Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1663 - 844: Turning the Tide (Part 2)
Previously on Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World...
An escort master’s fiery-tempered deputy couldn’t hold back his anger at being so blatantly disregarded by the opponent. With a loud shout, he swung his Ghost Head Saber, aiming fiercely at the black-clad young man’s neck, accompanied by a sharp sound of slicing through the air. This attack was powerful and full of force, clearly intended to put an immediate end to this unwelcome guest.
However, facing a saber strike that could shatter stone, the black-clad young man didn’t even bother to lift his eyelids.
He simply raised his right hand expressionlessly, and faced the dozens of Gu family escorts surrounding him, casually and gently waved it.
There was no earth-shattering energy explosion, no dazzling brilliance flickering.
But at the moment he waved his hand, an invisible, intangible yet incredibly sharp force, like countless transparent blades, instantly spread out from him as the center, sweeping in all directions!
The escort master forcing himself in the front, the saber’s edge just three feet away from the black-clad young man’s neck when his body suddenly stiffened, and his forward motion came to an abrupt halt.
The next second—
"Pu—!"
"Pu pu pu—!"
A chilling succession of sounds like blades slicing through flesh rang out intensely!
The dozens of Gu family escorts surrounding the black-clad young man hadn’t even grasped what had happened when they felt an uncontrollable tearing sensation spreading throughout their bodies! Their Protective Gang Qi seemed weak as paper before the invisible blades, instantly shredded into pieces!
Blood, like dozens of enchantingly lurid flowers, bloomed simultaneously!
Their screams were cut off as soon as they were uttered!
The bodies of dozens of Gu family martial artists were simultaneously sliced and torn by that invisible force at the same time! Severed limbs and shredded internal organs flew across the air in the courtyard! Hot blood poured down like torrential rain, instantly dyeing the expansive front courtyard in glaring scarlet!
All within a single hand wave!
Dozens of battle-hardened escort masters, who were considered the backbone of the Gu family’s strength, were utterly annihilated without exception!
The entire front courtyard bore no trace of an intact corpse, shattered bodies and broken weapons scattered everywhere, with an overwhelming stench of blood rising to suffuse the sky, tinting it a faint red.
In just a few breaths, the bustling courtyard had transformed into a living hell!
"Uurgh—!"
More Gu family martial artists and family members rushed from the back courtyard, only to witness the scene resembling an Asura Hell.
The pungent smell of blood and the horrific scene churned their stomachs, making many bend over to retch uncontrollably.
More of them turned pale, their bodies shaking uncontrollably, eyes filled with boundless terror and fright.
They stared at the black-clad young man standing in the bloodbath, untouched and emotionless, as if witnessing a demon crawling out of hell!
Who exactly is this demon? Why did he come to the Gu family to commit such extermination?
Fear spread quickly like a plague through the hearts of every Gu family member and martial artist.
The intense, pungent smell of blood, the scattered limbs and remnants were overwhelming their nerves, causing some younger family members to tremble so severely in fear that they could hardly stand.
The black-clad young man’s indifferent gaze swept over the surviving Gu family members, his eyes icy and devoid of any human emotion, as if looking at a bunch of insignificant insects. "A group of ants."
He uttered four words lightly, not loud but clear in everyone’s ears, carrying extreme contempt.
"You bastard! You’ve gone too far!"
An Honored Guest Elder with Heavenly Martial Realm cultivation who had served the Gu family for years, couldn’t contain his anger and humiliation.
He stepped forward, pointed at the black-clad young man, hair bristling, and angrily demanded.
"Who exactly are you? What grudge do you hold against my Gu family to commit such toxic acts?! Do you fear no divine retribution?!"
"Divine retribution?"
The corner of the black-clad young man’s mouth curled into a mocking arc, regarding the Heavenly Martial Guest Elder as one might an agitated frog.
"Ants marching to their deaths are worthy of speaking of divine retribution?"
Before he finished speaking, he made no notable movement, merely narrowing his eyes.
The anger on the Heavenly Martial Guest Elder’s face instantly froze, replaced by boundless fear and disbelief.
He felt an invisible and terrifying force grip his throat, penetrating his entire body!
"Pu—"
Like a water-filled bag being instantly crushed, the Heavenly Martial Guest Elder didn’t even manage a last word before his body exploded violently in the horrified gazes of onlookers, forming dense blood mist mixed with shattered bones and internal organs, falling like rain to blend with the previous bloodstains.
Silence!
A deathly silence!
A Heavenly Martial Realm! In Wuyun City, a Heavenly Martial Realm is considered top-tier strength, capable of serving as a family elder! Yet before this black-clad young man, he didn’t even have the qualification to make the man lift a finger, meeting demise with just a glance?
This terrifying scene utterly destroyed the last bits of courage and hope of everyone in the Gu family.
"Ah! A devil! He’s a devil!"
"Escape... hurry, run!"
Someone shouted first, leading the survivors to completely break down, crying and fleeing madly towards the rear courtyard, only wishing their parents had given them two more legs.
However, the black-clad young man didn’t seem in a rush to hunt them down.
He watched the panicked fleeing figures, his eyes flickering with a hint of cat-and-mouse amusement.
He lifted his hand again, towards the fleeing crowd and the hundred guards rushing from other directions attempting to intercept, he gently waved.
No sound, no light.
But a bizarre, horrifying scene unfolded.
The hundred-plus Gu family guards, running or adopting defensive postures, their movements stiffened instantly. Then, their bodies seemed cleaved by countless invisible blades simultaneously, silently shattering like fractured porcelain, turning into countless flesh fragments, scattered quietly all over!
Blood sprayed like a fountain from the severed blood vessels, dyeing the courtyard scarlet red.
The entire front courtyard, even corridors and open spaces connecting to the central courtyard, added hundreds more disfigured corpses! Truly rivers of blood, mountains of corpses!
At this moment, Gu Lie and the newly appointed Great Elder Gu Jianghe finally hurried out from the depths of the estate upon receiving an emergency report.
Seeing the scene akin to an Asura Hell before them, both seemed struck by lightning, frozen in place!
Gu Lie’s face changed dramatically, the healthy flush from family prosperity quickly faded, turning paper pale.
He looked at the blood and gore covering the ground, gazed at the black-clad demon standing amidst the mound of bodies and sea of blood, his heart nearly suffocated by the grip of an invisible hand! These... these were his Gu family sons! In mere moments, slaughtered like this!
And the newly appointed Great Elder Gu Jianghe, though possessing some cultivation, had never witnessed such a horrific scene? The pungent smell of blood rushed straight to his nose, the hell-like visual impact churned his stomach, involuntarily making him double over to vomit violently, his legs shaking uncontrollably, nearly collapsing to the ground.
The black-clad young man’s gaze shifted over the corpses, landing on Gu Lie and Gu Jianghe, finally resting on the pale-faced yet still standing strong Gu Lie.
"You, are the Family Head of the Gu family, Gu Lie?"
The black-clad young man’s voice remained indifferent, devoid of emotional fluctuations.
Gu Lie suppressed the tumultuous waves of fear and towering rage within him; he knew he mustn’t fall right now.
He took a deep breath, striving to keep his voice steady.
"I am indeed! Who are you, sir? How has my Gu family offended you to deserve such destruction?!"
"Offended?"
The mocking arc at the corner of the black-clad young man’s mouth appeared again.
