Chapter 217: A Non-existent River?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the sky above Zhulu County, howls of resentment filled the air and pierced through the clouds, but they stopped abruptly.

The monkey demon as well as the other Otherworldly Demons’ remains fell like rain, and their blood dyed the eyes of the human warriors red. They felt so good.

Gu Changqing only waves his hand. When some of the remains fell beside him, he automatically dodged and moved away.

People raised their heads and saw that he was shining like a savior, but also like an unshakable god of death. They could not help but stop attacking.

The space beasts that were filled with killing intent a moment ago were now hesitating.

There was a prerequisite for being fearless, and that was when one was truly in despair.

Obviously, these beasts were already at the end of their rope. If they continued to advance, they would be courting death.

However, the situation suddenly reversed.

Gu Changqing had firmly grasped their life and death.

Roar!

Xiao Hei’s tail swept out, and his majestic divine rune power shook the heavens and earth. The sonic boom that he set off was deafening. The entire county and the surrounding space trembled.

One, two, three… Seven… A group of..

All the space beasts and the Otherworldly Demons that were lucky enough to survive retreated under such powerful force.

Once they retreated, it was like a chain reaction that spread endlessly among the beasts.

They retreated slowly at the beginning, but they only wished they could run faster than the other in the end.

They were afraid that if they were a second late, they would die like the green monkey and the other Otherworldly Demons.

“Xiao Hei, kill as many as you can!”

On Gu Changqing’s forehead, the mark of the Spirit Flame shone.

Endless gray-white flames rose from the void.

The flames turned into birds that flapped their wings and flew toward the demons and space beasts closest to them.

In the sky, those ignited with flames lost the possibility of escaping and fell to the ground like rain.

On the ground, the beasts that were fleeing for their lives were swept by the birds, and grayish-white Spiritual Flames burned on their backs.

They used all sorts of methods to roll on the ground, trying to shake off the flames that were spreading on their bodies.

However, the flames were using their souls as fuel. It was impossible to be extinguished before their souls were completely burned.

Roar!

Aoooo!

Countless space beasts collided with each other and let out desperate roars. In the painful struggle, they slowly walked toward the state of their souls being destroyed. Finally, they fell to the ground and became hollow shells. Under the sky, the people who were enveloped by the Tai Chi Diagram cheered when they saw such a scene.

This was an unprecedented victory in Zhulu County’s history.

Chi Shut s eyes were moist. The human race had never given up fighting in this world. However, the result of their fight wasn’t peace.

Instead, it was the counterattacks of the Otherworldly Demons and the space beasts that intensified time and time again.

He silently shed tears as he looked at Gu Changqing in the sky, speechless for a long time.

“We don’t have to be afraid of beasts anymore!”

“We have already inherited the power of the totems’ divine runes. The future of Zhulu County will be protected by us!”

“Revenge has been taken. The fallen soldiers of our human race can rest in peace!”

People were crying and laughing, but their emotions were the same. Some of the old men did not say a word and only knelt down in front of Gu Changqing.

Worshiping totems was a tradition of the human race. Everyone only knew how to do it, but they did not know why. Until now, this “worship” seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

After the old men bowed, countless people followed closely behind, giving Gu Changqing the highest respect.

The sky gradually returned to normal.

The fierce beasts around the county were all dead, and Gu Changqing took back all his Spirit Flames. But at this moment, he made a new discovery.

After burning countless space beasts and Otherworldly Demons, the Spirit Flames had actually accumulated a large number of pure souls.

Gu Changqing’s mind moved, and the purified souls condensed into a chaotic ball of light.

“Let me try absorbing it.”

Gu Changqing activated the strange mark on his hand. Threads of pure spirit entered his sea of consciousness.

These newly joined divine souls didn’t suffer any rejection. The moment they completely fused, his sea of consciousness suddenly surged.

His divine sense then spread out like ripples.

Gu Changqing discovered that the furthest distance it could probe had increased quite a bit.

He couldn’t help but think to himself,’ It seems that I need to use the Spirit Flames to obtain more pure divine souls in the future. The benefits of a strong divine soul are really too useful!’

His sea of consciousness opened wide. Although he was absorbing the divine souls, he had been paying attention to the traces outside the sky.

The existence that had been hiding in the dark from the beginning still refused to show itself. What was it up to?

He tried to open the wormhole and search for the spatial nodes where the creature was. However, he did not know what method it had used.

Even if he opened multiple wormholes, he still found nothing.

He had thought that the existence would hide and watch the battle. Once the monkey-like Otherworldly Demon died, it would jump out on its own. However, it was very calm now.

Even though so many of the demons had died, it was still hiding in that untraceable space and refused to show itself.

What was the reason?

Perhaps there were two possibilities. The first was that the other party had personally witnessed the fate of the space beasts and had already developed enough fear toward Gu Changqing to not easily make a move.

The second was the Otherworldly Demons. This creature might think that those other demons were nothing to it, and there was no need for them to be saved.

But no matter which possibility it was, that existence was still a threat to Zhulu City and him.

Gu Changqing stared at the sky and said coldly, “I’d like to see if you’ll still be indifferent after I kill all the Otherworldly Demons out there.”

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, as if responding to his mockery. They turned into a mocking smile and then disappeared.

The black dragon roamed in all directions. After he finished sweeping, he returned to Gu Changqing’s wrist.

Gu Changqing put away the Tai Chi Diagram and landed steadily.

The people had already started to clean up the battlefield.

The city walls of this county were dyed dark red by the light green rocks. There was a foul stench everywhere, but it was accompanied with joy.

Gu Changqing found Chi Shu.

Chi Shu’s eyes were red and swollen. He quickly raised his sleeves to cover them and bowed, “I can’t thank you enough. The totem of the human race has been awakened. Zhulu County’s future is stable!” Gu Changqing nodded.

“County Lord, are there any rivers around Zhulu City?”

Chi Shu frowned and looked at Gu Changqing who was not stained with a single drop of blood, “What do you want to do with the river? Is it because the stench in the city was too strong?”

“No!” Gu Changqing shook his head and said, “I want to trace back the way I came here.”

Chi Shu was a little confused, but he thought for a moment and replied, “I grew up here, so I’m sure there are no rivers around the county.”

Gu Changqing walked out of his residence and released his spirit to scout around.

A moment later, he stood up and left the place, flying in the direction he came from..
