Gu Qingshan walked along the empty streets and quietly recalled what had happened earlier that day. Gu Qingshan walked along the empty streets and quietly recalled what had happened earlier that day. 

Nie Yun’s reaction proved that he wasn’t the one behind Zhang Ye. 

Perhaps it was really like what Nie Yun had said. Gu Qingshan had become too close to Su Xue’er, and all those people who had had their eyes on her hated him to the core. 

He was going to graduate soon, so some of these rich young men with more vicious ideas had started to think about how to deal with him.

These people were really disgusting too. If they were so great, then they should go and woo Su Xue’er themselves. What were they doing, attacking poor students like himself? 

Gu Qingshan was filled with contempt for them. But after a while, his thoughts started to wander further away.

It was still a year away from the start of the game, so this period of time was the last peaceful days that the human world would see. 

One year was enough for him to gain a strong footing in the other world. 

As for the time he spent in the real world, Gu Qingshan thought about it and felt that he would really like to spend it at university.

The environment in the universities was good, with many important mecha research institutions set up within the universities. Even the universities set up by the military invented and developed many weapons. 

The first batch of players that had entered the game had been made up mostly of university students and lecturers, so he had a higher chance here. 

He could prepare for the coming of the apocalypse in the university and rest in between battles, or find a few people to make unique discoveries. 

Gu Qingshan was thinking about these things when he suddenly noticed five or six drunk young men across the street from him. 

These young men were covered in tattoos, with hair dyed bright yellow and staggering toward him under the dim streetlamps. 

The pavement on this street wasn’t very wide, so they took up all the space by walking side by side. 

Gu Qingshan frowned and tried to let them pass. 

Gu Qingshan wasn’t sure if it was on purpose or not, but when the two sides were about to pass each other, one of the blonde young men turned and was going to knock into Gu Qingshan. 

As a cultivator with ten years of battling experience involving countless deaths, there was no way Gu Qingshan would allow an ordinary person to just walk into him like this. 

Gu Qingshan turned and avoided the oncoming party. 

The blonde young man staggered a few steps out before regaining his balance. Gu Qingshan had actually dodged him. The young man yelled, “You little punk! How dare you knock into me?! Bros, whack him!” 

Once he’d shouted that, all the drunken stupor on these young men completely disappeared. 

“Now!” 

The few of them gave a low shout as they pulled out daggers and charged toward Gu Qingshan.

“Oh, so that’s what’s happening.” Gu Qingshan immediately understood when he saw this. 

These people were obviously here to attack him. 

If they really just wanted to fight because they were drunk, they wouldn’t pull knives out. 

Even if one was groggy from having too much to drink, it couldn’t be that all of them were like this. 

These young men moved very quickly. With one breath, the first one had already dashed forward and swung his dagger toward Gu Qingshan’s heart. 

This swing was quick and fierce, so if he really had stabbed it into Gu Qingshan, he would’ve died immediately. 

These were professionals! 

Gu Qingshan’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly moved a few steps to avoid the dagger and ran into the young man’s chest. 

“Ha!” 

He opened his palm and used it to strike the other party. 

The young man spun and flew out, knocking into all the men behind him. 

The few of them howled in pain as if they had just been hit by a flying cow, then fell to the ground and couldn’t stop groaning.

They looked at the young man who had been sent flying toward them. There was a huge indention in his chest, and he wasn’t breathing anymore.

Gu Qingshan was also shaken by this. 

“Crap, I forgot, we’re not in the last days yet…” he mumbled. 

The only young man left standing tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart as he shouted fiercely, “Whack him!” 

What sort of strength did this guy have? He used only one palm to kill this Martial Arts practitioner, and the others behind had also all collapsed onto the ground. 

This was no joke. These accomplices were all One or Two Star Martial Arts practitioners, but they were all sprawled on the ground and didn’t even have the strength to move anymore. 

This guy was a monster! 

The scarier part was how he hadn’t even seen how this guy had managed to do this. 

Judging from his terrifying ability, this guy was probably at least a Seven Star practitioner. 

Or maybe he was a Martial Arts Master who had surpassed the Nine Star stage. 

