Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Mu Feng held his sister’s trembling hand, but his gaze was fixed intently on the battlefield.

”Don’t panic, Gu knows what he’s doing.”

Just as the giant hand was about to strike down, Gu Sheng suddenly patted the storage bag on his waist. A simple bronze bell flew out, growing larger against the wind.

”Dang—”

The melodious sound of the bell echoed in all directions, with sound waves visible to the naked eye spreading outwards.

The imposing bluish-black giant hand astonishingly disintegrated inch by inch under the bell sound, turning into spots of spiritual light that dissipated.

”The Ancient Reincarnation Bell?!”

Tie San staggered back two steps, all color drained from his face.

”You’re the one who killed Long Teng...”

Beside him, Young Master Qin’s legs went weak, almost causing him to kneel.

”It’s over... it’s that calamity star...”

Gu Sheng sneered silently, his right hand grasping the air as a long, white sword wreathed in black and white qi appeared out of nowhere.

Where the sword pointed, the Yin Yang Qi swirled, disturbing the spiritual energy within a ten-meter radius.

”The Tai Chi Seven Star Sword!”

Tie San’s voice trembled, and deep dread flashed in his eyes.

”Gu Sheng, there’s no grievance between us, today’s matter...”

”Begging for mercy now? Too late!”

Gu Sheng twisted the blade, and the Yin Yang Qi transformed into a ribbon sweeping across.

”This sword repays your earlier Profound Yin Palm!”

Tie San hastily drew a blood-red long blade to block. At the instant the blade and sword clashed, a piercing metallic breaking sound echoed.

The seemingly extraordinary spiritual blade was sliced in half!

”Ah!”

Tie San screamed in agony, his left arm severed at the shoulder, blood spurting three meters.

Clutching his wound, he staggered back in disbelief.

”My Blood Evil Saber... it’s a Xuan Rank top-grade spiritual artifact!”

Gu Sheng pointed the sword tip towards the ground, drops of fresh blood sliding down the blade.

He approached slowly, his voice icy.

”Long Teng wielded an Earth Rank spiritual artifact ’Azure Dragon Halberd,’ and cultivated the ’Nine Revolutions Celestial Dragon Technique.’ And you? A broken saber with an incomplete Profound Yin Technique?”

Tie San’s face twisted, suddenly he knelt down.

”Spare me, Gu! It was all Young Master Qin’s doing, I’m willing to give up everything I own...”

”Tie San! Have you lost your mind?”

Young Master Qin shrieked sharply.

”You think begging will spare you? If you can’t kill him, my father will make you wish for death!”

Tie San’s body stiffened.

Gu Sheng was already raising his sword.

”Save it. From the moment you attacked Ling Xiao and the others, your fate was sealed.”

”You forced my hand!”

Tie San suddenly grinned ferociously, his right hand slapping his Heavenly Spirit Cover.

”Blood Demon Disintegration Technique!”

”Not good!”

Ling Xiao’s face changed drastically, quickly pulling Mu Feng and his sister back.

”He’s going all out!”

Blood oozed from all of Tie San’s pores, turning him into a man covered in blood. Yet his aura climbed rapidly, breaking through the late stage of the Taichu Realm in the blink of an eye, reaching the peak!

”Gu Sheng!”

Tie San’s voice became hoarse and terrifying.

”To force me to use this forbidden technique, I must take your life today!”

The flesh at his severed arm writhed, blood energy forming a new arm.

Gu Sheng’s expression was grave, shouting to Ling Xiao.

”Get them back a hundred meters!”

Meanwhile, he secretly operated the ’Chaos Dao Scripture,’ the spiritual power vortex in his Dantian spinning rapidly, surging through his meridians.

”Perish!”

Tie San abruptly moved to attack, his speed several times faster than before. His blood hand transformed into countless hand shadows, each strike bringing a pungent bloody wind, sealing all of Gu Sheng’s escape routes.

”Yin Yang Reversal!”

Gu Sheng drew a circle with his longsword, the Yin Yang Qi forming a Tai Chi Pattern before him. The hand shadows slammed into the Tai Chi Pattern with deafening eruptions.

With a crack, fissures appeared on the Tai Chi Pattern.

Gu Sheng grunted, retreating, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

He was secretly alarmed.

”The peak of the Taichu Realm is indeed formidable, this palm power rivals Long Teng’s full-force strike...”

Tie San pressed his advantage, launching a fierce assault with both palms.

Gu Sheng fought back while retreating, exchanging over a hundred moves in an instant.

His tiger’s mouth was torn, the right hand holding the sword trembled slightly, yet he still calmly observed Tie San’s flaws.

”Hahaha! So this is the genius who killed Long Teng, nothing much at all!”

Tie San laughed wildly, his attacks intensified even further.

”Once I kill you, that bell and sword of yours will be mine! Maybe I can even find a treasure to rebuild my foundation...”

