Chapter 1433: The calamity of Law
The cold gleam of the blade was swung down, only to let out a chiming ‘clang’.
A sword appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan’s neck that firmly blocked the blade’s attack.
The Earth sword.
“Ah? You’re quite decent, being able to block my attack”
The other party was wearing a military uniform, smirking and scoffing, right as he pulled his sword back and swung down again violently.
At the very next moment.
He was abruptly sent flying away from Gu Qing Shan.
A black spear appeared where the man originally stood without so much as a drop of blood on it.
“Focus”
Shroud said.
He was now considerably taller than before, his physique was slender but healthy, his skin still appeared quite tanned, his eyes giving off a sharp and clear killing intent.
Gu Qing Shan nodded, then looked around himself.
They were standing near the river that connected the entire world, a small dinghy had fallen by the bank, two groups of unfamiliar people were fighting and killing one another.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t see Reneedol among them.
Other than Shroud, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t recognize any one of them.
Having been sent forward by ten years, he didn’t know anything that had happened in between, nor their current situation.
Gu Qing Shan drew his sword and called out towards Shroud: “Stay in front, I’ll cover your back”
“Good!”
Shroud replied and leapt towards the enemies.
He seemed to be extremely angry, each of his attacks was delivered with his full strength, and almost no one could stop a single strike coming from him.
Occasionally, some powerful Combatants who did manage to stop the black spear would then be killed by Gu Qing Shan’s follow-up attack from behind.
With their cooperation, they quickly made their way through the battle zone like it was an empty field.
But very strangely, Shroud wasn’t communicating with the world, nor was he using the power of the Laws. He merely relied on his physical strength to skillfully control the spear in his hand.
So were the others.
Noticing this, Gu Qing Shan silently attempted to use his power.
——-Huang Quan Origin power could still be used.
This is a power that belongs to the Samsara, not Origin power from the Laws of this current world.
But the origin power of the soul cannot be used.
Aside from that, when Gu Qing Shan attempted to sense the void of space, he discovered that Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind were all rejecting his contact.
It was quite similar to the Earth World.
So, what exactly happened?
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, an abrupt shout resounded throughout the battle zone.
“Brats, you’re being too arrogant!”
A fully-armored Combatant appeared in front of them.
He raised his hammer to form a stance and shouted: “Who exactly are you?”
Shroud loudly replied: “I am——-”
Before he even finished, a bolt of lightning shot out from behind him, striking the Combatant’s chest.
He was sent flying and died before he even hit the ground, his body rolled on the ground like a bag of dirt, leaving a long line of dirt and sand behind it.
Shroud turned around to look at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan pulled his sword back, replying: “You can give him the chance to talk, but not the chance to survive.
Shroud said: “We’re cutting our way back”
“Got it” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Shroud was about to charge forward, but then paused briefly: “Leave some of them alive, we still need to ask about Reneedol’s whereabouts”
Gu Qing Shan paused, then replied: “Got it”
The two of them fought while returning to the others.
The strongest person on the enemy side was dead and everyone else wasn’t much to deal with.
Since none of them was able to utilize supernatural abilities; no one was a match for Shroud’s and Gu Qing Shan’s combination.
Not too long after that, the battle ended.
Shroud propped his spear on one of their necks and shouted: “Speak, where did you bring that girl?”
The man hurriedly replied: “Don’t kill me. After stealing your ship, our boss headed towards Hundred Martial City”
Shroud put his spear away and urged Gu Qing Shan: “Hurry, we need to go now!”
“Wait!”
Gu Qing Shan held Shroud back, then looked at the other party: “Are you sure they were headed towards Hundred Martial City?”
“I’m sure, the bunch of you are so strong, why would I lie to you!” the man replied.
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes flickered, then looked around.
Other than him, they had also taken two other people as prisoners.
Gu Qing Shan raised his sword.
Three swords, each stabbed through one of their chests, pinning them all to the ground.
“Aarrgh!”
“I’ve already told you, why——”
“Spare me!”
All three of them screamed in pain.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression was unchanged and said: “Shroud, lead everyone to Hundred Martial City, I’ll wait here for your news”
Shroud looked at the three on the ground, then at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and continued: “My swords are only an inch away from their hearts. Everything would be fine if none of them lied, but if they tried to fool you, I’ll chop them into pieces and feed them to the fishes in the river”
“Got it!”
Shroud replied and prepared to leave.
Seeing him about to head out, one of the three suddenly shouted out loud: “Don’t don’t don’t! It wasn’t actually Hundred Martial City; our boss was actually heading East!”
Shroud stopped.
Gu Qing Shan swung his swords.
The heads of the other two were sent flying.
“@#$&*!” the man who talked was so shocked he started spouting nonsense.
Gu Qing Shan crouched down, looked straight at him and asked: “You aren’t lying this time?”
“Not at all! Definitely not lying! Actually, the boss headed down the path to the East—– please spare my life!”
The man trembled and begged.
Gu Qing Shan stood up and grabbed his neck, then said: “Shroud, let’s head East”
Shroud was concerned about Reneedol, so he replied immediately: “Got it!”
Everyone began to head East, swiftly running to their destination.
Around ten miles later.
They saw a collapsed horse carriage.
A mass of corpses.
A beautiful girl was standing on top of the carriage’s trunk, seemingly bored.
Noticing the commotion from afar, she looked up and saw everyone.
“Shroud! You’ve arrived!”
The girl delightfully called out.
Shroud ran forward and hurriedly asked: “Are you ok?”
Reneedol smiled and replied: “Do I look like I’m not ok?”
She pointed at the corpses and said as if boasting: “Look, I killed all of them here”
At this time, Gu Qing Shan had scanned through all the corpses and said: “These people all died a different way, some were killed by magic, some by cold weapons, some by martial arts—— how did you do this?”
“Did you use your powers of Fate?” Shroud also asked.
Reneedol was waiting for this question, so she pridefully boasted: “Their boss was the strongest, he tried to touch me on the way, so I absorbed his powers and killed him while he wasn’t careful”
“After that, I felt that it would be too easy to kill them all, so I used the boss’ power to kill his aide, then the aide’s power to kill the squad leader, then use the squad leader’s power to kill the minions”
Gu Qing Shan looked at all these people’s corpses.
All of their bodies were riddled with wounds, a clear sign of being tortured to death.
While they were already dead, their faces still displayed an expression of disbelief and fear.
Gu Qing Shan silently pondered.
…
「 —–the other wing will help you absorb power, becoming the companion of the ‘strongest one’」
…
Recalling the Law Behemoth’s description when Reneedol first obtained the power of Fate, Gu Qing Shan felt like he could understand this Fate-type ability somewhat.
Even while everyone couldn’t utilize supernatural powers, Reneedol was still able to absorb other people’s abilities and unleash them by converting them into Fate-type abilities.
——-what exactly happened in this world?
Shroud sighed in relief, then said: “It’s a good thing that among the three Great Laws of Reality, only the power of Fate could not be sealed away——- it’s so hateful that my powers are temporarily sealed away, unable to protect you well”
Reneedol chuckled, then shook her head: “It’s ok. We’re currently in an era of chaos, so I can’t continue being lazy anymore”
Her gaze was profoundly still and continued: “The Law Behemoths are killing one another and disregarding living beings, only remaining in awe of Fate—– so this is time for me to step out and protect everyone”
