Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 782: Chapter 415: Bullying the Weak, What Kind of Example Is This?

"Brother Ji, the True Qi in your body seems somewhat unstable. Why don’t we find a place for you to regulate your breathing?"

Hua Yunfei suggested.

"Hmm."

Ji Haoyue nodded, then sat down on the spot to begin adjusting his breathing.

Nearby, Ji Ziyue was observing her brother while also noticing something unusual with Gu Sheng.

She approached Gu Sheng with a hint of worry and asked, "Gu Sheng, are you okay?"

"I... I’m fine."

Gu Sheng nodded.

He knew the situation wasn’t looking good. If he didn’t calm the True Qi inside his body soon, things could spiral out of control.

"Fine? It looks to me like something’s wrong with you too. Quickly, find a place to regulate your breathing."

Ji Ziyue said as she pulled Gu Sheng to sit down nearby.

Gu Sheng crossed his legs and sat down, circulating the True Qi within his body in an attempt to calm the turbulence in the Golden Sea of Suffering.

After a period of regulation, the True Qi within Gu Sheng’s body gradually settled, and the Golden Sea of Suffering also returned to tranquility.

He opened his eyes and let out a deep breath.

"Phew... Much better."

Gu Sheng immediately felt the power within his body had come under control.

As his words fell, Ji Haoyue also finished regulating his breathing, gaining control over the power of "Moon Rising Over the Sea."

Ji Haoyue stood up and stretched his muscles.

"Gu Sheng, how are you? Feeling better now?"

Ji Ziyue stepped forward, asking with concern.

Her expression and actions were almost like those of lovers.

"Ahem..."

Ji Haoyue let out a couple of dry coughs, signaling Ji Ziyue to be more restrained.

After all, as a lady of the Ji family, her reputation was something to uphold.

But Ji Ziyue ignored him and continued checking on Gu Sheng.

Ji Haoyue’s gaze swept across Gu Sheng.

Suddenly, a flicker of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

He remembered this person—this was the man who had been escorted away by the Demon Clan during his clash with Yan Ruyu.

Ji Haoyue’s eyes instantly sharpened.

"Gu Sheng, what is your relationship with the Demon Clan?"

Ji Haoyue asked coldly.

Gu Sheng’s face showed no panic; he had anticipated that the perceptive Ji Haoyue would discover sooner or later.

"What relationship I have is none of your business. Instead, I want to ask you—how is Yan Ruyu now?"

Gu Sheng shot back equally coldly.

Ji Haoyue’s expression darkened in an instant.

He hadn’t expected Gu Sheng to retaliate with such a question—without a doubt, this was a provocation to his limits.

"You’re courting death!"

Fury surged in Ji Haoyue’s heart as he shouted at Gu Sheng.

Following his shout, the Divine Power within Ji Haoyue roared to life.

In an instant, the power of "Moon Rising Over the Sea" formed a massive energy vortex around him.

Clearly, he was preparing to attack Gu Sheng.

"Brother..."

Ji Ziyue once again stepped in front of Gu Sheng, her face filled with anxiety as she said, "Do you two have to do this, huh?"

"Little sister, this is not something you can meddle in. Step aside."

Ji Haoyue said coldly.

Those nearby were instantly alarmed by the sight.

It was well-known that although Gu Sheng’s strength was not insignificant, he was ultimately just a newly initiated disciple.

Ji Haoyue, on the other hand, was the Sacred Body of the Ji family, his power far surpassing that of Gu Sheng.

Even Hua Yunfei and the Ji family’s Holy Daughter standing nearby were slightly inferior by comparison.

Thus, in the eyes of the onlookers, Ji Haoyue’s actions were indisputably an oppressive abuse of power.

Ji Ziyue’s face grew tense as well; she hadn’t expected matters to escalate to this point.

She hurried forward, trying to stop her brother: "Haoyue Brother, don’t act impulsively. Let’s clarify the situation first."

However, Ji Haoyue’s fury was already irrepressible.

"Ziyue, this is between me and him. You should stay out of it."

Ji Haoyue shot Ji Ziyue a cold glance, clearly unfazed by her intervention.

"Swish!"

With a swift motion, Ji Haoyue pushed her aside. Ji Ziyue stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.

"Clang!"

Ji Haoyue unleashed the power of "Moon Rising Over the Sea," directly aiming at Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, watch out!"

Ji Ziyue and Li Xiaoman cried out almost simultaneously.

As for Hua Yunfei and the other cultivators nearby, they were frozen in place, unsure of how to react.

After all, helping Gu Sheng would mean aligning with the Demon Clan.

Meanwhile, assisting Ji Haoyue would mean disregarding the Supreme Mysterious Sect’s reputation.

So standing still seemed to be the better option.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the power of Ji Haoyue’s "Moon Rising Over the Sea" transformed into a dazzling blade.

Though the blade wasn’t tangible, it carried an audible tearing sound as it sliced through the air.

Just like that, it streaked straight toward Gu Sheng.

Everyone’s hearts tightened at the sight.

Someone felt an urge to intervene but paused as they witnessed golden rays burst forth from Gu Sheng’s body.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Countless golden beams radiated like the morning sun, brilliant and blinding.

They surged outward from the golden lake within Gu Sheng’s body, forming a sturdy barrier that instantly blocked the impact of Ji Haoyue’s power.

"Clang!"

The clash of two forces created a fierce ripple in the surrounding air.

When the ripple subsided, Gu Sheng had forcibly withstood the power of "Moon Rising Over the Sea."

For a fleeting moment, the entire space seemed to freeze.

"This... How is this possible?"

Everyone exclaimed aloud in shock.

They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Ji Haoyue’s Divine Body was renowned in all of East Desolation for its unparalleled strength.

But Gu Sheng, a seemingly inconspicuous new disciple, had actually managed to block his attack?

"How... how did he do it?"

Hua Yunfei was equally astounded.

In their earlier Illusion Realm trial, he had seen Gu Sheng grow stronger under pressure—but he hadn’t expected him to grow this powerful.

If he had fully unleashed his power during their earlier confrontation in the Illusion Realm, Hua Yunfei realized he might not have gained the upper hand at all.
