Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1610 - 828: Fierce Confrontation

"Originally, Xiao Beixuan had four Human Kings by his side."

Jin’er furrowed her brows almost imperceptibly.

Gu Sheng’s mind stirred slightly, True Yuan flowed within his body, light flickered at his fingertips, swiftly outlining a clear silhouette of a human figure in the Void.

The figure was burly, with a fierce countenance, surrounded by a faint blood-colored Evil Qi, it was the Evil Cultivator "Blood Jade" previously killed by the puppet he controlled!

"This person has been dealt with by me."

Gu Sheng’s voice was calm and steady, as if stating an insignificant matter.

Jin’er looked at the lifelike blood-colored silhouette, her beautiful face showing obvious shock for the first time, which then transformed into understanding and... amusement?

"Blood Jade? So it was him... No wonder Xiao Beixuan was so frantic yet vague in his tone during the previous communication. It seems he didn’t even dare to reveal that he lost a trusted subordinate, afraid to shake the morale, even more afraid... of me finding out?"

Her eyes carried mockery.

"He guarded against me vigilantly. Too bad, he focused his defense in the wrong direction."

"Now, he only has three Human Kings by his side."

Gu Sheng dissipated the shadow, looking directly at Jin’er.

"You will handle those three, and... present your pledge. Leave Xiao Beixuan to me."

Jin’er shot a deep gaze at Gu Sheng, seemingly trying to see more beyond his calm facade, and finally smiled, a smile with a dangerous allure.

"Alright! It’s settled then! I’ll take care of those three obstacles and bring you Xiao Beixuan’s head. As for the old ghost Ming River... after this is over, we’ll discuss the details of cooperating against him."

"Fine."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"The premise is, you must fulfill your promise."

"Rest assured."

Jin’er’s tone carried absolute confidence, her eyes roamed over Gu Sheng, then suddenly she said.

"Gu Sheng, your thoughts are deep as an abyss, even I find it hard to see through. But..."

Her fingertip moved slightly, an unusual energy flowed in her eyes.

"I have a slight understanding of Qi Observation Skill, and the web of Cause and Effect entwined around you is even more complex and interesting than I imagined."

Gu Sheng neither approved nor disapproved, only calmly said.

"Mere tricks, not worth believing.

Miss Jin’er, time is pressing."

"Ha, indeed."

Jin’er chuckled lightly, said no more.

She gave Gu Sheng one final look, then blurred into a dark Shadow, her speed reaching the extreme, and shot towards the Thousand Souls Hall Main Hall, where the Wuya Sect disciples’ aura was most concentrated!

Without any hesitation.

Gu Sheng watched her disappear, his eyes heavy. Collaborating with a tiger, every step nerve-wracking. Yet he had no other choice.

The power and mystery Jin’er displayed made him wary, but at this moment, she was truly the key to breaking the impasse.

Without further delay, Gu Sheng’s figure also transformed into a stream of light, speeding towards the direction of the cave in memory.

...

Inside the cave, a strong smell of blood and the remnants of poisonous miasma were pervasive.

Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong stood back-to-back, covered in blood, their breaths heavy, their bodies marked all over, with their True Yuan greatly depleted.

At their feet lay over a dozen corpses, these were the Martial Artists previously controlled by Jin’er to attack them furiously.

In the corner of the cave, another Old Xiong and Old Array remained unconscious.

The entrance was sealed by thick black smoke, despite its weakened toxicity, it still hindered vision and Perception.

"Damn it! What the hell is that woman’s background?!"

Old Xiong panted heavily, wiped the blood off his face, and cursed with lingering fear.

"Those guys were like rabid dogs just now, why did they suddenly all fall down?"

Zhao Boyang, pale-faced yet with a sharp gaze, scanned the corpses vigilantly, speaking in a deep voice.

"Something’s not right. Although these people seemed insane and their attacks fierce, thinking back... they deliberately avoided vital points.

There were several times they could have severely wounded or even killed us, yet they held back... more like forcing us to exhaust ourselves rather than truly take our lives!"

Old Xiong paused, recalled the previous fight, his expression slightly changing.

"Now that you mention it... seems true! What’s that woman up to? Is she toying with us?"

At that moment, both sensed a strong and familiar energy coming from outside the cave!

Right after, the thick black smoke blocking the cave entrance was stirred like by an invisible hand, violently tumbling and quickly thinning, dissipating!

A tall figure appeared at the entrance, it was Gu Sheng!

"Gu!"

Seeing Gu Sheng, Zhao Boyang’s eyes flashed with joy, immediately replaced by deep suspicion. Old Xiong’s eyes widened.

Gu Sheng stepped into the cave, his gaze quickly sweeping the scene inside, seeing Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong battered but not fatally wounded, the two in the corner still alive, his heart was slightly at ease.

He got straight to the point.

"This place is not suitable to stay longer! Xiao Beixuan has blocked all exits of the Secret Realm, gathering forces to besiege the core area. We must quickly regroup and break out!"

"The exit is blocked?!"

Both Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong’s expressions changed simultaneously.

"Gu, just now..."

Zhao Boyang eagerly wanted to inquire about Jin’er and the previous incident with "Blood Jade," the changes were too many, too bizarre.

Gu Sheng raised his hand, interrupting him, speaking rapidly.

"Long story short. Jin’er is the daughter of Venerable Ming River, but she doesn’t walk the same path as him; her goal is to eliminate her father. Previously controlling ’Blood Jade’ to assist you was me; later it was discovered and severed by Jin’er.

She just controlled these people to attack you, her purpose is unclear, but as you noticed, she didn’t strike lethally. Now, she has gone to restrain Xiao Beixuan’s main forces."
