Gu Qing Shan narrowed his eyes, then glanced through all the dead people standing in the River of Death.
Their killing intent had risen to their very limits.
This was the sign of being ready to attack at any moment.
It seemed like these dead people had already decided on their stance of being on the side of Apocalypse, so they wouldn’t bother themselves by listening to Gu Qing Shan.
But that was nothing too significant, so Gu Qing Shan was focused on the other ‘him’.
This is an Apocalyptic shadow that replicated a lot of my abilities.
This guy is very troublesome.
——-I need to get rid of him first.
Better yet, I need to make sure that he won’t get a chance to act at all!
Gu Qing Shan’s killing intent was boiling, but he showed nothing on his expression and spoke to the replica: “Hey, did you really think you can win against me just because you’re my replica?”
Dragon Hex!
The replica scoffed at him, then replied: “Gu Qing Shan, you’re going to die here today, do you believe that?”
—–done!
Both of them had called out the other person, this was the Azure Dragon Hex.
Both of them had also been called by the other person——-
That was the Red Dragon Hex!
While neither of them responded, being silent itself was an answer.
Dragon Hexes were simply unreasonable!
——-currently, neither of them were able to move or attack the other party.
Gu Qing Shan tried and found out that he truly couldn’t move, so his killing intent became stronger by 30%.
The others didn’t notice anything, but Dead Fatty saw it all very clearly.
He raised a signboard:
[Brother Gu, why did you let a Dragon Hex leak, that’s extremely not good!]
Gu Qing Shan glanced at him.
Far above the sky, a sharp metallic howl abruptly resounded.
Gu Qing Shan had used his thoughts to manifest a sword seal and activated it.
The situation instantly changed——-
A frigid streak of light shot across an extremely long distance and instantly arrived, piercing through the replica Gu Qing Shan.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword!
The sword contained so much force that it pulled the replica with it, pinning him on the black wall.
The replica opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Qing Shan in confusion.
[You’ve clearly been affected by the Dragon hex—– how—–] he tried asking.
Oong!!!
The flying sword appeared to be extremely angry and uttered a sharp howl as it shook inside replica Gu Qing Shan’s chest, unleashing numerous black sword images.
A mass of blood splattered everywhere as the sword-infused wind slowly turned transparent before disappearing completely.
The replica Gu Qing Shan was swiftly eliminated and was gone completely.
The Dragon Hex that was affecting Gu Qing Shan was also instantly dispelled.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword then happily flew back and hovered next to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the scattering mass of blood and simply answered: “Just because you can’t swing your sword doesn’t mean I can’t swing my sword”
Shannu’s voice sounded in his mind:
“Gongzi, I’ve saved that individual and placed them in a safe location”
“You’ve done well” Gu Qing Shan replied.
——I’ve now completed the first mission.
Now I need to think of a way to head towards the Northwest to look for the part of the frozen corpse that’s been hidden there.
However, under the current circumstances, if I let that glowing cloaked skeleton discover that the frozen corpse’s part was hidden inside the Doomsday Necropolis, it would definitely summon every type of Apocalypse imaginable in order to retrieve the frozen corpse.
Gu Qing Shan turned to the glowing cloaked skeleton.
It had raised its bone scepter at him and shouted: [Atley, the plan cannot be delayed any longer, kill this Death God now!]
Atley waved his hand and ordered: “All dead people, charge! Kill him!”
The dead all gathered their strength to attack———
But they all found themselves restrained in place, unable to move.
Azure Dragon Origin Hex – Binding!
The speech that Gu Qing Shan had delivered successfully restrained them all.
[It’s fine, I will deal with the Dragon Hex] the glowing cloaked skeleton declared.
It stamped the bone scepter on the ground with considerable force.
Fwaaaa——-
A layer of white flames spread from the bottom of the scepter and quickly enveloped the army of the dead.
The dead army swiftly regained their mobility.
Roar!!!
They swung their weapons and rushed towards Gu Qing Shan.
Standing on top of the replica Death Dragon, Atley shouted: “River of Death, manifest yourself in the Realm of Life and conquer the living!”
Bho bho bho bhoo———
The dark river started spreading even faster, turning every bit of land it touched into mud before dissolving them in the intense surging flow.
The River of Death’s water was rapidly expanding in every direction, quickly turning an entire area of the Doomsday Necropolis into a dark ocean.
More and more dead people emerged from inside the river.
They all raised their weapons at Gu Qing Shan.
In just a few seconds.
From above there was nothing below except a violently surging dark river with the dead taking up every inch of it.
The encirclement had been completed!
Dead Fatty was now very nervous.
This place has been sealed, so we can’t leave.
The dead cannot be killed.
If the Death God and Death Dragon were to be killed by a bunch of dead people, that’ll be a joke for thousands of years to come.
If we run——-
The Desolate Sacrifice world is rapidly being converted into the River of Death, where else would we be able to run?
He turned to Gu Qing Shan’s side.
There’s only a small number of skeletons in front of him.
These skeletons are the lowest entities within the River of Death, what can they do?
