Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 507 - 382

At that moment, Liang Zhao seemed to remember something. He said, "Oh, right, Lord Gu, there’s one more thing. Recently, many demons suddenly appeared throughout Youzhou, and now the Jing Tian Department needs to dispatch someone to suppress them."

"Hmm."

Gu Chen nodded. It was normal for demons to appear. Even Disaster Level demons had already appeared in the nine provinces, and without surprise, the number of demons appearing in the nine provinces would start gradually increasing in the coming time.

The great calamity was already showing its signs.

"Does Lord Gu intend to handle it personally?" Liang Zhao asked.

Because currently, in Youzhou, Gu Chen was the only Xiantian Realm martial arts grandmaster present. The original Heaven Grade commander, He Yan, was still in a coma still and had not recovered from his injuries, so unless absolutely necessary, Liang Zhao clearly did not want Gu Chen to leave the state city.

Gu Chen was naturally aware of Liang Zhao’s concern. He said, "Let’s see how it goes. Even if I leave the state city, I won’t go too far. If something happens to the state city, I can return immediately."

"That would be great." Receiving Gu Chen’s response, Liang Zhao felt relieved and nodded in assurance.

Since demons had appeared, Gu Chen certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity. Moreover, with his current speed, as long as he didn’t travel too far, it indeed wouldn’t take him long to return to the state city. Continue your story on novelbuddy

Another three days passed. During this period, demons appeared within a few hundred miles of the state city. Gu Chen did not let other commanders take action, but instead went to handle it himself.

For the demons that appeared at a greater distance, he dispatched the other commanders of the Jing Tian Department to go.

However, Gu Chen felt somewhat regretful that in these three days, only Disaster Level demons had appeared, and no Earth Grade demons had emerged. The points he gained were actually not that many, just enough to raise the level of an Earthly Martial Skill to minor completion.

Gu Chen’s main objective was to reach the communication with the divine path in martial arts as soon as possible. Therefore, he didn’t hesitate and, with a thought, raised the "Refining Spirit Secret," a martial skill that could refine the mental strength of martial artists, to the realm of minor completion.

Hum!

As he attained basic mastery of the Refining Spirit Secret, Gu Chen felt his mind become clearer, and his senses grew stronger. Moreover, a throbbing sensation began to emerge from his forehead, as if something was trying to burst forth.

This was a sign that his mental strength had reached a certain level. Gu Chen felt that when the Refining Spirit Secret, an ancient mental martial skill, reached major completion, perhaps he could project his spirit out of his body and affect reality, making the first step in condensing his divine sense.

"As long as the Refining Spirit Secret reaches perfection, and my cultivation also reaches the limits of the Xiantian Realm, I will surely break through to the divine path and become a top grandmaster in the martial arts of the nine provinces!"

Having achieved minor completion in the Refining Spirit Secret, Gu Chen felt confident, seeing hope for his martial arts to communicate with the divine path.

For other Xiantian Realm martial arts grandmasters, it was absolutely impossible to have progress like Gu Chen’s.

Because to condense the divine sense, it would take an incredibly long time. It’s already extraordinarily gifted to construct the divine sense within ten years.

After all, not everyone can raise the realm of their mental martial skill as quickly as Gu Chen.

As is commonly known, mental martial skills are extremely difficult to practice, and reaching perfection is nearly a fantasy. There are not many in the world with such a talent to achieve it.

Otherwise, communicating with the divine path would not have been such a difficult achievement.

Generally speaking, for Xiantian Realm martial arts grandmasters to condense the divine sense, most could only rely on time to endure, and Xiahou Longyuan is a fine example of this.

Lin Bai and others still didn’t know that the demons they released to lure Gu Chen away from the state city ended up helping him instead, allowing him to gain more points, and the Refining Spirit Secret also broke through a realm as a result.

At this moment, Lin Bai and the others were still discussing how to deal with Gu Chen.

