Apocalypse Online For All Worlds - Chapter 55

Leng Tianxing was behind him shooting techniques out to make sure all the demons behind him turned to ice.

As for the demons coming from the front, Gu Qingshan sent them flying out as pieces of flesh and blood as his sword shone brightly.

The two of them managed to advance several meters through the sea of demons.

Leng Tianxing suddenly said in a hoarse voice, “I can still hold on for only another ten breaths.”

Gu Qingshan looked back quickly and saw that countless demons had come to their senses and they were rushing toward where they were.

There were so many demons coming at the same time, and they were all at Foundation Building stage and even Initial Golden Core stage. Leng Tianxing would definitely be unable to kill them with his techniques, and he couldn’t finish killing them off either. Soon enough, he wouldn’t be able to shoot them fast enough.

At this rate, Leng Tianxing was going to die!

If he died, Gu Qingshan wouldn’t be able to get to the safe place all by himself.

“Do you have any amulets?” Gu Qingshan suddenly asked after thinking through the situation quickly.

“Yes, but I’ve used some, and I don’t have many left,” replied Leng Tianxing.

“You go in front, save your Spirit Power, and use amulets to fight the demons. It’ll be enough to clear the way; whether the demons die or not doesn’t matter,” instructed Gu Qingshan.

“You’ll cover the back?” asked Leng Tianxing.

“Yup, I’ll do it,” replied Gu Qingshan.

“…all right, then.”

Leng Tianxing looked at him intensely.

In such a dire situation, if they didn’t reach a safe place soon, the person covering the back was definitely going to die first.

Leng Tianxing saw Gu Qingshan in a different light when Gu Qingshan did this.

Now he really treated Gu Qingshan as a comrade in battle.

“Get ready.”

Gu Qingshan said this while he started removing his armor.

He pulled his vanguard battalion armor off, raised his hand, and flung it hard into the sea of demons.

These demons were hungry for fresh blood and flesh and weren’t deterred by Leng Tianxing’s attacks and blasts. On the contrary, they kept getting closer.

But the moment this stinky armor that was covered with that gooey liquid came flying over, the demons immediately covered their noses and started running away.

It was really too smelly. Even Leng Tianxing, who always looked cold and distant, had used his Spirit Power to cover his nostrils and his pores so that he wouldn’t faint from the smell.

“Change place.”

Gu Qingshan gave a low shout, and they switched places quickly.

Leng Tianxing pulled out a small stack of amulets. He threw them one piece at a time and sent all the demons ahead flying.

This method didn’t require any technique and only required a very small amount of Spirit Power. It could attack demons very quickly and efficiently. The only problem was how many amulets he had on hand.

But Leng Tianxing didn’t have to be stingy about it. His entire team had died except for the two of them, and the situation was very desperate, so he just pulled the entire stack out.

During this time when the demons had retreated from the stench, the two of them had not only changed places but had also advanced another few meters.

“Can’t believe this stench is really useful,” said Leng Tianxing thoughtfully.

If he had gone along with Gu Qingshan and rubbed the smelly secretion of the Carrion Devouring Demon on himself…

“You regret it now?” asked Gu Qingshan.

“No, never.” Leng Tianxing’s face paled.

The two of them went as fast as they could.

As they went farther and farther away, the smell from that armor slowly faded, and soon they couldn’t smell it anymore.

Soon enough, the demons started chasing them like crazy again.

“Mountain Split!”

Gu Qingshan yelled as he held his sword with both hands and pushed a tremendous amount of force downwards.

The sword came down.

BOOOM… SHAAAA!

Those demons that came into contact with the sword became a bunch of limbs and rolled back from the impact of the powerful force.

The demons behind were hit by all the flying carcasses.

Mountain Split was a heavy and forceful move. Each swing of the sword increased its power by a hundred or a thousand times, and the enemy would suffer great losses if they were not prepared for such an attack.

But the execution of this technique was very slow, so most people could dodge it.

Most sword cultivators could not use this sort of technique that had such major loopholes in it.

Only the dumbest ones and the cleverest ones would dare to use this sword technique.

The long sword swooshed mercilessly, and every attack was so forceful that there was a white mist around it. The sword continued to send demons flying out all over the place.

One swing of the sword could send a whole group flying, and each swing made the situation slightly less dangerous.

The two of them were like the only trees standing in the midst of a storm and were trying to hold their ground as the wind and rain beat on them. They were constantly on the verge of being swallowed up by the demons.

Gu Qingshan decided quickly not to even bother with other moves and used Mountain Split to its maximum.

Under the current circumstances, since the demons were rushing forward like the sea, this move didn’t require him to think about any attack strategy or dodge them. One swing could wipe out a whole bunch of them.

The power of the sword technique Mountain Split had been used to its maximum strength by Gu Qingshan.

“Don’t fall too far behind,” yelled Leng Tianxing.

“Coming!” Gu Qingshan swung his sword one more time and quickly ran ahead without trying to fight any more demons.

Between the two of them, one was trying to defend against the huge groups of demons chasing behind them, while the other one was helping to lead the way and moving at high speed.

