Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Lin Bai's words were sharp and incisive, and in just a few sentences, he had pushed Gu Chen into the eye of the storm, immediately making him the target of public criticism.

The heart of Shen Han, who stood behind Lin Bai, instantly relaxed, and in his gaze towards Lin Bai, a sincere admiration emerged.

As for the martial artists from the Tianxie Sect and the Rakshasa Sect, upon hearing Lin Bai's words, they nodded in approval, thinking that it was indeed worthy of their young master. Not only was he immensely gifted in cultivation talent, but his eloquence was equally sharp.

He had rendered the Martial Marquis of Da Xia speechless by splashing the dirty water right out, securing his own position in absolute safety.

At that moment, even Yuwen Wind and Ouyang Yu looked at Gu Chen with vigilant faces. They wondered whether the greatest opportunity in the spiritual realm was also known to the Six Union God Sect.

Of course, the news of Dugu Yun being alive was known to the six major holy lands; this was a remarkable existence. Even when the six major holy lands dealt with Dugu Yun back then, it had cost them quite a bit of effort.

But that was not all. Lin Bai continued, "Brother Gu, if you are not the young master of the Six Union God Sect, why is your killing intent so intense? Could it not be to help the Six Union God Sect collect essence blood? With all these incidents, how do you, Brother Gu, explain yourself?"

At this moment, everyone's gaze was firmly fixed on Gu Chen, waiting for him to speak.

But who would have thought that after Lin Bai had said so much, which seemed almost definite in the eyes of the public, Gu Chen was not only not tense in a situation where everyone viewed him as an adversary, he actually smiled.

"I didn't expect that, aside from your strong cultivation, you also have such a sharp tongue. This is quite a surprise to me," Gu Chen said, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"Brother Gu flatters me," Lin Bai responded with a smile. "With things having come this far, do you still refuse to admit it, Brother Gu?"

Gu Chen said, "Since you insist you are not the young master of the Six Union God Sect, and the Purple Extreme Sect has no collusion with the Six Union God Sect, and you are not familiar with Shen Han, why did you stand up for him when I confronted him?"

Lin Bai said, "I simply couldn't stand by and watch Brother Gu being so aggressive. Seeing injustice on the road, I lent a helping hand; it's that simple."

"What a gallant instance of 'seeing injustice on the road and lending a helping hand,'" Gu Chen said. "I didn't expect that one day I would hear such words from the mouth of the young master of the Six Union God Sect. I wonder what your sect leader Dugu Yun would think when he finds out?"

Upon hearing the name "Dugu Yun," people like Lu Xing and Bu Nantian immediately changed their expression.

Clearly, they did not know the news that Dugu Yun was still alive.

Lin Bai remained unperturbed, with victory in his grasp, and said with a light smile, "With things having come to this point, Brother Gu, you still won't admit it. Since you are so unwilling to give in, how do you intend to explain it, Brother Gu?"

"You want me to explain?" Gu Chen retorted.

"Yes, explain," Lin Bai nodded affirmatively, gazing intently at Gu Chen.

At that moment, the smile on Gu Chen's face disappeared, and his expression was calm, his eyes dark and deep. With an indifferent tone, he said something that surprised everyone present.

"Explain? I have no explanation, nor do I need to explain. If I say you are, then you are!"

Apparently, Lin Bai had not expected Gu Chen to play his cards in such an unconventional manner. His expression faltered, but then he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Gu is truly arrogant."

"Arrogant? There's nothing about being arrogant or not. I don't have the time to keep bickering with you here. Let's see the truth through action; let me see if your strength is as sharp as your words."

Gu Chen's physique gleamed with a bright luster, and his aura climbed steadily, quickly reaching a highly significant level, causing even the renowned wanderers of the six major holy lands to take notice.

And as for Lu Xing of the Beidou Sect, Bu Nantian of Qinglong Valley, and others, their expressions immediately became extremely serious.

There wasn't a mediocre person present; everyone could tell just how powerful Gu Chen was by sensing the magnitude of his aura.

Seeing Gu Chen about to take action, Lin Bai's pupils constricted briefly, but on the surface, he still maintained a relaxed smile and said, "It seems Brother Gu prefers to resort to force when he's in the wrong, is that it?"

"You talk too much!"

With a whoosh, Gu Chen instantly charged forward. Although it was not possible to use cultivation abilities in this place, with his unparalleled physical strength, Gu Chen was confident that he could suppress everything.

Seeing Gu Chen rushing to attack, the smile on Lin Bai's face instantly vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

Boom!

The two of them collided without any fancy techniques, sending a dull thud through the void. Given the special conditions of the place, with strong gravity and an array covering it, they could not cause too much destructive power.

Lin Bai withstood Gu Chen's attack, chuckled, and said, "Brother Gu, in this nine provinces, you're not the only one to have cultivated an invincible body."

"Do you think invincible is the ultimate realm of physical strength?"

As Gu Chen said this, his other hand slowly clenched into a fist, and the air turned into visible white waves amidst the whistling winds, converging into Gu Chen's hand.

He clenched his fist as if he was grasping heaven and earth itself!

Thud!

The void vibrated, rippling waves outward, and Lin Bai's pupils shrank as he witnessed the scene.

However, his pride would not allow him to back down. Besides, Lin Bai did not believe that with his innate martial body and the invincible body he had cultivated, his physical strength would be lesser than Gu Chen's; that would be illogical!

