Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 569: Chapter 308: Settling Down, Holy Daughter Can Choose Freely?_2

”Such a miraculous technique; is this the ultimate skill of the Shadow Mist?” Gu Sheng exclaimed in amazement.

Subsequently, the siblings Ji Xuri and Ji Yewei of the Ji family showcased their ultimate skills.

Ji Xuri performed ”The Rising Sun at Sea,” where a red sun rose steadily from the sea horizon with a wave of his hand, illuminating the entire Lingxiao Mountain, filling people with a surge of life force.

Ji Yewei, on the other hand, brought the performance of the Moonlit Mysterious Dream. With a gentle wave of her sleeve, it seemed as if one was transported to a tranquil moonlit night, feeling a mysterious and serene aura.

Jing Yin, the young nun’s performance also caught everyone’s attention. She gently beat the meditative wooden fish, producing a melodious divine sound that seemed to cleanse people’s inner dust. Meanwhile, Prince Jin Huang of the Golden Country performed ”Golden Sand Gather and Scatter.” The golden sand in his hands flowed unpredictably, as if he controlled the power of the desert.

The grand finale was brought by Jiang Yichen with his performances of ”The Tide of the Azure Sea” and ”The Melting Sand under the Scorching Sun.” With a wave of both hands, a vast ocean appeared before everyone, the waves rolling, and the sound of tides roaring.

Then, with another wave of his hand, a scorching sun appeared out of thin air, shining upon the ocean. Under the sun’s blaze, the waves gradually evaporated, forming a desert. The sun was scorching, as if flames were dancing in the desert.

”What an incredible illusion technique!” Gu Sheng marveled, ”Brother Jiang’s cultivation is indeed unfathomable.”

However, at that moment, an unforeseen change occurred. At the peak of the serene Lingxiao Mountain, a violent gale arose suddenly, with flying sand and stones. A powerful evil aura descended from the sky, shrouding the entire mountain top.

”Not good! We are under attack!” Jiang Yichen’s expression changed, and he immediately looked around warily.

Everyone also became vigilant. The young geniuses each unleashed a powerful aura, ready to face the imminent enemy.

”Hahaha! The Heavenly Dao Sect truly knows how to put on a grand display, gathering so many so-called young geniuses.” An eerie voice sounded in the sky, followed by a dark shadow descending in front of everyone.

The newcomer was clad in a black robe, with a sinister look on his face and evil glint in his eyes. He scanned the crowd, then fixed his gaze on Jiang Yichen: ”Jiang Yichen, do you think inviting these so-called geniuses will allow you to oppose us? How laughable!”

”Who are you to dare act recklessly here?” Jiang Yichen hissed sternly.

”Who am I? Hahaha! I am your future nightmare!” The black-robed man laughed arrogantly, ”Today, I shall show you true power!”

With that, his figure flickered, transforming into a shadow as he attacked the crowd. His speed was incredible, appearing before Gu Sheng in the blink of an eye, striking at his chest with a palm.

Gu Sheng reacted swiftly, dodging the palm as his figure flickered, simultaneously countering with a slash of his sword. However, the black-robed man seemed to anticipate it, flickering his figure once again to evade the sword, and kicked at Gu Sheng’s abdomen.

Gu Sheng was astonished in his heart, not expecting the black-robed man’s prowess to be so formidable. He rapidly retreated, wielding his sword to fend off the black-robed man’s attack. The two battled in mid-air for dozens of rounds, ending in a stalemate.

This black-robed man bore some resemblance to the one Gu Sheng encountered in the Taichu Ancient Mine. He couldn’t discern the true origin of this black-robed man, who was always lurking like a specter. Today would be the chance to investigate, with the help of the geniuses.

Meanwhile, other young geniuses also engaged in battle against the black-robed man’s followers. The entire peak of Lingxiao Mountain fell into chaotic warfare. The Shaking Light Saintess, the Shadow Mist youth, Ji Xuri, Ji Yewei, and others showcased their divine skills, embroiled in fierce combat with the enemy. Jing Yin, the young nun, stood aside, chanting prayers for the crowd. Prince Jin Huang wielded his golden sand, forming golden sword beams attacking the opponents.

The black-robed man’s power was overwhelming. His figure flitted like a phantom on the battlefield, his every move dealing severe blows to a young genius, leaving them defenseless.

”Hahaha! You so-called geniuses are nothing but ants in my eyes!” The black-robed man laughed wildly, ”Today, let me show you true despair!”

