"Guhan, it's great that you're alright!"
When all of the Yuan Kou's were killed, Gui Yi brought the swordsmen to Guhan's side and met up with him.
"Boss Guhan!
You're so awesome! How did you do it? "
"Yeah, Boss Guhan, my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I saw you kill that Nether rank Yuan Kou!
How did you do it? "
"Boss, there's no need to say anything else. From now on, you're my boss. Please tell us the method you used to deal with Yuan Yan!"
These sword-bearers were all talking at once. The core of their conversation was to figure out how Gu Han had killed this Archer Saint.
But unknowingly, the way they addressed Guhan had changed many times, from Mr. Guhan to Comrade Guhan, then to Brother Guhan, and finally to Boss Guhan.
Guhan was the youngest among them, but almost everyone called him boss so naturally. From this, it could be seen that Guhan's position in the team was completely different. Even to Gui Yi, very few members would call him boss.
… …
Actually, the reason why Guhan was able to kill that Nether rank Yuan Kou so easily was mostly because the holy archer was courting death.
Normally, the holy archer would constantly use ordinary white feather arrows to surround and kill Guhan, as well as the various skills of the magisters and wizards to exhaust Guhan. If that was the case, if Guhan wanted to win, he would have to summon one or two Nether rank Yuan Kou's from the trial circle to help him.
However, this holy archer felt good about himself and directly used his ultimate move, causing himself to enter a weakened state. This gave Guhan the opportunity to kill him in a short ten seconds. This was something that the holy archer didn't expect even at the moment of his death.
From this point of view, it was not unreasonable for Ultraman to save their ultimate move for the last big boss in anime, television, or novels. The one who used their ultimate move first would die first. Who knew who made this rule!
Of course, Guhan couldn't tell these curious swordsmen about the real battle. This was because Guhan couldn't explain how he managed to change sword marks in a second, nor could he explain why he had two swordmaidens, Douyu and Heaven Reliance.
Fortunately, Guhan already knew that the swordsmen would ask him this question, and had already prepared a perfect explanation.
"We're all smart people. I'm just a treasured sword wielder, how could I defeat a Nether rank Yuan Kou …" Guhan smiled bitterly. His acting was perfect. "To tell you the truth, I came back from the trial circle left behind by Zhe Tian Jiandi.
I obtained a few sword qi crystals left behind by His Majesty Zhe Tian in the trial circle. Just now, I used His Majesty Zhe Tian's sword qi to injure these Yuan Kou's, and then took the opportunity to kill that Nether rank Yuan Kou. "
High-grade dimensional crystals had another use, and that was to store the sword qi left behind by one's master. Many high-level swordsmen would store the sword qi of their full-strength attack in dimensional crystals. As long as they used a special method, they could activate the sword qi and use it to kill enemies they couldn't handle.
When everyone heard Guhan's explanation, they were instantly convinced!
Although this explanation sounded a little far-fetched, compared to the fact that Guhan had killed a Nether rank Yuan Kou with his own strength as a treasured sword wielder, this explanation instantly became very reasonable. After all, no one would be willing to believe that a treasured sword wielder could defeat a Nether rank Yuan Kou with their own strength. This was too much of a blow to their self-esteem.
However, if someone who was really familiar with the sword qi crystals was here, they would find that Guhan was simply spouting nonsense … because once the sword qi stored in the sword qi crystals was activated, it couldn't be controlled. The sword qi would attack wherever it wanted, and apart from the person who triggered it, everything else would be its target.
This sword qi would twist the entire battlefield into a mess, and traces of sword qi attacks could be seen everywhere.
However, on the battlefield now, apart from a few traces of sword qi, there were no other traces … especially the place where the Holy Archer had died. According to what Guhan had said, since that was where the sword qi had attacked the Holy Archer, it should naturally be the place with the most traces of sword qi. However, in reality, it was very clean, as if nothing had happened. Those who knew the ropes could tell at a glance that Guhan was lying.
Unfortunately, there was no one there who knew the ropes, because the sword qi crystals were treasures of every family. They would only be used when the family was on the brink of death, or when the family's bloodline was in danger. Normally, they wouldn't even see a sword qi crystal, let alone use it.
