Chapter 379: The dark tunnel
Sensing the multiple presence inside the dark tunnel, Gu Qing Shan froze.
So that’s why, the demons have taken over the pathway between the human realm and Huang Quan…
He said: “System, help me appraise if there are any unknown demons in this tunnel”
[Detected countless unknown demons]
[Individual appraisal is too much of a hassle that will greatly affect battle, if you want to change it to real time appraisal, please pay 10 Soul Points per second] the System responded.
“10 Soul Points a second? That’s a bit much”
Gu Qing Shan muses about it.
But what I’m about to face are demons who have never appeared in both the cultivation world and the human world, without any intel on them, it’ll be a very rough battle.
Glancing at his total of 2100 Soul Points, Gu Qing Shan nodded and said: “Alright, begin”
Following his words, the War God UI began to let out a ‘tick tick tick’ sound.
Glowing lines of text scrolled through the War God UI.
[War God UI initiating appraisal mode]
[Synchronizing with your thoughts]
[Constructing intelligence system]
[The user may now begin real-time investigation of the monster’s species and power level]
Sensing himself a bit, Gu Qing Shan didn’t notice any changes.
He asked in confusion: “How do I investigate?”
[Like normal, use your inner sight to scan them to receive a monster’s species and corresponding descriptions] the System replied.
“That convenient?” Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes unexpectedly.
He released his inner sight and began to scan the inside of the dark tunnel.
An ashen white serpentine monster extended its claws, grabbing onto the tunnel walls, silently hiding in the shadows.
The monster didn’t have eyes or any scales on its body, instead covered in what seemed like a layer of liquid.
Pointing its head towards Gu Qing Shan’s direction, it was trying to sniff something out.
As Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight scanned through this monster, a notification popped up in his mind.
[Darkblood Demon Serpent, expert fighter in the space vortex and the Demon realm, power level equivalent to an Ascended realm late stage cultivator]
This Darkblood Demon Serpent is actually the same realm as Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight passed through it and begin to move in deeper.
There were demons all over the dark tunnel.

Innumerable, endless, they were literally everywhere inside.
[Bone-Devouring Demon Frog, expert at dealing with Huang Quan path and Hungry Ghost path, capable of spitting adhesive substance, power level equivalent to Ascended realm middle stage]
[Sharp-boned Imp, close-combat demon, its bones are the sharpest, capable of slicing apart 5-Elemental spells, power level equivalent to Rejuvenation realm late stage]
[Hundred-clawed Soft-bodied Insect…]
…
Detailed descriptions of countless monsters appeared in his mind, but didn’t affect Gu Qing Shan’s thoughts at all.
At this moment, Gu Qing Shan felt like he has fought with these demons over countless years already.
He knew every demon in there like the back of his hand.
“That’s quite impressive” he commented.
[You get what you paid for] the System replied.
Inside Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight, the Darkblood Demon Serpent was silently moving towards him.
In just a few moments, the demon serpent had made it below where he was.
The demon serpent looked up, staring at him in the shadow.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand and grasped the Earth sword.
With the other hand, he grabbed the Chao Yin sword.
Both swords in hand.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared.
Slash!
The Darkblood Demon Serpent was immediately hit.
Bring hurt, the demon serpent jumped from the tunnel wall.
In the blink of an eye as it jumped up, it was already dead.
The Darkblood Demon Serpent’s body convulsed in the air before being scattered piece by piece, turning into a mist of black blood.
The mist of blood followed the winds blowing inside the tunnel and was washed away.
Gu Qing Shan retracted his swords.
With a single slash, a Darkblood Demon Serpent at the same level as him was killed.
No one would believe it could be that easy if they only look at it from the outside.
Truthfully, Gu Qing Shan was originally an expert sword cultivator in real battles, together with his lightning element spirit energy, he naturally had an edge when fighting demons.
The lighting element is called ‘Smiting’, when faced with a demon, the cultivator’s power would be increased by at least 30%.
At Ascended realm late stage, a 30% increase should be about equivalent to Sainted realm early stage.
That is to say, when facing demons, Gu Qing Shan’s true power should be considered at least equal to a Sainted realm sword saint!
Gu Qing Shan stood vertically on the downward tunnel walls.

