Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 833: Chapter 440: Two Become One

The Fire Crow Man reminded him.

Gu Sheng’s eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Please, senior, give me guidance."

"This seventh layer of the Fire Domain is transformed from the Origin Power of Fire. The Fire Spirit Dagger in your hand shares the same source with the power of the Fire Domain. You might be able to attempt fusing with the Fire Spirit Dagger, borrowing its power, and possibly make a breakthrough."

The Fire Crow Man said, pointing to the Fire Spirit Dagger in Gu Sheng’s hand.

Hearing this, Gu Sheng felt a stir in his heart.

So he immediately manipulated his Divine Sense, attempting to merge with the Fire Spirit Dagger.

Seeing this, the Fire Crow Man remained silent.

He sealed his hands, and streams of fiery red runes flew out from his hands, merging into Gu Sheng’s body.

Gu Sheng felt that the connection between his Divine Sense and the Fire Spirit Dagger was becoming increasingly tight.

His body began to emit scorching flames, and he seemed to turn into a burning dagger.

"Go!"

The Fire Crow Man shouted loudly and struck out with his palm.

That power directly acted on Gu Sheng’s back.

Immediately, Gu Sheng felt a tremendous force propelling him forward.

"Swish!"

A whistling sound echoed in Gu Sheng’s ears, and with it, his body fully fused with the Fire Spirit Dagger.

"Control your Divine Sense, I will lend you a helping hand!"

The Fire Crow Man said loudly.

Gu Sheng quickly heeded the Fire Crow Man’s instructions, controlling his Divine Sense, and directed the Fire Spirit Dagger forward.

At this moment, the Fire Spirit Dagger transformed into a streak of fire, flying forward.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Clatter clatter..."

Amidst the crisp yet muffled sounds that resounded in his ears, there were also sounds of shattering.

When these sounds subsided, Gu Sheng felt a burst of light immediately illuminate his body.

Subsequently, his Divine Sense perceived the breath of the outside world.

"Gu Sheng, you have broken through the seventh layer of the Fire Domain."

The Fire Crow Man informed Gu Sheng through transmission.

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng released his Divine Sense.

He discovered that he had emerged outside the Fire Domain. Consequently, his body returned to its normal form, and the Fire Spirit Dagger was back in his hand.

"Thank you, senior."

Gu Sheng expressed his gratitude again through transmission.

"We are fated to meet; no need for further courtesy. The world outside the Fire Domain is even broader; make sure to seize the opportunity."

The Fire Crow Man’s voice reached Gu Sheng’s ears.

Gu Sheng nodded, and once more cupped his fists toward the Fire Crow Man within the Fire Domain.

Leaving the Fire Domain, Gu Sheng spurred his Divine Power, soaring into the sky.

The past few months within the Fire Domain had indeed stifled him greatly.

"Ah!!!"

Gu Sheng roared, shouting with all his might: "I’m out again! Out again! Ahahaha..."

This shout, he didn’t realize, startled even himself.

Gu Sheng heard his voice reverberating in the air, the powerful energy fluctuations seemed almost enough to tear this space apart!

"Whimper whimper whimper..."

Suddenly, Ji Hui sensed these energy fluctuations from miles away.

At this moment, Ji Hui was at a crucial stage of her closed-door cultivation...

She was attempting to break through her cultivation and enter a new realm.

Layers of restrictions were set around her to ensure that she would not be disturbed during her training.

However, Gu Sheng’s roar, like thunder, pierced through the layers of space, reaching Ji Hui’s ears.

"Gu Sheng... you... you actually didn’t die!"

Ji Hui’s cultivation was severely disrupted.

Her disordered aura oscillated in the air, almost tearing apart the seclusion space.

"Whimper whimper whimper..."

Ji Hui’s complexion changed, and she almost spewed a mouthful of old blood.

Subsequently, she hurriedly circulated her Divine Power to stabilize her vital energy and blood.

After a long time, Ji Hui calmed her emotions.

"Someone, come!"

Ji Hui said coldly.

Quickly, a servant of the Ji family appeared outside her retreat room.

"Ancestor, what are your orders?"

This servant awaited her command respectfully.

"Send a message to Uncle Ji Chi, tell him that Gu Sheng has left the Fire Domain. He must find Gu Sheng and kill him!"

Ji Hui’s voice was icy, full of murderous intent.

"Yes."

The Ji family servant did not dare to hesitate for even the slightest moment and immediately carried out the order.

