Chapter 895: The Long Channeling Moon Went Silent
Translator: La0o9 Editor: La0o9
The wild, alluring, tall, and slender woman was contemplating where her target had gone inside the red brick house.
Meanwhile, the ‘target’ was staying by the stream on the other side of the forest from the red brick house, sitting bare-footed with his feet in the stream, silently feeling the gentle coldness of the water.
Shannu looked at how peacefully her gongzi was relaxing and couldn’t help but feel worried, hesitant on whether or not she should speak up about her worries.
At this time, a mountain breeze swept across them carrying with it the fresh smell of mud after the rain. Gazing upwards, one could see that the cedar forest on top of the hill was moving along with the wind. In between the dust kicked up by the wind, dried yellow leaves were swept up to the sky, moving over the hill of cedars, and went out of sight.
Gu Qing Shan watched as that happened, apparently recalling something from his past and said nothing.
The Measure Tribulation was approaching, he could already sense it in his heart.
At the same time, the times that had passed during his journey of cultivation flashed by in his eyes, giving rise to a mixed sense of emotions.
He immersed himself within the various thoughts and understanding, searching for the origin of it all.
Once he realized that, the Measure Tribulation would naturally arrive.
The shroud of night had draped over the world.
It was silent by the stream.
The bright moon cast a misty light below, creating for a painting-like illusory scenery.
Shannu silently watched his back and understood what was going on.
While gongzi was gambling for his life against the Abyssal monster, he was also utilizing his time to accumulate his strength to break through.
It would be best not to bother him right now.
Shannu sighed, came up, and sat down next to Gu Qing Shan, also putting her pristine jade-like feet into the stream.
It felt as if this moment was cut-off from everything else, and she would simply watch over him like this, from now until eternity.
———regardless of what happened from now on and what troubles he shall face, she would stay by his side.
Night fell deeper.
Gu Qing Shan slowly awoke from his immersive walk down memory lane.
It was only now that he realized Shannu was sitting next to him.
“Are you hungry?”
“I’m not hungry, but gongzi’s food always tastes so good, I want to eat something”
“Then let’s eat something first, then we’ll go kill her”
“Yes, gongzi”
…
The red brick house.
The tall slender woman lightly licked the fresh blood off her finger, all the way until she felt that her hands were clean that she coldly spoke: “Next”
A man with a single horn on his head trembled as he walked forward with the brightest smile he could muster: “Esteemed lady, I have lived in this world for several dozen years, everyone here can attest to that”
Complete silence.
The foul stench of blood filled the hallway of the building.
As the man glanced around himself, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
The tall slender woman looked at him and doubtfully asked: “While staying in this world, you would lose all of your abilities and can only live inside this cage of a room, or near the stream——- this is nothing short of being in prison, so why are you willing to stay here for so long?”
The man answered: “Because of the Apocalypse, esteemed lady, the Apocalypse that sweeps across all worlds. From the Space-Time mystics to the Eternal Abyss, from the 900 million World Layers to the Doomsday Necropolis, no matter what kind of powerful entity you are, you can’t ignore it. But this Gemini star is the anti-magic zone of the four Saint Pillars, it would surely be one of the last worlds to be destroyed”
The tall slender woman went silent briefly before telling him: “You only need to take one hit from me”
The man uttered in joy: “Thank you for your generosity, esteemed lady”
He made a stance on the spot, controlled his breathing, and crossed his arms to defend himself.
Although all of his supernatural abilities were still being sealed, as soon as he made this stance, the aura he gave off changed completely.
While he was just a coward who wished for nothing but his life earlier, he now seemed like a great Combatant who could level mountains and seas.
The tall slender woman glanced at him and praised: “Martial Arts? Your foundations are extremely solid, and I can even sense a boundless will to break through the heavens——- why would someone like you be willing to live in a place like this?”
The man didn’t answer her.
The tall slender woman slowly stood up and spoke with a frigid tone: “Answer me, or die”
The man persevered with his silence.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver scowled a bit, muses for a short minute, then grinned.
She took a step forward, clenched her small fist, and threw a punch at the man.
The man roared in anger and received the attack with both hands——-
Boom!!!
He shot out of the room like a cannonball, crashed into the wall at the end of the hallway while coughing up blood.
The Abyssal Fate Weaver pulled her punch and muttered in disappointment: “Such dispirited martial spirit…”
“So you were just useless garbage who’s defeated by his own past, even while you are alive, you were already dead”
“You are not the one I want to find”
She stood straight up and carefully headed for the door, making sure the corpses and blood all over the ground would not dirty her dress.
