Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

```

Boom!

At that moment, a sound akin to thunderous roar filled the air, followed by a figure sent flying.

It was actually Xu Qing!

Gu Chen's eyes immediately sharpened as he leaped forward to support Xu Qing.

"Lord Xu, are you alright?" Gu Chen asked with a frown.

Coughing up blood, Xu Qing said, "It's nothing serious. The strength of a demonic sect martial artist fused with a wicked ghost is indeed formidable!"

Mainly because, not only did he have to face the Vajra Stage martial artist, but he also had to be constantly on guard against the power of the malevolent spirit invading his body, essentially facing two opponents at once. It was inevitable that he would be at a disadvantage.

"I will join forces with you against the enemy, Lord Xu," Gu Chen said.

"You..."

Xu Qing slightly frowned. Although he was aware of Gu Chen's extraordinary strength, no matter what, Gu Chen was only at the mid-stage of the External Qi Realm. Moreover, the person across from them was not an ordinary Vajra Stage martial artist.

Not to mention that his body had reached the level where it was impervious to fire and water, he also had a wicked ghost attached, doubling his strength, which was not comparable to the three External Qi Realm martial artists they had faced before.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

At that time, another dozen or so martial artists of the External Qi Realm sprang out from the side, surrounding Gu Chen and the rest.

It seemed that the Red Flame Demon Sect had been prepared, lying in wait here for the Jing Tian Department to come, intending to test their strength against the Jing Tian Department.

"Today, none of you will escape," said the Vajra Stage martial artist coldly, possessed by the wicked ghost.

"You're not going anywhere!"

During the speech, another Vajra Stage martial artist from the Red Flame Demon Sect appeared.

However, he seemed different from the previous one; he hadn't merged with a wicked ghost but was simply a pure Vajra Stage martial artist.

Even so, the situation on the field had already turned exceedingly unfavorable for Gu Chen and his allies.

All of a sudden, Xu Qing's eyes hardened, and he turned to address the newly appeared Vajra Stage martial artist, "I recognize you. You're a freelance martial artist from Xu'an County, 'Broken Gold Hand' Yang Ming. You've actually sided with the Red Flame Demon Sect!"

With a faint smile, Yang Ming said, "And what of it if I've sided with the Red Flame Demon Sect? A wise man submits to the circumstances."

As a freelance martial artist, reaching the Vajra Stage was already incredibly difficult, and climbing any higher was even harder, especially given his age and some internal hidden injuries. Maintaining his current status was already quite an achievement.

As soon as the news spread that the Six Union God Sect could enable martial artists to perfectly merge with wicked ghosts, allowing the martial artists to dominate the power of the ghosts, heal injuries, and significantly extend their lifespans, Yang Ming was intrigued and joined the Six Union God Sect.

To present a gesture of allegiance, more than ten thousand civilians had died at his hands during the time the Red Flame Demon Sect massacred the city!

"I've had enough of the imperial control. We martial artists, especially those at the Vajra Stage, are top-notch in the world. Why should we be restrained by you? Now, having joined the Six Union God Sect, I can do whatever I want—isn't that delightful?"

"If you ask me, you should do the same and join the Divine Sect. It's a thousand times, no, ten thousand times better than serving in the Jing Tian Department. Especially you, Gu Chen; I've heard your name. A martial artist of your talent will be greatly welcomed by our Divine Sect," Yang Ming said at that moment, not only devoid of any regret but even trying to persuade Gu Chen and the others.

Upon hearing this, the bald martial artist merged with the wicked ghost also said, "Indeed, our Divine Sect is rising again, and now is when we need people the most. If you're willing to join us, not only will you save your lives today, but you might also have the chance to attain immortality like me in the future."

If they could convince the people of the Jing Tian Department to defect, such news would deal a severe blow to the morale of Da Xia, while also showcasing the strength of the Six Union God Sect to the world.

That could potentially attract even more people to join.

"Heresy and deviancy. I disdain to be associated with the likes of you!" Xu Qing shouted angrily.

The bald martial artist of the Red Flame Demon Sect immediately darkened his gaze and said coldly, "In that case, there's only one outcome for you today, and that is death!"

Yang Ming shook his head, "Stubbornly ignorant."

Then, Gu Chen whispered to Xu Qing, "Lord Xu, leave this man to me."

