Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1538: Chapter 792: Nothing More Than This

Gu Sheng’s eyes showed admiration, as the Qi Sword transformed into a streak of light in his hand, perfectly intercepting Gu Ningshuang’s attacks with each block.

He didn’t retaliate but deliberately guided her sword path, as if engaged in a silent communication.

Qin Yurou watched in awe.

As an observer, she clearly saw that every movement Gu Sheng made seemed to foresight Gu Ningshuang’s sword moves. The direction the Qi Sword pointed to was invariably the weak points in Gu Ningshuang’s sword momentum.

This is not a contest, but... guidance?

"Ningshuang, he’s feeding you the sword moves!"

Qin Yurou couldn’t help but shout.

Gu Ningshuang paused upon hearing this, her sword momentum slightly halting.

She looked at Gu Sheng, who winked at her, the corners of his mouth curling into a familiar mischievous smile.

"Senior Sister, focus."

Gu Sheng gently reminded, accelerating the Qi Sword, lightly touching her wrist.

A tingling sensation spread from the wrist, yet Gu Ningshuang felt something stir in her mind.

She no longer thought twice, concentrating entirely on the sword moves.

Gradually, she felt herself entering a unique state, with the Snow-cutting Sword seemingly an extension of her arm, each sword strike becoming smoother and more natural.

Gu Sheng noticed her transformation, his eyes filled with gratification.

He deliberately slowed down the pace, the trajectory of the Qi Sword becoming clearer, like an invisible sword map drawn in the air.

"Sword Intent..."

Gu Ningshuang muttered to herself, her eyes growing increasingly bright.

"So that’s it..."

Qin Yurou held her breath, watching the two figures in the arena speed up, the sword lights weaving into a tight, impenetrable net.

Though she didn’t understand Sword Dao, she could also tell that Gu Ningshuang was on the verge of some breakthrough.

Time of a burning incense passed, Gu Ningshuang suddenly halted her steps, the Snow-cutting Sword suspended mid-air, its tip trembling slightly.

Her gaze became extremely focused, and the aura around her began to fluctuate violently.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng immediately withdrew his sword and retreated, giving Senior Sister ample space.

"She’s going to break through!"

Qin Yurou exclaimed.

Only to see Gu Ningshuang slowly closing her eyes, the Snow-cutting Sword in her hand emitting a clear and resonant sword hum.

A fierce Sword Intent erupted from her body, with the surrounding fallen leaves moving autonomously without wind, shredded into pieces by the invisible Sword Qi.

When she opened her eyes again, her pupils seemed to harbor sword light.

She exhaled softly, sheathed the sword, showing an expression of disbelief.

"Fourth Grade Sword Intent..."

She murmured softly, lifting her head to look at Gu Sheng.

"I actually broke through..."

Gu Sheng smiled and cupped his hands.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister."

Gu Ningshuang, however, suddenly stepped forward, grabbing his collar.

"What realm are you in, really?"

Her voice carried shock and unwillingness.

"To guide me so easily towards a breakthrough in Sword Intent, you must be at least..."

Gu Sheng smiled without speaking, just lightly holding her wrist.

"Senior Sister only needs to know that I will always protect you, that’s enough."

Gu Ningshuang released her grip, shaking her head helplessly.

"Take down Gu Sheng!"

That chilling voice resounded like thunder, as Gu Sheng looked up to see several figures descending from the sky, their powerful impact shattering the martial arts platform into fragments.

Amidst the flying debris, five men clad in black have already surrounded them tightly.

Gu Ningshuang’s face showed displeasure, she instinctively took a step forward, blocking in front of Gu Sheng.

"People from the Law Enforcement Hall? What is the meaning of this?"

The leading man’s expression was stern, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

"By order of Senior Jiang, arrest the intruder in the Holy Academy. Irrelevant people, step back quickly!"

Qin Yurou’s face changed slightly, hurriedly whispering.

"Gu Sheng, hurry up and leave! The people of the Law Enforcement Hall act arrogantly. If they believe you’re suspicious, they won’t give you a chance to explain."

Gu Sheng’s gaze locked on the figure standing in mid-air beyond the crowd.

That person wearing white bore a resemblance to Jiang Feiyu, but his aura was numerous times more powerful.

"Jiang Feihong..."

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes, his right hand quietly resting on the hilt of the Southern Emperor Sword.

"Gu Sheng is not an outsider!"

Qin Yurou urgently defended.

"He is a guest I brought in, already permitted by the Outer Court!"

The leader of the Law Enforcement Hall sneered.

"Junior Sister Qin, you, as a disciple of the Holy Academy, are harboring outsiders. This matter I will report to the Elder Council. As for this person..."

He pointed at Gu Sheng.

"Since he’s not a disciple of the Holy Academy, he’s even more suspicious. Who knows what he intends by infiltrating the Holy Academy?"

"To add guilt without evidence, isn’t it easy?"

Gu Sheng sighed softly, apologetically turning to Gu Ningshuang.

"Sorry to involve you."

Gu Ningshuang shook her head, her eyes showing complex emotions.

"It’s not your fault, it’s they who are unreasonable."

"Enough talk!"

The leader shouted sternly, five disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall simultaneously released a powerful oppressive aura.

The cultivation of Fifth Level of Heavenly Martial Realm exploded without reservation, seeming to solidify the surrounding air.

Qin Yurou was forced by this pressure to retreat several steps, her face pale.

Gu Ningshuang frowned slightly, but the next moment, a warm True Qi surged from Gu Sheng’s body, shielding them both within.

"Must we fight?"

Gu Sheng calmly asked, his gaze gradually turning cold.

The leader gave a sinister smile.

"Now you’re scared? Too late! Surrender obediently, and you might suffer less pain!"

"Scared?"

Gu Sheng’s mouth curved into a mocking arc.

"I just don’t want to hurt the innocent."

Before the words fell, a momentum from Gu Sheng’s body erupted, several times more formidable than the combined aura of the Law Enforcement Hall crowd.

That momentum was deep like an abyss and vast like the sea, scattering the pressure of the five people in an instant, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.

"This... how is this possible?"
