  In front of Gu Qing Shan.

  The village had already been erased from the face of the earth.

  Gu Qing Shan sheathed his sword.

  According to known intel, a Sealed rank Apocalypse had manifested in the Gloom Galaxy, so a large number of Combatants had been dispatched to various worlds within this galaxy, preparing to either destroy or seal this Apocalypse away.

  He took out his ID card and lightly pressed it.

  A spark of light emerged from the ID card, manifesting a line of text in the air:

  [Hitman codename Dragon King of Atrocity Jail, your mission is to search the Gloomy Forest world for any apocalyptic monsters and exterminate them]

  [This is a free combat mission, please try to kill as many monsters as possible]

  Gu Qing Shan silently pondered, then raised his hand and clenched.

  —-[Blessing of past worlds]!

  This was his recognition, as well as his method to communicate with worlds.

  Through this method, this world should be able to sense him, then it would arrive to communicate and cooperate with him to triumph against the Apocalypse together!

  Gu Qing Shan silently waited.

  A few moments later.

  No supernatural phenomena, and no whispers.

  While Gu Qing Shan was surprised, his expression changed.

  An intense wave of yellow sand was blown into the air, caught by the strong wind, and manifested an insane tornado of sand.

  In an instant, the tornado had already arrived to swallow him up.

  With sweeping sands covering the sky above, Gu Qing Shan found his surroundings becoming dark.

  He stood in the middle of the sandstorm while wielding his sword, unmoving.

  A second later, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

  [The system was also unable to sense the existence of the will of the world]

  [The following conclusion has been drawn: the will of the world is dead]

  [Following this, each of your summon will draw an attack from the Apocalypse]

  [The Final Sandstorm had sensed you]

  [The second destruction shall now begin]

  Gu Qing Shan froze, then felt a chill rising up his back.

  Some shadows silently began to spread within his mind.

  Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, wielded both the twin swords Heaven and Earth, then silently waited inside the intense sandstorm.

  A second later.

  From the intense sandstorm, a portion of the sand gathered to form a cavalry knight in full armor on his horse.

  “I have awakened from deep inside the Apocalypse, here to lead a soul into eternal slumber”


  The knight blankly declared.

  Gu Qing Shan stood still with his sword, silently sensing the other party’s power fluctuations.

  Compared to the soldier from before, this cavalry knight was several stages stronger.

  Gu Qing Shan’s eye twitched, then asked: “Are you alive or dead?”


  The cavalry knight pointed his sword towards Gu Qing Shan and replied:

  “When the Apocalypse strips you of everything, you will realize that both life and death are nothing but laughable lies, just like the defenses you rely upon”


  As he spoke, Gu Qing Shan suddenly looked down.

  The leather armor granted to him by the Hitman Guild instantly crumbled into fine sand that was scattered away by the wind.

  Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.

  Gu Qing Shan’s heart was heavy.

  Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

  [The Final Sandstorm had corroded a defensive item you’re wearing]

  [Attention, the moment you lost your defenses, the battle had begun!]

  The knight urged his horse and slowly accelerated.

  He reached his top speed almost immediately——-

  Wielding his sword, the cavalry knight relied on the speed of his horse to rush towards Gu Qing Shan as a blurred image!

  Gu Qing Shan’s gaze became sharp, took a single step forward, and met the other party with his sword.

  The knight was fast, but Gu Qing Shan’s sword was faster!

  Both swords clashed.

  A deafening noise rang out as the Earth sword blocked the knight’s sword.

  “Yah!”


  Gu Qing Shan shouted as he sent both the knight and his horse flying into the air.

  Offense and defense had been switched!

  In an instant, Gu Qing Shan pursued them like a shadow, the Heaven sword in his other hand drawing a cold gleaming arc.

  The knight had no choice but to wield the sword with both hands to prevent Gu Qing Shan’s first strike.

  Their swords crossed again, but without waiting for the knight to react, the stronger second strike had already slashed forward——


  Followed by the third.

  While it seemed slow, everything actually happened in just the blink of an eye.

  All sword techniques, all tactics, none of it was better than pure speed.

  Every next strike more powerful than the last, every following strike stronger than the previous one, the three consecutive slashes in the air had cut down both the knight and his horse.

  Gu Qing Shan’s enemy heavily crashed into the ground.

  The horse only managed to neigh a single time before turning back into sand and disappeared.

  The knight still managed to prop himself up and stared straight at Gu Qing Shan.

  “What kind of swordsmanship is this?” he asked.

  “Despairing Rise, the defending sword” Gu Qing Shan replied.

  “A great technique” the knight praised.

  “Of course it is, if you’re willing to let go of the Apocalypse, I’ll teach you” Gu Qing Shan replied.

  The knight fell silent.

  His figure slowly flaked off into pieces of sand, scattering into the wind.

  “What exactly are you?” Gu Qing Shan asked with a heavy tone.

  The knight didn’t answer him and muttered in a low voice: “Life is…… how ridiculous”


  He thoroughly disappeared into sand and faded away from Gu Qing Shan’s sight.

  The sandstorm that surrounded Gu Qing Shan slowly calmed down.

  A line of glowing text appeared in the void:

  [The Apocalypse’s second destruction towards you has failed]

  Gu Qing Shan was a bit confused, unable to help himself asking: “What kind of Apocalypse is this?”


  The War God UI replied: [There isn’t enough information, the only thing currently known is that it’s a sandstorm-related Apocalypse. For now, it is the same type as the Final Sandstorm]

  “For now? Tell me clearer”


  [The Final Sandstorm is an Unsolvable Apocalypse, but it is capable of growth, no one can be sure to which degree it would grow]

  Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank.

  Gu Qing Shan’s expression was dim, his thoughts tossing and turning.

  Suddenly, he noticed something and hurriedly took out his ID card.

  A screen of light was projected from the ID card to display the newest notification:

  [Attention all participants of the mission]

  [The Apocalypse over Gloom Galaxy has been reevaluated, adjusting its ranking from Sealed to Unsolvable]

  [The mission allotted to each individual had been changed, please check your own ID cards for updated missions]

  Gu Qing Shan tapped his ID card.

  The missions issued to him appeared:

  [Hitman codename Dragon King of Atrocity Jail, please head to Gloom Fire Town 26,000km Northward of your position and participate in the town defense mission]

  After double-checking, Gu Qing Shan put his ID card away.

  His heart sank further.

  Gazing North, Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a few moments.

  After a bit of thought, Gu Qing Shan took out a colorful rooster.
