Cold rain pounded the ground.
The sound of rain became louder and louder, and the alley fell into deep darkness.
The old man stood at the entrance of the alley with his hands behind his hands.
A moment.
The spell ends and the darkness dissipates.
But still nothing.
"...If you're not here, where did you go?"
The old man muttered in confusion.
After a breath of silence, he suddenly shouted: "Find them all for me! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find the pure one for me!"
In an instant, countless black shadows flew out of him and dispersed towards every corner of the city.
The old man stood there and waited quietly.
Not far opposite him, Gu Qingshan and Laura were still standing there, but unfortunately he couldn't see them.
"Gu Qingshan, what should we do now?"
Laura asked.
Gu Qingshan fell into deep thought and did not reply for a while.
strength……
In the turbulence of the void, power is divided into many types.
For example, the magic side, the technological side, the wild side, the spiritual side, the void side, the weird side, and so on.
Weirdness refers to an incomprehensible power.
Even "incomprehensible" can be summarized as one side, which shows how chaotic the situation in the entire void turbulence is.
When fighting, professionals can only rely on the opponent's strength type to make basic countermeasures.
Many times, everyone has to fight for real to know who is strong and who is weak.
Unless the strength difference between the two sides is too great.
Judging from the battle just now, the old man did not show his true ability.
Because he knows he is sure to win.
Gu Qingshan was heartbroken.
Why is this happening?
What kind of power can make the opponent not care about his swordsmanship and directly think that he can't defeat him?
"Lola."
"Um."
"Hold the umbrella, I'll try him again."
"Oh well."
Laura stood up from Gu Qingshan's shoulders and raised the flower umbrella in her hand high.
Gu Qingshan let out a long sigh and reached out to grab the Earth Sword from the void.
He walked towards the old man in black step by step, constantly adjusting his state.
Walk ten meters.
Gu Qingshan has completely restrained all his murderous intentions.
Twenty meters.
The underworld energy surrounding him was completely absorbed into his Dantian.
Thirty meters.
His whole body suddenly grew several inches taller, and his eyes flashed with dynamic light from time to time.
This is a natural reaction when the whole body's strength is adjusted to its peak state and the source of energy in the body is stimulated to the maximum.
Gu Qingshan passed by the old man and stood behind him.
At this moment, he looked like an ordinary person and an unreasonable monster.
This alternating illusion appeared to Gu Qingshan for almost the first time.
"I feel heart palpitations, Gu Qingshan, what on earth are you going to do?" Laura said dissatisfied.
"Hold on, I'm going to strike with all my strength." Gu Qingshan smiled.
He raised his sword and gestured towards the old man's neck.
The old man was unaware of anything.
From time to time, black shadows flew from somewhere in the city and fell into the old man's body.
He is still searching for traces of Gu Qingshan and Laura.
Gu Qingshan closed his eyes.
skill.
experience.
wisdom.
Also, power.
Gu Qingshan took a deep breath and sharpened his eyes.
boom!
A dim yellow light shot out from the Earth Sword, causing the entire void to tremble.
This is a blow that brings together all the strength of Gu Qingshan!
If it weren't for Laura's cover, such a blow would have caused countless strange phenomena to appear in the void, shaking the entire city!
"die!"
Gu Qingshan shouted loudly.
All the void along the way dispersed, and the long sword slashed at the old man's head with unrivaled force.
A dull voice sounded.
The long sword stayed at the old man's neck, cutting a shallow bloody gash, but it could not make any further progress.
Time stops at this moment.
Gu Qingshan looked at each other in surprise.
Laura couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hands.
Such a sword did not cut off the opponent's head.
The old man turned around and looked into the void behind him, with a terrifying and weird smile on his face.
"I was hiding here, now I've caught you."
Between the lightning and flint, black shadows turned into iron ropes and wrapped around Gu Qingshan, trapping him in place.
Gu Qingshan disappeared immediately, but the old man appeared in his original position, entangled by iron ropes.
Apparition!
Gu Qingshan escaped, grabbed the Heavenly Sword from the void with his backhand, and swung it out behind him.
Heavenly Sword, Natural Selection!
I saw streaks of sword light bursting out from the Heavenly Sword. As soon as each sword light appeared, it immediately divided into nine branches, and in an instant there were twelve hundred swords.
The airtight cutting sounds overlapped like waves, and in one breath, all 1,200 swords were chopped off.
The old man was safe and sound, and the iron rope on his body flew towards Gu Qingshan.
He said in a mocking tone: "It's useless, don't even think about running away this time."
His voice was interrupted.
An illusory sword shadow appeared out of thin air, pierced his forehead, and extended from the back of his head.
The old man's contemptuous expression was frozen.
The ancient swordsmanship has no cause.
In just one breath, Gu Qingshan slashed out one thousand two hundred swords with the Heavenly Sword, activating this magical skill of the law of cause and effect!
However, after using this sword, Gu Qingshan was sweating profusely and fell to his knees.
He could no longer hold the Heavenly Sword and let it fall aside.
Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Tianjian flew up in a hurry and quietly disappeared behind him.
"Gu Qingshan!" Laura screamed.
"Walk"
Gu Qingshan shouted lowly.
A cloud of white mist fell quickly, pounced on him and Laura, and was about to disappear with the two of them.
However, countless black walls appeared in the void, surrounding the white mist.
The white mist cannot leave.
