Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1264 - 656: Helping Me?

Within the fiery embrace of crimson flames, Gu Sheng's eyes blazed, his speed escalating threefold!

He violently tore through the myriad obstacles, accelerating to a mere hundred meters from the Supreme Treasure Sword!

"Boom!"

A thunderous dragon's roar suddenly reverberated through the heavens and earth.

Gu Sheng craned his neck to witness both the sun and the moon suspended concurrently in the sky.

The resplendent yang pure sun and the yin supremely evil blood moon mirrored each other, unleashing peculiar yet potent energy.

"This is..."

Gu Sheng's heart pounded violently. The soul body hovering above the treasure sword became astonishingly distinct, an overpowering summons flooding his mind.

"Come... hasten here..."

This beckoning ignited Gu Sheng's blood, and he forcefully suppressed his frantically beating heart, pressing onward against mounting pressure.

Each step felt as if treading upon sharpened blades.

"Senior Brother Wang! That brat is nearing the treasure sword!"

The man clad in black urgently cautioned, a flicker of unease crossing his features.

Wang Xiu Jie, however, let out a series of sneers.

"What are you afraid of? With his pathetic cultivation, even if he obtains the treasure sword, he cannot wield its might!"

"But..."

Another cultivator voiced their hesitation.

"What if the treasure sword still contains residual power..."

"Fool!"

Wang Xiu Jie sharply interjected.

"A Divine Artifact of such caliber, his physique cannot possibly withstand it! To force it will only result in his annihilation!"

These words offered some solace to the onlookers, yet they continued to regard Gu Sheng with wary apprehension.

Observing this, Wang Xiu Jie's tone grew even more contemptuous.

"What, intimidated by a man on his deathbed? Continue your assault! I wish to witness him crawl towards the final vestiges of hope, only to personally shatter his aspirations!"

Relentless attacks, now more vicious than ever, assailed Gu Sheng once more.

Sword Qi, talismans, and spells descended like rain, causing the Blood River to churn turbidly.

Gu Sheng absorbed several blows, his body erupting in blooms of scarlet.

Stumbling several paces, he stubbornly refused to yield, instead leveraging the momentum to surge forward anew.

"Hahaha! Look at that fallen mongrel!"

Wang Xiu Jie's subordinates erupted in boisterous laughter.

"Crawl! Keep crawling!"

The metallic tang of blood assailed Gu Sheng's senses, and the inferno of rage within his chest burned with increased intensity.

He suddenly spun around, his blood-streaked face contorted into a ghastly visage.

"If I survive this day... I shall make you repay me a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"

This chilling, bone-piercing declaration abruptly stifled all laughter.

Despite Gu Sheng clearly being at his absolute limit, his words inexplicably sent shivers down their spines.

"Seeking your own demise!"

Wang Xiu Jie roared in fury, unleashing a ten-zhang Blade Aura with his golden long blade, striking Gu Sheng's back!

"Slash!"

Gu Sheng's back tore open, exposing bone as blood erupted violently.

He let out a pained groan, falling to one knee, yet his hands stubbornly supported his frame, preventing a complete collapse.

"Gu Sheng!"

From a distance, the Qinghe Saintess cried out, instinctively moving to rush forward, but was abruptly pulled back by a member of the Dragon Palace.

"Holy Daughter! Have you lost your mind?" the Dragon Palace figure hissed lowly.

"To go now would be to throw your own life away!"

The Holy Daughter seemed to awaken as if from a trance, yet the deep concern in her eyes remained visible.

Amidst the Blood River, Gu Sheng trembled as he righted himself, continuing his arduous trek toward the treasure sword.

Ninety meters, eighty meters, seventy meters... the distance steadily dwindled!

At this critical juncture, Lv Feng finally caught up with a contingent of cultivators.

Unlike Wang Xiu Jie's group, their intentions were unequivocally lethal; their attacks were aimed at outright termination!

"Boom!"

A vibrant red Fire Whip lashed out, narrowly missing Gu Sheng's complete severance at the waist!

He managed to narrowly evade a fatal blow, but his left arm was severely lacerated, left a bloody ruin.

"Lv Feng! What are you doing?"

Wang Xiu Jie bellowed, his voice laced with indignation.

"He is my quarry!"

Lv Feng sneered coldly.

"Wang Xiu Jie, do you truly believe I am ignorant of your schemes? Prepare the formation!"

At her command, cultivators from the Qinghe Holy Land swiftly assembled into a peculiar Battle Array, remarkably similar in seven aspects to Wang Xiu Jie's own!

"You've learned my Supreme Immortal Sect's Battle Array?"

Wang Xiu Jie's countenance darkened considerably.

"Learned?"

Lv Feng scoffed with disdain.

"That flawed formation is even worthy of study?"

She then turned towards the other assembled cultivators, her voice resonating loudly.

"Everyone! Wang Xiu Jie's formation relies entirely on Spirit Stones; simply prolong the engagement until the Spirit Stones are depleted, and the formation will collapse on its own!"

These revelations caused Wang Xiu Jie's expression to shift dramatically.

"Bitch! You court death!"

Disregarding Gu Sheng entirely, he swung his golden long blade furiously towards Lv Feng!

Lv Feng, however, was prepared for his onslaught, deftly evading with her movement technique while continuing to taunt Wang Xiu Jie.

"What? Did I hit a nerve? Everyone can see through your petty schemes! You intend to hoard the secrets Gu Sheng possesses all by yourself?"

Wang Xiu Jie was completely enraged, yet trapped in a difficult situation.

If he were to pursue Lv Feng, Gu Sheng would become an easy target for others; if he didn't chase, this woman would undoubtedly sabotage his plans!

While he was caught in indecision, the array's golden luminescence indeed began to weaken, the consumption of Spirit Stones far exceeding what was anticipated.

"Hahaha!"

Lv Feng erupted in loud laughter.

"Wang Xiu Jie, your demise is imminent!"

Her triumphant laughter completely ignited Wang Xiu Jie's fury.

"Lv Feng! You despicable woman, you'll meet a terrible end!"

One of Wang Xiu Jie's subordinates let out a ferocious roar, his longsword flashing with a chilling light.

Another immediately summoned a Magical Treasure, bellowing harshly, "Weren't you abandoning us too when the monsters attacked? Now you put on a show of righteousness!"

The cultivators allied with Lv Feng merely smirked, completely disregarding these accusations.

From their distant vantage points, the Loose Cultivators and other influential figures watched with glee, hoping both factions would annihilate each other.

"Fight, fight until you all perish!"

A Loose Cultivator with an eye patch sinisterly muttered.

"It would be best if you all died and stopped competing with me for these opportunities!"

Wang Xiu Jie's fists clenched tightly, emitting crackling sounds as if they were transforming into tangible flames.

The man clad in black beside him spoke in a low voice, "Senior Brother, the Spirit Stones can only sustain the formation for about an hour more..."

"Silence!"

Wang Xiu Jie bellowed fiercely.
