Chapter 1647 Life and Death

The cold rain kept hitting the ground.

The sound of the rain was getting louder, but the alley was plunged into a deep darkness.

The old man stood at the entrance of the alley with his hands behind his back.

for a moment.

The spell ended and the darkness dissipated.

But still nothing.

"...not here, where did he go?"

The old man muttered in confusion.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly shouted: "Find them all for me! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find that pure one for me!"

In an instant, countless black shadows flew out of him and scattered towards every corner of the entire city.

The old man stood there and waited quietly.

Not far from 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 didn't answer for a while.

strength……

In the turbulence of the void, power is divided into many types.

For example, the magic side, the technology side, the wild side, the practice side, the nihilistic side, the weird side, etc.

——Strange refers to incomprehensible power.

Even "incomprehensible" can be summarized as one side, which shows how chaotic the situation in the entire void is.

Professionals can only rely on the opponent's strength type to make basic countermeasures when fighting.

In many cases, everyone has to fight with real swords and guns to know who is strong and who is weak.

——Unless the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

Judging from the battle just now, the old man didn't show his true skills.

Because he knows he's a sure winner.

Gu Qingshan paused in his heart.

——Why is this happening?

What kind of power is it that can make the opponent not care about his sword skills, and directly think that he cannot defeat him?

"Lola."

"Ok."

"Hold the umbrella, I'll try him again."

"Oh well."

Laura stood up from Gu Qingshan's shoulder and raised the umbrella in her hand high.

Gu Qingshan sighed long, stretched out his hand and grabbed the ground sword from the void.

He walked towards the old man in black step by step, constantly adjusting his state.

Walk out ten meters.

Gu Qingshan has restrained all killing intent completely.

Twenty meters.

The source power of Huangquan that lingered around him was also completely absorbed into his dantian.

Thirty meters.

He suddenly grew a few inches taller, and his eyes flashed with agility from time to time.

——This is a natural reaction produced by adjusting the strength of the whole body to the peak state, and the source power in the body is agitated to the maximum.

Gu Qingshan brushed past the old man and stood still behind the old man.

At this moment, he looked like an ordinary person, but also like an unreasonable monster.

This alternately appearing illusion is almost the first time that Gu Qingshan has appeared.

"I feel heart palpitations, Gu Qingshan, what are you doing?" Laura said dissatisfied.

"Persevere, I will strike with all my strength." Gu Qingshan smiled.

He raised the ground sword and compared it to the old man's neck.

The old man didn't notice 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 Qing Shan closed his eyes.

skill.

experience.

wisdom.

— And, power.

Gu Qingshan took a deep breath, his eyes sharpened.

boom!

A soaring yellow light shot out from the ground sword, shaking the entire void.

This is a blow that brings together all the strength of Gu Qingshan!

If it wasn't for Laura's cover, such a blow would have caused countless visions to appear in the void, shaking the entire city!

"die!"

Gu Qingshan shouted violently.

The void spread out along the way, and the long sword slashed at the old man's head with unrivaled force.

A dull voice sounded.

The long sword rested on the old man's neck, cutting a shallow bloody gash, but could not penetrate any further.

Time stops at this moment.

Gu Qingshan looked at the other party in surprise.

Laura couldn't help covering her mouth with her hands.

——Such a sword did not cut off the opponent's head.

The old man turned his head and looked at the void behind him, with a terrifying and strange smile on his face.

"It turned out to be hidden here, and now I've caught you."

Between lightning and flint, black shadows turned into iron chains and entangled Gu Qingshan, trapping him in place.

Gu Qingshan disappeared immediately, but the old man appeared in his original position, entangled by iron chains.

Apparate!

Gu Qingshan got out, grabbed the Heavenly Sword in the void with his backhand, and swung it behind him.

——Sword of Heaven, Heaven's Choice!

I saw one after another sword glow bursting out from the Heavenly Sword, and each sword glow immediately split into nine, and in an instant, a thousand or two hundred sword glows were formed.

The sound of impenetrable cutting overlapped like waves, and in one breath, all the thousand or two hundred swords had been cut.

The old man was safe and sound, and the iron chain on his body flew towards Gu Qingshan.

He said in a mocking tone: "It's useless, don't even think about running this time—"

His voice was interrupted.

An illusory sword shadow appeared out of nowhere, pierced his forehead, and protruded from the back of his head.

The old man's contemptuous expression froze.

——Extremely ancient swordsmanship, without reason.

In a short breath, Gu Qingshan slashed out a thousand or two hundred swords with the Heavenly Sword, activating this magic skill of law of cause and effect!

However, after cutting out this sword, Gu Qingshan was dripping with sweat, 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 hurriedly flew up and quietly disappeared behind him.

"Gu Qingshan!" Laura screamed.

"Walk--"

Gu Qingshan gave a low drink.

A cloud of white mist fell quickly, pounced on him and Laura, and was about to disappear with them.

However, countless black wall curtains appeared in the void, surrounding the white mist.

The white mist could not leave.

A woman in ancient costume suddenly appeared behind Gu Qingshan, holding a long sword and said: "Young master, don't worry!"

