Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

The Burning Heaven Valley's most outstanding scion of this generation, Ouyang Yu, whom even the six great saint lands acknowledged, was effortlessly slain by Gu Chen!

Ouyang Yu was an extraordinary talent seldom seen in the world. His natural aptitude was so remarkable that he alone could suppress everyone in Jiuzhou who was below the innate realm. At the young age of just twenty-six, he had already made a breakthrough to the innate realm, which was somewhat rare even among the six great saint lands.

But today, this exceptional Ouyang Yu was easily cut down by a martial artist who was a full four years his junior.

If before, Gu Chen's slaying of Chen Luo from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect and Chi Yan from Mount Tianzhu was only going to displease these two great saint lands, then Gu Chen's act of killing Ouyang Yu would enrage the saint lands!

The nature of the two situations was entirely different because the former two were merely ordinary disciples of the saint lands, whereas Ouyang Yu was the representative of the current Burning Heaven Valley's generation and was being groomed as the next Valley Master of Burning Heaven Valley.

What Gu Chen did was akin to slicing flesh from the saint lands, and it was the extremely vicious kind.

One could even say that Gu Chen had punctured the heavens!

At this very moment, all the martial artists from the Burning Heaven Valley were staring at this scene with faces full of shock; Ouyang Yu's brow was pierced through, and that sword aura had turned his brain into mush. Even though he had achieved the innate realm, Ouyang Yu was just as doomed to die, with no chance of living.

With a thud, Ouyang Yu's corpse fell to the ground, his eyes wide open with terror, dying with his eyes unshut.

Counting Ouyang Yu, this was the third saint land that Gu Chen had offended. Of the six great saint lands, Gu Chen alone had managed to offend half of them.

In the entire Jiuzhou, no matter who it was, when mentioning the six great saint lands everyone would feel a sense of respect or wariness. Not a single person dared to be as unrestrained as Gu Chen, who not only disregarded the six great saint lands but even went so far as to take action, decisively killing without hesitation, even including the representative of a saint land's current generation!

"Audacious" isn't sufficient to describe what Gu Chen had done.

"You..."

At this very moment, the martial artists from the Burning Heaven Valley were trembling with fear, shaking like chaff, unable to even speak clearly. Looking at Gu Chen, they felt as if they were looking at a god of death.

These people were on the verge of tears now, terrified that Gu Chen might kill them with a casual strike.@@novelbin@@

Usually arrogant and overbearing, protective of their own and viewing the martial artists from Jiuzhou as mere locals, at this moment, the martial artists from the Burning Heaven Valley couldn't even utter a threat. Instead, their eyes were filled with a plea for mercy, hoping that Gu Chen would spare their lives.

Gu Chen stood tall with his black hair flowing loosely around him, his expression remarkably calm, as if he had done nothing more than a trivial thing.

Hum!

Gu Chen reached out with his hand, and immediately grasped the superior divine weapon that Ouyang Yu had held firmly in his palm. But the spear resisted subordination to Gu Chen, struggling in his hand.

If he hadn't broken through to the innate realm, Gu Chen really would have been powerless to subdue a superior divine weapon, but now things were different.

Accompanied by the pure and abounding Great Day True Qi circulating within Gu Chen's body, the bright red spear in his hand promptly settled down, suppressed by him.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Gu Chen shot straight into the sky, leaving the area.

After breaking through to the innate realm, Gu Chen had acquired the ability to soar through the sky. At this moment, flying in the air, his speed was impressive; mountains and lands swiftly passed by below him, his hair fluttering and robes billowing, like a celestial being descending from the heavens.

Having broken through to the innate realm, Gu Chen's spirit had merged with heaven and earth, greatly enhancing his perception and making him particularly sensitive to various types of energies.

Moreover, those scions of the saint lands who had broken through to the innate realm were all extremely unrestrained, without the slightest concealment, enabling Gu Chen to easily lock onto the whereabouts of Yuwen Wind of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect and Xi Mu of Mount Tianzhu.

Unexpectedly, at this very moment, the two of them were gathered together.

