Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 849: Chapter 448: Failed Crossing

How could Gu Sheng bother with so much now?

The domain gate opened, the perfect chance to sneak away.

Without thinking, Gu Sheng dashed directly towards the gate.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Sheng’s figure flickered, combined with the gate’s attraction, his speed increased several folds.

"Quick! Must act fast!"

Gu Sheng thought to himself.

"Whoosh!"

A silhouette, ghost-like, blocked his path.

"Thinking of leaving? No way!"

A cold voice sounded.

Gu Sheng focused his eyes, the one blocking him was none other than Ji Wuji.

Ji Wuji’s cultivation realm was already above his, with the gate’s pull, his speed was astonishingly fast, catching up with Gu Sheng effortlessly.

"Gu Sheng, you won’t escape today!"

Ji Wuji shouted coldly.

Then, he summoned the longsword in his hand, its cold light aiming straight at Gu Sheng’s vital points.

Gu Sheng felt a chill in his heart and summoned the Fire Spirit Dagger to start swinging it.

As the saying goes, ’an inch longer, an inch stronger.’

After a few moves, Gu Sheng barely managed to fend off Ji Wuji’s offense.

Their sword light and dagger shadow intertwined in the void, echoing with roars.

Meanwhile, other Ji family retainers also charged up.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Gu Sheng couldn’t care anymore and directly stirred his divine power.

No matter what cultivator blocks his way, they must be killed!

"Ah..."

The sound of miserable cries came.

Gu Sheng only worried if the Fire Spirit Dagger would become dull, not caring who lived or died.

After a few moves, all the Ji family members blocking him retreated.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ji Wuji again transferred icy divine power to the burning Ji Changkong to slow down the combustion.

"Useless! A bunch of useless, defeated so quickly!"

Ji Changkong cursed angrily and charged again.

"Gu Sheng, today is your certain death!"

Ji Wuji shouted fiercely, and his sword momentum intensified greatly.

"Grrr... you... don’t think about it!"

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and held on.

But he knew he couldn’t stay here long, must find a chance to escape quickly.

His gaze quickly swept across the altar, seeing hundreds of cultivators already crossing the void, achieving their dreams.

The bustling Carefree Gate’s back mountain was now empty.

Only a few people from Carefree Gate and Ji family servants remained watching, leaving Gu Sheng fighting alone.

"Ah!!!"

At this moment, a scream pierced the battlefield’s silence.

Gu Sheng’s heart tightened, turning his head to look.

Ji Changkong was seen turning into ashes under the Five Elements True Fire.

Leaving only a mound of yellow soil and lingering sparks.

"No!"

Ji Wuji roared in anger, not expecting to see Ji Changkong burned alive at this moment.

Subsequently, as the domain gate’s pull grew stronger, it seemed about to close.

Gu Sheng knew he must leave quickly.

Otherwise, the Ji family would cut him into pieces!

"Huff..."

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, his True Qi circulating madly.

"Out!"

He summoned the Five Elements True Fire again.

Five-colored flames gathered in Gu Sheng’s hands, forming a barrier blocking Ji Wuji’s attack.

"Thinking of leaving? Leave your life here!"

Ji Wuji shouted and attacked frantically.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Sheng’s figure flickered and rushed toward the gate.

His speed was extremely fast, almost reaching the gate’s edge in the blink of an eye.

Just as Gu Sheng was about to step into the gate, he heard Ji Hui’s voice: "The Ji family’s Holy Master is here!"

"Hmm?"

Gu Sheng’s heart trembled, but he had no time to turn back.

His figure disappeared within the gate, leaving only Ji Wuji’s furious roar and Ji Hui’s terrified scream.

The domain gate closed slowly, the roaring ceased, only the burning flame lingering.

"Holy Master, Gu Sheng escaped into the gate, Elder Changkong he... he..."

Ji Wuji spoke, tears in his eyes, looking at the last cluster of flames.

"What! Elder!"

