Gu Qingshan took a step forward, and the old man took a step back.
The distance between the two never shortened.
"Slow down..." the old man said.
Gu Qingshan stopped and looked at him.
"Spare my life," the old man said.
"Eh? Aren't you going to eat me?" Gu Qingshan said in surprise.
"I was wrong in this matter. I really shouldn't have attacked the descendants of Jiwu. I would like to ask you, sir, to let me go." The old man said.
Gu Qingshan thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible - give me the embodiment of the core of the world system, and forget about today's matter."
The old man's face changed, and he said unwillingly: "If I give you that thing, it will be equivalent to giving you the entire world system."
"You can still live in this world, and your life is saved. This is a good deal." Gu Qingshan said.
A look of struggle appeared on the old man's face.
Gu Qingshan looked at him and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, you are willing to admit defeat. You obviously started the spiritual war, but now you are not willing to give anything. How can it be like this?"
The old man's eyes turned cold and he whispered: "You don't know how much effort I have put into this world!"
He moved his fingers slightly.
The soil at Gu Qingshan's feet suddenly spread apart, and countless luminous bodies emerged.
soul!
These are all the souls of dead beings. They overlap one another and struggle to grab Gu Qingshan's hands and feet.
"Stay! Suffer endless pain with us!"
The souls roared in unison.
The old man laughed loudly and said: "Naive guy! You want to avoid the enemy's life in the middle of the war. I really don't know how that adult would choose you to be his successor——"
He looked at Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan was still grabbed by countless soul bodies, but there was no nervousness on his face, and he even sighed.
"Asshole - now the offensive and defensive positions are changed, it's your turn to die!"
The old man shouted loudly, put his hands together, and chanted a spell quickly.
flutter!
An imperceptible soft sound interrupted his spellcasting.
The old man's lips moved and he slowly lowered his head to look at his chest.
I saw a long sword penetrated his body, a long section emerged, and blood dripped down the sword body.
Behind him, a slender and elegant orange cat floated in the air.
The orange cat transformed into a cold and beautiful woman, still holding the sword.
"Some people actually think that my young master is naive..."
The woman shook her head and said nothing.
Ever since Gu Qingshan was talking to the old man just now, she had turned into an orange cat and activated the "Night Phantom Shadow" to quietly hide behind the old man.
The old man's face changed several times, and he finally felt that death was approaching. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground and said:
"Spare your life, spare your life——"
However, Shan Nu showed no mercy.
The sword flashed.
The old man's limbs were cut off, and only his body flew out and landed at the foot of Gu Qingshan.
When the souls behind Gu Qingshan saw this, they immediately dispersed and hid underground, never daring to come out again.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" The old man howled miserably.
But he quickly shut up.
A cold sword lay across his neck.
Gu Qingshan squatted down and sighed: "Look, why is this necessary? How good you promised me just now."
The old man looked at him with hatred.
"How dare you look at the young master like this - Young Master, why are you nagging him? If you kill him with one sword, it will be over." Shan Nu said murderously.
Gu Qingshan did not respond, his expression was a bit complicated.
The old man in front of me.
It is the spirit that controls the power of the world.
However, he voluntarily gave up all his spiritual skills.
Just to have a fair fight with myself!
What kind of spirit is this?
It would be nice if future enemies were so naive.
Gu Qingshan cherishes this moment.
In the void, lines of small firefly characters emerged:
"The spiritual war is over."
"You won the war."
"The whole world system will be yours, and your hostile spirits will be at your disposal."
A dark red pocket watch flew out of the old man's body and landed in front of Gu Qingshan.
——The embodied object that belongs to the core of the world!
Two lines of small firefly characters continued to appear in the void:
"You have discovered a sacred object at the core of the world."
"You can already use the key mold and fuse it into new parts of the universal thing."
Gu Qingshan immediately took out the casting mold for the passable thing.
As soon as the mold appeared, the dark red pocket watch immediately began to shake violently.
I saw the dark red pocket watch flying up, landing on the key mold, gradually melting into liquid, and slowly pouring into the groove of the mold.
The dark red liquid flows in the groove and merges with the small part of the key body.
- It solidified.
Three colors appear on the key, namely the bronze color at the key handle, the black color at the front of the key handle, and the dark red key body that has just been successfully cast.
They respectively correspond to three coins, the evil sacred object in the gray old city, and the dark red pocket watch in the clock tower world.
Perhaps because the clock tower world is more complete, this time, the length of the key has reached two-fifths of the mold, which is much longer than the first time it was cast.
