A gale swept in from afar.
Wind and snow swirled wildly.
It took a good while for the shockwave of the explosion to finally subside.
"What exactly happened?" the Snake-Headed Humanoid Monster asked uneasily.
"We'll talk later," Gu Qingshan said.
His entire body turned into Lightning Radiance. In an instant, he crossed the vast land and returned to the site of the explosion.
--
The range of mountains had been flattened. The land lay empty and desolate, with hardly an obstacle in sight.
Only one enormous, pitch-black figure lay motionless on the ground.
The Qilin!
"Dead?" Gu Qingshan muttered, slowly walking over.
He gazed at the Qilin's corpse, lost in thought.
There was no one around.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly—
Clang!
He drew his long saber and gave it a few graceful flourishes in the wind.
It was an ordinary mortal saber, already badly damaged in the earlier battle. Its blade was pitted and dented all over.
--Even with the Qilin dead, this saber wouldn't be able to scratch its corpse.
Gu Qingshan whistled, then gently laid the saber on the Qilin.
Clang!
The sound of metal striking rang out, and the saber's radiance grew brighter.
Blue-white lightning flared from Gu Qingshan's body. Saber in hand, he repeatedly hacked at the Qilin's corpse.
That's right.
He was hacking at a corpse.
Time slowly passed.
The tribulation lightning reappeared in the sky, drifting in every direction, one bolt after another.
As Gu Qingshan swung his saber, the Heavenly Lightning gathered once more, like a vast river of stars.
