Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 39: The Old Man Fights a Crowd of Heroes Alone

```

Zhang Yangdao had just leaped onto the wall when a shadow wearing a conical hat lunged out from the alley beside him.

Under the night sky, the shadow wielded a bright sword and struck fiercely, cutting Zhang Yangdao down from the wall.

Ye Yuntian stood in the place on the wall where Zhang Yangdao had been and laughed, "It seems your Rain Butterfly, the effect after transformation, clears the mind."

"It can even dissolve some killing intent, making us momentarily forget our purpose."

Chen Qing was shocked internally, "Can there be such an effect?"

After the rain, indeed, everyone felt refreshed, and the whole world seemed clean and comfortable.

Of course, the Rain Gu was different; its effect was more mandatory.

The desire to kill wouldn’t wane just because of rain.

However, Zhang Yangdao’s Rain Gu could make people momentarily lose focus.

Clearing one’s mind was a positive effect, but in the hands of an experienced person like Zhang Yangdao, it was used even more masterfully.

Ye Yuntian stood on the wall and said, "Do not let too many people enter the rain curtain; his rain curtain can unconsciously absorb your Spiritual Energy to bolster himself."

"The more people there are, the stronger he becomes!"

"From my observation, he should also have the Power Gu and Wind Gu on him."

"And he’s using the Lotus Cave’s swordsmanship."

Zhang Yangdao looked around, and Wuyou Mountain disciples began retreating from the rain curtain, limiting his Rain Gu’s ability to cleanse.

Humans naturally didn’t have Spiritual Energy within, and Spiritual Energy was akin to worldly impurities.

He pondered slightly, his gaze darting between Ye Yuntian and Feng Qi.

In a one-on-one, neither of them was his match.

After a moment’s thought, he raised his sword and hurled it straight at Ye Yuntian.

Seizing the moment Ye Yuntian dodged, he tumbled on the ground and burrowed into the soil.

Chen Qing was anxious internally, "Earth-burrowing! Zhang Yangdao still has an Earth Gu!"

What should be done?

Time quickly answered Chen Qing as a loud explosion echoed from the street.

Ju Xiu sat atop a giant tiger, wielding an iron hammer the size of a millstone. The tiger leaped, and Ju Xiu swung the hammer downward with full force!

Masses of dirt churned as the hammer’s power scattered the bluestone bricks all over the street, dirt flying everywhere!

The stone walls on both sides of the street collapsed, and a startled mouse fled frantically.

Zhang Yangdao was blasted out from the dirt, coughing up a mist of blood!

Landing, Zhang Yangdao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression dark and grim.

Behind him, Feng Qi was already unsheathing his sword and charging forward, transforming into fog.

He turned his head and spread his hands.

Spiritual Energy surged like a tide in his hands, and a massive fireball had already formed.

Seeing this, Feng Qi quickly retreated from the fog state. Although the fog state ignored Sword Qi damage, it was no match for flames!

Receiving a hit like this would injure him!

Feng Qi swung his cloak to block the exploding fireball, forced back three steps.

"Fire Gu!"

Even Gongsun Xiu clicked his tongue slightly, "This old guy really has a lot of Gu insects on him."

"But once he’s killed, probably not many will be left."

"These were all taken from others, with poor quality, and after his death, due to the contract, they’ll revert. Given their already insufficient life span, they’re likely to perish."

Under the rain curtain, Zhang Yangdao moved swiftly as though treading on the wind, quickly crossing more than ten feet.

Ye Yuntian pursued closely, wielding his sword aggressively with his right hand, while his left hand subtly gathered a strand of Sword Qi.

A faint glow shimmered on his sword; it was Sword Qi enveloping his blade, making his sword unstoppable.

Zhang Yangdao was fully occupied facing Ju Xiu in front, and Ye Yuntian certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity, thrusting a sword directly at Zhang Yangdao’s back!

As his sword was about to pierce Zhang Yangdao’s back, four extremely chilling auras seeped out from behind Zhang Yangdao.

Four ghostly bone claws emerged from his back, clasping Ye Yuntian’s sword.

Ye Yuntian withdrew his sword, the sharp Sword Qi leaving scratches on the bone claws.

"Six-Armed Gu?"

Feng Qi shook his head, "It doesn’t seem like it, more like an Evil Cultivator’s Gu."

Ye Yuntian said, "Even with my Butterfly-Transformed Sword Gu Sword Qi, it only left a scratch on these bone claws; these Gu insects must be at least at the Ninth Transformation."

The four bone claws extended to Zhang Yangdao’s chest, tearing four blood-soaked ribs from his chest.

Zhang Yangdao grunted, his heart entirely exposed, thumping visibly.

The four bone claws rubbed the ribs against each other, quickly grinding them into four scimitars.

Though Ye Yuntian and Feng Qi exchanged words, Ye Yuntian’s sword remained unyielding, striking at Zhang Yangdao’s lower body with the speed of a fierce wind.

The four bone claws wielded the scimitars to swiftly counteract.

At Zhang Yangdao’s front, Ju Xiu urged the tiger to leap, mercilessly hammering down!

Zhang Yangdao raised his sword horizontally to block.

With one hammer strike, Zhang Yangdao’s legs were driven a foot into the ground.

The whole street trembled, even those watching from afar like Chen Qing felt the pavilion slightly shake.

Ju Senior Sister definitely possessed a Power Gu!

And of high quality.

Given the strength of Zhang Yangdao’s body, he must have an Iron Skin Gu, or he couldn’t have taken it.

This guy is mighty indeed, holding off Ye, Feng, and Ju for so long.

As Chen Qing marveled, a giant sword, weighing perhaps over a hundred pounds, suddenly plummeted from the sky, descending on Zhang Yangdao’s head!

The sword descended rapidly, heavily infused with intense Sword Qi!

The entire sword glowed brilliantly, emanating an unmistakable sharpness.

This was the real killing strike!

Chen Qing looked above the sword and saw a crane flying across.

It was Senior Brother He Ming of the ninth level of Qi Refinement!

Zhang Yangdao, bearing Ju Xiu’s mighty hammer and pressured by Ye Yuntian and Feng Qi from behind, could only slightly shift to avoid a lethal blow.

The giant sword descended, piercing through the four bone claws from his back, impaling him completely to the ground.

Behind him, two bone claws wielded scimitars to fend off Ye Yuntian and Feng Qi’s attacks, while the other two bone claws swiftly extracted the giant sword from his back.

Blood gushed out, Zhang Yangdao’s face turned deathly pale, yet bore a fierce resolve.

The giant sword, hurled by the bone claws, was sent flying, and Spiritual Energy surged within Zhang Yangdao, his body beginning to heal at a visible rate!

"Rejuvenation Gu!"

Zhang Yangdao actually had a Rejuvenation Gu!

Even though his body was tattered like his Daoist robe, he still stood in the center of the street, brandishing his sword to counter Ju Xiu’s hammer!

The four bone claws behind him started to move again, one claw left three bloody marks on Ye Yuntian’s unsuspecting chest.

Ye Yuntian, now furious, gripped his sword with both hands, letting a Sword Butterfly fly out and land on the sword’s back.

His body flooded with Spiritual Energy, extending the sword’s light over ten feet!
