C59 Forcefully breaking through the thousand shadows illusion path
The dense white mist was still floating around Gu Hao.
On the churning river, the bridge swayed slightly.
Gu Hao looked at the spot where the red figure had disappeared, and started to ponder. In the end, he couldn't think of where the other party had gone to. Then, he turned around and returned to the eighth choice plate. He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. In his mind, he began to recall the scene of Crimson Red performing the four sword styles of the 'Qian Mo'.
Walla ~ ~ ~
The river was churning and the waves were splashing.
Time silently flowed by as the great waves rose and fell.
Six hours later, Gu Hao who was seated cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of light shot out from his eyes.
"The four sword techniques — Twisting Soldier, Defense Weapon, Shaking Enemy, and Harvesting, all seemed to be connected, yet they were all independent. They complemented each other, allowing one's attacks to stack on top. What a strange sword technique."
Gu Hao gazed at the vast white mist and muttered to himself.
"Qian Mo, why are these four sword styles called Qian Mo?"
Gu Hao's mind was filled with suspicions, when he truly started to practice this sword technique, he finally understood the true power of it.
With this sword technique, Gu Hao no longer needed to rely on the Divine Artifact Azure Sun Sword or sneak attacks to deal with the Sky Origin Stage cultivator. Furthermore, even if it was against a half a step into the Sky Origin Stage, Gu Hao still had hope to kill him!
To the point of even going against the lord, Gu Hao still had the heart to fight.
"Now, it's time to test out the power of this set of sword technique."
Gu Hao stood up and slapped his right hand on his waist. The Purple Sun Soft Sword flew out and was caught by Gu Hao in one go.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Gu Hao's speed was extremely fast, and in two breaths time, he had already traveled over a hundred meters.
However, right at this moment, a gale blew past, and a black shadow instantly appeared within the white mist.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
As soon as the black figure appeared, it instantly pounced towards Gu Hao.
"Twisting Weapon!"
Gu Hao frowned, and immediately shouted softly. The Purple Sun Soft Sword was suddenly handed out, and the sword bent, instantly surrounding the black figure.
After that, Gu Hao faced the countless number of black shadows and took a step forward. With a swing of his right hand, the black shadow that was entangled by the Purple Sun Soft Sword was instantly smashed into the countless black shadows as the Purple Sun Soft Sword brought it along.
"Royal Armament!"
Gu Hao bellowed softly. When the Purple Sun Soft Sword smashed into the black shadow crowd, his right hand shook and the curved body of the violet sun sword sword straightened up instantly.
The black shadow that was imprisoned by the Purple Sun Soft Sword immediately exploded.
Boom! *
A loud sound rang out as the elemental energy flowed and dispersed the surrounding black shadows, causing the black shadows that had gathered here to scatter and avoid the incoming elemental energy.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Even so, there were still countless black figures that pounced towards Gu Hao. These black figures did not seem to know about the pain and were not afraid of death. Even when they saw Gu Hao's Purple Sun Cut, they rarely avoided it.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
With a move in Gu Hao's mind, the violet sun sword became even more willful as it scattered cold lights and sword beams all over the sky.
relied on the four forms of the [Qian Mo] sword technique, causing the sword's body to be soft and hard at will, and continuously swing the sword in a seemingly simple yet similar manner. In fact, the trajectory of the violet sun sword s were all different each time.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Whenever a black shadow touched the sword barrier around Gu Hao, they would all be instantly killed by the Sword Qi and turn into ashes.
Gu Hao laughed, this sword sheath was completely Gu Hao's imagination. He had borrowed the first two forms of the [Qian Mo] sword technique, making the 'entanglement' of the 'entanglement' infinitely larger, no longer being limited to the length of the sword body, but instead used the 'defense' of the 'weapon', causing countless sword beams to form into a sword body which coiled around Gu Hao, forming a sword cover, protecting Gu Hao.
Of course, the good thing about doing this was that Gu Hao was able to ignore the black figures for the time being and cross the bridge.
The downside of doing this was that he had to constantly wield the sword and use a large amount of natural elemental energy to activate the sword Qi. For Gu Hao who had the Na Yuan technique, even this was a little difficult, he would not be able to hold on for too long.
However, Gu Hao didn't need that much time either. With his speed, he would be able to complete the eighth section of the bridge within five breaths.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Gu Hao immediately did not hesitate and stepped forward, directly rushing into the black shadow, and instantly moving towards the direction of the shadow.
