Chapter 1136: Thank you for the dinner
[Evil Suppressor – Orange Lance]
[Mahesvara Thaumaturgy, evolution possible]
[This Thaumaturgy must be affixed to a long-handle weapon]
[This Thaumaturgy will help you suppress all evil, forcefully converting them into pure Origin power to provide for the Divine Mountain of Sumeru]
[The more evil you suppress, the more feedback you will receive from the Divine Mountain of Sumeru]
[Specifically, the Divine Mountain of Sumeru will help you evolve your Mahesvara Thaumaturgy bit by bit according to your contributions, gradually becoming stronger]
Gu Qing Shan knitted his eyebrows.
This Thaumaturgy was basically created to save Mount Sumeru, no wonder it was provided ahead of time.
Not only that, but Mount Sumeru would also reward those who eagerly suppress evil.
Seems like the Divine Mountain is indeed in a very critical state.
But I’m a sword cultivator, where do I find a long-handle weapon?
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit.
...I actually have one.
The [True Crimson Demon Spear] was a long-handled weapon!
Those thoughts speed through Gu Qing Shan’s mind.
The thin tiger that exuded evil fire lowered its body and abruptly vanished.
This wasn’t related to speed, as it simply vanished in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes dilated and also vanished.
In a split second, he reappeared several dozen meters away from where he stood.
While that thin tiger reappeared where he originally stood.
Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]!
Both he and the tiger knew this Divine Skill!
The thin tiger was surprised for a bit, then spoke in human language: 「 So there is a human that wields the same Divine Skill as this general, this cannot be 」
It started emanating more killing intent.
A black armor abruptly appeared, scattered into numerous components before attaching to the thin tiger’s body.
——-it had a suit of armor!
Gu Qing Shan became highly cautious as he observed this tiger.
——this tiger was at the same realm as he was.
By common sense, when man and beast were at the same level of strength, beasts would turn out to be more powerful compared to humans.
But humans were capable of leveling the playing field in their battle against beasts.
This was because humans could create equipment and other high-power tools to help them fight.
But now, not only do beasts know how to make armor...
They seem to be even better than humans at it.
Observing the intricate, heavy suit of armor that it was wearing, Gu Qing Shan assumed this.
Not only that, it knows a human Divine Skill as well.
What a strange situation.
Gu Qing Shan focused his mind, pointed his sword at the tiger, and shouted: “What kind of demonic beast are you? State your name, as I don’t kill nameless individuals”
——–[Azure Dragon Shadow Hex – Binding]!
The thin tiger scoffed: 「 You think someone like you deserves to know my name? 」
“Deserving or not depends on strength. Frankly speaking, you might be stronger than me, must have killed more people than me, and have more knowledge than I do; but since I know a secret of yours, I’m not afraid” Gu Qing Shan casually replied.
The thin tiger was startled.
「 You know my secret? What do you know? 」it couldn’t help but question.
Gu Qing Shan chuckled then replied: “Even if you kill me, I won’t tell you, unless...”
「 Unless what? 」the thin tiger asked.
“Unless you tell me clearly, why are you so insistent on chasing me?” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The thin tiger paused briefly before laughing: 「 Insistent on chasing you? You think too highly of yourself 」
“If you aren’t going after me specifically, then why are you standing in my way?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The thin tiger replied: 「 I’m just on my way to ambush the human military camp, but felt the impulse to kill a couple of humans to fill my stomach 」
Gu Qing Shan: “Ah, so that’s what it was”
The thin tiger looked at him.
He kept his mouth shut.
The thin tiger said: 「 Your turn 」
Gu Qing Shan asked: “My turn what?”
The thin tiger: 「 To tell me your secret 」
Gu Qing Shan appeared surprised, then replied: “Ah, about that—– I’m not going to tell you”
The thin tiger froze, then abruptly erupted with killing intent.
Roar!!!
It let out a thunderous resounding roar.
A gust of wind suddenly blew in from the forest.
Sword-infused wind——–
It was the Taiyi Sword Array!
As the sword-infused wind clashed against the roar, it was immediately scattered.
But at the same time, the thin tiger’s roar was scattered by Gu Qing Shan.
