King's expression changed as he looked at the long, lightning-wreathed blade of Earth Sword.
The strike wasn't particularly powerful, but it gave him a very dangerous feeling.
King suddenly opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of black mist at the incoming sword.
Though Gu Qing Shan had struck first, King's attack was several times faster.
That was the difference in their strength.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Qing Shan pressed on without hesitation, bringing his sword down!
Oldest had reached a suitable distance for casting a spell. He shouted, "Holy Spirit's Protection!"
The book in his hands shuddered with a burst of sound.
A many-horned monster of unknown origin appeared before Gu Qing Shan, summoned by Oldest.
The monster opened its mouth and swallowed the black mist.
It let out a miserable shriek, then vanished in an instant.
With the monster Oldest had summoned to help him, Gu Qing Shan didn't need to think about dodging at all.
He only had to—
Charge forward.
And slash!
Thunder and Lightning Divine Power—Startling Dream!
King was struck by the sword and immediately became unable to move.
Gu Qing Shan swung his sword a second time and cut off King's hands and feet.
Just then, Oldest suddenly roared, "Retreat!"
Gu Qing Shan vanished in a flash.
The next instant, another King appeared in midair and reached out toward the spot where Gu Qing Shan had been.
Black spatial fissures appeared across his palm, turning the surrounding area into nothingness.
It was easy to imagine that if the blow had landed on Gu Qing Shan, it would have reduced him to a bloody pulp.
Fortunately, Gu Qing Shan had already dodged.
The second King didn't pursue him. He descended and merged with the first King.
King's hands and feet were restored
