The trident that had been able to summon the spring had been knocked away by Gu Qingshan. The fountain no longer burbled with running water.
Corpses littered the ground.
The only shame was the King—
Before Gu Qingshan could react, the powerful Divine Scion had been drained of his soul and flesh by the Black Trident, leaving behind nothing but a thin Human Skin.
Everything in the garden fell silent.
The headless fishman corpse stood in the fountain basin, holding up its shield.
The vertical eye on the shield stared fixedly at Gu Qingshan.
The vertical eye saw that its opponent had removed the black cloth from his face. He stared back at it without expression.
This prey actually dared to inspect it without a trace of fear.
"Damn you..."
The vertical eye muttered in a venomous tone.
Gu Qingshan acted as though he hadn't heard.
As long as the Golden Ring was still in my hands, the monster couldn't hurt me.
He stopped looking at the monster and casually set Earth Sword and Six Realms God Mountain Sword in the void, letting them disappear into it.
Then he patted his Storage Bag, took out a Prayer Mat, and sat down on it.
The monster silently observed everything he did, until Gu Qingshan formed a hand seal, closed his eyes, and began resting while regulating his breathing.
As time passed, Gu Qingshan's breathing gradually became steady and rhythmic.
Was he...
asleep?
The vertical eye on the shield suddenly widened, filling the entire surface.
"Bastard!"
The monster roared furiously.
The entire garden trembled violently beneath its roar.
Some of the more timid trees shrank straight back into the ground.
Gu Qingshan was naturally jolted awake.
He opened his eyes and looked at the monster in confusion.
"What are you yelling for?"