This was because making the sword qi crystals required high-quality dimensional crystals. They had to be at least a Marquise grade dimensional crystal. Using such a precious dimensional crystal to store sword qi was too extravagant. Even Jiandi wouldn't waste dimensional crystals to make too many. He would only leave some for his descendants to use for self-defense. So, this kind of thing was very rare. Most people wouldn't even see it, so they didn't know much about it.
Just like that, the problem of Guhan's power was erased by Guhan's concealment of the sword qi crystals. However, everyone still called Guhan their boss.
Even if Guhan didn't use his own power to defeat Underworld class Yuan Kou, it didn't matter.
He had risked his life to face Underworld class Yuan Kou alone. That was why everyone was grateful to Guhan.
…
"One, two, three, attack!"
Guhan gave the command, and all the swordmaidens used their strongest attacks on the Lonely Tower.
The body of the Lonely Tower trembled and cracks started to move upwards from the bottom. In the end, the entire Lonely Tower was completely shattered and turned into a pile of rubble.
"How is it? Can we get back in touch with Yuzhang City?"
The moment the Lonely Tower fell, Guhan projected his personal terminal into the air. He chose to reset the network connection.
So, under the watchful eyes of all the swordmaidens, Guhan's terminal reconnected to the network.
The ripple-like pattern continued to spread outwards. This meant that the signal was being sent out from the terminal, and it was looking for a usable base station.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes, five minutes passed, and the signal was still searching. There was no base station.
"How could this be?
Isn't this the tower that blocked our communication? "one of the swordmaidens said disappointedly.
"No, it could be that there is another Lonely Tower somewhere else. We only destroyed one, so it's useless!" another swordmaiden guessed.
Just as Guhan was beginning to lose hope of getting back in touch with Yuzhang City, the ripple suddenly began to vibrate. Then, a green dot appeared on the screen. This meant that the terminal had finally found a usable base station!
"Quick!
Contact Yuzhang City!
Quick! "
Seeing this, everyone was so excited that they almost cried. Finally, after so long, they could finally get back in touch with Yuzhang City!
They could finally talk to their loved ones!
"Hello!
Is this Yuzhang City?
Hello, is this Yuzhang City's communication center?
Please respond if you hear me!
Please respond if you hear me! "
Guhan dialed the number of Yuzhang City's communication center, but there was no response.
"Mom!
Mom!
It's me, it's me, can you hear me? "One of the swordmaidens dialed his family's number, but there was also no response.
Seeing this situation, the other sword bearers all dialed the number of their relatives, wanting to restore contact with them in Yuzhang City. However, without exception, all the calls were answered with a blank tone.
Something strange happened. Although the terminal had connected to the base station, they did not seem to be able to get back in touch with Yuzhang City.
But this did not make sense. The base station was installed in Yuzhang City. As long as the base station was connected, it would definitely be able to get back in touch with the entire city. How could they not be able to dial a single number?
This was too illogical!
"Oh no!
Could it be that Yuzhang City has already … already … "One of the swordmaidens suddenly thought of something and fell to the ground in horror.
If the base station in Yuzhang City could not work, then it was very likely that the entire city had fallen. Just like Yueyang Fortress, Yuzhang City had been breached by the surging Yuan Kou, and the entire city had been destroyed!
"Shut up!
We haven't figured out the situation yet, so stop spouting nonsense! "
Seeing that everyone's morale had been disturbed by the swordmaidens' words, Gui Yi hurriedly scolded the swordmaidens.
"Then what should we do now?"
Everyone looked at Guhan and Gui Yi. In this situation, only the two main pillars of the team could make the decision.
"Sigh … I'll try again!"
Gui Yi projected his personal terminal and quickly dialed a number … there was no response … Gui Yi dialed another number … there was still no response.
When Gui Yi dialed the third number without any hope, unexpectedly, a beeping sound came from the other end of the communication device.
Everyone heard this sound for a moment. Finally, it was no longer a dead tone. Finally, they could hear the beeping sound. This meant that the call had been made. Now, it was up to the owner of the personal terminal on the other end of the communication device to pick up the call.
"Motherf * cker … who dares to call me at this time? If there's nothing urgent, when I return to Yuzhang City, I'll lock you up in the Disciplinary Commission for Discipline Inspection!"
On the other end of the communication device was the hot-tempered voice of a man. The voice on the other end of the communication device was unclear because there were many other sounds mixed in. There were explosions, flames, wind, roars, and screams. It sounded like the other end was on a battlefield.
