Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

```

In his eyes, the simultaneous strikes from both Cheng Yu and Song Yu should have been more than enough to take down Gu Chen.

Yan State was in turmoil, and not only was Da Xia unable to get the intelligence in time, but the Marquis of Pingxi as well. They had no knowledge of the situation in Yulong City, nor were they aware of the news that Gu Chen had killed Wuying and others.

He had thought that Wuying was still searching for Gu Chen's whereabouts.

"To wear out iron shoes in fruitless searching, only to find the effort effortlessly rewarded," the Marquis of Pingxi remarked with a faint smile. After seizing Gu Chen's latent potential and the demon inside him, he would achieve the status of a Martial Arts Grand Master of the Congenital Realm in the shortest moment possible.

By then, in all of Nine Provinces, the Marquis of Pingxi would truly hold discourse power, rather than being at the mercy of others, as he was now.

"You little bastard, die!"

Xu Wei, with his imposing stature, charged at Gu Chen like an iron tower. Along the way, many Da Xia soldiers were blown apart by his charge.

Gu Chen naturally recognized Xu Wei, knowing he was one of the Marquis of Pingxi's capable subordinates. Upon seeing Xu Wei charge over, Gu Chen's eyes turned cold as he fixed his gaze on him.

The moment Xu Wei saw the profound and dark depths of Gu Chen's eyes, he inexplicably felt a chill in his heart, but the next moment he sneered and said, "Bluffing!"

However, Lin Zhan, who was standing behind him, sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Gu Chen the instant he made his move and quickly warned, "Xu Wei, be careful, something is off with this kid!"

A body cultivated to Gu Chen's level already possessed some of the divine abilities of an innate, flawless physique. Even martial artists of the same level might not be able to perceive Gu Chen's strength if he did not make a move, let alone Xu Wei, whose strength was inferior to his, couldn't see through Gu Chen at all.

"What..."

Xu Wei's expression changed, and he was about to speak, but by then, Gu Chen had already approached him, and his golden fist loomed large in Xu Wei's eyes.

At this moment, Xu Wei's pupils dilated in panic. He felt an overpowering force emanating from Gu Chen, as if a volcano erupting with power many times mightier than his own.

"You're a sect..."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a 'puff' sound. Under Gu Chen's golden fist, Xu Wei was killed without a whole corpse left!

The Marquis of Pingxi, who was paying close attention from a distance, saw Xu Wei die but felt no sadness. On the contrary, he looked at Gu Chen with interest.

After all, in the Marquis of Pingxi's view, whether it was the current situation or his own strength, he had more than enough to crush Gu Chen. So, the stronger Gu Chen was, the happier he became.

Because by doing so, after he had seized Gu Chen's latent potential, his gains would be even greater.

"Xu Wei!"

Lin Zhan's expression darkened, realizing that Gu Chen had a cultivation comparable to a Martial Arts Master who had undergone six blood exchanges, he said with resentment, "Had I known, I should have killed you outright on the day you arrived in Yongxue City."

"You won't have that chance anymore!"

Gu Chen was grimly murderous. Be it Lin Zhan or Xu Wei, they were all the Marquis of Pingxi's accomplices and equally detestable in Gu Chen's eyes.

His intense killing intent felt like a scraping knife on one's bones, causing Lin Zhan physical pain.

"What formidable strength!" Lin Zhan became tense, fully concentrating.

At the same time, the Marquis of Pingxi also fixed his gaze on Gu Chen, as if trying to discern his foundation.

Then, on the battlefield, a fierce battle broke out between Gu Chen and Lin Zhan, with both sides exchanging blows with intense ferocity.

"Without six blood exchanges yet able to contend with Lin Zhan, who has undergone six, this Gu Chen indeed has secrets." A sharp gleam flashed in the Marquis of Pingxi's eyes, and he knew that the barbarian high priest Saranguis had not deceived him.

With this thought, the Marquis of Pingxi looked forward to it even more.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the barbarian soldiers grew ever more courageous, while Da Xia, on the other hand, was steadily retreating. Chen Yu, and even Song Yu, were desperately fighting against the barbarians and the Demon Cult, along with the Breaking Wave Clan, the Qiu family, and members from the White Tiger Clan and Feixue Sword Sect.

But a drastic disadvantage in numbers and high-level combat power left Da Xia with no chance to turn the tide. By now, Yongxue City had been completely breached; the barbarian army had poured in, and it wouldn't be long before the fight came to an end.

Every soul in Yongxue City was doomed to die, Yan State would fall entirely, countless lives extinguished, rivers of blood formed, mountains of corpses rose, and the Demon Cult would blood sacrifice every person in Yan State. Yan State would become a veritable Asura hell.

Bang!

