Chapter 1689: Cross this line and you’re dead
While Laura and Shannu were discussing this, Gu Qing Shan suddenly said:
“Don’t”
The two girls were stunned and Laura asked: “But why?”
Gu Qing Shan explained: “If you take his wallet now, anyone can investigate it carefully later on to see that it happened right after he put a bounty on my head, so there’s a possibility of people suspecting us”
He calmly continued: “That’s not very important, but if everyone discovered how various treasures all over the world began to go missing after he was robbed, they might be able to piece things together and sus us out”
Laura asked: “When what should we do?”
Gu Qing Shan solemnly explained to her: “I’ve already told you in the past that this combination of ours absolutely cannot be discovered at all, otherwise, we would face the pursuit of numerous beings in the void of space”
“—–and so, don’t do anything yet. Once this was over, we’re going to rob this world blind”
Shannu still insisted with a tone filled with killing intent: “Gongzi, that man is using money to buy your life”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Hm, that’s why we just need to act like a villain for now and casually gloss this over”
“Gloss this over? How do we gloss it over?” Laura asked in confusion.
“I have an idea——”
Gu Qing Shan turned to the other people on the gladiator ring, only to see that they were all looking towards him with malicious gazes.
Gu Qing Shan blinked, then stepped forward and drew a line on the ground using the Earth sword.
He said with a curt expression: “I’m not someone who likes to murder, but if a single one of you cross this line, I’ll kill every last one of you—–”
“Also, you there on the stands, the one who just offered money for my head, stay right where you are, I’ll be coming for your entire family later on”
After saying that, he sheathed his sword and stepped back, standing firmly.
Complete silence.
Even the stands were silent.
Pfft—-
Someone suddenly laughed.
“Ahahaha, who do you think you are?”
A muscular man who carried an axe on his shoulder loudly mocked him.
He began approaching the line.
Everyone who was fighting on the ring completely stopped, looking at the muscular man with a complicated expression.
As soon as he crosses that line——–
The nature of gladiator battle would completely change.
“STOP!”
Someone shouted.
The muscular man wielded his axe and turned around, grinning: “Which ball-less bastard tried to stop this great one from earning 100,000 coins?”
A bulky man in mechanical armor stepped out from the group and pointed at the muscular man: “I’ve already analyzed the processes of both your and his battle earlier, resulting in a comparison of your overall strength”
“Oh? What’s the result?” the muscular man asked.
The bulky man pointed at Gu Qing Shan and said: “He’s stronger than you are”
“How much stronger?” the muscular man asked again.
“Enough that you’re no match for him” the bulky man replied.
The muscular man’s expression became stiff.
The bulky man walked right up to the line and bowed to Gu Qing Shan: “Sir, please don’t kill me just because of his recklessness, I don’t intend on offending you”
Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
The bulky man stayed silent briefly before turning around to face the muscular man.
“If you take one more step forward, I’m going to kill you” the bulky man declared.
The muscular man chuckled, then wielded his axe with both hands and said: “I’d like to see if you can carry your own weight as well”
Everyone felt a bit surprised, not expecting the two of them to actually fight.
The muscular man’s body shifted and turned into three illusions as he charged towards the bulky man.
“You have a death wish!”
The bulky man shouted, then his chest compartment opened up to reveal a blue cube with arcing electricity.
He held tightly onto the cube and tossed it high into the air.
“GO!” the man suddenly shouted.
The three illusions leapt into the sky and swung heavily towards the cube.
Sha sha sha sha sha!
After an innumerable number of attacks struck it at once, the electric cube completely opened up into a dazzling rain of electric axe images that covered all of Gu Qing Shan’s path to retreat.
——-Combination Skill, [Lightning Axe Shadow]!
It turns out the two of them had been acting the entire time!!!
They only wanted to find an opportunity to eliminate Gu Qing Shan in one swift strike!
Bang bang bang bang——-
Gu Qing Shan’s figure was engulfed by the blinding lightning strikes.
The region he was standing in was completely enveloped in light blue lightning, which made it impossible to see anything.
“Ahahaha, damned self-righteous bastard, you got what you deserve!” the muscular man laughed maniacally.
“That’s right, to be killed by our strongest combination skill is your honor” the bulky man followed up.
The flashes of lightning eventually faded away.
The specialized gladiator ring remained intact, but the swordsman from earlier had disappeared.
The two of them paused.
“He isn’t dead” the muscular man muttered.
Thunderous gasps were suddenly heard from all over the stands.
“Behind us!” the muscular man shouted out loud.
The two of them turned around and shifted into a defensive position.
And then they noticed the pyramid.
——except themselves, the heads of all the other gladiators had been neatly lined up one after another to form a pyramid of heads that reached several meters in height.
Without a sound for warning, the swordsman had managed to avoid their combination skill, kill everyone else on the ring, and built a pyramid out of their heads.
Thud!
The bulky man’s legs gave out like jelly, causing him to fall on his butt.
The muscular man was also no longer acting arrogant, now soaked in a layer of cold sweat.
——-the swordsman was standing on top of the pyramid.
He stood with one foot over the top head while wielding his sword, his expression displayed utter indifference.
“It’s time for your death” Gu Qing Shan curtly said.
“WAIT!” the muscular man suddenly shouted.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him.
“You said that as soon as anyone crosses the line, you’ll kill everyone, but the two of us haven’t crossed the line, even if we had tried to attack you” the muscular man called out.
“Right, right, that’s right, you can’t kill us!” the bulky man also followed up.
Gu Qing Shan tilted his head a bit in thought and said: “What you said is reasonable”
The two of them felt relieved.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “But I’m not a reasonable person”
Sha——
The curt sound of weapons cutting through flesh was heard.
Two skeletons carried the two heads in their hands and walked up to the pyramid, neatly placing them down at the bottom.
The entire colosseum was deathly silent.
The man who called out earlier to buy Gu Qing Shan’s life with 100,000 Evil coins abruptly stood up and ran towards the exit in a panic.
As if he was being chased by a devil, he hysterically shouted while fleeing with his entire being.
A few moments later.
Another skeleton emerged from the exit of the stands while carrying a severed head in its hand, flying back into the colosseum.
The skeleton knelt down and carefully put this head into the pyramid as well.
“Where’s the money?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The skeleton reached behind itself and slowly handed a bag of coins to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan estimated the contents, then silently put it away.
He sent his voice: “There, just a small massacre like this should be enough to gloss it over”
Laura pursed her lips.
——–you call that ‘glossing it over’?
Fine, since you’re so cool, even when you pose as a villain you’re still cool, so it can’t be helped.
“So, one match remaining?” Laura asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Hm, one last match. After the fight, we’ll go get lunch and find a place to begin...”
The two of them exchanged understanding glances.
“It would be best if I can collect the world essence relic as well, that alone would be more than enough” Laura said.
“Do your best, I’ll make some extra food for lunch today” Gu Qing Shan agreed.
A loud voice resounded again:
[And now, the third match is about to begin]
[Gladiators who had won 100 matches in the past, head onto the ring and prepare for the ultimate battle!]
As the metal gates opened, gladiators poured out from their resting area one by one and looked up at the gladiator ring.
They could see the pyramid of heads, as well as the swordsman standing on top of the pyramid.
No one came up to the ring.
After a few moments, the loud voice spoke up:
[...Assassin over there, there’s no need for you to fight the third match, get down]
