Chapter 964 - Master of The Southern Cross Nebulae World

Chapter 964: Master of The Southern Cross Nebulae World

The Bramble Bird ship was speeding across the space vortex.

The Professionists that were sent to surround the ship had been wiped out and returned to dust.

The space vortex regained its calm.

It was almost as if the multitudes of Professionists just now were a still image that forced its way in front of Gu Qing Shan’s group just to vanish a second later.

Gu Qing Shan stood up.

The man’s wounds had been treated, but Gu Qing Shan didn’t know when he would wake up again.

The man was laying on the deck of the ship, still unconscious.

——can this guy that was randomly grabbed by the wooden arm really save me in a future crisis?

Gu Qing Shan was a bit uncertain, looking at the man.

But he truly was saved from grave danger from within the void of space just now.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t understand the power of Occultism, but he had already experienced it first-hand.

There was nothing they could do now except to wait for him to wake up.

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to observe the space vortex and found that every Professionist had already been killed by Lin.

“Did you kill them all?” he couldn’t help but ask.

“You told me to act, is there a problem?” Lin asked in reply.

Gu Qing Shan just smiled back: “There aren’t any problems, so of course not, well done”

But he couldn’t hide the regret in his voice.

——-all he has now was a pathetic 2 Soul Points, so if there were any emergencies, he wouldn’t be able to use a lot of his abilities.

Lin thought about it a bit and slowly understood.

“I remember now, you seem to have some sort of strange [Order] that allows you to collect Soul Points from those you kill—— then I should’ve just crippled them instead” Lin said.

Seeing her regretful expression, Gu Qing Shan tried to console her instead: “It’s ok, we’ll wait until the next time there are enemies”

“It has to be enemies that are stronger than you are, right?” Lin asked with a pondering expression on her face.

“They can be the same level as I am as well” Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight, saw the itching look on Lin’s face and quickly added: “—–and I don’t usually kill just anybody, I only kill enemies that I’ve confirmed as targets to die”

Hearing him, Lin understood what he was worried about and spoke full of implications: “Hah, you sure have a lot of requests, I didn’t think you’d be such a saint”

“I’m not as virtuous as you’re saying, but if you just randomly catch people for me to kill, I wouldn’t be able to do it” Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly.

The two of them suddenly stopped.

A bright flash of light appeared in the space vortex.

This flash of light was so fast that it reached the deck of the Bramble Bird ship in the blink of an eye.

Dong!

The entire ship was rocking a bit from the impact.

A rock person wearing a full suit of grey armor appeared in front of the three of them.

“The master of the Southern Cross Nebulae world!” Laura shouted in surprise.

“An acquaintance?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

As he observed the other party, he felt a familiar presence from him.

In the Age of Old, Gu Qing Shan used a Soul Artifact to transform into an Indestructible Giant, so he recognized the bit of Indestructible Giant presence that the rock person standing in front of him carried.

This was quite a formidable elemental life form.

“He’s an entity that has surpassed Lord-class, the strongest member of the earth elemental race. In the 900 million World Layers, he is one of the few who stands at the peak” Laura whispered.

The bulky rock person obviously noticed Laura.

He was a bit surprised and asked: 「 Bramble Bird Empress? Then, it was you and your subordinates who saved him? 」

“Who?” Laura was a bit confused.

The master of the Southern Cross Nebulae world pointed to the floor.

The three of them looked down to see that he was pointing at the unconscious man.

“I saved him, so?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The rock person grinned:

「 Then it couldn’t be helped. My master is too far away from this place, so they ordered me to take this guy away and kill those who saved him 」

He moved his neck around a bit, giving off chilling killing intent, and locked onto Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan was silently surprised.

This guy didn’t seem to have come here for Laura, but for the man I saved.

In other words, there are currently two groups with their attention on this ship.

One side wants to capture Laura.

The other side wants to capture this unconscious man.

This is such a complicated situation that it almost feels like the advent of a storm.

Gu Qing Shan opened his palm and silently wielded the Earth sword.

Next to him, Laura was anxious: “Master of the Southern Cross Nebulae world, what are you doing—— I can pay you anything you ask, as long as you are willing to ignore his matter”

While talking, a projection of the Bramble Great Tree had already manifested behind her.

Even while surrounded by so many people earlier, Laura didn’t call upon the Bramble Great Tree.

But now, she had immediately summoned it.

The rock person looked at the Bramble Great Tree with a cautious expression: 「 If this was any other time, I would be willing to accept this proposal, but not this time. No wealth or treasure could possibly compare to what master is about to grant me 」

Laura was a bit worried and tried to offer more, but Lin stopped her.

Lin stepped in front to shield her and glanced at Gu Qing Shan.

“This guy seems to be a bit stronger than you” she commented.

“Hm” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“And he wants to capture your mutual saviour”

“Hm”

“He wants to kill you”

“Hm”

“Still going to be a saint?” Lin teased him.

“I’ve never been a saint, you know that” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Hmph”

Recalling what happened in the past, Lin scoffed in irritation.

Why isn’t this guy afraid of me anymore?

Should I teach him a small lesson?

While Lin was contemplating this, the earth elemental Combatant had already attacked them from lack of patience.

「 Die! 」

He shouted and vanished from where he stood.

At the same time, Lin also moved.

She lightly dashed forward, raised her long leg straight up, and swiftly chopped down.

Gu Qing Shan followed suit and swung the Earth sword upwards.

——–life extinguished.

Pieces of rocks and rubble fell to the floor of the ship, scattered everywhere.

Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[You killed an Earth elemental Combatant: Master of the Southern Cross Nebulae world (since it didn’t name itself, I can only call it that)]

[You obtained 49,998 Soul Points]

[Remaining Soul Points: 50000/600]

[Reminder: This combat was a bit shameless, going slightly against the War God System’s rules]

Gu Qing Shan scowled and said: “I know you also took a bit of Soul Points, so either talk properly, or spit the Soul Points you took back out, choose!”

The War God UI froze briefly.

The last line of glowing text vanished.

Replaced by another line:

[I really must say, this was a perfect 2-person coordinated attack!]

Gu Qing Shan glanced over and ignored the UI.

Now that he has 50,000 Soul Points, he would have a lot more options in battle.

Gu Qing Shan felt a bit more assured.

“Oh no” Lin suddenly said.

“What’s the matter?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“We killed him too quickly and forgot to ask who his master was” Lin replied.

Gu Qing Shan said: “Laura, you seem to recognize him, do you know anything else?”

Laura shook her head and replied: “This level of Combatant is already among the strongest of the 900 million World Layers, I really don’t know who would be able to order him around”

Lin added: “Furthermore, killing Gu Qing Shan was only a side job, the main thing he came here for was to bring your mutual saviour away”

All of them turned to look at the unconscious man.

——he was still completely out cold, unsure when he would wake up.

Laura sighed: “I didn’t believe that this guy would be Gu Qing Shan’s mutual saviour either, but if his enemy is at the level of the master of the Southern Cross Nebulae world, I trust that a bit more now”

Gu Qing Shan made a simple hand seal.

The man floated up, flew into a certain room below deck, and landed on a bed.

Gu Qing Shan said: “I can’t really depend on him to save me right now, but maybe he’ll help me get a bit more Soul Points”

The ship suddenly started to slow down.

“Is someone else here?” Lin asked.

“That’s not it” Laura looked around her and smiled: “We’ve just made it to the current that leads into the Mystic Zones. We’re about to arrive at my kingdom”

The scenery around them changed.

A giant old tree stood in the middle of the space vortex.

The ship seemed like an insignificant speck of dust in front of this tree.

——they had finally arrived!
