Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Gu Chen let out a thunderous roar, the sound shaking the very sky, rolling and echoing. Such might, such vigor, what kind of strong and thriving vitality was this? How could it belong to a martial artist of the Returning to True Stage?

Even amongst martial arts grandmasters, this would be considered exceptional!

Gu Chen's body radiated a fierce light as he clenched his fists, dragon and tiger shadows intertwined and burst forth from his punches, each accompanied by unparalleled ferocious Gangqi, instilling a daunting will within each strike!

Not only that, Gu Chen was also channeling the Great Sun Divine Gang. Facing two grandmaster level powerhouses was the perfect opportunity to test the Great Sun Divine Gang.

Boom!

Combining the Pure Yang True Body with the Great Sun Divine Gang, Gu Chen's body temperature skyrocketed, as if the very void was about to combust, and the ground within a ten-yard radius around him started to burn, with the air gradually being engulfed by flames as well.

Bathing in the blaze, Gu Chen's body was splendid and dazzling, as if standing in the sun; his figure no longer visible, only the brilliant light shone like a miniature sun, releasing endless light and heat!

Such intense heat, even martial arts grandmasters would find it hard to bear!

"What kind of monstrous Gangqi is this brat cultivating? How could it be so terrifying?!" The two grandmasters turned pale at once. They had never heard of any Gangqi in the world with such horrific power.

That heated ferocity, as if it could burn away the entire firmament!

In that moment, Gu Chen's eyes blazed like torches, radiant and brilliant. He threw punch after punch, and each one was incredibly powerful. A dragon of fire surged from each punch, and any martial artist below the stage of Transformation, or even a grandmaster who had undergone a single blood and marrow cleansing, would be reduced to ashes instantly.

The two were horrified. How much time had passed since the trial at the Pure Yang Martial Sect? How had Gu Chen reached this level so quickly?!

The fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect and the martial arts grandmaster from the Heavenly Saber Sect now understood that in a one-on-one fight, even if they used all their strength, they wouldn't stand a chance against Gu Chen!

"Retreat!"

The two martial arts grandmasters were struck with intense fear and could no longer care about their dignity. They immediately shot backward.

"You cannot escape!"

Gu Chen's expression became extremely cold. He wanted to see which power these two men came from and who dared to ambush him!

"Brat, do you really think we can't deal with you?"

Being chased and attacked by someone younger was too much for the fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect. His expression darkened to the extreme. After all, he was a long-established martial arts grandmaster. Being oppressed by a mere twenty-one-year-old was igniting an intense rage inside him.

It was the same for the grandmaster from the Heavenly Saber Sect. They had been renowned for many years. Where had they ever suffered such humiliation? Even fighting together, they were no match for their opponent. If this news were to spread, they would become the laughingstock of everyone.

In this moment, the fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect, in a fit of rage, cast all caution to the wind, preparing to use his full strength and arsenal of techniques to suppress Gu Chen.

"Kill him with this item!"

At this point, the grandmaster from the Heavenly Saber Sect, with a resolute look, stopped him. He knew that even if they both exerted their full power, they might still not be able to handle Gu Chen.

He was aware that Gu Chen had now fully matured. Ordinary martial arts grandmasters would surely not be his match.

Both of them, having fought Gu Chen at close range, were now covered in blood. The physical strength Gu Chen exhibited was terrifying. With this alone, he was already in an invincible position against them both.

As soon as the words were spoken, the grandmaster from the Heavenly Saber Sect took out an item from his bosom—a palm-sized silver shuttle gleaming brightly, shimmering with silver light.

"Good, kill him with this item!" the fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect said coldly.

Hum!

In that instant, with the combined effort of the two, the silver shuttle in the hands of the grandmaster from the Heavenly Saber Sect burst into a dazzling brilliance.

"A low-grade divine weapon?!" Gu Chen's eyes instantly tightened.

What Gu Chen did not know was that this palm-sized silver shuttle was purchased from the Arsenal with a hefty sum and at a great cost by both the Sunset Sword Sect and the Heavenly Saber Sect before coming here.

Divine weapons were numbered in the world, and even low-grade divine weapons were mostly held by the likes of the Arsenal or the top forces in Da Xia and the various powers in the martial world.

And most of these divine weapons were well-known to the world. There were few obscure divine weapons, therefore, to conceal their identities and ensure a sure kill, the Sunset Sword Sect and the Heavenly Saber Sect had no choice but to spend a fortune at the Arsenal to acquire this silver shuttle, specifically to deal with Gu Chen.

It could be said that the Sunset Sword Sect and the Heavenly Saber Sect had really gone to great lengths to kill Gu Chen, even resorting to using a low-grade divine weapon.

And such a divine weapon could only unleash its true might when activated by a martial arts grandmaster. Now, under the joint efforts of the fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect and the grandmaster from the Heavenly Saber Sect, the silver shuttle exploded with the terrifying power of a divine weapon.

Whoosh!

In just a blink, the palm-sized silver shuttle pierced through the void and arrived right in front of Gu Chen.

The speed was simply too fast, even Gu Chen couldn't react in time. Fortunately, when he saw the silver shuttle, he had already drawn the Blood Shadow Sword. With a clang, the two divine weapons collided, sparks flying everywhere.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, the palm-sized silver shuttle turned into a phantom, striking Gu Chen from all directions and angles. With no time to react, he could only rely on instinct for prediction, swinging his arms and using the Blood Shadow Sword to defend.

