Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1134 - 591: Subduing the Demon Beast

Observing the shift in Lan Yao’s demeanor, Gu Sheng let out a soft chuckle and naturally directed his attention toward Bai Yu.

As their gazes met, Bai Yu offered a measured response: "I stand with Lan Yao. Boasting openly is hardly a wise strategy."

Gu Sheng could not suppress his amusement, replying with a grin, "I suspect this Demon Beast lacks the patience to endure until nightfall."

"Beg your pardon? Why is that?"

"Because our intervention is imminent. Wang Chunshi cast us into these wild heights expressly so we would handle this beast on his behalf. Since there is profit to be reaped, it is only logical that we exert ourselves."

The group’s eyes widened as the realization dawned upon them.

"So that is the scheme. That old fox is truly devious; yet, with so many disciples at his command, why not see to the matter himself?"

"The monster devoured his own disciple, absorbing a share of the energy in the process, leaving them incapable of subduing it through conventional means."

"I see..."

Understanding the implications, the others could not help but whisper curses toward Wang Chunshi.

"The old rogue struts around with such airs, as if he looks down upon the lot of us."

"Precisely, he acts superior and attempts to pull our strings, yet in the final hour, he must beg for our assistance."

Gu Sheng reached out, patting Shi Lou’s shoulder to quell his indignation.

"Think nothing of it. We were the ones in need of his favors first, so his high-handed nature is to be expected. Provided he relinquishes that High-Level Xuan Iron as promised, our troubles will not have been in vain. Come, let us confront our quarry."

The group steeled their resolve, trailing behind Gu Sheng as they tracked the lingering traces of the Demon Beast’s aura.

As they approached the mountain’s base, the creature’s presence grew thick and suffocating.

Sensing the proximity of the threat, Gu Sheng’s expression darkened. He held up a hand, effectively stalling everyone’s momentum.

"The aura emanating from this beast is formidable. Alertness is non-negotiable."

They responded with solemn nods, their visages taut with anticipation.

Advancing with caution, they navigated past a massive boulder and finally caught sight of the monster.

Hidden behind the rugged stone, the Demon Beast lied in ambush.

The moment Gu Sheng and his companions emerged, the beast tensed, unleashing a fierce snort that vibrated in the air. Its crimson eyes locked onto them as its claws scraped against the earth with frantic agitation.

Feeling the violent oscillation in its aura, Gu Sheng redoubled his vigilance.

He stood a few paces away, his eyes scanning the beast.

"Have you consumed such an abundance of Spiritual Energy and inner cores, all with the intent to claim Kunming Mountain for yourself?"

As the question fell from his lips, a flicker of strange emotion crossed the beast’s features.

Evidently, Gu Sheng had struck the mark. The creature harbored such grandiose ambitions and had been actively executing its plan all along.

Observing its unrestrained display of insolence, Gu Sheng curled his lip in a cold sneer.

"Do you truly believe you are fit for such a role? A base Demon Beast, lacking in true strength, yet blinded by such laughable vanity."

The taunt shattered the monster's composure; its face contorted in a mask of pure rage, and its heavy breathing grew more erratic as its aura began to surge.

Sensing the volatility, Gu Sheng unsheathed the Fire Spirit Dagger.

"Since the masters of Kunming Mountain lack the mettle to act, we shall be the ones to extinguish your existence!"

He launched himself into the fray without hesitation.

The Fire Spirit Dagger flickered, igniting a blaze that roared toward the heavens.

Unfazed, the creature charged straight to meet the challenge.

Just before the two forces collided, a torrent of azure energy erupted from the Demon Beast, violently slamming into the crimson glow surrounding Gu Sheng!

With a deafening crash, Gu Sheng executed a frantic pivot, allowing the kinetic force of the impact to narrowly sweep past him.

Sizing up his advantage, Gu Sheng initiated a follow-up, aiming his blade directly for the creature’s skull!

Yet, like a phantom, the Demon Beast dodged the strike with nimble precision.

Eyes narrowing, Gu Sheng pressed the assault, his Fire Spirit Dagger weaving a lethal tapestry across the beast’s vitals.

At this juncture, Lan Yao, Bai Yu, and the others closed the distance, surrounding the creature to strike from all angles.

Trapped and furious, the beast unleashed the full extent of its malice, its aura flaring as if it sought to drag every last one of them into the abyss.

Ignoring the danger, the group stood their ground and hammered away at their target, intent on delivering the final blow.

Amidst the chaos, Gu Sheng lunged once more.

Seeing the opening, Bai Yu and Lan Yao coordinated their movements, converging from left and right to anchor the beast in place.

Sensing the fleeting window of opportunity, Gu Sheng flashed forward, Spiritual Energy crackling over his hands as he moved like a spirit caught in the wind.

The beast faltered, unable to break the hold of its dual adversaries, and Gu Sheng materialized behind it. Infusing his Fire Spirit Dagger with concentrated Spiritual Energy, he thrust the blade deep into the creature's heart!

With a wet, sickening thud, putrid fluids erupted from the wound, spraying the surroundings.

Just as Gu Sheng attempted to retreat, he felt a sudden, ominous vibration radiating from the weapon.

Recognizing the impending catastrophe, his complexion paled, and he bellowed, "Bai Yu, deliver the finishing strike!"

Bai Yu didn't question the command; he thrust his blade home without a second of hesitation.

As the steel sank in, Gu Sheng’s pupils contracted to pinpricks. He lunged for Bai Yu and Lan Yao, dragging them down and curling his body to shield his companions.

A detonation shattered the silence. The small tripod was deployed in an instant, expanding just before the aura reached its zenith, forming a mantle of protection over the group.

The shockwave hit with cataclysmic power, keeping Kunming Mountain trembling for what felt like an eternity, as boulders rained down around them, striking Gu Sheng with lethal force.

"Gu Sheng!"

"Brother Sheng!"
