Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1089 - 568: Gu Sheng, You Angered Her to Death_2

"I don’t dare to deny! I... I..."

At that moment, she found herself unable to proceed with her words.

Gu Sheng's grin expanded as he softly stroked his fingers together.

"You're truly so timid, unwilling to confess your treason even on the brink of death, and now I must inform you that Saint Ya has forsaken you. At this point, aren't you inferior to a forsaken mutt left on the streets?"

The moment Gu Sheng uttered those cutting remarks, the Fan Sect Leader sensed her blood roiling within, struggling hard to suppress it yet ultimately coughing up a spray of crimson blood.

Her body's Evil Qi trembled without cease, causing onlookers to back away in contempt while Gu Sheng dismissively gestured with his hand.

"Precisely because you're lower than hounds does Saint Ya discard you. A mere toxin—what couldn't she neutralize? She merely loathes you and discards your existences, dooming you to fade away in East Mountain. Had she cared, with our vast numbers assembled below East Mountain, she could've simply chosen several with plentiful Spiritual Energy to aid you. But she never spared us a look before departing, showing just how repulsed she feels toward you."

Though Gu Sheng delivered these lines casually, they ignited a furious blaze in the Fan Sect Leader.

She parted her lips to respond, only for more blood to pour forth.

"If death claims you, then perish elsewhere; avoid staining us with your vile essence. Hounds forsaken by Saint Ya earn the scorn of the whole Jianghu."

Gu Sheng's taunts turned even harsher, fueling the Fan Sect Leader's rage further as her breaths grew labored and her face drained to a ghostly white.

Aware of her worsening state, Gu Sheng poured oil on the flames.

"From what I recall, East Mountain holds numerous herbs that slipped from your grasp. If my guess is right, Saint Ya demands your deaths due to your negligence in protecting those plants. To be honest, the toxin I administered lacks the potency to end your lives. This agony you're suffering now likely stems from Saint Ya dosing you anew."

These words made the Fan Sect Leader's eyes bulge in shock.

A flicker of conflict appeared in her gaze, vanishing almost immediately.

Gu Sheng could tell his deception had taken hold.

Right when Gu Sheng meant to stoke her fury more, the Fan Sect Leader abruptly spewed dark blood and collapsed lifeless, her eyes flipping upward!

The onlookers stared in stunned silence at the spectacle.

Lan Yao faced Gu Sheng, fluttering her eyelids in surprise.

"Gu Sheng, without deploying any technique, you provoked someone straight to their grave?"

His response left Gu Sheng chuckling wryly in a mix of humor and exasperation.

He had meant to drive her to despair then strike the fatal blow, yet she proved so fragile that mere words sealed her fate.

"Examine if she yet draws breath; stay alert, her Poison and Evil Qi remain potent."

Grasping his intent, Lan Yao proceeded with caution and hastened close.

Employing all possible checks, he verified that the Fan Sect Leader had truly perished from rage, her form already rigid.

"Gu Sheng, you genuinely infuriated her unto death."

Lan Yao's declaration drew nods of awe from everyone present.

No one had foreseen that a powerhouse like her would fall to Gu Sheng's verbal barbs, likely never imagining such a degrading conclusion for herself!

Hong Mei lingered near Gu Sheng, murmuring softly, "Your words cut like blades, driving a person to demise."

"I hadn't anticipated her frailty. Simply discard the remains outdoors for the feral canines to devour."

Lan Yao agreed with a nod and began managing the aftermath.

The assembly trailed Gu Sheng out, witnessing rival sects clashing fiercely with the Fan Sect members. Shi Lou advanced and inquired, "Brother Sheng, shall we join the fray?"

"Indeed, instruct Lan Yao to haul the Fan Sect Leader's corpse here first. Even in death, it holds value. We'll wield her remains to terrorize her followers and speed their downfall."

"Brother Sheng, that's ingenious. I'll notify Lan Yao without delay."

Moments later, the body was carried into view.

Bursting amid the throng, Lan Yao brandished the cadaver dramatically, treating it like a bludgeon without bothering for a blade.

At first, the Fan Sect followers failed to notice, slashing wildly at what turned out to be their own superior.

As Lan Yao swung once more, revealing the Fan Sect Leader's features, her subordinates finally comprehended they had been savaging their leader repeatedly!

Morale shattered completely in that heartbeat.

Grasping the moment, Gu Sheng signaled, and hordes from various sects rushed in, claiming every last one of their lives.

With the Fan Sect annihilated on the spot, Gu Sheng promptly invoked the small tripod to shield the space overhead.

"All of you, swiftly cleanse your auras via Spiritual Power and Divine Power. These foes were nurtured akin to Gu insects; their blood carries venom—avoid contamination."

This warning filled the group with dread, prompting them to rapidly purge their own auras.

Now, East Mountain brimmed with lingering energy, and Gu Sheng probed meticulously, pinpointing the origin of the shadowy aura.

From within the masses, Gu Sheng's eyes fixed on the distance.

Noting their efforts to dispel auras as well, Gu Sheng marched straight toward them.

Intrigued by his intent, the crowd tracked his advance intently.

Gu Sheng halted before the group, drew the Fire Spirit Dagger, and struck down abruptly while they remained off guard.

Instantly, the individual's head detached, arterial spray erupting alongside a burst of Evil Qi!

At first, none grasped Gu Sheng's abrupt assault until the Evil Qi alerted them, unveiling Fan Sect infiltrators mingled with the Jianghu warriors!

"Vile scum! Hiding in our midst—allow me to end you!"

Their auras freshly cleared, the assembly unsheathed blades and lunged ahead.

Faced with the onslaught of so many bearing murderous glares, the handful panicked, collapsing to kneel before Gu Sheng with resounding thumps.

"Spare our lives! We beg you, no killing! It was coercion; we meant no injury!"

Gu Sheng raised a hand subtly, halting his followers in their tracks.

"Coerced, were you? By whom?"

"Saint Ya! She ordered us to blend in, targeting those richest in Spiritual Energy for slaughter to feed the Fan Sect ranks! Yet we refused! Mercy, please!"

Gu Sheng let out a chilling scoff at their plea.

"Failing to act makes you innocent? You abstained only from lack of chance; else, you'd not have lasted till now!"

"No, our intentions were pure of malice!"

"True lack of harm would've seen you fighting upfront against Fan Sect foes, not lurking to relay secrets to Saint Ya!"

With that, Gu Sheng snapped his wrist, sending a thread of aura shooting from his hand.

Witnessing their Divine Power blocked, despair etched the faces of those traitors.

They had hoped for salvation when the Divine Power emerged, but now recognized their fate sealed!

Their countenances twisted wildly in seconds, swiftly all unsheathing daggers aimed squarely at Gu Sheng!

Spotting this betrayal, Bai Yu, Hong Mei, and allies paled, darting to shield Gu Sheng at full tilt.

The instant these betrayers moved to claim Gu Sheng's life, his protectors struck preemptively, blades plunging into the villains' flesh!

Blood erupted anew in a flash, dooming them to ruin by those swift strikes.

Unsated, the rest barreled in, chopping relentlessly at the corpses until they lay in a mangled heap.
