Aboard the bounty hunters’ ship.

The grey giant pulled back his gaze from the sky.

He felt uneasy when he looked at the wall of flesh in the sky, but for now, something else was more important.

“You found our guy?” he asked.

“Yes, Boss”

“How’s his strength?”

“According to a cultivator’s power level, he should be around the standard for a late-stage Tribulation realm cultivator ”

The entire bounty hunter squad broke into laughter.

Normally, against a cultivator, if their target reached the level of Chaotic Star, Origin Aspect, Radiant Soul, or Void Beholder, then the entire bounty hunter squad would have to be wary.

——-after all, their bounty hunter squad wasn’t even in the top rankings of the Strife Zones’ 200 million World Layers.

But if it was just a Tribulation realm cultivator, they had more than enough leeway.

The grey giant looked at his subordinates and declared: “Alright, no matter what’s happening to this world, our goal is to make money, first and foremost!”

“All teams, roll out, we’re going to kill that man!”

“Yes! Boss!”

…

Gu Qing Shan was slowly descending.

The sky had already been blocked out by the demon bug.

—–no, the entire world had actually been devoured whole.

As this world fell into the bug’s stomach, it had become strangely quiet.

The same silence that came before a storm.

“The demon scorpion family got caught” Gu Qing Shan said.

“What happened?” Little Dusk asked.

Gu Qing Shan told her everything from the beginning.

“That sounds like a method of restraint that Divinities liked to use” Little Dusk commented, full of thoughts.

She turned back into her real form and drew a card from thin air.

The Summoning card, [Demon Scorpion Empress]

As Little Dusk looked at it, she found that there wasn’t anything depicted on it.

“I can’t summon her? Seems like something really did happen” Little Dusk scowled.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the blank card and asked: “Was she also part of the Condemnation—– Fugitive deck?”

“No, she was only a creature that thrived within the Abyss of Sin. Because she once happened to have contact with my power from before I scattered it, she willingly signed a contract card with me”

“What is the Abyss of Sin?”

“Below the drifting sand, in the abyss where the seal was—— the Divinities placed a few wardens in that area to watch over the seal, so that when something happens, the wardens will immediately notify them about it and perform emergency measures to stop the seal from breaking” Little Dusk explained.

“But Divinities have been gone for a long time” Gu Qing Shan commented.

“Which is why they’ve been living so peacefully and freely in the Abyss of Sin, never having to go anywhere” Little Dusk.

“But they didn’t expect that the Divinities would have already put counter-measures to prevent them from ever leaving” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

The two of them went silent briefly.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly raised his sword.

Little Dusk also threw out a card.

It was a card depicting a white net bag.

Defensive card, [Reflective Net Bag]!

[Reflective Net Bag: Fully reflecting the first attack of an opponent back at them]

[Note: An eye for an eye!]

[Note: This net bag cannot reflect a sure-kill attack, it also can’t reflect attacks that surpasses three times an Envoy of Condemnation’s strength]

Sha!

The card scattered.

A net of light made up of white glowing strings manifested in the air.

The net blocked in front of the two of them, stopping a glittering pillar of light.

The pillar of light slowly sank deeper and deeper into the net, stretching close to their faces.

“It’s fine, the net is still far from reaching its limit, this attack can still be reflected” Little Dusk said.

As soon as she said so, the pillar of light was rolled into a ball and shot back.

Not too far in the sky, a ball of fire erupted.

A ship had just exploded, breaking into pieces.

Gu Qing Shan and Little Dusk stared closely at the ship.

It seems the attack just now was an ambush that came from that ship.

“Did you offend somebody?” Little Dusk asked.

“I didn’t, but someone is trying to catch us” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Who’s trying to catch us?” Little Dusk asked curiously.

“The Holy Church of Death, of course” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Little Dusk finally realized what was going on.

Where the ship fell, over a dozen people jumped out from the explosion, quickly flying towards them.

The two sides weren’t too far apart.

Those people quickly approached and surrounded them.

Little Dusk asked: “These people don’t look like divine officers, what are they trying to catch us for? Or are they the Divinities’ new weapons?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “No, it’s because the Holy Church issued a bounty on us”

“What’s a bounty?”

“…”

Gu Qing Shan understood Little Dusk a little bit better.

Little Dusk knew a lot of ancient secrets and was a decent fighter, but she didn’t have much? common sense.

So he briefly explained to her what a bounty was.

While they were talking, a grey giant stepped out from among the dozen humanoids.

He was holding a wanted poster.

After confirming the man and woman on the wanted poster with the two in front of him, the grey giant nodded.

We have the right targets.

He curtly ordered: “Go, kill them!”

As the leader of a squad, he has always believed that there is no need to chat with an enemy.

With his order, the entire bounty hunter squad attacked all at once.

Little Dusk quickly spoke: “You’re too weak, just focus on protecting yourself, I’ll be the main attacker”

“Got it” Gu Qing Shan easily agreed.

Those people are too strong, if I was by myself, I would have already tried to run away.

He fully equipped his Shen Wei general armor and prepared for battle.

