Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1165: I don’t want it

Gu Qing Shan stabbed the Earth sword through Cang Wu Zhang’s chest while wielding the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in his other hand, using it to stop Commander Yu’s spear.

“Back off”

Gu Qing Shan turned his head and demanded for Yu to retreat.

Yu remained still and spoke with a solemn tone: “Huang Quan Devil King, if you continue any further, the entire Wraith realm will never forgive you, you will not survive until your reincarnation!”

Gu Qing Shan looked at her and lightly thrusted the Earth sword forward a bit more.

Sha——

The Earth sword pierced deeper through Cang Wu Zhang’s chest.

Cang Wu Zhang kept his mouth shut without letting out a single noise.

“Oh? How resilient”

Gu Qing Shan smiled, then twisted the Earth sword in his hand.

Blood started flowing.

Intense aching pain transmitted from Cang Wu Zhang’s chest all over his body.

Never before had Cang Wu Zhang experienced such pain.

He finally couldn’t hold himself back and loudly shouted: “Damn it, hurry up and back off Yu! Hurry up!!!”

Yu no longer had the courage to probe any further and retreated.

Don’t be ridiculous, this is the Wraith Lord’s son, if my arbitrary probing caused him to be killed by the enemy, I wouldn’t be able to ease the Wraith Lord’s wrath even with ten thousand deaths.

Gu Qing Shan glanced around.

The army of one million wraiths had him completely surrounded, each of them standing as close to him as possible.

Gu Qing Shan was fully convinced that if he let his guard down for a split second, he would die without a place to be buried.

“Say it, Huang Quan Devil King, what do you want?” Cang Wu Zhang clenched his teeth.

“What do I want?” Gu Qing Shan repeated the question.

“That’s right, if I have it, I’ll give it to you, as long as you spare my life” Cang Wu Zhang said.

As soon as he uttered the words ‘spare my life’, Cang Wu Zhang subconsciously glanced around.

In front of an army of a million wraiths, he had actually said such a thing out loud. Cang Wu Zhang was now so furious that he was willing to kill every single last person here if necessary.

Huang Quan Devil King!

Detestable Huang Quan Devil King!!!

When I return, I will forego my dignity and ask my father to kill this Huang Quan Devil King, then string his soul inside a lamp that I can carry with me every day.

I will make sure he faces eternal suffering and that everyone can hear his constant cries of pain!

While he was thinking that, the Huang Quan Devil King’s voice resounded again:

“Are you really willing to pay any price in exchange for your life?”

“Of course, just state your price” Cang Wu Zhang immediately answered.

Gu Qing Shan then said: “You’ve massacred those pixies, but I know you people of the Wraith realm had never released anyone, even in death you will imprison their souls”

“——-so, I want you to give me the souls of those pixies”

Cang Wu Zhang’s eyebrows relaxed and shouted to a Wraith General: “Take it out and give it to the Huang Quan Devil King”

“Understood! Huang Quan Devil King, please receive this”

The Wraith General took out a small stone box and tossed it towards Gu Qing Shan’s and Cang Wu Zhang’s direction.

“Catch it” Gu Qing Shan told Cang Wu Zhang.

Cang Wu Zhang was a bit surprised but did not try to catch the stone box.

Gu Qing Shan naturally also didn’t catch it.

He glanced at the expressions of everyone around when they saw Cang Wu Zhang avoiding the stone box.

The only person whose expression remained emotionless was the Wraith Might called Yu, while all the wraith soldiers who didn’t have masks appeared disappointed.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t say anything else, let go of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, and grabbed a skull scepter with a sharp horn.

“Cang Wu Zhang, hah, Cang Wu Zhang, it seems you still haven’t realized what kind of situation you’re in”

Gu Qing Shan lightly stated and abruptly shoved the Devil King Warden Rod into the other party’s chest.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

With the intense pain resounding through his body, Cang Wu Zhang trembled and uttered a sharp scream.

“AAAARGH! I MADE A MISTAKE! I KNOW I MADE A MISTAKE! DON’T—–”

Gu Qing Shan ignored him and controlled the scepter with his mind.

Right away, the skull on top of the scepter exuded a glowing red light.

—–it had been activated.

From this point onwards, Cang Wu Zhang’s soul had been completely suppressed by the scepter, which would disperse with just a single thought from the Huang Quan Devil King.

Cang Wu Zhang could also clearly sense this change.

He felt his entire soul trembling out of fear.

This scepter had connected to his soul, capable of destroying it at any moment!

“Huang Quan... Devil King...”

He was so fearful that he couldn’t even speak properly. For the very first time, he finally realized that his outcome might not simply be death.

Gu Qing Shan patted his shoulder and grinned: “Brother Wu Zhang, let us do this again, but keep in mind, this is the final choice you’re going to make in your life. If you choose wrongly, you’re not going to have a life”

“Fine! Fine! Have it your way. Men, give him the pixies’ souls!” Cang Wu Zhang gritted his teeth and ordered.

The Wraith General no longer dared to try anything fishy and tossed a cage tied with leaf twine towards them.

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword flew forward, lightly received the cage, and examined it. After confirming that it did not carry any techniques other than a spatial seal, she spoke up: “Gongzi, there are no issues”

Gu Qing Shan received the cage and scanned it with his inner sight to find that this cage was indeed just a spatial artifact that was crammed full of pixie souls.