Gu Qingshan put away the key mold with satisfaction.
If he can continue like this, he will probably be able to get the "Key to Passage" soon.
——This is the key to escape!
"What are your last words?" he asked the old man.
As soon as he said these words, the old man suddenly knew that he would never be able to survive again.
His face was gloomy and uncertain, and he suddenly burst out into crazy laughter:
"Hahahaha, I know you are just a temporary spirit - you, a mortal, could have controlled the power of the entire world, but now you have erased the manifestation of the world, then there is only a dead end!"
"You brat, the entire underground world of the clock tower is full of malicious spirits. They all signed up to participate in the qualification competition in the dusty world before they were alive - for countless years, every person who dies is in my hands!"
Gu Qingshan narrowed his eyes.
——It turns out that the evil spirit that caused the contenders to kill each other was the old man in front of him.
The old man's face was distorted and looked ferocious, and he continued to roar: "You have no embodiment of the world, and you are only a mortal. How can you deal with these billions of evil spirits?"
"I've released them completely."
"As soon as your spiritual state ends, hundreds of millions of evil spirits will come to kill you, a mortal. This is my final curse on you."
"——Be prepared to be devoured by all spirits and die!"
A layer of gray light appeared on Gu Qingshan.
curse!
The God of War interface immediately gave a prompt:
"You are cursed: The Evil One."
"This is the last full strength of a spirit, which casts this curse wholeheartedly."
"You must defeat the souls of all the dead, otherwise you will always be haunted by evil spirits."
Gu Qingshan sighed regretfully and gently pressed down the sword.
——The vicious voice stopped suddenly.
Lines of small firefly characters appeared on the God of War interface:
"Gain world power: 150."
Gu Qingshan stood up and moved his neck, preparing to face the billions of malicious spirits.
Suddenly a nervous voice came from the sky:
"What did the old man say just now?"
This is Laura's voice!
Gu Qingshan turned around and saw Laura and a cute girl in a miniskirt falling from the sky.
The girl has long colored hair.
——She was the one who gave the invitation letters to the two of them in the first place.
I remember that the cows in the song and dance troupe called her "Little Miss Colorful Burial".
"Huh? Why did you come in?"
Gu Qingshan looked at the two of them in surprise.
Laura explained: "I was still worried, so I asked Li to go to Gensokyo for me and ask who could bring me to you. As a result, Sister Caiyan said she could, so I signed a contract with her. The covenant of thorns."
The cute girl next to her smiled and said, "I can indeed enter and exit other people's phase realms at will, and I am honored to be the contracted spirit of the Blood of Thorns."
Only then did Gu Qingshan understand and said with a smile: "Thank you very much."
——Signing a pact of thorns with Laura is probably what all spirits dream of.
Laura knew how to let Li go find out the information for her, but she hid it herself, which made her a lot more mature.
Just as he was thinking about it, Laura ran up and tugged on his sleeve, and said nervously: "The old man seemed to be cursing you just now. What happened?"
Gu Qingshan smiled and said: "It's nothing, he is just an innocent and cute old guy. Let's have a cooking competition-"
While Laura and Cai Zhan were listening, they suddenly saw countless spirits appearing from all directions.
There were dense, shrill howls throughout the land.
The souls buried here jumped out of the ground and kept flying in the sky.
In just a few breaths, the entire world was surrounded by these malicious spirits.
"Death, death, death!"
"Don't even think about running away!"
"Your soul will stay here and suffer with us forever!"
"Eat you! Eat you!"
They screamed and rushed towards Gu Qingshan.
Cai Zhan looked at those malicious spirits, then at Gu Qingshan, and asked: "——You call this cooking?"
Gu Qingshan said nothing, just stared into the void.
Lines of small firefly characters appeared on the God of War interface:
"The war in the spiritual world is completely over."
"You have become the master of the clock tower world."
"All your imprisoned powers have returned."
Gu Qingshan glanced at it, raised his hand and made a fist.
"Sacrifice."
He uttered one word.
An invisible wave suddenly spread out from him and swept the entire world.
In an instant, the endless spiteful spirits all froze in place, daring not to move.
Gu Qingshan then looked at Laura and Cai Zhan and finished what he just said:
"Yes, the old man cooked several dishes with me, and I won in the end."
"He was convinced in the end, blessed me and said -"
"Happiness is knocking on the door soon."
Gu Qingshan pulled out a pitch-black Ghost King Staff, stood it beside him, and tapped the ground lightly.
