Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1165 606: Annihilate Your Entire Clan (Part 2)

Kunpeng Taoist felt astonishment at Gu Sheng's declaration. Yet, with his life on the line, he had no option but to comply. He compelled his weakened frame forward, advancing step after laborious step toward the fainted Murong Qingcheng.

His footing wavered unsteadily, with every single step draining away all remaining vigor.

Gu Sheng observed from the sidelines, detached as if the scene didn't concern him at all. He merely watched in silence as Kunpeng Taoist toiled onward.

The Tianlan Sacred Land disciples halted their chase, uniformly shifting their attention to Murong Qingcheng.

Toward their Sacred Land's Holy Daughter, complex emotions stirred within them. Numerous had once admired her greatly, yet her deeds inside the Sacred Land were utterly inexcusable.

"If Brother Xiao handles her execution personally, it could spark major issues. Having Kunpeng Taoist take her out is actually a smart move."

Luo Jun remarked with a grin. Murong Qingcheng's downfall stemmed purely from her own misdeeds.

The nearby disciples agreed with nods, brimming with righteous fury, none showing the slightest pity for Murong Qingcheng.

Gongsun Yue alone harbored the desire to finish Murong Qingcheng off herself.

While Kunpeng Taoist inched closer to Murong Qingcheng step by step, disciples from the other Sacred Lands didn't remain idle.

They grasped the opportunity, stealthily creeping toward the Immortal Temple's exit. With Qiankun Venerate King already vanquished and Kunpeng Taoist cornered desperately by Gu Sheng, escape was their sole focus.

At last, Kunpeng Taoist arrived beside Murong Qingcheng. He reached out, hoisting her from the ground. Whispering incantations, he activated his cultivation technique, channeling Spiritual Power into her body to rouse her from stupor.

Right as all believed events would unfold smoothly, an abrupt twist unfolded.

The formerly insensate Murong Qingcheng abruptly snapped her eyes open. Her right hand, unnoticed before, clutched a petite crimson dagger radiating subtle Mystic Fire. With savage force, she plunged it deep into Kunpeng Taoist's abdomen.

A agonized scream escaped Kunpeng Taoist, rage exploding within him. Reacting on impulse, he smashed his fist into Murong Qingcheng's visage.

The blow landed with devastating might, mangling her once-beautiful features and ballooning her face grotesquely.

Still, Kunpeng Taoist's wrath raged unchecked. He unleashed a barrage of punches, unleashing his pent-up fury upon Murong Qingcheng.

Beaten until she teetered on the brink of death, barely clinging to life, Murong Qingcheng nonetheless wore a faint smirk at her lips.

Clutching his gushing wound with one hand, Kunpeng Taoist seized Murong Qingcheng's arm with the other, hurling her forcefully in Gu Sheng's direction.

Gu Sheng, who had spectated the chaotic spectacle indifferently, took grim pleasure in seeing both Murong Qingcheng and Kunpeng Taoist inflict wounds on one another.

However, his eyelid flickered, a strange foreboding surging through his chest.

On pure instinct, he glanced toward Kunpeng Taoist's position, only for the airborne Murong Qingcheng to obstruct his line of sight.

He swiftly extended his divine sense, probing the vicinity. In moments, he sensed a tumultuous primordial energy erupting wildly near Kunpeng Taoist.

Before anyone could respond, a startled yelp echoed from elsewhere.

Gu Sheng whipped his head around, eyes blazing with murderous intent. Kunpeng Taoist had mysteriously relocated, and now Luo Jun, Zhan Yongchang, and Shou Chengyun lay sprawled, their forms wracked by violent spasms.

Soul Power from Kunpeng Taoist had ambushed them all, ravaging their Sea of Consciousness. He maintained a vise-like hold on Gongsun Yue.

"Release her!"

Shock and fury gripped Gu Sheng. He hadn't anticipated Kunpeng Taoist possessing such a hidden trump, erupting with astonishing velocity out of nowhere.

"Heh, did you truly believe I'd be foolish enough to trust your mercy?"

Kunpeng Taoist scoffed mockingly.