"Good, this saves me the trouble of looking for them," Gu Chen said with an indifferent expression. Moving rapidly, it didn't take long before he was in the vicinity of Xi Mu and Yuwen Wind.

"Hmm? Gu Chen?!"

Xi Mu and Yuwen Wind were discussing how to deal with Lin Bai when they suddenly saw Gu Chen descending from the sky, startling them both.

"What's going on, didn't you fall into the Void? How are you not dead..."

The two were confused, but before they could say more, a boom resounded—a sword aura of unrivaled purity blasted towards them.

"Be careful!"

Yuwen Wind shouted out, his expression filled with alarm. As a Sword repairer, he could keenly sense just how powerful the sword aura unleashed by Gu Chen truly was.

Even a small mountain, faced with this sword aura from Gu Chen, would be pierced through as well.

Swish!

The pair reacted swiftly, not as underestimating as Ouyang Yu had been. They did not choose to clash head-on, but instead soared up and fled toward the distance at the first opportunity.

"That's... Ouyang Yu's weapon?!"

At that moment, Xi Mu and Yuwen Wind's eyes were sharp, and they noticed the bright red spear in Gu Chen's hand, radiating waves of intense heat—it was the weapon of Ouyang Yu, the representative of the current generation of Burning Heaven Valley!

"What have you done to Ouyang Yu?!"

At this instant, both were trembling, realizing that the weapon changing hands meant that Ouyang Yu's fate was self-evident, but Xi Mu and Yuwen Wind still somewhat refused to believe it.

After all, Ouyang Yu was on the same level as them; if Gu Chen could kill Ouyang Yu, he could certainly kill them as well.

This was something that they simply couldn't accept, no matter what.

After all, they were from the six great saint lands, and they were the most outstanding scions of this generation. They were used to killing others; how could anyone dare to kill them?!

Of course, what surprised them the most was that not only had Gu Chen not died, but he had also somehow broken through to the innate realm. The two were completely bewildered, totally clueless about what was happening.

Boom!

Meanwhile, Gu Chen skillfully wielded the spear in his hand. Although he had not yet fully refined it, the power of a superior divine weapon should not be underestimated, especially since Gu Chen had now broken through to the innate realm, making his power even more terrifying.

A streak of red light burst from the tip of the spear, and the earth immediately cracked open with a huge fissure. The void trembled as if it was about to collapse, and within an area of tens of meters around, countless clouds of dust and smoke shot up into the sky in an instant.

"Pfft!"

Yuwen Wind and Xi Mu both turned pale with shock. They too wielded top-grade divine weapons and their bodies glowed as they mobilized their full strength along with the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi around them, but it was to no avail; they were outmatched and sent flying backward by a move from Gu Chen, coughing up fresh blood.

"Gu Chen, I am the representative of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect in this world. If you dare to kill me, it means making an enemy of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect. Not just you, but your entire family will have to join me in hell!"

In that moment, Yuwen Wind's eyes turned blood red and he howled savagely, threatening Gu Chen.

He had no time to think about why Gu Chen had not died or how he had even managed to break through to the innate stage; all he could think about was how to preserve his own life.

Yuwen Wind's words were meant to intimidate Gu Chen, but he was unaware that by saying this, he had touched Gu Chen's reverse scale and sealed his own fate.

"Seeking death!"

Hearing Yuwen Wind daring to threaten his family, a chill flashed through Gu Chen's eyes as an overwhelming killing intent enveloped the sky.

Boom!

Gu Chen was truly enraged. With his innate Pure Yang Sword Aura channeled, he pointed his finger like a sword, and immediately a massive surge of sword qi shot out from his fingertip, cutting Yuwen Wind in half at the waist.

With a splat, a large amount of blood spurted out, and Yuwen Wind's scream was incredibly piercing.

Seeing this scene, Xi Mu, who was not far away, shuddered with fear, as though his liver and gallbladder were splitting apart.

"Ahhh…"

As a grandmaster of the martial path at the innate stage, Yuwen Wind had a tenacious vitality. He screamed for quite a while before finally bleeding out and dying a miserable death.

