Chapter 405: Shannu’s battle.

Gu Qing Shan sat bored on the elephant steed.

The four Asuras’ battle below couldn’t rile his attention in the least.

He has gained the battle experiences of the Asura King.

So in Gu Qing Shan’s eyes, these four Kings are still a bit inferior to the Asura King.

Perhaps because they were battling in front of the entire Asura tribe, their battle was b.l.o.o.d.y and fierce.

All four Kings were battling in full force.

A winner should appear not too long after this.

“How troublesome”

Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword suddenly appeared next to him.

Shannu’s voice came.

“Gongzi, will you be fighting later on?”

“I will”

“But this body of yours might not be able to last”

“I’ll just have to bet everything and try”

“How about… I do it?”

“Hm?”

Gu Qing Shan was intrigued by her suggestion.

…

In front of the elephant.

The battle was about to be over.

Three of the kings were lying still on the ground, unmoving.

One dead, one heavily wounded, one unconscious.

The only one left standing is King Rahu.

So he really did win.

Gu Qing Shan frowned.

Right now, King Rahu was bloodied all over, using his Blade as a cane to prop himself up.

Dragging his feet forward, he was about to take the Asura scepter.

The Asuras of Rahu tribe were ready to cheer.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand.

The Asura King scepter flew back onto the elephant steed.

“What are you doing?” King Rahu asked in a heavy voice.

Gu Qing Shan put the Asura King scepter on the elephant’s back.

He cracked his neck.

“According to the rules of our tribe, you will be receiving the scepter from my hands”

“Then you get down here!” King Rahu shouted.

Gu Qing Shan smiled.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword slowly appeared from the air, grasped in his hand.

He slowly stood up.

“Come up here and get it” he spoke softly.

“I’m already heavily wounded ——” King Rahu loudly refused.

“That’s right, just like me” Gu Qing Shan agreed.

King Rahu went silent.

He glared sharply at Gu Qing Shan.

The four of them had planned it all out to force him to abdicate.

How did it come to this?

All Asura remained silent.

King Rahu is indeed heavily wounded.

But the Asura King was also heavily wounded, proven by his oath to the heaven and earth.

If they battle now, it would still be fair.

“If you don’t dare to come up to take it, then I’ll keep the scepter” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

King Rahu gritted his teeth.

According to the intelligence I got, he is more heavily wounded than I.

If that’s the case, then this isn’t a fatal bet at all.

King Rahu had decided.

“The scepter shall welcome its new master today!”

He jumped high up, heading to the back of the elephant.

His curved blade flashed, releasing a sharp slash.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the slash but didn’t move at all.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword suddenly got out of his hand.

The sword met the blade.

King Rahu’s expression tightened as the blade instantly got away and continued a barrage of 36 attacks in a row.

The sword also didn’t let up, retaliating with 36 slashes of its own.

Wind Slash Style!

This was Gu Qing Shan’s forte!

In Gu Qing Shan’s eyes, he could see Shannu using the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to receive King Rahu’s attacks.

But others could only see the sword attacking by itself, unable to perceive Shannu’s figure at all.

“Such swordsmans.h.i.+p is nothing special after all” King Rahu coldly smirked.

His style abruptly changed.

Flames bursts out from his sword all of a sudden.

Because of this change, King Rahu’s movements stagnated for a split second.

Shannu’s eyes glared.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword turned into a brilliant crescent moon, slas.h.i.+ng horizontally.

Secret Art, [Crescent Slash].

King Rahu’s expression changed, as he hurriedly blocked with his Blade.

But halfway there, the crescent slash disappeared and turned into a sharp stab forward.

King Rahu once again hurriedly changed his attack to receive it.

Clang!

The sword and blade met

He managed to block it!

But then another phantom sword stabbed through his chest from his back.

The second Secret Art

[Swallow Returns]

A Secret Art made for a.s.sa.s.sination.

Shannu had used another of Gu Qing Shan’s signature Secret Arts!

King Rahu opened his eyes wide in disbelief, staring at the sword in his chest

“What kind of… sword style is this…” he was unwilling to accept.

From the void of s.p.a.ce, a cold indifferent female voice came to his ears.

Only King Rahu managed to hear this voice.

“The one that kills you”

Hearing that, King Rahu’s eyes dilated.

Pointing his finger at Gu Qing Shan, he wanted to say something.

But his life has already left his body.

King Rahu dropped to the ground, dead.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword came back to Gu Qing Shan’s hand.

Gu Qing Shan carefully observed the sword.

A thin and slender blade, s.h.i.+ning brilliantly like the water of autumn.

Waves of coldness drifted from the sword.

This was an invincible sword, a sword to cut all Laws, a sword with the wisdom of the living.

Gu Qing Shan’s emotions couldn’t help but well up as he recalled what happened just now.

…

“You mean you can fight on your own?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Yes, but it’s different from other sword spirits that can control themselves” Shannu answered.

In reality, without a sword cultivator to control them with hand seals, normal flying swords are unable to fight on their own.

A flying sword with its own spirit can manipulate the sword to use basic moves like swinging or stabbing.

Just like before in the dark tunnel how the Earth sword dealt with all the demons by itself.

But now Shannu said that she was different to other sword spirits when it comes to fighting on her own.

“How different?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask.

“I will need your help”

“Wouldn’t that just be me throwing the sword? How is that different from me fighting like normal?”

“No, it’ll be me that actually fights, all you need is to be compatible with me ——-are you willing to?”

“I am, but how do I do that?”

“Release your inner sight and link your Though Sea to me”

Gu Qing Shan obediently did that.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword then flew into his Thought Sea.

This was the main difference between a sword saint and a normal sword cultivator.

Sword saints are able to store their swords into their Thought Sea.

To become sword saint again, Gu Qing Shan had accomplished a Quest specifically for this ——to store the Chao Yin sword into his Thought Sea.

This time, it was a sword of Huang Quan that entered his Thought Sea.

In there, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword turned into sparks of light and scattered, then quickly reformed.

“Hm?” Gu Qing Shan raised his eyebrows.

A few lines of glowing text scrolled through the War G.o.d UI.

[You’ve allowed the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to link with your Thought Sea]

[The Six Paths Great Mountain sword have gained all your battle experience and skills]

[Notice: You’ve discovered the third spirit Thaumaturgy of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword: Living’s Wisdom]

[Living’s Wisdom: With your permission, Shannu gains all of your abilities and experience, either using the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to battle for you, or to fight with you side by side]

[Note: When Shannu uses this ability, she is able to choose to hide or reveal herself]

[System notice: Shannu’s power comes from the Great Mountain of Samsara, the stronger you are, the more power she is able to use. So —–wouldn’t a worm, an ant such as you want to quickly become stronger a bit faster?]

Gu Qing Shan was surprised reading through these notifications.

Before he noticed, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword already came out of his Thought Sea and silently hovered by his side.

“Gongzi, I’ll take your place for the next battle, how about it?”

Gu Qing Shan finally regained his senses.

“…hey Shannu…”

“Gongzi?”

“Do the Divinities of Huang Quan know you’re this awesome?”