From Gu Sheng's handling of Murong Qingcheng, he had already perceived that Gu Sheng was no benevolent soul but a spiteful, merciless fiend. Seizing Gongsun Yue offered him bargaining power against Gu Sheng and a shot at survival.

"Release me, or I snap her neck!"

Kunpeng Taoist's expression twisted savagely. He tightened his chokehold on Gongsun Yue's throat, her face turning crimson with agony. Simultaneously, he channeled his Soul Power to corrode her Sea of Consciousness deliberately.

A piercing headache assaulted Gongsun Yue, her mind blurring amid the excruciating torment.

Kunpeng Taoist understood perfectly that this restrained her resistance while subjecting her to hellish suffering.

"Free me, and I'll free her."

Gu Sheng bellowed furiously at Kunpeng Taoist.

Witnessing Gongsun Yue's torment filled him with dread, terrified of further harm from Kunpeng Taoist.

Gongsun Yue and the Holy Mother had always shown him exceptional kindness. He refused to let Gongsun Yue suffer calamity on his account.

"You cherish her deeply."

Kunpeng Taoist astutely caught Gu Sheng's attachment to Gongsun Yue. A vicious grin spread across his features.

"Now, shatter your own legs here and now. Else, I'll shatter her cultivation base, reducing her to trash."

Pressing his dominance, Kunpeng Taoist issued an outrageous demand. "Do it now!"

Noticing Gu Sheng's lingering doubt, Kunpeng Taoist squeezed Gongsun Yue's neck with even greater ferocity.

"Fine."

Gu Sheng clenched his jaw and yielded at last.

"Gu Sheng, don't! Crippling your legs means slow recovery. Should Kunpeng Taoist come back, the fallout would be dire."

Tianxuan Divine Girl warned urgently from nearby.

Though Qiankun Venerate King had slipped away from the Immortal Temple in the turmoil, his potential return for slaughter remained unknown.

Gu Sheng alone could counter Qiankun Venerate King. Legs broken would sap his power, leaving none to stand against him.

Yet turmoil churned within Gu Sheng. As Tianxuan Divine Girl highlighted the hidden threat, his gaze locked on Gongsun Yue ensnared by Kunpeng Taoist close by, erasing all doubt and turmoil.

With Gongsun Yue firmly in Kunpeng Taoist's clutches, it struck at Gu Sheng's vital core. He couldn't abandon her fate.

Regret gnawed at him as he muttered inwardly, "My fault entirely. Had I acted more ruthlessly against this Kunpeng Taoist from the start, this disaster wouldn't have befallen."

"I misjudged his tricks, endangering Gongsun Yue. I must pay this cost."

Resolved, Gu Sheng hardened his will. Seizing his legs, two sharp "crack" echoes rang out as he snapped them himself.

Agonizing torment flooded his frame, sweat pouring in rivulets down his brow and drenching his robes, but he clamped down on his tongue, stifling all screams.

Beholding Gu Sheng's compliance, Kunpeng Taoist erupted in triumphant cackles, his countenance swollen with smugness.

In his iron grip, Gongsun Yue writhed in anguish, yet Kunpeng Taoist's hold proved unbreakable. Each twist only invited fresh Soul Power assaults, drawing faint pained whimpers from her.

Seeing Gongsun Yue's ordeal, anxiety consumed Gu Sheng as he roared at Kunpeng Taoist: "I've fulfilled your demand—now release her!" Her well-being dominated his thoughts, his desperation evident to all.

But Kunpeng Taoist merely sneered, retorting, "I vowed only to spare her foundation if you crippled your legs—I never promised to let her go."

"You..."

Gu Sheng teetered on the edge of frenzy.

Tianxuan Divine Girl could no longer stay composed, jabbing a finger at Kunpeng Taoist with venomous menace: "Free her, or I eradicate your entire clan!"

Usually poised and regal, Tianxuan Divine Girl cast aside restraint for Gongsun Yue, delivering a brutal threat outright.

Kunpeng Taoist remained unmoved, chuckling defiantly, "Haha, at this stage, do you think I give a damn about that?"
