A dark violet light shot straight to the sky.
Everyone turned to look.
They saw that the people being held in place by Kitty’s power had linked hands to form a double ring shape.
The dark violet light was channelled through their bodies and formed a closed light halo that refracted light into the void of s.p.a.ce.
Looking at the pillar of eerie violet light, Kitty commented: “Bro, it’s that infamous soul curse”
Without even waiting for Barry to talk, the leader of the group spoke: “Barry, we’re no match for you, but know this, you will never be able to go against our G.o.d”
“Your ‘G.o.d’ only lived for a single second” Barry scoffed.
This apparently angered the man.
“Barry, you might be strong, but can you really protect this place forever?”
“Do you see this glorious violet light? With it, we are afraid of nothing!”
The leader flashed them a frenzied smile and continued: “Kill us then! The next time we resurrect, we will bring even more people here to take our revenge!”
This caused everyone there to go silent.
Barry scowled.
It was clear that even he felt this to be troublesome.
“I want to ask something, he said ‘resurrect’—– does that mean they can keep on living even after death?” Zhang Ying Hao asked in disbelief.
Kitty explained: “Correct, their souls have been cursed, even after death, their souls will return to a certain place, change into a different body and simply revive”
“It’s because of this revival ability that more and more people are wary of these maniacs in the 900 million World Layers”
Seeing how they’d stunned everyone, the group began to laugh triumphantly.
Their leader looked to Gu Qing Shan and asked: “Just now, it seems you had said that you wanted to take revenge?”
“I did” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The leader stared at Gu Qing Shan and slowly told him: “We’re no match for someone of Barry’s level, but you aren’t the same, brat”
“This is the first time I’ve been threatened by someone who’s about to die” Gu Qing Shan smirked and commented.
The leader’s expression became dim: “I didn’t want to threaten you, because that would be thinking too highly of an ant, but you ruined our plan, so this is different”
“Ah? Then what was your plan?” Gu Qing Shan was still smirking.
The leader answered: “I’ve already noticed, in this world, apart from you, the others don’t seem to be able to leave”
Gu Qing Shan’s smile froze.
He immediately understood that they were trying to say.
Sure enough, the leader continued: “You simply don’t get it, Barry won’t be able to keep protecting this world forever. One day, we will kill everyone in this world and take their souls away—– surely, one of those must be someone you care about”
“You will forever regret ever offending our G.o.d Inst.i.tute”
“And you, Barry, soon enough, you will realize, simply being strong will do you no good in front of our G.o.d. We will have you taste the despair and pain of being powerless!”
Barry sneered and raised his fist: “Then I will watch over this world every single moment of every single day, but you trash will die before that——–”
When he was about to strike them, Gu Qing Shan stopped him.
“Very few people have used this world to threaten me” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get rid of them in one hit” Barry told him.
“If they can resurrect, doing that won’t do any good. Let’s wait a bit, I need to confirm something first” Gu Qing Shan said.
Barry then stopped.
The leader laughed maniacally: “We aren’t even afraid of death, we can return here an infinite amount of times, even if we’re discovered by Barry every time, we can always ma.s.sacre part of the world before then, that’s more than enough to bring this world to ruin”
Gu Qing Shan ignored him.
“Shannu” he called out.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword appeared and turned into a blue-dress girl.
“I’m here, gongzi”
“I have a question”
“Go ahead and ask”
Gu Qing Shan looked at Shannu and said nothing.
Everyone waited, then realized that he was communicating with the sword spirit telepathically.
A few moments later, Shannu looked at Gu Qing Shan and nodded.
Gu Qing Shan then told Ye Fei Li: “I need the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook”
Next to Ye Fei Li, the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook appeared.
“I’m here, Gu Qing Shan, what’s the problem?” it asked.
“Shannu said you’re able to capture a person’s soul?”
“There’s a saying, ‘As you enter Forgetting River, your past is gone’, I’m the manifestation of the Forgetting River, so naturally I can easily do that much”
“Then there’s no problem”
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
As soon as he said that.
In that split second, Shannu disappeared, Gu Qing Shan took the Six Paths Great Mountain sword in hand and pointed it straight at the people from G.o.d Inst.i.tute.
