Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 2102 - Killing

A golden light rose up from the Hundred Flowers Palace.

It flew through the white clouds and swept in one direction, eventually falling down and hovering beside the young man.

As the golden light submerged, the crowd stared at it and saw that it was a sword.

The sword was slightly longer than an ordinary sword, thick and heavy, simple and simple in shape, without any unnecessary decorations on the blade, and without a sheath.

A deep voice emerged from the long sword.

"Was that you calling me?"

Gu Qingshan pointed at the male cultivator across from him and said, "I actually asked him to fight me despite coming forward - somehow, His Excellency came here."

After the two of them finished their sentence, the crowd of cultivators were all in an uproar.

"This sword can communicate with people!"

"It's a sword spirit!"

"This sword has a spirit, it's amazing!"

"Divine Artifact, this is the Hundred Flowers Sect's Divine Artifact!"

"My God, is it the saintly one with the handle-"

White Goose suddenly stormed out, "All shut up!"

Its voice carried a fierce spiritual pressure that silenced all the voices of the monks.

I saw the white goose fly to the longsword and arch its wings, "Aren't you the one whose master wears the sword? Why did you fly here?"

In full view of the crowd, the Long Sword did not make a sound.

Gu Qingshan's heart, however, resounded with Earth Sword's voice, "Quickly tell me what I should say."

"Just say that I'm the person you've chosen." Gu Qingshan said.

"But there has to be a reason." Earth Sword Dao.

"Then say that the trait in me attracts you, and that reason is not easy to find fault with." Gu Qingshan Dao.

"Trait... what trait do you have?" Earthsword hesitated.

"How do I know, I can't say such things by myself, just think of anything that can bluff them." Gu Qingshan Dao.

"I'll think about it."

Several breaths passed.

The voice of the Longsword Sword Spirit finally rang out in the arena.

"White Reflecting Sky, I just had a sudden sensation that a Sword Master who is to my liking has appeared, hence the visit."

"You mean him?" White Goose squinted his eyes to examine Gu Qingshan.

Long Sword said, "That's right."

"What does he have that has caused you to develop a sense to want to recognize him as your master?" White Goose Road.

Among the crowd of monks, there were the few who were jealous, jealous, and couldn't see the good in others, followed by whispering, "Yes, but a frontline scout, why is this sword favored?"

"That's right, he's obviously only at the Qi Refining stage, and look at the bow at his waist - it's not like he's a real sword cultivator, what makes him so?"

"Hmph, the matter will have to be decided by the saints."

The discussion grew louder.

Gu Qingshan's eyebrows furrowed.

The Long Sword said, "His trait attracts me."

"What trait?" White Goose asked.

The longsword emitted a thick, mountainous voice: "In the underworld, there is a heavenly plan, and as a sword spirit, I have long foreseen that the next master will be a child who has been cultivated and cleansed for three lifetimes."

"-This child is ice-clear and chaste, as loyal as the beginning, with traits as blazing as the sun, exactly the sword master I desire."

The crowd was quiet.

Dead silence.

Near the Great Green Stone, the monks were many as if they were cruising across the river, yet all were silent at the moment.

The Third... Child?

This...

Who can do that!

The people sighed in unison, their anger leveled.

Even the white goose was unable to speak.

Only a short while later did the white goose fly back to the great blue stone and speak, "This matter requires the approval of the master, and he must pick the Hundred Blossoms List before he can meet the sage - you should take him there and see if he has that fate."

"Good." The Long Sword.

It landed gently on Gu Qingshan's hand.

As Gu Qingshan held the sword to leave, he suddenly remembered something, paused and looked at the male cultivator across from him.

"Just now, you said that you wanted to fight me?" He asked.

The male cultivator put away his weapon and looked at him with an inexplicable look, "Forget it, you go ahead."

"Why?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Life... there are actually some things... that don't need to be fought over..."

The male monk avoided his gaze and covered his tracks.

The monks around him nodded in unison, as if they felt the same deeply.

Gu Qingshan didn't bother to say anything else and turned his head and left.

Leng Tianxing looked at the situation and hurriedly followed behind.

The two of them raced along the road for half a moment, and a river appeared in front of them.

There was an old boat moored on the shore, and the aged boatman sat in the bow, smoking a dry cigarette.

The two men paused in their tracks.

"Hey, are you really the third child?" Leng Tianxing asked with some admiration.

"How should I know - can you know your past life?" Gu Qingshan couldn't help but say.

"That's true, who would know about the past life." Leng Tianxing nodded.

The boatman yelled, "Two of you, are you going to pick the Hundred Flowers List?"

"Exactly."

"Get in the boat."

As soon as they boarded the boat, the boat slowly left the shore and traveled towards the river.

"Cough, then, if you want to pick the list for the Imperial City, you must pass me."

The boatman said as he braced the boat.

"Please instruct me." Gu Qingshan cupped his fist and said.

The boatman said, "There's a jiao dragon in this river, you kill it for me."

Gu Qingshan was quiet.

Leng Tianxing said incredulously, "A dragon? We're killing a dragon?"

"Yes, you were able to get the Sage's sword, so I'm sure you can still handle a dragon - don't worry, it was a young dragon, not a very powerful beast, much less a true dragon of the legendary kind." The boatman smirked.

"Even if it's a juvenile dragon, all it would take to kill us is a single blow, so how can we kill it?" Leng Tianxing spread his hands.