Ji Chi was Ji Hui’s uncle, and also a member of the Ji family.

His strength is unfathomable and is one of the key forces of the Ji family.

Upon receiving the message from Ji Hui’s servant, he immediately began his search for Gu Sheng.

Ji Chi’s Divine Sense spread like a vast net, quickly covering the space within thousands of miles.

His power is formidable, and the range covered by his Divine Sense is vast, quickly locking onto Gu Sheng’s position.

"Gu Sheng, you can’t escape!"

Ji Chi’s voice carried a hint of a cold sneer.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, his figure transformed into a stream of light, dashing rapidly toward the direction where Gu Sheng was.

However, Gu Sheng didn’t realize he had already been locked onto by Ji Chi and was still reveling in the joy of regained freedom.

At this moment, he was soaring in the air, feeling the breeze, and enjoying the unique fragrance of freedom.

But, danger was silently approaching.

Ji Chi’s speed was extremely fast, and he quickly closed in on Gu Sheng.

"Swoosh!"

His figure traced a red trail across the sky, terrifying to the extreme.

"Gu Sheng, meet your death!"

Ji Chi’s voice was like thunder, deafening and explosive.

"Huh?"

Hearing Ji Chi’s voice, Gu Sheng was startled.

A powerful killing intent was sensed by Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng immediately adjusted his stance, evading Ji Chi’s attack smoothly.

Gu Sheng took a closer look; the approaching figure was elderly, yet had the appearance of a young man, with a vigorous spirit.

But what puzzled Gu Sheng was how this old man possessed such intense killing intent.

This did not match his appearance and demeanor at all.

"Who are you?"

Gu Sheng steadied himself and coldly questioned.

"The one who’s going to kill you!"

Ji Chi replied.

At that moment, Gu Sheng sensed through his Divine Sense that this old man carried the aura of the Ji family.

Immediately, Gu Sheng asked, "Are you from the Ji family?"

"Exactly!"

Ji Chi nodded.

Meanwhile, from the other’s demeanor and speech, Gu Sheng could discern a trace of Ji Hui.

"What’s your relationship with Ji Hui?"

Gu Sheng pursued further.

"Seeing as you’re a dying man, I might as well tell you. I am Ji Hui’s uncle-master, Ji Chi!"

Ji Chi revealed his identity, showing some semblance of righteousness.

"Ji Chi? Ji Hui’s uncle-master?"

Gu Sheng was instantly taken aback.

It was already hard to contend with Ji Hui, let alone her uncle-master?

If that were the case, his cultivation would be even more unfathomable.

But even so, Gu Sheng had no intention of giving up easily.

After all, he had tempered himself in the Fire Domain, and perhaps he could surpass him.

"Come on! Show me what you’ve got!"

Gu Sheng shouted, instantly wielding the Fire Spirit Dagger in his hand.

The dagger emitted a dazzling fiery glow, forming layers of flame barriers around him.

"Hmph... just so-so!"

Ji Chi sneered, a longsword appearing in his hand.

The blade emitted a cold gleaming light, competing with the Fire Spirit Dagger.

"Swoosh!"

Ji Chi swung his sword, and a massive Sword Qi slashed towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng dared not take it head-on, transforming into a flash of fire to evade Ji Chi’s attack.

"Boom!"

The Sword Qi struck the mountain below, causing it to instantly collapse, with countless rocks exploding apart.

Turning back to look, Gu Sheng gasped in shock, secretly exclaiming in his heart, "Amazing!"

He knew he must find an opportunity to possibly defeat Ji Chi.

But if he resisted directly, he might be slain!

"Whizz, whizz, whizz!"

Ji Chi charged again.

The contest between the two was about to erupt.

Ji Chi’s attacks were immensely powerful, making the very space tremble as if it might shatter.

After several rounds, Gu Sheng gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

At this point, he was entirely relying on his agile movement technique and the power of the Fire Spirit Dagger to dodge Ji Chi’s attacks.

Gu Sheng diligently searched for Ji Chi’s flaws, hoping to use finesse to turn the situation around.

However, Ji Chi’s strength exceeded Gu Sheng’s imagination.

His attacks were like a storm, leaving Gu Sheng with almost no chance to retaliate.

"This... this old man..."

Gu Sheng was at a loss for words, barely managing to evade using the Heavenly Gang Seven Star Steps.

Several times, he narrowly escaped being killed by Ji Chi’s sword...
