Gu Qing Shan placed Laura back on his shoulder.

Laura glanced back up at the 600-floor skyscraper and couldnt help but tremble from fear.

She never thought she would actually fly down from such a high place ever before.

Every battle was fierce, but concluded in a mere 2-3 exchanges.

If it were someone else observing, they would think that Gu Qing Shan won them very easily.

But having been trained by the very best since birth, Laura had nurtured a pair of sharp discerning eyes for most things, including battle.

She knew full well just how dangerous that was.

Some of those times, Gu Qing Shans life was hanging by a single thread.

But that was where his true strength lied.

In a situation where his life was on the line, Gu Qing Shan would always make sure that his opponent was the one to die first.

Sighing deeply, Laura lightly stroked Gu Qing Shans shoulder pad.

This armor was originally damaged, after going through so many harsh battles consecutively, it got even more dents and deeper cuts than before, some of which almost cut through the armor itself.

This armor

Is really bad.

Gu Qing Shan didnt know what Laura was thinking about.

He was staring at the [Kindling] UI.

If this mission is over, give me the next one

He said.

After a few seconds, [Kindling]s voice came again.

[Your mission has been prepared]

[What comes next is a long journey, you must traverse through the entire frozen wasteland to reach the location of the next mission]

Through the entire frozen wasteland?

Gu Qing Shan muttered.

Just before, while he was on the top of the 600-floor skyscraper, he already observed the frozen wasteland.

the frozen wasteland was so vast that even standing as high as he did, he still couldnt see the end of it.

This journey will truly be a long and arduous trek.

I wonder if Su Xue Er is still on the frozen wasteland.

That girl how is she now?

Gu Qing Shan held his sword tight.

Were going he told Laura.

Yes Laura regained her composure and quickly replied.

Gu Qing Shan lowered his body slightly.

Laura immediately called out: What are you doing!

Flying, since itll be quicker Gu Qing Shan spoke.

Do not fly, I just got back on the ground Laura protested.

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out an airship.

A wonderful calligraphed character Shan was painted on the side of the ship.

This was a masterpiece that came from Qin Xiao Lous hands, as long as you had spirit energy to spend, it would always fly much faster than other airships.

There was a small but intricate cabin on the airship.

Laura jumped on to check it.

As she closed the door of the cabin, the airships spirit funnel formation activated.

The cabin was closed off from the outside, it had spirit energy to sooth the mind, a few snacks on the table and even a pot of spirit tea brewing on the stove.

it was very comfortable in the cabin, and you couldnt see what height you were currently at from inside.

Strands of spirit energy appeared and quickly got absorbed into Lauras body through her skin.

Silently enjoying it for a bit, Laura smiled.

She then jumped back out and spoke: Good enough

Can we go now? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Laura hesitantly spoke: Would it count as cheating if we do this?

Probably

What?

We came here to cheat in the first place

If that is the case

Laura flipped her backpack around and rummaged inside.

Gu Qing Shan waited for a bit longer.

Got it, we will use this Laura took out a whistle, giving it to Gu Qing Shan.

What is this? Gu Qing Shan asked.

A whistle to summon the steed of the Great Devil of Purgatory, my father used the seed of a newborn world to exchange for it

Laura insisted on using it: It is much faster than your ship, and since it will be running on the ground, I can feel assured

Why dont you use it then?

It is too big for me. Someone else needs to ride it and carry me Laura glanced at him.

Gu Qing Shan then placed the whistle on his mouth and blew.

As soon as the sound of the whistle came, a black horse suddenly appeared in front of them.

The Wings of Purgatory, at your service hopefully I didnt scare you, dear summoners it spoke in a low voice.

Gu Qing Shan picked up Laura and jumped on the horse.

Do you know how to ride it? Laura looked at his anxious expression and asked.

I just learnt yesterday Gu Qing Shan replied.

The frozen wasteland was silent.

Laura gave him a look of disbelief: You do not even know how to ride a horse, and your girlfriend still likes you?

She was teaching me Gu Qing Shan helplessly answered.

That was right, he only just learnt how to ride a horse when they went into Infini-worlds Town, so he was still a bit anxious.

Summoners, there is no need for concern, I can run by myself the black horse spoke.

Gu Qing Shan sighed from relief and pointed at the deep end of the frozen wasteland: Were going that way, there might be a few enemies on the way, please be careful

I need to ask one question first, are you in a hurry, or do you just want to take a stroll? the black horse asked.

Gu Qing Shan replied: Were in a hurry, so please

Boom!!!

The black horse turned into a gust of wind and disappeared on the spot.

In just the blink of an eye, it had already turned into a black dot on the horizon.

On another side.

The deep end of the frozen wasteland.

Su Xue Er was moving forward alone in the howling wind.

At a certain point, she noticed that she was about to reach the end of the frozen wasteland.

In the far end of her sight, the frozen wasteland was already gone, replaced instead by a grand structure.

Although she didnt know what it was, Su Xue Er quickened her step.

The frozen wasteland was simply too cold for her constitution.

More importantly, she only had 11 Soul Points left and couldnt hold out against [Kindling]s invasion for much longer.

However, after taking a few steps, Su Xue Er stopped.

She cautiously held her scepter in front of herself, staring forward.

Within the snow storm, a few horse-drawn carriages could be seen from afar.

There were a total of 7 carriages, each one drawn by 5 horses, all heading towards Su Xue Er.

