Chapter 1293: Misinformation

Gu Qing Shan leapt down into the deep cavern.

The intense wind struck the Dragon Rider armor, causing a continuous clanking noise.

This was the ravaging tidal waves of dark power, capable of ripping an unprepared Professionist into pieces.

Fortunately, the Dragon Rider armor was extremely st.u.r.dy and had an extremely high level of elemental resistance, so Gu Qing Shan didn’t need to waste his strength fighting against the storm manifested from the rampaging tidal waves of power.

He concealed his presence and continued heading downwards through the path marked out by the intelligence department.

“That bug’s ability is [Deprivation], but since there’s only one of it, you should enter my Thought Sea for now, don’t reveal the fact that I’m a sword cultivator. I’ll lure it into wasting its ability first” he sent his voice to his four swords.

The swords then hid into his Thought Sea.

Gu Qing Shan continued heading downwards.

Soon enough, he smelled a foul stench.

The rocks and stones around him began to appear uneven but levelled.

This was the trace left by the Brain Eater Demon Bug’s movements.

Its hideout was close.

Gu Qing Shan gradually slowed down, then formed a hand seal.

Elemental Lightning appeared in his hand.

Although he wasn’t an expert at it, he could still unleash some elemental techniques at his cultivation.

A second later——-

Gu Qing Shan’s expression s.h.i.+fted slightly.

A swift figure was approaching him within his inner sight.

Gu Qing Shan abruptly tilted his body.

The figure grazed his original position and struck the black wall.

Clang!

A sharp spike pierced deeply into the wall.

A psychedelically colorful soft-bodied insect appeared in the range of Gu Qing Shan’s vision.

The Brain Eater Demon Bug!

It slightly nodded its head towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

——is it saying hi to me?

He suddenly noticed that the elemental lightning on his fist had completely vanished.

A line of combat description appeared on the War G.o.d UI:

[You’ve been subjected to ‘Deprivation’]

[Your magic casting abilities have been deprived, temporarily unusable until the other party’s death]

[Attention: One Brain Eater Demon Bug can only use ‘Deprivation’ against a single target]

—–so nodding its head was the signal for unleas.h.i.+ng its technique!

The Brain Eater Demon Bug’s body started s.h.i.+fting and excreting drops of foul-smelling liquid, which then turned into finely shaped spikes.

7-8 spikes were all shot at once, spiraling towards Gu Qing Shan!

Gu Qing Shan naturally didn’t want to touch these unknown poisonous spikes, so he immediately used [Ground Shrink] to vanish where he stood.

The black poisonous spikes struck the walls head-on, causing repeated ‘clink clink’ noises.

Zi zi zi—–

The walls were eroded.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows twitched.

The walls of this cavern were actually the bones of the ancient void monster, so it should have been unusually tough.

“If we’re talking about eroding, I also have…”

Gu Qing Shan muttered then pulled out a deep green longbow.

Dreamscape Soul Artifact, Bow of Fallen Souls!

At the very next moment.

Gu Qing Shan found himself completely forgetting how to pull the bowstring.

How is this possible!?

He stared at the longbow and arrow in his hands but found himself unsure how to use them.

——according to the intelligence, one Brain Eater Demon Bug can only seal away one ability.

Could it be…

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze, only to see another Brain Eater Demon Bug sitting next to the previous Brain Eater Demon Bug.

This new Brain Eater Demon Bug was also nodding towards him.

——-so there were two Brain Eater Demon Bugs!

This is completely different from the information provided.

The War G.o.d UI also quickly gave him a reminder:

[The second Brain Eater Demon Bug had deprived you of your archery skills]

In an instant, Gu Qing Shan stowed the bow away and clenched his fist.

[Ethereal – Grand Mountain]!

“Yaaaaah——-”

He shouted, but then noticed that he couldn’t throw this punch no matter how hard he tried.

Another line of glowing text quickly appeared in front of his eyes.

[The third Brain Eater Demon Bug had deprived you of your fist martial arts skills]

At the same time, another Brain Eater Demon Bug appeared out of thin air in Gu Qing Shan’s vision.

It also nodded towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank.

The information is not correct.

