WAO Chapter 539: 3 breaths
Translated by: La0o9

The frozen wasteland .
The chilling wind blew .
The snowfall was getting thicker .
About a dozen demonized people formed a defensive formation, ready to receive any attack .
Across from them, the frenzied boiling fog from before suddenly calmed down, as if it had lost its drive .
The cold fog silently became still .
“What happened?” someone asked in a low voice .
“Quiet!” the Warrior solemnly shouted .
The other person quickly shut up .
Everyone held their breaths as they stared at the icy sheet of fog without blinking .
A figure appeared from the fog .
Then slowly became clear .
A man wearing golden armor and a silver mask emerged from the fog .
Holding a sword in hand, he was moving towards the group step by step .
“Why is… a man here?” someone asked in shock .
“Must be a summoning technique” someone else said .
A summoning technique------ paying a certain price, forming a contract with certain mysterious existences and summoning them to aid in battle .
Only a summoning technique would be able to explain the current situation .
Everyone briefly thought about it and nodded .
The Warrior on the other hand: “Fools, this isn’t a summoning technique, didn’t you notice the girlie isn’t here anymore?”
While saying that, he was staring straight at the man .
How strange, it gave off such a terrifying presence just now, why did the attack suddenly disappear without a trace?
And this silver mask swordsman, he doesn’t have any presence at all .
Is he bluffing, or is he actually hiding his strength?
The subordinates all suddenly realized .
As they carefully sensed the inside of the fog, they indeed didn’t find any trace of that girl .
That’s right, there’s no such thing as a summoning technique that can make the summoner disappear .
Which means, this golden armor swordsman must be that girl?
But their statures look different .

They all exchanged glances, feeling the situation to be a bit weird .
“Boss, what do we do now?” someone tried asking .
“Don’t worry, no matter what he is, he’ll just become our Soul Points in the end” the Warrior declared .
He held his shield tight and stepped out from the group .
“Where’s the girl?” the asked the golden armored swordsman .
The swordsman was still walking forward bit by bit, answering him: “You shouldn’t have asked that”
“Why not?”
“She’s mine”
“Who are you? Answer me, or I’ll kill you right now” the Warrior threatened .
He raised his shield, preparing for battle .
Gu Qing Shan stopped .
He evaluated the enemy first before looking at the group behind him .
The other people were also prepared to defend themselves .
With their unified defensive formation, it can be seen that they were all battle veterans .
…and besides their own strength, they can always exchange for more items from [Kindling] .
Fooling them isn’t going to be easy .
Gu Qing Shan sighed, cracking his stiff neck .
“If you want to know who I am, you need to survive first”
Saying so, he disappeared .
A thick metal shield appeared where he originally stood .
This was the tower shield that the Warrior was using to block himself .
At the same time, Gu Qing Shan stepped closer to the Warrior and thrust into his chest .
This was a strike without any warning .
While being stabbed, the Warrior smirked: “Want to kill me? I will-----”
He bulked up every muscle in his many, clamping the sword down .
Since he has no way to pull the sword back out, if he lets go, I’ll punch him to death .
While the Warrior prepared his next move, his enemy had already continued his attack .
Gu Qing Shan raised his sword .
The Warrior was lifted up with it .

The sword was swung outwards .
The Warrior was tossed to the air, flying towards his subordinates .
“Quickly, catch the boss!”
The others ignored their defensive formation and hurriedly prepared to catch him .
The Warrior landed .
It was lucky that his men squarely caught him .
But the Warrior disappeared again .
A blue-dress girl appeared in his place, standing right in the middle of the group of demonized people .
She attacked .
Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow]
In a flash, layers upon layers of sword shadows bloomed .
Countless sword shadows shuffled, cut, weaved between the demonized group .
“No, my spell is unable to defend against this attack!” someone shouted .
Boom!
A thick blood mist erupted as desperate screams came all around .
On the other side, after the Warrior changed places with Shannu, he was standing in front of Gu Qing Shan once again .
He didn’t know what happened at all, only that he once again found himself in front of the enemy after his vision blurred .
The Warrior pulled out a spear, shouting: “You demon, I’ll kill-------”
But Gu Qing Shan was waiting for this moment .
His sword flashed .
Oong----
The Earth sword left afterimages as it swept through the Warrior’s neck with a high-pitched sound of the blade slicing through the air .
His head took flight .
The Warrior’s body was still standing in place with a spear that he just raised .
The headless body stood still, as if it was unwilling to accept that his life had ended .
“What did you say?” Gu Qing Shan stopped his sword and asked .
Clack—
The head encased in a thick metal helmet dropped down, forming a shallow hole in the ice .
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “Seems like I asked too late”

