Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"What?!"

This punch was peerlessly fierce and wildly brutal, like a shower of rocks piercing the sky or waves crashing against the shore, akin to a massive mountain being horizontally thrust forward. The two elders from the Red Flame Demon Sect, who were skilled in internal gangqi, suddenly had their faces drastically change.

Boom!

The Golden Dragon Illusion struck, and the Great Red Demon Saber immediately trembled, followed by countless cracks appearing densely over its blade.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the green-eyed, gaunt elder let out a roaring howl. An endless surge of black energy gushed out from within him and flowed into the Great Red Demon Saber above his head, confronting the Golden Dragon Illusion unleashed by Gu Chen.

Whoosh!

At this point, Gu Chen's figure flashed, and he directly advanced towards their proximity.

"Bold!"

Their pupils dilated as they simultaneously struck out a palm towards Gu Chen.

Clang!

Gu Chen maintained the Golden Bell Shield around his body. The bell vibrated, sending golden ripples spreading through the void, rushing towards the two men.

"Awooo—"

A ghastly and mournful howl emerged. At this moment, the elder who had a physique like a small giant, had his pupils overtaken by black energy, and the monstrous power of a formidable demon was released without restraint. His palm strike layered upon this, causing the golden ripples to dissipate into nothingness upon touching his hand.

Not only that, his momentum unstoppable, his palm struck the bell on Gu Chen's body.

Clang!

Like metal clashing against metal, a deafening buzzing sound rose again. Although the terrifying force and energy were blocked by the Golden Bell, the bell was after all condensed from Gu Chen's internal energy. Gu Chen felt a tumultuous surge within him, and unconsciously, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He was wounded!

Gu Chen was a bit surprised. He wiped away the blood trickling from his mouth and his eyes grew increasingly icy.

"Roar!"

In that moment, the sound of a tiger's roar rose, with the White Tiger Illusion behind Gu Chen roaring to the heavens, like a sacred spirit descending to earth!

"Kill!"

Gu Chen roared mightily, his voice so thunderous it startled the enemy's souls, inducing dizziness and palpitations in their minds once again.

They saw the White Tiger Illusion behind Gu Chen roaring, its roars transforming into wave after wave of sonic booms, creating ripples in the air that surged towards the enemy.

"Ha!"

The two elders also roared, deploying two Superior Martial Skills to finally dissipate Gu Chen's attack into nothingness.

"How can a mere Vajra Stage martial artist be so troublesome, that even the two of us together can't take him down?!"

The wounded elder felt a surge of shock, never having seen such a formidable Vajra Stage martial artist. If it weren't for irrefutable evidence, he would suspect that Gu Chen had reached the physical limit, the indestructible state of the Vajra!

Otherwise, how could they have fought him to such an extent?

The elder belonging to the Red Flame Demon Sect, merged with a formidable demon, said in a grim tone, "This kid has cultivated a Superior Martial Skill for protection, that's why he is so difficult to handle. Otherwise, I alone could beat him to a pulp!"

"What is this technique that it's so mystical?" Both of them had a deep sense of doubt in their minds.

Swoosh!

Just then, with a thought from Gu Chen, the Golden Dragon Illusion that had been confronting the Great Red Demon Saber in midair flickered and returned to Gu Chen's side.

The next moment, Gu Chen focused his energy. Standing in place, his rolling blood qi poured out of his body, nearly turning the Golden Bell Shield a reddish-gold color.

"Such a mighty physical force, how could this kid's bodily strength be so terrifying?!" Feeling the pressure from Gu Chen's physique, both of them narrowed their eyes instantly.

"Ao!"

The sound of a dragon's chant resonated through heaven and earth. Standing in place, Gu Chen was surrounded by a brilliant golden light. As he swung his fists while standing still, successive dragon-shaped bursts of energy shot out from his fists, and the Golden Dragon Illusion circled around him non-stop.

This was the mystical aspect borne when the Golden Bell Shield, accompanied by the Dragon's Chant and Tiger's Roar, had reached perfection!

