"I'm finally back!" Guhan breathed in the familiar air with dimensional energy and said with satisfaction.
Just by relying on the familiar air, Guhan could almost confirm that he had returned to the real world. The familiar mottled city ruins once again proved Guhan's guess that he had indeed returned to the real world.
"I just don't know what time it is in the current world. Has Swallow Capital City perished? Has the human world perished?"
Guhan looked at this world with a deep gaze. The moment he returned to the real world, he reactivated his personal terminal. However, Guhan's current location was in Southeast Asia. The humans there had long been completely wiped out. At the same time, it was also an area that human signals had never covered. It was impossible to receive quantum signals in this area, and it was also impossible to obtain the latest human news through the personal terminal.
If Guhan wanted to obtain accurate information, he would have to travel through the void for at least a few hours.
"I'll hit …" Just as Guhan was worrying about the current state of the world, a truck-like fist smashed toward the back of Guhan's head. Of course, Guhan would not be hit so easily. He nimbly turned around and dodged the fist. Then, he kicked the person who had suddenly sneaked up on him and sent him flying.
"Da Gu!
You're here too! "
When Guhan clearly saw the person who had attacked him, he unexpectedly discovered that it was actually the Ultraman Da Gu from that world, Tiga. It seemed like Da Gu had followed Guhan to this world through the dimensional rift.
However, the first thing Da Gu did after arriving here was actually to attack Gu Han, acting as if they were absolutely irreconcilable enemies.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Da Gu suddenly let out a furious roar and drew out his Divine Light Staff, preparing to transform into Ultraman Tiga!
However, Guhan reacted quickly. With a light stab of the Immortal Extinguish Sword, Da Gu's Divine Light Staff was sent flying. Without the Divine Light Staff, Da Gu could no longer transform into Ultraman Tiga.
"Da Gu, why do you want to kill me?"
Da Gu, who had lost Ultraman Tiga's power, was no longer a threat. Guhan pressed the tip of his sword against Da Gu's throat and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes … Why do I want to kill you … But I want to kill you!"
Da Gu said with a conflicted expression, but the murderous aura on his body did not diminish. It was obvious that he still wanted to kill Guhan.
"Could it be …" The tip of Guhan's sword tore a hole in Da Gu's shirt and found a small hole in Da Gu's chest. "This time, Guhan completely understood that Da Gu had been infected by filth and had become a Yuan Kou.
Entering this world through the dimensional rift would make one a Yuankou. Gu Han had actually neglected such a simple setting. Da Gu had followed him to this world, so it was inevitable that he would be corroded by the filth. Due to the influence of the filth, it was only natural that Da Gu would attack him.
"Sigh!
On account of the fact that we used to fight side by side, I will let you return to normal! "Guhan sighed. He found that he had become more and more soft-hearted.
In the past, he would have chopped off Da Gu's head without hesitation.
However, how could Guhan kill this former friend? In the end, he could only put Da Gu into his dimensional pocket. He planned to send Da Gu to the free cities in the future so that they could remove the filth from Da Gu's body. At the same time, he would let Da Gu reunite with his Ultraman brethren.
However, Guhan still had doubts in his heart. Based on Da Gu's appearance, it was almost inevitable that the filth would infect Yuan Kou. Moreover, he was born with a murderous intent toward humans.
But why were Li Bai and Yuan Kou in the Seamless Corridor different? They had never had murderous intent toward Guhan. Why was that?
Putting this problem aside for the time being, Guhan began to walk in the direction of Huaxia. Because Guhan had never been to Southeast Asia, he did not have the void coordinates of Southeast Asia. If he wanted to quickly return to Yuzhang City through the void, he would accidentally take the wrong path. When that happened, the gains would not make up for the losses.
It was better to fly directly by land. Anyway, with Guhan's current speed, it would only take him about 10 hours to reach Yuzhang City from Southeast Asia.
...
"This is Southeast Asia. It is indeed as recorded in the books. This is Yuan Kou's fertile land!"
Looking down from the sky, Guhan could see Yuan Kou active on the ground almost every minute and second. Occasionally, there would be an ignorant Yuan Kou attacking Guhan from the sky. Of course, these Yuan Kou were all sent back to their own worlds by Guhan without exception.
This was to be expected. Unlike Huaxia, Southeast Asia did not have two base cities guarding it. At the same time, there were also a large number of sword-bearers cleaning up Yuan Kou on the ground in Huaxia day after day. Therefore, there were relatively few Yuan Kou in Huaxia.
