Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Sunset Sword Sect was considered the first major sect of Qiongtian Mansion and ranked among the "Seven Sects." Its reputation was so renowned throughout the entire Da Xia that it was as if thunder had pierced the ears.

In the entire Qiongtian Mansion, with the exception of the government, the Sunset Sword Sect was the strongest power, holding sway over the martial world. No other forces could stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

This was why the patrons in the tavern changed color at the mention of the four words "Sunset Sword Sect."

"Can't even let a man eat his meal in peace, annoying as hell."

In a corner of the tavern's second floor, a man named Luo Feng saw the people from Sunset Sword Sect coming to kill him; his expression unchanged, until the tip of the sword neared his eyes, his entire figure suddenly vanished. It turned out that what was left in his place was just an afterimage.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen's eyes flickered slightly. Regardless of anything else, based solely on this footwork, the man named Luo Feng was already standing on invincible ground.

At least, the current Gu Chen did not possess such nimble footwork.

One sword stroke missed, and the disciple's expression did not change as he shouted sternly, "Luo Feng, you can't escape. Today, I must stab twenty-seven holes in your body to avenge Sister Tian!"

Luo Feng, who looked plain and inconspicuous, heard the words and sneered dismissively, "Is there a need for such an overreaction? It's not as if I did much; all I did was strip Sister Tian and hang her up in the wilderness for a night. She didn't die. Why are you after me without letting go?"

"Shut up!"

The disciple of Sunset Sword Sect turned cold with his gaze, cutting off Luo Feng's words, preventing him from continuing.

This matter, if it were to spread, would negatively impact not only Sister Tian but also the Sunset Sword Sect.

As a top-ranking sect, it certainly would not tolerate negative rumors about itself circulating in the martial world.

The disciples of Sunset Sword Sect had a fierce look, and their chilling gaze swept across the room. Anyone on the second floor of the tavern who caught their gaze trembled and turned away, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

"I remember now; that's why the name sounded so familiar. Luo Feng, he's 'Skylark' Luo Feng, the most cunning flower thief in the entire Qiongtian Mansion!" muttered a martial artist on the second floor.

"I've also heard about him. 'Skylark' Luo Feng, with unparalleled lightness skill and first-class in escape, it's said that he once toyed with an External Qi warrior for an entire day and night using his lightness skill.

Only when that warrior was exhausted did Luo Feng casually leave; the moniker 'Skylark' refers to his high skill in lightness, meaning that even a blade of grass could lend him support, as if walking on flat ground," a few martial artists on the second floor discussed in whispers.

Luo Feng heard this and smiled faintly, "Everyone, if I said I'm not some flower thief but a bright-hearted champion of justice, would you believe me?"

The disciple of Sunset Sword Sect sneered upon hearing this, "A champion of justice? Luo Feng, you are infamous throughout Qiongtian Mansion. Lord Qian's beloved daughter, the second young miss of Song Family Castle, and so on; these powers are still offering rewards for you. Your crimes are too numerous to count. What else do you have to say for yourself?"

Luo Feng, unconcerned, shrugged his shoulders, "They got what they deserved; I can hardly be blamed."

"Bullshit!"

The disciple of Sunset Sword Sect was furious, saying, "You vile lecher, such shamelessness! Are you also going to claim they seduced you first?!"

"That's not the case," Luo Feng shook his head.

"Luo Feng, I don't care who else you provoke, but you've made the grave error of crossing our Sunset Sword Sect. From the moment you dared to lay a finger on Sister Tian, you will have no place to hide in the entire Da Xia, let alone Qiongtian Mansion. This time, you cannot escape your doom!"

The eyes of the disciple from Sunset Sword Sect were icy as he shouted, "Attack!"

Clang!

The sound of swords rang out as all of the Sunset Sword Sect members charged at Luo Feng at that moment, surrounding him in an instant.

"You can't stop me," said Luo Feng, his expression unchanged, shaking his head.

"To hell you go, you lecher!"

With a hum, bright sword light appeared on the second floor of the tavern. Most of these disciples from Sunset Sword Sect were at the level of Pulse Connection realm, and as soon as they made a move, their powerful energy burst forth, causing many tables and chairs to directly explode.

All the people on the second floor of the tavern became silent with fear and backed away when they saw this scene. Some wanted to leave but found it difficult to find an opportunity amidst the intense fight. One wrong move could very well cause harm to themselves.

The manager of the tavern saw this and his face grew pale. He wanted to stop them but dared not speak, fearing he would incur the wrath of Sunset Sword Sect.

After all, the domineering ways of Sunset Sword Sect in Qiongtian Mansion were not merely a day or two's doing.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The swords flashed; although Luo Feng was surrounded, his footwork was truly exquisite. He swayed and dodged, and after a flurry of attacks, he had not taken the slightest injury, not even a corner of his clothes was damaged.

Swish!

Suddenly, Luo Feng leapt up, attempting to break free and escape.

"You won't get away!"

The disciples of Sunset Sword Sect shouted coldly, waving their long swords and forming a sword net, blocking Luo Feng once again.

Bang!

A table split in response, with half of it flying into the air, crashing towards the edge of the second floor of the tavern,

where an elderly man well past his prime was with two children. Seeing the table flying towards them, his expression turned to panic; in a hurry, he could only turn around, hold the children in his arms, close his eyes, and choose to withstand the impact with his own body.

G Gu Chen, seeing this scene, frowned, his figure flashed like lightning to the front of the old man, and with a palm strike, he shattered the incoming table into pieces, protecting them.

When the old man heard the noise and turned around, seeing that it was Gu Chen who had helped him, gratitude spread across his aged face as he repeatedly said, "Thank you, thank you..."

Gu Chen shook his head to indicate it was nothing, then shifted his gaze back to the nearby battlefield.

According to Da Xia's laws, it was strictly forbidden to fight within the city, as every move of a martial artist could potentially endanger the lives of ordinary people. That's why Da Xia's laws explicitly stated this rule.

These disciples of Sunset Sword Sect were indeed overbearing, ignoring the laws of Da Xia, daring to start a fight within the city, even in the cramped space on the second floor of the tavern, disregarding the existence of ordinary citizens.

Whoosh!

As another chair flew over, Gu Chen casually swatted it to one side. At this point, the disciples of Sunset Sword Sect couldn't take Luo Feng down, and the fight became extremely stuck; due to their conflict, the entire tavern was about to collapse.

"Stop!"

Hearing the shout, the disciples of Sunset Sword Sect showed no sign of stopping; the leader even turned back to give Gu Chen a cold glare as if trying to remember his face so he could deal with him later.

The other martial artists seeing Gu Chen daring to stop the disciples of Sunset Sword Sect changed their expressions and moved further away from him, putting distance between themselves and Gu Chen, fearing they would be collateral damage later on.

Seeing that the disciples of the Sunset Sword Sect showed no sign of stopping, Gu Chen's eyes grew cold. He grabbed a chair next to him and smashed it towards the disciple who had just glared at him with disdain.
