Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1157: Chapter 602: Hurry and Save Us_2

At the brink of despair, Qiankun Venerate King saw the exit leading outside the Immortal Temple, and a desire for survival ignited in his heart.

”Ah!” He let out a loud roar, unleashing a punch with all his strength, imbued with his entire power.

Gu Sheng deftly sidestepped to avoid it. Taking advantage of the gap, Qiankun Venerate King swiftly took out a black wooden plaque from the Void Ring.

He held the plaque high, and a dark blue flame emerged, quickly spreading to envelop the entire plaque.

As the flame burned, the plaque transformed into a gigantic and ugly human face. The face appeared lifelike, emitting an extremely terrifying suppressive aura that caused the void to collapse and shatter wherever it went.

Feeling the powerful aura, Gu Sheng knew this item wasn’t simple and dared not take it head-on. He quickly used a movement technique to dodge. Qiankun Venerate King took this opportunity to flee towards the exit of the Immortal Temple without looking back.

Upon escaping the Immortal Temple, Qiankun Venerate King collapsed to the ground, his body riddled with injuries, blood staining his black robe. Ignoring this, he hurriedly took out a small Jade Bottle from his bosom and swallowed several Spirit Pills all at once.

There were only about ten Spirit Pills in total, each worth a fortune. Consuming four at once, even he, wealthy as he was, couldn’t help but feel a bit of pain.

The strong energy of the Spirit Pills exploded within him, rapidly repairing his damaged body. The two deep wounds on his abdomen, down to the bones, were visibly healing at an astonishing speed.

Qiankun Venerate King possessed one of the top three Sacred Bodies in the Purple Spirit Realm, and his physical recovery abilities far surpassed ordinary people. In less than half an hour, the two most severe wounds had nearly healed, leaving only faint scars.

Qiankun Venerate King stood up, ”Gu Sheng didn’t chase after me. Should I go back? The Life and Death Sword is a top-tier Magic Artifact bestowed by my father. If he seizes it, I won’t only lose face, but I’ll certainly face severe punishment from him. No, I absolutely can’t let this happen!”

Qiankun Venerate King tried to calm himself down, carefully pondering a way to deal with Gu Sheng.

He understood that there was a gap in power between him and Gu Sheng, but it wasn’t insurmountable.

As long as he could retrieve the Life and Death Sword and avoid close combat with Gu Sheng, while fully leveraging his Martial Technique advantage, he was confident of defeating Gu Sheng.

”Hmph, Gu Sheng is merely stronger in physical strength. As the Young Master of the Supreme Immortal Sect, the Martial Techniques I cultivate are the best of the Supreme Immortal Sect.

Any Martial Technique from the Supreme Immortal Sect could easily crush Xinghong Spirit Domain’s so-called best Martial Techniques. That’s my greatest advantage!” Thinking of this, Qiankun Venerate King showed a confident smile.

Qiankun Venerate King remembered the talented disciples of the Six Great Holy Lands. He usually looked down on the cultivators of Xinghong Spirit Domain, considering them unworthy. But now the situation was different, having one more ally meant a better chance of winning.

”Especially Kunpeng Taoist of Qinghe Holy Land, I initially thought he was really weak, being defeated by Tianxuan Divine Girl in just a few moves and falling into the Blood River.

Unexpectedly, when I clashed with Gu Sheng, he appeared again, seemingly without serious injury.

Hmph, this treacherous person must have deliberately lost to Tianxuan Divine Girl, avoiding offending her while preserving his strength.

When I return, I must make him the vanguard, or else I’ll kill him first!” The more Qiankun Venerate King thought about it, the angrier he became, unconsciously clenching his fists.

Qiankun Venerate King didn’t know that Kunpeng Taoist and other talented disciples of the Holy Land were facing an unprecedented calamity.

Gu Sheng didn’t chase after him for a different plan, intending to take this opportunity to teach those arrogant people of the Holy Land a lesson.

Kunpeng Taoist, being a nemesis, was naturally a primary target for pursuit.

Qiankun Venerate King found a safe and hidden place to mend his bodily injuries and restore his spent Spiritual Power.

After a while, Qiankun Venerate King opened his eyes, feeling that his injuries had mostly healed and his Spiritual Power had largely recovered.

After exiting his cultivation state, the first thing he did was sense the connection with the Life and Death Sword. Fortunately, the connection with the Life and Death Sword still existed. This meant that Gu Sheng hadn’t made a move on the sword yet, or he had made a move but failed.

”Gu Sheng, you wait, I’ll come back to settle accounts with you!” Qiankun Venerate King stood up, an overwhelming Demonic Qi rising from his body, appearing particularly sinister and terrifying. He strode towards the direction of the Immortal Temple.