[Brother Gu, hurry up and summon some more people]
Dead Fatty hurriedly raised his signboard.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “My power of Death had certainly grown unprecedentedly powerful, but the Apocalypse seems to have corroded the dead and turned them into half-Apocalypse, half-dead entities. I can’t summon them that way”
[In other words, we only have these skeletons?] Dead Fatty raised another signboard.
“Right” Gu Qing Shan confirmed.
Dead Fatty felt stunned and a bit desperate.
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze slowly became cold as he watched the approaching dead army, continuing: “Dead Fatty, we need to work together and fight in order to hope to survive this”
Dead Fatty clenched his teeth and quickly wrote another signboard: [I’ve killed these things for several days in a row in the River of Death already. While I can easily absorb this garbage’s power to make myself not tired, I’m already so sick of them that I can’t even vomit——- how about this, I’ll use my Dragon Hex; Brother Gu, you peh peh peh]
Gu Qing Shan was a bit stunned, then realized that he was referring to a dragon’s breath.
Wait a minute, a Death Dragon can easily absorb the power of others?
That kind of Dragon Hex——
In an instant, Gu Qing Shan thought of an idea.
He quickly asked: “Dead Fatty, we’re going to be fighting for our lives, hurry and tell me, what can your Dragon Hex do?”
Dead Fatty thought briefly before agreeing with him and pulled out a small piece of paper from his chest, silently shoving it into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.
Gu Qing Shan read it and saw a few lines on the piece of paper:
[Attention: Burn this after you’re done reading]
[The Death Dragon Hex can absorb one thing that I chose from the enemy—— life force, mana, power, blood, wisdom, spirit energy, prayers, etc. It’ll take effect as soon as I speak, but I can only absorb one thing per day]
[I can use this power myself, or bestow it to a comrade]
Gu Qing Shan quickly read through every word and instantly burnt the paper.
The dead were charging at them from every direction.
The encirclement was getting smaller.
Gu Qing Shan ignored them all and asked with a heavy tone: “Have you chosen what kind of power you would absorb today?”
Dead Fatty shook his head.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “Good, then choose Prayers, when I give you the signal, use your Dragon Hex and help me replenish Prayers”
[But how exactly are we going to fight?] Dead Fatty raised the signboard to ask.
“I’ll go first”
After saying that, Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and shifted into a pose.
Immediately, the skeletons that were standing in formation earlier retreated, let go of their weapons, and stood around him.
The skeletons also shifted into the same dancing pose.
While being surrounded by millions, they were preparing to dance.
A second later.
A faint female humming could be heard.
The gentle sound of a flute slowly spread all over.
The atmosphere was silently changing.
A hoarse female voice suddenly sounded in Gu Qing Shan’s ears: 「 You’ve only done a single warm-up practice session and you’re attempting to perform the official Dance already, isn’t that too impatient? 」
Gu Qing Shan lightly shrugged and replied: “I have a new dance idea that I’d like to try”
「 Oh? Then I’ll be waiting with bated breaths 」
The hoarse female voice said with interest before slowly going silent.
Tuuuu~~
The charming sound of a flute manifested out of nowhere.
Followed by the tune of a piano.
A graceful female humming voice drifted through the air.
Suddenly.
The sound of drumming resounded.
Doong! Doong! Doong!
Thump thump tss! Thump thump tss!
A trumpet echoed———-
Pu——- pupuuuu————
Someone was loudly singing: “Su Wei Su Wei Su Wei Su Wei![1]”
A resounding beat had suddenly manifested.
The skeletons stood with their bones straight up, put their hands together in the air, then began to rapidly shake their hip bones.
The Sacrificial Dance, begin!
Gu Qing Shan followed the music and raised his hand to beckon towards the wave of dead people charging at him from the front.
Cla cla clag clak clag——–
The attacking dead people that he beckoned at suddenly let go of their weapons and rolled all over the ground. The flesh and skin that was still left on their bodies were suddenly stripped away, leaving only their bones behind.
They were all prostrating on the ground to repent.
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze flickered and shouted: “Convert!”
In the void of space, lines of glowing text were rapidly scrolling in front of his eyes.
[You are the head priest of this Deathmatch Dance]
[You’ve fully grasped the power of world jurisdiction]
[You are converting the world jurisdiction of the dead that you’ve chosen]
[All the chosen dead have been converted to the Samsara world jurisdiction]
Gu Qing Shan smirked.
He stabbed a jet-black scepter casually into the ground.
On top of the scepter, the one-horned skull’s eye sockets were giving off a bright red glow.
“Dead Fatty, you’re up!”
Gu Qing Shan performed a short tap dance and whispered.
Dead Fatty was currently standing still with a signboard that says […] in his hand, his eyes opened wide, completely unable to comprehend what was happening.
“Dead Fatty!” Gu Qing Shan shouted out loud.
Dead Fatty then suddenly snapped out of it.
He threw the signboard on the ground and laughed: “As expected of someone chosen by the Dragon Ancestor, you’re really different”
A dark grey aura began to spread from his body.
Fwoom!
Dead Fatty shot into the sky and transformed into a dragon that was hundreds of meters in length.
The dragon ascended and swirled around among the clouds.
His vertical irises looked down on the boundless River of Death with a merciless and indifferent expression.
Suddenly, it uttered a single word that resounded throughout this entire area:
「 YO———-」