But Southeast Asia was different. Humans did not have the extra power to sweep through this area. Therefore, as time passed, more and more Yuan Kou were gathered here, and they became everywhere.
Guhan continued to fly forward. When he estimated that he had reached the border of Laos, this fierce battle attracted Guhan's attention. Guhan noticed that on one side of the battle was a human sword-bearer and an ordinary-looking girl. On the other side were three Inferno Hounds.
"An ancient sword rank little guy. Not bad. He is fighting the three Inferno Hounds quite well!" Guhan could not help but praise the opponent as he watched the battle from the sky.
Although the Inferno Hound was only a tiger-rank Yuan Kou, its greatest ability was to spit a few fireballs from its mouth.
However, they had the advantage in numbers. An ancient sword rank sword-bearer being able to fight three Inferno Hounds at the same time was already a good result. Moreover, he had to take care of an ordinary person at the same time.
However, he was only doing slightly better. The Inferno Hounds had the advantage in numbers. As time passed, the unlucky sword-bearer gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. If no one else came to his rescue, he and the ordinary person behind him would definitely die at the hands of the Inferno Hounds.
…
"Big brother, are you okay?" a frightened little girl asked her brother, who was fighting in front of her.
"It's okay, Jia Er. I will protect you even if I die!"
The boy said firmly. But when he said this, the poor little girl cried even harder!
But what the boy said was true. He was already at the end of his rope. His personal shield had less than 20% energy left. At most, he could hold on for another five minutes. Then, he would die at the hands of the three Inferno Hounds.
"Even if I die, I will protect my little sister. You bastards, take my Splendor of Life!"
The boy roared in his heart. He was ready to use the forbidden skill of the Splendor Sword in his hand, Splendor of Life.
This was a skill that would take the enemy down with him. It consumed 80% of the energy of the Sword Maiden's personal shield to explode with a powerful area-of-effect attack, dealing damage equivalent to that of a treasured sword. Right now, the Inferno Hounds were also at the end of their rope. If they were hit by Splendor of Life, they would definitely die.
However, the prerequisite for using Splendor of Life was that the personal shield had 80% of its energy. If the personal shield did not have enough energy, forcefully using Splendor would drain the sword-bearer's life force. Therefore, this was a skill that would take the enemy down with him. Even if the young man used it now, he would not be able to live for long.
"Young man, you must cherish your life!"
Just as the young man was about to put his life on the line, a calm voice came from the sky. Then, the young man saw a flash of sword light, and the powerful Inferno Hounds turned into corpses. A dimensional vortex slowly appeared and took their corpses away.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving me. I, Jiang Wu, am extremely grateful to you!"
The young man called Jiang Wu immediately realized that a high-grade sword-bearer had saved him. He quickly knelt on the ground and expressed his gratitude.
"It's no problem. Sword-Bearers should help each other. Moreover, you are my junior, so I should help you!" Guhan slowly floated down from the sky as he spoke.
"Thank you, Senior!
Thank you, Senior!
I, Jiang Wu, will never forget Senior's great kindness! "Jiang Wu respectfully kowtowed to Guhan three times.
"Good child!"
Gu Han stretched out his hand, wanting to help the child up. However, when Gu Han touched Jiang Wu's body, a powerful killing intent surged out from the depths of his heart. Gu Han's hand grabbed onto Jiang Wu's hand, his nails digging into Jiang Wu's flesh, causing Jiang Wu to cry out in pain. He cried out, "Senior, you're so strong!
It hurts!
It hurts so much! "
"What's wrong with me …" Guhan finally reacted and let go of Jiang Wu's arm. At the same time, he weakly took a few steps back and pressed his right hand on his chest.
At that moment, Guhan could clearly sense that he had a huge killing intent towards Jiang Wu. He almost controlled himself to kill Jiang Wu. If it weren't for Jiang Wu's scream and Guhan's strong willpower, he would have really killed the poor child.
But why?
Why would Guhan have such a huge killing intent towards a poor child?
Thinking of this, Guhan suddenly opened his shirt and looked at his chest. Then, his pupils instantly shrank, because at that moment, Guhan was horrified to find that there was a small hole in his chest … This small hole was the same as the one he saw on Da Gu and Artoria's body.
"I've actually been infected by filth!"
Guhan said with dull eyes. The saddest thing for a person was to suddenly discover that they had suddenly become the person they hated the most.
