Chapter 409: Devil King of h.e.l.l
Translated by: La0o9
As Gu Qing Shan came out of the bar, the door behind him slammed shut by itself.
The entire bar turned into a giant card that slowly faded away.
Gu Qing Shan found himself now returned to the deck of the s.h.i.+p and just opened his eyes.
At the same time, all 18 cards disappeared.
The other 17 powerhouses of h.e.l.l also opened their eyes.
“What the heck, does a simple rule actually needs to be told by using this strange method?”
“Yeah”
“Maybe the Devil King Warden Rod made a mistake or something”
They were loudly complaining.
But everyone had already silently took their weapons in hand.
The rules for the fight to become the Devil King were explained very clearly by the cards.
Getting off the s.h.i.+p means forfeiting, dying means disqualified.
The last one to remain on the s.h.i.+p is the winner.
They will receive the Devil King Warden Rod.
At this time, everyone had 10 breaths to get ready.
The 18 powerhouses stared at each other in indifference.
Giants, Humans, Fiendkinds, Beast Kings, Asura.
As well as the strange-looking chaotic creatures.
Their organs, senses and body structures are in completely wrong places.
During their era, the sun never showed and so darkness covers everything.
All chaotic creatures use their sense of touch to communicate, and no one could see anyone else.
So things like outer appearance are completely secondary to survival.
Above the powerful dead, the Devil King Warden Rod hovered in midair, waiting for its new master.
The new Devil King of the 18 layers of h.e.l.l will be born within the 18 people here.
With the rod in hand, the Devil King holds dominance over h.e.l.l.
Since the Divinities are no longer here, the Devil King is the absolute ruler of Huang Quan!
Everyone are battle-ready, no one is in a relaxed state.
With tacit understanding, the powerhouses all stand a certain distance from each other.
At a certain point, all 18 dead’s expressions changed.
The Devil King Warden Rod had signaled the start of combat.
“It seems we can begin” one dead spoke up first.
He looked at the 7 leaders with a cruel gaze: “10 vs 7, do you understand what this number means?”
Another spoke up: “Ahaha, it means that killing you is as easy as squis.h.i.+ng a bug, so if you jump s.h.i.+p right now, you’ll at least escape from the pain”
“Don’t let them run, kill them all, then we’ll slowly pick one out among ourselves!” the female Fiendkind shouted.
All of the 10 dead were smiling triumphantly.
The 7 leaders stood by each other, raising their weapons in caution.
Gu Qing Shan backed down and joined them.
“Now it’s 8 vs 10” the female Asura puffed her chest out.
The female Fiendkind stared straight at Gu Qing Shan, grinding her teeth: “Brat, I can still remember every word that you spoke to me”
“There’s no need to remember me so dearly” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Why? Because you’re scared?” the female Fiendkind asked intrigue.
“No, because you’re about to die”
Suddenly, the female Fiendkind disappeared from where the 10 stood and appeared in the middle of the 7 leaders.
Pss.h.!.+
Before the female Fiendkind understood what had happened, the 7 leaders have already acted.
The 7 of them all used their full power, either piercing or slas.h.i.+ng the female Fiendkind.
She was dead in an instant.
The female Asura chopped off her head and smirked: “I said I was going to kill you, and so I have!”
On the other side.
Gu Qing Shan appeared in the middle of the remaining 9 dead.
Layers upon layers of black phantom swords bloomed like a flower centered on himself.
One second later.
Gu Qing Shan swung his sword.
All the phantom swords disappeared.
He had canceled [Drawn Shadow]
“What is it!” Shannu hurriedly asked.
“Ah… I just felt like I was making a mountain out of a molehill”
Gu Qing Shan held the Six Paths Great Mountain sword horizontally and muses.
He’s already fully absorbed the Asura King’s entire life’s worth of battle experience and made it his own.
Both his skills and vision far exceeds that of his previous self.
“Die! Brat!”
The other 9 finally reacted.
Intense attacks all came at him at the same time.
His sword flashed.
Exactly 9 flashes.
Clang!
The 9 sounds of impact resounded at almost the exact same time.
Although each weapons collided with varying degrees of power, all 9 dead took a step back at the exact same time in perfect unison.
Gu Qing Shan’s body slightly lowered as his sword was hidden behind his stance.
His body was bent in a stance as if ready to sprint.
“The path of one sword, as simple as…”
Halfway through his whisper, his body disappeared.
An intense breeze erupted on the deck of the s.h.i.+p.
The breeze was cold.
The wind left no openings to hide from.
Gu Qing Shan appeared in the wind.
He casually swing his sword.
As if running into some sort of trouble, he was frowning intensely.
“I’m so used to using two swords now that when I suddenly have to use only one it’s a bit uncomfortable”
He said.
Shannu smiled at him: “I don’t see how any of that is uncomfortable”
It was absolutely still around where they are.
The 9 deads are completely silent and stiff.
The very next second, their heads all dropped and rolled around the deck.
Clunk!
Nine bodies collapsed on the s.h.i.+p’s deck with a heavy thud.
The deck of the s.h.i.+p was slowly being dyed red.
The 9 dead were all killed by Gu Qing Shan, sent back to their respective h.e.l.ls.
A total of 4 civilizations were born in the history of the planet.
But even then, none of those civilizations managed to compare with the cultivation civilization.
And Gu Qing Shan is an Ascended realm late stage cultivator.
Even in the cultivation world, his cultivation is still the strongest below the Saints.
He’s a sword cultivator whose expertise are risking his life in close combat, having two lives’ worth of combat experience as well as all the experience of the Asura King.
He’s currently the only sword saint in existence.
Fiendkind, giant, human, chaotic creatures, none of them could match up to his sword.
Even the Asura and Beast King are easily dispatched by a single slash.
Shannu was a bit confused so she asked: “Your techniques are still perfect, but I keep feeling like you’re in some sort of hurry”
Gu Qing Shan sighed: “My body is still back in the human realm, there will probably be a few enemies who try to attack my body, so I have to hurry up”
Saying so, his expression s.h.i.+fted a bit.
The 7 leaders greeted him.
“I didn’t think humanity would give birth to someone like you” the human old man smiled.
“If there’s nothing else, we’ll get off the s.h.i.+p” the giant slowly spoke.
One by one, they walked past Gu Qing Shan and jumped down from the deck of the s.h.i.+p.
The female Asura stopped as she walked by him.
“What is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“The water is too cold” the female Asura looked down below and spoke in a low voice.
“You’re an Asura and you’re afraid of some water?” Gu Qing Shan laughed.
The female Asura smirked, then licked her lips in a provocative manner.
“I don’t care, I’ll have you make it up to me” she said.
“I’m sorry, I have a girl I like” Gu Qing Shan answered.
“Is that so? How unfortunate, then how about we have a battle when we have some time?”
“That’s fine”
The female Asura nodded satisfyingly before jumping from the deck.
Gu Qing Shan was the only person left on the large s.h.i.+p.
The Devil King Warden Rod hovered down, silently floating in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan was still hesitant to take it and asked: “Why isn’t it saying anything?”
Shannu explained: “Back in the Age of Old, its weapon spirit was already killed by the Divinities, so it has been operating on a predetermined course set by the previous Devil King”
“Pick out the new Devil King, summon all of h.e.l.l, that is all it’s capable of”
Gu Qing Shan loosened up a bit.
He reached out to take the Devil King Warden Rod.
A few notifications popped up on the War G.o.d UI.
