Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 555: Chapter 301 Auction of Yaoguang’s Personal Items_2

At this moment, an unexpected person suddenly appeared—the Shaking Light Saintess!

She was dressed in white and floated gracefully, her face carrying a trace of icy killing intent and boundless fury. It was clear that she had already learned of the events at the auction and was here to reclaim her dignity.

”You shameless scoundrels!”

The beautiful eyes of the Shaking Light Saintess shot out two beams of icy light as she glared at Gu Sheng and the others, her voice cold as frost. ”To dare humiliate me like this! Today, I will make you pay a tragic price!”

Before the words had fully left her mouth, her figure moved, rising like a blossoming white lotus, and she activated the White Lotus Blossom Cultivation Technique to attack Gu Sheng and his group! In an instant, numerous pure white lotus flowers bloomed in the sky, and each petal transformed into a sharp attack, sweeping forth with the sound of howling wind!

Seeing this, Gu Sheng sneered, ”Perfect timing! Today, let’s settle this once and for all!” He didn’t retreat, but instead advanced, using Gale Nine Swords to meet the attack head-on! The other four immediately joined in the battle, facing off against the Shaking Light Saintess!

At that moment, a powerful voice suddenly rang out, ”Stop! This is a trading conference; fighting is strictly prohibited!”

As the voice faded, a commanding aura descended, separating Gu Sheng and the Shaking Light Saintess and the others. Everyone raised their heads to see a middle-aged man in splendid robes standing in the air, his piercing gaze sweeping over the crowd.

”So it’s one of the trading conference’s enforcers,” Gu Sheng thought to himself. He knew this person’s strength was unfathomable, so he cupped his hands and said, ”Senior, we did not intend to fight here, but this Shaking Light Saintess has gone too far, leaving us no choice but to defend ourselves.”

”Hmph! Whatever disputes you have, fights are strictly forbidden inside the trading conference,” the middle-aged man said with a cold snort. ”If you wish to settle your grudges, take them outside!”

The Shaking Light Saintess heard this and sneered, ”Fine! Gu Sheng, if you have the guts, follow me outside to settle this!” With that, her figure shifted, flying toward the exterior of the trading conference.

”Afraid of you? Not a chance,” Gu Sheng sneered back, immediately following behind her. The other four quickly followed suit.

Soon, they arrived above the city. By this time, night had fallen, but the city’s lights illuminated the sky as though it were day. Gu Sheng and the Shaking Light Saintess stood opposite each other, their auras full of hostility.

”Gu Sheng, the humiliation I suffered today will be repaid a hundredfold!” the Shaking Light Saintess said through gritted teeth.

”Hmph! That depends on whether you’re capable of doing so,” Gu Sheng scoffed. He knew that the Shaking Light Saintess’s cultivation was one major realm above his, but he felt no fear. After all, he possessed the Ancient Sacred Body alongside numerous powerful cultivation techniques and martial arts!

Without further words, both sides initiated their techniques and clashed! In an instant, sword qi filled the air, lotus flowers danced wildly, and the scene became intensely chaotic and violent! Wu Tianxiong, Kou Hai, Ying Tianxing, and Xing Lie observed the battle from the side, sometimes mocking and commenting.

”Go, Brother Gu! Take down that vile woman!”

”Careful, Brother Gu! This woman is no easy opponent!”

...

Inside the trading conference, many curious onlookers gathered outside to observe the battle, discussing fervently. Some cheered for Gu Sheng, while others betted on the Shaking Light Saintess.

The outcome of the battle was beyond everyone’s expectations. In less than fifteen minutes, the Shaking Light Saintess was utterly defeated! The white soft armor shield on her body was shattered by Gu Sheng’s golden fists, and she fell like a kite with a broken string!

”Pfft~”

The Shaking Light Saintess spit out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, she managed to stabilize herself mid-air with a flip, avoiding a humiliating crash. However, her appearance was still pitiful—blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her face was as pale as paper.

Evidently, she had sustained significant injuries and could no longer fight. A trace of fear and resentment flashed in her eyes. She realized she had truly lost this time! Originally confident in her superior cultivation, she thought she could easily defeat Gu Sheng and his allies and reclaim her dignity. Yet, she had been dealt an overwhelming defeat instead!

