Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 153: Chapter 108: Fierce Reputation! Consecutive Blood Refining!_2

It seemed he was unwilling to die just like this, unable to avenge his mother’s murder.

Gu Sheng’s expression did not show the slightest fluctuation. He squatted down and searched Lian Xubai, finding a few silver notes, and surprisingly, also a yellowed book titled ”Insights on Raising Poison Bees.” Slightly opening it, he could see the newest page still had fresh ink.

Clearly.

This was the work that Poison Bee Guest had compiled on his own, recording it at any time, with the effort of most of his life being placed within.

Joy flickered in Gu Sheng’s heart, thinking that after returning, he could study it well. Even if he didn’t need it, he could also exchange it for money. It could certainly sell for a good price.

The axe blade twisted, and a bloody head fell into Gu Sheng’s hand.

He was about to leave.

When a few figures appeared in front of him, each face filled with frustration and anger.

It was the Three Fiends of the Gale.

They had finally managed to kill those poison bees. In fact, they were already very fast, but they didn’t expect Gu Sheng could kill Poison Bee Guest so quickly, snatching the prize. Their feelings could be well imagined.

”Butcher, isn’t what you did rather underhanded?”

The leader of the Three Fiends, Li Wen, snorted and said coldly, looking at Gu Sheng with a frosty gaze.

Second brother Li Wu was also indignant:

”That’s right! We three brothers went through all kinds of hardships to corner this Poison Bee Guest, and now you intervene without a word, cutting in disgracefully!”

Youngest Li Ping said nothing, just stared sinisterly at Gu Sheng. Among the three brothers, he was the most ruthless. The majority reason why they were called fiends was because of this man.

Gu Sheng slowly hung Poison Bee Guest’s head on his waist, a snarl twisting his beefy face, and laughed heartily:

”Then what do you want?”

”We put in a great effort for this task; we should get the lion’s share of the silver bounty. We can give you a copy of the Golden Body Skill.”

Li Wen said deeply, seemingly somewhat wary of Gu Sheng’s strength. They ultimately didn’t voice excessively demanding terms.

In their view, this was already a very reasonable arrangement.

Unexpectedly.

The butcher before them suddenly burst into wild laughter.

After laughing, a chilling voice slowly sounded:

”The mission of sword for hire is never exclusive. Now that Poison Bee Guest’s head is in my hand, naturally I claim the bounty. You speak so righteously, do you take it as a reward for some family?”

His glaring eyes exuded a soul-stirring aura instantly.

”Get lost!”

A task completed by one’s own skill, and yet they dare to provoke?

Don’t think backing down would settle the matter. These mercenaries are not to be trifled with; the softer you appear, the easier it is for others to oppress you.

Gu Sheng’s hand slowly tightened on the giant axe.

The faces of the Three Fiends of the Gale changed in unison, never expecting the butcher to be so arrogant, his behavior simply disregarded their presence. This was no longer about just a task. If word got out, others might think they feared the butcher!

”Good! Good! Very good!”

”Butcher, you’re renowned for not taking Fast Blade Zhou Song seriously before, and now acting so audaciously, we Three Fiends of the Gale must seek this reckoning!”

Li Wen was extremely furious but laughed instead, his fine steel sword ringing as it unsheathed, exuding a coldness.

Li Wu also brandished a longsword, his eyes fierce.

As for Li Ping, he bore a pair of sharp iron claw gloves, ferocious and menacing.

In an instant, the three of them formed a triangular formation, surrounding Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng’s eyes gradually narrowed.

”Attack!”

With a shout from Li Wu, the three of them simultaneously launched an assault.

All three were born of the same mother and understood each other very well, skilled in combined attack techniques. One was adept with the sword, one with the blade, and one with fists and kicks. When they attacked together, it was as if they were facing one person, only this person had three heads and six arms, with numerous techniques.

Li Wu turned his long blade into a light band, with a dazzling blade light aiming towards Gu Sheng’s face.

Li Wen’s fine steel sword slashed diagonally outwards at a tricky angle, targeting Gu Sheng’s armpit.

As for Li Ping, with a gloomy gaze and sinister claw grips, he took advantage of his two brothers’ cover to approach closely, one claw tearing towards Gu Sheng’s groin.

All three burst with vitality, their initial attacks filled with murderous intent, showing no hint of restraint.

It was not uncommon for hired hands to slaughter each other; these people were never on the same side after all.

”Seeking death!”

Gu Sheng’s half-narrowed eyes suddenly widened. An inch longer, an inch stronger, an inch shorter, an inch riskier. With a gentle swing and twist of the giant axe in his hand, Li Wen’s and Li Wu’s blades and swords were knocked aside, and the metallic clang echoed across the fields.

Li Ping’s eyes shone, seizing the opportunity to approach with savage claw winds, but what greeted him was a pair of iron legs.

His leg muscles suddenly swelled, filling his pants, and as they swung fiercely, they carried a thunderous boom, lashing towards Li Ping’s head. The whistling wind made Li Ping’s complexion change, quickly retreating in defense.

In an instant.

The four of them battled into a blur.

In the distance, martial artists of Tianze Village gradually gathered but dared not intervene. From the fragmented dialogue earlier, they knew that all four of these men were notorious mercenaries with considerable strength.

At this moment, seeing the intensity of the engagement, it was all the more fierce.

If an ordinary martial artist got caught up in it, they would be dead on the spot.

In the distance, an unknown swordsman appeared, Zhou Song looked at the four engaged in battle, his heart sinking:

”It’s the butcher and the Three Fiends of the Gale... I’m late...”

He glimpsed two other figures behind, also mercenaries. These few were initially deceived by Poison Bee Guest and only adjusted course after realizing it, though even then they were very late. Upon seeing the four fighting on scene now, they immediately understood what had unfolded.
