「 The path of cultivation cannot be rushed, with your age, you’re already quite exceptional as a human 」 the Earth Sword consoled him.
“I’m exceptional?” Gu Qing Shan laughed deprecatingly.
His voice sounds a bit lonely: “Just now, they said I’m still too weak, only if I’m able to become strong enough before a certain time comes, will I be qualified to participate in the next plan of action”
“The black corpse says I’m too weak”
“Even the Quest feels that I’m too weak”
「 Then what do you plan to do? 」 the Earth Sword asked.
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent and said nothing.
He put his hand on the formation plate and infused it with spirit energy.
In a flash, he disappeared.
…
The guerilla camp.
“They haven’t returned yet?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
A chaplain answered him: “Yes, General Ning has sent a Communication Talisman over, quite a few cultivators have already left as reinforcement”
“Bring out the map”
“Yes”
They quickly gave him the map.
Spreading the map out, Gu Qing Shan asked: “Which location?”
The chaplain pointed at a certain point.
“What’s the situation?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“They encountered a horde of demons too numerous to kill all at once so they were caught in a stalemate, unable to escape”
Gu Qing Shan returned the map to him and quickly left.
He quickly donned the You Ji General armor set and left the tent.
His airship rose to the sky.
About 10 miles away from the battlefield, he could already hear battle cries of “KILL” all over.
Countless lights of different colors flew everywhere, hitting the horde of demons.
The demons came screaming, rushing at the cultivators without any regard for their own lives.
The cultivators also stood their ground, switching wave after wave, unwilling to back down.
At the center of the battlefield, several giant demons a few dozens meters tall were rampaging.
Dozens of small lights emitting intense spirit pressure were circling them, waiting for the right moment to unleash their most powerful attacks.
In the middle of the intense battle, an airship silently landed at the border of the battlefield.
The battlefield was easily a few hundred miles long, so there was nothing but demons at the border.
Thus no one noticed when the airship landed.
Gu Qing Shan was wearing his golden armor, put his airship away and appeared.
He glanced over at the War God UI to check his Soul Points.
[Current Soul Points: 0/100]
Staying silent for a bit, Gu Qing Shan donned the silver mask, then grabbed the Earth Sword from the air.
He was observing the battlefield.
All the cultivators in this sector have been killed, and since the battle has begun to enter a stalemate, all reinforcing cultivators had gone to aid the main battlefield.
There were demons everywhere within Gu Qing Shan’s sight right now.
“Let’s pull out all the stops” he said.
「 Right 」the Earth Sword responded.
A moment later, the Earth Sword in his hand suddenly became heavier, then returned to normal.
Gu Qing Shan knows that the Earth Sword has fully released its weight of 86,370,000 tons.
He checked all his titles.
[You Ji General], [Sword 15], [Talented General], [Ace Assassin]. He chose to equip [Ace Assassin].
[Title: Ace Assassin (Assassin title has been overwritten)]
[Description: You only need one strike to kill an enemy stronger than yourself]
[Equipping this title, you gain the specialist Skill: Harvest (Advanced)]
[Harvest (Advanced): Whenever you kill an enemy in one hit, you’ll regain all the spirit energy used for that strike]
Gu Qing Shan quickly made his way to the battlefield
At the border of the battlefield, a bunch of demons felt the spirit energy wave and turned to him.
A single human cultivator.
How great, this is food delivering itself!
Delicious flesh!
The demons screeched in frenzy, rushing towards Gu Qing Shan with reckless abandon.
They looked like a black mass of claws and fangs.
Gu Qing Shan bent his knees, then disappeared in place.
A golden flow suddenly appeared inside the sea of black, turned into a crescent white slash, decimating countless demons.
As the sword phantom disappeared, the intense wind pressure let out by the slash blew all the flesh and blood outwards.
In the middle of all that, Gu Qing Shan reappeared.
He faced the millions of demons head on as his one strike turned into countless phantoms.
All resistance, all forms of blocking were useless before the Earth Sword.
The sharp sword turned part of the sea of demons into a sea of blood and flesh.
Notifications were popping up like crazy on the War God UI.
[Determined instant kill, returned spirit energy]
[Determined instant kill, returned spirit energy]
[Determined instant kill, returned spirit energy]
[Determined instant kill, returned spirit energy]
…
Gu Qing Shan swung the Earth Sword to get rid of the blood, then headed towards the center area.
Right now, killing Foundation Establishment realm demons wouldn’t give him any Soul Points, he has to find demons much stronger than he is.
All the low-ranked demons on the way were killed by Gu Qing Shan’s random attacks, but none of them managed to slow him down even a little bit.
Clang!
A loud sound of impact, as Gu Qing Shan held his sword and moved backwards, he evaluated the opposing demon.
This is a Golden Core realm late stage Dashing Unihorn Demon, its main advantage is overwhelming speed, usually taking the role of quick attacker and assassin in the army.
Even Rejuvenation realm cultivators might not be able to catch up with it.
The Dashing Unihorn Demon smirked while looking at Gu Qing Shan and disappeared again.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t even change his expression and just raised the Earth Sword.
He thrust forward.
The Dashing Unihorn Demon stopped in midair, barely avoiding this attack.
The thrust was aimed so well that the Dashing Unihorn Demon couldn’t help but increased its speed to the max to avoid.
The Dashing Unihorn Demon roared lowly, passed the sword tip and wanted to ram into Gu Qing Shan’s chest and skewer his heart.
A sudden change.
“Bam bam bam bam bam!”
Five consecutive black sword shadows slashed its body, turning it to mush.
The Dashing Unihorn Demon didn’t even have time to wonder what went wrong before being turned to mush by the overwhelming force and have its flesh flew everywhere.
The War God UI popped up a notification.
[Determined instant kill, returned spirit energy]
[Soul Points +50]
Feeling the spirit energy in his Dantian once again full, Gu Qing Shan pulled back his sword.
Around him, countless black sword shadows were attacking everywhere.
Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow]
When this Secret Art is used, numerous sword shadows will be drawn and attack together with the main body of the sword.
The number of shadows is determined by the user’s cultivation and sword skills.
Each shadow is just as strong as the main body.
The battle just now made more demons aware of his presence as they once again rushed over.
Gu Qing Shan held his sword at his side, slowly walked forward step by step.
Countless black sword shadows appeared in the air, covering him as he moved.
——–the single use of [Drawn Shadow] from before hasn’t finished.
Purely from the understanding of swordsmanship, Gu Qing Shan has already far surpassed his past life after being taught by Bai Hua Fairy.
From then on, after going through battle time and time again with the demons, Gu Qing Shan was standing at a peak he has never been at before.
Because of that, the shadows of his sword once drawn will only keep continuing without end.
Facing the tsunami of millions of demons rushing at him, Gu Qing Shan didn’t even bother to look and calmly walked forward on the battlefield.
Layers upon layers of black sword shadows circled around him appeared, disappeared, then reappeared.
Before the demons could even get close, they’ve already been finely diced by the countless sword shadows.
—–each strike carries the same force as 86,370,000 tons, plus carrying his sharp sword phantoms.
The sword shadows formed a hurricane of swords.
Gu Qing Shan has turned into a moving meat grinder, massacring the demons at unimaginable speed and efficiency.
On the War God UI, two lines notifications were going crazy at the same time.
[Determined instant kill, returned spirit energy]
[Determined instant kill, returned spirit energy]