Beside that man just now, everyone inside the red brick house had already been killed.
The man prostrated on the ground with a pained look in his face, then couldn’t control himself and shouted: “The Apocalypse will destroy everything that you hold dear, you are merely looking down on me because you still haven’t gone through anything that caused you true pain!”
The tall slender woman was just about to leave when she froze as she heard these words.
Some sort of emotions seemed to flash over his eyes for a brief second.
The woman vanished.
A split second later, she reappeared in front of the door.
“I can ignore a piece of garbage, but you need to understand, regardless of the occasion, when a man shouts at a woman, they are always in the wrong”
She held up the man’s severed head and seriously spoke to it.
The door was opened.
The tall slender woman walked out with the head in her hand.
Outside the building was a forest, a small stream, and vast continuous hills.
The shroud of night was deep.
The long channeling moon went silent.
The tall slender woman walked up to the stream, placed the head on the bank, and slowly walked into the water, allowing it to cleanse her body.
Bright red streams of color came off her body, dying the river in what seemed to be blurred red clouds under the moonlight. It then slowly faded away until the stream became clear once more.
The tall slender woman stood up and slowly walked back to the side of the river.
Where exactly did that detestable Gu Qing Shan go?
Did he already leave this world? Or is he hiding somewhere along the stream?
The tall slender woman thought in annoyance.
At this point, a breeze of frigid night wind washed across her face.
The tall slender woman’s eyebrows relaxed as she had a look of surprise on her face.
There was a certain smell in the wind.
This was a warm smell that had been buried deep within her memories from countless eons ago.
The tall slender woman took a few deep breaths.
“How interesting, is somebody bored enough to be doing this at such a time…?”
She muttered and followed the direction of the breeze.
After walking along the river for what felt like an eternity, a certain scene unfolded in front of her.
An old man was putting away his cooking utensils.
Gu Qing Shan stood next to him with a large bowl in his hand, enjoying the noodles inside.
The smell in the wind came from his bowl.
Finishing up his meal, Gu Qing Shan praised: “Thank you for your treat, your noodles are truly delicious, I couldn’t help but finish even the broth”
The old man joyfully replied: “It is good that you like it”
Gu Qing Shan gave the empty bowl back to the old man and asked: “Then, about the world I want to travel to, can you tell me how I would be able to make it there?”
“That is no issue, no issue at all” the old man heartily laughed.
As the tall slender woman looked at the old man, she remembered something.
There was a legendary person in this world.
The Old Guide.
His background was a complete mystery, apparently not belonging to any currently known races. Furthermore, he was a master of culinary arts, as legends have it, as long as one eats the noodles he cooked, they would be able to gain his favor and find out the method to travel to certain worlds.
And right now, that was exactly what Gu Qing Shan was doing.
The two of them both noticed and glanced towards her at the same time.
“Gu Qing Shan, now that I’ve found you, do you really believe you can escape?”
The tall slender woman spoke as she walked forward while casually warming her arms up.
As Gu Qing Shan observed her, his expression turned cautious.
“Who would’ve thought, an Abyssal monster like you would be such an expert martial artist”
The tall slender woman scoffed: “There are a lot of things that you didn’t think of”
While talking, she seemed like a friendly town girl, but as soon as she finished her words, she charged forward like a flash of lightning!
Gu Qing Shan drew his sword to receive her attack.
There was no probing, both of them used their full power from the very start.
Boom———-
When the swords and fists clashed, a resounding shockwave exploded like thunder from above.
The tall slender woman fluttered like a willow catkin and lightly landed on the stream.
Gu Qing Shan was forced back a few steps to disperse all the power within her strike.
His opponent’s strike was truly powerful. It was fortunate that Gu Qing Shan’s body had grown stronger from the [Living Being Sacrificial Dances] that he had performed, otherwise he might not have been able to receive that punch without issues.
“A great fist technique”
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes glowed.
The tall slender woman looked at him and smiled: “Your Sword Will is a lot weaker than I thought it would be”
“Of course, you don’t need to care about your life, but I still don’t want to die yet”
Gu Qing Shan rubbed his trembling hand and replied.
The tall slender woman abruptly broke into laughter: “So despite doing so many things, you’re still afraid to die”
“Of course, only someone who’s afraid to die would know to respect death, and know to cope with it”
Gu Qing Shan slowly spoke.
He once again wielded his sword.