Wave after wave of golden dragon-shaped energy surged forward, tearing through the air. The enemy's hearts tightened as they maneuvered the Great Red Demon Saber to fly across the sky, slicing through the air to collide with the dragon-shaped bursts of energy from Gu Chen.

Following that, the two men advanced, charging at Gu Chen for close combat. They engaged in fierce battle, exchanging over a dozen moves in the blink of an eye.

The elder merged with the formidable demon had strength that was just too horrifying. Although he wasn't as powerful as an external gangqi fighter, the gap was not major. His attacks caused the greatest damage to Gu Chen, but fortunately, with the protection of the Golden Bell Shield, Gu Chen could persist till now undefeated.

Boom!

As they continued to exchange blows, the ground trembled incessantly, with countless cracks extending in all directions, while the surging airwaves swept all the nearby soil, stones, and trees upward into the sky.

This was a scene of terror!

Dust filled the sky, stones and broken wood scattered in the wild gusts, gathering together and being hurled in all directions.

"Pure Yang Wuji Gong!"

At this moment, Gu Chen shouted, driving his internal energy to its peak as he launched a scorching palm towards his opponent.

"Demon Finger!"

The two elders also roared, their fingers pitch-black as they struck towards Gu Chen's palm.

Bang!

All three were jolted, flying backwards.

Whether it was Gu Chen or the two elders of Red Flame Demon Sect, they were fiercely committed to the fight at this point. Gu Chen had only one thought, and that was to slay both of them on the spot.

Naturally, the opponents felt the same way.

Ssss!

A sharp sword intent emerged out of nowhere, Gu Chen used Condensing Pulse Sword Wave, lightly tapping with his ten fingers like strumming a lute, sending out bursts of sword qi.

"Vacuity Palm!"

The two elders struck out with their palms, compressing the air into a mass, entwined with rolling black qi, targeting the sword qi released by Gu Chen.

Boom!

Dust filled the sky and the earth shook once more, with the ground within a radius of several meters sinking several feet deeper.

"Roar!"

At that moment, the sound of a tiger's roar echoed, and the White Tiger Illusion behind Gu Chen instantly sprang into action, pouncing toward the front like a tiger descending a mountain.

"Great Red Demon Saber, strike for me!"

This was a strike with all their might, and the battle had now lasted till past midnight. Even Gu Chen felt a wave of fatigue.

Once more, the ground shook and the opponents flew backward into the distance. Gu Chen's mouth was dripping with blood, but he paid no attention to it, his sharp eyes firmly fixed on the two opponents.

"We can't take him down!" The two felt a chill in their hearts, not expecting that their combined forces could only manage a draw against Gu Chen.

"Don't panic, I still have a trick up my sleeve!"

The expression of the elder whose pupils were occupied by black qi was gloomy as he drew a large clawed hand across his waist and pulled out a black vial.

"You actually brought this out?" The other elder was somewhat surprised.

"Go!"

With a pop, the stopper was removed and from the black vial, several black shadows shot into the sky—they were demons and ghosts!

And among them, there was even an existence of a calamity-level demon!

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen's eyebrows knit together, also feeling a surge of pressure.

"This time, let's see how you're going to survive!" The two inner Gangqi martial artists from the Red Flame Demon Sect watched Gu Chen with sinister eyes.

This was the Red Flame Demon Sect's final trump card against Gu Chen. They had made ample preparations to kill him, a setup they believed to be foolproof.

With the two of them plus these demons and ghosts, even an outer Gangqi martial artist could be a match for a challenge.

This was the killing formation they had prepared just for Gu Chen!

Of course, it was also because the two elders from the Red Flame Demon Sect had never anticipated Gu Chen to be able to fight them to this extent.

It was just a pity that they knew nothing of Gu Chen's special abilities.

At this moment, a glimmer of joy appeared in Gu Chen's eyes. He turned his head and said to the two elders with a light smile, "Thank you!"

