Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 768: Chapter 408: Loving a Spectacle, the Bigger the Better

"But your sharp edge is too exposed, that’s not good."

Li Xiaoman slightly furrowed her brows.

Her tone seemed to be advising Gu Sheng.

But when heard, it gave off an air of disdain.

"What’s not good about it?"

Ji Ziyue stepped forward, her face full of contempt.

She crossed her arms over her chest and began circling Gu Sheng step by step.

"Gu Sheng represents Zhuo Peak. Those who provoke Zhuo Peak should naturally be taught a lesson. What? Are you trying to favor them instead?"

Ji Ziyue stopped in her tracks and asked in a questioning tone.

"That’s right, I am favoring them. But the one I’m favoring is Gu Sheng!"

Li Xiaoman seemed somewhat exasperated.

She clenched her delicate fists, as if intending to deliver a thrashing to Ji Ziyue.

Yet, upon hearing those words, Ji Ziyue couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Favoring Gu Sheng? Truly laughable."

Just as Ji Ziyue finished speaking, they suddenly noticed a group of white-robed cultivators approaching swiftly.

"Look! That Zhuo Peak scum!"

A booming shout rang out.

Gu Sheng turned his head, only to see over a dozen cultivators flying toward him from the clouds.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

The cultivators landed beside Li Xiaoman, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Are you Gu Sheng?"

One of the cultivators, with a stern and cold expression, stepped forward and fixed his icy gaze on Gu Sheng.

Their voice carried a suppressed rage that was unmistakable.

"Yes, I am."

Gu Sheng didn’t evade but nodded directly.

"Was it you who wounded our Senior Brother Ling Mu?"

The cultivator asked again.

"Tch!"

A trace of disdain flickered in Gu Sheng’s eyes. He nodded once more, admitting without hesitation, "Indeed, Ling Mu was injured by me, but..."

"But what?"

The other cultivator pressed further.

"But Ling Mu’s skills are just mediocre at best. Why? Are you seeking revenge?"

Hearing this, a dark expression clouded the cultivator’s face as he immediately assumed a fighting posture.

Suddenly, the aura emitting from the cultivator surged explosively, causing the surrounding air to seemingly freeze.

Then, he slowly unsheathed his longsword. Its gleaming light was fluid like water, radiating an icy chill.

Seeing this, Ji Ziyue began feeling uneasy.

"Are you planning on ganging up?"

Ji Ziyue stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Gu Sheng, her eyes filled with defiance.

"Little lady, this is a matter between us and Gu Sheng. If you interfere, you’ll make yourself an enemy of all Ling Peak."

The cultivator warned.

"Ling Peak? Hmph! I was once at Ling Peak too. Why haven’t I seen you before?"

Ji Ziyue crossed her arms once more, her face brimming with disdain.

"You?"

The cultivator frowned slightly, carefully scrutinizing Ji Ziyue once again.

"Brother, I think this is the female cultivator Elder invited earlier—name’s Ji Ziyue," another cultivator whispered in his ear.

"Ji Ziyue?"

The lead cultivator snorted coldly. "Get lost, get lost—something about moons and lights, I don’t care. Today, I’ll avenge Senior Brother Ling Mu."

With that, he grit his teeth and prepared to attack.

"Is this a one-on-one duel?"

Ji Ziyue sneered lightly.

She then took a step back, clearly not interested in entangling herself with the group.

"Exactly."

The cultivator nodded.

"Alright, well, good luck then. Just don’t go crying back to your mother if you lose."

Ji Ziyue said, flashing to the side.

"Scram!"

The cultivator ignored Ji Ziyue and focused all his attention on Gu Sheng.

"Shing!"

He swung his longsword, releasing a stream of Sword Qi that darted like a dragon toward Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng’s face remained completely calm, as he casually flicked his fingers.

"Whizz!"

A formless force struck the cultivator’s longsword instantly.

"Crack!"

"Clang!"

The sword broke upon impact, its blade tip falling to the ground with a crisp ringing sound.

"What... this..."

This sight stunned everyone present.

That cultivator was an expert in the Life Spring Realm, and his longsword had been specially forged to be razor-sharp.

Yet now, it had been broken—just by a mere flick of Gu Sheng’s finger!

"Attack together!"

The cultivator roared in anger.

Gu Sheng’s casual display earlier had already made it clear that individually, none of them was his match. Thus, he called upon his companions to join forces.

Yet Gu Sheng’s strength far exceeded their expectations.

With a movement technique as swift as a phantom, Gu Sheng wove effortlessly among them.

In mere moments, all the cultivators were laying defeated on the ground.

"Ouch... ouch..."

They were clutching their chests or cradling their knees, looking utterly miserable—having been thoroughly subdued by Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, your... your strength..."

Li Xiaoman, standing to the side, was filled with disbelief.

"What about it?"

Ji Ziyue stepped forward, a smug smile spread across her face.

"Dealing with Ling Peak’s trash? Even I could do it."

Ji Ziyue declared, her face full of pride.

"Who dares call Ling Peak disciples trash!"

Suddenly, a cold reprimand echoed out from the void.

"Senior Brother Yang, you’ve arrived!"

The injured Ling Peak disciples hurriedly stepped forward, addressing him with respect.

Li Xiaoman’s heart tightened at the sight.

She knew that this Senior Brother Yang held significant status within Ling Peak.

"Gu Sheng, this is Ling Peak’s Senior Brother Yang. His strength is formidable. You’re no match for him—better leave quickly."

Li Xiaoman spoke worriedly.

But Gu Sheng remained unmoved.

He glanced faintly at Li Xiaoman before turning away.

It was clear that Gu Sheng didn’t regard Senior Brother Yang as a threat.

Senior Brother Yang stepped forward, his gaze filled with arrogance.

"I hail from Ling Peak as well, and I’m a Divine Bridge Realm cultivator at its pinnacle. You injured my junior brother. Kneel and apologize, and I will spare you."