Boom!

Lin Bai clenched his fist and struck, colliding with the punch thrown by Gu Chen. As their two fists collided, the air in the area instantly solidified for a moment.

The next moment, the solidified air burst open, dense shockwaves surged all around, emitting a sound like thunder.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The next moment, the two engaged in battle, and even though the formation here suppressed their destructive power to the lowest level, a wild wind still howled violently.

This wind was so strong that many onlookers felt a stinging pain on their cheeks and had no choice but to constantly retreat toward the distance, moving away from the center of the clash.

Only the representatives of the six sacred sites remained in place, closely observing the exchange between the two combatants.

For they knew that with the skills of Lin Bai and Gu Chen, they could be considered formidable opponents, representing one of the biggest obstacles for the chance at victory.

Just like the other heirs of the sacred sites.

The warriors of Tianxie Sect and Rakshasa Sect were utterly shocked to see that Gu Chen managed to fight Lin Bai to a standstill in such a short time.

Their young master's terror was well-known to his followers, as Lin Bai's learning could be said to be the authentic inheritance of the Six Union God Sect's master Dugu Yun, having delved into all the various martial arts and mental cultivation methods within the sect.

Before entering the Spiritual Stage, Lin Bai had already opened all 108 orifices in his body, reaching the limits of the Hundred Orifices Stage. Upon entering the Spiritual Stage, Lin Bai naturally encountered many opportunities, and the innate realm was but a stone's throw away, soon to break through the final barrier.

In the eyes of these followers from Tianxie Sect and Rakshasa Sect, their young master was undoubtedly the Chosen Son of Da Xia, with an overwhelming destiny and extraordinary strength, without parallel in his generation.

Added to Lin Bai's unmatched talent and the personal guidance of the Six Union God Sect's master Dugu Yun, they believed that not even the representatives of the six sacred sites could rival their young master Lin Bai. What capabilities did Gu Chen have to fight their young master to this extent?

Clang!

At that moment, a sound akin to swords clashing and cleaving resounded through the void. The sound was so piercing that many warriors turned pale, felt intense pain in their eardrums, and blood trickled from their ears.

"Brother Gu is indeed worthy of being the young master of the Six Union God Sect, truly extraordinary in strength," Lin Bai's voice came from afar.

"This was just a warm-up, try taking another punch from me!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai's expression tightened, and in the next instant, Gu Chen's fist seemed to swell infinitely in his eyes.

This punch, although Gu Chen used neither cultivation nor martial skills, still put immense pressure on Lin Bai with his unmatched physical body gained from walking the path toward physical sanctification.

Bang!

Caught off guard, Lin Bai crossed his arms in front of his chest and was sent flying by Gu Chen's punch.

"Young master!"

Seeing this, the warriors from Tianxie Sect and Rakshasa Sect became frantic.

"Hmph!"

Seeing himself being repelled by Gu Chen, Lin Bai finally showed some displeasure. He snorted lightly and charged back at an even greater speed.

At this moment, Lin Bai leaped high into the air, and from high above, he launched a powerful punch that weighed hugely down upon Gu Chen's face.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

Immediately after, the two resumed their fierce battle, lasting until the sixty-eighth exchange.

Boom!

The air exploded once again, and wave after wave of dense white crests turned into shockwaves like fearsome dragons, hitting all around. The terrifying boom drowned out everything, and everyone's ears rang so much that they could hear nothing and see nothing, their vision obscured by blank whiteness.

When their vision returned, Lin Bai along with Shen Han and others had vanished without a trace, with only Gu Chen remaining in the arena.

"Brother Gu is indeed worthy of being the young master of the Six Union God Sect, held in high esteem by the sect master, to be granted such martial skills. Lin Bai has learned his lesson. When we meet next time, I'll be ready to learn from your superior moves," Lin Bai's clear voice echoed from afar, but his figure had already completely disappeared.

Taking advantage of the situation, he had led Shen Han and his followers to escape.

"Quite the escape artist," Gu Chen said calmly, not taking to heart the words Lin Bai had just uttered.

For he knew that in this battle, Lin Bai had suffered a loss, which is why he retreated.

As for the slander thrown his way, Gu Chen paid it no mind at all; by the next confrontation, he didn't believe Lin Bai could still hide his identity when on the brink of death.

"He has some skill though."

Gu Chen did recognize Lin Bai's strength; having opened all 108 orifices truly was no common feat. In terms of physical strength, he was not inferior to Yuwen Wind from Vault of Sky Sword Sect, whom Gu Chen had fought before.

This proved that Lin Bai was truly a natural-born martial artist and had cultivated an indestructible Diamond Body; otherwise, he could not have matched Gu Chen to such an extent.

It was just a pity that physical prowess had always been Gu Chen's strong point, and this time Lin Bai had simply hit a steel wall.

At this time, the young man in black robes from Mount Tianzhu who had been silent and stern-faced all along suddenly looked at Gu Chen differently.

Because of the battle with Lin Bai, Gu Chen's clothes were slightly torn, revealing the treasured armor worn close to his body.

This armor was the Silkworm Armor that belonged to Chi Yan of Mount Tianzhu, one of the six sacred sites.

"How did Chi Yan's Silkworm Armor end up in your hands!"

With a swoosh, the black-robed man from Mount Tianzhu could no longer sit still. In an instant, he approached Gu Chen aggressively, reaching out to take the treasured armor from Gu Chen's body.