With a light push, the headless body in full body armor fell with a ‘thud’ .
Gu Qing Shan disappeared again .
He appeared next to Shannu .
At this time, [Drawn Shadow] had just ended .
Those who used spells to protect themselves were instantly killed thanks to Shannu’s anti-Law characteristic .
Those who used armor or items to block managed to survive, albeit still in a horrible state .
Gu Qing Shan raised the Earth sword .
Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow] .
Another [Drawn Shadow]!
Black sword shadows bloomed .
The 86,370,000 tons Earth sword created highly destructive sword shadows that destroyed everything .
The remaining demonized people as well as their defensive items were equally crushed under such power .
Only a single demonized person managed to tell that his death was coming right at the very last moments of this speedy battle .
He roared: “[Kindling], I use all my Soul Points to exchange-----”
Unfortunately, before he could speak the words ‘Demon Lord’, a gigantic light blue sword phantom had already reached him .
This strike was so great that it directly erased him from the frozen wasteland .
Leaving not even a single scrap of flesh .
“Gongzi, it’s good that you’re here, he almost managed to do it”
Shannu still held the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in hand as she commented .
“I’ve been cautious all this time not to let them give [Kindling] any Soul Points to exchange for items”
Gu Qing Shan said .
He withdrew the Earth sword and looked around .
The outer layer of the frozen wasteland was broken through as the corpses of the demonized people floated on the water .
They all died .
From start to end, the battle lasted a mere 3 breaths .
In such a short time, before any of these demonized people managed to tell what was going on, they were already killed .
The full amount of Soul Points they gathered now belonged to Gu Qing Shan .
Shannu stood on one of the floating icebergs, curiously looking at the water below .
“Gongzi, the water below this layer of ice is so deep” she was surprised .
“Yeah, wait a minute, I need to deal with something” Gu Qing Shan spoke .
As he spoke, he glanced at the two System UIs .
A notification popped up on both the blue and red UI .
[You obtained 3165 Soul Points]
There were some more texts on the War God UI .
[You managed to gather 3000 Soul Points, activating the second Iaido]
[Please select the skill you want to use Iaido on]
“I choose the Taiyi Sword Array”
[Please confirm you want to choose this Skill]
“Confirm”
[The Skill has entered a second Iaido state, the next time you use it, its power will increase two-fold]
The text on the blue War God UI gradually faded .
A voice came from the red [Kindling] UI .
[You’ve collected quite a bit of Soul Points, you can now exchange for any items with the System]
Saying so, the [Kindling] UI exchange shop automatically opened in front of Gu Qing Shan .
The very first page was filled with various swords .
“All these swords, really…”
Gu Qing Shan clicked his tongue .
He just spent twice as much effort as he did in the battle just now to restrain himself from looking at the swords .
“Thanks for the reminder, but I’ll accumulate more Soul Points to exchange for more precious things” Gu Qing Shan replied .
[The amount of Soul Points you have should be more than enough to exchange for the most powerful swords here, what else do you want to exchange?] [Kindling] couldn’t help but ask him .
Gu Qing Shan coldly scoffed .
------you want Soul Points?
Heh .
“I want this” he selected another tab on the UI .
This tab showed various kinds of Demon Lords .
Gu Qing Shan pointed at the most powerful Demon Lord there and spoke: “I want this”
This was a human-bodied monster with a wolf head wearing a crown .
It had its eyes closed, silently hovering on the UI .
Below, this description was written:
[Dead Soul Demon King, Chaotic Demon Lord . Exchange price: 100,000 Soul Points]
