Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 235: Chapter 138: Insta-Kill, The Unusual Beast Roar_2

Gu Sheng picked up his arrows and began shooting again.

Despite the limitations of archery, it was difficult for his arrows to inflict lethal damage on Blood Refining Realm fighters clad in iron armor and prepared for battle. However, killing Refining Skin Realm fighters was effortless for him.

Gu Sheng’s targets were precisely those heavily armored Refining Skin Realm martial artists.

”Swish! Swish!”

”Swish! Swish!”

The arrows in Gu Sheng’s hands flew out continuously, and the heavily armored Refining Skin Realm fighters of the Black Sand Gang, who were once rampaging through the battlefield, began to fall one by one.

In an instant, the martial artists of the Black Sand Gang became panicked, nervously guarding and avoiding the arrows. Their offensive progress was greatly impeded, and some were even hacked to death by Gu’s Manor fighters who seized the opportunity.

Seeing this, Wang Tiansheng’s heart sank, and he immediately made a decision.

”You two, go deal with that kid first!”

The two Small Success Blood Refining Realm fighters from the Black Sand Gang, who were unrestrained by opponents, abandoned their current foes and rushed toward Gu Sheng.

Gu Xiaojiang, unaware of Gu Sheng’s true strength, panicked upon seeing two Blood Refining Realm fighters charging toward him.

”Asheng, run! Run!” Gu Xiaojiang shouted at Gu Sheng while swinging his sword to avoid his opponent and attempting to go support Gu Sheng.

”Heh! A snot-nosed brat dares to split his focus during a fight with me? Die!”

The Black Sand Gang fighter battling Gu Xiaojiang sneered viciously as he lunged forward.

Although Gu Xiaojiang had exceptional talent, most of his journey consisted of secluded training, sparring only occasionally with Gu Jingang. He rarely ventured into Cang Mountain to hunt beasts. His lack of combat experience put him at a disadvantage in the fight against this Blood Refining Realm fighter from the Black Sand Gang.

Had he not been wearing iron armor, he would have already suffered injuries by now. Distracted by worry for Gu Sheng, his battle performance faltered further, causing him to be suppressed and face increasingly dangerous situations.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng calmly drew two special armor-piercing arrows forged by Helian Tie Lan.

”Whoosh!”

The sound of the arrow slicing through the air echoed as the armor-piercing arrow cut a chilling streak through the night sky, heading straight for the fighter entangled with Gu Xiaojiang.

”Heh, I’ve been waiting for this!”

The fighter battling Gu Xiaojiang was a middle-aged man in his forties. Though his talent could not compare to that of a prodigy like Gu Xiaojiang, his cunning far surpassed Gu Xiaojiang’s by a mile!

He ceased his attack on Gu Xiaojiang, retreated a few steps, and timely swung his blade to intercept the incoming arrow.

”Crack!”

An armor-piercing arrow was successfully split in two by the blade. However, before he could rejoice, the sound of another arrow piercing flesh rang out. In an instant, blazing pain descended upon him.

Looking down, he saw another armor-piercing arrow had penetrated the junction of his heavy armor and pierced through his left shoulder blade.

With the aid of his refinement methods, Gu Sheng’s archery had already reached the pinnacle of ordinary techniques. Just now, he had employed an advanced maneuver to shoot two arrows simultaneously, masking their sounds as one.

With his shoulder blade injured, the fighter’s combat power diminished, and Gu Xiaojiang began to regain the upper hand.

”Damn it, die!”

Meanwhile, the two Small Success Blood Refining Realm fighters sent to kill Gu Sheng were already closing in on him.

The previously displayed power of Gu Sheng’s arrows had drawn the attention of many, leaving them astonished by his formidable skills.

After flashing a smile to Gu Xiaojiang, Gu Sheng turned and sprinted toward the inner courtyard of the manor.

When he reached his small courtyard, Gu Sheng came to a halt.

The two pursuing fighters from the Black Sand Gang assumed that Gu Sheng had exhausted himself and let out grim laughter. ”Haha, running anymore? Why stop? Chased us all the way here, huh? When I chop your head off and use it as a ball, then I’ll be satisfied!”

Wearing heavy armor, their mobility was limited. To keep up with Gu Sheng’s pace, they had poured all their energy into sprinting, leaving them gasping heavily for air.

A faint smile tugged at Gu Sheng’s lips. ”Good idea! I just wonder if your heads can handle being kicked by me!”

Under the guise of the Snake Breath Skill, neither of the fighters sensed any Qi Blood Power from Gu Sheng. To them, he was merely an exceptionally skilled Jade Skin Realm archer.

Individually, either of the two fighters could have easily handled Gu Sheng, not to mention the fact that they were both clad in iron armor and had joined forces!

At this close range, they were sure not to give him an opportunity to shoot his arrows.

Infuriated by his remarks, the two fighters burst out laughing. ”Haha, arrogant brat! Let’s see if it’s your legs or our heads that win this contest!”

”Oh? Is that so? Let’s put it to the test!”

