Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1080 - 564: How Many More Surprises Are You Hiding?

Blood pooled across the earth as Gu Sheng shifted his gaze toward Huang Shan.

Huang Shan pressed on with his savage battle, his frame marred by bloody marks, his blade stabbing forth repeatedly to scatter bodies in heaps.

As though detecting Gu Sheng's stare, Huang Shan delayed turning his head until much later.

The instant their gazes connected, his rage lifted, and he gave Gu Sheng a soft nod.

Spotting the gesture, Gu Sheng snapped his finger. A thread of aura burst from his palm.

The remaining fighters picked up on the aura and pulled back at once.

Watching their comrades withdraw, the Qingxia Sect folks buzzed with bewilderment.

Still, the huge gap in might held them from pushing ahead.

In mere moments, a divide opened up between the factions.

Huang Shan observed them intently before smashing the Ruby with brute force.

"Qingxia Sect scum, you’re all going to die!"

His thunderous shout ignited the blast of Wushuang Taoist’s Array.

A deafening crash erupted, shredding the Qingxia Sect warriors into a haze of gore instantly.

Gu Sheng and his allies threw up hands to shield, yet couldn't halt the spray of blood upon them.

Through the violent quakes, they clustered tightly, steadying each other via Divine Power.

Only after the ground trembled endlessly did Gu Sheng drop his sleeve.

"Go check, see if there are any survivors."

Grasping his intent, the group surged ahead right away.

Having combed the site completely, Shi Lou hurried back, eyes sparkling.

"Brother Sheng, we've checked thoroughly, no survivors."

At those words, Gu Sheng glanced once more at Huang Shan.

Huang Shan's eyes blazed crimson as he blew out a heavy breath.

"They died deservedly; it’s what they earned."

"Indeed, has the anger in your heart dissipated somewhat?"

"It's dissipated a lot; the earlier fury felt choking, but it's finally faded away. Brother Sheng, if an opportunity comes, I still want to slay Ling Xiao myself."

"Alright, as long as he appears, I’ll definitely give you the chance."

Gu Sheng's promise at last soothed Huang Shan's tension.

Noting his features ease, Gu Sheng's mouth twitched into a slight smile as he moved closer and slapped his shoulder.

"No rush, they can’t cause any trouble and will eventually die by our hands."

"Yes, such people don’t deserve to live in this world."

"Let’s ignore them for now. Ling Xiao has taken a massive hit with so many losses this round; even without our move, his days won't be easy. Let’s return to Yunhai first."

Huang Shan dipped his head and trailed behind him.

As the party arrived back in Yunhai, Hong Mei drew near with evident anxiety.

"How was it? Did you kill them?"

"Rest assured, not a single survivor left."

That answer drew a deep, relieved exhale from Hong Mei.

"That’s good. Gu Sheng, come and look at these herbs, they seem strange."

Hong Mei clutched his wrist outright and tugged him toward the table, babbling on about the plants.

In her chatter, she overlooked still clasping Gu Sheng, pulling them near in a somewhat intimate stance.

The bystanders took in the display, their looks packed with teasing interest.

Wushuang Taoist halted his chores, beaming as he eyed the duo.

Hong Mei remained oblivious, though Gu Sheng caught on.

Sensing the focused stares, he grinned and tapped Hong Mei's hand.

"Sect Leader Hong, holding me like this, I, a gentleman, feel a bit shy. If I decide to spread this around, you’d be responsible."

Gu Sheng's remark yanked Hong Mei back to the present.

Confronted by the swarm of sly glances, her cheeks burned scarlet, and she dropped his hand fast.

"I was just eager for you to see these herbs, responsible for what? Quickly focus on proper matters, this concerns my master."

Once she wrapped up, Wushuang Taoist chuckled and added: "It’s fine as long as you’re happy. Whether or not I get cured doesn’t matter."

His line set off hearty laughs from the assembly.

Deeply mortified, Hong Mei stomped her foot in irritation.

"Master~"

Catching sight of his prized disciple's flustered look, Wushuang Taoist remarked: "Discuss your responsibility privately, now help me look at the herbs, or my main disciple might spontaneously combust, that would be an issue."

His words only amplified the chuckles.

Gu Sheng bit back his amusement, tilting his head down to detail the herbs step by step.

When he concluded, he faced Lan Yao and Bai Yu.

"You two are also experts in this field, come and help take a look."

They caught his words, swallowed their mirth, and stepped up to assist.

Their teamwork at last unraveled the mystery of the herbs.

Realizing every one packed deadly venom, able to slay without extra mixes, Wushuang Taoist's visage hardened.

"It seems she is determined to kill me, hence she disregards her disciples’ lives and raised such poisonous things."

"Taoist, these herbs are relatively easy to manage, but cultivating an antidote might take some time."

Gu Sheng's statement earned a nod from Wushuang Taoist.

"Indeed, we don’t have the herbs specifically for these, we’ll need to cultivate them anew."

"Do you have seeds?"

"I’ve roamed Jianghu for years, collected countless seeds, I should have them, but mixing them might be difficult. These herbs were likely irrigated with special substances, we’ll need to figure something out."

Wushuang Taoist's brow furrowed in concern, so Gu Sheng paused briefly and drew forth two Spirit Stones.

The gleam of the Spirit Stones left Wushuang Taoist astonished.

"These are Spirit Stones?! Gu Sheng, you actually have Spirit Stones?!"

"Obtained by chance, but not many, can’t provide too much, but I thought they might be useful."
