Chapter 963: The Demon Dragon Is Coming

Regardless of how Gu Qing Shan tried to refuse, Laura insisted that he use that broken arm.

She even threatened him that if he doesn’t need it, she would simply throw it away into the space vortex.

Having no other choice, Gu Qing Shan accepted her goodwill.

As he held the wooden arm, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[Occult-type item: A Lending Hand (two-of-a-kind: because there is the other arm)]

[This item is able to detect and understand the wielder’s inner wish, predicting any danger that might arrive in the wielder’s future, as well as bypassing the limit of Space-Time to save a mutual saviour of the wielder]

[Remaining use: 1/2]

[How to use:]

[Step 1: Pick it up;]

[Step 2: Use it to grab the void of space]

[Step 3: Save and transport a mutual saviour who’s in a state of danger to where you are]

Gu Qing Shan silently felt amazed.

This item had three functions by itself, while also having the ability to save someone in danger bypassing the limit of Space-Time.

——Mystic-type as a whole had always been known for being powerful, and among them, Occultism was infamous for being especially so.

However, Occultism items were too uncommon, so uncommon that one might not even know of their existence in their entire life.

“How do you use this thing, is it difficult?”

Lin was standing with her arms crossed on the side, asking with intrigue.

Gu Qing Shan read through the glowing lines of text on the War God UI and replied:

“Doesn’t seem to be very hard”

Saying so, he held the shoulder end of the wooden arm and tried grabbing something in the void of space.

The arm swept through the void of space, then returned.

——-without catching anything.

The three of them all felt confused.

“Hey, why didn’t you catch any mutual saviour just now?” Laura couldn’t help herself asking.

「 It’s like this—— I did grab someone in danger just now, but he immediately breathed his last, so I let him go 」 the wooden arm replied.

“That’s not very trustworthy” Gu Qing Shan said with disappointment.

The eye on the wooden arm opened wide and explained: 「 Brat, you should have some self-consciousness 」

“Self-consciousness?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The wooden arm helplessly explained: 「 It’s extremely hard to find someone suitable to be the mutual saviour for someone like you 」

“Then what should I do now?” Gu Qing Shan also had nothing to say.

「 Let me look again, I’ll take a good long look this time around 」

The eye on the wooden arm looked into the void, constantly shifting around as if to peer into countless worlds.

All of a sudden, it loudly shouted:

「 Hurry, use everything you have and grab again—— I found an excellent ally for you, but he’s in such extreme danger that he’s already about to die 」

Gu Qing Shan hurriedly wielded the wooden arm and reached into the void of space again.

Learning from his experience, Gu Qing Shan even used a sword seal in order to speed it up and quickly grab the dying person.

The wooden arm sunk into the void of space.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt the arm becoming heavy.

“Got them!”

He shouted, both hands grabbing the wooden arm and suddenly pulled back…

…

At the same time.

The 900 million World Layers.

The Fallen Zones.

A certain ruined world that was close to the Strife Zones.

The Soul Shrieker was looking down from above.

The world was shaking, trembling, collapsing.

Under its constant attacks, the world was about to be thoroughly destroyed.

「『 Against the countless [Chaos], even you will lose your life 」』the Soul Shrieker declared triumphantly.

Facing him, the man was kneeling with one knee on the ground, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.

He calmly replied: “It’s a shame my main body isn’t here, otherwise—–”

The Soul Shrieker curtly replied: 「『 You won’t have the chance. I’m constantly gaining more and more power from [Chaos] as we speak. By the time your main body makes it to this place from the bottom of the Eternal Abyss, I will no longer fear you 」』

『「 Now die! 』」

Endless power erupted from its body.

The void of space itself was warped and spread to both sides.

Within the intense wind, an attack that contained the power of [Chaos] arrived!

The man heavily sighed as his gaze became sharp.

Even if this is the last moment of my life, I will face it head on!

He was about to attack with all his strength as well.

Boom!

The boundless power of [Chaos] emerged and pressed down on him in an unstoppable manner.

Right at this moment, a strange wooden arm suddenly reached out, grabbed the man, then vanished from this world.

「『 NO——-! 」』

The Soul Shrieker furiously roared.

In the blink of an eye, it had reached the ground.

But there was already nothing left.

Only the lingering scent of scattering spatial fluctuations remained.

The Soul Shrieker quickly crouched down, closed its eyes, and carefully sensed the spatial fluctuations.

『「 It’s close to the Mystic Zones…』」

「『 Too far away 」』the Soul Shrieker regretfully said, 「『 No, I need to travel the Strife Zones and eliminate the [Order], this is the most important matter right now! 」』

It stood up, leapt into the air, and left the destroyed world

…

On the other side.

Bam!

A figure dropped on the ground.

