The mountain-like black monster was flying upwards in a flexible manner.

When it was several hundred meters away from Gu Qing Shan, the monster suddenly disappeared.

This is

Gu Qing Shan noticed and immediately used [Ground Shrink].

As soon as the monster disappeared, so did Gu Qing Shan.

One man and one monster went out of sight at the same time.

When the monster reappeared, it was at where Gu Qing Shan was before.

and missed Gu Qing Shan again.

Insect of another world, can you only run?

The countless faces on the monsters body mocked him.

Then it felt a sharp pain.

Gu Qing Shan stood right behind it, both swords pierced into its body.

Im only getting into position

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan suddenly activated a Secret Art.

Boom

With his full power, two strikes of [Water Flow Severance] combined into one and exploded all at once inside the monsters body.

Immense sword phantoms erupted in a brilliant light, breaking the monsters black body apart.

Large pieces of the monsters body broke off, dropping from the sky.

It could only let out a short desperate scream.

Without knowing that this was only the beginning.

Gu Qing Shans body moved, his swords flew around leaving countless afterimages, slashing at the monster nonstop.

He was simply too fast!

In the time the monster screamed, Gu Qing Shan had already struck it 36 consecutive times.

From the first Secret Art to the 36th strike, it took him a single blink of the eye, the monster couldnt even react to it.

In the span of one breath, the monsters body had been finely diced by the two swords, scattering around the air.

Having done all that, Gu Qing Shan took his swords and flew backwards.

One sword in front, one sword behind, he was cautiously shielding his body.

Oong? the Chao Yin sword asked in confusion.

Its power level didnt decrease at all, instead its getting stronger Gu Qing Shan said.

As he spoke, the monsters countless body pieces quickly gathered again, writhing.

After just a second, the monster had recovered.

So this insect uses cold weapons

All the faces on the monsters body angrily roared at Gu Qing Shan and spoke.

Gu Qing Shan became more cautious.

Teleportation, indiscriminate devouring, void evasion, body parts fusion recovery, every single one of these characteristics were powerful.

To a cold weapon user, monsters that had a quick recovering characteristic were quite hard to deal with.

Furthermore, it knows how to judge my battle style.

This monster

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, the monster had already moved.

This time, it didnt use its teleportation abilities to suddenly approach him, instead made some distance from Gu Qing Shan.

Your swords are very fast, it mustve killed quite a few people who couldnt react in time. But next, I will have you experience ultimate despair the countless faces spoke.

Its black body began to writhe chaotically again.

The faces appeared to be in pain.

One of the faces suddenly detached itself from the monsters body.

This seemed to be the signal.

Five faces, dozen faces, hundred faces, thousands of faces.

Over a hundred thousand faces detached from the monsters body, lightly hovering around it.

A particularly mature male face silently hovered forward.

In a flash, it travelled a long distance and appeared in the sky.

Then it disappeared again.

Consecutive teleportation?

Gu Qing Shans eyebrows twitched, thrusting his sword forward.

As soon as the face appeared, it was pierced by the Earth sword.

The male face screamed.

Sword phantoms flashed.

The face was cut to pieces.

Gu Qing Shan managed to kill it in one strike, but he wasnt at all glad.

This face was much more flexible compared to the mountain-like monster.

It can teleport twice in a row!

If all the faces were like this

Gu Qing Shans gaze turned to the monster.

Sure enough, all the faces around the monster disappeared at once.

They flashed once to approach Gu Qing Shan, then came right before Gu Qing Shan in the second flash.

They appeared all around him, wanting to tear his body apart with their teeth.

In that split second, both of Gu Qing Shans swords attacked.

Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow]

Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow]

Two [Drawn Shadow]s bloomed to form black sword shadows without leaving any gap, slashing back and forth nonstop in the sky.

Sha sha sha sha sha!

All the monsters faces were cut apart, screaming as they faded away.

The black sword shadows gradually faded as well.

Gu Qing Shan appeared again.

With both swords in hand, he was staring down the monster.

The faces were growing back on its body.

They were all glaring at Gu Qing Shan, discussing.

His reaction is too fast

His sword is impressive

We need to think of something else to eat his flesh

Then lets use that attack

As their discussing voices came out, the faces quickly filled the monsters entire body again.

Every single face that was killed was revived on its body.

Revival? So it has an ability like that as well?

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

He was also observing it, trying to find its weakness.

Looks like Ill have to try attacking its main body again, hopefully it doesnt have the annoying revival property as well.

While Gu Qing Shan thought that, all the faces on the monsters body opened their mouths.

AaaaAAAaaa

They let out a blood-curdling scream.

From this scream, various illusions appeared.

A vast burning land appeared floating in the sky as countless ghosts and revenants gathered, looking down at Gu Qing Shan as if waiting to attack him.

All of a sudden, a 7-colored light appeared from Gu Qing Shans body.

From the void of space, golden petals and flowers appeared together with various beasts of luck.

This was the Guardian Deity Secret Art that the Great Monk of Sorrow gave him after the decisive battle in the cultivation world.

Whenever Gu Qing Shans soul vessel came under attack, this Secret Art would automatically activate to counteract it.

But obviously, the opponent was too strong this time around.

As soon as the 6 armed deities appeared, they started becoming faint.

Before they could protect Gu Qing Shan, they were already shattered.

Gu Qing Shan felt an intense headache and an immense pulling force acting on him.

Not good!

His expression changed, quickly taking out a formation plate and consecutively arranged soundproof formations.

Shortly after, the noises disappeared, the illusions became faint and the ghosts and revenants also faded away.

But until the very last moment, those ghosts and revenants were still staring straight at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan realized.

This wasnt a simple soul vessel attack.

This was some sort of combination attack that really could have ejected me to another world.

In the brief moments just now, Gu Qing Shan could almost feel the existence of that other world.

To have so many skills, this monster was truly terrifying.

While he was thinking, the monsters body started to writhe again, seemingly preparing for a new round of attacks.

This time, it sprouted a pair of jet black arms.

The monster waved these arms to create a zone of darkness.

This darkness quickly spread all around.

From the looks of it, this monster was about to unleash some sort of spell.

Gu Qing Shans gaze became tense.

I cant let it keep going like this!

As he raised his sword, another figure had already jumped out towards the black monster.

It was an old man covered in blood.

Ah? There was still someone left alive? the monster was shocked.

The old man took a few steps before his body suddenly magnified.

Crash!

The old man charged straight into the monster, sending it flying, crashing through countless coral buildings before landing several hundred meters away.

The darkness around them disappeared as the monsters spell was cut-off.

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

Because the old man had just turned into an ancient life form, exactly the same as the corpse he saw in the divine temple.

The ancient creature looked similar to humans, but compared to humans, they were noticeably uglier and fiercer.

But this ugliness and fierceness combined created an air of solemnity and majesty instead.

Perhaps the people of this world can turn into the ancient life forms?

Which means, the corpse of the ancient creature I saw on top was the corpse of people of this world?

No.

Thats not correct.

Perhaps not everyone in this world can turn into an ancient life form.

Otherwise, so many people wouldnt have fallen victim to the monster so easily.

Probably, only a small portion of people in this world have that ability.

Suddenly, the ancient creature looked up at Gu Qing Shan.

Those attacks are useless, not even my attack can do anything to it!

The ancient creature loudly told him: I can feel the power of Lightning in your body, only Lightning can counter it
