Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"You little beast, I'll send you on your way first!"

The words of Gu Chen and the Da Xia Emperor made the people of the Jiuying Clan's eyes widen in fury, their rage boiling over, wishing to tear the two of them to shreds.

The middle-aged man leading the Jiuying Clan was even more incensed, unable to tolerate it and decided to make a move directly.

The Da Xia Emperor's gaze was sharp, his expression solemn, a dragon's roar faintly echoed beside him as he was about to step forward to face the strongest among the enemies.

But Gu Chen's movements were even quicker than his, stepping into battle first.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, the Da Xia Emperor's face showed a hint of surprise, Gu Chen's speed was too fast, he hadn't been able to react in time, it was truly a case of the latter overtaking the former.

"Seeking death!"

The middle-aged man from the Jiuying Clan saw that Gu Chen did not retreat but advanced instead, and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. His powerful magic flowed through the 318 heavenly veins he had forged within his body, that aura was quite astonishing, terrible fluctuations spreading, shocking the surrounding onlookers.

"Back off!" someone screamed in horror, panic on their face as they kept retreating with their companions.

The strength of the Jiuying Clan's middle-aged man was truly terrifying; there was no one nearby who could withstand it.

It could even be said that none would be his match, and just this aura alone would be enough to shake many creatures to death.

"Junior Sister!"

Not far away, Liao Yun of the Xuan Yi Sect changed color drastically, calling out to Ling Fei as they retreated towards the distance without a second thought.

Boom!

Like a huge wave crashing, the terrifying surge came, and the heavens and earth roared. A gale surged up, and the void seemed twisted, everything nearby was swept up, nearly destroyed.

This was an herbal garden, which had various fields nearby, growing stalk after stalk of spiritual herbs, colorful and flickering with strange lights, vigorous essence surging, very eye-catching.

Herbal gardens were especially important in any power structure, so naturally, a strong formation had been laid out here.

The moment Gu Chen and the Jiuying Clan's middle-aged man clashed, the formation here was activated, with brilliant lights shining from the ground, forming a light shield enveloping the various spiritual herbs in the garden.

"You little beast, go to hell!"

The middle-aged man in the Jiuying Clan bellowed, his eyes sinister, with a flicker of green light in his palm. He was confident that with this palm strike, no matter how talented or monstrous the youth, death was certain.

Gu Chen stepped forward, calm and composed, extending a palm with not a hint of magic power emanating; he simply and unadornedly struck out.

"Ignorant of death!"

Seeing this, the Jiuying Clan's crowd began to scorn Gu Chen, thinking he was overestimating his capabilities, courting death.

"Can Young Master Gu withstand this?!"

The onlookers stared intently from a distance, eager to know the outcome and victor of this battle.

Feeling the terrifying surge from the Jiuying Clan's middle-aged man's move, the others recognized his remarkable strength, which was incomparable to the young talents of their generation.

Moreover, what confounded them the most was that Gu Chen, facing such an opponent, remained so full of himself, not even using magic power, actually meeting the attack with just his bare hands?

Had it not been for concern about Gu Chen's identity, many would have wanted to cry out, is this not courting death?

"I think he doesn't want to live!" At this moment, in the crowd, several members of different races spoke with disdain.

"Isn't that too arrogant?"

Afar, Liao Yun from the Xuan Yi Sect was frowning as well, feeling that Gu Chen was being overly arrogant. How could he stand against such an opponent, someone whose age, cultivation level, and realm all far exceeded his own, with only his physique?

Ling Fei said nothing, just watching quietly; she knew that if Gu Chen acted this way, he surely had the confidence to do so, and wouldn't be recklessly courting death.

Beside Gu Chen, the Da Xia Emperor watched intently, ready to step forward at the first sign of danger for Gu Chen.

The middle-aged man in the Jiuying Clan sneered. Soon, their palms collided, issuing a loud 'bang', causing a wild gale to arise.

"Hmm?!"

The next moment, the Jiuying Clan's middle-aged man's face changed, feeling a mighty force coming at him from the opposite side, instantly destroying all his aggression. His bones crackled, unable to withstand that astonishing force.

"Pure physical strength, crushing my magic?!" The middle-aged man in the Jiuying Clan exclaimed in shock, his body violently thrown backward.

"What?!"

Seeing this scene, everyone was extremely shocked, especially those few from the Jiuying Clan who understood the middle-aged man's strength; they were the least able to accept what they saw.

"How is this possible?!" They couldn't believe it, eyes bulging as if they would pop out.

The Da Xia Emperor also gave Gu Chen a surprised look, noting the latter's still calm and composed appearance, exuding strong confidence.

"Indeed extraordinary," the Da Xia Emperor nodded to himself.

"This?!"

Liao Yun's mouth hung open, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if he was about to lose his mind.

Just like him, those few of different races who had previously mocked Gu Chen were likewise shocked.

Yet, what stunned them even more occurred as Gu Chen uttered a phrase that left everyone dumbstruck.

"Still not dead?" He looked in surprise at the middle-aged man flying backward, knowing that he had just used fifty percent of his strength.

Having unlocked the human body's treasure vault and gained a part of the bodily divine storehouses, Gu Chen broke through constraints, his physique ascended, and his body gained extraordinary benefits, his power soaring more than several times over.