"Do... don't kill me..."

Xi Mu's expression was one of panic, no longer the cool composure he had before. The pride of being a representative of one of the six great holy lands was cast aside, as he now only pleaded for Gu Chen to spare his life.

Just as Gu Chen was about to take Xi Mu's life with an indifferent expression, an urgent call suddenly came from not far away.

"Brother Gu, stop!"

With a whoosh, Xuan One from the Limitless Dao Sect, Xu Ya from the Sumeru Buddhist Sect, and Lu Qing from the Cloud Heaven Palace arrived just in time at the last moment.

When they saw the gruesome scene, they all felt a chill in their hearts, and their gaze towards Gu Chen filled with a thick apprehension.

Now was not the time to question why Gu Chen was alive or how he had even advanced to the innate stage. Xuan One and the others were very clear about this. The priority was to save Xi Mu's life.

Xuan One's expression was grave. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, with a fist and palm salute, "Brother Gu, you cannot kill him."

"Why not?" Gu Chen's expression was calm, his voice not betraying any emotional ripples.

Xuan One said, "He is a representative of Mount Tianzhu, one of the six great holy lands!"

Gu Chen spoke indifferently, "Two are already dead; one more makes no difference."

Upon hearing this, Xuan One's face stiffened, and at the same time, he caught sight of the long spear in Gu Chen's hand, which used to belong to Ouyang Yu.

At that thought, Xuan One and the others felt even more tremors within, unable to maintain their composure.

Xuan One took a deep breath and said, "Brother Gu, I know the three of them conspired against you and have caused grievance in your heart, but you've already killed two of them. Could you please do me the honor of sparing Xi Mu's life?"

Then, Lu Qing from Cloud Heaven Palace also stepped forward and added, "What we are doing is for your own good. By daring to execute the descendants of sacred lands, the Vault of Sky Sword Sect and Burning Heaven Valley will surely not let you off.

If you make an enemy of Mount Tianzhu as well, you will have offended half of the six great holy lands, and there will be no place for you anywhere in the Nine Provinces. I'm not joking."

"If everyone's dead, what then? Will sparing him now prevent him from seeking revenge? Or will he suddenly become grateful to me?" Gu Chen remained calm and unruffled, as if none of this concerned him.

At that, the three remained speechless.

"Can't you just do me this favor and spare him this once, Brother Gu? You have already killed two of them," said Xuan One, his voice deep and serious.

Gu Chen's gaze shifted as he looked straight at Xuan One and said, "I cannot."

Xuan One's expression stiffened and, in the instant Gu Chen's eyes met his, he felt a piercing pain in every pore under his Daoist robe, a sensation that only arose when faced with a life-threatening threat.

Gu Chen before them was simply too powerful. Although he released no aura, he still gave Xuan One an overwhelming sense of oppression, like facing an ancient fierce beast.

In their same realm, Xuan One truly felt Gu Chen's power. Despite being an extraordinary talent and strong representative of the Limitless Dao Sect, he knew that if he confronted Gu Chen, he would not be able to withstand more than three moves and would be crushed to death.

Not just Xuan One, Xu Ya of the Sumeru Buddhist Sect and Lu Qing of Cloud Heaven Palace both had extremely grave expressions.

As Gu Chen's gaze reached them, their bodies tensed involuntarily, and a chill rose from the depths of their hearts.

They must not attempt to fight him!

This was the profound impression Gu Chen left on the three of them.

"No, Gu Chen, you can't kill me, I am Mount Tianzhu's contemporary..."

Xi Mu roared, but before he could finish his sentence, there was a splatter as a splatter of blood burst from the center of his forehead.

Seeing how decisively and effortlessly Gu Chen executed Xi Mu, Xuan One and the others trembled inwardly, allowing Gu Chen to leave without a single person daring to stand in his way.

With his own power, he had intimidated the six great holy lands, and moreover, he had slain three representatives of those lands. From now on, after leaving the spirit realm, the name of Gu Chen would surely spread throughout the Nine Provinces!
