Chapter 1478: Chapter 762: Finally Arrived
Using the God Concealing Pendant as cover, he silently blended into the crowd.
“Senior Brother, do you think the ancestor can take down this Demon Vine?”
A young disciple asked in a low voice.
The cultivator next to him was about to answer when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
He widened his eyes, finding his vision spinning… the last thing he saw was his headless body slowly falling.
“Enemy attack!”
Someone screamed out, but it was already too late.
Gu Sheng moved through the crowd like a specter, and every flash of his Qi Sword brought up a spray of blood.
His movements were unbelievably fast, leaving those Heavenly Martial Second Realm disciples with no time to react.
“What’s going on?!”
Mo Tianyou sensed the commotion behind him, turning back with rage in his eyes.
All he saw were his subordinates falling one after another, unable to even see the shadow of the enemy.
“Eighteen Cave Heavens, open!”
A thunderous roar exploded as Gu Sheng’s figure burst from the crowd.
The eighteen Grotto Heavens within him operated simultaneously, with boundless spiritual power rushing out like a breached dam, forming eighteen dazzling light wheels around him.
“Beichen Immortal Slaying Sword!”
Before the words even finished, dozens of Qi Swords, burning with golden Divine Flame, coalesced out of thin air, each exuding an overwhelming killing intent.
The Heavenly Ghost Sect disciples had no time to react before these Qi Swords rained down like a storm.
“Ah…”
Screams echoed one after another.
A mid-Heavenly Martial Realm elite disciple from the Heavenly Ghost Sect hastily activated his Protective Gang Qi, yet was easily pierced by a Divine Flame Qi Sword.
The golden flames instantly consumed his body, burning him to ash in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a trace.
“Enemy attack! Form the array!”
An elder shouted sternly, but it was too late.
Gu Sheng’s eyes flickered with cold light, his fingers flicking casually, and three more Qi Swords whistled out, shooting towards the elder in a triangular formation.
The elder’s expression changed drastically, hurriedly summoning an Ancient Bronze Shield with flashing runes on its surface, clearly a formidable defensive magical treasure.
“Screech…”
The Divine Flame Qi Sword collided with the Ancient Shield, producing a piercing tearing sound.
The shield, capable of withstanding an attack from a peak Heavenly Martial Realm, was pierced as if it were made of paper.
The elder’s eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the three bowl-sized blood holes in his chest as golden flames burst from the wounds, consuming him completely in an instant.
“You little bastard! You court death!”
A furious roar came from the back of the crowd, as the ancestor of the Heavenly Ghost Sect glared at Gu Sheng, his hair and beard bristling, his eyes bloodshot.
He had been discussing Secret Realm exploration with a few core disciples, only to find his elite followers mostly dead in the blink of an eye.
Gu Sheng chuckled coldly, casually waving his hand, as the remaining Qi Swords acted with precision, continuing to reap the lives of the Heavenly Ghost Sect disciples.
Every sword strike claimed a life, the scene bloody yet efficient.
“Who are you, and why do you harm my Heavenly Ghost Sect so maliciously?”
The ancestor asked through gritted teeth, a black long knife already drawn, its blade wrapped in strange black mist.
Gu Sheng’s figure flickered, landing on a giant rock ten meters away, looking down at the ancestor.
“The dead need not know too much. Eliminating the roots, that’s my policy.”
“Arrogant!”
The ancestor laughed in extreme anger.
“A mere Earth Martial Realm dares to act recklessly in front of me! Today, I’ll extract and refine your soul to honor my disciples’ spirits in heaven!”
Before the voice finished, the ancestor’s figure darted forward like a specter, the Black Blade swinging down with a chilling whistle.
This seemingly simple attack actually contained the ancestor’s lifetime of cultivation. Even before the blade reached, the intense Sword Qi carved a deep groove in the ground.
Yet Gu Sheng neither dodged nor evaded, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
“Whoosh…”
Several dark green vines suddenly burst from the ground behind the ancestor, shooting into his back like lightning.
The barbs on the vines emitted a ghostly blue light, clearly poisonous.
“What?!”
The ancestor’s movements halted, disbelief spreading across his face.
He felt paralysis rapidly spreading through his body, even his spiritual power circulating with difficulty.
This was the moment Gu Sheng had been waiting for.
He leaped up, his right hand forming a sword with his fingers, a more solid Divine Flame Qi Sword forming at his fingertips.
“Die!”
A single word, simple yet like the decree of death itself.
The Qi Sword traced a perfect arc, the ancestor’s head flying high, his face frozen in shock and unwillingness.
“To be distracted in battle is a death not worth pitying.”
Gu Sheng coldly watched the ancestor’s headless body collapse with a thud, showing no trace of mercy.
With a thought, the Heavenly Demon Vine tattoo on his left arm came alive, transforming into dozens of vines that pounced on the ancestor’s corpse.
“Devour him.”
Gu Sheng commanded.
The vines eagerly coiled around the ancestor’s body, their barbs piercing deeply into the flesh, beginning to frantically devour his life force.
In the span of a few breaths, the ancestor’s body shriveled into a skeletal husk, reduced to skin and bones.
“It’s a pity the Beichen Immortal Slaying Sword’s power is too great, leaving no intact corpse behind.”
Gu Sheng shook his head, then adopted a contemplative expression.
“But the Heavenly Demon Vine needs large amounts of life force to advance, I’ll need to control the force next time.”
He walked to the ancestor’s body, removing the Storage Ring from his finger, then turned to loot the belongings of a long-dead female disciple of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
As he probed the Storage Rings with his Divine Sense, even Gu Sheng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
“Tens of thousands of High-grade Spirit Stones, and a Sect Realm Divine Weapon… this ancestor was indeed wealthy.”
Gu Sheng tallied up his spoils.
