Chapter 1076: Encounter

The group started to head towards Gu Qing Shan with clear hostile intent.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t bother to keep a low profile any longer.

He simply headed towards the group while wielding his two swords.

Seeing him so nonchalant, the leader shouted: “Test his mettle”

The group stopped.

One of them chanted an incantation with a staff in front of his chest before stabbing it onto the ground.

“Come, Great Elephant of Anti-magic!”

Roar!!!

A giant elephant who donned a suit of pure wait armor appeared from thin air, landing on the small square.

Its body was big enough that the ground beneath the square trembled from the impact.

Everyone in its vicinity swiftly took their distance.

This was a unique magical creature, not only was it naturally bulky, but it was also born with very high magical resistance, which allowed it to be an excellent scout in both combat and exploration.

——-anyone who arrived here was allowed to keep only a single ability.

And this summoning ability was the one that this person decided to retain after losing all of his powers.

Using the Great Elephant of Anti-magic to fight would not only serve to probe the other party’s power, but it would also prevent casualties for people on their side.

This was an excellent strategy.

Unfortunately, the one they faced was Gu Qing Shan.

———a swordsman who had the Earth sword with the power of [Sanctuary].

The elephant charged towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t bother to use any techniques, simply took a step forward and heavily swung forward with his sword.

[Sanctuary] was activated!

This strike was 1001 times heavier than the elephant’s own weight and was all focused on the elephant’s head.

Everyone at the scene saw their vision turning blurred.

A faint white and red shadow shot backward like a storm and struck the group of people hiding behind the elephant, the extreme speed blew them all completely away without leaving any room to react.

——–everyone here were now ordinary people except for one chosen ability; how could they react to this attack in the first place?

The group was swept away by the huge mass of the elephant and crashed into the black mass of light at the end of the passage.

This black mass of light was actually a Consuming Ghost of Primal Chaos who was standing guard at the entrance to the secret passage as per the covenant they made.

At this point, the covenant was about to disappear, but it received some unexpected food, so how could it not devour it all as fast as possible?

And so, the sound of crunching and chewing resounded from within the black mass of light.

“Aaaarrgh!!”

Countless desperate screams and cries resounded throughout the square.

Each of these people had their own unique powerful ability, specifically selected for the sake of team combat and exploration of the secret passage, but before they could even display their abilities, the entire party had already been wiped out.

One strike.

One entire party was eliminated.

The area became silent.

“Natural-born superhuman strength? No, it isn’t just that” someone muttered.

Gu Qing Shan glanced towards the group of masked men.

“I heard that you need strength to obtain the right to survive here?” he asked.

The masked men exchanged glances.

The same person who spoke up before in the group of masked man spoke up: “With your excellency’s strength, you can naturally survive”

Gu Qing Shan was already full of killing intent and ready to continue picking a fight.

But something unexpected happened——–

The black mass of light at the entrance of the tunnel abruptly gave off an intense light, faded into the void, and vanished without a trace.

It had left.

The curse of one hundred million years had ended.

Without anything to obscure the passage, the inside could be seen filled with dust.

——-this passage had remained silent for the longest time, but it had now once again been opened for everyone!

“Go!”

Someone silently shouted.

Numerous figures were flying——- no, nobody had the ability to fly right now, so they were running as fast as they could towards the end of the secret passage.

So many people were trying to get into the passage first in order to reach and secure treasures before anyone else.

But a minority of the people remained still.

Some of these people were being cautious, others had different motives.

“Do not come any closer” Su Xue Er spoke up.

Gu Qing Shan quickly turned to look.

Only to see a group of over a dozen people standing 30 meters away from Su Xue Er.

Su Xue Er held a blood-colored Card in her hand, ready to deploy it at any moment.

The leader of this group came forward and said in a gentle voice: “Young miss, do not be alarmed, we mean you no ill will. I believe that a powerful Card user such as yourself should join a similarly powerful group like ours in order to display your full power”

The leader gestured to his men.

A subordinate put a red potion onto his hand.

“Please take a look, this is a medicine to heal external wounds, if you are willing to join us, I will help mend your wounds” the leader offered.

Su Xue Er coldly laughed: “If you truly mean that, why don’t you have your people try that medicine out first? Why not offer me the medicine before anything else? Why didn’t you come right after the battle was over and instead waited until my stamina was about to run out to make this offer?”

