Worlds’ Apocalypse Online Chapter 248

Chapter 248 - Assassin

Edited by: VindiFan#1

Proofreader:  AryaRain of fire.

The rain of fire kept pelting the earth.

The ground endured it, but occasionally still rumbled from the impacts.

The demons who couldn’t get away would be burned to less than ash under the intense rain of fire.

They were scattered, running away from wherever the rain fell.

Different from the demons and beasts in the cultivation world, instead of being hostile and belligerent, these demons were constantly cautious, taking glances at the sky above.

This has become their second nature.

On a meadow, a human formation array.

The demons have temporarily retreated, allowing the cultivators to get a short period of rest.

At this time, a hole opened in the defensive formation.

The exhausted cultivators all got tense, ready to receive the enemy.

But the one they saw was a cultivator wearing golden armor and a silver mask.

This is the You Ji General signature armor set.

So it’s not a special demon, it’s a person on our side, everyone was able to sigh from relief.

General-ranked cultivators all have a special formation carved on their badges, allowing them to enter through defensive formations, getting in and out of the camps as they like.

“General, your badge please” one cultivator came up and said.

The general took out his badge and infused it with spirit energy.

The badge then let out an array of light, forming large letters in the air.

“You Ji General, Gu Qing Shan”

Seeing that, no matter how exhausted they were, each and every cultivator stood up and clasped their fists: “Welcome, General Gu”

This is a truly respectable person who decided the victory of an entire campaign by his own wits.

Gu Qing Shan nodded slightly to greet them back.

He took a look around this military camp.

There were a few formation users, the main fighting strength here are Elemental cultivators, there were also a few Martial cultivators, but they’re all more or less wounded.

Not too many people here, a typical temporary camp.

“Where’s your commanding officer?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“He lead a team out to rescue some people” a cultivator answered.

“Hm, I’ll rest here for a bit” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Please be our guest” they answered.

Gu Qing Shan said nothing else, found a clean place and sat down to meditate.

After resting here, he was planning to go straight to Gong Sun Zhi’s camp without stopping anywhere else.

With Gong Sun Zhi’s formations, he plans on breaking through to Golden Core realm to be stronger and deal with this war better.

About half an hour later.

He stood up, quickly walked to the West of the camp and silently looked outside.

The two guard cultivators here were a bit confused and asked: “General Gu, what are you looking for?”

“They’re here” Gu Qing Shan said.

They followed his sight.

A cloud of dust was being kicked up from a bit far outside the camp.

A cultivator was seen.

He was wearing a set of Zhao Wu Chaplain armor, one hand holding his bleeding stomach, the other carrying an unconscious cultivator, running here as fast as he could.

Countless demons were chasing behind him, almost like a surging wave.

“It’s Zhao Wu Li, he’s wounded!”

“The demons are coming, get ready!”

The two guard cultivators quickly shouted to the others.

The entire camp moved into action.

But the cultivators were panicking, they took up their weapons but didn’t quite know how to provide help.

The camp’s commander is still outside.

“We’ll go out first” the Martial cultivators volunteered.

“No, let us attack the demons first and create a chance for you to get close” an Elemental cultivator said.

While they were still arguing, a firm voice stopped all the confusion.

“Oy, I’m here, you guys don’t need to argue. I’ll give the orders!”

Everyone went silent.

When they looked back, they saw the one who spoke was Gu Qing Shan.

He’s a You Ji General.

His military rank is the highest.

Right, when the commander isn’t here, the highest ranking officer should be the one that gives the orders.

Everyone stopped panicking and looked at him.

Gu Qing Shan quickly delegated: “Ignore all the attack formations”

“Roger”

The cultivators in charge of them were a bit hesitant, but decided to just listen to orders.

At a time like this, disobeying orders is punishable by death via military laws.

“Direct all power to strengthen defenses”

“All formation users reinforce the formations”

“Roger”

“Elemental cultivators, line up in front, 5 per row. Elementalist officers take command, prepare your spells in order, you know what I mean”

“Roger”

“Martial cultivators will hear my command, everyone rush out when I raise my sword, rescue your commander and bring him back”

“Roger!”

