Zhang Ying Hao agreed: “I guess that’s one way, since we’re living people, we can’t go to Huang Quan’s h.e.l.l to investigate the situation anyways”

“Yeah, I definitely have to find out what’s going on with Huang Quan” saying so, Gu Qing Shan took out his Holo-Brain and contacted the President.

An hour later.

A few hundred shuttles arrived at this part of the ocean.

A few high-ranking officers came into Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao’s shuttle.

“Mr. Gu, pleased to be here, how can we be of service?” one of the officers asked.

Lot of the events that happened during the past few days have been made known across the Confederate, so everyone here knows that Mr. Gu is a world-cla.s.s scientist.

——-as well as a powerful Professionist.

“Are you going to kill a few sea creatures?” another officer asked.

“No, everyone can just make a formation with your shuttles behind mine”

“A show of power?” a colonel asked in confusion, “will the sea creatures understand that?”

“Our target isn’t a sea creature, he’s a guy who’s even stronger than the sea creatures”

“Please arrange our strategy”

“You won’t need to act”

The officers exchanged glances.

No need to act? Then what are we here for?

Gu Qing Shan smiled and explained: “With you here, our lineup will look very intimidating, and what I need most right now is a huge intimidation factor to deter him”

The officers could only return to their respective shuttles.

Following the black cat’s direction, over a hundred armed shuttles formed a formation and headed for their destination.

“How is it precious?” Zhang Ying Hao held the black cat up and asked softly.

“Meow~” the black cat answered.

Zhang Ying Hao looked at Gu Qing Shan and spoke: “It said we’re here, he’s right beneath us”

“Very well, have everyone scattered and surround this area” Gu Qing Shan ordered.

[Understood, sir] Impartial G.o.ddess answered.

On the screen, they could see the armed shuttles form a proper surround to enclose the frozen sea below.

Below the frozen sea, a few naive giant sea creatures looked up at the shuttles that filled the sky, roaring in anger.

They can’t attack them since the shuttles were in the sky.

Gu Qing Shan patted Zhang Ying Hao shoulder and walked to the shuttle door.

“I’ll go find him, you’re in charge of command, keep touch” Gu Qing Shan said.

The door opened.

Gu Qing Shan came out of the shuttle and formed a hand seal.

The Earth Sword turned into a streak of light and jetted down.

5 blinding silver stars manifested in the sky, stabbed through one of the sea creatures that had gathered on top of the ice.

The sea creature’s roar stopped.

Its body was diced into mush, cras.h.i.+ng down through the ice and back into the ocean.

On the white icy surface, a b.l.o.o.d.y red hole was carved open.

Of course the hole didn’t last for too long as the ice was fixing itself up so fast that you could see it with your eyes.

But Gu Qing Shan just stood in the air, manipulating a sword flying back and forth, dispatching sea creatures one after another.

There were numerous sea creatures around, once they noticed Gu Qing Shan, they would always jump up to try and devour him.

Wherever the Earth Sword went, dead sea creatures followed.

[Attention all personnel, attention all personnel, the monster has appeared!] Zhang Ying Hao spoke into the intercom.

On their respective shuttles, every commander appeared serious as they heard that.

“Turn on the 360 degrees’ outer surveillance cameras!” they all ordered.

Everyone was solemnly observing the scene outside.

[Remember this monster clearly and stay away from him, lest you get injured accidentally] Zhang Ying Hao very sincerely told them.

“Mr. Zhang, which monster are you talking about exactly?” one of the officers asked in confusion.

[Gu Qing Shan]

“…”

Everyone looked back.

What they saw was Gu Qing Shan standing still in midair as a streak of light dashed around circling him, occasionally flying out to kill the sea creatures.

That streak of light is exceptionally powerful, enough to punch holes through the sea creatures like b.u.t.ter.

Nothing could stop that streak of light.

One of the sea creatures roared, wanting to kill this human.

But Gu Qing Shan only s.h.i.+fted his body slightly to fly upwards.

Sea creatures can’t fly.

The streak of light flashed a few times, turning this sea creature into a huge corpse just like the rest.