Lightning flashed beneath Gu Sheng’s feet as his speed surged. Leaving behind a residual blur in mid-air, he flew toward the fighter who had spoken first and delivered a sharp kick.

”Thud!”

A heavy sound echoed as the man was sent flying by Gu Sheng’s kick.

With no one around to witness, Gu Sheng cared little about revealing his strength. The overwhelming force behind his kick crushed the iron helmet and obliterated the man’s head like an egg bursting open!

”You... you’re not a Refining Skin fighter!”

The defense provided by heavy armor was staggering; even a Blood Refining Realm Great Success fighter would struggle to destroy it in one strike. Only a Blood Refining Realm Perfect fighter or a Bone Refining Realm master could wield such terrifying offensive power!

The surviving fighter stared in shock at his comrade’s brutal end. Stammering, he finally reacted.

Gu Sheng chuckled. ”Correct answer. Here’s your reward: a whip kick!”

Having witnessed the horrors of Gu Sheng’s power, the man, now entirely devoid of fighting spirit, let out a shriek and fled. His desperation to escape made him curse the birth of two legs instead of four.

Unfortunately, his speed was no match for Gu Sheng’s, especially since he was weighed down by heavy armor.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Sheng caught up with him and finished him off, smashing his head to bits with another brutal kick.

”The strength of Bone Refining Realm truly is formidable!”

Feeling the surging power within his body, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but marvel.

Back when he was in the Blood Refining Realm, he would have required the help of the Blood Axe to even attempt breaking iron-heavy armor in one blow.

Without Gu Sheng’s contributions, the battles of Refining Skin Realm fighters at Gu’s Manor increasingly tipped toward defeat. Even the skirmishes among Blood Refining Realm fighters remained balanced only for Gu Changming and Gu Xiaojiang.

Gu Jingang and Gu Dajiang too were succumbing to pressure, with Gu Dajiang’s deteriorating condition due to his arm injury rendering him close to defeat.

”Haha, so this is the ’mighty Gu Dajiang of the East’? You’re nothing special!”

The Black Sand Gang fighter facing Gu Dajiang laughed heartily and swung his broadsword ferociously downward.

Already fatigued, Gu Dajiang hastily raised his blade to defend against the incoming attack.

”Clang! Crack!”

Gu Dajiang’s long blade shattered into two pieces under the force of the broadsword, with its residual power landing squarely on his iron armor.

While the armor spared Gu Dajiang from being cleaved in two, the immense impact churned his Qi Blood Power, forcing him to cough up a mouthful of blood and weakening his aura drastically.

”Heh! Try enduring another strike!”

The fighter raised his broadsword once more, the blade gleaming with a cold light as it swept through the air with a sanguine stench, aiming for the connection between Gu Dajiang’s helmet and armor.

If the strike landed, Gu Dajiang would surely die!

”Father!”

”Dajiang!”

Gu Jingang, Gu Changming, and Gu Xiaojiang cried out in horror, attempting to rush to his aid, but the Black Sand Gang fighters cunningly obstructed them, preventing their escape.

”Whoosh!”

A radiant white tail streaked through the sky, an armor-piercing arrow striking the raised broadsword with pinpoint precision.

With his current strength, Gu Sheng could effortlessly unleash the full six-stone power of his bow.

The mighty arrow interrupted the broadsword’s swing, leaving the attacker struggling to maintain his grip.

”Asheng! You...?”

Previously, Gu Xiaojiang had mistaken Gu Sheng’s arrow strike on his opponent as luck. Now it was evident that Gu Sheng had been concealing his prowess!

Gu Sheng arrived just in time to witness the scene and stepped in to save Gu Dajiang.

He threw a reassuring smile at Gu Xiaojiang. ”Fight well. Win, and treat me to drinks later!”

With that, Gu Sheng drew three more arrows and nocked them onto his bow.

Having experienced the terror of Gu Sheng’s arrows, the Black Sand Gang fighter panicked, immediately crouching down and fortifying his defense to eliminate any vulnerabilities.

”Clang! Clang! Clang!”

Though Gu Sheng’s archery was exceptional, it had yet to reach the mastery level of martial techniques. Limited by the bow’s constraints, the three arrows failed to penetrate the heavy armor, merely leaving three deep dents upon it.

Relieved, Gu Dajiang swiftly retreated from the fray. After jumping out of the battle circle, he gazed at Gu Sheng with profound gratitude.

”Asheng, thank you!”

Back when Gu Sheng first began training in martial arts, Gu Dajiang had often looked after him. Naturally, Gu Sheng wouldn’t stand idly by when someone who had once helped him faced danger.

”Now isn’t the time for talk. Be careful, Uncle Dajiang!”

Gu Dajiang nodded, picked up a long sword from the ground, and re-entered the fight.

With Gu Sheng’s return to the battlefield, the situation became tense and balanced once again.

”Roar!”

Suddenly, a deafening beastly roar erupted from the depths of Cang Mountain, its overwhelming sound momentarily halting all combat on the field.