However, the black figures seemed to have noticed Gu Hao's intentions, and when Gu Hao took his third step, they suddenly started to rage.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Countless black figures crazily rushed in front of Gu Hao. Every hundred of them gathered together, forming an extremely huge black figure.
Boom! *
With a dull thud, the black shadow dispersed.
Gu Hao, who had already traveled more than half the distance, was immediately forced to stagger backwards, and almost fell into the river.
However, without waiting for Gu Hao's body to stabilize, another huge shadow formed and struck the sword sheath.
Boom! *
A muffled sound rang out again, and the black shadow dispersed once more, but in exchange, the sword sheath disappeared.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
The moment the sword sheath disappeared, the black figures that filled the sky no longer had any fears, and crazily pounced at Gu Hao!
"Shock the enemy!"
Gu Hao immediately roared out, and displayed the third form of the [Qian Mo].
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
The sword beam flashed, and slashed out at Gu Hao's body, fiercely slashing at the black figure that pounced towards him.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
The sword beam was like a long rainbow as it cut through the air. Dozens of black figures were immediately cut into two and gradually dissipated.
"Since I can't get through it safely, I will just force my way through!"
Gu Hao's gaze turned cold. He impressively stepped forward, faced the sky full of black shadows, shook the Purple Sun Soft Sword in his hand, and directly rushed forward.
"Harvest!"
Swish!
A sword light flashed past, immediately slicing apart a black shadow. And then, the sword didn't stop and instantly slashed at another figure.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Sharp sword qi danced around in the white mist.
One black shadow after another was torn apart.
It was only at this moment that Gu Hao realized that the fourth style of the Qian Mo Sword, "Harvest", did not refer to the harvesting of a single opponent, but rather all of the enemies.
It was just as the red-clothed old man had said; the sword was like thunder, punishing all living things!
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Puff!
No matter how many black figures pounced, or how fierce they pounced, they could not stop the Purple Sun Soft Sword.
A ray of sword energy slashed out and the black shadow immediately split apart, turning into nothingness and floating in the mist!
The bloodless slaughter immediately began.
Sword-light danced in the air, and the shadows that filled the skies were dispersed!
At this moment, Gu Hao himself had an illusion. It was as if the Purple Sun Soft Sword was no longer a weapon, but more like an illusion of his other arm, a limb.
Or perhaps it could be said that the current Gu Hao was a part of the Purple Sun Soft Sword.
If these black figures could be said to be humans, then Gu Hao was like the devil king of the nine nether regions, reaping the harvest of all living things!
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Puff!
There was no bloody light, no stench, and no broken limbs or flesh. Only endless amounts of sharp sword-light remained, as well as constantly fading black shadows.
Swish!
Gu Hao walked forward as he harvested the fruits, and as the black figure continuously dissipated, the elemental energy in Gu Hao's body was swiftly being depleted as well.
Time flowed on, and in the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Gu Hao had already harvested over a thousand black figures.
At the same time, when his elemental energy was running out, he had broken through the Thousand Shadows Illusion Path and reached the eighth choice!
"Huuu ~ ~ ~"
The endless black shadows all retreated and disappeared into the white mist in the blink of an eye.
Plop!
The moment Gu Hao stepped onto the eighth round plate, he instantly collapsed on top of it.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick to burn, the elemental energy in his body had already been completely used up.
"Whooosh."
Gu Hao let out a long breath, recovered some energy, immediately sat cross legged and began to meditate.
"Buzz ~ ~ ~"
The Na Yuan technique s revolved, and the surrounding natural elemental energy instantly surged towards Gu Hao.
To others, the berserk natural elemental energy was directly absorbed by Gu Hao into his body and gathered at his dantian to be compressed and refined.
This was the most thorough use of Gu Hao's elemental energy since he escaped from the dungeon. It was also the most tiring time.
For others, they might need a hall to refine and absorb the Heaven and Earth elemental energy around the plate. But to Gu Hao who was holding onto the Na Yuan technique, it was a miraculous technique, she was absorbing it frantically.
"Buzz ~ ~ ~"
Countless amounts of elemental energy gushed over, causing the river below the plate to flow even more violently as the waves soared to the heavens.
At this moment, the dense and boundless white mist seemed to have been blown away by a large amount, allowing Gu Hao's surroundings to gradually become clear.
This commotion lasted for more than four hours before it gradually calmed down.
It was at this time that Gu Hao, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed all this time, finally opened his eyes.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Two bright lights instantly shot out into the white mist.
