Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Yet even so, a bloody scratch manifested upon his chest, where droplets of blood trickled down.

Without direct contact, merely by drawing slightly closer, Gu Chen's physique, comparable to a top-grade divine weapon, was torn open, and even the Youtie Battle Suit on his body showed damage.

Fortunately, the injury wasn't too severe. With the special properties of the Three Suns Scorches the Heavens Skill, the wound on Gu Chen's chest quickly healed.

As for the top-grade divine weapon, the Youtie Battle Suit, it also possessed a self-healing ability; as long as the damage wasn't too serious, it was manageable.

Hissss!

At this moment, Bi Yu, his face cold with indifference, without saying a word, constantly swung his long spear. As the spear shadows flickered, delicate cracks began to appear between the heavens and the earth.

An attack of this magnitude was infinitely close, or rather, equivalent to the absolute peak martial arts master of the Coagulation Field realm.

If it weren't for Bi Yu's low cultivation level, even a martial artist of the Coagulation Field realm couldn't confront him physically without suffering severe injuries.

This is the power of an unparalleled divine weapon.

"You said you'd subdue me within three moves? Where is your third move, why don't you strike?" Bi Yu, holding the unparalleled divine weapon, was full of vigor while continuously pressing Gu Chen.

Looking at Gu Chen, his eyes intense with concentration, at this moment, he could only dodge tirelessly, his body occasionally marked with streaks of blood.

The might of the unparalleled divine weapon was extraordinary, and Gu Chen would not act rashly, he was looking for Bi Yu's vulnerabilities.

Of course, if he chose to play the long game, Gu Chen could also drag Bi Yu to his death, for he had already noticed Bi Yu's complexion growing progressively paler and his vitality steadily weakening.

This without question demonstrated the immense consumption required by the unparalleled divine weapon.

Bi Yu, himself, also understood this point; that's why he tried to provoke Gu Chen into facing him head-on.

"I said three moves, so it will be three moves!"

At that moment, with burning determination in his eyes, Gu Chen chose not to wait any longer. This wasn't in his nature, moreover, powerful though the unparalleled divine might be, he was not without means to cope with it. Buzz!

Gu Chen extended his left palm, using his mental command to awaken the mysterious gauntlet lying dormant within the flesh of his left hand. The ancient artifact vibrated softly as a stream of supremely pure energy flowed, igniting Gu Chen's left palm with blazing radiance, outshining even the sun itself.

"Huh?!"

Seeing Gu Chen's energy surge again, Bi Yu was caught by surprise, his face changing in shock as he swiftly turned to retreat, sensing something was amiss.

"What's happening, has War Duke Gu begun to counterattack?" At this moment, the members of Beidou Sect, who had previously assumed the outcome was set, were surprised by the sudden turn in the tide of battle.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Gu Chen, resplendent with radiant light, appeared as a war god, shouting coldly, he instantly pursued his retreating enemy. His left palm, brighter than the sun, clenched into a fist before he delivered a thunderous blow.

Clang!

A sound fierce enough to split gold and stone, vibrations that shook heaven and earth, rang out like a war god forging weapons in the heavens. Gu Chen's punch landed on Bi Yu's spear shaft held before him.

"Pugh!"

Despite the barrier of an unparalleled divine weapon, Bi Yu couldn't withstand the full force of Gu Chen's strike in this state. He felt his insides burning as though struck by lightning, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.

"What martial art is this? It's impossible!" Bi Yu roared in horror, his knowledge of the might of his own weapon was second to none—it was enough to crush Da Xia states. But how could Gu Chen match it with his bare hands?

How could there possibly exist such an advanced martial arts skill in Da Xia? Even if there was, how could Gu Chen have the right and ability to obtain it, let alone master it?

At that moment, Bi Yu's mind was filled with incredulity.

"You can't kill me, three moves have passed, three moves have passed!" Bi Yu shouted wildly, as if driven mad.

Gu Chen's gaze remained indifferent, saying nothing as Bi Yu shrieked until, at a certain moment, Bi Yu's entire body stiffened on the spot.

Because, unbeknownst to him, his chest had slowly split open, flesh burst apart, and within, his heart had been shattered too.

It turned out, the power of Gu Chen, or rather, the power of the mysterious gauntlet, had long passed through the unparalleled divine weapon, striking inside Bi Yu.

"I…"

In this moment, Bi Yu's mouth filled with blood foam. He tried to speak but could utter not a word.

He could never have fathomed that as an exceptional talent from the upper realms, even within the Red Cloud Sect of the Great Sect, someone considered rather extraordinary, he would die in a barren place like Da Xia in the lower realms.

And the one to kill him was Gu Chen – a native martial artist born and bred in Da Xia.

"I… refuse…" After uttering these three words, Bi Yu's head tilted, and he was dead.

"Dead... is he dead?" The elder leader of Beidou Sect and the others watched the scene with tight expressions.

"In the end, War Duke Gu of Da Xia proved to be the superior one." The crowd remarked, just as Gu Chen himself had said—even a rare talent from the upper realms was nothing in his presence!

"I really want to know, just where is the limit of War Duke Gu Chen, the current protector of Da Xia?" This thought lingered in the minds of many from Beidou Sect.

At this moment, Bi Yu who could have easily crushed their elder leader was subdued by Gu Chen in one battle – no, it was a complete domination. Had Bi Yu not wielded the unparalleled divine weapon, Gu Chen would have killed him sooner and the battle would not have dragged on until now.

At this moment, everyone from Beidou Sect, high and low, felt a deep respect and gratitude toward Gu Chen.

At the very least, by killing Bi Yu and his brother, Gu Chen had avenged those martial artists of Beidou Sect who had died.

Then, after Bi Yu's demise, Gu Chen extended his palm like lightning, using the mysterious gauntlet to suppress the unparalleled divine weapon, seizing it firmly in his hand.

Observing this, not one of the Beidou Sect dared to speak. The unparalleled divine weapon was formidable indeed, but one needed to be alive to wield it; it now belonged to Gu Chen as spoils of war.

At that time, the elder leader of Beidou Sect stepped forward, folding his fists and bowing deeply to Gu Chen, saying, "Thank you, War Duke, for helping Beidou Sect execute these two scoundrels. We, from top to bottom of Beidou Sect, have no second thoughts and wish to pledge our allegiance to Da Xia, ready to stand or fall together with War Duke Gu."

Having witnessed Gu Chen's strength, the elder leader of Beidou Sect was wholeheartedly convinced, and since he never wanted to be at odds with Da Xia in the first place, pledging his allegiance was the most natural course of action.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen nodded slightly, without saying much. Following that, the elder leader of Beidou Sect personally took Gu Chen to rest.

It was a good thing that the earlier battle with Bi Xin was in the sky, else the entire Beidou Sect would have ceased to exist the moment his punch collided with the unparalleled divine weapon.

The next day, Gu Chen suddenly received a confidential letter sent personally by Luo Wenzhi, the master of Red Dust Tower.

"Hmm?!"

After receiving the intelligence, Gu Chen showed a look of surprise, suddenly standing up, unable to remain calm any longer.