All the cultivators prepared as ordered, but were still a bit unconvinced.

He said the Martial cultivators will follow the signal of his sword and dash out to rescue the commander.

But with so many demons, what method is there to bring their commander back with the least casualties?

The cultivators all kept their eyes peeled on Gu Qing Shan, preparing to see what he’d do.

Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan left only an afterimage and disappeared from their sight.

“Look, he’s over there!” one person shouted.

All the cultivators looked over.

They saw a streak of golden light rushing across the large meadow, charging straight into the group of demons.

“Die!”

He shouted with a booming voice as both his sword and himself turned into a giant crescent slash.

As the crescent-shaped sword phantom passed through, large amounts of demons got chopped to pieces as the stench of their flesh and blood got carried away by the wind.

The dozen or so demons that were the closest got cleanly bisected at their waist, letting out horrid cries before dying.

Gu Qing Shan reappeared.

He was standing in the middle of all the demons, letting one of them freely attack him without defending.

“Clang!”

A chiming sound of impact.

But the armor wasn’t even scratched.

With a single slash, Gu Qing Shan sliced that demon in half as well.

At this point, he was already deeper into the wave of demons than the wounded Zhao Wu chaplain.

He raised his sword.

In the camp, while their blood was boiling, the cultivators saw his signal, roared and rushed out towards their commander who was retreating.

Gu Qing Shan already equipped the [You Ji General] title.

He headed straight towards the hundreds of demons.

His sword let out screaming sounds of wind as it moved, consecutively chopping up the demons one after another.

None of managed to even take one strike without dying.

Suddenly, a giant monster about the size of five people appeared, roaring while heading to attack Gu Qing Shan.

Wherever it moved, the earth trembled, the demons quickly dashed out of its way.

This was a giant demon whose strength is comparable to Golden Core realm cultivators.

“I’ve been waiting for you” Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice.

Divine Skill, [Ground Shrink]

A second later, he already stood on the demon’s shoulder, touching it with his hand.

[Stiffness] activated, the giant demon instantly got stunned in place.

Using the Earth Sword, Gu Qing Shan swiftly slit the demon’s throat.

A slit with the force equaling 60,000 tons.

The giant demon’s head flew, blood spurted out from its neck like a fountain.

The headless body fell to the ground.

Using the momentum, Gu Qing Shan thrust his sword at the group of demons as he descended.

Secret Art, [Water Flow Severance]!

Donk donk donk donk donk!

Numerous sword phantoms flew into the sea of demons, exploding into fireworks of blood and flesh.

Swinging his sword once again, Gu Qing Shan headed deeper into the sea of demons.

Behind him, the Martial cultivators had already received their commander and were retreating.

The demons being held back by Gu Qing Shan were already far enough away from the Martial cultivators. The first wave of prepared Elemental spells hit them in succession, stopping a few in their tracks and killed many more.

Gu Qing Shan himself danced around the sea of demons, killing a couple more waves before nonchalantly retreating back to humanity’s camp.

While the demons were still too scared to pursue, they were hit once again with the next waves of Elemental spells and even more died.

Ahead of them was a humanity’s defensive array, prepared to face the enemy, an exceptionally hard bone to chew.

Not to mention, they still had to deal with the serial killer of a swordsman over there.

Finally, the demons had no choice but to retreat reluctantly.

It was only then that Gu Qing Shan was able to relax for a little bit, glancing over at the War God UI.

From the very start, a notification has been blinking nonstop on the UI.

[You’ve perfectly executed three instant kills; each target were enemies stronger than yourself]

[You’ve completed three instant kills while being weaker than the opponent, unlocking the title: Assassin]

[As this is a rare title, you need to spend 50 Soul Points to unlock it]

Reading the notification, Gu Qing Shan was surprised for a second.

During the last time he was at the cultivation world, he killed Leng Tian Xing’s spirit beast giant moth in one strike, then later also killed the Flame-cloud Sky Chasing Crane in one strike. At the time, there was a notification that told him to complete three instant kills while being weaker than the opponent to unlock the corresponding title.

It seems killing the giant demon just now satisfied the conditions to unlocking the title.
