Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1247: Chapter 647: Too Much Nonsense (Part 2)

"There are traces of a Thunder Element Technique, it’s Shen Hua’s ’Thunder Shocking Palm’."

The long-silent Zhang Zuo suddenly opened his eyes, a ghostly light flickering in his pupils.

"It’s not just Shen Hua and Wei Feng, there are two other presences."

His nostrils flared slightly.

"One is as cold as ice, the other as hot as fire."

A glint of insight flashed in Zhang Zhishang’s eyes.

"It’s Gu Sheng and that Ling Xiao!"

He rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"It seems Shen Hua and Wei Feng, those two fools, want to hog the secret!"

"Pursue them!"

Zhang Zuo said concisely, his figure already darting out.

The black longsword in his hand glinted coldly under the moonlight, wisps of black qi coiling around the blade.

The three of them tacitly refrained from notifying Gong Xuefeng and others nearby, each employing their movement technique to give chase.

...

In the depths of the dense forest, Gu Sheng suddenly halted.

"They’re here."

Ling Xiao’s expression turned grave.

"Three in the Heavenly Palace Realm, one of them is in the later stage. We are not their match."

Yet a strange smile curled at the corners of Gu Sheng’s mouth.

"Just as I hoped."

"Are you crazy?"

Ling Xiao lowered his voice.

"Zhang Zuo’s ’Black Evil Blade’ can even injure a Heavenly Palace Realm peak!"

Gu Sheng’s eyes were filled with excitement.

"You leave first, I have a clever plan."

Ling Xiao wanted to say more, but was stopped by Gu Sheng raising his hand.

"Trust me. You head east, I’ll go west, we’ll meet at the usual place in a quarter of an hour."

Seeing Gu Sheng’s confident expression, Ling Xiao gritted his teeth.

"Don’t die." With that, he flashed and disappeared into the dense forest to the east.

Watching Ling Xiao leave, battle intent surged in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

He deliberately stayed still for a moment, ensuring the pursuers could sense his presence before speeding off toward the direction with the densest Yin Qi to the west.

"There he is!" Zhang Zuo shouted harshly, his speed suddenly increasing.

"Boom!"

Zhang Zuo’s black blade light slashed down, the air was torn with a piercing screech.

Gu Sheng did not dodge, his right fist suddenly thrust forward!

"Courting death!"

Zhang Zuo sneered, as if he had already seen the bloody scene of Gu Sheng’s arm being severed.

The next moment, his smile froze.

Gu Sheng’s fist collided with the blade light, producing a sound of clashing metal!

Ancient runes appeared on the edge of his fist, forcibly smashing the black blade light!

"Impossible?!"

Zhang Zuo’s pupils shrank suddenly, his strike could split mountains, yet it was caught by a cultivator in the early stage of the Heavenly Palace Realm?

Before he could react, Gu Sheng’s fist had already penetrated the shattered blade light, landing heavily on his chest.

"Pfft—"

Zhang Zuo spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flung back over ten zhang, crashing through several stone pillars before barely coming to a halt.

Looking down at the fist imprint on his chest, his armor was already dented, and three ribs were broken.

"Your body... can’t be that strong!"

Zhang Zuo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, full of shock.

Gu Sheng shook his slightly tingling right fist, sneering.

"Zhang, your Black Evil Blade is nothing much."

Then he dashed into the complex terrain ahead.

The peculiar rocks were oddly shaped, their surfaces covered with the marks of time’s erosion, exuding an ancient, desolate aura.

What’s even stranger, the crevices between the rocks continuously seep thick Yin Qi, making the entire area resemble a Ghost Realm.

"Chase him! We can’t let him escape!"

Zhang Zuo roared, but secretly sent a voice transmission to Yu Wenbai and Zhang Zhishang.

"Be careful, there’s something strange about this guy!"

Yu Wenbai and Zhang Zhishang arrived just in time to see Zhang Zuo being repelled, their faces full of shock.

"Zhang, are you alright?"

Zhang Zhishang tightly gripped the folding fan in his hand, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Zhang Zuo’s face was as dark as water.

"I was careless. This guy’s body strength is comparable to the peak of the Heavenly Palace Realm, we must proceed cautiously."

"Body peak?"

Yu Wenbai gasped in surprise.

"He is clearly just in the early stage of the Heavenly Palace Realm!"

"Split up."

Zhang Zuo gritted his teeth and said.

"Junior Brother Yu, stay on the perimeter, prevent him from escaping. Junior Brother Zhang, follow me in and hunt him down!"

Yu Wenbai nodded in agreement, and the small bronze shield in his hand shone brightly, guarding the only exit of the bizarre stone area.

Zhang Zuo and Zhang Zhishang simultaneously charged into the cluster of strange stones.

The Yin Qi immediately entwined around them, causing their Spiritual Power to circulate sluggishly.

"Damn it, there’s something strange about this place!"

Zhang Zhishang frowned, waving his folding fan to dispel the surrounding Yin Qi.

