I cannot do anything”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following her voice, the monsters noticed the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly encircled them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the large piles of corpses also started to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took quite a bit of time to spread such a large amount of corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This couldn’t be helped, as [Kindling] intended to push this many monsters out to kill as many people as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who entered this place did not expect the call of the Bramble Birds to be a cruel battle of life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those lucky enough to survive didn’t think too much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because according to the rules, those who died should’ve been returned to Aboul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humanoid monsters that crawled out from the ground were attacking them from all angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attached at every part of their joints were long sharp blades that were covered in blood and bits of flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While still several meters away, the monsters leapt towards Gu Qing Shan and Laura from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stood still as he swung the Earth sword to form a blooming flower of sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless sword phantoms flew from the sword, slashing at the monsters in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their blood was spilled and scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not good, there are too many”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura looked around as she anxiously called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, more and more monsters were crawling out from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The piles of corpses were also slowly starting to spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dead bodies staggered as they mixed in with the horde of monsters and rushed towards Gu Qing Shan and Laura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city originally covered in white snow was slowly being occupied by a torrent of black monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s quite a few of them, no wonder this test is called Surrounded” Gu Qing Shan mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently thought to himself, since this is a test of strength, flying away to escape would definitely not be allowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quickly think of something! It will be over if we are surrounded” Laura called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan let go of the Earth sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only said that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth sword flew out, drawing a beautiful arc around Gu Qing Shan’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold blue phantom formed a crescent moon, quickly expanded to bisect every monster on its way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret Art, [Crescent Slash]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Qing Shan was now a Sainted realm sword cultivator, this Secret Art became even more powerful in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How beautiful, is this a flying sword technique?” Laura excitedly clapped her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From how she looked, you’d think she was admiring fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the monsters who managed to escape being bisected by the crescent moon all laid flat to the ground and started to eat the severed arms, legs and bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More monsters sprouted from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were competing with each other for the corpse parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more of them showed up as they ran faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few breaths, the horde of monsters had already devoured all the corpse parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of crunching bones and flesh resounded throughout the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those monsters who managed to devour a corpse part grew bigger, stronger and even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shriek again, quickly approaching Gu Qing Shan and Laura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From above, you could see torrents of black masses approaching from all sides, surrounding Gu Qing Shan and Laura without leaving a single gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was less and less space for them to stand, and they would soon be swallowed up by the tsunami-like horde of monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Breakthrough, Gu Qing Shan, this battle is testing our ability to breakthrough an encirclement!” Laura anxiously reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply formed a hand seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit energy in his Dantian flowed without end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since becoming a Sainted realm late stage cultivator, Gu Qing Shan hadn’t used his full power even once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His three swords appeared from the void of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first sword was ancient and mournful;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second sword had an unusual design, being a bit longer than normal;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third sword was as beautiful as the flow of water in autumn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go” Gu Qing Shan muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three swords disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They flew across the sky with unimaginable speed, leaving afterimages in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These afterimages did not move or faded away as they stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three swords sped up more and more until all that could be seen was a shadowy figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole abandoned city was now filled with countless sword afterimages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this happened so fast that the sword images were already in place when the monsters had only taken a few steps forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely, while these sword images were everywhere, the monsters were unhurt even when they dashed through them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this?” Laura asked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan exhaled and triggered the hand seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi Sword Array, activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint gust blew past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then more wind came from out of nowhere, building up bit by bit, slowly forming an intense wind storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing could stop the sweeping storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the monsters scattered like dust, the piles of corpses also disappeared as if they were silently erased, not knowing what happened before they died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The howling storm swept through ground, picking everything in the city up to the sky before blowing the thick black clouds above away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear blue sky showed itself above the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun was shining as warm sunlight peered below, shrouding the ground below in warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A miraculous scene was seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm sunlight filled the interior of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold chilling snow storm howled outside the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This miraculous sight lasted for several breaths before gradually disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the city buildings and walls were being blown away by the storm of wind as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city itself crumbled like dust as it was swept away, leaving nothing but a vast empty field of snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storm of wind stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black clouds gathered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heaven and earth returned to stifled silence and peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snowflakes began to gather and fell to the ground as snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now that Gu Qing Shan undid his hand seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura stood up from Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder, glancing around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——everything in her sight beside the accumulated snow and the ground itself disappeared together with the fierce storm of wind and sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a vast empty field with snow lightly falling down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city and monsters were all gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A clean shade of white” Laura sighed: “I did not expect you to work his hard”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was silently surprised, thinking that this ‘Gu Qing Shan’ person was quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One strike levelled an entire city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword skills of this level could easily get him into the list of top young Combatants of the 900 million World Layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Iron Fist Barry wanted to take him in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t have much time, I only wanted to finish the battle as fast as possible” Gu Qing Shan scowled and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind moved a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three flying swords returned, hovering in the air behind him without moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan spoke in annoyance: “That should be considered passing right? Why is nothing coming out to give me a grade yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura silently judged him and noticed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are worried about her?” Laura asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know what situation she’s in right now, or whether we’ll be able to catch up to her at this pace” Gu Qing Shan sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he really only wanted to save time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just what kind of girl is worth him treating this way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura was a bit curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at Gu Qing Shan a bit before abruptly asking: “Did you sleep together already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan found that a bit unexpected, but still answered: “Not yet”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That pure? How did you do it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does a little girl like you know”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan turned his face away, silently thinking about Su Xue Er’s kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, I could only pretend to sleep so I couldn’t even touch her if I wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that, he couldn’t help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the Earth sword said something to the other two swords as all three of them started to vibrate and rattle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1399,"2026-06-09T03:05:21.780Z",1,"novelbin.me","253901c10edf960e60b0113725dcecc4fd55373971c0a62587c63b07496e6a2c","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-531","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-529",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
