appeared in front of his eyes:

[Your World Technique had been nurtured by the Huang Quan Origin power, only one last step remains]

[Please put your Huang Quan Saint Selection Bead into your left eye, it will become the core of your World Technique]

Reading this, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but sigh.

My left eye had been infused with the four Pillar Elements of the void, Origin power of the Inner Plane, an incomplete parallel world, the power of Iris Sword, the fused spirit of the past worlds, the Huang Quan Origin power...

And now I’m going to put a bead into it as well.

Is my left eye still an eye?

While he thought that, with a completely new World Technique waiting for him, how could Gu Qing Shan give it up?

He clenched his teeth and took out the Huang Quan Saint Selection Bead from his Thought Sea.

As soon as the translucent bead that radiated faint yellow fog appeared, he directly shoved it into his left eye.

New lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[The new World Technique is forming, please wait for five seconds]

[5]

[4]

[3]

[2]

[1]

[Your World Technique: Huang Quan’s Guidance, has been activated]

[Huang Quan’s Guidance: You are able to infuse fragments of the Huang Quan realm into your eye, forming them into a more powerful Huang Quan realm]

[Huang Quan’s Guidance is the most basic Huang Quan World Technique, the more Huang Quan realm fragments you collect, the more powerful the Huang Quan Law in your eye will become, and the stronger you will be]

[Attention: Whenever you infuse a new Huang Quan realm fragment, all of your abilities will also be reinforced by the power of Huang Quan, thus evolving into more powerful Huang Quan Divine Skills]

[Special note: Gaining the ‘Huang Quan’s Guidance’ technique is proof that you have officially entered the preparation phase to participate in the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, you have begun your battle to reunite the Huang Quan realm]

[This is the beginning of everything]

[Additional note: Your left eye will not be blind again]

Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt an intense pain radiating from his left eye.

His left eye was now enveloped by a mass of burning fog, which exuded an indiscernible aura of death.

Immense power appeared within his iris.

“Gu Qing Shan, what’s the matter?” Xiao Die asked.

“It’s nothing, just one of my abilities evolving” Gu Qing Shan answered as he held his left eye.

Xiao Die and Fei Yue exchanged glances, both feeling assured.

“It’s going to begin now” Fei Yue muttered as she sensed something.

Xiao Die nodded.

The two of them disappeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Boom——-

The entire small brick house had been levelled.

Dust and ash rose up high.

Humans wearing yaksha masks appeared one after another.

A bit further away, innumerable angels descended from above, encircling Gu Qing Shan.

From the ground to the sky, there were only angels and wraiths, they had surrounded Gu Qing Shan completely to the point that he had nowhere to run.

A fully-armored wraith stepped forward, staring down at Gu Qing Shan.

“Ahaha, like catching a fish in a barrel”

The wraith mocked.

Gu Qing Shan slightly nodded and grinned: “I completely agree with your assessment”

Suddenly, another wave of pain came from his left eye.

Lines of text quickly appeared on the War God UI:

[Thanks to your Huang Quan Guidance technique, your first ability is currently evolving]

[Your Secret Art, ‘Water Flow Severance’ had fused with Huang Quan Origin power, thus it has been converted to a Huang Quan Skill]

[You’ve obtained the Huang Quan Secret Art, Divine Skill: Forgetting River Severance]
