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 monster’s body mocked him .
Then it felt a sharp pain .
Gu Qing Shan stood right behind it, both swords pierced into its body .
“I’m 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 monster’s body .
Immense sword phantoms erupted in a brilliant light, breaking the monster’s black body apart .
Large pieces of the monster’s 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 Shan’s 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 couldn’t even react to it .
In the span of one breath, the monster’s 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 didn’t decrease at all, instead it’s getting stronger” Gu Qing Shan said .
As he spoke, the monster’s 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 monster’s 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 didn’t use its teleportation abilities to suddenly approach him, instead made some distance from Gu Qing Shan .
『 Your swords are very fast, it must’ve killed quite a few people who couldn’t 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 monster’s body .
This seemed to be the signal .
Five faces, dozen faces, hundred faces, thousands of faces .
Over a hundred thousand faces detached from the monster’s 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 Shan’s 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 wasn’t 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 Shan’s 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 Shan’s 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 monster’s 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 let’s use that attack 』
As their discussing voices came out, the faces quickly filled the monster’s 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 I’ll have to try attacking its main body again, hopefully it doesn’t have the annoying revival property as well .
While Gu Qing Shan thought that, all the faces on the monster’s 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 Shan’s 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 Shan’s 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 wasn’t 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 monster’s 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 Shan’s gaze became tense .
I can’t 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 monster’s 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 .
That’s not correct .
Perhaps not everyone in this world can turn into an ancient life form .
Otherwise, so many people wouldn’t 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”
