Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1242: Chapter 645: Forgetting One’s Situation

"Long Yi! There’s no enmity between us, why do you insist on putting me to death?" Gu Sheng shouted angrily.

In Long Yi’s hand, the Spirit Sword again gathered dazzling golden light.

"No enmity? You’re carrying the Supreme Immortal Sect’s bounty, your head is worth a hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stones! Not to mention those treasures..."

"Hand over that movement technique, and I’ll give you a quick death!"

"Nonsense!"

Gu Sheng suddenly turned around, both hands forming seals, the Ancient Reincarnation Bell suddenly enlarged, the ancient runes on the bronze bell body glowing with dazzling light.

"You can’t even tell if I’m Gu Sheng, yet you kill for a bounty?"

"It’s better to kill the wrong person than to let them go!"

Long Yi turned the sword’s edge, a golden Sword Qi tearing through the sky.

"In this Cultivation World, weakness is the original sin!"

At the moment the Sword Qi approached, Gu Sheng’s figure suddenly blurred, moving three meters sideways at the last possible moment.

The Sword Qi grazed his garment and passed by, slicing the stone pillar behind him cleanly in two, the cut smooth as a mirror.

"Crossing the Void?"

Long Yi’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"It really is a Holy Level Cultivation Technique! Today, you will surely die!"

Gu Sheng felt alarmed in his heart.

Even though Long Yi was wary of the dangers here and didn’t dare go all out, the power of his Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivation was extremely terrifying.

If he hadn’t cultivated the Taiqing Unity Skill to the Second Level nearing Perfect, that sword just now would have been enough to take his life.

"I must make it to Ling Xiao..."

Gu Sheng’s Spiritual Power surged wildly within him, his speed increasing by three-tenths more.

Long Yi snorted coldly, taking a blood-colored elixir pill from his bosom and swallowing it.

Instantly, his aura skyrocketed, his speed doubling!

"Blood Burning Pill?!"

Gu Sheng’s pupils shrank abruptly. This was a forbidden elixir that burned Essence Blood in exchange for a brief burst, Long Yi was determined to kill him!

The distance between them rapidly decreased. A hundred meters... fifty meters... twenty meters...

"Die!"

As Long Yi pointed his sword, an even more terrifying Sword Qi erupted, creating slight cracks in the void where it passed.

No escape!

Gu Sheng suddenly turned, the Ancient Reincarnation Bell expanded to three meters high, its mouth covering him entirely.

"Dang—!"

The deafening bell sound echoed through the basin, visible sound waves rippling outward, causing cracks to appear simultaneously on the surface of stone pillars within a hundred-meter radius.

The bell’s body trembled violently, its surface runes flickering uncertainly, but it blocked the deadly attack.

"It really is the Ancient Reincarnation Bell!"

Long Yi was not shocked but delighted.

"It seems you’re indeed Gu Sheng!"

Inside the bell, Gu Sheng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face pale.

Although the Treasure Bell blocked the Sword Qi, the impact from the Tribulation Crossing Realm still displaced his internal organs.

Enduring the intense pain, he urged the Treasure Bell to fly up again, continuing to flee deeper into the basin.

"Let’s see how long you can hold on!"

Long Yi gave chase relentlessly, his Spirit Sword swinging repeatedly, a torrent of Sword Qi raining down.

Though the Ancient Reincarnation Bell had incredible defense, each attack it withstood consumed a great deal of Gu Sheng’s Spiritual Power. In just a dozen breaths, his Spiritual Power was reduced by seventy percent, and his speed visibly slowed.

"No... if this continues, I’ll definitely die..."

Gu Sheng’s eyes showed determination, no longer solely defending, but directly facing Long Yi.

"Finally stopped running?"

Long Yi sneered, the sword’s edge pointing straight at Gu Sheng’s brow.

Gu Sheng didn’t answer, rapidly forming seals with both hands, the Ancient Reincarnation Bell suddenly shrinking back into his palm.

Just as Long Yi was puzzled, Gu Sheng suddenly hurled the Treasure Bell!

"Seeking death!"

"Dang—!"

Long Yi’s Spirit Sword struck heavily on the Ancient Reincarnation Bell, but the expected shattering of the bell and death of the person did not occur.

Instead, the surface of the bronze bell suddenly glowed with dazzling golden light, pathways containing the principles of heaven and earth intertwined in the void, forming a profound and mysterious pattern.

Long Yi’s pupils contracted, his sword-holding hand trembling slightly.

The profound meaning within those pathways caused his soul to tremble, as if directly facing the source of the Great Dao.

This moment of enlightenment was deeper than his own hundred years of cultivation!

"This... this is no ordinary item!"

Long Yi’s breathing quickened, his eyes filled with greed almost tangible.

"It can even rival the Sect Master’s ’Nine Heavens Ring’!"

He immediately changed his mind, no longer chasing the stumbling Gu Sheng, but casting sealing techniques onto the Ancient Bronze Bell.

"Seal the heavens and earth, suppress!"

The Void Ring emitted dazzling white light, a powerful suction enveloping the Ancient Reincarnation Bell.

The bell’s body trembled intensely, seeming unwilling to be subdued, but under Long Yi’s full suppression, it was transformed into a green light and absorbed into the ring.

"Hahaha! With this treasure, what worry is there about not achieving the Great Dao!"

Long Yi laughed up at the sky, then remembered Gu Sheng, turning to look, only to see the battered figure already a hundred meters away, stumbling towards the depths of the basin.

Long Yi sneered contemptuously.

"Struggling in vain."

He was about to pursue when suddenly he groaned, blood oozing from his mouth.

Forcibly subduing the Ancient Reincarnation Bell had consumed most of his Spiritual Power. Combined with the three-tenths previously absorbed by the Taotie Pillar, his Spiritual Power was now less than thirty percent.

"No matter, killing a severely wounded ant is more than enough."

Long Yi wiped away the blood, his figure flicking forward to give chase.

Gu Sheng felt as if his lungs were on fire, every breath tainted with the taste of blood.

His vision began to blur, relying solely on instinct to crawl towards the direction where he remembered Ling Xiao to be.

"Can’t fall... falling means it’s over..."

He bit through his tongue tip, using the sharp pain to remain conscious.

The sound of Long Yi’s footsteps grew closer, death’s breath shadowing him.

On the verge of losing consciousness, Gu Sheng finally saw that familiar figure.

Ling Xiao stood beside a stone pillar, having waited for some time.

"Ling Xiao"

Gu Sheng called hoarsely, then darkness engulfed his vision, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.