```

With that, he pointed his hand at the bald brute.

Xu Qing frowned slightly, looking at Gu Chen with some hesitation. Seeing Gu Chen's resolute gaze, he finally nodded and said, "Be careful in everything!"

Then, drawing the long sabre from his waist, he charged towards Yang Ming, shouting coldly, "Come over and die!"

The bald brute from the Red Flame Demon Sect, seeing Xu Qing had picked Yang Ming, glanced at Gu Chen with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

But immediately, a cold sneer appeared on his face as he disdainfully said, "You think you can take me on?"

"Die!"

With a roar of rage, his palm, wide as a fan, slammed down from the air; even the air was directly compressed into a mass, and the fierce force gathered in his palm, striking at Gu Chen with an incredibly wild power.

Hum!

Gu Chen's expression remained unchanged as he activated the Horizontal Training technique, a glint of golden light blooming on his chest, then spreading throughout his body.

"You are at the Vajra Stage too?"

The bald brute's eyes widened, his expression turning stern before he said, "No, this is a body-cultivating technique, and you have perfected it?!"

Gu Chen paid him no heed, and that wasn't all—as another streak of golden light flashed by, the energy within his body surged, and a golden bell materialized out of thin air, enveloping him within.

Dong!

The next moment, the bald brute's palm collided with the Golden Bell Shield, creating a sound akin to the tolling of a bell at dawn or dusk.

The defensive power of the Golden Bell Shield was astounding; the fierce recoil forced the bald brute to stagger backwards several steps with a thud.

He looked at Gu Chen with shock, unable to believe that someone of Gu Chen's age could have mastered so many Horizontal Training techniques.

Having never sparred with a warrior at the Vajra Stage, Gu Chen had used his full power at the outset just to be safe. But he realized that warriors at the Vajra Stage were not as formidable as he had imagined, at least, with that palm strike, Gu Chen was confident he could take it without any problems.

Soon after, the golden bell disappeared, and Gu Chen walked straight ahead.

Seeing this, the bald brute from the Red Flame Demon Sect revealed a cruel smile.

But Gu Chen, as if he saw none of it, extended his arm, clenched his fingers into a fist, and smashed his Great Vajra Fist down directly.

The bald brute didn't even try to dodge. Relying on his body which was immune to both fire and water and the added strength of a demonic spirit's possession, he did not believe Gu Chen could break through his defenses.

Bang!

The force of Gu Chen's punch was ferocious, causing the bald brute to shudder, disbelief reaching its peak.

Because he realized that Gu Chen's strength was even greater than his own.

"Die!"

Gu Chen's eyes were cold, and with a sharp shout, he continued with the Great Vajra Fist—grand and mighty in style, wild and violent in force—one punch after another forced the bald brute into defense, leaving him no chance to counter and constantly retreating.

"Ah—"

The bald brute bellowed in rage. Being battered like this by a junior at the External Qi Stage like Gu Chen, how could he reconcile with it? Dark energy surged around him as he began to confront Gu Chen's attack with his own, both unleashing a tempest of fierce exchanges!

After dozens of blows, each given one's all, the bald brute couldn't help but breathe a little heavily, but Gu Chen's expression remained the same.

"Kill!"

At that moment, there was a sudden flare in Gu Chen's eyes, the light in his pupils almost tangible, the thick energy inside his body, aged to two hundred and ninety-four years, coursed wildly through his meridians. All his strength was condensed to an extreme, and then a fierce punch was hurled forward.

Boom!

The astounding force erupted at that moment, like a wrathful Vajra swinging the demon-subduing staff in the heavens to suppress the contemporary world, with the terrifying fist light flashing and gone in an instant.
