Chapter 425: Haze and Soft Note
Not to far from there, Anna silent watched as all this happened.
At some unknown moment, she had already turned around without a sound.
Black Hound asked: “Just now, you clearly were about to attack, why did you stop?”
Anna lowered her head: “They were her final moments, I couldn’t do it”
The corners of her eyes were a bit red.
The female Asura already left.
More and more dead entered the screen of light and left, following her.
Once all the dead people in the world were gone, the screen of light that stretched across the entire planet slowly pulled back up, disappearing into the sky.
Hell was now empty, quintillions of dead, all reincarnated.
“That was crazy wasn’t it?” Zhang Ying Hao couldn’t help but say.
“If being dead is that powerful, shouldn’t I have let my girlfriend go to Huang Quan? Did I actually harm her by making her stay in the human realm?” Ye Fei Li asked hesitantly.
“You actually saved her” Gu Qing Shan patted him on the shoulder, “when I went to Huang Quan, the entire tunnel entrance to Huang Quan was filled with demons, she would definitely not make it and be eaten by the demons instead”
“Not to mention, those dead people have just reincarnated —–when I connected to the people of the dead, I found out that the four tribes of Asura each have a world to themselves, each of them are as endlessly vast that no one has even found their borders”
“Heaven realm is even bigger than that, containing paths that lead to other worlds”
“Not to mention the Beast King and Demon realms, they also have their own secrets, but both of these worlds are full of killing and fighting, every new life that wants to grow, goes through too much cruelty and bloodshed for them to even recall”
Gu Qing Shan’s expression seemed lonely.
“That’s why once your girlfriend reincarnates, you probably won’t find her again —-do you want to see her leave?”
“No! Definitely not!”
Ye Fei Li instantly replied.
Hearing what Gu Qing Shan said, he was finally able to let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed a bit.
He stared at the void of space in front of the mansion.
The rest of the combatants here also noticed the distortion.
Everyone became cautious.
All of a sudden, a crack in space opened.
A blue-dress girl with an indifferent expression held the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and appeared in front of everyone.
Shannu.
“How was it?” Gu Qing Shan quickly asked.
“We saved her” Shannu answered.
Behind her, the black-robed man held a glowing card with both hands, softly landing on the ground.
It was Haze.
He was treating that card so carefully like it was the most precious thing in all the worlds.
In the card, a young girl wearing thick ground glasses was looking outside curiously.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: “Congratulations, you finally saved her”
Haze was very excited.
“There really was a hidden trigger for [Time Stanch] where Soft Note’s soul was being sealed”
“If it weren’t for your sword stopping a fatal attack, it wouldn’t have been this easy to rescue her”
“Now, I have to prepare something”
Saying so, Haze took out a card.
It was the only spatial coordinates card in the “Soft Note’s Salvation” card deck.
Haze threw the card out.
The card flashed and turned into a small white shining string, one end held in Haze’s hand while the other went into the void of space.
Haze tugged on his end of the string.
Very quickly, the other side also tugged back.
It was now that Haze finally calmed down.
He looked up at the sky, smiling.
“I didn’t think the end of the world would already be over, seems like my kingdom doesn’t have to enter this war”
“Gu Qing Shan, I have to say this, thank you very much for your help” he spoke seriously.
“No need to thank me, I’ve already gotten my payment, so this was a fair trade”
Gu Qing Shan raised the Devil King Warden Rod in his hand.
“No, you did not have to have your sword help me, but you still did, so I still have to thank you” Haze said.
“Thank who?”
A dignified male voice came from the void of space.
Some distortion appeared where the white string entered the void of space.
Then a crack opened up where it was.
Rows of uniformed men holding card binders in their hands came out from the crack.
They were quick, silent and orderly, quickly went into formation as they appeared on the empty yard outside the mansion.
More and more men came out, filling up the road that led down the mountain.
After that, space started to shake even more.
Like something was trying to get into this world.
Haze smiled.
He raised his hand and threw the card that held Soft Note’s soul towards the crack.
After flying for a bit, a hand came out from the crack and caught it.
Sensing something, Soft Note smiled.
Another black-robed man came out from the void of space.
He looked exactly like Haze.
But he was older, and appeared much more mature.
Rubbing his beard, he appeared dignified.