She swung her long sword and slashed at the walls with all her strength.

The wall curtain seems unstable, appearing and disappearing from time to time, exuding undulating power fluctuations.

——As soon as the old man used this technique of trapping the enemy, he was immobilized by the Sword of No Cause, so the technique has not been completely completed.

"Broken!" The mountain girl snorted lightly.

All the wall curtains fell apart.

Bai Wu finally regained her freedom and disappeared with the three of them.

Then look at the old man——

The old man raised his hand with difficulty, grasped the illusory sword on his forehead, and pulled it out forcefully.

puff!

A ball of foul-smelling black blood spattered out.

The black blood fell on the ground paved with stones, making a hissing sound and emitting white smoke.

The old man showed a painful expression, and whispered softly:

"Careless..."

He looked down, only to see that the Void Sword in his hand had completely disappeared.

the other side.

Gu Qingshan and Laura fled back to the main road and sat down by a street lamp.

Shannu carefully guarded her with a sword.

At this time, the rain was gradually increasing, and the whole city was shrouded in a dark curtain of water.

The road was empty.

The knights who watched the night were gone.

"Gu Qingshan, how are you?" Laura asked in a crying voice.

Gu Qingshan sat paralyzed by the street lamp, his hands were shaking constantly, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Just now, the first sword erupted with all his strength, and the second sword was a last resort, forcing out the sword of no reason, which gave the two of them a chance to escape.

"It's okay, I overworked for a while, just take a rest."

Gu Qingshan forced a smile.

Laura grabbed a small satchel from the void, carried it on her chest, and reached out to find a golden bottle from it.

"Drink it!" Laura said anxiously.

Gu Qingshan didn't ask, took the bottle and drank the contents in one gulp.

Suddenly, the sweat stopped, and the trembling hands stopped shaking.

Gu Qingshan only felt that the state of the whole person had once again returned to its peak.

"My lord?" Shan Nu asked with concern.

"It's okay." Gu Qingshan said.

Shannu nodded, turned into a long sword again, and disappeared into the void.

Laura also heaved a sigh of relief, held the umbrella in one hand, and held Gu Qingshan's big hand in the other, and said softly: "Fortunately, I didn't get hurt."

"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 heal the damage he caused." Laura said worriedly.

"It's really amazing, I've never seen such a guy." Gu Qingshan said with emotion.

——It was almost impossible to escape just now, almost life and death.

Gu Qingshan shook his head and looked into the void.

Lines of small fireflies have already stayed there:

"Your 'Sword of No Cause' hit the opponent."

"Due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the 'Sword of No Cause' cannot kill the enemy."

"This sword will draw all your strength, inflicting a brief paralysis on the enemy."

"Your soul power has returned to zero."

"Your power and the source power of Huangquan have been reset to zero."

"You drank the 'Fairy Royal Family's Secret Holy Spring'."

"Your condition has recovered again."

Gu Qingshan thought for a while, then stood up.

He put Laura back on his shoulders and said, "Come on, let's go to the monastery."

Laura breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Stop fighting that monster?"

"Yes, it's useless to be reckless, let's learn more about this city and find useful information." Gu Qingshan said.

Laura nodded and said: "The monastery should be safe. After all, there are those knights there, and there may be their high-level officials, which is just right for us to collect some information."

Gu Qingshan smiled inexplicably.

"Lola."

"Ok?"

"Don't relax, be ready to fight at any time, this time you have to take out all the treasures you can use."

Laura widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Gu Qingshan in surprise.

"You mean—"

"Yes, the monastery is actually a trap."

"Why!" Laura exclaimed.

"The Bridge of Lamentation was built five hundred meters away from the monastery, but it can always exist and has not been demolished. I don't think the monastery will not know about such an evil thing." Gu Qingshan said.

Laura froze.

Gu Qingshan continued: "The knights said that it is very unsafe at night, and they have to be ready to fight evil at any time - but I fought with that monster on the river, the whole bridge was destroyed, and the river also had an explosion. Flood water, such a movement and no one came to check the situation - it doesn't make sense at all."

"Also, it was late at night when we came out of the alley, and we walked all the way without incident. It was only after we met the Cavaliers and went to the monastery as they said, that we encountered this monster."

"The 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 certain."

"—There is no power on our side in this city."

"So the monastery is not safe, it may be a trap."

"Lola, do you understand now?"

Laura thought about it back and forth, and a layer of cold sweat subconsciously broke out on her back.

"Then why are we going to the monastery?" she asked.

Gu Qingshan took out something from his bosom.

Knight nameplate.

This nameplate emits a holy light in the night.

"—I don't know if you've noticed, those knights are wearing nameplates, but every nameplate is pitch-black, and it only starts to shine when it comes to my hands." Gu Qingshan said.

"We're going to find such a relic?" Laura asked.

Gu Qingshan said: "Yes, maybe the times have changed, but since even the nameplate of the knight can still resonate with my name, then there must be holy things from the past era still exist in the monastery."

"Even if it has been dusty for a long time, I should be able to wake them up."

"I guess--"

"That's what my name means."
