Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 537: Chapter 292 The Plot of Destruction Hall_2

At that moment, a crisp voice suddenly rang in their ears: ”Young Master Gu, Saintess Yan, hurry into the secret realm entrance, I will hold him off!”

The sudden voice, like a celestial melody, pierced through the chaotic battlefield instantly, causing Gu Sheng and Yan Ruyu to feel a surge of spirit.

They turned to look, only to see a woman in flowing white robes standing not far away.

Her graceful figure resembled an immortal descending to the mortal realm, her beauty unmatched, her demeanor elegant and refined. It was none other than Elder You Lan, whom they had briefly met earlier!

Gu Sheng’s eyes flashed with surprise and delight: ”Elder You Lan, you’re here!”

Yan Ruyu also displayed deep respect: ”Elder, please lend us your aid!”

Elder You Lan nodded slightly, her expression solemn as she gazed at the black-robed elder: ”This man’s presence is due to my oversight, allowing him to infiltrate the Demon Clan’s territory. Now, I will give it my all to drive him out!”

The black-robed elder also noticed Elder You Lan at this moment, his face displaying a menacing smile: ”Oh? Another lamb to the slaughter! Today, I will show you my true power!”

With that, he slammed the ground fiercely, his figure instantly disappearing, leaving behind a fleeting shadow.

In a flash, he appeared before Elder You Lan, unleashing a palm strike brimming with overwhelming force, aimed straight at her chest!

Though the black-robed elder’s cultivation was unbelievably deep, Elder You Lan, a Sea Floor Realm triple-layer peak cultivator, was no easy opponent.

Elder You Lan maneuvered agilely, effortlessly dodging the strike, then countered with a swift sword thrust targeted at the black-robed elder’s throat!

The black-robed elder was caught off guard; he hadn’t expected Elder You Lan’s speed to be so astonishing! He had no time to evade and could only brace against the strike!

”Clang!”

A metallic clash resounded as Elder You Lan’s longsword collided with the black-robed elder’s arm.

However, the sword’s force was such that his arm felt a numbing jolt, and he inwardly cursed at the unexpected turn.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng and Yan Ruyu seized the opportunity to attack.

With a swift motion, they appeared behind the black-robed elder and delivered a fierce palm strike squarely to his back!

”Pfft~”

Caught off guard, the black-robed elder was hit directly in the back by their combined assault, spewing a mouthful of blood!

His figure staggered and nearly collapsed to the ground.

Yet, his cultivation remained formidable, and he quickly steadied himself.

Turning to face Gu Sheng and Yan Ruyu, his face contorted with fury: ”You little brats, daring to ambush me!”

Gu Sheng sneered: ”Against someone like you, an ambush is hardly out of line!”

”Boom~”

With that, he launched another attack, punching toward the black-robed elder’s head!

Yan Ruyu followed closely, striking toward his chest!

The black-robed elder roared angrily, channeling demonic power within himself, his figure instantly disappearing once again, leaving trails of shadows behind.

His incredible speed brought him before Gu Sheng in mere moments, launching yet another palm strike aimed at his throat!

”Bang~”

Gu Sheng reeled in shock; he hadn’t anticipated such speed from the black-robed elder! Unable to dodge, he had no choice but to take the strike head-on!

”Bang!”

A thunderous sound erupted as the black-robed elder’s palm landed heavily on Gu Sheng’s chest, sending him flying backward and crashing hard onto the ground!

Struggling to rise, Gu Sheng realized his chest had sunken inward from the blow, leaving him severely injured!

Simultaneously, Yan Ruyu too had been repelled, with blood trailing from the corner of her mouth, showing that she had also sustained significant injuries.

Elder You Lan was fully occupied fending off the black-robed elder’s fierce onslaught, and the situation grew dire!

At the crucial moment, Gu Sheng suddenly felt a surge of immense power erupt from within!

Activating his Ancient Sacred Body, his entire frame shimmered with golden radiance, and his injuries healed drastically in an instant!

He leapt to his feet, eyes blazing fiercely as he stared at the black-robed elder: ”Old Demon, your end has arrived!”

”Boom!”

With that proclamation, he vanished in a flash, reappearing before the black-robed elder with a powerful golden punch aimed directly at his skull!

This time, his speed surpassed before, and his strength had grown exponentially!

Alarmed, the black-robed elder could not evade in time, forced to take the attack head-on!