The leader was struck speechless.

His subordinates angrily refuted her: “Oi girlie, we’re sincerely trying to accept you into our group, don’t ask for punishment when you’re being offered a hand!”

Su Xue Er’s voice became frigid and declared: “I don’t need your medicine, leave now. If you take one more step forward, I will perish with you if I have to!”

The Card in her hand began to glow crimson, seemingly about to be activated.

The group couldn’t help but retreat one step.

Everyone saw how this girl fought earlier.

That Card was powerful.

Since everyone could only use a single ability at the moment, that Card really wasn’t easy to deal with.

Gu Qing Shan silently praised her.

So Su Xue Er had finally matured.

He observed the surroundings.

Only to see that everyone who remained was staring at the Card in Su Xue Er’s hand with a faint glow in their eyes.

Gu Qing Shan slowly realized why these people stayed behind.

In the infinite worlds, Cards were actually considered precious items.

Not to mention, Su Xue Er had the Bloodsea deck, which meant that this Card which she specifically chose to retain must be a particularly precious one.

——-not anyone can be like Laura and casually have several hundred Cards on hand.

In fact, Laura was the only one like that within the entire 900 million World Layers.

“Ah…” Su Xue Er scowled.

The bleeding on her right arm just became worse.

Quite obviously, her wounds were quite severe.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t wait any longer——

Wielding his sword, he quickly approached Su Xue Er.

Everyone noticed his movement.

Does this guy intend to test out that girlie’s power?

Oh right, he came late so he didn’t see just how powerful that girlie is.

—–let him court death, maybe they can kill off one another.

With that thought in mind, everyone quickly made way.

Su Xue Er also noticed his unbelievably handsome guy approaching her.

He just killed an entire party with one strike of his sword, a terrifyingly strong one!

“Do not come any closer, unless you want to die!”

Su Xue Er coldly declared.

The crimson glow from the Card in her hand became even brighter.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan was about 20 steps away from her, so he spoke: “Stop trying to show off, you’re still putting up a front while being that heavily injured”

This sounded like two acquaintances chatting.

Su Xue Er was surprised.

A lot of people noticed the change in Su Xue Er’s expression.

——-she doesn’t recognize him.

Someone purposely spoke up: “Brother, this group clearly holds good intentions, this girlie isn’t simple, try to be careful”

Someone else followed up: “It makes sense for her to stay on guard, who knows what kind of intention he has, trying to get close to her at this point”

The leader of the group from earlier also spoke up: “Expert please, if you can—–”

Their words were cut off by Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan looked at Su Xue Er and stated: “Three skewers of chicken feet, two fresh oysters, ten skewers of grilled meat, one smoked sausage, one portion of fermented tofu; everything slightly spicy, with a cup of lemonade or orange juice”

Su Xue Er’s killing intent vanished, her pretty eyes opened wide as she pointed at Gu Qing Shan with the hand holding the Card.

She was still in disbelief, only asking after a long pause: “You… then… what if I’m still hungry?”

“Then one portion of stir-fry rice noodles—— but you’ll only eat half, the other half is left for me” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Why would I leave it for you?”

“Because eating too much will make you fat, being too fat is bad”

“Ah…

Su Xue Er continued staring at him in shock, still shaken from the encounter.

These were all things that she liked to order when eating at Gu Qing Shan’s BBQ stand.

Gu Qing Shan shrugged and continued: “I look a bit different now because Impartial Goddess altered my appearance, I just hope you won’t hate me for it”

Impartial Goddess!

What a familiar name.

Did Impartial Goddess tell him my whereabouts so that he could come looking for me?

If that’s the case, I need to sincerely thank Impartial Goddess when we return.

Su Xue Er silently vowed to herself.

“Hey, your current appearance is a bit too handsome, I’m not used to it, can you still turn back?” Su Xue Er smiled and asked.

“Of course I can” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“That’s good to hear”

Su Xue Er sighed in relief and calmed down.

Her body wobbled slightly.

—–a chance!

Several people were about to spring into action.

But several images split off from Gu Qing Shan’s body and blocked their paths.

What!?

Why does he still have an ability?

What can these images do?

The people cautiously stepped back.

At this time, Gu Qing Shan had already walked forward and embraced Su Xue Er.

“Don’t worry, I’m here now”

He whispered.
