Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1608 - 827: Catching the Turtle in the Jar

"Jin’er! You!"

Zhao Boyang’s eyes widened in rage, and he roared!

He never expected Jin’er to turn against him so swiftly, and with such vicious methods!

The longsword in his hand instantly unsheathed, its light slashing towards the attacking enemies!

Old Xiong also roared, swinging his fists, the fierce gale of his punches blasting at the enemies!

The cave was thrown into chaos instantly! Blades and swords clashing, the whistle of raging fists!

Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong were strong, but they were outnumbered; their opponents were fearless, attacking relentlessly, so they were pushed into frantic defense and perilous situations!

Yet Jin’er seemed unfazed by the slaughter before her.

She moved gracefully, heading towards the cave entrance.

As she passed by Zhao Boyang, she paused slightly, turned her head to glance at him, her gaze indifferent, as if looking at a stranger.

"Zhao Boyang, you were a good pawn. Pity, you know too much."

Her red lips parted slightly, the voice still cold.

Zhao Boyang fiercely parried an attack from a martial artist, stunned and furious at her words.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Jin’er didn’t respond, only the faintest of smiles, as if she controlled everything.

She raised her delicate hand, and gently waved it in the direction of the cave entrance.

Whoosh—!

A thick, ink-like black smoke, with a pungent sweet and fishy smell, appeared out of thin air, immediately spreading, sealing the entire cave entrance shut!

This black smoke not only obstructed vision, but also contained strong corrosive properties and nerve-paralyzing poison! It was the same toxin she used before to stop Zhao Boyang’s pursuit!

"Cough, cough!"

Caught off guard, Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong inhaled the black smoke, suddenly feeling dizzy, their True Yuan sluggish!

Yet those controlled martial artists seemed unaffected, their attacks growing even more frenzied!

"Jin’er!"

Zhao Boyang roared, trying to break through the black smoke’s barrier, but the paralyzing effect slowed him, and he was immediately entangled by several martial artists.

Jin’er’s figure had already vanished into the thick black smoke, leaving only a haunting whisper echoing inside the cave.

"Enjoy... your last moments."

...

Gu Sheng followed his memory and finally arrived at the desolate mountain area.

Before he reached the cave, he sharply sensed an unusual, eerie atmosphere permeating the air.

It was a strange fluctuation, mixing blood, poison, and remnants of some powerful force.

"There’s been combat! And... it’s Jin’er’s presence!"

Gu Sheng’s gaze hardened, a foreboding feeling rising in his heart.

He immediately landed, concealing his presence like a leopard blending into the shadows, silently advancing toward the cave.

At the same time, his strong spiritual power spread cautiously forward like an invisible tide, probing the surroundings.

His spiritual power swept through, and the situation inside the cave quickly fed back to him.

The entrance was blocked by thick black smoke, inside Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong were in a bitter fight, attacked by a dozen or more frenzied martial artists, while Old Xiong and Old Array lay unconscious on the ground. Jin’er... wasn’t there!

Gu Sheng’s heart sank. Indeed, something had happened! Jin’er had already left!

He immediately expanded his spiritual power’s reach, covering the entire desolate mountain area.

Suddenly, his advancing steps halted abruptly! His gaze shot to his front-left, not far, behind a rugged black boulder.

"Come out."

Gu Sheng’s icy voice echoed through the silent wilderness.

A breeze swept by, lifting a few fallen leaves. From behind the boulder, a graceful figure slowly emerged.

Wearing a perfectly tailored black dress, outlining an arresting silhouette.

Her face, breathtakingly beautiful, her aura chilling, like a mysterious bloom in the dark night. It was Jin’er.

She stood quietly there, her gaze calmly fixed on Gu Sheng, as if she had long expected his arrival.

There was no leakage of any strong aura from her, yet Gu Sheng felt an invisible pressure enveloping him.

"You actually came."

Jin’er’s red lips parted slightly, her voice still clear and pleasing, carrying an understanding indifference.

"Quicker than I expected."

Gu Sheng’s eyes sharp as knives, locked onto Jin’er, his True Yuan like a volcano about to erupt, raging through his meridians.

He slowly spoke, his voice deep and laden with pressure.

"The Dark Agent placed by that old ghost of the Nether River... turns out it’s you. Lurking by Zhao Boyang’s side, just to disrupt at the crucial moment and ensure his sacrificial plan goes smoothly?"

Upon hearing this, Jin’er’s stunning face showed no change in expression, while a subtle ripple seemed to expand in her deep eyes.

She looked at Gu Sheng, her lips slowly curving into an unfathomable smile, her voice lazy and teasing.

"A Dark Agent? Disruption? Gu Sheng, your imagination... is quite rich."

She tilted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over Gu Sheng with an inquisitive curiosity.

"However, the method you destroyed the sacrificial offerings, did surprise me somewhat.

That vine... the way it consumed life force, very special."

She paused, her red lips parted, her words dropping like thunder.

"I am the daughter of the Nether River."

Gu Sheng’s pupils suddenly contracted! Even with his firm will, this sudden revelation shook him to the core!

The daughter of Venerable Ming River?! This revelation’s impact far exceeded any of his prior guesses!

Jin’er seemed satisfied with the fleeting astonishment in Gu Sheng’s eyes, she continued, her voice calm as if narrating someone else’s story.

"But he and I are not on the same path. That madman, for the so-called unsealing, will stop at nothing, even sacrificing close relations. I lurk here not to aid him, but rather... to eliminate him."
