Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1562: Chapter 804: Sudden Upheaval

His arms twisted at an eerie angle, clearly completely broken, and blood gushed from numerous ruptured wounds, dyeing him into a bloodstained figure.

He tried to struggle, but every tiny movement brought heart-wrenching pain, and he could only watch helplessly as that shadow approached him relentlessly.

Fear, an unprecedented fear gripped him, almost suffocating him.

He never imagined that he, a member of the Ye Family’s direct lineage, leading dozens of Sect Realm powerhouses, would end up like this, defeated by a seemingly ordinary young man in such a manner.

”No... don’t kill me...”

Ye Changling’s voice was hoarse and broken, filled with thick bloody foam.

”I was wrong... I was truly wrong... I beg you... spare my life...”

Gu Sheng stood a few steps away in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly.

Those eyes had no emotional fluctuations, neither the pride of a victor nor the cruelty of a slayer, only an unfathomable indifference.

This indifference made Ye Changling more desperate than any fierce gaze.

”I gave you a chance.”

Gu Sheng spoke, his voice steady yet carrying undeniable coldness.

”You chose the path of death.”

”No! I can compensate! I can give you countless resources! Spiritual Medicine, Cultivation Technique, Divine Weapon! We Ye Family have them all!”

Ye Changling seemed to grasp at the last straw, babbling incoherently.

”As long as you spare me, I can give you anything! I swear I won’t retaliate! Just pretend what happened today never occurred!”

”The things from Ye Family,” Gu Sheng slightly tilted his head, seemingly considering for a moment, then said indifferently.

”Killing you, they are mine all the same.”

Ye Changling’s pupils contracted suddenly, his last hope completely shattered, and immense fear instantly transformed into hysterical venom.

”How dare you kill me! My father is an elder of the Ye Family! A Great Power in the Divine Power Realm! If you kill me, he will definitely find out! No matter where you flee to Heaven and Earth, he will surely hunt you down, extract your soul and refine your spirit, so you’ll never be reborn!

You and everyone associated with you will die without a burial place!”

”Finished?”

Gu Sheng’s tone did not change at all, as if the threats were not directed at him.

He raised his right hand, fingers slightly curved, and an invisible force instantly gripped Ye Changling’s throat, pulling him forcibly from the rock, suspended in mid-air.

Ye Changling’s legs kicked weakly, his broken arms hung limp, his face turning a dark purple due to asphyxia, with eyes full of blood streaks and extreme terror.

”You...”

He desperately tried to utter a final curse, but could only produce gasping hisses.

Gu Sheng’s gaze was icy, the force in his hand ready to be unleashed.

”Gu... Gu Sheng! Spare him!”

From the distance, Zhao Boyang’s urgent yet reverent shout echoed.

Gu Sheng paused slightly but did not release his hold, only turned his head to look at Zhao Boyang and his group stumbling forward.

Zhao Boyang was injured, his face pale, but at this moment his eyes were extremely complex, filled with shock, relief, and the intent to dissuade.

He ran up close, looking at the miserable Ye Changling suspended in mid-air, then at the expressionless Gu Sheng, and bowed.

”Gu Sheng, this person... mustn’t be killed!”

”He just tried to kill me, also wanted to kill you all.”

Gu Sheng stated the facts calmly.

”I know, I know!”

Zhao Boyang quickly responded.

”This scoundrel has malicious intentions and deserves death! But... but he is after all from Ye Family’s direct lineage, his father holds great power in Ye Family, being a head in the Divine Power Realm. If he dies here, Ye Family will certainly rage and spare no effort to investigate.

They have some special means, very likely they will trace it back to you, Gu Sheng. Then you will face the entire Ye Family’s mad revenge, even a Divine Power Realm powerhouse might personally act! For someone like him, inciting such disastrous trouble is really... really not worth it!”

Zhao Boyang’s words were earnest, he sincerely thought of Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng saved his and all his subordinates’ lives, he didn’t want Gu Sheng to fall into an irreparable situation due to a momentary impulse.

He was more aware of Ye Family’s terror than anyone else.

Suspended in air, Ye Changling heard Zhao Boyang’s words, his eyes reignited with a faint glimmer of hope, desperately signaling with his eyes.

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the situation.

Zhao Boyang saw this and slightly breathed a sigh of relief, continuing to persuade.

”Gu Sheng, how about crippling his cultivation, taking his Storage Ring, but leaving him one breath. Though Ye Family might investigate, as long as he is not dead, there will always be room for negotiation. Moreover, through this battle, his Dao Heart is broken, making him a complete waste, more satisfying than killing him...”

”Heh...”

A very light cold laugh escaped from Gu Sheng’s throat, interrupting Zhao Boyang’s speech.

Zhao Boyang’s heart sank sharply.

Gu Sheng turned back, looked at Ye Changling, once again consumed by fear due to that cold laugh, and slowly spoke.

”If I were afraid of Ye Family’s revenge, I wouldn’t have acted from the start.”

As the words fell, he suddenly clenched his fingers!

A crisp yet eerily bone-breaking sound echoed.

Ye Changling’s body in midair twitched violently, his wide eyes, once filled with vigor, fear, venom, instantly froze, then completely dimmed down.

His head limply tilted to one side, breath abruptly ceased.

Gu Sheng casually flicked, throwing Ye Changling’s corpse onto the ground.

With a thud, the body dropped onto the earth, kicking up some dust.

The scene was silent.

Zhao Boyang and his subordinates behind him, all froze in place, eyes wide open, staring at the lifeless body of what was once Ye Family’s direct lineage disciple now devoid of life on the ground.
