Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1561 - 803: A Great Opportunity (Part 2)

The black energy roiled, faintly echoing with wails of ghosts and wolves, disrupting the mind and corroding True Qi.

The power of the array temporarily united the auras of those Sect Realm experts, their oppressive force surged, and countless shadows of ghost hands condensed within the black energy, overwhelming towards the center where Gu Sheng stood.

Zhao Boyang’s expression changed dramatically.

"Not good! It’s the Ye Family’s Black Evil Array! This array can trap and kill, extremely difficult to deal with! Brother Gu is in danger!"

He could no longer care about regulating his breath, forcibly circulating True Qi, and shouted to his subordinates.

"Follow me to attack the array and help Brother Gu escape!"

Just as they were about to move, the figures of two elders beside Ye Changling, who had remained motionless, flickered and blocked their path.

These two had deep auras, actually possessing Peak Sect Realm cultivation.

"Zhao Boyang, your opponents are us."

One of the withered elders spoke sinisterly.

Zhao Boyang’s heart sank; being stopped by two equally powerful experts, injured as he was, he couldn’t break through to rescue Gu Sheng.

Within the array, black energy filled the air, heavy with ghostly shadows, drastically weakening sight and perception.

Countless ghost hands reached out, carrying a piercing cold and corrosive force.

Gu Sheng stood still, his brows slightly furrowed.

The aura of this array made him somewhat uncomfortable.

A faint golden glow emerged on the surface of his body, and the ghost hands grabbing at the golden light emitted a "sizzling" sound, unable to penetrate, instead being burned away by the golden glow.

"Interesting."

Gu Sheng murmured to himself.

He had never cultivated any advanced Body Refining Techniques; this golden glow was purely a Protective Divine Gang naturally manifested as his physical body and Qi-Blood reached a certain strength.

He lifted his foot and then stomped the ground fiercely!

The entire ground shook violently.

An unimaginably terrifying force erupted outward from his foot in all directions!

Cracks appeared in the earth, deep and bottomless, with the raging force directly impacting the Sect Realm experts constituting the array foundation.

The Sect Realm experts maintaining the array spewed blood wildly, their figures staggering, and their handprints were instantly interrupted.

The connected black energy fluctuated violently, then collapsed with a thunderous crash!

The Black Evil Array was broken!

The backlash left the Sect Realm experts wounded upon wounded, fallen all around, wailing incessantly.

Amidst the swirling dust, Gu Sheng’s figure slowly emerged, the golden light around him not yet fully receded, his eyes cold as blades, stepping towards the stunned and pale-faced Ye Changling.

The two elders blocking Zhao Boyang also looked aghast, instinctively guarding in front of Ye Changling, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Who... what are you really?"

Ye Changling’s voice was dry, carrying an irrepressible tremor.

His greatest reliance, the Black Evil Array, was shattered by the opponent in such a brute and direct manner, completely breaking down his psychological defenses.

Gu Sheng did not answer, his gaze bypassed the two elders, landing directly on Ye Changling.

Under this gaze, Ye Changling felt a chill down his spine, as if being watched by death itself, his legs weak, almost unable to stand.

"Protect the young master!"

The withered elder shouted fiercely, and together with the other fat elder, exploded with all their True Qi, the prestige of Peak Sect Realm unleashed without reservation, attacking Gu Sheng from left and right with all their might.

The withered elder’s five fingers formed a claw, aiming directly for Gu Sheng’s throat, black energy swirling at the fingertips, clearly venomous.

The fat elder struck with both palms, the palm wind heavy as a mountain, compressing the air explosively.

This was their all-out attack!

Faced with the combined assault of two Peak Sect Realm experts, Gu Sheng finally took it somewhat seriously.

He punched out with both fists, without any True Qi fluctuation, purely the power of his physical body tearing through the air, later but arriving first.

Bang! Bang!

Two muffled sounds almost simultaneously erupted.

Followed by the tooth-aching sound of bones cracking.

The withered elder’s five fingers collided with Gu Sheng’s fist, the finger bones shattered instantly, the entire arm twisting at a bizarre angle, screaming as he flew backward.

The fat elder’s palms clashed with Gu Sheng’s fists, only feeling an irresistible and immense force crushing along the arm, the arm bones snapping inch by inch, his bloated body was blasted away, crashing through several large trees before stopping, the condition unknown.

