Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

An intense killing intent engulfed Gu Chen, sending a piercing pain through every part of his body.

A martial arts grandmaster!

And not just one, but two!

Within the Hidden Edge Villa, Song Yu, Wang Yan, and a group of commanders changed color, the terrifying presence of grandmasters making all of them extremely uneasy. In fact, some commanders at the External Orifices level even started shivering uncontrollably at this moment.

What is a grandmaster? Admired by tens of thousands, worshipped by thousands, reaching an extremely high level in the martial path, capable of establishing a sect—it is only then one can be called a grandmaster!

Gu Chen's expression was grave; he had never imagined that two martial arts grandmasters would be lying in ambush here, specifically to assassinate him.

Even Gu Chen himself didn't know whether to feel fortunate or helpless. He knew that his importance in the eyes of the demonic cult was growing ever greater.

Chi!

The sword light was dazzling, and the blade light blinding. An intense killing aura engulfed the surrounding area. Two martial arts grandmasters attacked Gu Chen from different directions, aiming to deliver a killing blow.

They wanted to kill him with a single strike!

A cold glint burst forth in Gu Chen's deep and profound eyes. Ever since he reached the Returning to True Stage, perfected his Pure Yang True Body, and cultivated the Great Sun Divine Gang, he had fundamentally changed.

Boom!

Rolling blood qi burst forth from Gu Chen's pores, a pale gold aura suppressing the void. At the same time, he used the Controlling Wind Step Shadows technique, moving like a shadow, and with a whoosh, his entire being instantly vanished, escaping the deadly encirclement.

"Huh?!"

The two martial arts grandmasters from the Sunset Sword Sect and the Heavenly Saber Sect were taken aback as Gu Chen disappeared before their eyes.

Both had undergone two rounds of blood refinement, making their strength exceptionally formidable. Luo Ang and Dai Tong had sent these two, confident in an assured victory.

After all, to anyone's judgment, no matter how prodigious Gu Chen was, he couldn't possibly match a martial arts grandmaster in such a short time.

Because it was simply too unrealistic!

Even during the ancient era when martial arts thrived, such a figure might not appear in several generations, let alone now.

For this very reason, the two were confident in their attack, and coupled with the element of surprise, they believed they could kill Gu Chen in a swift, decisive blow!

But to their astonishment, Gu Chen's figure flickered and vanished from their sight.

"Be careful!"

At that moment, the grandmaster from the Heavenly Saber Sect shouted loudly. Unbeknownst to them, Gu Chen had already silently reached behind the grandmaster from the Sunset Sword Sect.

Thump!

With an indifferent expression, Gu Chen threw a punch, his fingers radiating with resplendent golden light. The unstoppable golden fist carried a fierce and peerless momentum, aiming for the back heart of the grandmaster.

"How dare you!"

The grandmaster from the Sunset Sword Sect was ranked sixth among the ten core elders, a much higher position than that of the Seventh Master who made decisions within the sect.

After emerging from seclusion with Luo Ang, he learned of Gu Chen's grievances with the Sunset Sword Sect from the Seventh Master. Without a second word, he came directly to the border, intending to kill Gu Chen and rid themselves of future trouble.

At that moment, the Sunset Sword Sect's Sixth Master let out a cold snort, saying, "You're courting death!"

Even though Gu Chen had cultivated an indestructible body, his cultivation realm was there for all to see. The Sixth Master, having reached the Transcendence Stage and undergone two rounds of blood refinement, believed that even Gu Chen's indestructible body couldn't possibly be stronger than his own physique.

"Today, I will show you what a martial arts grandmaster is. Your so-called indestructible body is nothing in the eyes of a grandmaster!"

As the words fell, the Sunset Sword Sect's grandmaster swiftly turned around and counterattacked with a palm strike towards Gu Chen.

Bang!

Their fists and palm collided, causing the void to tremble. The air within ten meters exploded on impact, emitting a series of explosive booms.

"Ah..."

The next moment, the grandmaster from the Sunset Sword Sect let out a cry of pain, stumbling backward. His palm, which had collided with Gu Chen's, was now bloody and mangled.

"You little beast!" he yelled, his face filled with disbelief, not understanding how Gu Chen's physique could be so formidable.