"That's your business, but if you give up, you can return to shore right now and leave the Hundred Flowers Immortal Kingdom." The boatman said.

"This is making things difficult, I've never heard of such a difficult test!" Leng Tianxing was indignant.

He looked at Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan smiled and didn't say anything.

--After all, this boatman was Xie Dao Ling, so what could he say?

Gu Qingshan looked into the river, but saw the turbulent undercurrents beneath the calm waters.

Events had changed.

In the other timeline of the closed loop, himself and Leng Tianxing had only caught a demon fish.

And this time, they were going to catch a jiao dragon.

It seemed that the Earth Sword's return to her hands prompted the Hundred Flowers Fairy to get serious in advance and want to consider herself.

She was only at the Qi Refining stage, so how could she kill a jiao dragon?

But still, you have to kill.

After all, this was Xie Dao Ling's test, how could he not?

"Won't you be blamed by the saints for killing it?" Gu Qingshan asked.

The boatman said, "No."

"Good."

Gu Qingshan looked toward Leng Tianxing and said, "I have a method."

"What method? There's no way we can kill a dragon."

"But I have a way."

"Go ahead, then."

"It requires you to get into the water and draw it in."

Leng Tianxing thought briefly, and without saying a word, he removed his armor and took off his boots.

"Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"You saved my life - let me go and draw it, and I'll go and draw it, I guess you must have some powerful formations from your family to deal with it." Leng Tianxing was full of confidence.

Gu Qingshan was slightly startled.

Yes.

In Leng Tianxing's heart, he was a cultivator with strong array attainments, able to kill off boundless demons on his own with the power of the formation.

As such....

Gu Qingshan touched that crude formation plate.

--The magic formations that could kill dragons, how could they be set up by such a primitive formation plate?

His own strength was not up to the requirements of setting up that kind of formation.

Gu Qingshan pondered for a few moments, reloaded the spirit stones, and then clicked his hands.

He began to set up another formation.

A short while later.

Gu Qingshan stretched out his hand and slapped the formation plate, and invisible spiritual light spread out from the plate.

The boatman squinted at it and smiled, "I've never seen such a formation before - it turns out that he has unique attainments in magic formations."

"Brother Leng, go down, I'll be on board to guide you." Gu Qingshan said.

"Good!" Leng Tianxing.

He leapt high and plunged into the river with a fierce thrust, and quickly swam out of sight.

The boatman spoke out again, "Young man, where did you get that formation just now?"

"A family heirloom." Gu Qingshan arched his hand.

"Can you kill a dragon?"

"Not quite, it's for defense, it can withstand about one attack if the other is a dragon."

"Only one defense? As such a formation, it's considered to be taken to the extreme, and I'll be honest, it's really impossible to kill a dragon with your power."

"Then you still let us kill it?"

"Right."

The two of them looked at each other.

Gu Qingshan sighed and said, "Senior, with my companion and I's strength, we really can't kill that dragon -"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly, the entire boat connected to the surrounding river was all frozen with frost.

Leng Tianxing broke out of the ice and said loudly, "That dragon is too strong, I could only escape by releasing the frost spell beforehand, it's coming!"

Gu Qingshan looked towards the depths of the glacier and saw a sinuous and slender black shadow frantically breaking through the ice and swimming, already close to the water.

Gu Qingshan held a formation plate in his hand and shouted lowly, "Formation up!"

But the dao light condensed on the formation plate and instantly disappeared into Gu Qingshan's body.

Boom-.

The ice broke open.

A snow-white jiao dragon flew out.

In a flash of lightning, Gu Qingshan leapt out of the boat to meet the augur-...

The dragon didn't hesitate to open its giant mouth and bite at Gu Qingshan.

"Watch out!" Leng Tianxing lost his voice.

The boatman squeezed a secret in his hand and coldly watched the scene.

Gu Qingshan's demeanor remained unchanged as he drew his long sword to meet the Jiao Long's fierce fangs that filled his mouth.

In the next instant-.

With a teasing look in its eyes, the Jiao Dragon suddenly picked up speed, its body deftly turning into a circle and instantly arrived behind Gu Qingshan.

With Gu Qingshan's current cultivation, it was impossible to capture its movements!

But I saw the Jiao Dragon open its mouth wide and bite Gu Qingshan viciously.

For a split second, Gu Qingshan pressed his hand on the formation plate!

But countless spiritual lights erupted from the array plate on Gu Qingshan's chest, temporarily holding open the dragon's mouth.

In a flash of lightning, Gu Qingshan held his sword in both hands and stabbed backward flatly.

The secret sword broke the flow of water.

But a magnificent sword Qi erupted out, condensing into the shadow of a giant sword in the dragon's mouth.

The heavens and earth went still.

Thud! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dazzling sword manes burst from the mouth of the jiao dragon, emitting a deafening boom.

The entire dragon didn't even have time to let out a scream before it suddenly turned into a rushing crimson mist and was swept away by the fierce gale.

A reversal of victory or defeat!

In just the blink of an eye, the entire dragon was completely decimated by a single sword, not even a scrap of it left.

Gu Qingshan landed on the ice floe and shook the dragon's blood from the Earth Sword, then tied it around his waist.

He stepped back onto the boat and arched his hand towards the boatman.

"Senior, we can't kill the dragon, but this sword is in my hand-"

"I'll do it."
