While they were chatting, Gu Qing Shan’s Holo-Brain in his breast pocket lit up.

[Sir, I’ve locked onto the target] Impartial Goddess reported.

Gu Qing Shan stood up and patted Ye Fei Li.

Ye Fei Li was at the most interesting part of the game, so he didn’t want to put it down and asked: “Weren’t we going to eat first?”

“Consider this a pre-meal exercise” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“God damn, you’re even more excited about this than I am” Ye Fei Li complained.

“You don’t want to evolve your ears?” Gu Qing Shan raised his eyebrows, “if that’s the case, I don’t mind resting for a bit more”

“Let’s go, we’ll leave now” Ye Fei Li quickly stood up, rubbing his hands.

“I’m also a bit free right now, how about I join you?” Zhang Ying Hao also stood up.

“You can’t, you need to stay here, if any unexpected situation occurs, you have to tell us as soon as possible” Gu Qing Shan replied very seriously.

“Fine then” hearing him so serious, Zhang Ying Hao quickly agreed.

A super-speed shuttle landed on the terrace, waiting until Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li got in to jet away at sonic speed.

“Seems like you’re in a hurry” Ye Fei Li looked a bit at Gu Qing Shan and said what he was thinking.

“The slab of meat is evolving very quickly, and we’ve been so busy without any time on earth. Now that we have a little bit of time, we have to take the chance and kill it” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“That slab of meat huh?” Ye Fei Li became serious, “That means, you didn’t let Zhang Ying Hao come along because you thought he might be in danger?”

“That’s right, this battle will be very dangerous, both you and I must be careful” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Saying so, he started to don the You Ji general armor set.

“Seems like I’ll have to get serious” Ye Fei Li agreed.

Without a pause, he also wore the Murder Clown armor.

A city.

An empty city.

Before the apocalypse, this used to be a popular tourist city.

But now, on the once busy, rowdy streets, not a single person was in sight.

Not just people, but dogs, cats, mice, no kind of animal were seen anywhere.

Even the Man Eater Fiends and Man Killer Fiends that usually wandered around were nowhere to be seen.

This was probably the quietest city in the entire planet.

Then a flying shuttle arrived, breaking the silence of the city.

The shuttle circled around and finally landed on the large main road.

Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li stepped off the shuttle.

[With its calculated trajectory, it will pass by this area in 5 minutes] Impartial Goddess’ voice was heard.

Sure enough, not long after, 10 Man Eater Fiends appeared, slowly pulling a horse cart into the area.

In the horse cart was a large slab of meat.

The slab of meat had no limbs and no facial features, but it was moving nonstop, as if to feel something.

Then the horse cart stopped in front of Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li.

A ringing voice was heard in Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li’s ears.

『 Guests, I welcome you 』

『 It’s been so hard to meet living things around here recently; I’m thinking of leaving this place soon 』

『 For you to come here, do you perhaps wants to enter my world of your own will? 』

Gu Qing Shan and Ye Fei Li exchanged looks.

“Just like last time” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Hm, let’s finish this quick and go back for food” as Ye Fei Li spoke, he already jetted forward at the slab of meat.

“Die!”

Roaring, his hands turned into sharp blades and slashed at the slab of meat.

Suddenly, hundreds of sharp spikes protruded from the slab of meat, stabbing into Ye Fei Li like a porcupine.

“Aaaarrgg!” Ye Fei Li screamed in pain, but his body was already glowing a blood red color.

All the spikes instantly melted when they touched the blood glow.

“Are you alright?” Gu Qing Shan asked from afar.

“I’m fine, I just want to kill it!”

Ye Fei Li roared angrily, suddenly flew up into the air and began his next attack.

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out the Night Rain.

On the War God UI, he changed his title to [You Ji General].

“Let me deal with these servants”

He quickly walked towards the Man Eater Fiends pulling the cart.

The ringing sound from the slab of meat became a booming sound.

『 So you don’t want to join my world, how regretful 』

『 Go, bring back this human’s corpse, I need a decent meal after a while 』

As soon as it said that, the large and bulky Man Eater Fiends moved into action.

They let go of the reins and rushed towards Gu Qing Shan, roaring.

Gu Qing Shan knocked an arrow, pulling it back.

Then let loose.

Thwack!

A Man Eater Fiend’s head exploded.

It was still moving forward from inertia, but quickly fell to the ground and was unable to move anymore.

“Quite effective”

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

Under the effect of the [You Ji General] title, his attack speed is increased by 15%.

