Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1441: Chapter 743: Are You Alright? (Part 2)

Yet Gu Sheng stood tall amidst this terrifying pressure, a mocking glint in his eyes.

”Is this all you have?”

Gu Sheng let out a cold laugh, and suddenly, four deafening booms erupted from within him.

”Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Four dazzling pillars of light shot up from behind him, transforming into four massive energy vortices, ravenously devouring the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy.

Gu Sheng’s aura soared higher and higher, astonishingly reversing the ancestor’s pressure!

”The Four Great Domains?!”

The ancestor’s pupils shrank abruptly, a look of surprise appearing on his haggard face for the first time.

”You are merely at the Fourth Level of the Earth Martial Realm, how is it possible...”

”Old codger, are you scared now?”

Gu Sheng’s long hair stirred without wind, as the Four Great Domains spun around him, violent True Qi surged throughout his body.

”Weren’t you arrogant just now?”

The ancestor’s expression fluctuated wildly; he had lived nearly a century, but had never seen such a monstrous talent.

Opening the Four Great Domains at the Earth Martial Realm, this was simply unheard of!

”Kid, you do have some abilities.”

The ancestor suppressed the shock within, his voice deep.

”But the gap between the Heavenly Martial Realm and the Earth Martial Realm is not something that can be bridged by a few domains. I give you one last chance...”

”Noisy!”

Gu Sheng impatiently interrupted.

”If you want to fight, fight! What’s the point of all this nonsense!”

The ancestor was finally thoroughly enraged, veins bulging on his forehead.

”Courting death!”

His withered hand thrust forward suddenly, and a massive Handprint, several meters high, condensed out of thin air, charging at Gu Sheng with unstoppable force.

Where the Handprint passed, the ground was gouged into deep trenches, the air emitted piercing blasts.

”Gu, watch out!”

Xie Qingxuan exclaimed in alarm.

But Gu Sheng did not dodge or evade. His right hand made a virtual grasp, and a Longsword, condensed from Gang Qi, instantly took shape.

His eyes shot out a burst of radiance, as he swung his sword against the Handprint.

”Break!”

With Sword Qi swirling, empowered by the Four Great Domains, this sword strike actually cleaved the massive Handprint apart.

Even more terrifying, the residual Sword Qi continued unabated, charging directly at the ancestor!

”What?!”

The ancestor’s expression changed drastically. Hastily dodging to the side, he was still grazed by the Sword Qi across his sleeve.

His extraordinary gray robe’s sleeve was split in half and fell to the ground.

A dead silence fell over the scene.

Meng Xiao’s mouth gaped, eyes filled with disbelief. The Xie siblings were also stunned; although they knew Gu Sheng was strong, they hadn’t expected him to be this powerful!

”First sword.”

Gu Sheng wielded the Gang Qi Longsword, his tone contemptuous.

”I said within three swords, I shall transcend realms and slay you.”

”Arrogant brat!”

The ancestor was utterly furious, his white hair standing on end.

”Today I shall make you beg for life but find death impossible!”

He rapidly formed Sealing gestures with both hands; in a flash, dozens of Handprints condensed in the air, each filled with terrifying strength capable of crushing Earth Martial Realm practitioners.

”Thousand Illusions Palm!”

The Handprints blasted towards Gu Sheng, sealing off all his escape routes.

Gu Sheng’s eyes harbored seriousness, but the cold smile on his lips did not diminish.

He secretly transmitted to Xie He.

”Take Qingxuan and leave, as far as possible.”

Xie He was momentarily stunned, then quickly reacted, struggling to drag his sister and fled to the distance.

”Trying to run?”

Meng Xiao saw this and attempted to block them, but was repelled by a sudden Sword Qi.

Filled with shock and anger, he looked at Gu Sheng, only to find that while dealing with the ancestor’s attack, Gu Sheng still had spare strength...

”Old codger, is this all you’ve got?”

While wielding his sword to fend off the Handprints, Gu Sheng continued to provoke.

”No wonder the Meng Family consists of waste; it seems the upper beam is crooked, and the lower beam is slanted!”

”Ahhh! This infuriates me!”

The ancestor, hair standing on end, attacked more fiercely.

”Today, if I don’t tear you limb from limb, I won’t be human!”

Gu Sheng projected a facade of arrogance outwardly.

He deliberately provoked continuously to thoroughly enrage his opponent, driving him to a deathly battle.

”Since we’ve made enemies, then let’s cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!”

Gu Sheng’s heart surged with murderous intent.

”Brat, courting death!”

The Meng Family Ancestor roared angrily, his palm bursting with thunder light, transforming into thousands of electric snakes to strike at Gu Sheng.

That ”Ten Thousand Thunder Heart Piercing Palm” was his famous technique; before the palm wind arrived, the violent thunder power had already ionized the surrounding air, producing a piercing crackling sound.