”Tie San, do you really want a death match with me?”

Gu Sheng held the Tai Chi Seven Star Sword, its tip pointing to the ground, with spiritual power surging around him.

Tie San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered.

”Gu Sheng, today it’s either you die or I perish! For the Holy Land’s bounty, it’s worth betting everything!”

Before finishing his words, Tie San’s hands formed a seal, and an intense blood-red light suddenly erupted from his body.

His aura soared, skyrocketing from the late stage of the Heavenly Palace Realm to the peak of the Taichu Realm!

”Blood Evil Soul Burning Technique!”

Ling Xiao’s face changed dramatically, and the Golden Alms Bowl was instantly summoned to protect the siblings Mu Feng and Mu Xi.

”Gu, be careful, he’s forcibly boosting his realm by burning essence blood!”

Gu Sheng’s pupils contracted; the pressure of the Taichu Realm peak made even his breath hitch.

Tie San, at this moment, was covered in blood and sneered.

”Gu Sheng, to force me into using this move, you can indeed be proud!”

”Madman!”

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth.

”Once this secret technique is over, your realm will fall to the Heavenly Palace Realm, and you’ll never recover for life!”

”So what?”

Tie San laughed manically.

”Kill you, seize your treasure, the Holy Land’s reward will make up for everything!”

Tie San stopped wasting words and struck out with a palm; the blood-colored handprint expanded with the wind, growing to ten zhangs in size, cracking the ground where it passed and turning trees into powder.

”Infinite Sword Qi!”

Gu Sheng dared not delay; the Tai Chi Seven Star Sword burst with dazzling light, and seven star patterns lit up sequentially on the sword’s body.

The spiritual power within him rushed madly into the sword, which vibrated and let out a clear dragon-like cry.

”Slash!”

A brilliant sword qi cut through the sky, colliding violently with the blood-colored handprint.

”Boom——”

In the earth-shattering explosion, violent spiritual power turbulence swept in all directions.

Young Master Qin bore the brunt, screaming as he was flung back tens of zhangs, crashing heavily against a large stone, spitting blood.

Ling Xiao’s Golden Alms Bowl shone brilliantly, shielding Mu Feng and Mu Xi behind, while he himself was shaken back seven steps by the shock wave, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

”Brother!”

Mu Xi cried out in alarm, seeing a fragment of spiritual power shooting towards them.

Without hesitation, Mu Feng turned to protect his sister in his arms.

With a ”puff,” the fragment pierced through his shoulder, dragging out a burst of blood.

In the center of the battlefield, Gu Sheng and Tie San’s figures were swallowed by the exploding dust cloud. The clashing sound of metal was unceasing, and the ground shook non-stop, clearly, they were fighting to the death.

”Gu...”

Ling Xiao’s face was tense, yet he dared not rush forward.

At this level of combat, even the shockwaves could severely injure them.

In the dust cloud, Tie San was increasingly shocked as the fight went on.

He initially thought his Taichu Realm peak strength would crush Gu Sheng, but didn’t expect the other’s eerie sword qi could stand against him.

”Impossible! You’re merely in the Heavenly Palace Realm, how are you stopping me?”

Tie San roared, his palms continuously striking out eighteen blood seals.

Gu Sheng’s face was pale as the Tai Chi Seven Star Sword turned into a curtain of light, shattering the blood seals one by one. But he knew the Infinite Sword Qi was consuming too much, and he couldn’t hold on much longer.

”The last sword!”

Gu Sheng bit his tongue tip, spraying a mouthful of essence blood onto the sword. The Tai Chi Seven Star Sword instantly glowed brightly, with seven stars detaching from the sword and forming the shape of the Big Dipper in the sky.

”Seven Stars Slash!”

Seven strands of sword qi merged into one, transforming into a towering beam of light, straight for Tie San’s chest.

”No——”

In desperation, Tie San summoned a bronze shield, but heard a ”crack,” and the shield shattered upon impact.

The sword qi continued unabated, piercing through his right chest, releasing a massive splash of blood.

”Ah!”

Tie San screamed as he was violently flung back, crashing heavily onto the ground.

He struggled to get up, horrifyingly realizing that the secret technique’s time was up, his spiritual power retreating, and his realm rapidly falling to the early stage of the Heavenly Palace Realm.

”Gu Sheng... you...”

Tie San stared venomously at the tottering Gu Sheng but dared not continue fighting and turned to flee.

Gu Sheng kneeled on one knee, using his sword to steady himself.

His spiritual power was exhausted, leaving him so weak that even a normal person could kill him now.

”Gu!”

Ling Xiao hurriedly came forward to support him.

”Don’t mind me...”

Gu Sheng panted.

”Young Master Qin... can’t let him live...”

Not far away, Young Master Qin was struggling to rise, his face covered in blood. Seeing Gu Sheng look over, he backed away in terror.
