Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1576: Chapter 811: The Quantity Is Enough

The one in the lead was unusually tall and burly, close to ten feet, standing like a pillar, his whole body knotted with muscle, brimming with explosive power.

He wore a black leather armor tanned from the hide of some unknown Demon Beast, his bare arms covered in ferocious scars.

A square face, thick brows and big eyes, his gaze as vicious as a tiger’s, his aura wild and domineering—he had clearly stepped into the late stage of the Heavenly Martial Realm!

It was none other than the Head Hunting Gang’s Gang Leader—Tie Kuangtu!

On the left was a tall, thin figure in a grey long robe washed so many times it had turned white. His features were gaunt, his three wisps of long beard dangling, his eyes sharp like a hawk’s, emanating a coldness born of meticulous scheming.

He was toying with an ancient-looking Turtle Shell Compass in his hand, his aura condensed and heavy, at the Peak of the mid Heavenly Martial Realm.

The Array Breaking Gang’s Gang Leader—Old Ghost Zhen!

On the right was a middle‑aged man of medium build and ordinary looks, dressed in a simple blue close‑fitting outfit. His aura was relatively restrained, yet deep in his eyes flashed cunning and greedy light.

He was the Alliance Hierarch of another faction, the ”Black Water Alliance”—Shui Wuhen, with mid Heavenly Martial Realm cultivation.

Their gazes burned, locked death‑tight on the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron above Gu Sheng’s head that had yet to be withdrawn!

The profound runes flowing over the cauldron’s body, the terrifying aura that could suppress the heavens, and that horrifying scene of it just now devouring thousands of residual souls like a whale, all stirred up towering waves in their hearts!

Greed! Unrestrainable greed instantly drowned out the three of their reason!

”What a fine treasure!”

Tie Kuangtu licked his lips, his voice like muffled thunder, his eyes carrying utterly undisguised possessiveness.

”To so easily suppress and refine those Ancient Martial Artist’s Remnant Souls! A divine item of this level, left in your hands, is simply being wasted!”

Old Ghost Zhen stroked his beard, cutting in with a sinister, chilling tone.

”Indeed. Though I cannot see through your cultivation, you should understand the principle that ’a man’s wealth is his own crime.’ This cauldron is so miraculously effective against residual souls, it is crucial for us in exploring the Ancient City ruins. Left in your hands, it is but a pearl covered in dust. Why not... hand it over to us?”

Though his words sounded polite, the threat in his tone was self‑evident.

Shui Wuhen said nothing, but the greed and restless eagerness in his eyes surpassed the other two.

He was already calculating how to split the spoils.

As the three spoke, three powerful Heavenly Martial Realm auras were unleashed without the slightest restraint, pressing down savagely toward Gu Sheng and Gu Yuan!

Their auras fused, forming an even stronger domain of oppressive might, attempting to completely crush the other side in momentum!

Gu Yuan only felt her breath choke, as if an invisible boulder were pressing against her chest. Her face instantly turned pale, and her body began trembling uncontrollably.

The combined pressure of three Heavenly Martial Realm experts, to her, was like the will of heaven itself!

Gu Sheng, however, still stood where he was, his figure straight as a pine. That terrifying pressure sufficient to make Sect Realm Martial Artists kneel fell upon him like Qing Feng brushing over a hillside, unable to shake him in the slightest.

He slowly raised his head, his calm gaze sweeping over the three before him. In his eyes, they were as indifferent as three ants.

”Not for sale.”

Gu Sheng’s voice was flat and unruffled, yet it entered all three men’s ears with perfect clarity.

”Leave now, and I can spare your lives.”

At those words, Tie Kuangtu and the other two were first stunned, then absurdity and fury surfaced on their faces at the same time!

”Hahaha!”

Tie Kuangtu laughed in rage, his voice shaking the wilderness.

”Spare our lives? Brat, have you been scared stupid by those residual souls? With just you? And you dare spew such arrogant nonsense!”

Old Ghost Zhen’s eyes turned icy cold.

”It seems you won’t drink the wine offered in good will, and insist on drinking the wine of punishment! You think that just by relying on this cauldron you can contend against the three of us? How naive!”

Shui Wuhen also let out a disdainful snort.

”Why waste words on him! Make a move! Seize the Treasure Cauldron, then slowly torment this brat! Let him learn how high the heavens and how thick the earth really are!”

In their eyes, Gu Sheng’s ”arrogant” response was precisely a sign of guilty conscience!

If he truly had the strength to crush them, why bother talking?

He would have simply struck already! This was clearly a show of outward bravado masking inner weakness, trying to scare them off with words!

The three exchanged a glance, murder flaring in their eyes! Without any further hesitation!

Tie Kuangtu was the first to attack; with a furious roar, the ground exploded!

His entire body turned into a rampaging black Shadow, his fist as big as a cauldron whistling with a shriek that tore the air, driving straight at Gu Sheng’s face!

Where the fist wind passed, even space itself twisted!

Old Ghost Zhen formed seals with both hands, and that Turtle Shell Compass instantly floated up, radiating a blinding light!

Strands of profound Array Patterns surfaced out of thin air, condensing into a gigantic web of energy that descended toward Gu Sheng’s head!

Runes flowed across the surface of the light net, carrying immense binding and suppressive force!

Shui Wuhen’s figure flickered, vanishing from where he stood. When he appeared again, he had already circled to Gu Sheng’s flank and rear, a short sword laced with ghostly blue cold light silently stabbing for Gu Sheng’s back heart!

The angle was viciously tricky, the strike cruel to the extreme!

Three Heavenly Martial Realm experts, and their first move was a thunderous killing strike!

Their coordination was seamless, sealing off all space Gu Sheng could use to dodge! Clearly they intended a single, lethal blow—seize the cauldron and erase all witnesses!

”Brat! I’ll give you one last chance!”

The Head Hunting Gang’s Gang Leader Tie Kuangtu’s voice boomed like a great bell, the muscles on his dark face bulging, his eyes vicious like a tiger about to devour its prey.

”Hand over that cauldron! The three of us can spare you one path of survival, and allow you to leave with that little girl! Otherwise... hmph!”

His fist as big as a cauldron cracked his knuckles with a series of popping sounds, violent True Qi on his skin churning into visible vortices.

Old Ghost Zhen added in a sinister tone, the light on the Turtle Shell Compass in his hand pulsing.

”This cauldron has wondrous effects on residual souls; leaving it with you is a true waste. Hand it over—this will be best for everyone.”
