Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Whoosh!

As soon as these words were uttered, the place erupted like a pot boiling over, and a multitude of martial artists gasped in shock—including those from the other four sacred lands.

As for the martial artists of Beidou Sect, Qinglong Valley, and others, they were stunned beyond belief. They had never imagined that Gu Chen would dare to kill even a disciple of a sacred land?!

Wasn't he afraid of the sacred land's retaliation?!

Gu Chen remained calm, without a trace of panic, simply uttering eight words.

"He who kills shall be killed in return."

Boom!

No sooner had he spoken than a roaming practitioner from Mount Tianzhu immediately made a move!

His body was robust, shimmering with black light, like a human-shaped weapon, lashing out toward Gu Chen.

Clang!

Gu Chen was fearless, extending his palm to block in front of his chest, with a cold gleam in his eyes, and said, "Do you really think I can be so easily bullied?"

Thump!

Exerting his full strength, Gu Chen seemed like an indomitable dragon, his vigorous vitality erupting outwards, increasing the pressure in the vicinity!

The two clashed head-on once, and this time, Gu Chen stood unmoved, while the practitioner from Mount Tianzhu's face changed slightly as he felt a piercing pain transmitting from his palm.

Disbelief!

It was only in face-to-face combat with Gu Chen that the man in the black robe truly realized just how formidable Gu Chen's physical body was.

No wonder Lin Bai had retreated earlier—there was every reason for it.

"Gu Chen, by killing a disciple of Vault of Sky Sword Sect, from today onwards, there will be no place for you across the entire nine provinces!"

At this moment, Yuwen Wind, bearing a long sword with an aggressive presence, let out a bellow and closed in on Gu Chen.

"Lost cause."

Facing the onslaught of Yuwen Wind, Gu Chen retorted as such.

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Wind's expression darkened, and together with the black-robed man from Mount Tianzhu, they both attacked Gu Chen at the same time.

Two great sacred land practitioners joining forces to deal with one man!

This scene instantly left everyone present speechless with shock, their eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.

"The defeat is not unjust."

Upon seeing this, Shang Ying, Xue Jingyun, and Xiang Yang all sighed inwardly. Gu Chen's growth rate was too fast. From the time they met at Mirror Lake Mountain until now, they were no longer a match for him; they couldn't even catch a glimpse of his shadow.

In the crowd from Burning Heaven Valley, Jin Yan watched Gu Chen with a shocked expression. He could hardly imagine that this was the same person who had fought him to a draw at the summit of Mirror Lake Mountain. How could he have attained such a level in such a short time, capable of fighting one against two, battling against two sacred land roaming practitioners alone?

Did that not mean it was very possible Gu Chen's strength had surpassed that of his senior brother Ouyang Yu?!

Jin Yan's worldview was on the verge of collapse at this moment.

Ouyang Yu of Burning Heaven Valley, a roaming practitioner, also wore a grave expression, equally shocked that there could be someone in the nine provinces capable of standing alone against two sacred land roaming practitioners—a feat beyond imagination!

The representatives from Sumeru Buddhist Sect, Cloud Heaven Palace, and the Daoist practitioner Xuan One from the Infinite Daoist Sect also watched the battle with stern expressions.

"Is Xuanyuan's insight truly so keen?" Xuan One wondered, while at the same time finding it laughable that he had previously thought Gu Chen was inferior to Lin Bai.

Little did he know, Xuanyuan was equally astonished at that moment, his mind a complete blank.

He knew that Gu Chen was a prodigy, but he had not expected him to reach such a level!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gu Chen, fighting one against two and relying solely on his physical body at this place, battled Yuwen Wind for fifty to sixty rounds without a clear winner emerging!

"Defying the heavens!"

At this moment, as other martial artists arrived and learned of the details, each one was left speechless, their eyes wide in astonishment.

Lu Chang and other commanders from Jing Tian Department of East Province were the same, feeling thrilled beyond their astonishment at Gu Chen's strength.

"Let's put an end to this."

Then, the young Daoist from Infinite Daoist Sect, Xuan One, let out a soft sigh and stepped into the battlefield, separating Gu Chen from Yuwen Wind and the man in the black robe.

"Xuan One, are you also joining the fight?" Yuwen Wind's face was cold, his entire being like an unsheathed divine sword.

The roaming practitioner from Mount Tianzhu also looked at Xuan One coldly, indicating like Yuwen Wind that he was not ready to back down.

"Xi Mu, Yuwen Wind, step back. Have you forgotten our true purpose?" Xuan One sighed softly, hoping the two would cease their attack.

"I won't stop until he's dead!" The man in black, also known as Xi Mu, spoke with extreme coldness, his murderous intent chilling and palpable.

In response, Gu Chen's gaze was icy as he uttered just four words.

"Come, I'll slay you!"

Instantly, Xi Mu and Yuwen Wind's eyes blazed with a fearsome killing intent, which caused the temperature to plummet dramatically, making the other martial artists feel as if they were in an ice cavern.

"Amitabha!"

A chant of the Buddha's name rang out as the Sumeru Buddhist Sect's successor, the young monk Xu Ya, approached with slow steps, palms pressed together, calmly saying, "My fellow practitioners, please desist."

The man from Cloud Heaven Palace, with a detached and transcendental aura as if on the verge of becoming an immortal, also appeared and said, "Xi Mu, Yuwen Wind, that's enough. Two against one is a bit too much, don't you think?"

Ouyang Yu, the only remaining practitioner from Burning Heaven Valley, frowned at this scene.

Xuanyuan added, "Competing for supremacy is not our aim; don't forget the elders' instructions from our sects."

Upon hearing these words, Xi Mu and Yuwen Wind fell silent for a moment and then, with cold voices, said to Gu Chen, "Don't think that just because your physical body is strong you can really match us. Once you leave this place, if I see you again, I'll kill you on sight!"

Among the six sacred lands, when it comes to physical body, Sumeru Buddhist Sect is unparalleled since the Buddhist doctrine emphasizes the indestructible golden body; among the six, thus Xu Ya's physique was the most extraordinary.

Physical strength was just one aspect of testing a martial artist's power. Many present did not think that since Gu Chen's body was strong, it evidenced that he could also crush Xi Mu and Yuwen Wind in other respects.

The most outstanding successors of the six sacred lands were not taken lightly; under the circumstances of cultivation suppression at this place, Xi Mu and Yuwen Wind could not display their true combat strength.

Hearing their words, Gu Chen remained composed, standing there with a profound presence, like an ancient mountain, and casually stated, "If you dare come, I'll send you on your way."

"Hmph!"

Thwarted by Xuan One and the others, Xi Mu and Yuwen Wind left without further ado, sleeves swept imperiously.

"Brother Gu, how are you?" Seeing Xi Mu and Yuwen Wind depart, Lu Chang and the others quickly approached. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire

"It's nothing." Gu Chen shook his head.

At this time, the roaming practitioner from Infinite Daoist Sect, the handsomely featured Xuan One in his Daoist robes, approached Gu Chen and said, "This place is unique and has suppressed the combat power of Yuwen Wind and Xi Mu. You must not underestimate the two of them because of this."

Gu Chen nodded, accepting the goodwill that Xuan One offered.

Subsequently, the people from the six sacred lands slowly left the area.

But Gu Chen was in no hurry. With the suppression of cultivation here and relying only on his physical body, combined with his achievement in the arts of 'Silent as the Passing Geese' and 'Leaving No Trace in the Snow', catching up to them would be effortless as long as he didn't waste too much time.

Afterwards, Gu Chen sat cross-legged in front of the huge stele, beginning to silently comprehend.