A woman in ancient costume suddenly appeared behind Gu Qingshan, holding a long sword and saying: "Don't worry, Master!"
She swung her sword and slashed at the walls with all her strength.
The wall curtain seemed unstable, appearing and disappearing, emitting undulating power fluctuations.
As soon as the old man used this technique to trap the enemy, he was immobilized by the Sword of No Beginning, so the technique was not completely completed yet.
"Broken!" Shan Nu scolded.
All the walls fell apart.
Bai Wu finally regained his freedom and disappeared with the three of them.
Now look at the old man
The old man raised his hand with difficulty, grasped the illusory sword on his forehead, and pulled it out with all his strength.
puff!
A ball of foul-smelling black blood spattered out.
Black blood fell on the stone paved ground, making a sizzling sound and white smoke rising.
The old man showed a painful expression and whispered softly:
"I was careless..."
He looked down and saw that the Void Sword in his hand had completely disappeared.
the other side.
Gu Qingshan and Laura fled back to the road and sat down by a street lamp.
The mountain girl carefully guarded him with a sword.
At this time, the rain gradually increased, and the entire city was shrouded in a gloomy curtain of water.
The road was deserted.
The night watch knights were also gone.
"Gu Qingshan, how are you?" Laura asked with a cry.
Gu Qingshan sat slumped next to the street lamp, his hands trembling constantly, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Just now, the first sword exploded with all his strength, and the second sword was a forced sword, forcing out the Sword of No Cause, which gave the two of them a chance to escape.
"It's okay. I overexerted myself for a moment. Just take a rest and you'll be fine."
Gu Qingshan forced a smile.
Laura grabbed a small satchel from the void, slung it over her chest, reached out and pulled out a golden bottle.
"Drink it!" Laura said anxiously.
Gu Qingshan took the bottle without asking and drank the contents in one gulp.
Suddenly, the sweating stopped and the trembling hands stopped shaking.
Gu Qingshan only felt that his overall condition had returned to its peak again.
"Master?" Shannu asked with concern.
"It's okay." Gu Qingshan said.
The mountain girl nodded, turned into a sword again, and disappeared into the void.
Laura also breathed a sigh of relief, holding a flower umbrella in one hand and holding Gu Qingshan's big hand in the other, and said softly: "Fortunately, it's not injured."
"What happened to the injury?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"That old man has power that I have never seen before. Although I have countless precious medicines, I am not sure that I can cure the damage he caused." Laura said worriedly.
"It's really amazing. I have never seen such a guy before." Gu Qingshan said with emotion.
Just now, we almost couldn't escape, almost on the line between life and death.
Gu Qingshan shook his head and looked into the void.
The lines of small firefly characters have already stayed there:
"Your 'Causeless Sword' hit the opponent."
"Because the strength gap between the two sides is too great, the 'Sword of Causelessness' cannot kill the enemy."
"This sword will drain all your power and cause temporary paralysis to the enemy."
"Your soul power has returned to zero."
"Your strength and the source of the underworld have returned to zero."
"You drank from the 'Secret Holy Spring of the Fairy Royal Family'."
"You're in good shape again."
Gu Qingshan thought for a while and stood up.
He put Laura back on his shoulders and said, "Let's go to the monastery."
Laura breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Aren't you going to fight that monster?"
"Yes, there's no point in being reckless. We need to know more about this city and find useful information." Gu Qingshan said.
Laura nodded and said: "The monastery should be safe. After all, those knights are there, and there may also be their senior officials, which is just suitable for us to collect some intelligence."
Gu Qingshan smiled inexplicably.
"Lola."
"Um?"
"Don't relax, be prepared to fight at any time. This time you have to take out all the treasures you can use."
Laura's beautiful eyes widened and she looked at Gu Qingshan in surprise.
"You mean"
"Yes, the monastery is actually a trap."
"Why!" Laura shouted.
"The Bridge of Resentment was built five hundred meters away from the monastery, but it can always exist without being demolished. I don't think the monastery would not know about such an evil thing." Gu Qingshan said.
Laura was stunned.
Gu Qingshan continued: "The knights said that it was very unsafe at night and had to be ready to fight against evil at any time. But I fought with the monster on the river. The whole bridge was destroyed and the river also flooded. , it makes no sense that there was such a movement but no one came to check the situation.”
"Also, it was late at night when we came out of the alley, and the whole walk was uneventful. It was only after meeting the knights and going to the monastery as they said, that we met this monster."
"This monster is waiting on the bridge."
"It's waiting for us."
"Maybe I guessed wrong, maybe the monster didn't control the monastery, maybe it was just a misunderstanding, but one thing is for sure."
"There are very few forces on our side in this city."
"So the monastery is not safe and is probably a trap."
"Laura, do you understand now?"
Laura thought about it over and over again, and a layer of cold sweat broke out behind her back unconsciously.
"Then why do we go to the convent?" she asked.
Gu Qingshan took out something from his arms.
Knight nameplate.
This nameplate emits a holy light in the night.
"I don't know if you noticed it, but those knights all wear nameplates, but every nameplate is pitch black, and it only starts to glow when it's in my hand." Gu Qingshan said.
"Are we going to find such a holy object?" Laura asked.
Gu Qingshan said: "Yes, maybe times have changed, but since even the knight's nameplate can still resonate with my name, then there must be holy things from the past era still existing in the monastery."
"Even if they have been covered in dust for a long time, I should be able to wake them up."
"I guess"
"That's what my name means."
