Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Chapter 1303 - Run-in


Chapter 1303: Run-in

Gu Qing Shan emerged from the small room.

“How was it? What codename did you get?” Crow asked with interest.

“Dragon King of Atrocity Jail” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Crow carefully dissected this codename and slowly spoke: “It sounds quite special, how much did it cost you?”

“50 Golden void coins” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“So much!?” Crow was surprised, “Then that assistant must have spent quite a bit of effort”

Gu Qing Shan just smiled without saying anything else.

He had basically used up all the money in his savings, leaving nothing but a single silver coin.

Not good, after returning to the Guild, I have to quickly exchange some points for money, otherwise, I wouldn’t even have money to go out for drinking.

A maid appeared out of nowhere, bowing to them: “Please follow me, I will escort you out of the manor”

“Ah, thank you” the two of them both replied.

Perhaps it was his imagination, but Gu Qing Shan felt like the gaze this maid was giving him contained a hint of inexplicable delight.

What are you delighted about?

Gu Qing Shan silently wondered.

The maid led the two of them outside.

Halfway through, another maid suddenly appeared.

This maid’s appearance seemed to be a bit anxious as she said: “There are guests coming, please follow me on the smaller path”

Gu Qing Shan and Crow nodded, letting the two maids lead them.

The City Lord’s manor was heavily restricted, not only was the sky filled with overlapping and non-overlapping barriers of various kinds, but the ground also contained specially designed traps, if there was no one to lead them, they really wouldn’t have the courage to walk around as they pleased.

As they were about to turn into a smaller path from the main path, a group of people appeared at the end of the road.

A group of 7-8 men in yaksha masks.

Gu Qing Shan swiftly snuck a glance at these wraiths.

—–so the so-called guests were them.

What did they come to the City Lord’s manor for?

“Esteemed guests, we’re going this way”

The maid hurriedly turned Gu Qing Shan and Crow onto the smaller road to avoid these guests.

But the sound of chattering could be heard from the other side.

“People from the Hitman Guild…”

“A bunch of clowns, they will soon bow down to us”

“So underground rats have the gall to come to the City Lord’s manor as well…”

The Wraith realm humans were speaking openly without reserves.

As sharp a person as Gu Qing Shan, his expression remained completely unchanged, acting like he didn’t hear it and continued heading towards the smaller road.

—–this place is none other than the manor of Void City’s Lord.

Each event, each statement made here could easily represent the true intentions of a certain organization.

——-and yet the Wraith realm were openly provoking the Hitman Guild in the City Lord’s manor!

They must have already prepared something.

Perhaps they weren’t aiming for the Hitman Guild in particular, but rather for any organization that appeared at the manor of Void City’s Lord.

Crown and I just happened to be in the right place at the wrong time.

In just a second, Gu Qing Shan had already made his decision.

He decided not to take the bait.

However, Crow abruptly turned around.

“A bunch of bastards who are neither human nor wraiths trying to mock our Hitman Guild?” he coldly snorted.

Gu Qing Shan’s heart turned heavy.

—–Crow is a Titled Hitman, a member of the highest-ranking combat power of the Hitman Guild.

With Crow’s status, if he casually allowed others to mock his Guild and himself, he would no longer be qualified to remain in Void City.

The Wraith realm humans on the other side immediately stopped.

They stopped almost immediately as Crow started speaking.

As Crow just finished speaking, they were already battle-ready.

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze moved around, seeing these men exchanging gestures and eye signals, clearly arranging something.

——as expected, this was planned, but I wonder what they’re trying to express by using the Hitman Guild to make an example?

Crow’s lips were already curled into a smile as he whispered to Gu Qing Shan: “Sorry for dragging you into this”

Gu Qing Shan shook his head, his mind moved in a split second.

Both Crow and I haven’t made any preparations to fight.

The other party must have already planned everything down to the very last detail.

If something really does happen, Crow and I will end up terribly.

But this is the City Lord’s manor, so if a fight breaks out, guards would immediately come running.

In other words—–

For this possible skirmish alone, the Wraith realm humans were fully confident in being able to decide victory and defeat.

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze quickly scanned through.

In the blink of an eye, the people all around had already made their various reactions——

The leader of the Wraith realm humans was just about to speak, the subordinates around him silently preparing something, the maids of the manor appeared hesitant and confused, Crow had only just placed his hand on his rapier.

In that blink of an eye.

Gu Qing Shan moved.

Everyone only saw a blur before an autumn-water clear blue steel sword was already propped against the wraith leader’s throat.

Colorful rays of light erupted from the wraith leader’s body, countless runes and defensive means appeared one after another, giving off a light shattering noise, then disappeared.

The Divine Mountain’s [Law Breaker].

No defensive abilities could stop this sword!

Everyone was stunned.

This strike was so fast that no one was able to react to it.

This strike pierced through all defensive techniques in an inconceivably simple manner.

“Just now you said… We Hitmen were a bunch of clowns?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The sword was slightly pulled.