Gu Sheng’s eyes flashed with a keen light, and the Nine Great Cave Heavens in his body simultaneously connected, forming a layer of palpable golden light shield on his body surface.

”Boom!”

The thunder light crashed solidly against Gu Sheng, but the golden light shield remained unmoved, the violent thunder power unexpectedly blocked outside.

The Meng Family Ancestor’s pupils suddenly contracted, his heart filled with alarm.

”How is this possible?!”

Just as he was stunned, Gu Sheng’s figure suddenly disappeared from within the thunder light.

The ancestor’s hairs stood on end, and years of life-and-death combat experience made him instinctively sidestep to avoid.

”Hiss—”

A three-foot Qi Sword formed by Gang Qi grazed the ancestor’s neck, blood spurting forth like a fountain.

The ancestor groaned, staggering back several steps, his neck’s flesh curled back, faintly revealing a deep sword mark on his white neck bone.

”Old thing, you’ve got a tough body.”

Gu Sheng sneered, raising the Qi Sword in his hand again.

The Meng Family Ancestor’s eyes filled with horror; he had once had a miraculous encounter, cultivating a Body Refining Technique, making his bones as hard as refined steel. If not for that, the earlier sword strike would have decapitated him!

”Little beast!”

The ancestor roared in anger, his True Qi erupting, countless lightning bolts resembling silver snakes burst from his body, instantly covering ten yards around him.

Gu Sheng’s footwork shifted, employing the ”Light Splitting Step” to hastily retreat.

The spot where he had previously stood was blasted into a yard-deep pit by the thunder, the ground cracked.

Yet unexpectedly, the ancestor did not pursue; instead, gathering his True Qi, he encased the terrified Meng Xiao, transforming into tunneling light and fleeing to the distance.

”Trying to leave?”

Gu Sheng’s eyes sharpened, the Nine Great Cave Heavens within him running wildly, seven Divine Flame Qi Swords, red as blood, coalesced before him.

”Beichen Immortal Slaying Sword!”

With a low shout, seven Qi Swords shot through the air, swift as lightning.

Simultaneously, Gu Sheng’s complexion suddenly paled, a mouthful of blood spewed forth, and his figure swayed almost stumbling.

From afar, a heartrending scream was heard, faintly visible was a blood mist exploding from within the tunneling light. But its speed did not decrease, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

”What a pity...”

Gu Sheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, supported himself to sit down cross-legged. In one day, to have twice unleashed the Beichen Immortal Slaying Sword, even with his profound True Qi from the Nine Great Cave Heavens, he could not withstand it.

”Master! How are you?”

A worried voice of the Innate Spirit Embryo echoed in his mind.

Just as Gu Sheng was about to respond, suddenly his vision blurred, and an illusory shadow appeared in front of him.

The person wore a green robe, face indistinct, yet exuding an unfathomable aura.

”Yue Shen Gong...”

Gu Sheng recognized this shadow.

The shadow spoke no further, with a wave of his sleeve, Gu Sheng felt the world spin, the next moment he was positioned within a magnificent Bronze Hall.

”This is... the Divine Craft Maze Palace?”

Gu Sheng glanced around, recognizing it as the mysterious hall where he had initially obtained the Innate Spirit Embryo.

”You are seriously injured.”

Floating in mid-air, Yue Shen Gong’s shadow spoke, his voice ethereal as if emanating from the nine heavens.

”Rest here for three days, you will recover completely.”

Gu Sheng nodded, spoke no more, closed his eyes and operated his Cultivation Technique. The Nine Great Cave Heavens slowly rotated, beginning to absorb the hall’s rich Spiritual Energy.

Meanwhile, a hundred miles away in the sky, a tunneling light wavered.

The Meng Family Ancestor’s chest had three fist-sized bloody holes, shocking to see, the scorched wounds emitted a strong burnt odor.

Meng Xiao, cradled in his arms, had long been terrorized to an ashen face.

”Grand... grandfather, are you alright?”

Meng Xiao’s voice trembled.

The ancestor endured the severe pain, fetched a verdant green elixir pill from his bosom, swallowed it, and his complexion improved slightly.

”It’s nothing, I took a seventh-rank Returning Yang Pill in advance, I won’t die.”

Meng Xiao lowered his head, his voice filled with self-reproach.

”It’s all my fault for implicating grandfather...”

”Hmph!”

The ancestor snorted coldly but did not reprimand him.

”This time, take it as a lesson. The path of cultivation is not uncaringly traversed with family backing alone. Some people, even if their cultivation is inferior to yours, can still claim your life!”

Meng Xiao’s body trembled, his eyes filled with realization.

”Grandson understands.”

The ancestor nodded in satisfaction, then his face turned grim.
