Chapter 873: Kicked Out!

Translator:La0o9Editor:La0o9

Several ten thousand years in the present.

The 900 million World Layers.

The Mystic Zones.

A world filled with greenery and vitality.

This was the Bramble Bird Kingdom, the uppermost area of the entire Mystic Zones.

In this world, there existed a Bramble Saint Tree that connected heaven and earth.

It was an entity that even the most powerful Combatants were wary of.

Even the Holy Churches of the Strife Zones and their Demi-gods would not recklessly offend this country.

A certain day.

For some reason, a tree branch abruptly appeared on the Bramble Saint Tree.

This tree branch appeared without any warnings, but it showed up like it belonged there in the first place.

Soon enough, the Bramble Saint Tree noticed the excess branch and connected to it.

Lush green leaves once again covered the branch.

At the same time, the Bramble Saint Tree seemed to have been informed something as an overflowing green glow drifted and lingered around the tree without end.

A few moments later, the Bramble Saint Tree made its decision.

A bright green leaf drifted down with the wind.

The leaf hovered in the air for a few moments before it broke through the void of space and vanished without a trace.

At another location.

The Strife Zones.

A certain highly advanced world.

Laura was standing on top of a viewing platform in the Holy Church of Knowledge to observe the spectacle below.

By standing on this platform, it was possible to view every ongoing battle on the arenas outside at once.

In this world, the Holy Church of Knowledge had this privilege.

Or rather, within the Strife Zones, the seven Holy Churches had the absolute privilege over everyone else.

And after Laura learnt of the secret of the three coins, she had joined the Holy Church of Knowledge and became one of their official Cardinals.

The Bramble Bird general, Illya, arrived from afar and presented her with a newspaper.

“Your majesty, today’s news”

Laura didn’t turn around.

Illya slowly put the newspaper away, thought for a few moments, and commented: “Your majesty, you’ve been standing here for two hours already”

Laura nodded and replied: “I’m watching someone”

“That girl with the mask?” Illya asked while knowing the answer.

Laura contemplated: “Yes, her way of fighting is very similar to Gu Qing Shan, which reminds me of those days”

“She is from a Cultivation-type world, and she has won 20 matches in a row. I’m sure they’re going to send someone at least two stages above her out to eliminate her soon” Illya also looked towards the arena and commented.

“Two stages above? Hm, I suppose only people of that level would be willing to face her right now” Laura muttered with a regretful look on her face.

Such an excellent cultivation-type warrior might lose their life just like that.

“Don’t worry, your majesty. They won’t be too eager about killing this girl” Illya said.

“Ah? Why not?”

“Because during one of her previous matches, her mask happened to be broken once out of carelessness”

“And then?”

“She was very beautiful, many people were mesmerized on the spot”

“Ah, then she’s quite excellent in more ways than one” Laura praised.

Illya noticed how tempted she was and suggested: “If you like her, I can ask her if she’s willing to work for us”

“We do need some personnel from other races, but their identities must at least be clean… wait, let me check her foundations”

Laura took out a mirror from her little backpack and pointed it at the girl in the arena.

This was a Devil’s Viewing Mirror, an item that allowed the user to see through another person’s identity and background, as well as any connections they might have with the user.

This way, even if the person’s background was completely spotless, as long as the other party purposefully drew attention to themselves in order to approach and assassinate the user, the mirror would show their connection as ‘hitman’ and ‘hit target’.

As long as they carried ill-will, they would never escape from this mirror.

Unfortunately, this mirror was a consumable item that would shatter after a single use.

Even so, this item had always been a precious commodity that couldn’t be bought even if you had money.

“Mirror mirror, heed my call. Who is this girl and does she have any connections to me?”

After Laura chanted the incantation, she and Illya both looked into the mirror.

A single figure appeared inside the mirror.

It was Gu Qing Shan.

The two of them stared straight at Gu Qing Shan’s figure for a short while.

This girl actually had a connection with Empress Laura!

And that connection was Gu Qing Shan!

Who could’ve thought, this girl was actually related to Gu Qing Shan somehow!!

“Aaaaaah! She knows Gu Qing Shan! Illya, bring her here, quickly!” Laura screamed.

Illya reacted a bit more calmly: “But the ones behind the arena might not be so willing to give up on her too easily”

Laura stomped her feet, jumped up, and started flying towards the arena.

Her voice traveled through the wind: “If they aren’t willing, I’m going to buy off their entire arena!”

In truth, besides the 7 Holy Churches, there was something else that could cause every living being in the entire Strife Zones to bow down and pray to it with their sincerest hearts.

That was money!

Since Laura was a Cardinal of the Holy Church of Knowledge, and she had practically unlimited money, everything went smoothly.

…

She was a girl of unrivaled beauty.

But even more intense than her beauty was the sharp and chilling killing intent drifting from her body.

As there were only women here, she wasn’t wearing her mask.

Simply by standing there, she gave off an indomitable sensation unlike any other.

As if she no longer cared about her own life and was willing to risk her life at a moment’s notice.

Such an aura from such a person caused even Illya to feel a bit chilly.

“Big sister, what’s your name?” Laura asked.

The slender beauty looked at Laura and asked doubtfully: “I heard that you used a lot of money to stop me from continuing my fight?”

“Her majesty only did it for your own good. You have already become the center of attention, having won so many matches in the row, the arena would surely send out a Combatant who could defeat you without fail in a rigged match to benefit from the next round of bets” Illya explained.

