Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1190 - 619: Hard Not to Be Moved

Anger contorted the Great Elder’s calm visage as he bellowed, "Seventh Elder, do not obstruct me! The Second Elder has gone too far today!"

Right before the conflict could explode, a voice hoarse with age echoed from far away, "Second Elder, do not bully the young, what skill is there in oppressing the younger generation!"

The Second Elder sneered with chill disdain, refusing to halt and instead accelerating the downward pressure on Gu Sheng. He dismissed it as mere empty bluster from a reckless fool.

Gu Sheng found himself completely pinned down, immobile in the slightest, powerless even to shield his sister Gu Yu behind him.

Terror filled Gu Yu’s heart, tears welling in her eyes as she cried out in a voice choked with sobs:

"Brother!"

Gu Sheng desperately channeled his inner cultivation technique, struggling to escape the horrifying suppression.

Pouring every ounce of his power, a mystical artifact known as the Ancient Reincarnation Bell emerged from his body, radiating a plain yet profound light to counter the massive hand.

Against the Second Elder’s overwhelming might, the Ancient Reincarnation Bell was instantly slammed into the earth by an unseen force upon its emergence, sending dust billowing everywhere, utterly ineffective.

Overwhelmed by hopelessness, Gu Sheng peered inward, where the long-dormant Taiji Hunyuan Heavenly Book abruptly burst forth with celestial radiance, stirring to life.

Gu Sheng recalled a prior desperate moment when this Heavenly Book had rescued him from doom.

Inside the Heavenly Book floated three clusters of black mist aglow with Dao Light; previously, one mist had vanished to pull him from peril. It stood as his sole salvation now, despite the risk of revealing its mysteries and inviting worse calamities, leaving him no alternative.

Just as Gu Sheng steeled himself to unleash everything, a fierce disturbance tore through the Void, and a figure ripped open space with bare hands, arriving dramatically. It was Daoist Xiushan, fury blazing on his face, roaring, "Second Elder, cease your arrogance!"

The Second Elder’s expression soured as he glared at Daoist Xiushan, demanding icily, "Xiushan, what do you mean by this? Would you offend me over a junior?"

Daoist Xiushan responded gravely, "Second Elder, the Holy Master has already instructed to focus on cultivating this boy Gu Sheng, I cannot watch him die by your hand today."

Killing intent surged wildly in the Second Elder’s heart, his aura exploding as he snarled, "Very well, very well! In that case, do not blame me for being impolite!"

He lunged at Daoist Xiushan, warping space itself with his ferocious momentum wherever he advanced. Even the Great Elder nearby dared not take this dominant force lightly.

Witnessing the Second Elder’s assault, Daoist Xiushan’s rage boiled over. He strode into the Void, advancing step by step toward the Second Elder. Each footfall birthed a colossal rift below him, while his own aura skyrocketed uncontrollably.

One step, two steps... Upon Daoist Xiushan’s eighth stride, his presence—immense as if devouring mountains and rivers—unfurled, leaving the assembled elders slack-jawed in astonishment.

The Second Elder’s savage attack faltered abruptly, his breaths growing labored as he finally felt a deadly peril emanating from Daoist Xiushan.

Daoist Xiushan bellowed deeply, "The ninth step!"

The Second Elder, who had been utterly dominating Gu Sheng, froze at the cry, his steady demeanor shattering into horror. He reflexively glanced up at Daoist Xiushan, panic flooding his eyes.

With the ninth step, Daoist Xiushan’s form unleashed a terrifying aura, his ordinary robes whipping ferociously, his momentum dominating half the heavens.

An archaic dragon’s roar thundered forth, brimming with boundless majesty and might, rattling every soul present.

Daoist Xiushan gripped his right fist, strands of enigmatic energy coiling around it, then unleashed a punch that upheaved the cosmos. The pristine azure sky darkened to ochre, winds howled, and debris hurtled through the air.

The Second Elder’s suppressing palm shattered explosively under this devastating strike.

The blast’s shockwave surged outward like a raging tsunami. Caught defenseless, the Second Elder was hurled thousands of meters away, vanishing in an instant, barely avoiding ejection from the Holy Land Peak entirely.

Daoist Xiushan harrumphed disdainfully, unmoved by the erupting backlash. His protective aura swirled, enduring the onslaught firmly. He pivoted slightly, blocking Gu Sheng securely behind him to keep the youth unscathed.

The observing Great Elder and Seventh Elder staggered back several paces from the shockwave’s fury.

The Great Elder’s robes billowed wildly in the gale; regaining his footing, he stared at Daoist Xiushan in stunned disbelief, eyes wide with shock.

The Seventh Elder’s eyes bulged, mouth hanging open, utterly speechless from the jaw-dropping display.

Collecting himself, the Great Elder turned to Daoist Xiushan and inquired, "Xiushan, what you just displayed, was it the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique?"

The Seventh Elder fixed his puzzled gaze on Daoist Xiushan as well, unfamiliar with this martial art.

Daoist Xiushan affirmed gravely, "Indeed, it is the Azure Dragon Ten Steps Technique."

The Great Elder elaborated, "This is a Holy-level Martial Technique that Xiushan obtained years ago during his training outside. It’s extremely difficult to cultivate, and it is said that few have ever mastered it throughout history. I didn’t expect you to have reached such a level, Xiushan."

Daoist Xiushan cast a challenging glance toward the Second Elder’s vanished direction.

The Second Elder’s disheveled form staggered back into view. His garments hung in shreds, hair disarrayed, aura fluctuating erratically, though his gaze burned with defiant resentment.