The entire place was deathly silent!

A fallen leaf could be heard.

Zhao Boyang and his subordinates were completely petrified, their mouths agape, unable to utter a single sound.

Ye Changling watched in horror as the two peak sect masters sent by the family to protect him were instantly killed. His last line of mental defense completely collapsed, and his pants were instantly soaked, a foul odor spreading around.

He collapsed on the ground, scrambling backward with his hands and feet, his face full of endless fear.

"No... don’t come over! I... I am of the Ye Family’s direct lineage! If you kill me, the Ye Family will never let you go! They will hunt you to the ends of the earth until you die!"

He screamed shrilly, his voice distorted by the extreme terror.

Gu Sheng walked up to him step by step, looking down at him, his gaze still calm, yet more frightening to Ye Changling than any fierce glare.

"I originally didn’t want to cause any trouble."

Gu Sheng finally spoke, his voice flat but with a chilling coldness.

"I just want to get to Wuya Ancient City as soon as possible."

"I... I was wrong! It’s my blind eyes that offended you! I beg... I beg you to spare my worthless life! I will take my men and leave immediately!"

Ye Changling’s tears and snot flowed, kowtowing like pounding garlic, completely lacking his previous arrogant demeanor.

His only thought now was survival.

Gu Sheng looked at his appearance and was silent for a moment.

He really did not want to complicate the situation further. Killing Ye Changling would bring endless trouble, severely affecting his schedule to save someone.

"Go."

Gu Sheng spat out a single word.

Ye Changling almost collapsed, scrambling and crawling to get up, not daring to look at Gu Sheng again, he shouted at those subordinates who could still move.

"Leave! Hurry up!"

The surviving sect realm experts were already terrified, struggling to support their severely injured companions, not even caring about the two old men whose fates were unknown, fleeing the scene in disgrace at the fastest speed as if they would be devoured by death if they were a moment slower.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Changling and his group vanished without a trace, leaving only the mess and the pervasive smell of blood.

The forest was silent again.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, shining on Gu Sheng’s bare upper body and calm face.

Zhao Boyang finally regained his senses, hurriedly leading his subordinates forward, he bowed deeply to Gu Sheng, his tone extremely solemn and filled with shame.

"Brother Gu... no, Senior Gu! Thank you for saving our lives! I was blind before, and my subordinates were offensive earlier, I apologize! If Senior has any orders, Zhao Boyang would not hesitate to die a thousand times!"

The few subordinates behind him were trembling, not daring to lift their heads. Thinking of their previous disdain and mockery of Gu Sheng, they only felt their faces burn with shame, filled with fear and reverence.

Gu Sheng glanced at Zhao Boyang and said indifferently.

"I am not a senior, and there is no need to thank me. I just do not want to be delayed."

Having said that, he turned away, taking out a new shirt from his storage ring, wearing it to cover his body that contained terrifying power.

Zhao Boyang immediately replied.

"It may be a small effort for Senior, but for Zhao and these brothers, it was a lifesaving grace.

The previously promised compensation, Zhao does not dare to forget. I wonder where Senior... where Brother Gu intends to go? If it is on the way, could Zhao offer some assistance? This place is not extremely far from Wuya Ancient City, and Zhao is familiar with the paths here."

Gu Sheng paused slightly while tying his coat and looked at Zhao Boyang.

"You know Wuya Ancient City?"

"Exactly."

Zhao Boyang nodded.

"We are also going to the vicinity of Wuya Ancient City for work. If Brother Gu doesn’t mind, you can travel with us, and there will be some mutual care on the road... Of course, with Brother Gu’s strength, perhaps we will be the ones benefiting."

His tone was sincere, filled with anticipation. Forming a relationship with such a powerful individual was a tremendous opportunity for him.

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment.

He really needed to get to Wuya Ancient City quickly, having someone lead the way and provide information could save a lot of time.

"Alright."

He nodded.

Gu Sheng walked step by step towards the solitary peak, his footsteps falling on the charred and shattered ground, making a slight rustling sound.

This sound, in the deathly silent forest, struck at Ye Changling’s heart.

Ye Changling’s body was embedded deep into the mountain rock, spiderweb cracks spreading out from him as the center.