And they came quickly.

Not too long after, the carriages stopped in front of Su Xue Er.

A few dozen armed soldiers stood facing her.

What a pretty girl one of them declared in a low voice.

Another agreed: Pretty indeed, and shes only reached the frozen wasteland after so much time. She must be quite weak, we can easily take her down

Someone else warned him: Dont complicate things, we still have [Kindling]s special mission to accomplish

We can still accomplish the mission while bringing her with us someone else stared straight at Su Xue Er and protested.

Su Xue Er felt pressured.

From her intuition, she could feel that these people werent easy to deal with.

And she had already run out of Soul Points.

If she were to fight them right now, it would be hard to tell how she would end up.

Another person spoke up: Your idea is fine, shes also quite the looker, but if we mess up the mission because we brought her, boss is going to rip you to pieces

As soon as boss was mentioned, everyone went silent.

They all looked to one of the carriages.

As they do, a 2-meter tall warrior came out.

He was wearing a suit of heavy armor with a battle mace forged from pure metal.

The frozen ground was cracked by him simply stepping on it.

As soon as he appeared, all the voices disappeared.

Apparently they were afraid of him.

Obviously, he was the boss.

Little lady, have you seen a man wearing golden armor, likes to use swords and bring a little girl with him?

A coarse voice came from the gaps of his helmet.

He was asking Su Xue Er.

Su Xue Er briefly thought for a moment before shaking her head: Since Ive arrived, Ive never seen such a person

The 2-meter tall warrior glanced behind himself.

Boss, shes telling the truth someone called out.

The warrior seemed disappointed.

Fine, it seems we wont be able to get any more intel for now, keep heading forward he returned to his carriage.

Boss, this girl someone tried asking.

Business first, none of you are to hinder me from completing [Kindling]s special mission, or Im going to use your brains as a drinking snack, got it?

Yes! everyone loudly answered.

They quickly got on their carriages, and prepared to leave.

Su Xue Er stepped to one side.

She was observing them.

Occasionally, some of them couldnt help but glance back with a lustful look in their eyes, but none of them tried saying anything else.

It seems they were really going to leave.

to catch that man that the boss described.

Su Xue Er silently sighed, but kept the scepter in front of herself to maintain her guard.

The people began to leave.

A voice came from one of the carriages.

You know who the target is?

Just some trash, we can easily take care of him

How do you know?

[Kindling] said he had only just passed the 600-floor building

Ahahaha, only just passed the 600-floor building, trash indeed- I really dont understand, why would [Kindling] be interested in someone like that enough to make us go catch him?

I dont know either

Su Xue Er silently listened, hoping that they leave as fast as possible.

She didnt have much Soul Points left so she really needed to get to the next location to find some way to gather more.

But she cant leave just yet, since it will be easy to expose her weakness to them.

She needs to maintain her guard card.

The carriages began to move.

Seems like I wont need to fight yet.

Su Xue Er gradually relaxed.

At this point, their voices came again.

The target is called Gu Qing Shan? Alright, Im going to take his head

Thats for the boss to decide, dont be rash. If you get beaten up by the boss again like last time, Im not going to beg him to forgive you again

As soon as Su Xue Er heard that name, she forgot how to breathe.

Qing Shan.

Right, I remember now.

Qing Shan uses a sword.

He does have a golden set of armor, he mentioned it once during our small talk.

He still came here!

and these people wanted to kill Qing Shan.

Su Xue Ers face went pale, quickly glancing at the amount of Soul Points she had left.

The [11] just became a [10].

I only have 10 Soul Points left.

The other party is over 10 people who came from various powerful worlds.

These people have already gone through countless tests to reach the main mission area.

They have powerful weapons and [Kindling] on them, able to exchange for more powerful items to fight at a moments notice.

They were all powerful demonized people.

Even I find them hard to deal with and want to avoid fighting them here.

But Gu Qing Shan is alone.

Su Xue Er was stunned.

The hand she was holding her scepter became pale from clenching it too tightly.

Time passed.

Su Xue Er looked at the last leaving carriages before gritting her teeth.

Place a finger on her mouth, she softly muttered: Burning Life Force

A glowing card appeared in front of her chest and disappeared almost right away.

An invisible gust of wind drifted around her body as a large amount of Soul Points was being created.

Hoh!

The generated Soul Points created strong wind pressure that blew all the snow around her away.

This caused the group on the carriages to notice.

They stopped.

Boss, look someone called out.

The 2-meter tall warrior once again came down from the carriage.

He seriously looked at Su Xue Er.

So much Soul Points this much is worth it for us to delay a bit he muttered.

The warrior waved his hand.

The dozen of people excitedly got off their carriages, skillfully and expertly prepared to attack.

Su Xue Er on the other hand, seemed like she hadnt realized this.

She stabbed the Scepter of Law into the ice below and muttered: Blood Seas End!

Boom!

The Scepter of Law that accompanied her blew up and scattered into a pure white powder.

The powder flew to the air and condensed into 77 cards, lightly floating above Su Xue Ers head.

Looking at the enemies getting closer to her, Su Xue Ers heart wavered a bit.

Qing Shan

Wiping the tears at the corner of her eye, the only thing left on her beautiful face was indifference.

With a strange and intimidating tone, she chanted the incantation:

O destiny! When I wither is when I bloom!