Together with the Skill [Riding Wind] that passively increased an arrow’s speed of flight, under the two buffs, even Gu Qing Shan himself couldn’t see the trajectory of his arrows.

Gu Qing Shan’s hands didn’t stop and activated two Skills as the same time.

[Riding Wind]!

[Rapid Fire]!

As he consecutively fired, the arrows disappeared one after the other.

The next time they were seen, the arrows had already penetrated deeply into a Man Eater Fiend’s body.

A total of 10 Man Eater Fiends, but only 1 managed to arrive before Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan stowed his bow away, grabbing the air and held a sword in his hand.

He swung, the sword sliced through the air to make a sharp screeching noise as Gu Qing Shan and the Man Eater Fiend passed each other.

Behind him, the Man Eater Fiend stood still as a thin line of blood appeared on its body.

The line quickly spread from the left shoulder all the way to its pelvis.

The Man Eater Fiend had already been bisected, its organs and blood soaked the ground.

Gu Qing Shan looked up and yelled: “Sorry about that, I accidentally killed them all”

Only to see Ye Fei Li was looking over with a pained expression, shouting: “Run!”

Gu Qing Shan stopped, squinted his eyes to observe him.

He saw that Ye Fei Li was opening his mouth to breath heavily, while his bloodshot eyes were glowing in a frenzied manner.

“It’s trying to control me, its mental power is unimaginably powerful —–run away quick, or I might kill you!” Ye Fei Li shouted.

Gu Qing Shan was a bit tense; he didn’t expect the creature to have evolved to much that it was able to take control of Ye Fei Li as well.

He quickly put his sword away, took out the Night Rain again and drew a jet black arrow.

Demon Slaying Arrow!

[Riding Wind]! [Rapid Fire]! [Bombardment]!

All the Skills activated!

With a ‘thwack’, the Demon Slaying Arrow disappeared from the bow.

From the horse cart, the slab of meat let out a sharp ear-piercing scream of pain that reverberated all the way to the sky.

『 Aaaarrgghh!! It hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts! 』

Immediately, a large chunk of the meat was completely gouged out, as the red blood spewed everywhere like a fountain.

『 Damned human! I want to rend your body piece by piece a thousand times over! 』

The slab of meat shouted with a booming voice.

Following its words, an invisible wave of ‘something’ seemed to have enveloped Gu Qing Shan.

But he didn’t mind it, drew the second Demon Slaying Arrow out, knocked it on the bow and activated his Skills again.

The Arrow flew.

Another intense scream of pain, the slab of meat wiggled angrily and shouted: 『 Get over here! 』

The invisible wave became stronger.

And Gu Qing Shan was hit.

Right after, a large black curtain had covered the sky.

The entire world was in darkness.

Countless strange looking creatures sprouted from the ground, as well as a wok full of boiling blood, cooking the half-dead, half alive people it trapped inside.

Mountains of swords, seas of fire, gigantic monsters, bottomless pits, all sorts of hellish scenes appeared all at once in front of Gu Qing Shan.

『 Welcome to my world, once you’ve entered, don’t even think of coming back 』

The slab of meat’s angry voice rang all over.

『 You will receive the cruelest of tortures, all the way until your soul itself rips apart from the pain, only then will my anger be sated! 』

As soon as it finished speaking, the ground under Gu Qing Shan became a boiling river of blood.

In the river of blood, countless types of demonic creatures opened their large mouths with sharp teeth, staring and waiting for Gu Qing Shan.

The meat roared: 『 Damned human, taste the horror of hell! 』

Gu Qing Shan immediately began to fall into the river of blood.

In the river of blood, all sorts of creatures rose up, wanting to grab Gu Qing Shan.

But Gu Qing Shan’s entire body let out a seven-colored light.

In the air, a rain of petals and divine creatures descended.

Together with them was a projection of 6 Holy Divinity, holding all sorts of holy weapons.

This was the Great Monk of Sorrow’s technique that he was given for his contribution in the decisive battle in the cultivation world.

As soon as Gu Qing Shan received an attack on his soul vessel, the technique automatically activated and showed its power.

The 6 Holy Divinity stood around Gu Qing Shan, shouting: “Hoh!”

Deep in the hellscape, a long cry of agony was heard.

In a few moments, the river of blood, the demonic creatures, mountains of swords, sea of fire and the rest of the terrifying scenes all disappeared.

The black curtain that covered the sky was quickly retreating, revealing the clear blue sky.

Gu Qing Shan found himself still standing on the large main road, not moving an inch away.
