Questioning Heaven, Desiring the Way

his opponent, unleashing a sinister frostiness from his bloodshot eyes that suddenly lit up.

“Three Fingers of Yama – Shocking the Deities!” The dead qi hiding in his sleeve gathered around his fingertip and turned black.
Gu Suihan shot the qi out, making it slice through the air and punching in between the brows of the Seven Kill Sect disciple with a Ghost Controlling Flag just as he was about to gleefully keep the Chilly Soul’s corpse for himself.

Pfft! Before the Seven Kill Sect disciple realized what just happened to him, his head exploded like a rotten watermelon.
A thick blackish gray smoke rose from his head, and Gu Suihan grabbed hold of it and stuffed it into his mouth.
At the same time, he held up his sword horizontally so that the tip of the spear coming for him hit the blade of the sword instead.

Clang! Brilliant sparks accompanied the ear-piercing sound of metal against metal.

The impact caused Gu Suihan to pale slightly and stumble backward, making two deep troughs in the snow.

“Pretending to attack me when you were actually attacking the other fellow? What a good move.” The Vast Sky Sect disciple looked gravely at Gu Suihan as he caught sight of the headless and lifeless body next to him from the corner of his eye.

“What kind words.” Gu Suihan’s ruby-like eyes twinkled as color returned to his face.
The wounds made by the Chilly Soul earlier on burst open after he used so much energy to block the spear.
Blood seeped out from his wounds, and the ripped parts of his clothing flapped in the cold wind.

“Haha! You made the first move, and you’ve broken your vow.
When you reach Origin Core, demons are going to enter your heart.
I look forward to that,” said the other disciple with a cackle, the tip of his spear gleaming sinisterly.

“What a pathetic young man! What a narrow worldview!” Gu Suihan snorted.
His sword buzzed quietly as it absorbed the murderous qi around it and turned into a dark red blade with golden sparkles.
He thrust it toward the Vast Sky Sect disciple like a shooting star.

“Humph!” The Vast Sky Sect disciple was getting really angry now.
The young man before him was only at Mid Foundation Establishment, which was the same level of cultivation as himself.
Yet, Gu Suihan kept looking down on him.
This made murderous thoughts brew inside his heart.

Even though Questioning Heaven was coming for him, he did not panic.
His spear was like a coiled snake that could not be seen, the sound of it flicking its tongue sending chills down one’s spine.

“The Coiled Dragon Stretches Its Neck! Slaughtering Dragon Kill – Snap all Tendons!”

Gu Suihan looked at the spear filled with murderous qi that was coming at him with the energy of a ferocious beast and merely scoffed.
The memories he had accumulated over centuries included countless formidable techniques.
In the blink of an eye, he switched the direction of his sword, raising the murderous weapon suddenly.
The sword carried a huge wave of murderous qi and crashed down hard on the back of the other disciple’s dragon-like spear.

“The Coiled Dragon – Swim Mode!” The other disciple had received quite a shock, and he exerted strength in both arms.
The spear whooshed loudly and as it kept swimming round and round the disciple.
The disciple was the most important person to it, so it kept him well-protected in the center.

Dragons supposedly had a weak scale that grew in the opposite direction on their throats, and anyone who went near it would incur the dragon’s wrath.
In the same way, the disciple was like this weak scale that the spear wanted to protect.

Gu Suihan had a disdainful smile when he realized that this spear was behaving like a dragon that was protecting the weakest part of its body.
But what was a dragon? To put it bluntly, it was just a ferocious animal that was part of history.
It wasn’t even a demon of any kind.
In prehistoric times, dragons and phoenixes were in the middle of the food chain.

“I’m piercing through this scale,” thought Gu Suihan.
His bloodshot eyes shone brightly as he sensed the weakness in the spear swimming around the other disciple.
The runes on his sword flowed around the blade, unleashing a huge amount of violent qi and creating waves of bloodied mist as it was thrust toward the other disciple.

The other disciple felt like the area between his brows had been pierced.
His mind was shaken, and the spear paused for a while even though it had been swimming about so smoothly earlier.
Before he knew it, the sword that was ten meters away from him just a moment ago was now very near him.

“The Coiled Dragon – Slay the Spirit!” He had no choice but to hold up the spear diagonally and step forward, resulting in several cracks forming in the ground.
He shouted loudly as rocks flew in all directions, his spear moving confidently like an ancient dragon.
The tip of the spear shone with a murderous gleam.
The roaring of the dragon seemed too much for this Chilly Soul and Icy Po formation to take.
It shook, and dust rained from above.

“How dare you try and slay me?” shouted Gu Suihan.
He moved like an apparition as if he could teleport himself, covering the distance between them in the blink of an eye as his sword buzzed loudly.

“Let’s die together then!” roared the other disciple spitefully with a determined look in his eyes.
The spear in his hand spewed fire in all directions, and the sound of a dragon roaring and a phoenix cawing could be heard faintly as the spear was swung at Gu Suihan.

Bam! The formation could no longer hold up against the impact of the fight so close to it.
The sound of glass smashing echoed in the cave, and the winter wonderland in front of the three of them suddenly changed.
The cave suddenly became dark, and the abrupt dimness confused the other disciple for a moment.

That one second of confusion was all Gu Suihan needed.
The other disciple immediately felt uneasy, but before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in between his brows.
Everything in front of him went dark, and he soon breathed his last.