```

Suddenly, a figure plummeted from the sky and crashed into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Ninth Knowledge!"

Yan Qing, the Guardian of Jing Tian Department in Yan State, and the two grandmasters from the Wang family turned pale. In their urgency, they wanted to rescue.

"Today, everyone here must die!" The leader of the Great Dark Sky Sect roared, and instantly, the earth tremored as a colossal phantom of a black evil deity appeared behind him.

"Pfft!"

At this moment, the congenital great grandmaster of the martial arts from the Yao Platform Sect, the old crone, also spat out blood and fell from the sky.

The difference in numbers led to the complete defeat of the Da Xia side.

The barbarians and the demon sect side, with seven congenital great grandmasters joining hands, presented such a formidable might that every face from Da Xia showed a look of utter despair.

"Is this where it ends…" Chen Yu clenched his teeth, gazing towards the sky.

Desperation flickered in the eyes of Yan Qing, the Guardian of Jing Tian Department in Yan State.

On the other side, Gu Chen and Lin Zhan were fighting and retreating, soon reaching a location on the edge of the battlefield.

Seeing Gu Chen fighting and retreating, Lin Zhan, who had the upper hand, taunted him, "What's the matter, scared? Thinking of running now, isn't it a bit late?"

Gu Chen didn't speak. His left palm was clenched tightly; he didn't know if the ferocious weapon in his grasp had the power to reverse the current situation.

But regardless, Gu Chen had to try. He exerted all his strength, attempting to mobilize the power deep within the flesh of his left fist, but he found that it was completely unmoved.

This couldn't help but cause a change in Gu Chen's expression.

"I know you can hear me, lend me your strength!" Gu Chen's eyes were bloodshot as he roared softly.

Seeing Gu Chen muttering to himself, Lin Zhan couldn't help but sneer, "What, have you gone mad with fear of death? Let me tell you, pretending to be mad won't help. Your life belongs to the Lord Marquis!"

Gu Chen ignored Lin Zhan. He stared fixedly at the palm of his left hand; he knew that the piece of gauntlet might not be some high-grade divine weapon but a sinister weapon, residing within his flesh, likely scheming something.

Even the inferior Divine Weapon Blood Shadow Sword had a certain independent consciousness and could communicate simply with Gu Chen, let alone the sinister weapon embedded in Gu Chen's hand.

It didn't respond, because it simply didn't want to pay any attention to Gu Chen at all, treating Gu Chen as a tool to help it collect blood essence and souls.

"Lend me your strength, or I will hand you over right now!" Gu Chen's expression was fierce, like a prisoner cornered and desperate.

That appearance, that momentum, and the killing intent emanating from his body made even Lin Zhan shiver.

After all, in the battle at Yulong City, Gu Chen had killed who knows how many barbarian soldiers, and nearly the entire twelve-hundred-thousand strong barbarian army died at his hands. The accumulated killing intent was incredibly terrifying; even Lin Zhan felt a chill.

"Fine, if you don't want to cooperate, then let's both perish!" As he spoke, Gu Chen's expression grew cold, and he prepared to sever his own left hand with his hand shaped like a knife!

Seeing this, Lin Zhan frowned deeply, feeling from the bottom of his heart that Gu Chen might have truly gone mad, driven to madness.

Clang!

A layer of light autonomously appeared over Gu Chen's left palm, blocking him.

Immediately after, the light rapidly spread, and then covered Gu Chen's entire body.

Boom! Continue your journey with empire

A fearsome might erupted like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami surging from Gu Chen's body. The strength of this breath was too mighty, like an ancient war god awakening, and its powerful essence tore through the clouds above.

Rumble!

In the next instant, a dazzling pillar of light burst forth, connecting heaven and earth. Suddenly, the entire battlefield erupted into chaos!
