The Eight Great Families launched an attack, but Gu Sheng unleashed the Yin Disc, summoning a shadowy demonic entity that massacred hundreds of their martial artists. Faced with utter annihilation and unable to escape, the Eight Family Heads resorted to forbidden blood techniques, sacrificing their lives to launch a desperate, joint attack against Gu Sheng.

The Family Head of the Yu Family and others stared fixedly at the center of the explosion with a look of madness and expectation on their faces. They couldn’t believe anyone could remain unscathed in the face of their eight life-sacrificing attacks!

However, as the blinding light and the swirling dust gradually receded, revealing the scene within, the madness and expectation on the faces of the Eight Family Heads instantly froze and then transformed into boundless astonishment and disbelief!

Gu Sheng still stood quietly in place, not even the corner of his clothing was damaged in the slightest! Around him seemed to be an invisible barrier, completely isolating the destructive energy that could obliterate everything.

He slowly lifted his gaze, eyes calmly sweeping over the eight figures in the air that had stiffened due to extreme shock, and spoke lightly.

"Burning your life, is this all you can muster? It’s really... disappointing."

His voice wasn’t loud, yet it exploded like thunder in the minds of the Eight Family Heads!

The next moment, Gu Sheng’s figure suddenly vanished from where he stood!

Like a black lightning tearing through the void, his speed was so fast it exceeded the limits of their Divine Sense’s ability to perceive! In merely a thousandth of an instant, he had crossed several hundred feet, instantly appearing before a Family Head who had just launched his attack and whose aura was still violently fluctuating.

The astonishment on that Family Head’s face hadn’t yet dissipated before he found himself staring into Gu Sheng’s cold and ruthless eyes. He opened his mouth wide in horror, wanting to say something.

"Spare..."

"Boom!"

Before he could even utter a word, Gu Sheng’s fist had already imprinted on his chest like an instant teleportation.

No earth-shattering loud noise, just a muffled sound of flesh and bone being crushed and exploded instantly.

This Family Head, who had just forcibly stepped into King Realm with Secret Technique, couldn’t even let out a complete scream before his entire body exploded in mid-air, turning into a dense cloud of blood mist, with not a single bone left!

"Escape!"

Another Family Head’s heart was shocked to the core, without thinking, he burned his Essence Blood to flee far away.

But just as he turned around, Gu Sheng’s figure appeared like a specter on his escape path, still delivering a simple punch.

"No—!"

In the midst of a desperate howl, this Family Head was also blown apart by a punch, following in the footsteps of the earlier.

Gu Sheng’s figure flickered continuously in the air, and each flash was invariably accompanied by the collapse of a Family Head’s body.

His cold voice echoed in the ears of the remaining Family Heads.

"I gave you a chance. It was your choice to oppose me. I am not swayed by softness or hardness; I only look at results. Since you chose to be my enemy, then be prepared to be crushed."

His words rang like the final knell.

Punches out like dragons, punches fall like rain!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

Six successive muffled explosions, like the rhythm of death, beat upon the last mental defenses of the Yu Family’s Family Head.

He watched with wide eyes as the other six Family Heads, unable even to mount a decent resistance, turned into six poignant blood-red fireworks under what seemed deceptively ordinary punches, dying with hatred, leaving no skeleton behind!

In an instant, there was only him left alone in the air.

And below, the shadows pursuing the Martial Artists of the Eight Great Families had also completed its mission, turning into a concentrated black mist, like rivers returning to the sea, re-entering the Life-controlling Yin Disc in Gu Sheng’s palm.

The valley entrance was completely silent.

Apart from Gu Sheng and his people and the Martial Artists from Linlang Pavilion opening the hidden treasure, not a single one of the hundreds of Martial Artists from the Eight Great Families who came to encircle and kill was left alive, including the eight Family Heads who forcibly ascended to the King Realm! The ground was in ruins, blood flowed like rivers, and the intense stench of blood seemed almost indelible.

Gu Sheng, with a calm demeanor, put away the Life-controlling Yin Disc, as if the bloody massacre just now had nothing to do with him.

Fan Qingcheng walked to his side, her mystical gaze falling on his calm face, with a hint of noticeable surprise in her tone.

"Your decisiveness in slaughter is somewhat surprising to me."

Gu Sheng turned his eyes to her and asked rhetorically.

"Otherwise? Leaving survivors so they can cultivate and grow, or collude with stronger forces, to trouble me later, or my father, or Linlang Pavilion?"

Fan Qingcheng remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Cutting the grass and uprooting it, eliminating future problems. You’re right."

She hesitated slightly, as if she remembered something, and added.

"The vision of Pavilion Masters Bingtang and Xueli is indeed discerning. If you manage to enter the Great Wilderness Holy Academy smoothly, with your nature and potential, I’m sure Miss... will look at you differently."

Gu Sheng was noncommittal about this, simply saying indifferently.

"The matter of the Holy Academy, is something for another day."

Just then, the mottled rock face emitted a heavy "grating" sound, the concealing array’s glow completely dissipated, revealing a black, downward-extending entrance, from which a richer and purer ancient aura permeated. The sound of mechanism turning ceased, and the hidden treasure’s door had already opened.

Gu Sheng looked at the deep entrance and made a gesture inviting Fan Qingcheng.

"Miss Fan, let’s go in and take a look together. After all, Venerable Azure Dragon was once a person from the Great Wilderness Holy Academy. I may not share its contents with you, but the Great Wilderness Holy Academy has the right to know about the situation within."

Upon hearing this, Fan Qingcheng’s eyes flashed with clear surprise, she looked at Gu Sheng.

"Knowing that Venerable Azure Dragon originates from the Holy Academy, you still dare to monopolize his hidden treasure? Aren’t you afraid that if the Holy Academy finds out, they will turn against you and Linlang Pavilion?"

Gu Sheng’s lips slightly curled up, revealing a confident yet indifferent smile.