Or rather, this information was extremely wrong.

Poisonous spikes that filled almost every corner of s.p.a.ce were shot from the three Brain Eater Demon Bugs.

Gu Qing Shan’s figure flashed, once again using [Ground Shrink] to dodge further away.

He took out the medal, and quickly spoke into it: “Qin, there are three——- no, four Brain Eater Demon Bugs here”

[What!?] Qin fearfully exclaimed.

Noises rang out.

[Please hold on for a bit, I’ll quickly ask for reinforcements!] she hurriedly said.

Gu Qing Shan put the medal away and looked at the four Brain Eater Demon Bugs in front of him.

No wonder the Hitmen sent here previously were all dead.

With four Brain Eater Demon Bugs to seal away four methods of combat, a normal person would have already been killed without being able to do anything.

The fourth Brain Eater Demon Bug was watching Gu Qing Shan, silently waiting.

——waiting to see if he would try something else.

Meanwhile, the other three Brain Eater Demon Bugs were scurrying their ways towards Gu Qing Shan.

“Ah, so they can even coordinate”

Gu Qing Shan muttered, then reached his hand into the void of s.p.a.ce.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword appeared in his grasp.

As soon as the sword appeared, the fourth Brain Eater Demon Bug immediately nodded.

But its movement was nowhere near as fast as Gu Qing Shan!

The sword turned into a cold gleam that slashed through the void of s.p.a.ce, unleas.h.i.+ng an intense tsunami of sword phantoms.

—–Secret Art, [Tsunami]!

This strike was so fast that before the fourth Brain Eater Demon Bug managed to use [Deprivation], it had already been unleashed.

Intense sword phantoms washed over the caverns, swallowing the three Brain Eater Demon Bugs before taking the fourth Brain Eater Demon Bug into it as well.

At the very last moment, the Brain Eater Demon Bug finally accomplished [Deprivation]

Gu Qing Shan’s swordsmans.h.i.+p had been sealed as well.

Rumble rumble rumble———

The tsunami of swords flowed down the cliffside, almost like a towering waterfall.

Gu Qing Shan sheathed his sword, feeling even more alarmed.

Elemental techniques, fist techniques, archery, swordsmans.h.i.+p, everything was deprived from him but didn’t show any signs of being released.

In other words, none of the four Brain Eater Demon Bugs was dead!

Strange, this is only a ‘3+’ job, how could the Brain Eater Demon Bugs stop my sword!?

He could feel the shadow of death pressing closer and closer within his spirit sense, almost suffocatingly so.

I can’t wait any longer.

Gu Qing Shan activated the World Technique in his eye.

Mystery Iris Technique, [Fog Realm Descent]!

Fog manifested from the void of s.p.a.ce, enveloping Gu Qing Shan.

At the last moment, before he left, Gu Qing Shan saw a strange ent.i.ty.

It looked almost humanoid, except it had six pairs of sharp legs, a robust body, as well as a head full of long spiky hair.

This monster stood in front of the four Brain Eater Demon Bugs, stopping all of the sword phantoms.

—-so it was this thing that stopped one of my full-power strikes.

What is it?

It looks almost like an evil creature…

That thought flashed through Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

At the next split second, he disappeared.

Void City.

The Hitman Guild.

Several people had gathered in front of the 7th warp gate.

“So there were a total of four Brain Eater Demon Bugs, no wonder there was a casualty last time” a long-haired man carrying a pair of Blades on his back spoke.

Qin urged him with a hurried voice: “Sir, please quickly come to his aid, otherwise the Hitman codename ‘Fear Fiend King’ might be in very serious trouble”

The long-haired man said casually: “He’ll be fine, he’s the one personally granted a codename by the old man, he won’t die that easily”

“You!” Qin fuzzed up.

“I what? Is a feeble receptionist staff member trying to order me around?” the long-haired man narrowed his eyes.

Gu Qing Shan’s voice suddenly sounded:

“There’s no need to make it hard on a young lady dedicated to her job”

He appeared from the fog and pulled Qin behind him.

The long-haired man looked at him in surprise.

Everyone turned to Gu Qing Shan.

——because there were four layers of faint glowing light around his body, if they didn’t observe clearly, they might not recognize it.

