Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Gu Qing Shan bent forward and kept running with his sword in hand.

Behind him, Leng Tian Xing was also casting spells one after another, freezing all the demons chasing behind him in place.

Every demon that was rushing in from the front were cut into pieces by Gu Qing Shan's sword.

The two of them managed to advance through the sea of demons a few dozen meters more.

Suddenly, Leng Tian Xing called out with a hoarse voice: "I can only keep going for another 10 breaths at most"

Gu Qing Shan quickly turned around to see that many demons had already regained their senses and were rushing towards them.

All of them are at least Foundation realm, a few are even Golden Core realm, none of Leng Tian Xing's spells could kill them in one hit, and he couldn't always hit all of them, so his spell casting speed will soon not be enough.

This can't go one, otherwise Leng Tian Xing will die!

And if he dies, I alone can't even hope to reach the safe place.

"Do you have any talismans?" Gu Qing Shan contemplated, then asked.

"I do, but I've already used a lot, there aren't that many left" Leng Tian Xing answered.

"Let's change places, conserver your spirit energy, use talismans instead -------you only need to open up a path to advance, no need to care whether or not the demons die" Gu Qing Shan said

"You'll take the back?" Leng Tian Xing asked.

"Hm, I will" Gu Qing Shan answered

"…Fine"

Leng Tian Xing stared at him carefully.

In a dangerous situation like this, the one at the back would always die first if they are unable to keep up.

Gu Qing Shan's action this time really painted him in a new light again.

It was at this moment that he truly considers Gu Qing Shan a comrade.

"Get ready"

Gu Qing Shan said as he started unlocking his armor.

All the belts on the standard Vanguard legion armor were immediately unlocked. Gu Qing Shan swung his hand and threw it towards the demons at the back.

These demons were so bloodthirsty that even when they saw their own kind killed one after another by Leng Tian Xing's spells, they didn't retreat and instead advanced more and more.

Yet as soon as the armor covered in foul rotting flesh flew towards them, all the demons pinched their noses and ran away.

It really is too foul, even Leng Tian Xing himself had to use this spirit energy to block his breath and all the pores on his body to keep himself from fainting from the smell.

"Switch"

Gu Qing Shan shouted as the two of them switched places.

Leng Tian Xing took out a bunch of talisman and threw them out one by one, sending the demons that still hadn't gathered flying.

This wasn't the same as spell casting, he only needed to use a tiny bit of spirit energy to trigger a talisman, so the attack rate was very high, but this was him essentially burning money.

But Leng Tian Xing was a wealthy young master who never lacked money, since everyone else had already died and only the 2 of them were alive, he didn't care to hold back anymore and decided to use all the talismans he had.

As the demons from both sides retreated from the smell, they managed to advance a few dozens more meters when the two of them switched places.

"I can't believe this stench actually works" Leng Tian Xing thought a bit and said.

If I had compromised and smeared the Rotting Eater Demon flesh all over my body back then….

"Are you regretting now?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"No, definitely not" Leng Tian Xing's face went pale.

The two of them were still quickly moving forward.

As they ran further and further, the smell from the armor slowly became unnoticeable.

And soon, the frenzied demons started to catch up with them again.

"Kai Shan!"

Gu Qing Shan shouted loudly as he held the sword with both hands, the aura on his body suddenly became heavy.

One strike.

Boom -------pow!

Any demons that got hit by the sword got cut in two and sent rolling back from the excessive force.

All the demons on the way were also knocked down by the rolling pieces of demon corpses.

Kai Shan Style is a heavy sword style, each strike contains the power of a thousand tons, so any foe that's caught off guard will not get out unscathed.

But Kai Shan Style is also famously very slow in their movements, making it easy to dodge.

Normal Sword Cultivators will not use this kind of style that's full of openings.

Only the most stupid swordsmen, and the most skillful swordsmen dare to use this Sword Style.

Right now the sword was practically howling with each strike, carrying with it a white misty air as it sent the demons flying one after another.

Each strike would clear a bunch of demons out, so each strike relieves the pressure on them by a lot.

The two of them were like pieces of driftwood in the middle of a sea storm, having to try their best to go on, barely making it through each time.

Gu Qing Shan had already ignored precision and simply used Kai Shan Style to swing around wildly.

Under the current situation where demons were rushing them like waves in the sea, he didn't need to consider whether his attacks hit or miss, because it was actually harder to not hit anything.

Kai Shan Style's strength was being used by Gu Qing Shan to its utmost limit.

"Quickly advance" Leng Tian Xing shouted.

"Coming!" Gu Qing Shan swung once, then quickly shifted his body and retreated.

At this point, the two of them were blocking the advancing sea of demons and making sure their movement was on the correct path at the same time.