"My Divine Sense is suppressed by seventy percent!"

Zhang Zuo didn’t answer; he stared intently at the ground and discovered a series of shallow footprints extending deeper.

"This way!"

The two followed the trail and quickly arrived at an open area.

In the center stood an ancient bronze bell, its surface covered with cracks and inscribed with ancient runes that no one could decipher.

"The Ancient Reincarnation Bell?"

Zhang Zhishang exclaimed.

"The Supreme Treasure that is said to communicate between Yin and Yang! How can it be here?"

Greed flashed in Zhang Zuo’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by vigilance.

"Be careful, that kid might be hiding nearby!"

The two stood back to back, warily surveying their surroundings.

The Yin Qi was so dense that even Zhang Zuo’s Divine Sense could only cover a radius of ten zhang.

At that moment, Gu Sheng, hiding in the shadow of a strange rock behind the bell, had already gathered terrifying power in his right fist.

The veins on his fist bulged, with faint golden light flowing beneath his skin, a sign that the Heaven-breaking Fist was ready to strike.

"Three... two... one..."

Gu Sheng counted silently in his heart, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Boom!"

Gu Sheng dashed out, his right fist aiming straight for Zhang Zuo’s back! The force of the punch tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistle!

"Watch out!"

Zhang Zhishang was the first to sense it, snapping open his folding fan, instantly forming a wall of wind.

But it was still half a step too late.

Gu Sheng’s fist penetrated the wind wall, despite being weakened by thirty percent, it still struck heavily on Zhang Zuo’s right shoulder!

"Crack!" The crisp sound of a bone cracking echoed.

"Ah!" Zhang Zuo let out a horrific scream, his body flying horizontally and crashing into a grotesque rock shaped like a swimming fish.

That bizarre rock was shattered on impact, demonstrating the terrifying power of this punch!

"Gu Sheng! I will grind your bones to dust!!"

Covered in blood, Zhang Zuo’s right arm hung limply, his left shoulder crushed by Gu Sheng’s punch, yet he still roared, his eyes burning with overwhelming hatred.

He suddenly stomped on the ground, using the fish-shaped stone wing protruding from the strange rock to flip and leap up, the Evil Qi on the Black Evil Blade surging crazily, transforming into a pitch-black Blade Aura, slicing straight at Gu Sheng’s head!

At the same time, Yu Wenbai also roared, the azure Longsword in his hand bursting with dazzling sword light, sealing all of Gu Sheng’s escape routes!

"Courting death!"

Gu Sheng snorted coldly, a simple bronze bell appeared in his palm—the Ancient Reincarnation Bell!

"Dang——"

The bell’s toll reverberated, and invisible sound waves swept out, instantly shattering Yu Wenbai’s sword aura, pushing him back dozens of zhang, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Gu Sheng charged directly at Zhang Zuo!

Just as Zhang Zuo was about to slash down with his blade, a terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from the strange rock behind him.

An invisible force pressed down violently!

Caught off guard, Zhang Zuo was crushed into spitting blood, his entire skeleton crackling, his aura plummeting!

"What’s happening?!"

He was terrified, but there was no time to react.

"Die!"

Gu Sheng seized the opportunity, tearing through the Void to appear instantly in front of Zhang Zuo, the golden light on his right fist surging explosively, the Heaven-breaking Fist unleashed with full force!

"No——"

Zhang Zuo’s pupils contracted sharply; he only had time to let out a despairing scream before the next moment—

"Bang!"

His head exploded, blood and brain matter splattering, and his headless body collapsed heavily to the ground!

This Heavenly Palace Realm Late Stage powerhouse—Zhang Zuo, perished!​​

Gu Sheng shook off the bloodstains on his fist, coldly turning his gaze to Yu Wenbai.

At this moment, Yu Wenbai was still immersed in the shock of Zhang Zuo being killed, and it wasn’t until Gu Sheng closed in that he suddenly awoke!

"You... you killed Senior Brother Zhang?!"

Yu Wenbai’s voice trembled.

"Now, it’s your turn."

Gu Sheng’s tone was icy as he came to kill directly!

Yu Wenbai’s strength was comparable to Wei Feng’s; if it were a one-on-one fight, he might have had a chance to maneuver.

But now his mind was in turmoil, and without Zhang Zuo’s support, he couldn’t withstand Gu Sheng’s onslaught at all!

"Green Gang Protection!"

Gritting his teeth, Yu Wenbai unleashed the small bronze shield, attempting to defend himself.

"Break!"

Gu Sheng punched out, the small bronze shield instantly cracked, and Yu Wenbai was blasted away, vomiting blood!

"No! You can’t kill me! I’m a Core Disciple of the Luotian Sect; if you kill me, the Sect won’t let you go!"

Yu Wenbai screamed in terror.

"Too much nonsense."

Gu Sheng sneered, appearing directly in front of Yu Wenbai, his fist punching through his chest!