When everyone looked, they found that it was a man covered in dust.

The man was heavily wounded all over his body, enough for him to pass out from it.

The wooden arm sighed in relief and spoke: 「 There, he’s still breathing, although just barely. But for entities like him, as long as he isn’t attacked by ‘that’ kind of power, he’ll gradually heal just fine 」

「 My work here is done, farewell 」

The wooden arm waved to Gu Qing Shan, Laura, and Lin.

It shot straight up and vanished from their sights.

The three of them pulled back their gazes and turned back to the ground.

The man seemed to have been dug out from some sort of collapsed ruin, covered in so much dust that his face couldn’t be seen.

“Who’s he?” Laura asked.

“If you don’t know, I definitely don’t know” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He formed a hand seal.

It was the Cleansing seal.

All the dust detached from his body and scattered outside the Bramble Bird ship.

The man’s appearance and clothing were now clearly visible to everyone.

Looking at him Lin was a bit shocked.

Why does he look like the legendary…

She silently muttered, crouched down, and carefully checked the man on the ground.

There are no abnormalities with his body.

This is a completely normal human male with a trendy hairstyle as well as a pair of black sunglasses on his nose.

How could that personage know about any of this?

Even more importantly, with how terrifyingly strong that personage is, how could he have gotten beat up to this degree?

—–right, it’s completely impossible.

Lin slowly calmed down.

Gu Qing Shan checked the man’s wounds.

“Hm… he’s wounded quite badly, but the wooden arm claimed that he wouldn’t die, so I’ll give him some first aid before anything else”

Gu Qing Shan said.

At this point, the Bramble Bird ship abruptly rumbled and stopped in place.

As if something had stopped the ship in its tracks not letting it travel forward.

Lin and Laura looked up at the same time.

In the space vortex just ahead of them, airships after airships were manifesting out of thin air.

These airships were so numerous that they had completely blocked their forward path.

“Let’s change direction” Lin said indifferently.

“There’s no time” Laura replied.

More and more ships were showing up all around them.

These airships had completely surrounded Laura’s ship, making sure that there wasn’t a single gap where they could slip out from.

A group of Professionists jumped out from the airships towards the Bramble Bird ship.

“Give us the Bramble Bird Empress!”

The leader shouted.

Laura ran to hide behind Gu Qing Shan and poked him with her finger: “What now? I’m not an expert at fighting”

Gu Qing Shan still concentrated on treating the man’s wounds.

“Lin”

He simply replied.

Lin looked at him, then looked at Laura’s begging expression and smiled: “Usually I won’t refuse a fight, but…”

“Is something troubling you, big sis?” Laura asked right away.

“I’m not troubled by anything, it’s just that swatting flies is a really boring job” Lin replied.

Her slender body lowered just a bit, took a stance on the ship, and slowly threw a single punch towards the void of space.

While it was indeed just a single punch…

On its way forward, the punch vibrated countless times at a practically imperceivable speed before reaching its pinnacle.

In front, behind, above, below, left, right.

All the Professionists and their airships that surrounded the Bramble Bird ship were crushed all at once by the abrupt shockwaves that appeared out of nowhere.

Within the space vortex, the bright red hue suddenly filled the air, then was swiftly swept away by the intense wind.

This was an incredible level of martial arts expertise.

At her peak, Lin was simply this powerful!

The rowdy space vortex returned to peace by a single punch.

“I really don’t like to bully the weak, but if you’re provoking me, you should be responsible for your own life and death”

Lin pulled her punch back and calmly said.

…

At the same time.

In the faraway Strife Zones.

The Abyssal Demon Dragon was standing among countless treasures, carefully checking the recorded treasure list.

All of a sudden, a devout and panicked voice sounded from the void of space:

[Benevolent God, we have something to report to you]

The Demon Dragon couldn’t help but scowl, continued checking the treasures, and spoke: 「 What is it? My believer 」

[The people we sent to the hidden current within the space vortex leading into the Mystic Zones, tasked with intercepting the Bramble Bird Empress’ ship have all been killed]

「 What?! 」

The Demon Dragon abruptly looked up and solemnly questioned.

The voice became even tenser and continued to report: [A Combatant that is far above what we can handle is protecting the Bramble Bird Empress. She killed everyone on our side in the blink of an eye]

「 Was it the Bramble Great Tree? 」

[It was not, according to our analysis, it was the Empress’ personal guard]

「 Personal guard? Very well, I understand, you are dismissed 」

[Yes]

The Abyssal Demon Dragon silently stood still in thought for a while.

「 Such a powerful guard… how strange 」

He muttered and slowly made his decision.

「 Seems like I’ll have to make a trip myself 」

「 Regardless of what happens, the Empress of the treasures must become my slave! 」
