Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 152: Chapter 108: Fierce Reputation! Consecutive Blood Refining!

The name of a man carries weight, just like the shadow of a tree.

Now, Gu Sheng’s reputation was no small matter, especially with his iconic giant axe that made him instantly recognizable. The brutal dominance of the ”Butcher with the Giant Axe” was enough to strike fear into the hearts of common bandits.

If it were any other time.

Lian Xubai would have prided himself on exchanging a few moves with the Butcher, but now, having just suffered an ambush from the Gale Wind Triplets, bearing injuries, trapped between foes from all sides—if the Butcher were to hold him up, he’d likely lose his life here.

His elderly mother had recently been cruelly murdered by the Gale Wind Triplets, and all he wanted now was revenge. He had no desire to be tangled up in this situation.

”Get out of my way!”

Lian Xubai’s eyes were fierce. A thin veil of Qi Blood Power shrouded his body and exploded in a burst, his speed suddenly increasing by a notch.

Gu Sheng grinned widely.

”This path is closed.”

Lian Xubai’s grudge against the Gale Wind Triplets was of no concern to him. Now that Lian Xubai had delivered himself to his door, there was no way Gu Sheng would let him escape. He had come specifically to kill Lian Xubai, and his recent loss of a mother wouldn’t earn him any compassion.

In Gu Sheng’s eyes, Lian Xubai was nothing more than two hundred taels of silver and the Golden Body Skill.

After days of relentless pursuit, the time for harvest had come.

Gu Sheng stomped the ground, his body leaping through the air like a hunting leopard. The giant axe tore through the air, whistling with a fierce wind as it came slashing down.

Lian Xubai’s expression changed. Deep down, he acknowledged that the ”Butcher with the Giant Axe” lived up to his terrifying reputation.

The might of this giant axe was so great that even at his peak, Lian wouldn’t dare to take it lightly.

He gritted his teeth, the Qi Blood Power surging madly into his arms. His hands twisted in an unnerving, arcane manner in the void, smacking hard against the axe’s surface.

Clang!

A muffled sound echoed. The massive axe was deflected slightly, yet Lian Xubai felt his arms go numb and ache fiercely. Fortunately, he adjusted his posture in time, using the recoil to propel himself far away like a dart, even though another mouthful of blood spurted out from him.

Forcing a collision with a 108-pound giant axe was anything but pleasant.

”You’ve got some skill, I’ll give you that.”

Gu Sheng nodded slightly in his heart. Rumor had it that the Poison Bee Guest relied entirely on his bees to bully weaker opponents, but his martial skills weren’t too shabby either. That last maneuver was nothing short of exquisite.

In the distance.

The poisonous bees that had been restraining the Gale Wind Triplets were visibly dwindling. Without the Secret Technique or their master’s control, the bees’ lethality had significantly dropped. At most, they could only slightly delay the Triplets.

At this moment, the three had noticed the commotion over here.

Their expressions all shifted, and the eldest of the Triplets shouted in fury:

”Butcher, you dare to snatch the kill?!”

The Gale Wind Triplets were identical triplets. Despite each only being at entry-level Blood Refining Realm cultivation, their profound synchronicity and expertise in joint attacks made even those of small success in the Blood Refining Realm fear them. The three were inseparable, and many even regarded them as a single entity.

Gu Sheng glanced at the three, ignoring them altogether.

Snatch, my ass. A bounty mission goes to the one capable—if you’re not happy, come fight me.

Watching the fleeing Lian Xubai, Gu Sheng’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. Qi Blood Power surged into his legs, each muscle strand standing out distinctly, wrapped in veils of red energy. With a powerful leap forward, Gu Sheng charged like a thunderbolt!

Boom!

The ferocity of his incredible speed carried a faint rumble of thunder. Within just two breaths, Gu Sheng had already caught up, his giant axe rising high, his eyes fixed on Lian Xubai as if he were a piece of firewood, layers of muscle and bones already dissected in his mind.

Hearing the violent noise behind him, Lian Xubai paled, his soul almost leaving his body. He dove into a roll to evade.

Bang!

The giant axe slashed viciously down. The force of the slicing wind left a deep gash in the ground and sent razor pains across Lian Xubai’s skin, blood streaming profusely.

Before Lian Xubai could regain his footing, Gu Sheng’s axe had already come slashing down again.

The Great Success Flying Thunder Leg gave him an overwhelming advantage. Despite his bulky frame, his movements were startlingly agile, and the massive axe in his hand seemed like nothing more than a toy.

With the Gale Wind Triplets soon to break free, Gu Sheng was in no mood for delays.

Lian Xubai clenched his teeth and pushed his Qi Blood Power to its limit. Repeating his earlier trick, his hands twisted in that strange pattern, striking out at the axe like a butterfly flitting among flowers. Seeing this, a sneer curled at the corner of Gu Sheng’s lips. He wouldn’t fall for the same tactic twice.

The axe twisted and sliced with precision. Lian Xubai’s expression turned to terror.

As the axe spun, it became like a blade for flaying bones. Just as he began to retract his arm, searing pain shot through it.

”Ah!!”

A heart-wrenching scream erupted. The sound of cracking and grinding bones followed. Lian Xubai’s right arm was instantly reduced to minced flesh; bones were sheared in half, red blood and white bone fragments painting a gruesome picture.

He staggered back, using the last of his strength to barely deflect the giant axe.

Gu Sheng’s gaze remained icy cold.

He lunged again, closing the distance. Holding the axe with his left hand, he used his right for the first time to unleash the Iron Stone Fist. His punch came crashing down like a rolling boulder, its oppressive force far exceeding that of even the deadly axe. The muscles of his right arm swelled with explosive power, practically radiating a palpable, terrifying energy.

The special effect of the Iron Stone Fist: First-level Herculean Might!

Whoosh!

The howling punch wind caused Lian Xubai’s pupils to contract in fear. He was utterly stunned. The world believed that the Butcher’s specialty lay in his axe skills, but little did they know his fist techniques were even more deadly.

Unfortunately, Lian Xubai would never have the chance to reveal this secret.

The chilling fist wind rendered him speechless.

The blood-filled fist loomed larger in his vision, and then it rammed squarely into his chest.

Bang!

The bone-jarring impact echoed across the fields, sending shivers through the peasants hiding in their village huts.

Gu Sheng slowly withdrew his fist.

Lian Xubai collapsed onto the ground, his chest completely caved in. Even the body of a Blood Refining Realm martial artist of small success level crumpled like paper, unable to withstand even a flicker of Gu Sheng’s power. His ribcage shattered piece by piece, his heart reduced to pulp by the force of the punch.

Lian Xubai’s pupils dilated and grew lifeless, his gaze fixed firmly in the direction of the distance.
