Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1163 605: Useless Person (Part 2)

Facing Gu Sheng's fierce onslaughts, the disciples stood no chance at all. It wasn't long before over half of the Six Great Holy Lands' disciples lay slain. Those barely hanging on were primarily the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters from the assorted sacred lands.

The Holy Sons and Daughters channeled all their power into dodging Gu Sheng's merciless chase.

From their storage rings, they drew out all sorts of rare Magic Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts, flinging them wildly at Gu Sheng in desperation. They triggered explosions from these treasures, banking on the blasts and choking fumes to stall Gu Sheng's rush.

Flames lit up the skies above the Holy Road, earth-shaking blasts thundered, and heavy smoke choked the entire battlefield.

Seizing this fleeting chance, some dashed madly for the Immortal Temple's exit. Escape from this nightmare realm and Gu Sheng's deadly pursuit was their only obsession.

"Since that's the case, I'll kill you all first."

Seeing he couldn't slaughter every last one, Gu Sheng shifted his target to the prime kills on his list. Kunpeng Taoist sat squarely at number one.

At that instant, Kunpeng Taoist slunk deep into the Blood River, his form slicing swiftly through the crimson currents.

His mind fixated on one goal: slip away to safety via the Blood River.

As he swam, he scanned his surroundings warily, dreading Gu Sheng's sudden arrival.

Regrettably, Gu Sheng soon picked up on his aura. Detecting Kunpeng Taoist's trace, Gu Sheng bolted straight for the Blood River.

Gu Sheng's velocity stunned, and as he raced to the Blood River, Kunpeng Taoist felt peril closing in.

In a frantic surge, he erupted from the Blood River's depths, bolting desperately for the exit. As he broke free, he unleashed a Soul Power strike. Focusing his spirit, he condensed Soul Power into a stealthy assault aimed right at Gu Sheng.

"Hmph!"

Gu Sheng stood ready, swiftly summoning Soul Power from his Sea of Consciousness to erect a sturdy shield. This defense firmly repelled Kunpeng Taoist's Soul Power onslaught.

Gu Sheng's form rapidly overtook Kunpeng Taoist, his crushing physical presence utterly overwhelming the foe.

Even after vanquishing Qiankun Venerate King and draining vast Spiritual Power, Gu Sheng's Physical Strength stayed overwhelmingly vast, ample to butcher Kunpeng Taoist dozens of times.

"Haha, we can't let Xiao handle it alone, let's jump in!"

Luo Jun had watched Gu Sheng dominate from the sidelines, battle fever gripping him, urging him to dive into the fray.

He bellowed at Tianlan Sacred Land's disciples, "These scum are vile, they all deserve death. Everyone, charge in and slay them!"

Under Gongsun Yue's lead, Tianlan Sacred Land's disciples roared their agreement.

They had endured endless harassment from the Six Great Holy Lands' members along the Holy Road. Without Gu Sheng, their casualties would have been catastrophic.

With revenge now within reach, their battle lust ignited as they hunted down the retreating Holy Land disciples.

The Six Great Holy Lands' disciples obsessed over flight, their will to fight shattered.

Demoralized and stumbling, they crumbled under Tianlan Sacred Land's assaults. One by one, they got caught and cut down.

Gongsun Yue shone brightest among them, longsword flashing as she weaved through foes. Each stroke felled another victim.

"Let me go, I can promise you anything." Kunpeng Taoist grasped his hopeless plight, no backup in sight.

He resorted to begging Gu Sheng, voice quaking, face etched with desperate pleas. Though humiliating, his heart ached fiercely.

For a haughty prodigy like him, groveling rivaled death itself. Yet to live and plot revenge against Gu Sheng, pride had to yield.

"Haha, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?" Gu Sheng sneered at Kunpeng Taoist's plea, scorn dripping from his words.

Kunpeng Taoist had long sneered down at him with lofty disdain. Now, the tables turned, force-feeding Kunpeng Taoist his own medicine.

"I do, I have a bargaining chip," Kunpeng Taoist shot back, brushing off Gu Sheng's mockery.

"Oh? What bargaining chip? Tell me." Curiosity sparked in Gu Sheng at this. He halted, eyeing Kunpeng Taoist expectantly.

"Don't you fancy Murong Qingcheng? I know she even came to annul her engagement with you." Kunpeng Taoist pressed, "Spare me, and I'll turn her into your plaything, yours to command."

Having said his piece, Kunpeng Taoist fixed on Gu Sheng, probing for the reaction that might save him.

A intrigued smile crept across Gu Sheng's face as he paused.

"How about it?" Kunpeng Taoist, spotting the smile, sensed an opening and pushed harder.

"You are so confident that you can make her listen to you, become a toy for me?" Gu Sheng noted, amusement lacing his grin.

Some link existed between Kunpeng Taoist and Murong Qingcheng, though its details eluded Gu Sheng.

"Yes, I am confident." Kunpeng Taoist affirmed boldly.

His thoughts raced through every angle to sway Gu Sheng. This was his final shot; failure meant certain doom today.

Gu Sheng had long wondered about Kunpeng Taoist and Murong Qingcheng's bond—romance or otherwise?

Kunpeng Taoist's pitch struck right at Gu Sheng's intrigue, fueling his interest.

"Alright then, give it a try." Gu Sheng grinned, dangling slim hope before Kunpeng Taoist. The offhand tone masked layers others couldn't pierce.

"Gu Sheng, what are you doing?"

Gongsun Yue frowned in bewilderment at Gu Sheng's apparent concession. She'd never pegged him as swayed by feminine charms.

Tianxuan Divine Girl and Bixuan shot Gu Sheng puzzled looks, sizing him up. Murong Qingcheng's stunning allure fit a Tianlan Sacred Land Holy Daughter.

Yet Gu Sheng's character suggested he'd never let lust cloud key judgments.

"Is Xiao still thinking about Murong Qingcheng the traitor?"

Zhan Yongchang muttered close by, a hint of irritation in his voice.

Murong Qingcheng's betrayal had wrought havoc on Tianlan Sacred Land. Even under Second Elder's shield, her return spelled trouble.

Gongsun Yue outranked her; if Gongsun Yue pressed charges, dire punishment awaited, short of execution.

Should Gu Sheng take Murong Qingcheng and free Kunpeng Taoist, it'd tarnish his name badly. The Second Elder could exploit it.

"Fine, it's as you said."

Kunpeng Taoist had thrown it out as a desperate gamble, doubts high, yet Gu Sheng accepted the wild offer without hesitation. The ease shocked him.

No time for second thoughts—he fixated on survival here. Only alive could vengeance against Gu Sheng brew.

Death meant total defeat, all past schemes wasted.

"Murong Qingcheng, come here quickly!"

Kunpeng Taoist yelled at the fleeing Murong Qingcheng.

She'd caught their exchange, terror driving her wild flight to avoid Gu Sheng's clutches and torment.

"You useless person!"

Murong Qingcheng spat curses at Kunpeng Taoist, legs pumping in relentless escape.

Refining Dragon Saintess matched her stride nearby, panic clear. Their grave offenses against Gu Sheng doomed them post-Kunpeng Taoist; she fled at full tilt.
