World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 571

“Gu Qing Shan!”
“Gu Qing Shan!”
“Gu Qing Shan!”

Laura shouted anxiously.

“What?” Gu Qing Shan finally replied.

“How do we prepare the battle formation?”

She looked at her guards around the black horse, then at the army of ghosts that they were just about to crash into.

“Charge straight in and eliminate them” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He took out a formation plate as he said that, quickly preparing several dozen large-scale war formations in a row.

Layer upon layer of formations rose from the formation plate to cover the entire squad.

“Everyone, prepare your defenses” Gu Qing Shan ordered.

“What about attack?” someone couldn't help but ask.

 Gu Qing Shan didn't reply.

Just as the squad was about to crash straight into the army of ghosts------

Gu Qing Shan suddenly shouted: “Array activate!”

With his command.

From the back of this cavalry squad, from the vast plains, from the high sky above, from the endless sea of clouds, wind began to blow.

The Earth sword.

Chao Yin sword.

Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

All three swords had arrived at the sea of clouds from moments unknown.

They quickly dashed around the thick clouds, moving with speeds that had transcended speed itself.

As they moved, they left behind images of swords one after another, quickly forming a unique formation array-----

1 sword,
10 swords,
100 swords,
1000 swords,
10000 swords,
100000 swords.

An enormous formation created purely out of swords was manifesting!

At a certain point, all the sword images stopped in place and let off a rattling sound.

Taiyi Sword Array.

Formed!

Hoh hoh hoh hoh hoh------

The intense wind blew all the way to the sky, sweeping even the clouds above away.

Instead, a sword array filled with killing intent replaced the layer of clouds, spreading all over the sky.

Abruptly, all the sword images moved.

The invisible storm of swords descended from above onto the plains below.

The gentle breeze swept across the ground, quickly catching up to the black horse.

The breeze gathered to slowly form a gust, quickly overtaking the cavalry and crashed into the army of ghosts ahead.

Without a sound or warning, the gust had weaved itself among the army of millions.

Boom!

An abrupt explosion of wind!!!

A large portion of the ghost army simply disappeared, as if they were erased from this world.

Wherever the sword storm passed, without a single sound, everything simply died.

The ranks of the ghost army were eaten through, forming a straight and wide path for them to take.

Gu Qing Shan and the guards kept galloping forward on the path created by the wind.

Whenever a ghost or revenant tried to get in their way, it would easily be blown to dust by the sword storm.

『 -----void-------that------wind!  』

A huge commander ghost noticed the bad situation and shouted an order.

The ghost army quickly parted to either side.

Indeed, the range of the sword storm was huge.

But the plains were bigger, as long as they avoided it and waited until the storm had passed, there would easily be a lot of ghosts that survived.

At that time, it still wouldn't be too late to surround and kill them.

Which created this strange scene below.

The huge army of ghosts and revenants kept parting to make way while the small squad of 11 horses easily galloped through

The black horse kept charging forward, taking the group of 16 guards together with it towards Tidal city.

While sitting on the horse, Gu Qing Shan was still paying attention to his rocketing Soul Points value.

But at a certain point, the speed had slowed down.

Gu Qing Shan glanced around to see the ghosts were quickly fleeing.

“We're almost there, Tidal city is just ahead!” Laura excitedly shouted.

“Indeed, your Royal Highness!”

The guards also joyfully replied.

At first, they thought this to be a suicide mission, but it seemed like they won't have to die.

Everyone was glad and morale was high.

Only Gu Qing Shan was regretfully looking at the fleeing ghosts.

------those are all Soul Points…
Wait a minute.
Wait wait wait.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly remembered something.

He checked his newest [War God Title]: [Starflame War God]

[Equipping the title: Starflame War God, you will receive a unique skill: Conquer]
[Conquer: When you use this skill, every enemy you target will be compelled with a legitimate reason to attack you]
[Note: This Skill belongs to the Mystic-type, a Causality Skill, unavoidable] (1)
[Note: To conquer or be conquered, that is the question]

What if… I try it here?

Doing beats thinking, so Gu Qing Shan immediately changed out his previous title [Talented General] to [Starflame War God].

As soon as he equipped it, he selected the entire army of ghosts as the target and activated his unique Skill: [Conquer]

At the same time, the situation of the battlefield changed.

For some reason, the commander ghost noticed Gu Qing Shan.

It looked at Gu Qing Shan, then at the giant sword array in the sky.

With a single glance, it noticed the same sword qi on Gu Qing Shan as the thing in the sky.

I see!

The commander ghost swung its weapon, pointing at Gu Qing Shan and shouted: 『 Kill-------him------or------wind------won't------stop!  』

The fleeing army of ghosts stopped when they heard that.

Countless of their kin had died at Gu Qing Shan's hands.

But they could only run.

An army against a mere dozen people, yet they were running so desperately!

The ghost army was already agitated with anger.

Now that their commander had issued the order, they no longer needed to control their bloodthirsty nature.

Roar!!!

The army of ghosts scrambled towards Gu Qing Shan.

They wanted to kill him!

In mere seconds, the fleeing army changed directions again, all charging into the sword storm!

Even if they had to sacrifice a few, they were determined to get through the sword storm and kill that human!

However, how could mere foot soldiers endure the power of a 32-fold [Taiyi Sword Array]?

