World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 528 - Levelling a city

Chapter 528: Levelling a city

Laura patted Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder, saying: “Do your best. I cannot do anything”

Following her voice, the monsters noticed the two of them.

They quickly encircled them.

At the same time, the large piles of corpses also started to move.

It took quite a bit of time to spread such a large amount of corpses.

This couldn’t be helped, as [Kindling] intended to push this many monsters out to kill as many people as possible.

Those who entered this place did not expect the call of the Bramble Birds to be a cruel battle of life and death.

And those lucky enough to survive didn’t think too much of it.

Because according to the rules, those who died should’ve been returned to Aboul.

Roar!!!

The humanoid monsters that crawled out from the ground were attacking them from all angles.

Attached at every part of their joints were long sharp blades that were covered in blood and bits of flesh.

While still several meters away, the monsters leapt towards Gu Qing Shan and Laura from below.

Gu Qing Shan stood still as he swung the Earth sword to form a blooming flower of sword qi.

Countless sword phantoms flew from the sword, slas.h.i.+ng at the monsters in the sky.

Their blood was spilled and scattered.

“Not good, there are too many”

Laura looked around as she anxiously called out.

Indeed, more and more monsters were crawling out from below.

The piles of corpses were also slowly starting to spread out.

The dead bodies staggered as they mixed in with the horde of monsters and rushed towards Gu Qing Shan and Laura.

The city originally covered in white snow was slowly being occupied by a torrent of black monsters.

“There’s quite a few of them, no wonder this test is called Surrounded” Gu Qing Shan mused.

He silently thought to himself, since this is a test of strength, flying away to escape would definitely not be allowed.

“Quickly think of something! It will be over if we are surrounded” Laura called out.

Gu Qing Shan let go of the Earth sword.

“Kill”

He only said that.

The Earth sword flew out, drawing a beautiful arc around Gu Qing Shan’s body.

The cold blue phantom formed a crescent moon, quickly expanded to bisect every monster on its way.

Secret Art, [Crescent Slash]

As Gu Qing Shan was now a Sainted realm sword cultivator, this Secret Art became even more powerful in his hand.

“How beautiful, is this a flying sword technique?” Laura excitedly clapped her hands.

Gu Qing Shan was silent.

From how she looked, you’d think she was admiring fireworks.

Unexpectedly, the monsters who managed to escape being bisected by the crescent moon all laid flat to the ground and started to eat the severed arms, legs and bodies.

More monsters sprouted from below.

They were competing with each other for the corpse parts.

More and more of them showed up as they ran faster and faster.

In just a few breaths, the horde of monsters had already devoured all the corpse parts.

The sound of crunching bones and flesh resounded throughout the city.

Those monsters who managed to devour a corpse part grew bigger, stronger and even faster.

They shriek again, quickly approaching Gu Qing Shan and Laura.

From above, you could see torrents of black ma.s.ses approaching from all sides, surrounding Gu Qing Shan and Laura without leaving a single gap.

There was less and less s.p.a.ce for them to stand, and they would soon be swallowed up by the tsunami-like horde of monsters.

“Breakthrough, Gu Qing Shan, this battle is testing our ability to breakthrough an encirclement!” Laura anxiously reminded him.

Gu Qing Shan said nothing.

He simply formed a hand seal.

The spirit energy in his Dantian flowed without end.

Ever since becoming a Sainted realm late stage cultivator, Gu Qing Shan hadn’t used his full power even once.

Oong!

His three swords appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce.

The first sword was ancient and mournful;

The second sword had an unusual design, being a bit longer than normal;

The third sword was as beautiful as the flow of water in autumn.

“Go” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

The three swords disappeared.

They flew across the sky with unimaginable speed, leaving afterimages in the air.

These afterimages did not move or faded away as they stood.

The three swords sped up more and more until all that could be seen was a shadowy figure.

Then they disappeared without a trace.

The whole abandoned city was now filled with countless sword afterimages.

All of this happened so fast that the sword images were already in place when the monsters had only taken a few steps forward.

But strangely, while these sword images were everywhere, the monsters were unhurt even when they dashed through them.

“What is this?” Laura asked, surprised.

Gu Qing Shan exhaled and triggered the hand seal.

Taiyi Sword Array, activate.

A faint gust blew past.

Then more wind came from out of nowhere, building up bit by bit, slowly forming an intense wind storm.

Nothing could stop the sweeping storm.

All the monsters scattered like dust, the piles of corpses also disappeared as if they were silently erased, not knowing what happened before they died.

The howling storm swept through ground, picking everything in the city up to the sky before blowing the thick black clouds above away.

The snow stopped.

A clear blue sky showed itself above the city.

The sun was s.h.i.+ning as warm sunlight peered below, shrouding the ground below in warmth.

A miraculous scene was seen.

Warm sunlight filled the interior of the city.

A cold chilling snow storm howled outside the city.

This miraculous sight lasted for several breaths before gradually disappearing.

In the end, the city buildings and walls were being blown away by the storm of wind as well.

The city itself crumbled like dust as it was swept away, leaving nothing but a vast empty field of snow.

The storm of wind stopped.

The black clouds gathered again.

The heaven and earth returned to stifled silence and peace.

Snowflakes began to gather and fell to the ground as snow.

It was now that Gu Qing Shan undid his hand seal.

Laura stood up from Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder, glancing around.

——everything in her sight beside the acc.u.mulated snow and the ground itself disappeared together with the fierce storm of wind and sword.

Just a vast empty field with snow lightly falling down.

The city and monsters were all gone.

“A clean shade of white” Laura sighed: “I did not expect you to work his hard”

She was silently surprised, thinking that this ‘Gu Qing Shan’ person was quite impressive.

One strike levelled an entire city.

Sword skills of this level could easily get him into the list of top young Combatants of the 900 million World Layers.

No wonder Iron Fist Barry wanted to take him in.

“We don’t have much time, I only wanted to finish the battle as fast as possible” Gu Qing Shan scowled and said.

His mind moved a bit.

The three flying swords returned, hovering in the air behind him without moving.

Gu Qing Shan spoke in annoyance: “That should be considered pa.s.sing right? Why is nothing coming out to give me a grade yet?”

Laura silently judged him and noticed something.

“You are worried about her?” Laura asked.

“I don’t know what situation she’s in right now, or whether we’ll be able to catch up to her at this pace” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

Laura understood.

So he really only wanted to save time.

Just what kind of girl is worth him treating this way?

Laura was a bit curious.

She stared at Gu Qing Shan a bit before abruptly asking: “Did you sleep together already?”

Gu Qing Shan found that a bit unexpected, but still answered: “Not yet”

“That pure? How did you do it?”

“What does a little girl like you know”

Gu Qing Shan turned his face away, silently thinking about Su Xue Er’s kiss.

At the time, I could only pretend to sleep so I couldn’t even touch her if I wanted to.

Thinking that, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Behind him, the Earth sword said something to the other two swords as all three of them started to vibrate and rattle.