But the number of demons chasing them was simply too many. When they all made an attack at the same time, there were times where Gu Qingshan could not defend against all of them since he was the only one covering the back.

In no time, Gu Qingshan was covered with blood just like how Wu Jin and Ma Liu were before this.

Gu Qingshan quietly endured the pain and continued to swing his sword.

“Mountain Split!” he yelled in a low voice.

His sword was like a mountain that crushed the demons.

This was a matter of life and death, and he couldn’t shrink back now.

Many demons attacked him, and Gu Qingshan couldn’t defend against all of them anymore. He only defended himself if the attack could prove fatal.

After some time, the two of them had managed to get through a fair bit of distance.

Their destination was finally just ahead of them.

Gu Qingshan’s body was a bloody mess of wounds. There were many areas that had been bitten off or scratched by demons, and he was bleeding all over.

He had more and more of these injuries, and it was like a slow death.

But Gu Qingshan remained calm and composed. His long sword continued to swing and make its attack as if he wasn’t affected at all.

Leng Tianxing scanned the place with his Spirit Sense and became very excited.

After five breaths, Gu Qingshan suddenly asked, “How long more do we have to go?”

“Last thirty meters. I see the cave!” Leng Tianxing was getting anxious too.

“All right.”

Gu Qingshan had been waiting for this moment.

He turned his body slightly, held the sword with both hands, pointed the tip toward the sea of demons coming for him, and yelled in a low voice.

“Secret technique!”

In an instant, Spirit Power rushed out from his dantian and flowed through his arms and into the long sword.

The long sword resonated with a buzzing sound.

Gu Qingshan had accurately calculated his own Spirit Power and had been saving it for this moment.

His Spirit Power was just enough to execute this secret sword technique.

Leng Tianxing’s pupils narrowed instantly when he saw this.

He was certainly able to tell that this sword technique was really powerful.

But what sword technique was this? He had never seen it before.

Leng Tianxing searched his memories, but this stance didn’t match any of the sword techniques he had in his memory.

Was it a sword technique that was taught only in secret?

The Magical Power of sword cultivation wasn’t something that everyone could grasp.

Leng Tianxing was shocked and had to suppress the urge to look behind him. He only used his Spirit Sense to keep an eye on Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan had gathered the maximum momentum his body could.

The Cavalry Regiment sword started to buzz very loudly, then suddenly fell silent.

There was a tremendous amount of killing intent surrounding the long sword, and it made one become fearful.

“I’m right, it’s a secret technique. He actually knows a secret sword technique!” said Leng Tianxing excitedly to himself.

The last bit of pride he had also disappeared when faced with this technique.

The demons facing Gu Qingshan were coming in huge waves, and some of the demons behind became impatient and actually started stepping on the other demons in front in order to pounce ahead.

The demons started stacking themselves up into a huge wall that was several meters high and threatened to collapse on the two of them.

“Watercut!”

Gu Qingshan let out a shout and stabbed the long knife forward.

If you could watch this scene in slow motion, you would have noticed that the gleam around the Cavalry Regiment sword was in bunches.

But in an instant, this gleam suddenly became like waters breaking through a dam, rushing out powerfully.

Cracks started appearing on the sword as it endured this tremendous amount of force.

The countless cracks became longer and longer and filled the entire sword.

In the moment before the long sword exploded.

Everything was silent.

Suddenly.

It was as if a giant from the Primitive Times had started hitting a war drum.

DONG! DONG! DONG! DONG! DONG!

The blinding flash of the sword suddenly burst out from the tip of the Cavalry Regiment sword, shot out forward, and rang out with an ear-deafening blast.

The huge wall that the demons had created was suddenly blown apart, becoming like ash that quickly crumbled backward and floated away.

The entire sea of demons was suddenly gone, and the land was empty as if it was a desert.

The ground was covered with nothing but broken limbs, and there was a terrible smell of blood in the air.

All the demons standing far off were filled with horror and weren’t sure what to do. They stood at the edge of the area that had exploded and didn’t dare to move even half a step forward.

This one move was enough to change the course of a river or even to stop a river from flowing.

This incredible power was called Watercut!

BOOM.

There was a soft explosion as the Cavalry Regiment sword was no longer able to hold up against the power of the secret technique. It immediately exploded into several fragments.

The only thing left in one good piece was the sword handle in Gu Qingshan’s hands.

Gu Qingshan clenched his teeth and was so disappointed inside.

It had been so hard for him to get hold of a sword, and it had been destroyed because he had to use a secret technique.

He had no choice but to throw the sword handle aside, then he quickly ran to the front.

Mountainous Impact!

Gu Qingshan dashed forward and helped to block a hungry demon from biting Leng Tianxing. He wrung its neck and broke it.

“Let’s go!” he yelled loudly.

“All right!”

Leng Tianxing knew that they had reached their last lap, so he suppressed the tremendous shock he felt in his heart as he sent the remaining amulets in his hand flying out as if they didn’t cost him anything.