Even if it was indestructible, it made no sense for it to be this powerful!

After all, he had undergone two rounds of blood refinement and completely transformed his body not once, but twice!

The martial arts grandmaster from the Heavenly Saber Sect was also shocked. They had thought with their combined attack, they could easily suppress Gu Chen, but to their surprise, Gu Chen's physique was terrifyingly strong!

"We'll suppress him with our cultivation!" the grandmaster from the Heavenly Saber Sect exclaimed.

Blood flowing, the grandmaster from the Sunset Sword Sect retreated in midair to stand beside the Heavenly Saber Sect's grandmaster.

"You little beast, die!"

With a mighty roar, torrents of sword qi and blade light converged into rivers, like two miniature waterfalls crashing towards Gu Chen, the scene spectacular to behold.

Normally, with Gu Chen's current strength, he would be able to fight a grandmaster who had undergone two blood refinements without falling behind.

But against two grandmasters, Gu Chen might not necessarily be their match.

However, the situation was different now. Since they couldn't reveal their identities, both the Sunset Sword Sect's Sixth Master and the Heavenly Saber Sect's grandmaster hesitated to use their full power, fearing Gu Chen would recognize their sect's martial techniques. They wouldn't want their trouble to grow should they get exposed.

Even though they had joined the Six Union God Sect, neither sect wanted to expose themselves to the world just yet.

This reluctance gave Gu Chen an opportunity to exploit. Fighting against two, he didn't fall behind at all.

Boom!

As the Gang Wind surged, Gu Chen's dark robe fluttered loudly. With a cold demeanor and deep-set eyes, in this moment, the Great Sun Divine Gang within him surged turbulently through his meridians. He aimed a fierce palm strike at the two men.

Raging flames gathered, lighting up the world with a brilliant glow. The fire surged, and the air's temperature instantly soared, rapidly evaporating any moisture.

"Gangqi of a different kind?!" The two exclaimed.

The river of sword energy and saber energy that had formed exploded into flames the instant it made contact with the golden-red Great Sun Divine Gang released by Gu Chen.

The temperature of the Great Sun Divine Gang was extremely high, capable of burning and purifying all things in this world, let alone merely the sword energy and saber energy condensed from Gangqi.

Before long, this attack was incinerated into nothingness by the Great Sun Divine Gang.

The remaining Great Sun Divine Gang, like a fiery meteor, continued unabated, rushing toward the two grandmasters of the Sunset Sword Sect and the Heavenly Saber Sect.

The intensity of the heat was such that even grandmasters had to change their expressions. Both men hurriedly flashed away to dodge the attack.

"You will not be spared today!"

"Little beast, die!"

Having witnessed Gu Chen's terrifying strength, they knew that if they allowed Gu Chen to continue growing at this rate, only masters at the Hundred Orifices Stage or even those at the Returning to True Stage would be capable of dealing with him.

But even within the Sunset Sword Sect, there were only two martial grandmasters at the Hundred Orifices Stage, the Great Elder and the Sect Leader of the Sunset Sword Sect.

And there was only one martial grandmaster at the Returning to True Stage.

The two exchanged a glance, as grandmasters who had reached this level, each had their own fortune.

Apart from the martial arts of their own sect, of course, they also mastered other Superior Martial Skills!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Returning Origin Palm!"

"Thousand Blades Skill!"

Suddenly, a ferocious wind arose between heaven and earth. Within a radius of twenty yards, everything instantly shattered, the ground trembled, and a succession of terrifying cracks spread outward.

The Gangqi within the fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect surged; he pushed out with both palms, and a palm print of about fifteen yards appeared in the void, incredibly solid. The moment the palm print emerged, the ground began to sink.

On the other side, the grandmaster of the Heavenly Saber Sect also let out a mighty shout. Gang Wind surged between heaven and earth, with one after another translucent blade appearing in the void, dense and numerous, with hundreds visible, giving off an extreme sense of sharpness, as if even the void would be sliced open.

This was the strength of a martial grandmaster. With the combined strike of the two, even a small mountain in front of them would be shattered.

Gu Chen's expression was extremely solemn at this moment. Although both men refrained from fighting him openly due to the need to keep their identities hidden, their attacks were still not to be underestimated.