A thin line of blood immediately appeared on the other party’s neck.

Blood flowed.

“Release the Elder!”

“Damn it, you’re finished, Hitman”

“Pull back your sword”

“Bastard, you’re courting death!”

Among the loud shouting, Gu Qing Shan’s sword was pulled back a bit more.

The wound on the elder’s neck expanded.

More blood flowed.

“If you continue to complain, I’ll just kill him” Gu Qing Shan casually replied.

Everyone immediately went quiet.

The two maids hurriedly went to call for the others.

Crow laughed out loud: “Ahahaha, getting a sword on your neck before you even acted, I’d like to see how you can keep acting arrogant now”

He was actually quite surprised.

He was a Titled Hitman of the Guild, so this was inevitable.

Originally, as the two sides clashed, there should first be some threats, speak of old grudges and debts, discern the problem, which would then lead to an all-out fight between two factions.

Since the manor’s maids were still here, the other side must also consider collateral damage.

After all, if either of them hurt the people of the manor, that would be hurting the City Lord’s reputation and causing an even bigger issue.

But without saying a single word, Gu Qing Shan went in for the kill.

How do I describe this attitude?

——a dog that only bites without barking?

As Crow silently thought, his expression became cautious.

He was slowly realizing what was going on.

These Wraith realm humans are truly ready to cause trouble and have made the preparations for it.

His method of going straight in without reasoning is the correct one.

“Everyone silence!”

The wraith elder suddenly spoke up.

He took off his mask and stared closely at the sword, almost like looking at a precious treasure, and muttered with a dry voice: “A sword that cuts Laws… this sword must be… the only natural enemy”

This wraith leader turned to Gu Qing Shan and whispered: “Fiend, I have a transaction that you cannot refuse that I wish to propose”

“Oh?”

Gu Qing Shan replied, but his killing intent abruptly rose to a peak.

At this point, guards from all around the City Lord’s manor had reached the scene.

“Everyone cease!” a guard captain shouted.

Gu Qing Shan immediately put his sword away.

Seeing the manor’s guards arriving, the Wraith realm humans all looked at their leader.

He waved his hand dismissively to signal them to stop.

The opportunity had passed.

They had no choice but to calm back down.

——they were going to cause a scene to display their strength, but that plan had gone down the drains.

“Anyone else who dares attack will be killed without question!”

A robed caster descended from above and shouted.

“What exactly happened here?”

He turned to the two maids.

He seemed to hold a very high status in the manor as the two maids immediately bowed down as they saw him, quickly explaining what happened.

The caster looked at the Wraith realm humans, then at the two Hitmen.

“If no fight broke out, then forget it”

“Hitmen, you may leave now”

He said.

Crow laughed: “Bastards from the Wraith realm, keep this well in mind, your outcome next time isn’t going to be quite a simple as a sword against your neck”

He pulled Gu Qing Shan away.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at the Wraith realm humans, seeing the wraith leader still staring at him, seemingly pondering something.

A sword that cuts Laws.

You want my sword?

Gu Qing Shan coldly laughed, then silently changed his Title to [Starflame War God]

As the guards watched the two Hitmen leaving and relaxed slightly, the wraith leader abruptly moved.

He rushed forward without any warnings and ambushed one of the Hitmen from behind.

“You’re not going anywhere, leave your sword!” he shouted.

Gu Qing Shan had been waiting for this moment.

The Earth sword appeared from the void of space and swung from afar——–

Countless black sword images erupted from the sword like a blooming lotus, surrounding the wraith leader.

Secret Art, [Drawn Shadow]!

But something strange occurred.

The black sword images suddenly vanished and instead surrounded Gu Qing Shan and Crow.

「 It’s a Causality Law technique! Gu Qing Shan, quickly dispel your sword seal! 」

The Earth sword abruptly sent his voice.

Gu Qing Shan quickly caught the opportunity to dispel his sword seal and took the Earth sword back into his hand.

——so they were relying on this Causality Law technique that can reflect damage!

This must be an unprecedented Causality Law.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at Crow, confirming that he also had a shocked expression.

Indeed.

Then, the Wraith realm humans provoked Crow and I earlier because they had this Causality Law technique prepared, looking to borrow the City Lord manor’s dignity to step on the Hitman Guild and flaunt their reputation.

My first strike most likely managed to hurt him thanks to the Six Paths Great Mountain sword’s [Law Breaker] power.

No wonder the wraith elder said my sword was their only natural enemy.

Damn it, if I knew about this, I wouldn’t have tried to use [Earth’s Choice] to slay him, it would have been better to use the Six Paths Great Mountain sword instead!

Gu Qing Shan drew the Six Paths Great Mountain sword again.

—–but the opportunity had already passed.

The wraith leader’s eyes regained their clarity.

From the void of space, eight casters had appeared at the same time.

They each wielded a metallic chain and threw it towards the wraith leader.

Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan’s hand-holding sword loosened.