「 A sword array? What feeble strength, I’ve thought it through, rather than asking you, I’d rather chop your limbs and force you to tell me in your suffering 」the tiger muttered.
It shook its body and split into three other identical tigers.
Four thin tigers surrounded Gu Qing Shan and spoke in unison: 「 In consideration that cultivation isn’t easy, I shall give you a chance, tell me what you know right now 」
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a short moment.
[Azure Dragon Shadow Hex – Binding] had restrained 5% of the tiger’s speed.
For a sword cultivator of Gu Qing Shan’s caliber, this much was enough.
He was thinking about something else.
——-the Taiyi sword array is powerful and can kill a large number of enemies.
But the Taiyi sword array’s power comes from scattering the power of sword phantoms into the wind.
Against an especially powerful enemy, such scattered power isn’t effective.
Because of this, the only unstoppable strike would be one that converges all scattered power into a single explosive attack.
Swordsmanship might take numerous forms and shapes, but in the end, it would still return to its roots, becoming one ultimate strike.
Convergence realm.
This is the true value of the Convergence realm!
Gu Qing Shan’s presence slowly faded away, eventually disappearing entirely.
While standing there, he felt like nothingness.
Killing intent exploded!
The four thin tigers vanished at once.
Gu Qing Shan also vanished.
A sword phantom that pierced the sky abruptly manifested in the darkness.
Secret Art, [Full Moon Consecutive Slashes]!
This sword phantom appeared as a seamless shining full moon that hung on top of the night sky, illuminating the wilderness.
In just a split second, it all disappeared, as if everything was only an illusion.
The darkness once again filled the land.
In the forest.
The four thin tigers once again became one, all four of its claws were cut off, its body pinned to the ground by three swords.
Gu Qing Shan stared down at the thin tiger.
“You... what exactly are you? A demonic beast?” Gu Qing Shan questioned.
「 Ridiculous, I’m the Beast King! 」
The thin tiger scoffed and continued: 「 Sword cultivator, I will not accept this! If my movement technique hadn’t suddenly gone wrong, victory and defeat would have been different! 」
“Movement technique?” Gu Qing Shan shook his head, “It wasn’t your movement technique, you simply became slow”
The thin tiger was startled, then slowly realized.
「 You sly scoundrel, I dare you to win against me in a straight-forward battle! 」the thin tiger gritted its teeth.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression remained blank as he casually replied:
“I simply didn’t want to spend too much effort to kill you. I’m going to test something out instead”
Saying so, he drew a Card and tossed it in the air.
A spear coated in a glimmering crimson glow appeared in his hand.
Gu Qing Shan shouted: “Mahesvara Thaumaturgy, I order you to grant this spear the Evil Suppressing power!”
Immediately, a unique sensation started to exude from the spear.
Gu Qing Shan turned to the thin tiger.
This prideful tiger suddenly appeared fearful as he looked at the [True Crimson Demon Spear].
「 No! Don’t let me return to the Divine Mountain of Sumeru! 」it begged.
Gu Qing Shan asked: “What are you afraid of?”
The thin tiger didn’t reply and instead madly struggled.
However, its body was pinned down tightly by the swords, so it couldn’t move even an inch.
Gu Qing Shan turned away, picked up Bai Zhuo’s head from the snow, and returned to the thin tiger.
“Bai Zhuo, and Chang Yu Li as well, thank you for inviting me to dinner”
The crimson glowing spear abruptly stabbed into the thin tiger’s head.
It was unstoppable!
The thin tiger let out a desperate roar.
All of a sudden, a fierce shadow appeared from the thin tiger’s body, attempting to escape.
But as it was pierced by the [True Crimson Demon Spear] it couldn’t escape no matter how it tried.
The [True Crimson Demon Spear] vibrated.
The shadow immediately shattered and disappeared into the void of space.
At the same time, the thin tiger stopped struggling and laid limp on the ground.
It was dead.
Gu Qing Shan carefully buried Bai Zhuo’s head below ground before clasping his hands together and praying.
“Rest in peace, young soldier” Gu Qing Shan whispered.
He cut off the thin tiger’s head, pierced it with the [True Crimson Demon Spear], and carried it on his shoulder as he flew towards the human military camp.