"His speed is simply too fast, and he’s highly vigilant, never straying too far from Youzhou state city. It’s as if he’s guarding against something, making it difficult for us to break the city before he returns," said the one-eyed elder.

Lin Bai’s eyes were cold and his expression ferocious as he said, "Since that’s the case, let’s capture him first, then we can exterminate the entire city!"

"This..." the one-eyed elder hesitated upon hearing this.

"What, are you afraid of him?" Lin Bai turned sharply, directing his gaze at the one-eyed elder.

To tell the truth, after learning of Gu Chen’s series of accomplishments, the one-eyed elder thought that Gu Chen was somewhat formidable and had yet to use his full strength. He was also unsure of how strong Gu Chen’s true combat power really was.

After all, the entire world was now saying that Gu Chen was the number one martial prodigy in the history of Jiuzhou. Moreover, the other side also had a supreme divine weapon in hand. Even after merging with a Disaster-Level demon, the one-eyed elder didn’t feel invincible.

His original plan was to lure Gu Chen away, consume the souls of the townspeople to achieve a breakthrough in martial arts and then deal with Gu Chen, but now it seemed that Gu Chen was very alert, not falling for it at all.

The one-eyed elder pondered and said, "Young master, Gu Chen is currently very strong, and he has a supreme divine weapon in hand. Attacking him with just the few of us might be too rash. Why not wait for the Sixth Master and the Seventh Master to finish their closed-door cultivation? With them, there is no chance of failure, and you can deal with him as you please, young master."

"I can’t wait any longer!" Lin Bai stood up abruptly, his body overflowing with dark energy, his bloodshot eyes glaring at the one-eyed elder like a wild beast ready to choose its prey, causing a shiver in the latter’s heart.

The one-eyed elder felt that ever since transforming into a demon, Lin Bai’s temperament had become increasingly irritable. Although he had also merged with a demon, his situation was completely different from Lin Bai’s.

It seemed that abandoning one’s humanity to become a demon indeed came with great hidden dangers, the one-eyed elder thought to himself.

"Are you all scared of him, too?"

At that moment, Lin Bai’s gaze shifted to the other three people present. They were three Martial Arts Grandmasters, all at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm.

"For an assassin, there is only life and death, no fear," said one of them, his voice cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

"The Blood Garment Tower thinks likewise," another Martial Arts Grandmaster dressed in blood-colored garments said in kind.

"With the five of us here, along with two Disaster-Level demons, can we really not take down a mere Gu Chen?" Lin Bai uttered coldly.

The one-eyed elder frowned and said, "However, those two Disaster-Level demons were promised to Xiahou Longyuan and Ling Yun Valley by the sect. If something goes wrong..."

"I will take full responsibility for any accident!"

Lin Bai cut him off, the red glow in his pupils intensifying to an extreme. He could no longer contain his killing intent towards Gu Chen. If he didn’t kill Gu Chen soon, Lin Bai felt he might go mad first.

In that moment, Lin Bai, with his fierce and sinister appearance, truly looked no different from a demon who knew only to devour flesh and blood.

"If we don’t let the young master vent the murder and rage in his heart soon, he might suffer a backlash and completely lose himself,"

the one-eyed elder said with a furrowed brow. With things having come to this point, he had no choice but to disrupt the sect’s original plans and make a preemptive strike to kill Gu Chen.

Mainly, he was very covetous of the hundreds of thousands of civilians in Youzhou City.

"Fine!" the one-eyed elder nodded and said sternly, "Then we will do as the young master wishes!"

Having made their decision, they acted swiftly. Not long after, Youzhou City received news that a Disaster-Level demon had appeared.

On hearing this, Gu Chen immediately stood up. A Disaster-Level demon, at this point, only he in the entire Youzhou could handle it. After receiving the news, Gu Chen set out immediately, heading towards the location of the Disaster-Level demon.

He didn’t know that to prevent him from killing the Disaster-Level demon instantly, Lin Bai and the one-eyed elder along with four others were already lying in ambush around, just waiting for Gu Chen to take the bait.
