Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 566: Chapter 307: Tombstone of the Grim Reaper

As they prepared to leave the cave, they suddenly discovered a massive stone door deep within! This stone door radiated a mysterious glow, as if it were telling some ancient story...

”What is this?” Gu Sheng asked in astonishment.

”I’m not sure.” The Yaochi Saintess shook her head. ”But I feel that this stone door might conceal an even greater secret...”

”Should we go in and take a look?” Gu Sheng asked hesitantly.

The Yaochi Saintess took a deep breath and said resolutely, ”Since we’ve come this far, we can’t turn back now! No matter what challenges and difficulties lie ahead, we must face them courageously!”

Feeling a surge of warmth in his heart, Gu Sheng firmly grasped the Yaochi Saintess’s hand. ”Alright! Let’s go in and find out together!”

Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saintess stepped into the stone door maze hand in hand. A wave of ancient and mysterious energy rushed toward them. The maze was dimly lit, but with their profound cultivation, they could see as clearly as in daylight even in the darkness.

”This seems to be a maze,” Gu Sheng said as he surveyed their surroundings.

”Hmm. Let’s be cautious.” The Yaochi Saintess warned, her voice echoing through the vast maze, carrying a trace of mystery and distanced serenity.

They advanced cautiously, when suddenly, a strange noise arose. Small holes abruptly appeared on the surrounding walls, and arrows shot out from them, aiming directly at the pair!

”Watch out!” Gu Sheng shouted, pulling the Yaochi Saintess quickly aside. The arrows narrowly grazed past them, missing them by a hair.

”So there are traps here!” the Yaochi Saintess exclaimed in astonishment.

A glimmer of cold determination flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes. ”No matter what trap lies ahead, nothing will stop us from moving forward!” With that, he activated Gale Nine Swords, his figure moving like wind within the maze. With every sword strike, he deflected the arrows one by one.

Not to be outdone, the Yaochi Saintess employed the Yaochi Holy Realm Cultivation Technique. Every attack she unleashed carried the extraordinary imagery of the Immortal Realm. With a casual wave of her hand, vibrant flower petals floated down from the skies, shattering the arrows aimed at them.

The two advanced together and soon passed through the first obstacle. However, the road ahead remained long, and they knew the challenges still to come would be even tougher.

As they delved deeper into the maze, they began to sense that this labyrinth seemed to possess its own life. Every turn seemed to harbor new traps and trials. Yet, with their exceptional cultivation and seamless collaboration, they managed to overcome danger time and again.

Finally, they reached the heart of the maze. Before them stood another massive stone door, engraved with ancient runes and patterns. These runes and patterns emitted a faint glow, as if narrating some long-forgotten story.

”It looks like this is the final obstacle,” Gu Sheng said.

The Yaochi Saintess nodded. ”We have to be careful. This stone door might conceal an immensely powerful foe.”

The two exchanged a smile, then prepared themselves for battle. They understood that the upcoming confrontation would be decisive.

Just as they were about to push open the stone door, it suddenly swung open on its own! A surge of powerful energy burst forth from inside, followed by a tall figure stepping out. It was a mysterious man clad in black robes, wearing a menacing mask upon his face, his entire being exuding immense power.

”Ha ha ha! So, you two youngsters have finally arrived! I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long!” The black-robed man laughed ominously.

”Who are you? Why are you trying to stop us?” Gu Sheng asked coldly.

”Hmph! You two youngsters are not worthy to know my identity!” the black-robed man snorted dismissively. ”But since you’ve managed to reach this point, allow me to show you true power!” With that, he flashed forward and launched a ferocious attack on Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saintess!

Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saintess had anticipated this. Together, they countered the black-robed man’s assault. Gu Sheng activated Gale Nine Swords and Carefree Ascension Step, his figure moving like the wind around the black-robed man, each sword strike aimed at the man’s vital points.

Meanwhile, the Yaochi Saintess unleashed the Yaochi Holy Realm Cultivation Technique. Vibrant flower petals flew from her hands, neutralizing the black-robed man’s attacks one after another.

The black-robed man grew furious upon witnessing this. ”You two brats dare to defy me! It seems you’re courting death!” He evaded Gu Sheng’s attack in a flash, then struck out a palm toward the Yaochi Saintess! This palm carried immense force, as if it could obliterate everything in its path!

Just as the palm was about to reach the Yaochi Saintess, Gu Sheng suddenly appeared from the side and thrust his sword toward the man’s wrist! The black-robed man was taken by surprise and hastily withdrew his hand to evade. But Gu Sheng’s swordsmanship was peerlessly sharp. A soft ripping sound echoed — the black-robed man’s wrist was pierced by Gu Sheng’s sword! Blood gushed forth profusely!

”Ah!”

The black-robed man let out a pained scream and staggered backward, glaring at Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saintess with fury. ”You brats dare to hurt me! I’ll make you pay the price!”

With that, he flashed forward to launch another violent attack on them! But Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saintess, now familiar with his moves, worked as one to fend off his assault while gradually identifying his weaknesses.

After a fierce battle, Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saintess finally dealt a devastating blow to the black-robed man! The man collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain, utterly defeated.

Both Gu Sheng and the Yaochi Saintess were panting heavily, exhausted from the ordeal.

As they prepared to leave the stone door maze, Gu Sheng suddenly noticed a stone tablet at the center of the maze.