This filled her heart with humiliation and rage! However, she knew she wasn’t Gu Sheng’s match now; she had no choice but to swallow her pride for the time being. Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself, looked up at Gu Sheng, and said, ”Gu Sheng, I’ll remember today’s grudge! The future is long; we’ll see who prevails then!”

Gu Sheng paid no heed to her threats, only staring at her coldly. ”Any last words?”

The Shaking Light Saintess wasn’t entirely desperate. Instead, a sly glimmer shone in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, ”Gu Sheng, killing me won’t benefit you. How about making a deal instead?”

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.

Seeing his reaction, the Shaking Light Saintess was secretly relieved and hurriedly said, ”If you spare me, I’ll tell you a secret about an ancient mining zone. It’s a place abundant in spiritual energy and raw stones, with numerous ancient creatures unearthed there. Such a treasure trove must interest you, right?”

Hearing this, Gu Sheng indeed showed a hint of interest. After thinking for a moment, he nodded. ”Fine, I’ll accept this deal. But if you try any tricks, I’ll show you the true meaning of living in pain!”

The Shaking Light Saintess heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said, ”Don’t worry. I’ll keep my word.”

After the deal was struck, the Shaking Light Saintess revealed the location of the ancient mining zone to Gu Sheng. True to his word, Gu Sheng allowed her to leave, though not without issuing a final warning.

Thus, this battle and transaction ended in a comical and unexpectedly amusing manner.

Wu Tianxiong, Kou Hai, Ying Tianxing, and Xing Lie all gathered around, looking at Gu Sheng with admiration. ”Brother Gu, you’re amazing! Even someone as powerful as the Shaking Light Saintess fell before you!”

”Hahaha...” Gu Sheng laughed heartily, ”Not only did we come out ahead today, but we also obtained the secret of an ancient mining zone! What a brilliant day it’s been!” He clapped the shoulders of the others and said, ”Come on! Let’s go have some drinks!”

The five of them left the trading conference arm in arm, leaving behind a crowd of curious onlookers and murmurs. Meanwhile, the Shaking Light Saintess departed the city with a heart full of humiliation and fury, vowing to reclaim her glory one day!

After leaving the trading conference, the five found a tavern to celebrate heartily. After rounds of drinks and plates of food, Gu Sheng put down his cup, looked at Wu Tianxiong and the others, and said, ”Brothers, defeating the Shaking Light Saintess today was possible only because of our unity. Here’s to you all!”

The four others raised their cups and cheered. Xing Lie laughed loudly and said, ”Brother Gu, you’re too modest! We’re brothers, and it’s only natural to support each other through thick and thin!”

”Absolutely! Brother Xing is right!” Wu Tianxiong and the other two echoed.

After another hearty drink, Gu Sheng continued, ”But while we defeated the Shaking Light Saintess this time, we shouldn’t get complacent. She’s, after all, the Holy Daughter of the Shaking Light Sacred Land. She has deep roots, and who knows if she’ll come back for revenge?”

”Don’t worry, Brother Gu; we’ll remain vigilant,” Kou Hai said. ”Moreover, now that we have the secret of the ancient mining zone, once we strengthen ourselves further, even if she returns, we won’t fear her!”

”Well said! Let’s quickly set out for the ancient mining zone!” Gu Sheng’s eyes flickered with determination. ”I believe there are unimaginable opportunities and treasures there waiting for us!”

”Hahaha... Brother Gu is right! Let’s set off for the ancient mining zone now!” The five laughed in unison, overflowing with heroic spirit as they left the tavern.

What they didn’t know was that the Shaking Light Saintess had already secretly contacted the elders of the Shaking Light Sacred Land, planning to ambush them along the way!

Several days later, Gu Sheng and his group followed the Shaking Light Saintess’s guidance to the entrance of the ancient mining zone. Before them stood a towering mountain, with a deep cave halfway up its slope. The entrance was shrouded in dense spiritual energy and an eerie, mysterious aura.

”This is the entrance to the ancient mining zone!” Gu Sheng’s eyes sparkled with excitement. ”Everyone get ready; let’s venture inside!”
