Proofreader:? Arya

From his appearance, this unknown cultivator must be a sword cultivator

Behind him, when the others saw his hand on his sword, they already understood.

But the unknown cultivator still gently smiled and said: “We are —–“

The situation suddenly changed.

A blinding golden light instantly appeared right in the middle of their group.

In a single moment, intense sword qi exploded without any warning.

Endless black sword shadows bloomed like a wild lotus, slashing back and forth, carving them to pieces.

Each black sword shadow contains the force of 86,370,000 tons thanks to the Earth Sword.

Together with Gu Qing Shan’s Divine Skill [Ground Shrink], the unknown cultivators didn’t have enough time to react.

No matter how cultivated they are, standing 5 steps within range of a sword cultivator’s sudden attack, coupled with the full weight of the Earth Sword, there’s no way they would survive.

In less than a single breath, Gu Qing Shan had already killed 7 people.

“Bastard! Attack!” the unknown cultivator in charge shouted.

“Kill them!” Ning Yue Xi only spaced out for a split second before drawing her blade with a shout.

The cultivators on both sides were experts on the battlefield, as soon as they heard their orders, they didn’t even hesitate to attack the other party.

The unknown cultivator in charge drew his sword and faced Gu Qing Shan.

His strikes were fast and his attacks were unfamiliar to him.

Suddenly, his sword bent almost like a snake, dodged through Gu Qing Shan’s attack and went into an opening in the same motion.

A Secret Art triggered.

Over a hundred thousand sword phantoms turned into an intense tsunami, concentrated fully on Gu Qing Shan’s body.

Clink clink clink clank clink clink!

In a single moment, Gu Qing Shan was hit by the numerous swords, his golden armor was vibrating from the shock of the tsunami of swords.

Gu Qing Shan could only protect his vitals before being knocked backwards several dozen feet.

The golden light flew backwards.

It wasn’t until he crashed into the back walls of the temple hall, coughing up blood did he fell down to the ground.

What a powerful strike.

If Gu Qing Shan didn’t have the General armor set, he would’ve already died.

Looking down, he could see the golden armor was already dented all over.

Crashing down, Gu Qing Shan had to use his sword to prop himself to stand up.

“This Secret Art… truly is powerful…” he was breathing heavily.

On the other side, the unknown cultivator was standing still, this sword still thrusted forward, but he didn’t pursue.

“Your attack, is it [Swallow Return]?” the unknown cultivator suddenly asked.

“Correct” Gu Qing Shan answered.

The unknown cultivator sighed and dejectedly said: “So this is [Swallow Return], I’ve searched for so many worlds without finding it, who knew I would meet it in such a fashion”

Bam!

A thick mist of blood exploded from behind him, the unknown cultivator fell straight down on the ground, no longer breathing.

He’s dead.

Secret Art [Swallow Return], at the time that the sword cultivator attacks, another sword will appear to attack at the same place from behind the enemy.

Two notifications popped up on the War God UI.

[You’ve killed a Rejuvenation realm late stage sword cultivator]

[Determined instant kill, spirit energy returned]

[Soul Points +100]

Gu Qing Shan stood straight up, didn’t even spend the time to eat a healing pill and once again rushed into the battles.

In such an enclosed place, a sword cultivator’s attack is the most frightening thing.

And after the unknown cultivator died, Gu Qing Shan was the only sword cultivator left in the temple hall.

He has to join into the battles as soon as possible.

Quickly moving, Gu Qing Shan appeared next to an unknown spell cultivator, currently making hand seals.

A sword flashed, then Gu Qing Shan disappeared.

The unknown spell cultivator screamed.

The hand he was using to make the seal was chopped off, fallen to the ground.

An Elemental spell quickly followed and took his life.

At this time, Gu Qing Shan had arrived at the other side of the battle.

He turned into a white crescent slash, cutting through an unknown Martial cultivator at the belt.

As an Ascended Realm Blade user, Ning Yue Xi was similarly suitable for battle in such an enclosed space.

Wearing the blood red Ding Yuan general armor set, she ignored all impacts as she crashed into and cut through her enemies, one or two slashes at a time.

The battle quickly ended with the total massacre of the other side.

This was a spontaneous battle, starting with Gu Qing Shan’s sudden attack.

Since he took the initiative, Ning Yue Xi and the rest of them didn’t have any casualties, only a few were wounded.

The battle ended just as suddenly as it started.

Everyone was breathing heavily from the shock, still very confused.

“Why did you suddenly attack? I think everyone here deserves an explanation” Ning Yue Xi looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked.

All the cultivators looked at him.

According to military laws, acting on your own without orders can result in execution if it’s serious enough.

“Do you know any of them?” Gu Qing Shan calmly asked.

“I don’t” Ning Yue Xi answered.