But with prolonged defense, an oversight was inevitable, and finally, the silver shuttle turned into a bright streak of light and struck Gu Chen's chest.

Clang!

A clear sound rang out, and fortunately, Gu Chen promptly circulated his Indestructible Divine Skill and had made a preemptive prediction; otherwise, despite his sturdy physique, he might have suffered severe damage from the hit.

Two grandmasters, seeing that a low-grade divine weapon couldn't harm Gu Chen, instantly fixed their gaze.

Clang!

At that moment, Gu Chen infused the Great Sun Divine Gang into the Blood Shadow Sword, which immediately burst forth dazzling brilliance, as if the proud sun was burning.

Gu Chen's cultivation level was not inferior to a martial grandmaster who had undergone two blood replacement surgeries. Likewise, the purity of his Great Sun Divine Gang was comparable.

Therefore, at this stage, Gu Chen could already leverage some of the Blood Shadow Sword's might without exhausting himself after a single use as he had in the past.

"Slash!"

With a cold shout, Gu Chen held the Blood Shadow Sword and hacked forward, and instantly a blood-red Gangqi, ten zhang in size, shot out from the sword.

"Hmph!"

The two let out a cold snort. In this moment, they poured all their lifelong power into a palm-sized silver shuttle before them.

They didn't believe that a single person like Gu Chen, at his age, could possibly have more profound energy within his body than the two of them combined.

Boom!

Suddenly, the light from the silver shuttle grew incredibly intense, followed by a silver storm that bloomed like a tornado around the shuttle, sweeping towards Gu Chen.

The blood-red sword light Gu Chen had slashed out was twisted into nothingness by the silver storm in the blink of an eye.

Witnessing this scene, Gu Chen's expression changed, and his eyes condensed to their utmost limit. Two grandmaster-level figures exerting their full strength to manipulate a low-grade divine weapon; such might, even a martial grandmaster who had undergone three blood replacements and was empty-handed, might not be able to withstand.

This was the terror of a divine weapon!

Rumble!

Like thunder, fierce winds raged between heaven and earth, rocks and sand flying wildly, and the Gang Wind was as sharp as knives, cutting painfully into the skin; the silver hurricane tore through the void, nearly ripping open the very fabric of space.

"Indestructible Vajra!"

"Pure Yang True Body!"

Gu Chen immediately circulated the two grand body-cultivating martial arts, pushing his physical body to its current limits. Simultaneously, he performed the Eight Desolate Azure Dragon Strength, and five azure dragon shadows leaped from behind him, surging forth.

Not only that, Gu Chen exerted his full strength to operate the Blood Shadow Sword, slashing out one blood-red Gangqi after another, hoping these attacks would grind down the silver storm.

But after all, it was the result of two grandmasters' desperate efforts. The silver hurricane twisted everything into oblivion, swallowing Gu Chen whole in an instant.

The fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect and the grandmaster of the Heavenly Saber Sect revealed looks of pleasure, believing that with this strike, Gu Chen would surely be killed.

"Gu Chen?!"

Song Yu and Wang Yan, who had been paying close attention to the situation, suddenly saw their expressions dramatically change.

Swoosh!

Just then, suddenly, within the silver storm, a figure shrouded in dazzling golden flames and bathed in fresh blood burst forth. He clenched a fist seal, appearing like a true dragon, closing in for the kill.

It was Gu Chen!

"This is impossible!"

Seeing that Gu Chen had not been reduced to ashes by the divine weapon, the grandmasters from the Sunset Sword Sect and the Heavenly Saber Sect were shocked and dismayed.

"Kill!"

Gu Chen's eyes were as piercing as daggers, his expression extremely cold. With five azure dragons circling around him, Gu Chen himself turned into a dazzling golden light, shining like the radiant sun as he charged past in front of the fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect.

Splat!

The elder's body exploded in an instant, flesh, internal organs, and limbs scattering in all directions.

In this moment, Gu Chen was like a killing god, his eyes reddening with fury. Just now, if it weren't for the top-grade divine weapon merged into his left palm that autonomously released some of its power to protect him, Gu Chen might truly have been in danger!

Even with the Indestructible Vajra Body and Pure Yang True Body, Gu Chen would have survived but would have undoubtedly been gravely injured, with no strength left to counterattack.

Hiss! Find your next adventure on empire

In the next moment, taking advantage of the grandmaster of the Heavenly Saber Sect's sheer terror, Gu Chen swung his sword, and immediately, an arm was severed and soared into the air.

"Ahh..."

The martial grandmaster of the Heavenly Saber Sect screamed in agony. If he had not reacted quickly at the last moment, it would not have been an arm that was lost but his head.

This person had been so frightened by Gu Chen that they lost all soul and spirit. Witnessing the gruesome death of the fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect right before his eyes, he no longer had the courage to battle Gu Chen, and with a flash, he turned and fled.

Just as Gu Chen was fully focused, preparing to kill the martial grandmaster of the Heavenly Saber Sect, suddenly, from behind, a blood-colored claw reached out from the void, stabbing towards Gu Chen's spine.

Another martial grandmaster!
