Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1752: Chapter 889: Completely Shattered

"Since there’s no refusal, then... prepare for your end."

Juque nodded slightly, as if merely declaring an established fact.

He slowly raised the seemingly ordinary three-foot green blade in his hand.

However, at the very moment before the blade was about to fall—

"Senior, please wait!"

A calm voice echoed.

Juque paused slightly, turning his gaze towards the speaker, Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng, enduring the intense pain in his body, cupped his hands towards Juque with an unyielding tone.

"This scoundrel has a deep blood feud with me, has harmed my family, and abducted my father. I earnestly plead with the senior to let me handle this scoundrel personally, to bring peace to the spirits of the deceased in my Gu family!"

Juque looked into Gu Sheng’s firm and resolute eyes, then at his body covered with cracked wounds yet still standing tall, a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and he slightly stepped aside, allowing half of his body, speaking faintly.

"Okay."

He did not completely step aside, clearly wary of any desperate counterattacks Xiao Beixuan might have.

But this was precisely the opportunity and attitude Gu Sheng needed.

Juque raised his hand, gently waved in the direction where Gu Sheng and Xiao Beixuan were.

The next moment, under the stunned gaze of everyone, the figures of Gu Sheng and Xiao Beixuan disappeared in thin air like a mirage!

"What happened?!"

"Where are they?!"

"Sword Master, this is..."

An elderly man from the direction of Great Wilderness City, clearly a high-level figure, inquired anxiously.

Juque gazed indifferently towards a certain point in the void, his voice echoing everywhere.

"No need to panic. I have taken these two into the ’World of Swords’. When one of them is dead, the other shall return. Should the one who returns be that criminal..."

His words paused slightly, as a fierce Sword Intent soared into the sky.

"I shall execute him myself as an act of divine justice."

Feeling that pure and terrifying Sword Intent, Vice Dean Zhou immediately fell silent, not daring to question any further.

...

About the time of a stick of incense later.

The void rippled once more, and a staggering figure tumbled out, it was Gu Sheng!

At this moment, he looked even paler than before, his breath significantly weakened, yet in his hand, he was holding a blood-dripping head with wide-open eyes filled with extreme terror and unwillingness—it was Xiao Beixuan!

Xiao Beixuan, separated head and body!

In Juque’s World of Swords, having lost all external support, his Dao Heart shattered by Gu Sheng’s prior display and the eradication of the True Demon, Xiao Beixuan was a frightened bird.

Placing his hopes on forbidden secret techniques and the Ancient True Demon, with these hopes now completely shattered, he could not even muster any proper resistance before being slain under the sword of Gu Sheng, who harbored immense hatred and unleashed his uttermost means!

Juque’s gaze fell upon Gu Sheng, scrutinizing him closely, especially the head in his hand, a flicker of surprise and inquiry passed through his eyes, he spoke slowly.

"Seventh Level of Sect Realm cultivation, yet has practiced an ancient top-tier Body Refining Technique, with unexpectedly solid foundations, and carries many secrets... To think such a prodigy emerged from this small East Desolation."

Gu Sheng put away Xiao Beixuan’s head, bowed slightly to Juque, his tone humble yet unyielding.

"Senior, you praise me too much. I merely chanced upon some encounters, still far inferior to your transcendent cultivation."

Juque was noncommittal, then turning the conversation, extended an invitation.

"Gu, would you like to join me on the Cloud Boat for a talk?"

Gu Sheng’s heart tightened slightly, knowing that what was meant to come, would come. Clearly, the other had suspicions regarding the previous appearance of Fate and the eradication of the True Demon.

He betrayed no emotion on his face, simply speaking calmly.

"Senior’s invitation, it is indeed my honor."

Juque seemingly noticed a hint of concern in his heart, yet didn’t mind, speaking faintly.

"Rest assured, just a few questions."

His gaze then shifted afar, to Gu Yuanyuan protected by Xia Wuyou, his eyes brightened once more.

"A Mixed Element Spirit Body? Quite rare indeed.

But sadly, not a sword cultivating genius, otherwise, truly an uncut gem. I won’t force anyone against their will."

Speaking thus, he lightly grasped towards Gu Yuanyuan from afar, a formless power swept across, seemingly severing some connection of aura, then he no longer paid attention.

"Now, any more concerns?"

Juque looked at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"No more."

"Good."

Juque spoke no further, formed a sword with his fingers, and lightly slashed at the void before him!

"Rip!"

An incredibly smooth spatial rift appeared instantly, beyond the rift was not chaotic void turbulence, but a Quiet Room furnished with utmost simplicity.

Juque stepped in first, Gu Sheng followed closely behind.

The two stepped into the Quiet Room, the spatial rift closed silently.

Inside the Quiet Room, simplicity reigned supreme, apart from a stone table, an Ancient Sword with a sheath hanging on the wall, and two ordinary meditation cushions, there was nothing else.

Juque sat down directly on one meditation cushion, his gaze like a sword piercing at Gu Sheng, asking forthrightly.

"Gu, was that ’Fate’, which appeared and eradicated the True Demon, invited by you?"

Gu Sheng was well-prepared internally, facing Juque’s seemingly penetrating gaze, his expression remained unruffled as he directly denied it, his tone carried just the right mix of puzzlement and certainty.

"Fate? Replying to Senior, I’d never heard of this name before today. I too am greatly shocked and have no knowledge of what transpired earlier."

Juque furrowed his brows slightly, clearly not completely convinced by this response.

He remained silent, then pointed with two fingers, shooting a sword-shaped radiance condensed to the extreme, resembling a tangible entity, not as an attack, but transforming into a pure and powerful Soul Power, encompassing Gu Sheng’s entire Sea of Consciousness like a transparent barrier!