“Finally, I saved you, Soft Note” the man said.
Soft Note bowed down and curtsied, smiling as she spoke: “Thank you, my king”
On the other side, Haze nodded at Gu Qing Shan before flying towards the man.
On the way, his body started to become faint.
When the dignified man saw him coming over, he sighed: “Finally, my soul can be whole once again, no need for me to experience the same searing pain day and night”
Haze slowly went into the dignified man’s body.
Such a miraculous sight caused Zhang Ying Hao, Ye Fei Li and the rest of them to open their eyes wide.
The dignified man closed his eyes.
After a few moments, his scowl went away as his expression relaxed.
The dignified man appeared much more spirited, like someone who had been suffering from a disease for a long time that was finally cured.
He muses: “So that is what”
Looking at Gu Qing Shan, the man appeared grateful.
“Let me introduce myself again, I am the Emperor of Sky Haze kingdom, Hazeden”
“Haze came from your soul?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“That is correct, he is me, and I am him”
Hazeden continued: “Thank you, sword cultivator of the Samsara world, if it weren’t for you, my queen wouldn’t have been rescued”
“There is no need to be so formal, you’ve helped me a lot, I’m only repaying it” Gu Qing Shan answered.
“Now, I’ll be taking a ‘god’ from your world —-that is, if you don’t mind” Hazeden spoke.
“Who?”
“The red-robed Demi”
“Be my guest”
“Thank you, the Great Ghost General couldn’t kill him, so I’ll be taking revenge for my queen”
Saying so, Hazeden took out a golden scepter that shined in all the colors of the spectrum.
Waving it, he muttered: “Barrier appear”
13 red glowing figures appeared in midair.
They were the 13 skeletons’ shadows.
They’ve completely surrounded a certain part of space, circling it while releasing the red light.
Inside the area of the red light, the Great Ghost General and the red-robed old man could be seen locked in combat, moving back and forth.
The Asura King stood at the end, maintaining the Barrier of Retribution as well as the movements of the 13 skeletons with one hand.
As for the other hand, he was holding a Blade, occasionally attacking with it when given the chance.
Looking at the red-robed Demi, Soft Note had nothing but hatred in her eyes.
“Your Majesty, please avenge me” Soft Note said.
“Don’t worry”
Saying so, Hazeden waved his hand.
72 card users all brought their card binders and stood surrounding the red barrier.
They all took out a card from their binders, aiming for the barrier.
But all their cards had the exact same pattern on them.
A metal giant who stood in an empty plain.
An unbelievably giant hand reached down from above, grabbing the giant.
No matter how much the giant tried to struggle, it couldn’t escape.
The card users flicked their wrists.
72 copies of the same card flew out at once and disappeared.
In the barrier, the Heavenly God’s movements suddenly stopped.
A shining hand reached down from above, grabbing the Heavenly God.
He tried his best to struggle.
Roaring in fury, he used everything he could, even the red barrier was shaking from his might.
But the shining hand caught him all the same.
This was the 9th rank large-scaled card of Sky Haze kingdom’s War Deck—–[Dimension Seeker].
Its ability is to surpass the limits of space to catch a determined target.
The more powerful the target, the more [Dimension Seeker] cards are required to lock onto them.
On another side, 12 card users drew the same copy of another card and threw it into the air.
12 cards disappeared.
Space was broken open.
—–like a hole in the wall, everyone here was able to see what was on the other side.
A magnificent palace.
On the high throne at the top, numerous golden cards were attached.
Over a dozen differently-dressed card users were looking to this side.
“Do it” Hazeden casually ordered.
Receiving their orders, the card users on the other side drew their own cards to form a chain of shackles.
This chain quickly wrapped around the Barrier of Retribution.
The glowing barrier of red was quickly pulled into the other world.
The legion of card user soldiers on the mountain orderly followed the chains and barrier back into their own world.
The only person left here was Hazeden, as well as Soft Note’s soul in the card on his hand.
“What are you going to do to him now?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“I still haven’t thought of that yet” Hazeden wondered, “he imprisoned Soft Note for 10,000 years, so I have to think of several ways to ease Soft Note’s inner pain first”
He then looked at Gu Qing Shan: “But before that, I should be thinking of how to repay you for helping me at the final and most crucial moment”
