Chapter 516: The third card

Gu Qing Shan crossed his arms, letting himself fly through the endless void of space.

He sighed deeply, a bit unsure and hesitant.

Why did they come up with two completely opposite directions?

And how did they finally decide on which was the correct one to send me?

Gu Qing Shan was half-panicking at this point.

Barry and Kitty, the brother and sister duo must’ve been hiding something from me.

But regardless, it is now too late to change the direction of my flight right now.

As time passed, Gu Qing Shan noticed that he was gradually going faster.

But at the same time, the acceleration wasn’t just in speed alone.

At some moments, he could see the bright starry sky.

Among the large clusters of nebulae, stars were changing, declining, some even went supernova, emitting gorgeous and psychedelic light and shadows.

The light from space revealed the figures of countless space monsters hiding in the darkness, forming colorful silhouettes in distant directions.

Those faint space monster silhouettes overlapped, mixing in with the light and shadows around.

——-as if space itself was overlapping.

As time went by, more and more overlapped sceneries showed up, becoming more and more crowded.

At a certain point, Gu Qing Shan managed to see several space monsters in the exact same direction and place, with their faint bodies overlapping.

He even noticed a few peculiar creatures within the space vortex, going in and out of his vision.

“Overlapping… space?” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

If that’s the case, I must be travelling through countless World Layers at once right now.

This couldn’t be something just anyone can do, Kitty sure is impressive.

——–the only worry Gu Qing Shan had now was that he didn’t know which direction he was heading to, and whether or not he would make it closer to Aboul.

At some point, the War God UI suddenly reacted.

Gu Qing Shan quickly glanced over.

Lines of glowing text quickly scrolled across the screen.

[Calculating spatial warp orbit]

[Parabola warp orbit has been confirmed]

[Closest point to Aboul will approach in 31 seconds, exactly 671 World Layers from Aboul]

[Conclusion: 31 seconds later, the System will execute return warp]

[You will reappear at your original location]

Quickly reading through that, Gu Qing Shan was relieved.

That’s great, seems like Barry’s direction was correct.

Gu Qing Shan quickly prepared himself.

I have to return as soon as possible.

I have to answer the call of the Bramble Birds.

I need to find that girl Su Xue Er!

Gu Qing Shan silently told himself.

31 seconds went by quickly.

A screen of light enveloped Gu Qing Shan.

He disappeared from the space vortex.

Aboul.

Infini-worlds Town.

The inn.

As the screen of light reappeared so did Gu Qing Shan.

He tried taking a few steps forward.

The invisible barrier was gone.

[The Binding Oath] really did disappear.

Since it couldn’t see any signs of Gu Qing Shan’s soul within the 500 million km effective range, it automatically dispelled itself.

Good.

Gu Qing Shan quickly walked out.

Now I can—–

Bonk!!!

He crashed into another barrier, blood-colored this time.

“Damn it! Why is there another one!”

Gu Qing Shan fell down, rubbing his head from the pain, expressing his annoyance.

Shannu flew out, saw Gu Qing Shan’s appearance and didn’t know what to say: “Gongzi, Su Xue Er set up a total of three barriers, the first was her kiss, the second was the other barrier, this was the last barrier”

“That girl——-”

Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth as he touched the bloody barrier.

As he touched it, a few lines of text showed up on the War God UI.

[Blood Sea deck: The Lord’s Protection]

[After this card is activated, it will form a protective barrier around the selected area. No person or attack will be able to break through it]

[Note: This is the Lord Bloodcloak’s considerate protection towards his disciple]

Reading this, Gu Qing Shan fell completely silent.

According to the skill description, this card was even more powerful than [The Binding Oath].

What do I do now?

Seeing him blank out, Shannu was a bit worried: “Gongzi, what should we do now? Young lady Su could already be fighting”

Gu Qing Shan went silent for a short while before chuckling.

“Xue Er, hah Xue Er, you’re so much more capable now, at least I can be assured about that” he muttered.

“Ah? What do you mean, gongzi?” Shannu was surprised and asked.

“Hm, we’re not going to keep playing her game, we’re directly leaving” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Directly leaving?” Shannu didn’t understand.

“That’s right, we’re calling for help and then we’re leaving”

Shannu still didn’t understand.

There’s currently nobody in Infini-worlds Town, even the inn is self-serve without any guards or security.

Unlike this barrier, gongzi couldn’t even leave, how would they call for help?

And who would he call for help from?

Who can break through the Blood Sea’s most powerful protection?

“Gongzi, what exactly do we do?”

“Just do as I say, like this…”

Gu Qing Shan quickly explained to her what needs to be done.

Shannu twirled and turned back into the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

The chilling sword easily went through the bloody barrier.

That’s right, since the Six Paths Great Mountain sword was capable of breaking any spells, Shannu could leave.

The sword hovered in the air for a bit before flying to the highest point of the inn.

Shannu stood on top of the inn, looking at the shroud of night that draped over Infini-worlds Town, taking a deep breath.

Then she yelled with all her might: “Is there anybody here? We’re treating everyone to some chicken!”

Within the silent darkness of night, her voice travelled far, enough for an echo to be heard from the mountain further away.

Everything went silent again.

Shannu waited for a bit.

Nothing seemed to happen.

All of a sudden.

An overwhelming force formed a maelstrom that focused at a certain part of Infini-worlds Town.

An furious roar erupted to the sky, echoing across the entire Infini-worlds Town.

“Fucker! Let me see who dares to eat chicken!!!”

Following this roar, a shadowy figure quickly flew here from the other side of Infini-worlds Town.

The figure was speedy and fierce, clearly angry.

As the figure got closer, Shannu recognized who it was.

—–sure enough, it was the prideful big rooster.

Shannu was relieved.

She turned back into a sword and returned into the inn.

The rooster arrived shortly after.

He broke through the outer wall of the inn, landing right in front of Gu Qing Shan’s room.

“Whoever it is inside, let this great one tell y——-” the big rooster shouted.

But then it was surprised for a bit before carefully sensing presence around.

“Strange, this presence is the Blood Sea deck”

The big rooster’s anger subsided as he went into thought: “I recall Gu boy’s female friend was apparently Bloodcloak’s disciple”

“Could it be…”

Thinking that, he reached his wing out to knock on the door.

Bam!

A bloody glow appeared.

The big rooster’s wing was pushed back.

Blood Sea deck—— it’s the two of them alright.

That’s strange, what did they lure me here for?

The big rooster was confused.

At this time, Shannu flew out from the room, landing in front of the big rooster.

“How are you, esteemed sir? Gu Qing Shan hoped that you would be able to do him a small favor” Shannu smiled and said.