What he didn’t know was that the only thing that’d happened was that Gu Qingshan had forgotten to hold himself back and added Spirit Power to his own palm. 

Without Spirit Power, a cultivator at Qi Refiner Level 2 was only equivalent to a Four Star practitioner. 

But because he had used Spirit Power, the level of damage had increased by several times. 

The few young men’s expressions had all changed, and they started pulling guns out. 

They had initially planned to create a scene where they got into a fight after getting drunk and accidentally killed someone in the process. That way, nobody would smell a rat. 

But they hadn’t expected this normal looking student to be this ferocious when he attacked! 

Under such circumstances, they couldn’t continue with their original plan anymore. They were just going to kill him first. 

Gu Qingshan immediately knew what they were going to do when he saw their actions. A bow appeared in his hands from nowhere. 

His movement was always faster than these people. 

Pak pak pak pak pak pak! 

Gu Qingshan’s hands became mere shadows as he shot out six arrows in a flash. 

Rapid Shot! 

Five of them weren’t even sure who had been shot first, but the arrows penetrated their heads. 

Only the last young man behind was shot through the palm, and he dropped the gun in his hands as he barely managed to remain standing. 

He realized Gu Qingshan was going to kill him, so the young man quickly knelt down to beg for mercy. “Spare me, please spare me! I admit defeat! Please, leave me a way to escape death! Tell me how I can redeem this lowly life of mine! I’ll do it for you!” 

Gu Qingshan asked, “Who sent you?” 

After hearing this question, he glanced at the five headless corpses on the ground and his heart was filled with fear and anger. 

The fear was because their target had been so coldblooded and finished off everyone on his side.

The anger was because the person who’d hired them obviously hadn’t gotten his information right, or he was trying to kill off cheap assassins like them. 

Regardless of what the actual situation was, he wasn’t going to let that guy who hired them off lightly. 

With this thought in mind, he trembled and replied, “The person who hired us to attack you was Ferocious Tiger from the Nie family.” 

“Very good. I like honest people.” 

Gu Qingshan slowly walked over and took back all his arrows. 

These were special arrows made for battle and could be filled with Spirit Power, so it was a little bit of a waste to use them on ordinary people. 

If Gu Qingshan’s cultivation level hadn’t been so low, he wouldn’t have used the bow. Qi Refiner Level 2 wasn’t able to dodge bullets yet. 

But the truth of the matter was clear. It was Nie Yun, all right. 

But since the Nie family was a large aristocratic family in Changning County, there were countless highly skilled fighters in their house. They didn’t just have Martial Arts Masters, but they also had Chosen Ones and Elemental Arts Experts. 

“Nie Yun… given the way he does things, he’s not going to let this go.” 

Gu Qingshan thought about what he remembered about Nie Yun and mumbled this to himself. 

If this sort of person was bent on attacking him, then things would become very difficult. At such a time, everything would be solved if he only had a sword in hand. 

The sort of sword that was found in the cultivation world. 

Suddenly, Gu Qingshan went into a daze. 

He was confused for a moment. 

He seemed to be nearly able to recall some of his past battles. He was trying to recall some old memories when an external force stepped in. 

Then, Gu Qingshan went into the daze. 

“System, did you seal my old memories?” 

After he asked this question, a row of words appeared on the War God Operating Interface. 

“I still have not shaken off those keeping a close eye on the Space-time Turbulence. If discovered, the consequences are difficult to predict. Please be careful with your words and actions.”

“When can I recover my memories?” 

“You have to travel to the cultivation world one or two more times.” 

Gu Qingshan whacked his forehead.

Rebirth had brought about some unforeseeable consequences.

So he could only take one step at a time. 

He used Spirit Sense to scan his surroundings as he dumped all the dead bodies into his storage bag. 

Storage bags could store anything that wasn’t alive. It was originally meant for cultivators to carry supplements and weapons, but now it was just nice for storing dead bodies and to get rid of all evidence. 

Then, the next time Gu Qingshan went to the other world, he would throw these dead bodies into the mass grave and nobody would be able to find any sign that these people had even existed before.