The long-haired man said: “Ah? So you’re still not dead after taking four layers of [Deprivation], seems like my acc.u.mulated points are safe”

Gu Qing Shan turned to Qin; a bit confused.

Qin stuttered in her explanation: “‘Fear Fiend King’, the one in front of you is sir ‘Poison Bee’, he’s an Unlivable Hitman, and it was him who provided information regarding the Brain Eater Demon Bug”

This time, Gu Qing Shan understood.

“‘Poison Bee’, your information was faulty, it almost caused my death” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Nothing but an honest mistake, you’re still alive here, aren’t you?” Poison Bee replied without much care.

Gu Qing Shan’s killing intent surged, grabbing the twin swords Heaven and Earth.

Qin held back his hand, almost begging: “Please don’t do this. Hitmen cannot kill each other, otherwise the entire Guild will go after you!”

Poison Bee crossed his arms: “Heard that? Youngster, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky about this”

Gu Qing Shan slowly sheathed his sword with a calm expression.

“There were four Brain Eater Demon Bugs, so I wasn’t able to fight them off. Most likely, you also ran for your life at the time but were afraid of people finding out, so you made up some information in exchange for points——- or you held a grudge against the Hitman who was killed in action, so you purposely made up fake information, then lured them into taking that job” Gu Qing Shan curtly said.

Poison Bee abruptly turned his head, his gaze towards Gu Qing Shan almost like blades.

Did he know about what I did?

No, he couldn’t.

He only just entered the Guild yesterday; he couldn’t have been related to the dead Hitman in any way.

He shouldn’t know this much.

Then, there’s only one way to explain this.

——this ‘Fear Fiend King’ guy’s head is too sharp.

“Youngster, think carefully before you speak, this Poison Bee has never fled for my life, and I scorn on plotting against anybody” he curtly replied.

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan silently pondered the Brain Eater Demon Bug’s matter.

Poison Bee was gazing at the four layers of light around Gu Qing Shan’s body, pondering something.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at him, then abruptly said:

“Unlivable Hitman Poison Bee, are you saying you can get rid of four Brain Eater Demon Bugs?”

Poison Bee’s eyes twitched, then smirked: “Four Brain Eater Demon Bugs is worth four points——- very well, I’ll show you the power of an Unlivable Hitman”

He walked up to the 7th warp gate and ordered: “Prepare the warp gate for this great one, I’m going to cut ’em down!”

The staff members quickly got to work and activated the warp gate.

Poison Bee pulled out his blade, pointing it at Gu Qing Shan: “You’ll know very soon, in the face of absolute strength, information isn’t that important”

A flash of light.

He was soon transported away.

“Pfft—–”

Suddenly, some laughter could be heard.

At some point, Fog Song was already standing behind the crowd.

There were also several other Hitmen with her.

“I heard that four Brain Eater Demon Bugs who had used up their abilities appeared, too bad Poison Bee was a step quicker” someone spoke full of regrets.

“I know right, this would have been perfect material…”

“Four Brain Eater Demon Bugs who lost their abilities are already valuable enough for me to act, Poison Bee really is fast”

The other Hitmen were rowdily discussing among themselves.

Fog Song looked at Gu Qing Shan and mocked him: “Fool, a Brain Eater Demon Bug can only use [Deprivation] against one target. Since you already took four layers of them, Poison Bee can just go in and harvest those four Brain Eater Demon Bugs without worrying about their headache-inducing [Deprivation]”

“Is that so? His misinformation already caused the death of one person, and almost caused my death as well. Such a person isn’t going to end up with such a good outcome” Gu Qing Shan casually replied.

As soon as he said that.

One of the cards in a staff member’s hands suddenly turned black.

The staff member exclaimed in shock: “Sir Poison Bee is dead!”

Everyone was shocked.

“What’s going on, weren’t there only four Brain Eater Demon Bugs?” Fog Son looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I only fought against four Brain Eater Demon Bugs, I’m even willing to go through lie detection to prove my innocence, however…”

“However what?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Qing Shan appeared sincere, then hesitantly replied: “My battle caused quite a bit of commotion… perhaps something else was attracted”
