Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

At this moment, Gu Chen reigned supreme on the battlefield, and in just a brief moment, he had slain five Unity Realm experts from the Saint Sect faction, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.

You must know, the Unity Realm is no mere trifle; they occupy central positions in any force, and even a formidable entity like the Saint Sect cannot disregard the Unity Realm.

Moreover, this time, the commander of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights had brought only sixteen Unity Realm warriors, and in the blink of an eye, five had been slaughtered, leaving even him stunned.

After all, he had just been feeling confident in his grasp, sure that he could kill Gu Chen, but in an instant, he was slapped in the face by reality, and it had come far too quickly.

All of this, primarily because, upon seeing Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu injured, Gu Chen had indeed become enraged.

Clang!

At that moment, Gu Chen flicked a finger, and a thick sword beam burst forth, spanning the heavens and the earth, ferociously slashing downwards, instantly killing another early-stage Unity Realm cultivator.

As for the evil demon within their bodies, Gu Chen employed the power of thunder, which utterly annihilated them in the blink of an eye.

At present, everyone on the scene stood still, forgetting to attack.

It seemed, throughout the battlefield, it had become Gu Chen's own backyard, where he roamed freely, scarcely encountering an enemy to match him.

After all, for Gu Chen, who possessed five divine abilities, the weakest of which was of the seventh-grade, the early stage of the Unity Realm was truly nothing.

Only those freakishly talented beings who also wielded powerful divine abilities could contest with him in this realm.

As for other Unity Realm cultivators, they had no chance of being his equal.

And this was still Gu Chen holding back the full force of his divine abilities; otherwise, if revealed, it would be far too shocking.

"So, this is his true strength?!" exclaimed the commander of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights, along with two other Great Powers of the Saint Sect, in shock.

Initially, when they took on this mission, they believed it would be completed with ease, and if there were to be any surprises, they would have involved the Great Powers of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

However, what they never anticipated was that they were wrong, spectacularly so!

The biggest issue arose from the person they targeted—Gu Chen!

Boom, boom, boom!

Throughout the heavens and earth, the sound of explosions followed one after another. If Unity Realm warriors were no match for Gu Chen, naturally, Huanxu Realm cultivators from the Saint Sect could not hope to be his equal either.

This massacre belonged to Gu Chen alone; the screams of the Saint Sect cultivators rose and fell in succession, and it could even be said they were incessant.

"We must retreat!" announced one of the Saint Sect's Great Powers, his expression as grave as still water, aware that the mission had failed, but there was no helping it.

The commander of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights wore an equally somber expression. Among the three of them, he was the strongest, and naturally, decisions fell upon him.

At this point, he also understood the mission had failed. Continuing to stay here meant only more death, and no longer any benefit.

"Retreat!"

Following the command, the Saint Sect faction, led by the commander of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights and two other Great Powers, began their retreat.

Of course, even with a retreat, casualties were unavoidable, but under the leadership of the three powerhouse entities, Gu Chen and his group ultimately did not pursue deeply.

After all, the sly reputation of the Saint Sect was well-known, and who knew what greater dangers might lurk should they be chased.

Moreover, Gu Chen wasn't in the mood for it.

After the battle concluded, Gu Chen immediately went over to Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu to check on their injuries.

As for the four Great Powers of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty and the multitude of Huanxu and Unity Realm masters, they all looked at Gu Chen with shock still etched on their faces, evidently not yet released from the scene that had just unfolded.

At the initial stage of the Huanxu Realm, defeating Unity Realm foes as if slicing through melons and vegetables was outrageous, even for someone with divine abilities.

This time, more than half of the Saint Sect's sixteen Unity Realm artists had fallen at the hands of Gu Chen, not to mention plenty of those from the Huanxu Realm.

The formidable healing ability of the demons was utterly crushed under Gu Chen's extraordinary power.

"So, this is Gu Bai's true strength?" marveled the four Great Powers of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty internally, their gazes filled with amazement as they looked at Gu Chen.

Only at this moment did they realize that the man their princess had taken a liking to was even more outstanding than they had imagined.

Although Gu Chen had revealed part of his strength, he wasn't overly concerned, because for him, this was still just the tip of the iceberg.

"Xidie, Brother Yun, how are you both feeling?" Gu Chen inquired, looking at Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu.

He then brought out the spirit liquid of the Ink Jade Heavenly Bamboo, urging them to quickly consume it.

"I'm fine." The princess, seeing the concern Gu Chen showed, smiled sweetly, clearly very happy.

At that moment, her face was pale, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, exhibiting a weary sort of beauty.

Yun Zishu, meanwhile, was more severely injured, but still within manageable limits, and upon taking the spirit liquid of the Ink Jade Heavenly Bamboo, his injury immediately stabilized.

"Brother Gu, every time you take action, you leave me in awe," said Yun Zishu with a sigh.

From the time of their acquaintance at Qingyun Academy to now, Gu Chen had been constantly shattering his perceptions. Yun Zishu had thought he had seen the limit, but soon enough, that limit had been broken again.

Now, Yun Zishu no longer believed that what he was seeing was the full extent of Gu Chen's abilities.
