Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Even though this place was suppressed by an array, preventing extensive damage, the sword light unleashed by Yuwen Wind's strike still sent a chill down the spines of countless onlookers.

Whoosh!

Gu Chen's figure, which stood in its original place, vanished like a bubble, and Yuwen Wind's sword cut through empty air.

"Hm?"

Seeing this, Yuwen Wind himself was momentarily taken aback.

In the next moment, suddenly, a piercing pain emanated from his back. Yuwen Wind tried to turn around, but felt an overwhelming force strike him; it was heavier than ten thousand catties, blasting him away and sending him hurtling through the air.

"What is this?!"

The crowd saw Gu Chen send Yuwen Wind, who possessed a superior divine weapon, flying with a single move, and immediately, there was an uproar.

Ouyang Yu from Burning Heaven Valley and Xi Mu from Mount Tianzhu also narrowed their eyes. It must be known that Yuwen Wind had by then opened two of his body's Heavenly Earth portals, and his strength was no longer the same as before. It was on an entirely different level from when he had fought against Gu Chen previously. Unexpectedly, he had suffered a setback at the first exchange.

"Could it be that he also broke through the Heavenly Earth portals?"

At this moment, this question arose in everyone's minds.

"I will kill you!"

At this time, Yuwen Wind roared in anger. His body was surging with sword energy, and being struck down by Gu Chen in a single move under the watchful eyes of all, as a scion of a sacred land, his rage was boundless.

"Three moves to cut you down!"

Gu Chen's eyes were cold and resolute, and his physique was lean. He actually uttered these four words.

In the past, during Gu Chen's initial fight with Yuwen Wind, these had been Yuwen Wind's words to Gu Chen. Now, Gu Chen returned them to him without alteration.

Yuwen Wind was just about to scold Gu Chen for his arrogance, but in the next moment, he felt an incredibly stern killing intent enveloping him, so intense that even Yuwen Wind, who was used to walking the world as a member of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, couldn't help but feel a bone-chilling cold.

Xu Ya, Xuan One, and others also discerned Gu Chen's technique, feeling the corresponding aura. At that moment, even they couldn't help but be moved by it.

Boom!

Gu Chen's energy surged around him, his body gleaming with golden light. A splendid radiance flowed over the surface of his skin, and the vigorous blood qi escaping from his pores formed a crimson true dragon that coiled around him.

At this moment, Gu Chen was like a deity descending to earth, imposing an immense pressure onto everyone present.

The brunt of it was borne by Yuwen Wind, who was visibly shocked.

At this moment, Gu Chen held nothing back. He said he would take three moves, and he aimed to kill Yuwen Wind with the ferocity of thunder.

Boom!

Gu Chen expanded his body, employing the Mountain and Sea Fist Technique with the Great Sun Divine Gang circulating within him for a millennium and four hundred years. He clenched his fist, and a sound akin to a tsunami immediately erupted throughout the ancient hall, like a wave of shock and awe.

"An entry-level Earth Grade Fist Skill!"

Lu Qing from Cloud Heaven Palace let out an astonished cry immediately.

A terrifying and intimidating fist intent was contained within Gu Chen's hands. Yuwen Wind's pupils constricted rapidly, but before he could react, Gu Chen stepped with LingXu Nine Steps, as graceful as a fairy and swift as light, instantly appearing before him.

"Puff!"

A fierce and unparalleled punch smashed forward, like a mountain collapsing. Yuwen Wind mustered all his strength but still got struck by Gu Chen's fist, spewing out blood and once again being sent flying across the air.

Gu Chen wasn't about to give Yuwen Wind a chance to wield his superior divine weapon. Although the LingXu Nine Steps he displayed was still at the preliminary stage of insight, his silent passing and traceless steps were exceedingly fast, akin to teleportation, catching up with Yuwen Wind, who was hurtling away, in an instant.

"The second move!"

As Gu Chen's voice rang out, a world-shaking dragon's roar thundered through the air. A massive, lifelike celestial dragon appeared beside Gu Chen, and with his punch, they both surged forward in an attack.

Crack!

Gu Chen was too fast; Yuwen Wind had no time to react, let alone counterattack. He could only defend with all his might, but even so, he let out a wail as several of his bones were broken by Gu Chen's strikes.

"Inconceivable, absolutely inconceivable!"

"That's a warrior from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, renowned in the world, yet he's being beaten so easily by Da Xia's Marquis of Wu An, completely without the power to fight back?"

This could hardly be called a duel, it was merely a one-sided beating. Faced with Gu Chen, who had opened all his orifices and mastered a full eight Earth Grade Martial Skills, Yuwen Wind's breakthrough to the Heavenly Earth secret gate proved useless.

Unless he could instantly connect his mind with heaven and earth, draw in endless Heavenly Earth Essence Qi to transform his body from acquired back to innate, and at the same time evolve his true Gang into innate true qi, only then could he stand fearless before Gu Chen.

But clearly, he didn't have the time to achieve such a breakthrough.

Seeing Gu Chen with such strength, even Xu Ya, Xuan One, Lu Qing, Ouyang Yu, and Xi Mu—the scions from five of the six great holy lands—were utterly shocked and disbelieving, let alone everyone else.

The scene unfolding before their eyes seemed like an illusion, as if they were dreaming.

This was a complete crushing. Yuwen Wind had no power to fight back against Gu Chen. Gu Chen's slaughtering of a holy land's warrior was news that would shake all of Kyushu if it spread out!

As for the disciples of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, they were all like souls lost, mouths agape, staring dazedly at the spectacle unfolding before them.

Their senior brother Yuwen Wind, whom they took pride in and saw as unrivaled in their generation, was being beaten up by a native of Kyushu?

Moreover, this native even claimed he would slay their senior brother within three moves.

With this thought, their faces were filled with horror. Their senior brother Yuwen Wind, could he really be slain within three moves by this Marquis of Wu An from Da Xia?

"The third move!"

At that moment, Gu Chen's chilling voice echoed forth. His aura surged once again, and at this moment, he was like a rising Great Sun, utilizing the first step of the LingXu Nine Steps' profound principles, soaring into the air and aiming a foot at Yuwen Wind's head.

If this foot landed, Yuwen Wind's head would explode on the spot, dead beyond death, even as a warrior from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.

"Three moves, truly three moves to kill a warrior from a holy land!" Lu Xing, Bu Nantian, and others also issued exclamations at this moment.

Everyone was watching this scene intently.

"No!"

Seeing Gu Chen's foot gradually nearing, Yuwen Wind's eyes were filled with desperation. He tried to use his superior-grade divine weapon to strike at Gu Chen, but Gu Chen's previous two attacks had already disrupted his cultivation flow. His whole body felt as if it were about to split apart.

The shadow of death loomed, causing Yuwen Wind's complexion to turn pale and his body to tremble. He had never imagined that he, as the world-traversing warrior of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, who could command others, would one day find death so near.

And such a shameful death it would be—having his head crushed underfoot.

"Save me!"

At this moment, driven by a desperate desire for life and fear of death, Yuwen Wind completely abandoned his pride as the current warrior of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, and he cried out hoarsely for help from the other scions of the holy lands. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Gu Chen's foot was about to crush Yuwen Wind's pride and dominance.

"We can't let him kill Yuwen Wind!"

Xi Mu from Mount Tianzhu and Ouyang Yu from Burning Heaven Valley had a sharp gleam in their eyes as they both made their move at the same time, rushing towards Gu Chen to stop him from killing Yuwen Wind.
