Standing in the dust cloud, Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
——seriously?
I already hid myself so well, yet the summoning still reached me.
Of course, a summoning isn’t mandatory, so as long as he refused, the magic would have failed.
According to his original plan, he shouldn’t have accepted the summoning.
But as he saw the man’s terrible state and his unwillingness, Gu Qing Shan still decided to take up his sword and answered the call.
Inside the dust cloud.
“Shannu, remember this technique well”
He took the Chao Yin sword in hand and lightly whispered behind his back.
The man and woman didn’t even hesitate to attack as soon as they heard a voice.
Ridiculous, Wang Cheng was a Devil Summoner!
I’m not sure why he succeeded in the summoning during the last moments of his life, but he offered everything including his soul for this summon.
Such a heavy price must’ve summoned an unprecedentedly terrifyingly strong devil or fiend!
The man and woman both used all their strength to attack whatever was inside the dust.
But before their techniques could even come out, they froze.
Both of them froze in place, unable to move a finger.
At first glance, their souls seemed to have left their bodies, unable to control it.
——-it was because Gu Qing Shan’s sword had already moved.
The Chao Yin sword was already swung, not carrying with it a single bit of killing intent.
This sword swing was casual and contemptuous, there wasn’t even a sword phantom on it, as if the user was only practicing their techniques without actually using force or intention to attack anyone.
If there was something special about this strike, it would be that it was fast.
It was fast to the extreme.
Unfortunately, this strike was far away from its targets, no matter how fast it was, it couldn’t possibly touch them.
———and yet, because of this strike, both the man and the woman were unable to move.
Gu Qing Shan swung again.
This strike was different.
Sword phantoms manifested as a thin string that was swung with a ‘sha’.
Sending their two heads flying.
The corpses fell.
The battle was over before it even began.
Gu Qing Shan put his sword away.
Behind him, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword appeared.
Shannu spoke, a bit embarrassed: “Gongzi, I couldn’t understand, was that [Severance] just now?”

[Severance] is Gu Qing Shan’s Lightning Thaumaturgy, anyone that got hit by it would have their consciousness separated from their bodies for a duration of three seconds.
This was the upgraded version of [Seven Shackles] and [Stiffness], no living being would be immune to it.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and told her: “It wasn’t just [Severance], take another look.
He swung the Chao Yin sword again.
This time, he purposefully swung slower so that Shannu could clearly see his movement.
As she observed, she was surprised: “I understand now, this is the Secret Art, [Life Seeker] with [Severance] attached to it!”
“Correct”
Gu Qing Shan confirmed it.
[Secret Art: Life Seeker, your attacks can reach the enemy when they are within 10 feet of you]
[Notice: This Secret Art can only be activated within a 10-feet range of an enemy]
[Notice: This Secret Art can be used together with other Secret Arts]
The three of them were standing very close just now.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan was summoned, the other party was already within his range of 10 feet.
So Gu Qing Shan had two choices.
One was to take the initiative and attacked first with [Life Seeker] active.
The second was to be careful, use [Severance] first to immobilize them and make them unable to resist before swiftly taking their lives.
Gu Qing Shan chose the second.
This man and woman were able to make such a secretive plan and killed Wang Cheng in one fell swoop, so they must have the necessary mental fortitude and means for it.
Not to mention the countless Professions that Gu Qing Shan saw back at the Profession Committee, there was no telling what kind of thing these two were capable of and how he should be wary of them.
So in that split second, he decided to restrain them before anything else.
Shannu thought briefly and quickly realized: “Gongzi, if that’s the case, wouldn’t that mean that as long as you use [Life Seeker], every enemy within 10 feet of you will be affected by [Severance]?”
Gu Qing Shan nodded: “Unless they already know of [Life Seeker]’s characteristics, or they have an especially potent spirit sense that foretold them of their own death, no one will be able to escape from the combined attack of [Severance] and [Life Seeker]”
Shannu continued: “In other words…”
“Indeed, as long as an enemy gets into a range of 10 feet around me, whenever I attacked, they would easily be immobilized by [Severance]” Gu Qing Shan casually told her.