“Have you ever met people wearing such attire before?”

“No”

Gu Qing Shan continued: “Then let’s collect the spoils of war first, that way it’ll be more convincing as I tell you the reason”

Ning Yue Xi stared at him, then finally nodded: “…Do it”

The cultivators began to collect the weapons and other items from the dead corpses on the ground.

Finally, they found a small flag on the unknown sword cultivator’s body.

There was a large character for “Order” written on the flag.

Someone tried infusing it with spirit energy.

Immediately, a solemn voice came from the flag.

“Order: Direct disciple Zhang Hong Chi will lead the 5th squad and go into the Weapon Spirit world to search for treasures”

“Aside from your mission, do not attempt to investigate the identity of the people from the other world”

“This is a decision of the sect, do not question it”

“If you meet people from the other world, you are free to kill or capture as ordered. Beautiful captured women are treated as the maids of the disciples; those strong enough can also be captured to be used as slaves in the mines, others must be killed”

The group of cultivators could only open their mouths wide.

“They are cultivators from another world!” one Ascended realm cultivator gasped in shock.

“Even a half-Ascended realm cultivator is only considered a direct disciple” another muttered.

In the cultivation world, an Ascended realm could already become the head of a sect, or form their own sect.

But on the other side, that’s just a direct disciple.

Then, what about their elders and sect master-level cultivators, what realm would they be?

Everyone thought about it for a bit, then couldn’t help but feel a chill coming up.

The meeting this time was completely unprepared for.

Who could guess that they would meet people of another world in this ruins?

And the Order flag’s orders revealed a terrifying piece of information.

Those people would definitely have attack them!

It’s possible that they would’ve tried to lull them into a false sense of security before suddenly attacking.

And an even more terrifying piece of information.

——–their world has already found out about and plans to do something to the cultivation world.

Everyone regained their senses and quickly thanked Gu Qing Shan.

Ning Yue Xi also sighed from relief.

Since the other side carry bad intentions from the start, Gu Qing Shan’s suddenly attacking them couldn’t be considered to be arbitrarily acting on his own.

It would be called taking the initiative instead, for the sake of reducing casualties for their own group.

Ning Yue Xi frowned and asked: “Qing Shan, did you know about this before?”

“No, I didn’t”

Listening to the orders in the Order flag, Gu Qing Shan was smiling with extremely bitter sentiments.

“Then why did you attack as soon as you see them?” Leng Tian Xing asked.

“Ever since coming to Shen Wu world, I’ve seen quite a few trails left behind, so I deducted a few things”

“Seeing the situation today, it further reassured me that my deduction was correct”

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes contained both nostalgia and confusion.

His eyes look like they were looking past the layers of space, trying to see outside of Shen Wu world.

All the mysterious and eerie happenings in the previous life.

And in this life, being able to randomly meet the bronze pillar and corpse.

The three figures that appeared out of nowhere from the recorded images.

Shen Wu world having no other living beings asides from the countless weapon spirits.

And most importantly, Bai Hua Fairy’s omen of death.

Thinking that, the confusion in Gu Qing Shan’s eyes disappeared.

It was instead replaced instead by determination and killing intent.

“Tell us a bit about your deduction then” Leng Tian Xing patted his shoulder and said.

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

This must be said clearly and directly, to avoid anyone trying to test their luck.

He arranged his words for a bit, then said: “Between us and them, there could only ever be a single surviving side”

Everyone became silent.

Thinking of what happened before, quite a few people started to feel more and more uneasy.

“Why do you think so?” Ning Yue Xi’s face paled as she asked.

Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then decided to just explain his point of view in the way that cultivators could understand.

He couldn’t predict how the words he said today will one day become the most famous example of deduction in the history books to come.

“Let’s take our world for example”

Gu Qing Shan started to speak.

“A single world only has so much resources, so those who hold more resources are naturally the ones who becomes stronger and more powerful”

“Then what would happen if one day, two different worlds met?”

“Even lone cultivators will kill each other in the struggle for resources and treasures, then why wouldn’t two unfamiliar cultivation civilizations do the same?”

“Both sides would definitely want the other’s resources no matter what”

“Because of this, when two civilizations meet, it’s impossible to assume that the other side carries good will”

“When two civilizations meet, the biggest possibility is a fight to the death between themselves”

Gu Qing Shan finally started to explain his view.

“If we go one step further, if there are countless worlds and countless civilizations, then any worlds that reveal themselves will very quickly be destroyed”

“All the worlds that hides in the shadow will all wage war on the revealed world for the sake of resources”

“To steal, to take, to get the resources that they need”

“As well as to prevent the revealed world from continuing to grow and one day become a threat to themselves…”

“And all of this, is simply to make their own civilization become stronger, more powerful, to allow their world to survive the apocalypse born from the endless sea of demons”