Hearing this, the two elders were immediately stunned, not comprehending the meaning behind Gu Chen's words.

"You brat, on the brink of death—is your brain broken?" The elder possessed by the demon sneered.

Gu Chen smiled faintly without responding, and in the next moment, those demons and ghosts had already charged close to him.

Especially the calamity-level demon, with its massive build akin to a ferocious tiger, exuding immense intimidation.

However, Gu Chen did not confront it head-on. Instead, his figure flashed and, with a dragon's roar accompanying it, he threw a punch and a dragon-shaped energy immediately surged out.

Thud!

In just an instant, four ghastly demons were slain by Gu Chen. His figure flashed again as he smoothly caught the soul crystals in his hand, grasping them firmly in his palm.

The next moment, as the calamity-level demon closed in, Gu Chen's mind stirred, and the three soul crystals in his palm were absorbed directly, converted into cultivation points.

His movements were extremely discreet, and the two Red Flame Demon Sect elders only saw Gu Chen putting away the soul crystals, failing to notice their disappearance.

Then, the panel quietly appeared in Gu Chen's field of vision. With a thought, he saw seventy points of cultivation points that had just appeared on the panel vanish instantly. They were converted into a hefty seventy years of inner breath cultivation, manifesting in his body.

Boom!

At this moment, the aura around Gu Chen surged tremendously, and his realm leaped directly from the middle phase of the Vajra Stage to the late phase of the Vajra Stage!

Seeing this, the two elders from the Red Flame Demon Sect were shocked, their faces filled with astonishment as they exclaimed, "How is this possible... He's actually breaking through right in the midst of battle?!"

Boom!

Gu Chen let out a long roar that echoed in all directions. Seizing the moment when the two were in a daze, he approached them quickly, with his terrifying internal strength of five hundred and eighty years concentrated in his fist, punching out ferociously.

"Thud!"

The elder not possessed by the demon was struck in the chest by Gu Chen's punch and immediately spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood. Even with Gangqi protecting him, the flesh near his chest was torn and mangled, nearly being punctured through the heart by Gu Chen's punch.

"How is your strength possibly..." The elder was scared out of his wits, feeling as though Gu Chen had become a different person. After slaying the demons, how could his cultivation have broken through?

But Gu Chen gave him no chance. The Golden Bell Shield emerged around him to deflect the attacks of the calamity-level demon and the other inner Gangqi elder, while Gu Chen, undistracted, threw one punch after another, dead set on not stopping until the elder was dead.

Thud!

Gu Chen unleashed a flurry of punches, each carrying a tremendous force of three hundred thousand jin and the terrifying five hundred and eighty years of inner breath. After a few exchanges, the elder could no longer withstand and left himself wide open, allowing Gu Chen to punch through his chest, killing him.

"No—"

The elder merged with the demon let out a great roar, disbelief evident in his eyes.

Today, the full might of the Superior Martial Skill, Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl Golden Bell Shield, was displayed without a doubt. Without this martial skill, Gu Chen would have died long ago, and his corpse would probably have been devoured by the demons.

"Now, you go down and keep him company!"

At this moment, Gu Chen's expression was cold and stern. His entire body shone brilliantly with golden light, dazzlingly bright, dyeing his entire form in a radiant gold. His hair fluttered in the wind, exuding an incomparable martial grace as if a war god from the heavens had descended to the mortal realm.

"Roar!"

With an earth-shaking roar that could deafen ears, Gu Chen channeled his strength to its pinnacle. The sky thundered with the sound of wind and thunder as if a relentless downpour was imminent.

"Die!"

Suddenly, Gu Chen punched out, and behind him, the Dragon and Tiger Illusions entwined and charged out following his fist, ferociously pouncing forward.

Thud!

A dazzling light flashed momentarily between heaven and earth, like a peal of thunder tearing through the dark night, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

In just a brief encounter, the elder merged with the calamity-level demon was blown apart by Gu Chen's punch, bursting into a cloud of blood mist!
