Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1552: Chapter 799: Peril Upon Peril

The sound of hushed whispers incessantly reached Gu Sheng’s ears.

"This Gu Sheng truly doesn’t know the heights of the heavens or the depths of the earth..."

"Senior Brother Xiao has never been defeated; he’s doomed..."

"What a pity, I’ve heard he has quite a talent for Alchemy..."

Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear to these discussions, merely patting Shen Qingtan’s shoulder gently.

"One month later, everything will be clear."

He paused.

"After I deal with the matters at hand, I’ll help you resolve Shen Qingyun."

Shen Qingtan gazed at him in a daze, unable to understand why he could be so calm.

Deep in those eyes, it was as if golden flames were quietly burning, making it hard to see their depth.

"You..."

She wanted to say something more, but Gu Sheng had already turned around and walked away, his figure standing tall like a pine tree as he went farther amidst the complex stares of the crowd.

After leaving the Martial Arts Arena, Gu Sheng headed straight out of Great Wilderness City.

The guards at the city gate saw the Token from Linyin Pavilion hanging from his waist, and saluted respectfully, though a trace of regret hid in their eyes... Another young man recklessly challenging Xiao Beixuan.

Outside the city, the wind swept across the desolate plains.

Gu Sheng continued walking without pause, his mind devising the plan ahead.

"If only I can achieve the Glazed Golden Body, then connect another meridian..."

He mused to himself, suddenly furrowing his brow.

"Followed me all this way, aren’t you tired?"

Gu Sheng stopped, his voice chilly.

The surroundings were silent, with only the sound of the wind whistling.

"Since we’re outside the city, there’s no restriction on Sky-controlling."

Gu Sheng pressed his right hand against his waist.

"If you don’t show yourself, you’ll lose your chance."

Still, no one responded.

Gu Sheng let out a cold snort, about to rise into the air, when suddenly...

The sound of applause echoed from behind.

"No wonder you’re someone who caught Senior Brother Xiao’s attention, your alertness is quite good."

An insidious voice sounded.

Fifteen silhouettes emerged from all directions, surrounding Gu Sheng completely.

The leader wore a green robe, with a sinister face, playing with a Jade Talisman in his hand.

Gu Sheng looked around, discovering that the fifteen were all Sect Realm experts! Such a lineup was sufficient to siege a newly ascended King Realm expert.

"Xiao Beixuan sent you?"

Gu Sheng squinted his eyes, True Qi quietly circulating within him.

The Man in Green Robe chuckled lightly.

"Why bother asking when you’re about to die?"

Before the words were finished, fourteen Sect Realm experts attacked simultaneously! Various True Qi rushed forth like torrents, compressing the air to the point of exploding.

"Boom!"

A golden light burst from Gu Sheng’s back, and the phantom of the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron suddenly appeared.

Nine golden dragons coiled around the cauldron, letting out a thunderous dragon cry.

A golden long rainbow shot skyward from the cauldron, enveloping Gu Sheng within.

"What?!"

The Man in Green Robe’s face changed dramatically.

"This is..."

Golden Divine Flame blazed on Gu Sheng’s body, his aura soaring upwards, momentarily halting the assault from the fourteen Sect Realm experts.

"Is that all you’ve got?"

Gu Sheng sneered, the golden radiance in his eyes gleaming intensely.

The Man in Green Robe grit his teeth and hurled a black bead sharply.

"Go to hell!"

The black bead cut through the sky, leaving tiny spatial cracks where it passed.

At the same time, the fourteen attacks reached Gu Sheng, woven together into nets of True Qi, sealing all paths of retreat.

Gu Sheng neither dodged nor avoided, his right hand forming into a claw as golden flame solidified.

"Nine Dragon Devouring Heaven!"

"Roar..."

Nine golden dragons emerged from the cauldron to meet the fourteen attacks head-on.

Meanwhile, he transformed into a golden lightning bolt, charging directly at the Man in Green Robe!

"Beichen Immortal Slaying Sword... Cut!"

Gu Sheng coldly shouted, and over a hundred golden Qi Swords rained down like meteoric fire.

Although the Sect Realm experts reacted swiftly, their escape was still a beat late against this overwhelming sword momentum.

"No..."

A gray-robed elder saw three Qi Swords aiming straight for his lifeline, gritting his teeth and letting out an explosive shout. Thick True Qi formed a green shield in his palms, set before him.

"Boom!"

Gold and green lights clashed violently, erupting in deafening roar.

The ground cracked, stones flying, smoke and dust swirling within tens of feet.

When the dust slightly cleared, everyone’s pupils suddenly contracted... The gray-robed elder’s chest had three bowl-sized bloody holes, golden flames rapidly spread from the wounds, incinerating a Sect Realm expert’s body into ashes in the blink of an eye, leaving not even bone fragments.

"How... how can this be?"

The Man in Green Robe’s face turned ashen, his long sword trembling lightly.

"Even Elder Li’s ’Green Yuan Shield’ couldn’t withstand a strike?"

Gu Sheng’s lips curled into a cold smile, flicking his fingers, the remaining Qi Swords adjusted their direction as if alive, continuing to chase the scattered fleeing crowd.

The golden flames traced a dazzling trajectory in the air, distorting and warping the air wherever they passed.

"Gu Sheng! Do not push us too far!"

The Man in Green Robe suddenly drew a pitch-black bead as dark as ink from his bosom, a fierce glint in his gaze.

"You’ve forced my hand!"

He hurled the black bead at Gu Sheng with a vigorous shout.

"Everyone, retreat!"

Gu Sheng seemed leisurely, but in truth, his spiritual power had long locked onto the approaching black bead.

Just as the golden Qi Swords were about to touch the bead...

"Bang!"

Without warning, the black bead exploded, dense black fog rapidly spreading, coalescing into a hunched silhouette in the air.

It was an old man draped in a black cloak, with a face as withered as a mummy, sunken eye sockets flickering with ghostly green flames.

"Hmm?"

Gu Sheng furrowed his brows, his movement suddenly stalling.

An unprecedented oppressive feeling descended from the sky, as if the air within a hundred-foot radius solidified into substance.

Gu Sheng felt overwhelmed, as if an invisible shackle imprisoned him, rendering even his fingers difficult to move.

"Venerable Realm..."

Gu Sheng’s eyes carried a heavy expression.

The withered elder slowly raised his head, his ghostly green gaze locking onto Gu Sheng like a poisonous snake.

In that instant, Gu Sheng felt a piercing chill run up his spine to his crown, causing every pore in his body to contract reflexively.