The girl formed a hand seal and summon water to cleanse blood off of her tattered armor, then slowly replied: “I’ve been waiting for exactly that, in order to see if I could break through in a sure-death situation”

“But your actions ruined all of my efforts”

Illya and the Bramble Bird soldiers behind her all appeared surprised.

People who sought to break through and advance in a battle of life and death were certainly not unheard of, but they usually were male and battle lunatics.

Very few women would choose this path.

Laura noticed a look of pain and resolve in her eyes.

She thought briefly about it, then followed a certain instinct and quickly arrived at an answer.

Sighing, Laura climbed down from her seat and walked towards the girl.

“Your majesty” Illya worriedly stepped forward.

Laura put up her hand to stop her and stood right in front of the girl.

“Big sis, I understand you”

Laura grabbed her hand tightly and refused to let go.

Answering the girl’s doubtful gaze, Laura answered: “Gu Qing Shan is like a big brother to me, he once saved my life”

Sure enough, the girl didn’t try to pull her hand back any longer and instead patted the top of Laura’s head with her other hand.

“He’s already dead, but I will continue to advance towards my goal, until one day I’m strong enough to avenge him” the beautiful girl declared.

Laura smiled brightly.

Today was a truly good day.

“Big sis, I’m Laura, what’s your name?”

“I am Ning Yue Chan”

“Big sis, don’t go to the arena anymore, I have a lot of treasures that can help you become stronger, there’s no need to be reserved with me. And also, I’ve found a way—”

At this point, she abruptly stopped.

Laura sensed something and couldn’t help but pause. She clasped her hands together and prayed in a low voice: “O’ Great Saint Tree, I am here to heed your will”

As she finished the prayers, she opened her clasped palms.

A bright green leaf suddenly manifested in Laura’s hands.

Laura held the leaf and silently read the information contained within.

“Aaaaaaa!!!!”

“Big bro is so coooooool!!!!!!!!!”

Laura uttered a high-pitched scream and became uncontrollably excited without knowing what to do.

So she decided to just leap up and hugged Ning Yue Chan tightly.

…

Several ten thousand years in the past.

The Grand Divine Palace.

There was only a single minute left until [Earthen Dual Body] lost its effect.

「 Gu Qing Shan, I will wait for you right after that final moment, as soon as the Abyssal Demon Dragon or the Soul Shrieker obtains the Heaven sword, that moment will surely end 」

「 At that time, I swear that I will make you regret ever being born on this world 」

「 Gu Qing Shan, I will kill every person that you’ve ever cared about and turn them into my slaves. They will be subjected to endless torture within the Abyss 」

「 You are damned for eternity Gu Qing Shan! DO YOU HEAR ME!? 」

The Abyssal Fate Weaver was cursing him with every fiber of her being and the most malicious of tones.

But Gu Qing Shan didn’t care about the Abyssal Fate Weaver.

He was busy.

He had just manipulated the Abyssal Fate Weaver to use the strongest cutting technique she had to cut her own body into countless pieces.

He then opened a pitch-black space vortex.

This was the space vortex that was integrated into the jade disk that led into Xie Dao Ling’s dream, specifically created to mask the existence of the dream.

It led to countless phantom images.

Gu Qing Shan had everyone carry each bit of the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s body and threw them into the space vortex one by one.

As the eternal wind blew inside the space vortex, whenever a body piece was thrown inside, it would immediately be whisked away to some unknown location.

He wasn’t wasting time, there was actually a trick to this.

The Abyssal Fate Weaver’s body wasn’t particularly big, but it can’t be thrown into the space vortex all at once, as that would cause the body parts to be very close to one another.

Luo Bing Li was restrained by the Abyssal Fate Weaver, so as soon as Gu Qing Shan had the Abyssal Fate Weaver release her, she immediately began her revenge.

She was just as black-minded as Gu Qing Shan was, she cut several pieces of rubble from the Divine Palace and tied the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s body pieces to them before throwing them into the space vortex.

As the rubble wasn’t cut evenly, they were swept away in different directions by the chaotic wind of the Space Vortex and separated even further.

It would be hard to locate every piece.

“10 breaths left, gongzi” Shannu reminded him.

“Finally, we’re done!”

Gu Qing Shan looked down.

There wasn’t even a single speck of flesh left on the spotlessly clean floor.

The only part of the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s body left here was her head, which was in Gu Qing Shan’s hands.

The golden thread still connected the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s head and Gu Qing Shan’s hand.

The Abyssal Fate Weaver still couldn’t retaliate at all.

It was now that Gu Qing Shan looked straight at the monster’s head in his hands.

He cleared his throat and spoke:

“Hm, it’s like this, because you’re Eternal and immortal to the point that not even the Bygone Era humans could kill you, I assume thoroughly dealing with you would be a very tough thing to do”

“So how about we play a game instead?”

He continued to prattle on:

“Your body has already been scattered into the space vortex, so they’ll probably land into random places within random phantom images”

“So go ahead and look for every bit of your body again. Personally, I think your bones, claws, and mandibles should be quite easy to find, the only problem would be your torso. Sorry if I cut you too finely, just be a bit more patient during your search, ok?”

“Two breaths!” Luo Bing Li loudly reminded him.

Gu Qing Shan threw the Abyssal Fate Weaver’s head high into the air, took two steps back, and swiftly chased after it.

Bam!

He kicked her head right out!!!

The Abyssal Fate Weaver’s head turned into a comet that drew an arc and vanished into the space vortex.

From afar, her grudge-filled voice could still be heard.

「 GU QING SHAN, SOONER OR LATER YOU WILL FALL INTO MY HANDS! 」

「 I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU!!!! 」

As the head went further and further away, her voice could no longer be heard.
