Inside the small seaside pavilion, shadows erged from under Gu Nan’s feet. Any person or object touched by the shadows was instantly ground into powder.
The youth in front of Gu Nan bore the brunt of the attack and was swept under the shadows. His entire person seed to shatter inch by inch like glass, ultimately leaving no trace behind.
What also disappeared along with the youth were the floor under everyone’s feet and the surrounding walls, sofas, coffee tables, and other objects.
Fortunately, the shadows didn’t spread so quickly that people couldn’t react in ti. The other four or five guests scrambled to get up and retreated backwards at lightning speed.
These guests weren’t normal people either. Almost every single one of them had Void Cutter Realm strength. One person even tried to block the shadows with their own law.
Unfortunately, the person’s law was already crushed to pieces by the shadows before it even had ti to leave their body.
This terrifying result scared that guest so much that they didn’t dare linger any longer and fled in the blink of an eye, even abandoning any thought of visiting Xue Ren.
Not every visitor necessarily wanted to et Xue Ren. Most of them just ca to pay their respects to the Sword Sect’s higher-ups, which wasn’t anything urgent.
On the other hand, they were also eager to see what would happen to Gu Nan, the guy who dared to cause trouble in Extre Sword Heaven.
Completely engulfed in Gu Nan's shadows, most of this pavilion was corroded in the blink of an eye. A few beams on the second floor were also damaged, causing the second floor to collapse.
Miss Qu Hongye, who was supposedly taking a nap, naturally couldn’t continue sleeping any longer.
"You dared to make trouble in my Extre Sword Heaven. You must be tired of living!" A delicate shout ca from above Gu Nan's head, and along with it was a flash of sword light headed straight for him.
Qu Hongye's words carried a martial arts flavor that stood in stark contrast with this obviously modern city, which made Gu Nan feel a little strange.
The first thought he had was: ‘The NPC’s lines are so out of sync with the setting. The ga designer for this is going to get his pay docked!’
Then he shook his head again, tossing aside all irrelevant thoughts to observe the sword beam.
Based on the information Wu Gui provided, Xue Ren would probably resemble a physicist disguised as a swordsman, so Qu Hongye, his Martial Niece, should also share this characteristic.
Scientific cultivation didn’t exist in his previous life’s ga, so Gu Nan was quite interested in it.
Qu Hongye's sword beam was indeed very strange. It was clearly a direct stab, but it appeared to be a sword cloud in Gu Nan's perception.
There was no mistake. It felt as if her sword scattered and turned into a cloud of fog, all surging towards the enemy.
"So this is the wave properties of the sword?" Gu Nan couldn't help revealing a faint smile.
It looked like Extre Sword Heaven’s so-called "wave properties" were at least on the level of quantum theory, which maintained that all matter has intrinsic wave properties. The attacks weren’t as basic as the wave crests and troughs of middle school physics.
The next mont, Gu Nan grabbed the sword beam with his hand.
Qu Hongye originally looked very confident, but her smile suddenly froze on her face.
Her wave sword already reached minor attainnt, and her own strength was also Void Cutter Realm. Even top-tier Void Cutters would still have to block this carefully, but… ‘This person actually grabbed it with his bare hand?’
If you asked a swordmaster what kind of opponent was the most annoying, then enemies with great speed, strength, or cultivation realm ranked further down. The answer was an opponent whose defense they couldn’t break through.
Gu Nan belonged to this category.
Let alone Qu Hongye, even many enemies in the sa realm as Gu Nan found it hard to break through his defense. The Evil God physique of an Evil God who took the pure combat route was too strong.
Gu Nan studied the longsword in his hand but found it to be no different from a normal sword. Of course a sword that was forcibly held could no longer oscillate.
After studying it for a while longer and confirming that he really couldn’t see anything special, Gu Nan lost interest in further observations.
Be it his past or present life, Gu Nan wasn’t soone suited to be the top student. He only knew how to play gas.
"I'm looking for Xue Ren," Gu Nan slowly walked up to Qu Hongye and said flatly.
After taking a good look, one would find that Qu Hongye's appearance was very interesting. A small handful of hair on her forehead was dyed red, and her right ear had ear piercings. She looked like a female delinquent.
But she was also wearing an incomparably standard Daoist robe and had a wooden scabbard slung over her back. Her attire and aura were perfectly mismatched.
The Daoist-robed delinquent girl didn’t look scared at all. Rather, she stared at him with an interested look and asked, “Why are you looking for my Martial Uncle?"
Information about the Heaven-God Alliance shouldn’t be revealed to outsiders, and Gu Nan was also too lazy to make up a reason, so he bluntly replied, “Can’t say.”
Qu Hongye’s expression suddenly darkened. She thought about it and asked a new question, "Then what’s your na? Even if I take you to et Martial Uncle, I still need to give him a na…"
"Just tell where he is. I’ll find him myself," Gu Nan refused blandly.
He found the entire process of informing soone to inform soone else too troubleso. Even etings between Star Rulers seldom had use for ssengers—because as long as the visiting Star Ruler knew the location, their arrival would quickly alert the local Star Ruler.
When had Qu Hongye ever seen a visitor like Gu Nan before? It just so happened that she herself had a fearless personality, so she imdiately turned her head away. "Want to lead the way? Then beg !"
Crack!
The girl delinquent imdiately felt a sharp pain from her leg as a numbing crack traveled over. Gu Nan had stomped down on her leg, breaking the bone.
"Where is Xue Ren?" Gu Nan didn’t even bother adding any inflection to his voice.
"Y-y-y-you! If you’re so incredible, then kill— ah no, wrong line. W-w-w-wait!" Qu Hongye was in so much pain that she even started stamring, but she changed her tune quite fast.
So Gu Nan slowly withdrew the shadows that had already reached out. If Qu Hongye refused, he certainly didn’t mind refining her into a shadow servant first and then slowly asking questions.
But since she was willing to lead the way, Gu Nan could save energy and skip this step.
Of course players preferred the simplest, most efficient thod. If they could be idle during sothing, then even one extra click of the mouse was considered a waste of energy.
"Lead the way."
Qu Hongye struggled to stand up, not even having the ti to care about her broken leg. She revealed a strange smile and giggled. "Then follow !"
While saying this, she flicked her hand and sent a ssage through the rune in her hand.
……
Outside the Sword Sect’s mountain gates, a young man and woman dressed in Daoist robes were surveying the scene from above.
"Junior Martial Sister Qu is in the Wutong District. She should’ve already arrived by now if she was bringing soone over. Why isn't she here yet?" The man sounded a little anxious.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" His female companion grumbled, "Junior Martial Sister said that person can catch her wave sword barehanded, so he’s likely to be a Star Ruler powerhouse. That’s why we need to retreat quickly when they arrive."
The man revealed a bitter smile. "The only reason we’re still here is because I can’t restrain the sword beast any longer… I would’ve asked Master for help if I’d known this earlier."
The woman was almost driven mad by him. She poked his head angrily. "Think with your head! If you asked Master, would Master let us both out? Would he be willing to avenge Junior Sister Qu?"
"Hey! Don't push …" The man lost his balance from her jab. His movents suddenly beca flustered, and the hand seal he was maintaining also dissipated.
His heart froze slightly as he subconsciously glanced behind him, only to see a giant ape as tall as ten people rushing forward with a great roar.
"It's over…"
