"Kill Mu? Why would you think I wanted to kill him?" Atley said with a laugh.
Gu Qingshan ignored him and said, "When we were in danger, you and Reneedol abandoned us and left. I can't imagine why you've come back now."
Atley shook his head. "We were companions, after all. I don't want things to get too ugly. Give me everything Mu has, and I'll let you leave."
Wind Cyan Long Blades rose from his body, gathering in rows behind him.
One of the blades vanished for an instant.
Rumble—
The earth split open, a crack stretching all the way to Gu Qingshan's feet.
Atley said smugly, "Rod, leave everything Mu has, and you can take Mu, Qi Ruo, and Chi Hu with you."

The bird became boiling black flames, swirling behind Gu Qingshan before condensing into a Black Long-handled Scythe.
Gu Qingshan reached out and gripped the scythe. "Where does your confidence come from? What makes you think I'll meekly hand over Mu's things?"
He tapped his foot and suddenly darted toward Atley.
Atley's eyes turned fierce. He roared, "Cut him down!"
Dozens of Wind Cyan Long Blades shot from behind him, meeting the Dark Scythe in Gu Qingshan's hands.
Blue light and black flames collided, shooting straight into the sky.
The light of day went into disarray. A fierce gale swept through, scattering the clouds completely.
Gu Qingshan rode the wind back and landed where he had been standing. He swung his scythe and said, "I only used a tenth of my strength. If you want to die, I'll grant your wish with my next strike."
Atley took a step back,