Saying this, his figure flickered once more, targeting Gu Sheng with an even faster and stronger attack, intending to eliminate him with one strike.

The Battle of Lingxiao Mountain

The black-robed man laughed arrogantly, his figure flitting like a phantom, wreaking havoc on the battlefield, plunging the young geniuses into a bitter struggle. However, at that moment, five figures suddenly joined forces, launching a fierce assault on the black-robed man.

”Black-robed demon, cease your arrogance!” Wei Daoyuan shouted coldly, wielding the Black Light Shadowy Sword. A sword strike was cast, the sword qi crisscrossing as if to shatter mountains and rivers.

The black-robed man sneered, his figure flickering to deftly evade Wei Daoyuan’s attack: ”Humph, a mere Fourth Level Sea Floor Realm kid dares to act impudent before me?”

”How about adding me in then?” Jiang Yichen’s figure flickered, appearing behind the black-robed man, his Dust Sword skill slashing forth, sword qi tearing through the sky.

The black-robed man was surprised for a moment but still evaded Jiang Yichen’s attack with ease: ”Oh? You’re also Fourth Level Sea Floor Realm? Not bad, not bad.”

At this time, Jing Yin, the young nun, joined the battle, gently striking her meditative wooden fish, emitting a melodic divine sound. This sound entered the black-robed man’s ears, causing him a slight hesitation.

”What is this infernal thing?” The black-robed man roared angrily, his figure flickering as he charged at Jing Yin.

However, just as he moved, he sensed a fierce sword qi approaching. It was the Shaking Light Saintess making her move. She wore a white soft armor shield, wielding a longsword with unparalleled swordsmanship. As her swordsmanship danced, petals of white lotus flowers flew outward, transforming into fierce attacks towards the black-robed man.

”Humph! Do you think this can deal with me?” The black-robed man sneered, his figure flickering to avoid the Shaking Light Saintess’ attacks. But right at that moment, he felt a strong sense of crisis. It was Gu Sheng who had made his move!

Gu Sheng activated his Ancient Sacred Body, his body glowing with golden lattice-like light. He blasted a golden palm towards the black-robed man! He also employed Gale Nine Swords and Carefree Ascension Step techniques to maneuver around the black-robed man. Under the combined attack of Gu Sheng, Wei Daoyuan, Jiang Yichen, Jing Yin, and the Shaking Light Saintess, the black-robed man finally felt pressured.

”You upstarts truly don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!” The black-robed man roared and transformed into a nine-headed Volcano Crocodile! He unleashed attacks of the five elements—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—against the five individuals, laughing arrogantly, ”Allow me to show you true power!”

Faced with the black-robed man’s fierce assault, the five were not daunted. Each displayed their ultimate skills to counteract him. Wei Daoyuan wielded the Black Light Shadowy Sword, unleashing even fiercer sword qi; Jiang Yichen maneuvered with the Dust Sword skill against the black-robed man; Jing Yin continued striking the meditative wooden fish to weaken the black-robed man’s assault; the Shaking Light Saintess relentlessly launched White Lotus Scatter Flower attacks at the black-robed man; and Gu Sheng relied on his Ancient Sacred Body and Gale Nine Swords techniques to fiercely engage the black-robed man.

The battle persisted for a long time, with both sides locked in a stalemate. However, at that moment, a sudden inspiration struck Gu Sheng. He quietly utilized the Shadow Concealment Skill to hide his presence, then stealthily approached the black-robed man. When the black-robed man launched another attack, Gu Sheng suddenly appeared, delivering a fierce golden punch to the black-robed man’s back!

”Ah!” The black-robed man screamed, being forcefully blasted away by Gu Sheng’s blow. Falling to the ground, he spat blood, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief: ”You... how could you possibly harm me?”

”Humph! Did you think turning into a nine-headed Volcano Crocodile makes you invincible?” Gu Sheng sneered, approaching the black-robed man with the Jade Maiden Seven-color Sword in hand, ”Today, I will show you that there is always someone beyond the heavens!”

Under the combined assault of Gu Sheng, Wei Daoyuan, Jiang Yichen, Jing Yin, and the Shaking Light Saintess, the black-robed man was ultimately defeated. Lying on the ground, he watched the five with eyes filled with terror and resentment: ”You all... just wait... one day, I will make you pay...”

After speaking, he ignited himself, transforming into a streak of black light, shooting skyward.