Like a meat grinder, the sword storm spun and spun, easily erasing the army of ghosts in large portions at a time.

Laura and her guards were all stunned when they saw this.

“What the? Are the ghosts dumb?” one of the guards asked.

“It can't be, maybe they're hoping to kill him?” another guard refuted him hesitantly.

The guards all looked to Gu Qing Shan.

While Gu Qing Shan was focused on his Soul Points value.

Since the army of ghosts were throwing themselves into the sword array to be killed, his Soul Points was rocketing again.

Great!

Gu Qing Shan happily raised his eyebrows.

But soon, the army of ghosts couldn't endure it anymore.

They once again turned around, trying to flee.

Ridiculous! This type of wind isn't something I can endure, let the other dumb ghosts run to their death!

Seeing the increase of his Soul Points slowing down, Gu Qing Shan squinted.

-----that's no good, using the 32-fold sword array cost me 100,000 Soul Points, if I can't get it all back when I have the chance, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

He looked back at the title [Starflame War God] on the War God UI, gritted his teeth and activated the Skill [Conquer] again.

As soon as the skill was activated, the ghosts sensed something.

-----they sensed that the sword storm was dissipating.

This attack is finally running out of power!!!

The ghosts were all so glad they wanted to cry.

Being chased by this terrifying kind of wind, even one slip could end in death was branding immense fear on the ghost army.

Good, good, your attack is about to end.
Then we're charging again!
Roarr!!!

The army of ghosts once again turned around and charged towards Gu Qing Shan's group.

No-----they were charging at Gu Qing Shan himself!

They wanted to tear him piece by piece while he was still alive!

The 16 guards all became cautious and got ready to receive the attacks.

Everyone also noticed the sword storm was calming down.

Which meant, they will soon have to risk their lives!

“Prepare yourselves!” Laura loudly declared.

She then lowered her head and whispered to ask him: “Gu Qing Shan, is your attack about to end?”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the tsunami of approaching ghosts and fell silent briefly.

He muttered to reply: “Ah, this is the sign of the sword array finishing its encirclement, now we're about to begin”

Now we're about… to begin?

Laura was stunned.

She couldn't help but look up.

There wasn't a single cloud in the sky.

The winds overhead were sharply howling.

And then…

Oom-----

Like a true waterfall, the gust of wind crashed down from above.

The sword storm once again clashed with the army of ghosts.

It swept through.

A large portion of the ghost army was erased.

The wind kept sweeping.

An entire army squadron was gone.

To the army of ghosts, this was the start of a horrifying massacre.

Within the howling, crying and screams, the ghosts wanted to flee again.

----they changed direction, running away with all their might.

But the sword array's encirclement had already been completed, where else were they going to run?

One sweep, eliminated.

One sweep, decimated.

One sweep, annihilated.

The Soul Points value on the War God UI was increasing at an exponential rate.

Gu Qing Shan was silently very glad.

“No good, Gu Qing Shan, quickly take a look!”

Laura hurriedly tapped Gu Qing Shan and said.

Gu Qing Shan looked up.

The end of the plains was in sight.

While they weren't paying attention, the squad had already ran past the whole army of ghosts and was about to reach Tidal city.

But Tidal city was in horrible shape.

After long and intense battles, one of Tidal city's walls had already crumbled.

The army of ghosts over there were roaring triumphantly.

They had already begun to invade Tidal city!

Laura nervously said: “Gu Qing Shan, Ilya herself is wounded, they might not be able to hold on”

“I can see that, we're picking up speed”

Gu Qing Shan urged his horse.

Indeed, without the city wall and how quickly the ghost army could move, Ilya was unlikely to stop them.

The situation became very serious.

How can I quickly help them alleviate the pressure…

Gu Qing Shan looked at the city and quickly made a decision.

A moment later, he activated his unique Skill [Conquer] again, targeting all the ghosts laying siege to the city.

At the same time, a particularly huge revenant appeared on the top of the mountain.

Its roar shook the heaven and earth: 『 There's a tough bastard on the plains, he's the key to ending this battle, all troops, kill him!  』

The ghosts all answered.

Roar!!!

The army of ghosts quickly gave up the city and reorganized themselves to march down the mountain.

They were quickly heading for Gu Qing Shan.

In the city, quite a few ancient life forms had transformed and were covered in blood, ready to risk their life on a final stand to die along with the enemy.

At the last moment, their enemies suddenly retreated.

What the hell-----

The ancient life forms were completely stunned, unable to understand what was happening.

The 16 guards on the plains were also shocked.

“They gave up sieging the city and came for us?” a guard couldn't help but comment.

“This is a strategy, to strike reinforcement before they are ready” another guard tried justifying it.

“No, you're both wrong, perhaps the ghost army actually craves to fight with a true Combatant” another guard spoke with a tone of respect.

Gu Qing Shan stared at the tsunami of approaching enemies and went silent.

I really couldn't believe [Starflame War God]'s unique Skill [Conquer] would be able to be applied this way.
This Skill alone changed the flow of the entire war.

“System, this title, [Starflame War God] is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?” he silently said.

[Ting]!

The War God UI replied.

[Please pay special attention, the suffix of this title is ‘War God', representing the War God's exclusive Skill]
[Furthermore, you need to understand what a Causality Skill really is]
