Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1556 - 801: Buying Your Life

Three men in black landed on the branch of an ancient tree, the leader holding a pitch-black long spear with a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Boss, why doesn’t this kid dodge?"

The shorter man in black on the left asked in a low voice.

"Hmph, just arrogant self-confidence."

The leader in black sneered.

"Our combined technique of the ’Black Evil Three Extremes Spear’ can’t be withstanded by even a body cultivator in the Golden Body Realm, he is undoubtedly dead."

As the dust gradually dissipated, the expressions on the trio’s faces suddenly froze.

Gu Sheng stood intact at the original spot, his robe shattered but his exposed skin showed not a single scar, glimmering faint golden in the sunlight.

"This... this is impossible!"

The man in black on the right exclaimed in shock.

The leader’s pupils contracted, his voice trembling slightly.

"Golden Body Realm... no, stronger than an ordinary Golden Body Realm!"

Gu Sheng patted the dust off his body, looking up at the three, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

"Is this all you can do?"

The three exchanged glances, each seeing the fear in the other’s eyes.

The leader in black made a decisive decision.

"Retreat!"

The three silhouettes instantly dispersed, speeding off in different directions.

"Trying to escape?"

Gu Sheng snorted coldly, his right foot lightly tapping the ground.

"Boom!"

The ground cracked, and Gu Sheng’s form shot out like a missile, catching up in the blink of an eye to the slowest man, the shorter one in black.

"No... don’t kill me!"

The man in black turned around in terror, hastily thrusting his long spear.

Gu Sheng casually swung his hand, the spear snapped with a sound, and he followed with a palm strike to the man’s chest.

"Puff!"

The man in black spewed a mouthful of blood, flying backward like a severed kite, coming to a halt after crashing through several large trees, already on the brink of death.

Gu Sheng didn’t stop, his form twisting as he pursued the second target.

The second man in black heard the sound of breaking air behind him, gritted his teeth and pulled out a talisman from his chest, crushing it fiercely.

"Black Evil Escape Talisman!"

A cloud of black mist exploded, and the man’s speed suddenly multiplied.

"Petty trick."

Gold light surged in Gu Sheng’s eyes, his speed not decreasing but increasing, closing the distance within a few breaths.

The man in black glanced back, terrified as if he’d seen a monster.

"What kind of monster is this!"

Gu Sheng struck out a palm mid-air, Qi Force invisibly hitting the man’s back from a distance.

The man in black cried out in pain, slammed heavily to the ground, sliding dozens of meters, unable to get up.

The last leader in black had already fled hundreds of meters, about to disappear into the dense forest.

Gu Sheng’s Qi-Blood surged within him, his leg muscles suddenly tensed.

"Bang!"

A residual shadow was left in place, Gu Sheng’s true form had already appeared in front of the leader in black, standing with hands behind his back.

The man halted suddenly, pale-faced.

"You... you..."

"Had enough running?"

Gu Sheng asked calmly.

There was a fierce glint in the man’s eyes as he suddenly drew a short knife from his waist, slicing his palm, instantly dyeing the blade red with blood.

"Blood Evil Slash!"

A bloody Blade Aura struck towards Gu Sheng, its power several times stronger than the previous spear aura.

Gu Sheng still didn’t dodge, allowing the Blade Aura to slash his chest.

"Clang!"

The sound of clanging metal echoed as the bloody Blade Aura dispersed, leaving only a fleeting white mark on Gu Sheng’s skin.

"This..."

The man in black was utterly desperate, the short knife clattering to the ground.

Gu Sheng approached step by step, with each step the man retreated until his back was pressed against a large tree, nowhere left to retreat.

"Now, can we talk properly?"

Gu Sheng’s voice was frighteningly calm.

The man in black swallowed hard.

"What... what do you want to know?"

"Who sent you?"

Gu Sheng was blunt.

The man hesitated for a moment, Gu Sheng’s eyes flashed coldly, his right hand gripping the man’s throat like lightning, lifting him off the ground.

"I’ll tell... I’ll tell..."

The man in black struggled to squeeze out the words.

Gu Sheng loosened his grip slightly, and the man fell to the ground, coughing violently.

"We are from the Heisha Sect... received a bounty mission from the Great Wilderness Holy Academy..."

The man in black gasped.

"Someone paid thirty million High-grade Spirit Stones... for your head..."

Gu Sheng’s brows furrowed.

"The Great Wilderness Holy Academy?"

He had indeed offended some people recently, but hadn’t expected to provoke the Great Wilderness Holy Academy into issuing a bounty.

The Great Wilderness Holy Academy is one of the top powers in the Eastern Domain, always mysterious.

"Who is the employer?"

Gu Sheng pressed on.

The man shook his head.

"I don’t know... the Great Wilderness Holy Academy never discloses the details of the bounty... we Heisha Sect just take the money and do the job..."

Gu Sheng stared into the man’s eyes, confirming he wasn’t lying before continuing to ask.

"How did you find me?"

"The employer gave us this Token..."

The leader’s voice was hoarse, trembling as he pulled out a jade token from his chest.

The jade token glimmered with a cold light in the moonlight, intricate patterns carved on its surface, faint black energy swirling about.

Gu Sheng’s gaze sharpened as he took the Token.

The moment his fingertips touched the jade, a chilling spiritual power coiled around, like a venomous snake, resonating subtly within a certain part of his body.

"This is..."

Gu Sheng frowned slightly, the Soul Power of Immortal Emperor level sweeping over his Sea of Consciousness, discovering barely detectable black energy in the corner of his Dantian.

"Luo Qian’s residual soul?"

Gu Sheng’s eyes flashed coldly.

He recalled the scene of killing Luo Qian in the valley that day, the opponent’s eerie smile at the moment of death now finally answered.

"Clever trick."

Gu Sheng sneered, his fingers suddenly clenching.

The jade token shattered, a wisp of black smoke burst forth, twisting and transforming mid-air into Luo Qian’s menacing face.

"Gu Sheng... you can’t escape..."
