Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1158 - 603: Completely Powerless to Fight Back

His arrogance shone through clearly, evident in how he deliberately held his cultivation back to the early Nascent Soul Realm before stepping onto the Holy Road. A man with such unwavering confidence, entering the Xinghong Spirit Domain for tempering, surely wouldn’t carry numerous Magical Treasures—doing so would reveal his self-doubt."

Tianxuan Divine Girl pondered her own trials within the Xinghong Spirit Domain.

She had also arrived with scant Magical Treasures for this training, unwilling to lean heavily on outside aids and aiming to foster stronger growth through pure challenge.

Qiankun Venerate King possessed even greater assurance than her, meaning the trump cards he bore were likely few in number. If not, when Gu Sheng pursued him without mercy, he wouldn’t have merely used a black wooden plaque to flee.

Gu Sheng took in Tianxuan Divine Girl’s breakdown, gave a quiet nod, and eased his wariness toward Qiankun Venerate King a touch.

Kunpeng Taoist gazed at Qiankun Venerate King with worry and swiftly inquired, "Venerate King, what’s our next move?"

This question echoed not just his own uncertainty but the pressing dilemma shared by all the Six Great Holy Lands disciples there. Confronted with this dire choice, they debated whether to battle Gu Sheng to the bitter end or flee this perilous spot.

Qiankun Venerate King’s eyes burned with frost, and he declared firmly, "Unite and slay him."

His voice brimmed with ferocious murderous aura, as though only ripping Gu Sheng apart could quench the rage boiling inside him.

Kunpeng Taoist absorbed Qiankun Venerate King’s verdict.

Qiankun Venerate King’s refusal to retreat suited him perfectly.

Whether slaying Gu Sheng or claiming the fabled supreme inheritance from him, they couldn’t succeed alone. Only by allying with Qiankun Venerate King did a spark of possibility emerge.

Qiankun Venerate King shifted his stare to the remaining Six Great Holy Lands disciples and demanded icily, "What about you lot?"

Normally, he scorned such folk, yet in crisis, he swallowed his pride to rally every ounce of available power.

Kunpeng Taoist noticed the widespread hesitation and urged hastily, "Gu Sheng has slaughtered countless of our brothers. Fail to end him, and even surviving to escape will leave us shamed forever.

He’s merciless and vicious; no chance he’ll let us live. Our sole path is teaming with the Venerate King to eliminate Gu Sheng."

The other prodigious Holy Lands disciples harbored profound dread at clashing with Gu Sheng. His freakish power had even forced Qiankun Venerate King to withdraw.

What held them back stemmed from lingering greed for that mythical supreme inheritance alongside seething grudge against Gu Sheng.

Under Kunpeng Taoist’s urging, they clenched their jaws and assented.

"Kunpeng Taoist speaks true. Without his death, none of us walk out of the Holy Road alive."

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

The Six Great Holy Lands prodigies swiftly united, their Spiritual Power erupting as a torrent of slaughterous intent surged at Gu Sheng.

Kunpeng Taoist turned back to Qiankun Venerate King and pressed, "Venerate King, what’s the plan now?"

The rest fixed their eyes on Qiankun Venerate King, yearning for him to devise a masterful strategy to triumph over Gu Sheng.

Qiankun Venerate King replied steadily, "You advance with me to strike him down, while the others flank and support the assault."

His words flowed as casually as chatting about daily trifles.

This statement unleashed uproar among the group.

Kunpeng Taoist had assumed Qiankun Venerate King returned with some divine trump card. Instead, the plan thrust him forward to clash directly with Gu Sheng.

That put him right in the path of Gu Sheng’s deadliest blows.

"What?"

Kunpeng Taoist blurted out in alarm, shock twisting his features.

Qiankun Venerate King caught Kunpeng Taoist’s reluctance, whirled around, and leveled a chilling stare laced with deadly threat that shook Kunpeng Taoist to his core.

One refusal from Kunpeng Taoist, and Qiankun Venerate King would strike him down on the spot first.

Kunpeng Taoist quailed under that overwhelming killing intent, realizing retreat was impossible.

He thought back to his scheme of yielding on purpose to Tianxuan Divine Girl earlier, dodging the fray to preserve power for snatching Gu Sheng’s inheritance later, even at Qinghe Holy Land’s expense.

Yet schemes of men pale against fate’s whims; Qiankun Venerate King not only failed against Gu Sheng but got hurled from the Immortal Temple. Everything spiraled beyond his grasp.

Forced to comply, he ground out, "It’s nothing." He’d just navigate step by step from here.

Tianxuan Divine Girl concealed herself in the Void, faint ripples of Spiritual Power cloaking her, her eyes fixed intently on Qiankun Venerate King and the Six Great Holy Lands forces.

Tianxuan Divine Girl’s gaze swept the assembly before settling on Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng’s peril was dire; she couldn’t hold back her worry any longer and slipped to his side.

"I’ll handle those guys for you; you concentrate on Qiankun Venerate King."

Tianxuan Divine Girl urged with haste, burning to charge in and lighten Gu Sheng’s burden.

Gu Sheng hesitated, then shook his head. "Hold off on acting. See, your healing Spirit Pills are almost gone, recovery drags on slowly, leaving you frail.

Rushing in now would only worsen your wounds gravely."

Gu Sheng studied Tianxuan Divine Girl’s face—pallid and breaths shallow—his heart aching with worry.

Tianxuan Divine Girl’s heart warmed, but anxiety surged; she yearned to protest further.