In a matter of minutes, he had already cleaned up all the sea creatures.

There was only one left.

This was a human-bodied, octopus-headed giant monster.

It would always dodge and avoid whenever Gu Qing Shan attacked.

“Black cloaked skeleton, I know it’s you, I have a few things that I need answered” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

The giant sea creature floated on the water, then suddenly spoke in a hoa.r.s.e, human voice: 「 I have no obligation to answer anything 」

It turns out this sea creature was actually the black cloaked skeleton.

It somehow had a method to hide inside a sea creature’s body!

Undoubtedly, sea creatures are very far from human surveillance since they live in the ocean.

If it attempted to do anything while inside a sea creature, no human would ever find out!

Gu Qing Shan asked: “Not even a little chat?”

The octopus sea creature didn’t answer.

It broke the ice where it was thinnest, dived in and headed deep into the ocean.

The oceans are the sea creatures’ territory.

If Gu Qing Shan dares to get into the water to fight him, he would instead welcome it.

No matter how much destructive power he has, being in the water will limit him one way or another.

Thinking that, the black cloaked skeleton sped up his dive.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and was about to act, but then a streak of light came up from the water, floating by Gu Qing Shan.

The Chao Yin Sword.

The Chao Yin Sword’s hilt started to shake up at him, as if telling Gu Qing Shan to quickly grab it.

Gu Qing Shan held the sword.

Not waiting for the War G.o.d UI to remind him, Gu Qing Shan infused the sword with his Soul Points.

——-after using it so many times, Gu Qing Shan can now sense its existence

This was similar to spirit energy, as he used it more, his experience slowly acc.u.mulated.

Receiving Soul Points, the Chao Yin Sword started to let out a faint glow.

The sound of the flowing tides started to resound from the sword.

Once again, the 4 characters from Shen Wu world manifested on the sword blade again.

Even a sea of pain will pa.s.s.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly understood.

“Split!” he muttered.

The Chao Yin Sword shook.

With impressive speed, the sea began to open up in front of Gu Qing Shan.

Originally, the sea creature that the black cloaked skeleton possessed wanted to dive down with everything it had.

But the very next second, all the water around the sea creature had disappeared.

Above, around, below, not a single drop of water existed within 10 meters of the sea creature.

It was so frightened that it tried to reach for the sea just a few meters away.

But no matter how it tried, the seawater around quickly avoided it, as if rejecting its entry.

Without water to float in, all that’s below is a bottomless abyss.

「 Aaaaaah—-」

The sea creature screamed in a human voice below falling into the abyss.

All the Confederate military men around opened their mouths and eyes wide as they saw this.

Zhang Ying Hao sighed, then took the intercom: [This isn’t a monster, I repeat, this isn’t a monster, this is G.o.d]

At this moment, Gu Qing Shan finally understood what the Chao Yin Sword’s Thaumaturgy meant.

——–any obstacles born of water can be solved with the Chao Yin Sword!

This is what ‘Even a sea of pain will pa.s.s’ means!

No wonder the Shen Wu world’s Divinity forged this sword in order to become a pillar to the sea.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the War G.o.d UI.

His Soul Points was decreasing at a rate of 10 points per second.

Gu Qing Shan held the Chao Yin Sword and lightly swung.

Poohm!

The sea began to close up again!

The water around the octopus’s sea creature once again surrounded it, slowing its descent.

Following that, an immense force shot the octopus sea creature up and out from the sea.

Bam!

A dull sound of impact.

The sea creature landed back on the water surface, but this time it didn’t sink.

The sea had literally rejected it.

“Now we can talk” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

The sea creature glared at him furiously.

All of a sudden, a black shadow rose from the sea creature, turning into the black cloaked skeleton.

The black cloaked skeleton stood hovering in the air, his hand held an icy sword, emitting intense killing intent.

Gu Qing Shan nonchalantly continued: “As the first monarch of the Frozen h.e.l.l to descend on the Human Realm, I bet you paid quite a heavy price”

「 What exactly do you want to say? 」the black cloaked skeleton was irritated for being poked at a painful place and asked.

