Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

"Chase it! Don't let it escape!" The group of Martial Artists followed closely behind, disappearing into the ice field.

Gu Sheng watched the departing Martial Artists and the big black dog, ripples stirring in his heart. He decided to investigate the truth of this matter, to uncover the intentions of this big black dog. He led his group to follow in the footsteps of the Martial Artists.

Along the way, Gu Sheng and his companions discovered traces of humans abducted by the big black dog. These humans were bound together, unconscious, clearly serving as captives of the big black dog. Witnessing these scenes of misery, Gu Sheng's anger surged even further.

Finally, after chasing for dozens of miles, Gu Sheng and his companions once again caught sight of the big black dog. The dog stood by a massive ice crevice, seemingly waiting for something.

As it noticed Gu Sheng and the others approaching, a cunning glint flashed in its eyes. Then, turning and leaping, it dove into the ice crevice.

"Quick, follow it!" Gu Sheng shouted, leading everyone to leap into the crevice as well.

They passed through the narrow fissure and entered a massive ice cavern. The cavern was filled with mysterious runes and ancient arrays, clearly a secret that had been hidden for a long time.

In the depths of the ice cavern, Gu Sheng and his companions were met with a shocking sight.

The big black dog stood before an ancient altar, upon which several young human women were bound. Their faces showed fear and despair, evidently intended as sacrifices for the big black dog.

"Beast!"

Gu Sheng shouted furiously, his figure flashing to the side of the big black dog. He swung a golden fist directly at the beast, intent on utterly destroying the evil Demon Beast!

The big black dog seemed prepared. Its figure flickered, dodging Gu Sheng's attack, then spewing a stream of black flames toward him. The flames were scorching hot, carrying an intensely corrosive stench that made one want to vomit!

Seeing this, Gu Sheng did not dare be careless. He invoked the Gale Nine Swords, manifesting nine silver sword lights to slash at the black flames. Simultaneously, he rapidly retreated to avoid being affected by the flames. With sharp sizzling cries, the silver sword lights were completely devoured by the black flames!

Gu Sheng was secretly alarmed. This big black dog turned out to be astonishingly powerful! He couldn't afford to let his guard down and fully activated his Cultivation Technique, engaging the dog in fierce combat. The two exchanged blows intensively, fighting back and forth in a deadlock!

Meanwhile, the others joined in the fray, surrounding the big black dog and attempting to rescue the captive women. Yet the dog was incredibly strong and unusually cunning, making the task of subduing it nearly impossible for the moment!

The battle lasted a long time, with both sides locked in stalemate. Suddenly, the big black dog's eyes gleamed slyly. It leapt upward, transforming into a shadow and darting out of the cavern!

Gu Sheng, realizing the situation, gave chase immediately. He couldn't let this wicked Demon Beast escape! Thus, a high-speed pursuit commenced, with the two darting back and forth. The dog was exceptionally swift, but Gu Sheng wasn't far behind.

He activated the Carefree Ascension Step, keeping close on the black dog's tail. In a blink, they'd traversed dozens of miles!

At that moment, an unforeseen change occurred! The big black dog abruptly turned and leapt at Gu Sheng! Gu Sheng was startled, not expecting the sudden attack, but he reacted quickly, thrusting out a golden palm to confront the dog.

A deafening "boom" echoed as their palms collided! The powerful shockwaves shattered the surrounding ice and snow.

Gu Sheng felt a massive recoil force that pushed him back several steps before he could stabilize his stance. The big black dog was also sent flying, tumbling several times before stopping!

Both sides suffered considerable impacts. Gu Sheng felt his blood and Qi churning within, while the big black dog lay on the ground, panting heavily, evidently wounded as well!

Still, it showed no signs of giving up. Struggling to stand, its eyes burned with a fierce light as it stared at Gu Sheng, ready to attack again.

Gu Sheng, wary, knew this was no ordinary Demon Beast. He would need to give everything to defeat it. Drawing a deep breath, he concentrated all his energy, preparing for the final showdown!

The sparse tree ice field was engulfed in biting wind, with snowflakes sharp as swords.

Gu Sheng's confrontation with the big black dog seemed to infuse the silent ice field with an air of foreboding and slaughter.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" The big black dog's barking shattered the quiet. Its gaze glinted with ferocity, clearly unwilling to relent.

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow, his voice chilling: "Beast, you've repeatedly seized humans. Today marks your end!"

As if understanding Gu Sheng's words, the dog roared fiercely, its body moving like lightning toward Gu Sheng. This time, it employed an ancient bear-like attack technique, its form surging with black light, ferocious and primal, resembling an awakened prehistoric giant beast.

Gu Sheng, unflinching, invoked the Gale Nine Swords. Nine silver sword lights instantly slashed out, colliding with the dog's assault with explosive intensity.

"Boom!" A thunderous explosion reverberated across the ice plain, their attacks triggering a storm of violent energy.

Gu Sheng once again felt a powerful recoil that forced him back a few steps, while the dog was knocked away heavily, crashing to the ground.

"Beast, die!" Gu Sheng seized the opportunity, flashing toward the big black dog with the Jade Maiden Sword poised, aiming a deadly strike at its throat.

Yet the dog wasn't easily defeated. Despite its injuries, its combat prowess remained formidable. With a nimble motion, it dodged Gu Sheng's lethal blow, then spewed another stream of black flames toward him.

Alarmed, Gu Sheng hadn't anticipated this maneuver. He retreated swiftly while activating the Shadow Concealment Skill, causing his figure to become phantom-like. The black flames grazed him harmlessly.

"Woof! Woof!" Furious, the dog growled. Unwilling to back down, it launched another ferocious attack on Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng smirked coldly. Utilizing the Carefree Ascension Step, his body danced like a phantom across the ice field. With each movement, he deftly evaded the dog's attacks.

Gold fists and palms flew incessantly as Gu Sheng engaged the dog in a furious melee.

The battle approached its climax, with every collision sparking deafening explosions. Their silhouettes streaked across the frozen plains, resembling intertwining flashes of light.

As time wore on, the dog's injuries worsened. Its speed waned, and its power weakened, while Gu Sheng maintained peak condition. Each strike from him filled the dog with dread.

Finally, after a fierce collision, the dog collapsed to the ground. It tried to rise, but its strength had fully waned.

The defeated animal's eyes reflected terror and reluctance, conceding completely to Gu Sheng.

Standing before it, Gu Sheng uttered coldly, "Beast, do you repent?"

The dog lowered its head and whimpered faintly, appearing to plead for mercy, but Gu Sheng showed no intention of sparing it. As he raised the Jade Maiden Sword to deliver a swift end...

Suddenly, an unforeseen shift! The dog looked up rapidly, a cunning flash in its eyes. It invoked its Secret Technique, transforming into a streak of black light and fleeing into the distance.

"Think you can escape?"

Gu Sheng sneered, activating the Carefree Ascension Step to pursue. He couldn't let the wicked Demon Beast escape, for the consequences would be dire!

The dog's speed was staggering beyond belief, vanishing rapidly at the horizon.

Despite giving chase with all his might, Gu Sheng failed to close the gap. Sighing inwardly, he realized letting the dog escape posed a significant future threat.

Knowing a chase now would be futile, Gu Sheng resolved to return to his group and inform them of the situation.

Turning back, his heart brimming with vigilance, he understood this was not the end. Though the dog had fled, its ominous presence remained.
