Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 65
Chapter 65: Rules
“Well done, if this Saint doesn’t ask then you don’t need to answer, that is exactly the rule of this Bai Hua Palace, you did quite well indeed ——–which sect are you from?”
“This humble one is a lone cultivator”
“Ah? You don’t seem like one, but since you’ve come here, what is your wish?”
Bai Hua Fairy leaned on her throne of flowers and questioned him.
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist, bow and answered: “This one only hope that the Saint would save the life of two people”
“Saving their lives? From disease or of old age?”
Bai Hua Fairy nonchalantly asked.
This type of matter is as simple as waving her hand, so as soon as she heard ‘saving lives’, she instinctively felt bored.
“It is neither, the frontline was in chaos due to a traitor, General Sun Zhi and Heaven’s Limit Saintess Ning Yue Chan are currently surrounded by demons on all sides and are about to die”
“They found the entrance to another world, which made the demons dispatch all their forces to take their lives”
“General Sun Zhi had gave me a way to escape, but without anywhere to call for help, I could only come here to attempt a list”
Bai Hua Fairy’s half-closed eyes suddenly opened, her posture became straight and her face became serious.
“Another world… and traitor?”
“What you said is true? Know this, if your words to this Saint contain any falsehood, you cannot handle the consequences” she spoke with a low voice.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “There is no falsehood”
“Do you have your badge with you?” Bai Hua Fairy asked.
“I do” Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused, why would she need to see my badge?
“Take it out” Bai Hua Fairy ordered.
“Yes”
Gu Qing Shan took off the bronze badge on his waist and presented it with both hands.
With a wave, Bai Hua Fairy had made the bronze badge fly across the palace and into her hand.
As Bai Hua Fairy infused it with her spirit energy, a light appeared on the badge to show a name.
[Vanguard legion, Gu Qing Shan]
The badge isn’t fake as it naturally carries a connection with this youth before her.
This is a serious matter, could it be true?
Bai Hua Fairy’s expression became dignified.
She pointed at the bronze badge and made it float in the air.
“Divine Skill ——–Truth From Spacetime!”
Bai Hua Fairy quickly made a set of hand signs.
Hooong!
A loud sound came from the air.
A large spirit light crashed into the void of space, breaking and turning it into a two-person tall black hole.
In the black hole, a few moving images were seen.
It was showing the past, the past of all creatures whose aura had ever come into contact with the badge.
In a mass grave, numerous bodies of dead soldiers emitted a dusty grey color.
Inside the outpost, Zhao Lu was seen, but a thick grey color of death had surrounded him, showing that he had entered reincarnation together with all the dead people in the mass grave.
A Faceless Giant.
The Human-faced Bird.
The Demon Snake.
….
Numerous faces appeared, and then Gong Sun Zhi and Ning Yue Chan also showed up.
Followed by Shen Wu world, along with the endless sea of demons.
Five cultivators were covered in a grey aura.
Only Leng Tian Xing still had a cold frosty blue aura.
After seeing that much, Bai Hua Fairy nodded: “Despite going through such a tough journey, you still made it to Bai Hua country and successfully attempted the sword list, you indeed are praiseworthy”
Gu Qing Shan once again spoke: “This one beg the Saint to save them”
Bai Hua Fairy replied: “Don’t mention that just yet, everything must be done by this Saint’s rules”
She was quickly counting something with her hands as a bright green aura danced around the tip of her fingers.
A few moments later, Bai Hua Fairy’s face relaxed and told him: “I’ve just made a divination, they will not die within the next 15 minutes”
One of the 6 arts, Divination!
Having lived 2 lives, this was the very first time that Gu Qing Shan had seen someone perform real divination.
Naturally he had also seen divination being performed in the past life, but it was always with a stooge, a trick to fool people.
The game described it very clearly, the hardest of the 6 arts was Divination.
But also because of that, numerous players became con artists in the world of cultivation.
There were even quite a few cultivators of this world who got fooled.
While Gu Qing Shan was in thought, Bai Hua Fairy once again spoke.
“Even though you attempted the sword list, you’ve yet to use a single sword skill in the green jade screen, this do not fit my rules”
“Successfully attempted the sword list without using a sword, if everyone does things like this, wouldn’t my Bai Hua lists become a total joke for people to fool around with?”
“Because of that, I can’t consider you to have fully completed the sword list”
She clapped her hands and summoned two maids who appeared without a sound.
“These are two of my sword maidens, I will limit their cultivation to Qi Training stage 7, you have one chance to battle them”
“Within 15 minutes, if you can’t defeat them, this Saint shall consider you to have failed the sword list”
“If that’s the case, this Saint shall take the information you gave to the frontline and let them deal with it, this Saint herself shall not act”
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly: “But the cultivators on the frontlines might not be able to save them”
Bai Hua Fairy frowned and said: “If you want this Saint to do anything for you, you must successfully attempt a Bai Hua list, this is a rule, and no one can ever change it”
As soon as she said that, the two sword maiden had stepped forward, bowed and took out their swords.
Gu Qing Shan quickly counted the time, noticing that it was already almost half a day since the time he left Ning Yue Chan and Gong Sun Zhi.
In order words, the 10-trigram Sealing formation on Gong Sun Zhi’s body was about to reach its limit.
He grabbed the air and held a steel sword in his hand.
Bai Hua Fairy is an unpredictable person; she has her own set of rules that no one can ever change.
If you don’t follow her rules, if you can’t satisfy her, then even if the sky itself is falling, she won’t lift a finger to help you.
He can’t help it; he’ll just have to do his best.
“Please” Gu Qing Shan breathed in, held his sword up and said.
The two sword maiden looked at each other, swung their swords and attacked.
One of the swords was long while the other was short; one of them was fast and the oher was slow. They covered for each other’s weak points, weaving strike after strike to reach Gu Qing Shan in a matter of seconds.
This type of combination, this type of swordplay, there was no imagination, no flashiness and definitely no justice, everything is for the sake of taking the enemy’s life, swordplay that can be described as extremely efficient.
With how well they complemented each other, you could even say that it was the same person using two sword styles.
“Good”
Gu Qing Shan praised them.
Then his sword also moved.
Clang! Clang!
Two consecutive sounds.
The two sword maiden stepped back a few feet, surprised.
“Wind Slash?”
“No, Kai Shan”
They hesitated, unable to determine the truth.
Gu Qing Shan quickly pursued, the sword in his hand looked slow but it was very quick, striking several times in a row.
The two sword maidens blocked them all and were forced back 7-8 more feet.
“This is Wind Cutting Consecutive Slashes!”
“No, it’s Kai Shan Sword Hammer!”
The two of them opened their mouths at the same time.
They silently fixed their styles, wanting to attack, but their combination was no longer perfect.
As the sword flashes before their eyes, the two of them wanted to block, but only felt an impact on their hands as their swords were knocked away, flying to the other end of the palace.
A voice lightly commented from atop the throne.
“Sword styles weaving and naturally shifting between one another”
Bai Hua Fairy seemed to be in full excitement, smiled and said: “No wonder the two of you lost, this was a style mixed between the Wind Slash true attainment and Kai Shan true attainment, only someone who’ve perfected both of these styles would be able to do something like that”
Seeing her like that, you’d think she doesn’t care at all about Gong Sun Zhi and Ning Yue Chan’s lives.
Even the fact that there’s a traitor in humanity’s top brass, and the fact that Shen Wu world existed couldn’t even make a ripple in her mood.