For such a terrifying monster to have possessed a mere sea creature, all the military men surrounding this area were shocked.

Zhang Ying Hao held the intercom and spoke very solemnly: [Stay calm, keep steady hand on your weapons and do not fire]

“Roger!”

The commanders responded.

On the night sky.

A conversation that could affect the fate of the entire world was commencing.

Gu Qing Shan spoke first: “I’ll have to say, every time that you fall into slumber, I can always find you. Just like this time”

「 And then what? 」 the black cloaked skeleton asked.

“You can try taking a look around” Gu Qing Shan answered.

The black cloaked skeleton looked up and evaluated his surroundings.

In the sky, innumerable black shuttles had surrounded this entire area.

「 You actually dispatched an entire nation’s power just to deal with me? 」the black cloaked skeleton asked.

For a few certain things, no matter how strong a single person is, they would still be no match for the power of sheer number and cooperation.

Since he was an Emperor once, he knows better than anyone just how terrifying the combined might of a country could be.

And now, someone has dispatched the power of a whole nation, just to deal with myself.

If that’s the case, then there’s nowhere I can hide, even falling into slumber wouldn’t be an easy task.

The black cloaked skeleton roared in frenzy: 「 What the f.u.c.k! So many monsters are appearing, why must you single me out alone! 」

“Correct, I indeed want to single you out alone” Gu Qing Shan nodded, “if you won’t answer a few small questions of mine, I will keep using the country’s power to pursue you, to make sure you can only fall into slumber again and again”

「 I know you’re investigating the matters regarding Huang Quan, but nothing good will come of this for both you and I! 」the black cloaked skeleton begrudgingly answered him.

It almost seems like he was afraid to talk about this.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t back down: “I don’t need anything good to come of this, I only want to know what happened in Huang Quan”

「 Definitely not! I absolutely cannot tell you 」 the black cloaked skeleton insisted.

“You won’t tell? Very well, then I will keep pursuing you over and over. Even when other powerful dead people from the Frozen h.e.l.l descends, I swear I would still keep pursuing you”

Gu Qing Shan stared at him and stated lightly: “All the way until humanity goes extinct”

「 You d.a.m.n maniac! Why do you insist on interfering with me! 」the black cloaked skeleton really went insane.

If he were to really do that, I’ll be completely stagnant.

At that point, I won’t be able to do anything except watch as the other monsters feast on human souls and become stronger and stronger.

While I myself will be forced into slumber over and over again, not having any chance to gain power.

If those old enemies knew of my situation right now, they will probably laugh themselves awake in the middle of the night. (1)

If worse comes to worst, I might even be unable to stand up to them at all.

I might fare even worse than a slave!

Gu Qing Shan shrugged and smiled: “All of it will be because you refused to answer a few small questions ——truthfully, I’m only going to ask about really simple things, no need to worry”

「 This isn’t ‘a small question’, this is an untouchable subject 」 the black cloaked skeleton’s tone remained firm and serious.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “No no no, all I want to know is a small bit of intelligence, guarantee they won’t trouble you”

“As long as you answer them, I will personally put you to sleep, and guarantee that I won’t bother you again”

Gu Qing Shan took out a box of cigars and have them hover over.

“This is quite the rare article; I know you’ll enjoy them”

“Come, smoke some cigars and tell me a bit about Huang Quan, then peacefully go to sleep”

The black cloaked skeleton glanced at the box of cigar floating in front of himself.

With his eyes, he could obviously tell what quality this is.

This brand of cigar truly used to be the best in the world.

He did like this brand a lot.

This brat is quite observant as well, I only took a light drag in front of him and he already noticed the brand.

Wait!

——-that isn’t the main issue here!

The black cloaked skeleton’s body trembled nonstop, finally unable to control his emotions anymore.

He suddenly started to scream to the sky, his voice echoed everywhere.

「 Aaaaaaaa! f.u.c.k! f.u.c.k! Why did I have to meet such a shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d like you! 」

Note:

(1) laugh themselves awake: this is a Chinese slang, it means that someone hates you so much that they take pleasure from your suffering even in their sleep.
