Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Zhuo Siyuan and Ning Tian saw the urgency on each other's faces as they realized just how indestructible Gu Chen's Vajra body was. Moreover, they also detected that besides his impenetrable body, Gu Chen was practicing a unique and mystical body-cultivating martial art. The combination of the two allowed him to reach this extraordinary level.

To stand against three alone and push Zhuo Siyuan and the others to this point was, needless to say, an astonishing scene that left countless martial artists dumbfounded.

"Kill!"

At that moment, Gu Chen's hair was disheveled, and as he roared loudly, his voice booming like thunder, the air around him exploded. His punch was dazzlingly bright, the high-pitched sound of a dragon's roar was unending, and Gu Chen himself turned into a bolt of lightning. With that punch, three pale dragon shadows also burst forth instantly in unison with him.

"Pfft!"

Shen Jie could no longer withstand it, his White Tiger Battle Body completely failed, and the dense genuine qi that enveloped him instantly burst. Suffering from the backlash, he was sent flying out while blood spurted from his mouth without cease.

Then, with a flash, Gu Chen approached Shen Jie rapidly using the Controlling Wind Step Shadows. He reached out with both arms, grabbed Shen Jie's arms, and then violently ripped them apart.

Pfft!

Blood sprayed out in copious amounts, arcing three feet into the air as Gu Chen tore Shen Jie's body in half while he was still alive!

Gu Chen's eyes were as icy as glaciers, emitting endless chills. At that moment, bathed in blood and madness, he howled, and in an instant, as he clenched his fists anew, he moved swiftly to where Zhuo Siyuan and Ning Tian were.

"Retreat!"

Seeing Shen Jie being torn in half alive by Gu Chen, both were struck with terror and hastily backed away.

Yet in their panic, they inevitably made mistakes, and having witnessed Gu Chen's fierce methods one after another, even Zhuo Siyuan and Ning Tian felt a wave of fear deep in their hearts.

Ning Tian was a fraction slower, and Gu Chen caught him. His daunting fist glowed throughout the grand hall, and the soaring dragon's roar seemed like a real dragon descending from the heavenly realm. Gu Chen, brimming with bravery, threw only three punches, causing Ning Tian to spit out blood, with half of his body nearly shattered.

At that moment, Ning Tian felt the closeness of death more than ever before. He bit the tip of his tongue, using a secret technique from the Xuantian Sect, burning his lifeblood, and in an instant, he transformed into a streak of blood-light, escaping the grand hall directly.

Leaving this place meant admitting defeat and an automatic failure in the trial.

Gu Chen saw Ning Tian flee and did not persistently pursue him; instead, he turned his gaze toward the escaping Zhuo Siyuan.

"Controlling Wind Step Shadows!"

With a blur, Gu Chen transformed into a rainbow light, his speed was incredibly fast. Once he had locked onto his target with his qi, he instantly caught up with Zhuo Siyuan.

"Brother Gu!"

Zhuo Siyuan shouted desperately, his face in panic, unable to maintain his composure any longer. At this moment, he wanted to say something, but Gu Chen was not about to give him that chance. His golden fist, like the divine hammer of the heavenly realm, aimed at Zhuo Siyuan's body, crashed down fiercely.

"Pfft!"

With a single punch, Zhuo Siyuan spat out blood. He employed the Great Enchantment Skill and the Holy Light Skill, but with the enhancement of the indestructible Vajra divine power, both were unable to affect Gu Chen in the slightest.

Having the indestructible Vajra body and the Vajra divine power, plus six hundred and twenty years of cultivation within him, it could be said that Gu Chen was inherently unbeatable unless grandmasters intervened.

"Die!"

At that moment, two dazzling beams shot out from Gu Chen's eyes, utterly intimidating. In just an instant, all his cultivation and energy concentrated together. Gu Chen's divine power was invincible as he struck out nine punches in quick succession!

Bang!

With the nine punches compounded, the force was incredibly powerful. Zhuo Siyuan, not being a body-cultivating martial artist, couldn't withstand it at all, and his body exploded on the spot, turning into a rain of blood.

