Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

As soon as Gu Chen appeared, he felt a sharp pain in his flesh, as wave after wave of terrifying murderous intent locked onto him. Even though Gu Chen had cultivated an indestructible golden body, he still felt a bone-chilling coldness, and his spine turned icy.

Now, with Gu Chen's strength, apart from martial arts grandmasters, no one else could induce such a strong sense of crisis in him.

The Da Guangming Sect, the Qiu family, and the White Tiger Clan, as well as that old Taoist from Xuantian Sect, four grandmasters gazed icily, radiating bone-piercing coldness, their stares fixed unwaveringly on Gu Chen.

"Gu Chen, you killed my disciple. Today, I'll make sure that you have nowhere to bury your corpse!"

The brawny man from the White Tiger Clan let out a raging roar, like a white tiger's mountain-shaking cry, with a thunderous boom echoing throughout the void.

Gu Chen's body trembled, and his vision darkened as blood began to flow from his seven orifices, the horrible sound nearly piercing his eardrums.

The injuries that had been suppressed in the final battle relapsed at this moment, and Gu Chen felt uncontrollable trickles of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Presumptuous!"

Seeing Gu Chen injured, Wang Jiuzhi's eyes suddenly darkened. He took a step forward, and the ground shook as if mountains were quivering. The terrifying might of the fully realized Hundred Orifices Stage was unleashed.

Although he was not very tall, at that moment, he seemed like an incredibly towering mountain, emitting an astonishing pressure that made everyone's complexion change, leaving them gasping for air.

The cold-eyed brawny man from the White Tiger Clan said, "Wang Jiuzhi, you can't stop us today. Do you think it's still the past? Times have changed, and with the seven of us joining forces, even if you are at the pinnacle of the Hundred Orifices Stage, we may not be able to do anything to you, but can we not deal with that little beast?"

The old Taoist from Xuantian Sect handed over the dying Ning Tian to his disciple, and with towering rage, he said coldly, "Lord Wang, Gu Chen's actions are ruthless and merciless, completely lacking any trace of leniency. Such a person, no different from the devil's path, if we don't get a resolution today, we will certainly not let this go!"

With this statement, his intention was clear, if today Wang Jiuzhi did not hand over Gu Chen, the seven major forces would issue a command, and the entire Yan State martial world would be thrown into turmoil.

The martial arts grandmaster from the Qiu family, a middle-aged man who was the uncle of Qiu Zhen and Qiu Li, now spoke even more sternly, "Wang Jiuzhi, are you looking for a war with us?!"

This blunt, unmasked threat immediately darkened Wang Jiuzhi's expression.

With no Emperor of Da Xia to stabilize the world, the disappearance of the Jing Tian Department's chief commander and the Mingjing Department's Tower Supervisor, leaving only one Tower Supervisor from Qintian Monitor, indeed made it hard to suppress the heroes of the world.

If it had been before, even if Gu Chen had killed their disciples, these people would never dare to do such a thing.

This situation also revealed that the might of Da Xia was indeed not as formidable as in the past and could no longer inspire fear in the hearts of the people.

"Are you threatening me?" Wang Jiuzhi said with a cold face.

"Even if it is, what can you do!" The Qiu family's middle-aged man met Wang Jiuzhi's gaze without yielding.

At this moment, the martial arts grandmaster from the Da Guangming Sect also said gravely, "Lord Wang, Gu Chen's actions are too excessive. His ruthless and heartless approach, treating human lives as nothing, does he still have any respect for the law? Today, if we don't kill Gu Chen, justice cannot be served!"

"Wang Jiuzhi, hand him over!"

The martial arts grandmaster from the Feixue Sword Sect also stepped forward at this moment, having heard that Ling Fei had burned his blood essence and eroded his life source to escape, which infuriated him immensely.

"Hand him over!" The martial arts grandmaster from the Breaking Wave Clan also stood up.

At this moment, six masters from the seven top-tier forces of Yan State had stood up, pressuring Wang Jiuzhi to hand over Gu Chen.

In the past, this would have been unthinkable; the surrounding martial artists, upon seeing this, were greatly shocked and quickly retreated.

The intelligence agents from Diancang Pavilion were also recording this event, watching the unfolding situation with unwavering attention.

It had to be said, anyone who learned of this news inwardly marveled at the daring of Gu Chen for offending so many powers at the same time.

And his methods were excessively harsh; it was said that Qiu Zhen and Shen Jie were both cleaved alive by Gu Chen, while Zhuo Siyuan was blown to pieces with a punch, their deaths gruesome to the point where not even whole corpses could be left behind.

The commanding officers of Jing Tian Department standing beside Wang Jiuzhi were also terrified to the extreme.

Wang Jiuzhi alone might truly be unable to withstand so many martial arts grandmasters.

After all, as these people said, if they couldn't do anything to Wang Jiuzhi, couldn't they still deal with others?

Even with military experts and troops nearby, for these martial arts grandmasters to band together and kill a Gu Chen would still be all too easy.

"You little beast, daring to kill a legitimate descendant of my Qiu family; today I will flay and dismember you, leaving you without a corpse!"

Every time the martial arts grandmaster of the Qiu family thought of the deaths of Qiu Zhen and Qiu Li, his vision darkened. Qiu Li was one thing, but Qiu Zhen was the legitimate eldest son of the Qiu family leader, the heir to the Qiu family's future.

Now that Qiu Zhen was dead, who would inherit the Qiu family in the future?

The Da Guangming Sect and the White Tiger Clan were in the same boat, with the killing of their most outstanding inheritors, a discontinuity had occurred in their lineages, causing far-reaching impacts.

To cultivate someone of the same caliber again would require an unknown amount of time and resources, and they may not even find suitable candidates.