Ji Hui heard this and collapsed to the ground, kneeling near the flames weeping bitterly.

"Elder oh Elder, it’s all my fault, all my fault..."

At this moment, Carefree Gate’s Elder Wuyazi hurriedly stepped forward, bowing to the Ji family’s Holy Master: "Holy Master, this has nothing to do with Carefree Gate, we didn’t know any of this."

The Ji family’s Holy Master had a gloomy expression, his gaze seemed to penetrate the void, directly pointing to the other side of the gate.

He ignored Wuyazi’s explanation and focused his attention where the gate was.

"Swish!"

The Ji family’s Holy Master waved his hand, and an invisible force erupted.

"Boom!"

The sound of the shock was like a roll of heavenly thunder, instantly blasting the gate’s position into a void.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng, crossing the void, felt a massive force strike.

His body seemed grabbed by an invisible hand, flung harshly to the ground.

It was a mountain top, surrounded by dense forests and rugged rocks.

Gu Sheng quickly released his Divine Sense, sensing the surroundings.

He found this was still the Southern Domain, but thousands of miles away from Carefree Gate.

His heart sank, realizing his perilous situation.

If caught by the Ji family, the consequences would be unimaginably horrific.

Previously, Ji Ziyue was infatuated with him, Ji Chi was killed in the Fire Domain.

Now Ji Changkong was seen by many cultivators burned by the Five Elements True Fire.

Everything seemed to provoke the Ji family.

And it’s a minor cultivator doing the provocation.

If the entire East Desolation knew, how would the Ji family survive?

"He must die!"

The Ji family’s Holy Master said coldly.

His Divine Sense moved like a net, covering the entire Southern Domain.

Soon, the Ji family’s Holy Master sensed Gu Sheng’s location.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, he commanded coldly: "Ji Hui, order all Ji family members to hunt Gu Sheng with all their might, no mistakes allowed!"

"Yes!"

Ji Hui received the order and left.

Her eyes looked at where Ji Changkong’s body fell, her cheeks trembled slightly.

She knew, this was her chance to redeem herself, and her chance to avenge the elder.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng stood atop the mountain, also catching a hint of Divine Sense.

Though he knew whose Divine Sense this was, he sensed it carried killing intent.

Gu Sheng knew he couldn’t stay long.

He quickly adjusted his internal breath, preparing to set off again.

In case the Ji family caught up, things would indeed be bad.

Gu Sheng used the "Yuan" Ji Hui had gifted him before.

After a round of breathing control, Gu Sheng felt his body restored to its peak.

He scanned around, searching for possible hiding spots.

Quickly, he found a hidden cave.

The cave was mid-mountain, covered by dense foliage.

Without careful observation, it was hard to notice it.

Gu Sheng approached the cave cautiously, moving lightly and swiftly.

After entering the cave, Gu Sheng immediately sealed the entrance with Divine Power, forming an invisible barrier.

Doing so was to prevent the Ji family’s Divine Sense from detecting him.

Soon after, the Ji family’s cultivators indeed arrived at the forest.

They split into groups, meticulously searching every corner.

Ji Hui led a team, her face full of murderous intent, vowing to find Gu Sheng.

The Ji family’s search was meticulous, even using special treasures to detect life essence.

However, Gu Sheng’s hiding place was well-concealed, and with him sealing the cave entrance with True Qi, the Ji family couldn’t find his presence.

Hours passed, and the Ji family found no clues.

Thus, they gradually left the mountain, heading elsewhere.

Gu Sheng waited quietly in the cave, ensuring the Ji family left, then carefully exited the cave.

"Huff..."

Gu Sheng stood at the cave entrance, taking a deep breath of fresh air.

Knowing the Ji family as he does, they wouldn’t give up easily.

Therefore, he must devise a way to escape their pursuit.

Gu Sheng decided to act contrary, not heading towards the Northern Territory, but moving further south into the Southern Domain.

Such an unexpected move might catch the Ji family off guard.