Secret Art, [Water Flow Severance]!
With Gu Qing Shan’s current strength, performing this Secret Art at full power made for a very powerful attack.
The Inst.i.tute group was already perfectly trapped by Kitty without even being able to retaliate, their defensive capabilities were also stripped to nothing, they couldn’t even move a finger right now.
The sword phantoms easily struck them head-on.
The glittering attack ripped their bodies to shreds.
From the very start of this, the leader had already noticed his death has come.
“We’re leaving”
He calmly declared.
Hoh——
Intense sword-infused wind howled.
The G.o.d Inst.i.tute members were slaughtered by Gu Qing Shan.
But the violet light grew more intense as it heavily struck the void of s.p.a.ce.
The group’s figures appeared inside the violet pillar of light.
They looked down on Gu Qing Shan as they were swept away by the violet light.
“Souls!” Kitty grunted.
She quickly waved her hands, manipulating countless waves of Spatial power, but had to give up in the end.
“It’s no good, I don’t understand this soul magic, I can’t stop them” she muttered.
The violet light shot straight up to the sky, forming a blinding pillar of light.
It was clear that a split second later, this pillar would carry the souls and even the scattered body pieces away from this world through the void of s.p.a.ce!
Gu Qing Shan leapt up the sky.
“Shannu!”
“I’m ready!” Shannu replied.
Preparing to activate his attack, Gu Qing Shan moved closer and closer to the violet pillar of light.
In a flash.
Gu Qing Shan had already arrived next to the violet pillar.
He attacked!
Like a moving arc of lightning, his sword swung multiple times in a single second, all striking the violet pillar.
Secret Art, [Crescent Slash] x12!
Several huge light-blue sword phantoms manifested in the air, all trying to slash through the violet pillar.
“Break!” Gu Qing Shan shouted.
He swung with all his might.
A single gigantic crescent moon appeared in the sky.
The crescent moon crashed into the violet pillar of light.
Oom———
The pillar was broken apart!
The violet light shattered—— the soul magic was destroyed!
Kitty stared at the sword in Gu Qing Shan’s hand in shock: “Anti-magic? Or Magic-break?”
Gu Qing Shan put the sword away and immediately called out to the sky: “Come!”
A khopesh that gave off a yellow-grey air soared to the sky.
The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook!
When it reached a certain place in the sky, it stabbed into the void of s.p.a.ce.
A few faint figures were squarely caught on the hooks.
[Soul Capture]!
This was the Forgetting River’s ability to attract and summon souls of the dead, manifesting itself on the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook!
The faint figures did everything they could to struggle but were unable to escape the khopesh’s grasp.
The khopesh pulled those souls to where Gu Qing Shan was.
“I will now lead them into Huang Quan realm, are you ready?” the khopesh asked.
“Don’t worry, just lead them away and leave everything after that to me” Gu Qing Shan nodded.
“Very well”
The Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook faded into the void of s.p.a.ce together with those souls.
After the Huang Quan realm and human realm fused, the only thing separating them now was the great Forgetting River.
And the Forgetting River Soul Separating Hook had the ability to directly disappear into the void of s.p.a.ce to return to the Forgetting River.
Gu Qing Shan landed.
Kitty stared at him and asked: “Just now, that was a Divine Armament manifestation of the Laws of Huang Quan? It was the one that took the souls away?”
“Yes” Gu Qing Shan answered.
Kitty sighed: “I really didn’t think that the Laws of Huang Quan would be so powerful, even that monster’s soul-guidance magic could be cut off like that”
Barry asked: “If those people were brought to Huang Quan, wouldn’t that mean they will reincarnate in this world later on?”
“No, they won’t reincarnate” Gu Qing Shan answered.
“Why not? If I remember correctly, the Law of the Samsara world dictates that the souls of the dead will be guided to Huang Quan and be reborn within the cycle of reincarnation, doesn’t it?” Kitty doubtfully asked.
“Because they p.i.s.sed me off” Gu Qing Shan replied.
He reached his hand into the void of s.p.a.ce.
And took out the Devil King Warden Rod.