As Qiankun Venerate King stepped into the Immortal Temple again, violent turbulent currents rushed toward him, and talented disciples from other Holy Lands were frantically fleeing.

”Stop right there!” Seeing Gu Sheng chasing after the allies he intended to recruit, Qiankun Venerate King was filled with rage. His voice echoed in the starry river, full of anger and authority.

”Venerate King, help us!” Those talented disciples of the Holy Land saw Qiankun Venerate King’s return and desperately ran towards him.

”You still dare to come back.” Gu Sheng paused in his pursuit, speaking coldly.

While Qiankun Venerate King was gone, Gu Sheng intended to resolve other Holy Land disciples in one fell swoop.

Each swing of the Magic Artifact in Gu Sheng’s hand brought a storm of blood and wind.

Those disciples, usually pampered and high above in the Holy Lands, were helpless, only able to flee desperately in all directions by instinct.

In a short time, more than ten Holy Land disciples perished at his hands. If Gu Sheng’s mind weren’t still on Kunpeng Taoist and Murong Qingcheng, two more important targets, this slaughter would have been even more brutal, and the casualties of the Six Great Holy Lands would have been even more astonishing.

Kunpeng Taoist, with Murong Qingcheng and Refining Dragon Saintess, struggled through the chaotic situation.

The three worked together with some semblance of coordination, looking out for one another as they fled.

Kunpeng Taoist, with profound cultivation, had Spiritual Power surging through him, enduring most of Gu Sheng’s attacks.

Murong Qingcheng assisted from the side, quickly forming seals with her hands, shooting beams of Spiritual Power from her fingertips to alleviate the pressure on Kunpeng Taoist.

Not to be outdone, Refining Dragon Saintess tightly held the top-tier Magical Treasure ”Eternal Buddha Robe” in her hands. This treasure emitted a gentle Buddha Light, releasing strong defensive power at critical moments, blocking Gu Sheng’s assaults.

Nevertheless, the three were forced into retreat, devoid of the prestige they once held.

Once the most talented prodigy of the Seven Great Sacred Lands, along with two revered Holy Daughters of the Holy Lands, now they were fleeing desperately on the Holy Road.

Finally, led by Kunpeng Taoist, the three raggedly escaped to Qiankun Venerate King’s side.

As Qiankun Venerate King returned to the Immortal Temple, his gaze swept over the disheveled trio, letting out a sneer, and casually waving his sleeve.

The Life and Death Sword, which was previously locked in a stalemate with the ”Ancient Reincarnation Bell,” disengaged from the battlefield and flew straight back into Qiankun Venerate King’s hand.

The whole process was swift and neat, while Gu Sheng stood not far away, quietly watching the spectacle, surprisingly not intervening.

Upon seeing Qiankun Venerate King’s escape with that mysterious Magical Treasure, Gu Sheng was greatly startled.

Someone like Qiankun Venerate King, a super genius from the Upper Realm, bore an unimaginable depth of resources. Anything he casually took out could pose a deadly threat to him.

Although Gu Sheng considered himself capable of suppressing Qiankun Venerate King, he dared not act rashly, growing increasingly cautious in his actions.

Tianxuan Divine Girl rode a brilliant beam of Spiritual Power, arriving steadily beside Gu Sheng.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with Gu Sheng, she faced Qiankun Venerate King and the talented disciples from the Six Great Holy Lands.

Gongsun Yue and others also intended to join them, but Gu Sheng, noticing their intentions, subtly gestured to them to hold back.

In Gu Sheng’s view, someone of Qiankun Venerate King’s caliber, being ”Extraordinary to Saint” in strength, meant that in the entire battlefield, only he and Tianxuan Divine Girl had the confidence to contend with him.

As for Gongsun Yue and others, their prowess was much inferior to Qiankun Venerate King. When the power gap is significant, numerical superiority is futile.

In Gu Sheng’s eyes, aside from Qiankun Venerate King and Kunpeng Taoist, the other disciples from the Six Great Holy Lands, even if he stood still, would struggle to inflict any substantial harm on him. That’s the absolute confidence that formidable strength bestowed upon Gu Sheng.

”Do you think he still has a trump card capable of threatening my life?”

Gu Sheng secretly circulated Spiritual Power, using its fluctuation to communicate his inquiry to Tianxuan Divine Girl.

Eager to understand Qiankun Venerate King’s capabilities better, so as to handle any possible developments more effectively.

Tianxuan Divine Girl pondered for a moment, then also used Spiritual Power to respond: ”Given his status and background, it’s not surprising that he has more trump cards.