Little Dusk quickly leapt forward with a card in her hand.

She was taking on the majority of the enemy’s forces.

But 7-8 people still managed to slip past towards Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan scanned them with his inner sight.

None of them were weaker than him.

Briefly sensing their power levels, the weakest of them was equal to a Tribulation realm cultivator.

Some were even as strong as a Virtualized or Cryptic realm cultivator.

One of them had even surpassed Cryptic, faintly appearing to be around that of Chaotic Star realm!

Gu Qing Shan carefully avoided that person, held both his swords in hand and suddenly appeared in between the three weakest people.

Sha.

[Life Seeker]!

Two of them were instantly killed.

One of them managed to block Gu Qing Shan’s attack purely by instinct.

The others became vigilant.

“Careful, his sword can attack from afar” the strongest of the bounty hunters cautioned the rest.

Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.

He only managed to kill two people even though he acted so unexpectedly.

The other side no longer tried to approach him, instead, they kept their distance and used long-ranged spells instead.

The strongest bounty hunter and two other close-ranged fighters carefully kept their attention on the casters in case Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared between them again.

And the casters unleashed their spells as fast as possible.

[Chaotic Void Cutter]!

[Explosive Fireball]!

[Ray of Petrification]!

[Air Cracker]!

[Hammer of Frost]!

Various spells give off blinding light as they shoot towards Gu Qing Shan.

——all of them at once!

The spells were shot in a way so that they prefect sealed off Gu Qing Shan’s escape routes.

Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to prepare to use [Shadow Shift].

Suddenly, one of them who hadn’t done anything up to now jumped out.

He shouted: “Law: All spell attacks will instantly hit!”

In the blink of an eye, the speeding rays of magic instantly stretched into thin strings that crashed into Gu Qing Shan.

Boom!

Being hit head-on by this barrage of spells, Gu Qing Shan was sent flying into the desert, kicking up a huge wave of sand.

The sand and dust settled.

Gu Qing Shan stood up among the sand, spitting blood out from his mouth.

The Shen Wei armor managed to block the barrage of spells for him, but it was also now broken.

Not only were the enemies skillful and experienced, but their combination of Professions was also well-thought-out, taking advantage of the element of surprise, Gu Qing Shan fell into their trap.

Using the power of a single person to go against enemies that were both stronger and well-coordinated was never an easy feat.

—–not to mention that this was the Strife Zones, and these were professional combat-type bounty hunters.

Gu Qing Shan smiled.

He lightly shivered to drop all the broken pieces of the armor off his body.

“A single sentence to allow so many spells to hit the target, this must be word magic…”

“How interesting to run into such a thing”

He muttered.

While facing this deadly karmic adversity, Gu Qing Shan had nothing but endless killing intent.

He grabbed the void of space again.

Taking both the Chao Yin sword and Six Paths Great Mountain sword in his hands.

Gu Qing Shan was about to leap upwards.

When all of a sudden, a figure fell from the sky, landing next to Gu Qing Shan.

Little Dusk.

She was breathing heavily and said: “Not good, too many, very hard to deal with”

Gu Qing Shan stopped and looked at her: “You’re hurt as well?”

In the sky, under the command of the grey giant, the two of them were quickly surrounded again.

One of his subordinates laughed: “Boss, this job seems to be quite easy, isn’t it?”

“Yes, too easy, which makes me think of something else” the grey giant fell into thought.

“What is it?” the subordinate asked.

“If the Holy Church wants them dead so badly, could it be because they know some sort of secret…”

“Boss, you mean?”

“Pry it out of them before we kill them”

“If we do that, wouldn’t that upset the Holy Church?”

“Yes… so I’m a bit hesitant”

While they were talking, Little Dusk and Gu Qing Shan were also quickly discussing among themselves.

“They have the number advantage, are better-coordinated and stronger than we are, do you have any ideas?”? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Little Dusk shook her head: “I fight mainly through spells and magic, so now that I’ve lost the majority of my powers and they’re ganging up on us like this, it’s very hard to get through”

Gu Qing Shan sighed and spoke: “Then we can only…”

Before he even finished, Little Dusk cut him off and continued: “Looks like we’ll have to fight together”

Gu Qing Shan was slightly confused and asked: “What do you mean?”

Little Dusk reached two of her pearly white fingers out into the void of space and lightly drew.

She took out a single card.

This card was unlike a normal card.

A gentle 7-colored light lingered around the card, making it seem like it was glittering.

Depicted on this card were two beautiful angels standing back-to-back, both of them praying.

Little Dusk stared closely at the card and said: “I’ve never had a partner before, so this is the first time I’ve used this card as well”

She threw the card out.

It instantly disappeared.

A grey glow came out from Gu Qing Shan’s body.

While a lapis glow came out from Little Dusk.

The two glows melded together and formed a string.

The string formed a connection between Gu Qing Shan and Little Dusk.

The string of light only appeared for a split second before fading away.

Little Dusk muttered: “Now it’s different”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the War God UI.

Several lines of glowing text had already appeared on the UI.