Shannu was stunned and fell into silence.
She was slowly digesting the shocking capabilities of this Secret Art.
From now on, both gongzi’s and my fighting style will be changed greatly.
No wonder gongzi wanted me to take a close look.
No wonder Xie Dao Ling specifically exchanged this technique from someone else.
In hindsight, Xie Dao Ling must’ve kept it in mind ever since she knew that Gu Qing Shan awoke a Lightning Thaumaturgy.
——although Xie Dao Ling doesn’t know that Gu Qing Shan’s Thaumaturgy has been upgraded twice, going from [Seven Shackles] to [Severance], she has always been silently looking for a suitable sword technique for her disciple.
With his restraint-type Lightning Thaumaturgy, it was almost like this Secret Art was made for Gu Qing Shan!
This is what ‘within 10 feet, I seek out your life and extinguish it’ truly means!
Shannu went silent thinking about her fighting style from now on.
Gu Qing Shan had also put the Chao Yin sword away and crouched down to look at Wang Cheng’s corpse.
Wang Cheng’s eyes were still opened wide and bloodshot, his expression full of unwillingness and pain.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed and shook his head: “Reckless man, I’ve completed my end of the deal between you and I”
Following his declaration, a grey rune suddenly came out from Wang Cheng’s corpse.
This rune silently came into Gu Qing Shan’s hand.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI together with it.
[First rule of summoning: A fair deal]
[ ‘Fair’ refers to the fact that the Summoner A accepting the Summoned B’s work, as well as B accepting A’s payment]
[This summoning has fulfilled the above conditions]
[Issuing payment to the Devil King of Huang Quan]
[Wang Cheng’s soul vessel rune: This rune contains Wang Cheng’s entire life’s worth of experience, knowledge, abilities and wealth, as well as the Soul Points contained in his soul]
[You may now absorb this rune]
Gu Qing Shan lightly tapped the rune.
Countless images flowed into his head.
A lot of time seemed to have passed, but in fact, it was only a split second, and in that time Gu Qing Shan had suddenly learnt a lot of things.

His Soul Points have also increased quite a bit.
After he found the Divine Watch of God Institute and learned [Miracle Search] from it, he had 86,000 Soul Points left.
Then he learnt a lot of Blade, Archery, Martial Arts, and even Cooking skills, then used [Mystery of All Beings Equal] over and over. Even when the creatures he turned into were tiny like an ant or a skylark, he still had to pay the Soul Points for it.
So now he only had around 70,000 Soul Points left.
And then this Devil Summoner Wang Cheng’s summoning gave him 3000 Soul Points!
Just like that, Gu Qing Shan gained some more Soul Points, settling at around 73,000 Soul Points.
Furthermore—-
Gu Qing Shan raised his hand.
A grey shadow appeared from his hand.
This was a Fiend-Devil Covenant.
After absorbing Wang Cheng’s payment, Gu Qing Shan actually learnt his Devil summoning technique!
As Gu Qing Shan looked at his Soul Points and the grey shadow on his hand, he couldn’t help but mutter: “No wonder devils and fiends are willing to respond to such a summoning, this is basically wealth falling from the sky”
All of a sudden, a tiny sound could be heard from above the shuttle’s wreck.
Someone was coming.
Shannu hurriedly asked: “Gongzi, what do we do now?”
“Hm? Hmmmmm…”
As he said that, Gu Qing Shan dispelled the Devil summoning.
He crouched down in front of Wang Cheng’s body and spoke apologetically: “I’m sorry, but I’ll probably need to take something else from you”
Under Shannu’s watchful eye, Gu Qing Shan took a hair off of Wang Cheng’s head.
He grasped the hair and activated [Mystery of All Beings Equal]
The second Wang Cheng appeared.
