Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

On the other side, Gu Chen had just emerged from the cave and changed into a new set of clothes when he furrowed his brows and looked toward the not-distant place.

Now, having undergone three blood exchanges, his perceptive abilities had increased dramatically. He was so acutely sensitive that as Luo Ang and his group approached, they were immediately detected by Gu Chen.

"Five masters, and three of them have exchanged blood five times—they really think highly of me," Gu Chen shook his head and chuckled to himself after sensing the strength of the newcomers.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A series of sounds tore through the air as Luo Ang and the others moved with great speed, arriving close to Gu Chen.

"Is it really you?!" Upon seeing Gu Chen, Luo Ang and his group were taken aback.

But then, a grim smile crept onto their lips, as if they were looking at prey trapped in a cage.

"You vile creature, today you will not escape this disaster; you are certainly going to die!" Luo Ang was the first to speak, pointing at Gu Chen with confidence, repeatedly calling him a vile creature.

"Let's go, attack together, and don't give this vile creature any chance!" Dai Tong from the Heavenly Saber Sect also said coldly.

"Is it you guys?"

At this moment, Gu Chen's gaze shifted slightly as his deep eyes recognized Qiu Tianhua and Wan Tinggang among the group.

Now that Yan State was about to fall, Qiu Tianhua and Wan Tinggang had nothing to hide and revealed their true faces.

"Gu Chen, did you ever think the day would come when you'd be hunted down for killing the disciples of the White Tiger Clan?"

"Whom the heavens wish to destroy, they first make mad. Gu Chen, you are young and arrogant, and today is the day you will pay your debts!" Qiu Tianhua and Wan Tinggang spoke in turn.

Gu Chen remained calm and did not respond, instead, turning his gaze to the last figure, Wuying.

He could sense that among all present, this person's strength was subtly surpassing the others.

Looking at Wuying, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Chen's eyes, "And who might you be?"

"The dead needn't know so much," Wuying responded with a slight shake of his head upon hearing the question.

Gu Chen said, "Since you've already labeled me as a dead man, can't you at least satisfy a dying man's last wish?"

At this point, Luo Ang took a step forward and said coldly, "Vile creature, don't even think about wheedling your way out. Today, you go to hell thoroughly confused!"

Having said that, Luo Ang drew out a silver lance, his Gangqi surged within his body, and he poured all of it into the weapon.

Luo Ang was very cautious. He knew of Gu Chen's impressive physical might, comparable to a master even before reaching that title, and now after another blood exchange, Gu Chen was bound to be even more formidable.

Therefore, he chose to use a divine weapon to combat from a distance.

Seeing the familiar silver lance, Gu Chen's face turned cold, and he spoke in a chilling tone, "So it's you!"

"Vile creature, go die!"

The next moment, Luo Ang shouted, and the silver lance turned into a dazzling beam of silver light, leaving a trail in the void as it shot violently toward Gu Chen.

Qiu Tianhua and Wan Tinggang watched this scene intently, eager to see what level of strength Gu Chen, having achieved the master rank, possessed.

At that instant, Gu Chen stood still, not moving an inch. He simply reached out a hand and grasped at the piercing silver light.

"Arrogant!"

Luo Ang sneered coldly. Even a master could not hope to catch a divine weapon's strike with his bare hands, given the special materials divine weapons were made from that mere flesh and blood could not withstand.

Clang!

But the next moment, a deep booming sound like a large bell's tolling reverberated, and Luo Ang and the others were left agape. Gu Chen, with just one hand, had firmly caught the silver lance in his grip.

"Catching a divine weapon with his bare hands?!" They could not help but show utter shock in their eyes.

They could catch a strike from a low-grade divine weapon, but if a master of the same level infused their Gangqi into it, the outcome would be uncertain.

Furthermore, Gu Chen seemed to do it with ease.

Of course, Gu Chen found it easy because he used his left hand. Although he had undergone three blood exchanges, and his Great Sun Divine Gang had been greatly enhanced, he still could not use a superior-grade divine weapon.

Yet even so, the integration of a superior-grade divine weapon with Gu Chen's left hand significantly strengthened it. It wasn't just a low-grade divine weapon; even a mid-grade divine weapon's strike could be caught by Gu Chen, though other parts of his body would explode on impact.

"How weak…" Gu Chen frowned slightly, feeling that even if he had used his right hand, he could have caught the strike unharmed.

"Since you're so kind to give me a divine weapon, then I'll accept it," Gu Chen said with a faint smile, as the Great Sun Divine Gang surged within him. A hot, pale golden Gangqi appeared, and the temperature of the air immediately began to rise.

It was a heavy snow day with extremely low temperatures, but at that moment, the air warmed up instantaneously as the Great Sun Divine Gang appeared, as if moving from the dead of winter to the height of summer, melting the feather-like heavy snow on the spot.

"What kind of strange Gangqi is this, that it can subtly influence the heavens?!" Seeing the prowess of the Great Sun Divine Gang, Qiu Tianhua and others' expressions immediately turned serious.

Hum!

The searing heat of the Great Sun Divine Gang made the silver lance tremble violently, but for Gu Chen, suppressing a low-grade divine weapon was not a difficult task. Streams of the Great Sun Divine Gang wrapped around the silver lance, binding it with golden threads.

"Give it back to me!"

Luo Ang's expression changed at the sight, for the divine weapon was costly for the Sunset Sword Sect and the Heavenly Saber Sect, and now Gu Chen had subdued it in an instant.

"Let's attack together, kill him straight away, don't give him any chances!" Dai Tong said gravely, noticing Gu Chen's extraordinary strength and growing wary.

There was no need for pretense; Luo Ang was already impatient. Going all out from the start, he drew his sword from his waist. A thick sword Gangqi aimed at Gu Chen and sliced down.

"Sunset Sword Sect!"

In that instant, Gu Chen's expression turned cold. Having been in this world for over a year, he was no longer ignorant. He had a certain understanding of the martial arts techniques of various sects and was able to recognize the origin of this Superior Martial Skill as Luo Ang made his move.

"Not bad at identifying things, vile creature!"

Recognized by Gu Chen, Luo Ang didn't feel the slightest fear; after all, he believed that with five masters joining forces, Gu Chen was bound to die.

"When I return to Shen Zhou, Sunset Sword Sect will be removed from the martial world!" Gu Chen said coldly.

"You won't have that chance!"

Dai Tong from the Heavenly Saber Sect roared. Using Superior Martial Skills from his sect, his bright long saber shone with a chilly gleam. The saber beam was several yards long and swept down toward Gu Chen like a hurricane.

Slice!

At that moment, a blood shadow flashed through the air. Wuying, wielding his Bloodthirsty God Claw, attacked Gu Chen just like Luo Ang and Dai Tong.

"It turns out it's you!"

Now that Gu Chen knew where this group of enemies came from, he had no more hesitation.

"Today, I'll kill you all!"

Gu Chen let out a long howl, and as his words fell, a rumbling sound rolled out, and boundless, fiery Gangqi swept across the entire land!