”Boom!”

An earth-shaking impact sounded as Gu Sheng’s fist landed squarely on the black-robed elder’s head!

The blow sent the black-robed elder flying backward, landing heavily against the ground!

His head had caved in from the strike, blood spilling profusely, confirming that he was beyond saving!

At this moment, Yan Ruyu and Elder You Lan used the opportunity to deliver the final blow.

With swift motions, they approached the black-robed elder and together unleashed a palm strike that utterly destroyed his Primordial Spirit!

”Ah!?”

Not even a scream escaped as the black-robed elder vanished entirely from this world!

With the black-robed elder’s demise, the entire cavern fell silent.

Gu Sheng, Yan Ruyu, and Elder You Lan exchanged glances and breathed a collective sigh of relief.

They knew that it was their teamwork that allowed them to defeat the black-robed elder.

Though victorious, greater tasks awaited them.

Through investigations, they learned that the black-robed elder, named Black Mountain Old Demon, was a member of Destruction Hall.

His visit to the Demon Clan’s territory had been an attempt to annex it and expand Destruction Hall’s influence.

Fortunately, the three had uncovered and thwarted his sinister plot; otherwise, the consequences could have been catastrophic.

Moreover, they became acutely aware of the weaknesses in the Demon Clan’s defenses.

While Elder You Lan bore accountability as the Protecting Mountain Elder, there was no time to dwell on fault.

”Now that this is dealt with, we must rush to restore the array immediately,” Elder You Lan said gravely.

Yan Ruyu nodded in agreement: ”Indeed, the safety of the Demon Clan cannot be compromised in the slightest.”

Gu Sheng also understood the pressing importance. As he scanned his surroundings, he couldn’t help but marvel: ”This Demon Clan territory truly feels like an Immortal Realm!”

Cascading waterfalls, clear streams, the sound of water flowing resonated like heavenly music in their ears.

Exquisite blossoms competed in splendor, vibrant and aromatic, imparting a sense of serenity.

The spiritual energy was so rich it appeared almost liquified, and every breath seemed to draw the purest essence from the world.

At the convergence of Dragon Veins, brilliant rays cascaded in fiery red arcs, auspicious energies surged in violet sprays.

The entire Demon Clan territory was bathed in an aura of divine sanctity, akin to a realm shielded by celestial beings.

Quickly returning to the core area of the Demon Clan territory, the trio began repairing the array damaged by the black-robed elder.

Thanks to their combined effort, the array was restored rapidly, even stronger than before.

Yan Ruyu turned to Gu Sheng and Elder You Lan, gratitude shining in her eyes: ”This time, it was thanks to you both. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.”

Gu Sheng waved dismissively: ”Saintess Yan, we are friends. It’s only natural to support one another.”

Elder You Lan smiled warmly: ”That’s right. The Demon Clan and humans should coexist peacefully, preserving this beautiful land together.”

After the array restoration, Yan Ruyu decided to host a banquet to express her gratitude to Gu Sheng on behalf of the Demon Clan.

The grand feast was held in the Hundred Flowers Garden, surrounded by dazzling flowers and exotic plants, their fragrances intoxicating. The mingling aromas of wine and blossoms created an unparalleled ambiance of delight.

”Young Master Gu, please!” Yan Ruyu raised her glass to toast Gu Sheng, her face radiant with sincerity.

Gu Sheng returned the toast with a smile: ”Saintess Yan, after you!”

The two conversed freely, discussing matters of the world, their rapport harmonious. But suddenly, the ringing laughter of silver bells disrupted the tranquil atmosphere.

”Hehehe, I heard the Demon Clan has a distinguished guest; I had to come personally to take a look,” a charming voice chimed.

Gu Sheng lifted his gaze to see a woman dressed in a flowing purple gown approach with elegant poise. Her features were stunningly exquisite, her figure graceful, an ethereal presence as if she had stepped out of a painting.

”Elder Ziwei!” Yan Ruyu rose and bowed to the woman in purple.

It was revealed that this violet-clad woman was one of the Demon Clan’s elders—Elder Ziwei.

Though she had lived for centuries, she still appeared youthful, her beauty unmatched, leaving all captivated.

Elder Ziwei stepped up to Gu Sheng, appraising him with a smile before laughing whimsically: ”Indeed, a fine young man. No wonder our Saintess Yan holds you in such high regard.”