Black blood was still dripping from the two swords.
This seems to have triggered the other demons.
They rushed in a frenzy towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan’s inner sight passed through the countless demons, learning their characteristics as he fought.
Three monsters followed the vertical walls up, opening their mouth to chomp on him.
Gu Qing Shan’s swords moved.
The sword slashes flashed, breaking the darkness of the tunnel.
The monsters were slashed to bits, scattered away by the intense winds.
A rain of blood started to fall in the jet dark tunnel.
The foul stench of demon blood and corpses triggered the frenzy of even more demons as they began to howl.
Thunderous roaring howl.
Followed by a wave of howls like a crashing tsunami.
The tunnel itself was trembling.
More and more demons came.
The demons felt the presence of Gu Qing Shan’s soul.
This was something they desired.
They all began to move.
Demons rushed out of the tunnel like an intense down-river stream.
Gu Qing Shan stood still at the top of the tunnel.
He equipped the title [Ace Assassin], released his inner sight fully and scanned over all the demons again.
There were several dozens of them approaching him now.
“You bunch stand guard at the entrance to hell, how about going to hell to check it out yourselves?”
Gu Qing Shan looked over the monster and spoke.
The monsters only roared in response before quickly surrounding him.
More and more monsters were coming.
All souls that tries to enter Huang Quan are devoured by them within this tunnel.
They were already used to this type of hunting where the prey approached them.
In the shadow.
Gu Qing Shan muttered: “Seeing how professional you all are, I’ll gladly send you on your ways”
Before he even finished, a black flower bloomed out of nowhere from the wall of the tunnel.
Sword phantoms bloom, Secret Art [Drawn Shadow]!
All the phantom swords scattered, turning into black dancing lights.
As if they were in a meat grinder, the demons were finely chopped and diced to mince meat.
The shower of blood rained down below.
[You received 10 Soul Points]
[You received 17 Soul Points]
[You received 8 Soul Points]
[Confirmed instant kill, spirit energy refunded]
[Confirmed instant kill, spirit energy refunded]
[Confirmed instant kill, spirit energy refunded]
…
Gu Qing Shan put his swords away and looked down below at the tunnel.
The tunnel was several dozen thousand meters in diameter, but it was filled to the brim with demons.
While they were soaked in blood, they were still eager to rush forward and devour the delectable soul that was him.
Gu Qing Shan’s mind moved and released the Earth sword.
He changed his equipped title to [You Ji General]
“Go to town on them, I don’t believe any demons would be able to stop your attacks” Gu Qing Shan said.
「 Very well 」 the Earth sword responded with resounding voice.
Like a comet, the sword flew straight into the horde of demons.
In reality, without a sword cultivator to control them with sword techniques, normal flying swords aren’t able to attack enemies.
The only exception is a sword with a spirit, as the spirit can control the swords for very simple actions like swings or thrusts.
The Earth sword controlled itself to fly forward with very simple movements.
Swing.
Swing.
Faster swing.
Aside from swinging, the Earth sword didn’t do anything else.
But none of the demons in the dark tunnel could stop a strike that weighed 86,370,000 tons!
Gu Qing Shan stood in the air.
He calmly watched as the Earth sword killed the demons.
On the War God UI, the battle notifications continued to pop up.
[You received 17 Soul Points]
[You received 11 Soul Points]
[You received 21 Soul Points]
…
Even though he needed to spend 10 Soul Points every second to appraise the demons, after killing for one hour straight, Gu Qing Shan’s Soul Points still increased by an impressive 3000 points.
Gu Qing Shan was very pleased with his harvest.
After a while, he suddenly pulled the Earth sword back.
There were no more rowdy demons.
This caused some of the more hidden presences within the void of space to show themselves a little bit.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression turned serious.
At some unknown point, the dark tunnel went completely silent.
Gu Qing Shan was very sure that he didn’t kill all of the demons.
Within his inner sight, there were still a few weak demons sticking closely to the tunnel walls, standing absolutely still.
From their frightened appearance, he probably only need to move a little bit for them to start running with all their might.
Gu Qing Shan jumped lightly, heading straight down towards the dark tunnel.
This time, the darkness swallowed him completely.