The pixie souls seemed to have noticed his inner sight as well and released a mass of flame to manifest the long-bearded old man’s visage, who then gave Gu Qing Shan a blink.

Gu Qing Shan then felt assured.

The pixies managed to live on as souls in the secret passage to the Inner Plane for over a million years, so there should naturally be no issues right now.

Since he couldn’t save them in time, he would have to give them a proper explanation later as well.

——but with how the pixies were, they probably didn’t hold any grudge, after all, they still had the leisure to blink at him.

Gu Qing Shan silently thought as he turned his hand to put the cage away, then looked back at Cang Wu Zhang.

Various thoughts were moving through his mind.

“Can you let me go now? If you release me, I can swear in front of everyone here to ensure your safety” Cang Wu Zhang endured the intense pain and fear to make his voice as calm as possible when he spoke.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I have one question, what kind of item does the Wraith realm usually use to bring their personal belongings?”

“A bracelet” Cang Wu Zhang replied.

Gu Qing Shan glanced around.

Sure enough.

Every wraith was wearing a bracelet on their hand, either made of silver, jade, gold, some were even made of grass or bones.

Cang Wu Zhang was wearing a black jade bracelet, carved into the shape of two intertwining dragons.

“So, this thing?” Gu Qing Shan pointed at his bracelet and asked.

“Wait a minute! That’s my bracelet” Cang Wu Zhang exclaimed.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t pay attention to him and casually took the bracelet off.

Only to see lines of glowing text appear on the War God UI:

[Black jade dragon-shaped bracelet (damaged)]

[Inventory Bag]

[Contained a total of 21 defensive techniques, all of which were slain by ‘Earth’s choice’]

So it had already been damaged?

Gu Qing Shan silently thought as he scanned through it with his inner sight.

Sure enough, every last layer of protection and seals had been destroyed, revealing a mountain of numerous treasures of all shapes and sizes that filled the entire thing.

During his time at Heaven Pillar world, Gu Qing Shan had already given up all of his personal artifacts to the world fragments, so he was now piss poor, most likely unable to pay for even a cup of tea.

But now that had been resolved, not only was Cang Wu Zhang a young master of the Wraith realm, but he also used to be a Wraith Might that had conquered numerous worlds as well, the treasures he possessed were definitely much better than anything of the 900 million World Layers.

“What did you say?” Gu Qing Shan observed the bracelet and asked.

“That is——”

Cang Wu Zhang observed his expression, then thought of the items inside and carefully continued: “My bracelet”

Gu Qing Shan rubbed the bracelet against this Inventory Bag to empty everything, then put it back onto Cang Wu Zhang’s arm.

“Don’t worry, I don’t want your bracelet” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Cang Wu Zhang sighed in relief, then briefly examined his bracelet and turned completely white.

My countless years of accumulated wealth is gone!

All of a sudden, a thunderous and furious voice resounded from afar:

“Who dared to touch a member of our Wraith realm!”

This voice was transmitted from a considerable distance but still managed to cause the entire void of space to tremble.

Hearing this, the wraiths cheered.

“The Wraith Lord is here!”

“It’s the Wraith Lord!”

“General Wu Zhang will be fine!”

“This is perfect!”

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze turned to Yu.

Her expression still hadn’t changed, but her spirit loosened a bit.

... They’re sure about getting rid of me?

There was still so much he didn’t know about their Guise Hexes and Talisman techniques, for example Cang Wu Zhang who was able to use a talisman technique the previous time to pay other people’s lives in exchange for his, that talisman technique probably came from his old man.

That’s troublesome.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t wait any longer and triggered the spirit energy inside his Dantian to release all of his suppressed power.

Boundless spirit energy drifted around his body, exerting pressure that surpassed the limit of {Mahesvara King} realm.

Gu Qing Shan clutched Cang Wu Zhang’s neck tightly and whispered: “Your father seems to be quite impressive, but keep this in mind: if you keep messing with me, your father won’t be able to save you next time”

Instantly following that, an invisible Law attached itself to Gu Qing Shan’s body and brought him away from the encirclement of a million wraiths.

Heaven’s Tribulation!

The Sumeru Lord realm Tribulation!

Bypassing the Law of Space, Gu Qing Shan had instantly fled from this part of the space vortex to enter his Tribulation.

Not even a Wraith Lord could arbitrarily travel from the 900 million World Layers to Heaven Pillar world. Not to mention the fact that the Samsara barrier broken by Reneedol had already been fixed, and the Divine Mountain of Sumeru could no longer be invaded from the outside.

Cang Wu Zhang, on the other hand, didn’t have the mind to think about that much.

As soon as the Huang Quan Devil King left, the fear in his heart vanished, replaced by boundless rage.

In the middle of a million wraiths, I was easily captured and restrained by an enemy, then had everything in my dragon bracelet taken away, this kind of humiliation is simply unbearable.

A bunch of useless morons... unable to stop even one of his attacks.

Or perhaps, these guys never had the intention of protecting me in the first place?

All of them deserve to die!

Cang Wu Zhang forced his emotions down and shouted: “Somebody come, I——-”

His voice abruptly stopped.

In front of everyone, his head tilted and rolled down his neck, leaving only his headless body standing still.