At this time, the aura of the grandmasters shook heaven and earth, with their vigorous spirit energy soaring into the sky. Xue Ling, who was battling a grandmaster of the Black Sky Sect at a distance, immediately changed his expression.

He turned his head sharply to look in Gu Chen's direction and started to turn, intending to go to Gu Chen's aid.

In Xue Ling's view, Gu Chen surely had no chance of surviving being attacked by two grandmasters.

Before coming here, Wang Jiuzhi had already told Xue Ling that his main mission was to protect Gu Chen. Now that Gu Chen was in danger, Xue Ling was naturally anxious.

"You can't escape!"

Seeing Xue Ling attempting to leave, the grandmaster of the Black Sky Sect made a move. He launched an attack that covered a ten-yard radius, and the ground exploded instantly.

Having no choice, Xue Ling could only turn back, as the other's cultivation realm was no weaker than his own. If he insisted on aiding Gu Chen, his opponent could easily inflict serious injuries on him.

If he allowed this person to free his hands, both he and Gu Chen would surely not survive and would die right here.

Xue Ling's expression was grave. He understood very well that only by resolving his current opponent could he go to support Gu Chen.

On the other side, at this moment, the combined attack of the fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect and the grandmaster of the Heavenly Saber Sect was already upon Gu Chen.

Gu Chen's expression was cold and stern. He let out a long howl, the sound clear and resounding, shaking in all directions, with even the void rippling.

Simultaneously, the Great Sun Divine Gang that had been building up inside him for four hundred thirty years suddenly surged. At that moment, a blazing flame appeared on the surface of his body. Gu Chen walked through the fire, the golden-red flames wrapping around him, forming a coat of fire on him, like a deity of flames.

"Die!"

The fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect and the grandmaster of the Heavenly Saber Sect roared furiously as a fifteen-yard palm print and hundreds of blades struck Gu Chen's body.

"Pure Yang True Body!"

Flames seemed to burn fiercely in the depths of Gu Chen's eyes. The layer of fire on his body grew even more intense, with even his hair taking on strands of flame, dancing wildly in the wind. Immediately afterward, he threw a punch in return, and suddenly, a fire dragon formed of fierce flames charged out.

Boom!

Their attacks collided, the void trembled, and the air emitted a series of explosions. A great explosion occurred here, its sound like thunder, with rolling white waves surging up to the sky.

"Kill!"

Gu Chen shouted lightly, his body shimmering with a dazzling glow. His robust blood energy swept towards the sky, and with his golden fists clenched, he moved aggressively towards the two grandmasters.

"Little beast, do you truly think we are afraid of you?"

The two grandmasters snorted coldly, their eyes filled with an intense killing intent. In this moment, they were like two furnaces, with surging blood energy gushing out from within them. The three of them charged at each other like fierce beasts.

Bang!

It was like a meteor colliding with the ground. As the three clashed, the ground immediately exploded, rocks and wood flew up high, and the Gang Wind was piercing, like knives.

The commotion here caused even Zang Feng Villa to tremble. The fierce battle between Gu Chen and the three caught the attention of everyone present. Song Yu and Wang Yan looked at the scene with concern.

After all, they were facing two martial grandmasters. Though they recognized Gu Chen's strength, he was still just one person.

The two lamented their lack of strength, unable to step forward to assist Gu Chen, and could only stand by, watching helplessly.

Boom, boom, boom!

Outside the Zang Feng Villa, one explosive sound after another was incessant. Gu Chen engaged in a close-quarters decisive battle with the two grandmasters.

Gu Chen's physical body was comparable to that of a martial grandmaster who had undergone blood replacement three times, which gave him a tremendous advantage in close combat. Even fighting against two, he still had the upper hand.

Especially since the power of the Great Sun Divine Gang was extremely strong. Both the fifth elder of the Sunset Sword Sect and the grandmaster of the Heavenly Saber Sect were on fire where they clashed with Gu Chen, with their skin turning charred and blackened.

"Kill!"

At this moment, Gu Chen roared, his astonishing blood energy seemingly capable of shattering the clouds in the sky and rushing upwards. His hair danced wildly, his body robust like an ancient azure dragon. He clenched his fists and struck horizontally at the two men before him!