But since there were so many demons attacking them, as the person in the back, Gu Qing Shan surely couldn't prevent every attack.

Very quickly, just like Wu Jin and Ma Liu from before, Gu Qing Shan's body was covered in blood.

Gu Qing Shan simply endured and kept on swinging his sword.

"Kai Shan!"

He shouted silently.

Each strike was as heavy as a mountain, crushing the demons.

This was a life and death situation; he definitely can't show weakness.

Since there were so many demons attacking him at once, Gu Qing Shan has been ignoring most of them, only choosing to block the most fatal ones.

Time quickly passed, in the blink of an eye, they had already made a lot of progress again.

Their destination was already in sight.

Gu Qing Shan's body was wounded all over, many places even had so much flesh ripped away by the demons that his bones could be seen.

Wounds of this type were numerous, almost like he was suffering from some sort of flesh-rending punishment.

But Gu Qing Shan's face was as calm and composed as ever, his sword swings continued nonstop, seemingly unfazed by the pain.

Leng Tian Xing's inner sight took a glance and was shocked to no end.

5 breaths later, Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: "How far?"

"Only 30 meters more, I can see the cave entrance!" Leng Tian Xing was also panicking.

"Good"

This was the time that Gu Qing Shan was waiting for.

He shifted his body to one side, held the sword in both hands and pointed the tip as the sea of demons in front, and muttered.

"Secret Art"

In just a second, the spirit energy in his Dantian rushed upwards and out, flowing through his hands into the Longsword.

The sword let out a 'wu wu' sound.

Gu Qing Shan had calculated every single bit of spirit energy exactly, saving just enough spirit energy for this moment.

His spirit energy was just barely enough to use this Secret Art.

Leng Tian Xing pupils contracted.

With his knowledge, of course he can tell how strong this Sword technique is.

What technique is this, why haven't I seen it before?

Leng Tian Xing searched his memory and found that this technique was different from every single sword style he knows.

Could it be a Secret Art?

Despite being known as a Sword Cultivator's spells, they weren't things that just any random person can learn.

Leng Tian Xing was incredibly shaken, but held back his urge to turn around and only used his inner sight to observe.

In just a second, Gu Qing Shan's fighting spirit has reached its peak.

While the Qian Qi sword was letting out a 'wu wu' sound before, it suddenly went silent.

Intense killing intent flowed along the sword, enough to make you shiver.

"It is, it's a Secret Art, he knows a Secret Art!"

Leng Tian Xing couldn't help but silently shouted in shock.

The last bit of pride he had left in him was now gone.

In front of Gu Qing Shan, the flow of demons was stopped like the flow of water, demons that were behind couldn't wait and climbed up, stepping on demons in front to move forward.

The demons stacked up higher and higher, became a towering several-foot-tall wall of demons, crashing down on both of them.

"Water Flow Severance!"

Gu Qing Shan shouted, his sword pointed directly forward.

If you can slow down time at this very moment, you'd see layers upon layers of phantom swords, concentrated in one spot on the blade of the Qian Qi sword.

In a split second, the tsunami of phantom swords overflowed.

And the blade of the sword that released all that power, was slowly cracking.

Numerous cracks grew more and more, then fully covered the sword.

The very moment before the sword broke apart.

The world itself went silent.

Suddenly.

A thunderous rhythmic sound like the giants of ancient time themselves were beating the drum can be heard.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Blinding phantom swords burst from the tip of Qian Qi sword and rushed forward to create a deafening noise.

The huge wall made up of demons was blown up and crashed before scattering into dust and disappeared.

The sea of demons was no more, only the desolate, desert-like landscape was left. Numerous severed limbs scattered about, the stench of blood in the air was so thick it could make you sick.

The demons that were rushing here from afar held faces of fear and uncertainty, stopped right at the edge of where the phantom swords exploded, didn't dare to take even a single step forward.

One sword strike could split a river in half and stop its flow.

Having such power, it's only suitable to call it [Water Flow Severance]!

Clink.

A small sound was heard, as Qian Qi sword couldn't handle the power of a Secret Art, it broke into pieces and scattered.

The only thing left was the handle still in Gu Qing Shan's hand.

Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth and felt a deep sense of loss.

He took so long to find a sword, only to break it with a single use of a Secret Art.

Reluctantly, he threw away the handle, then rushed forward.

Mountain Levelling Rush!

Gu Qing Shan moved forward, blocked a hungry demon for Leng Tian Xing and broke its neck.

"We're going!" he shouted

"On it!"

Leng Tian Xing also knows that they are already at the last leg, suppressed the surprise in his heart and triggered all the talisman in his hands, throwing them out like they're not worth any money.
