Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1250 - 649: Heaven-breaking Fist

Gu Sheng let out a cold sneer, materializing directly before Yu Wenbai and driving his fist through the man's chest!

A spray of blood erupted as Yu Wenbai's eyes snapped wide open. He stared down at the gaping wound in his torso before collapsing limply to the ground.

Yu Wenbai, an expert of the Early Stage Heavenly Palace Realm – dead!

Calming the turbulent Qi and blood within him, Gu Sheng scanned his surroundings to ensure no other threats lingered before swiftly exiting the chaotic pile of strange rocks.

He had barely taken a few steps when an intense killing intent suddenly descended upon him!

"You brat, where do you think you're running?!"

Zhang Zhishang charged forward, wielding a fan and radiating murderous intent, his gaze ferocious.

He mistakenly believed Gu Sheng had managed to evade Zhang Zuo and Yu Wenbai, intending to make a solo escape. He remained utterly oblivious that both had already met their demise!

"Heh, another one coming to seek death."

Gu Sheng smirked, holding his ground and calmly anticipating Zhang Zhishang's approach.

"Perish!"

Zhang Zhishang unleashed his fan, summoning a barrage of Wind Blades that hurtled directly towards Gu Sheng!

Just as the Wind Blades were about to make contact, Gu Sheng's figure vanished without a trace!

"What?!"

Zhang Zhishang cried out in shock, spinning around frantically. However, he found Gu Sheng already positioned behind him, his right fist ablaze with golden light as the Heaven-breaking Fist descended with explosive force!

"Bang!"

Zhang Zhishang's head was driven straight into his chest, and his lifeless body crashed to the ground!

Zhang Zhishang, an expert of the Early Stage Heavenly Palace Realm – dead!

"Hu..."

Gu Sheng's complexion turned slightly pallid.

Having consecutively vanquished three Heavenly Palace Realm experts, even his formidable physique bore signs of exhaustion.

"Let's go!"

He motioned to Ling Xiao, who had been concealed in the shadows, and they quickly retreated from the scene.

The pair fled at high speed until they were certain they had completely outdistanced any potential pursuers, at which point they found refuge within a secluded cave.

"You... you actually killed Zhang Zuo?!"

Ling Xiao's voice quivered slightly.

"But he was Late Stage Heavenly Palace Realm!"

Gu Sheng settled into a cross-legged position and began regulating his breathing with his Cultivation Technique, replying calmly.

"The oppressive environment within the strange rock formation significantly hindered cultivators who aren't Body Refiners. I simply exploited the circumstances."

Ling Xiao suddenly grasped the implication.

"No wonder you dared to lure them into that trap!"

Gu Sheng closed his eyes to focus on his recovery, offering no verbal response.

Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment before posing another question.

"What are your plans now? The Luotian Sect will surely not let this matter rest."

Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes.

"Once I've fully recovered, I intend to... eliminate the remaining ones."

Ling Xiao couldn't help but shudder as he met Gu Sheng's ice-cold gaze.

He understood that Gu Sheng was not making an idle threat.

"Hu—"

After a considerable interval,

Gu Sheng exhaled a deep breath and gradually opened his eyes.

The recuperative capabilities of the Heavenly Saint Body were truly astounding; in just under an hour, his previously depleted vitality had largely been restored.

He clenched his fists, feeling the surge of power coursing through his muscles once more.

"They're approaching."

Ling Xiao crouched low behind a jagged boulder, his voice barely a whisper.

"There are at least seven or eight individuals. They appear to be sweeping the outer perimeter."

Gu Sheng silently moved to Ling Xiao's side, peering through a narrow crevice in the rocks.

Under the veil of moonlight, several figures could be seen traversing the disorienting rock formation about a hundred meters away. They were clad in the distinctive dark robes of the Luotian Sect, and the sect's jade emblems adorning their waists glinted faintly in the gloom.

"Nine."

Gu Sheng rapidly assessed the enemy count.

"Their leader is Gong Xuefeng, a cultivator at the Peak Heavenly Palace Realm. He's accompanied by three Late Stage, two Early Stage, and three Initial Stage cultivators."

Ling Xiao swallowed audibly.

"If we engage them directly..."

"Who said I intended to fight head-on?"

Gu Sheng let out another cold smirk.

"This terrain is our advantage."

He gestured towards the deeper recesses of the stone forest.

"You should conceal yourself in that crevice we used before. No matter what transpires, do not emerge."

"You're planning to face them all by yourself?"

Ling Xiao impulsively grasped Gu Sheng's wrist.

"Are you out of your mind? There are nine Heavenly Palace Realm experts!"

Gu Sheng gently disengaged Ling Xiao's hand.

"Nine cultivators separated, not nine acting in unison."

"Here, within this formation, their full strength cannot be realized."

Distant shouts echoed, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

The Luotian Sect members had evidently discovered some tracks and were now closing in.

"There's no time. Go now!"

Gu Sheng propelled Ling Xiao forward.

"Remember, unless I specifically call for you, do not come out!"

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, then turned and disappeared into the depths of the Stone Forest.

Gu Sheng deliberately stepped on a dry twig, producing a sharp "crack."

"Over there!"

An urgent voice immediately pierced the air.

Gu Sheng feigned a panicked retreat, plunging deeper into the heart of the Stone Forest. His gait appeared awkward, yet each movement landed with uncanny precision on pre-selected stepping stones.

"Pursue him! Do not allow him to escape!" Gong Xuefeng's enraged bellow reverberated from behind.

Without even glancing back, Gu Sheng sensed the hot pursuit of at least three individuals, all charging into the Stone Forest. This was precisely the desired outcome – to divide his adversaries and overcome them one by one.

Within the labyrinthine Stone Forest, colossal obsidian columns, resembling the sharpened fangs of ancient beasts, were jumbled together in a chaotic disarray. Gu Sheng weaved through the narrow passages, forcing his pursuers to decelerate their advance.

"Damnation, this area is far too confined!"

"Disperse and give chase!"

"You two, take the left flank; I will continue directly after him!"

Gu Sheng overheard the order to split their forces, a cunning glint appearing in his eyes. He deliberately reduced his speed, allowing his pursuers to catch sight of his retreating form, effectively luring them further into the maze.

"After him! That brat is just ahead!" Liao Feiyu surged forward, his nostrils flaring as he detected the faint trace of blood in the air. His eyes emanated a dim crimson glow in the encroaching darkness, a terrifying manifestation of the Luotian Sect's renowned "Blood Evil Skill."

"Be cautious, there's an unsettling feeling about this place," Kong Zhemao cautioned, closely trailing behind.

"Wei Feng and the others might have met their demise here."

"Absurd!" Liao Feiyu scoffed, his gaze fixed ahead.

"Wei Feng and those weaklings are no match for us. Moreover, if anyone had truly perished here, would we not sense even a wisp of their aura?"