Gu Chen was surrounded by a brilliant golden radiance, his black hair scattering in front and behind as his eyes exhibited extreme coldness. Standing amidst the rain of blood, he resembled a terrifying king of asuras.

At this moment, within the entire grand hall, there was a dead silence.

In Yan State, of the seven major jianghu powers, now their martial prodigies, the successors of the next generation, had all been killed by Gu Chen in a single day—three of them.

As one can imagine, if this news spreads, the Da Guangming Sect, the Qiu Family, and the White Tiger Clan would absolutely go mad!

Gu Chen is undoubtedly a harbinger of death!

All the martial artists who had witnessed this battle thought so in their hearts.

Gu Chen's eyes were as cold as frost, eerier than millennia-old profound ice, as he looked towards Ling Fei and Liang Qing, who were not far and obstructed by Wang Shuyu.

At that moment, instinctively, both of them trembled, their Adam's apples moved as they swallowed a large gulp of saliva.

"Let's go!"

They exchanged glances, not daring to stay here any longer. Like Ning Tian before them, they burned their essence blood, sparing no cost to their origins, to leave this place as quickly as possible.

Gu Chen glanced at them and then paid no more attention. He also didn't blame Wang Shuyu for not trying his hardest to stop the two men. After all, the fact that Wang Shuyu took action at all was already very gracious.

Today, if it weren't for Wang Shuyu, Gu Chen might indeed have had to withdraw from this trial.

Now, in this grand hall, although there were many martial artists present, only Wang Shuyu remained as someone who could possibly contend with Gu Chen.

Wang Shuyu, upon seeing Gu Chen's gaze, lightly smiled and said, "I also withdraw."

"Great young master!"

At this, all the warriors from the Wang family suddenly cried out in alarm. However, under Wang Shuyu's gaze, they had no choice but to comply with his wishes and follow him out.

"Today's favor, I, Gu, will remember," came Gu Chen's clear yet slightly hoarse voice from within the hall.

Wang Shuyu smiled faintly upon hearing this and didn't care much about it, turning his head to leave with his people.

Seeing that Gu Chen intended to clear the hall, the remaining martial artists also knew to take the hint. After all, after several bouts of combat, everyone had witnessed Gu Chen's strength and his ruthless methods. Now, no one dared to linger and provoke Gu Chen's ire.

At that moment, the commanding officers of the Jing Tian Department looked at each other, and someone, summoning their courage, said, "Lord Gu, we will also take our leave."

Among this group, there were not a few who held ranks higher than Gu Chen, but even they now politely addressed him as "Lord Gu."

Such is the advantage brought by power.

Gu Chen nodded slightly without saying a word. Seeing this, the commanding officers of the Jing Tian Department, like the others before them, withdrew one after another.

Kui Gang, however, was hiding in the crowd, attempting to sneak away while Gu Chen was not paying attention.

But Gu Chen's gaze had already locked onto him. With a flick of his finger, a thick and searing sword qi shot out, splitting the terrified Kui Gang in two.

Seeing this, the crowd once again witnessed Gu Chen's ruthless methods; no one dared to hesitate. They left even faster than before, as if fleeing for their lives.

Soon, only Gu Chen remained in the grand hall.

"Thud!"

The golden light around Gu Chen suddenly dissipated, his complexion swiftly paled, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

The battle just then had been extremely dangerous. Gu Chen had used all his strength, even squeezed out potential he hadn't known he had. Defeating Zhuo Siyuan and the other two's joint attack had already pushed him to his limits.

Having withstood so many attacks from Zhuo Siyuan and Ning Tian, his Vajra body might be indestructible, but not genuinely so; it only remained intact because he had been suppressing his injuries.

Now that everyone had left, Gu Chen no longer needed to suppress his injuries. After coughing up the clot in his chest, he felt much more relaxed.

Then, he got up and approached the platform. Now that only Gu Chen was left in the grand hall, the light shield enveloping the jade slip also began to fade.

Gu Chen picked up the jade slip, held it in his hand, and prepared to delve into its mysteries.
