Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"Hurry up!" Chen Yu bellowed, urging Gu Chen and the other three to quickly leave.

Especially Gu Chen, born with a martial body, was almost destined to become a commander, or even a defender. Chen Yu absolutely did not want Gu Chen to die here.

Today, Chen Yu had made up his mind; he would not leave. So many of his men had died; how could he possibly flee alone?

He was determined that even if he were to die, he would take everyone here with him in burial, which is why he wanted Gu Chen to leave quickly.

Seeing that Gu Chen stood still without any intention to leave, Chen Yu shouted, "Xu Qing, take them and go!"

"My lord!"

Xu Qing's eyes brimmed with hot tears, standing in place, unwilling to move his feet.

"This is an order. I want you to take them and go!" Chen Yu roared, rarely so anxious.

"Xu Qing, take them and hurry!" Cui Yu and Deng Zi An also urged in succession.

It was apparent that they, too, were prepared to die for their duty. It was their responsibility to protect the county city. With the city breached, they both knew Chen Yu's thoughts and were willing to lay down their lives alongside him.

If three Gang Qi Stage martial artists desperately fought, even if the demons breached the county city, they hoped not to leave many survivors.

In this way, Chen Yu and his men would have achieved their goal.

Subtly, the attacks of Chen Yu and his two comrades became more ferocious, striking with lethal intent, completely disregarding defense and focusing solely on the offense.

The members of the Holy Shadows Sect and Red Flame Demon Sect felt a chill in their hearts, vaguely guessing the intentions of Chen Yu and his two companions.

At that moment, Xu Qing clenched his teeth, ready to forcibly take Gu Chen, along with Song Yu and Wang Yan, and leave.

With their combined strength, they could break through the encirclement.

But Gu Chen shook his head slightly. Looking at the land caught in the throes of war, he said, "I cannot leave."

Xu Qing said in a deep voice, "We must go. The enemy is too many; we are not their match, and we can't blindly sacrifice ourselves!"

Then, Gu Chen turned, looked straight into Xu Qing's eyes, and said, "Can you really leave?"

Xu Qing was stunned at his words.

Indeed, could they really leave?

Gu Chen's question was not about whether they could escape successfully, but about Xu Qing's heart.

Could he overcome the barrier within his heart?

Xu Qing was frozen, standing there, unsure. Could he leave?

Of course not!

So many old comrades had died here; if he left today, he would never get over it, trapped by his conscience for a lifetime! Even if he survived, he would be no different from a walking corpse, with the memories of today replaying endlessly in his mind.

With a clang, Xu Qing drew his long sword, ready to charge at the enemy.

But at that moment, Gu Chen stopped him, saying, "Commander Xu, take those who are left on the city walls with you, and deal with the enemies inside the city. Leave this place to me."

Xu Qing frowned and said gravely, "Have you thought this through? There are nearly a thousand enemies here!"

Gu Chen spoke calmly and softly, "Don't worry."

Xu Qing looked at Gu Chen and for some reason, he felt an absolute confidence emanating from Gu Chen. Recalling Gu Chen's strength, Xu Qing gritted his teeth and agreed.

Before leaving, he pulled Song Yu and Wang Yan away with him as their presence would only add to Gu Chen's trouble.

Xu Qing led the two of them towards the county city, but of course, the warriors of the demon sects en route did not agree, blocking their path.

Xu Qing was about to strike, but then a blast sounded near his ear. All the approaching demon warriors exploded on the spot, their blood and bones scattering in the air.

It was Gu Chen who had made a move.

Xu Qing, without looking back, saw that Gu Chen had cleared a bloody path for them. In just a short moment, several dozen demon warriors were slain.

And Xu Qing, along with Song Yu and Wang Yan, climbed to the top of the city walls.

"Gu Chen, how dare you defy my order!"

Seeing that Gu Chen had not only stayed but was also facing thousands of demon warriors alone, Chen Yu's face changed dramatically.

An elder of the Holy Shadows Sect laughed heartily, "Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating oneself. A mere outer Qi Stage warrior dares to be so presumptuous; indeed, a fitting subordinate for you, Chen Yu!"

Gu Chen remained silent; his face was expressionless. He reached for the hilt of his sword, gathered his energy within his body, and at the moment when the group of demon warriors got close, he drew his sword. Along with it, a dazzling sword light, like an aurora from beyond the sky, flashed and disappeared in an instant.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

Numerous sprays of blood shot out. With that single sword strike, nearly twenty demon warriors were slain.

Most of those people were at the Meridian Opening Stage, with a few at the Outer Qi Stage.

With Gu Chen's current physical toughness, impervious to fire and water, coupled with over four-hundred years of internal breath cultivation, slaughtering these men was truly like cutting through melons and vegetables.

"Roar!"

At that moment, the people from the Holy Shadows Sect controlled their iron corpses to rush towards Gu Chen. Their claws shimmered with a ghostly light, harboring deadly poison.

Gu Chen's face remained calm, his eyes slightly lowered, the inner breath and energy within his body coalescing into one point.

And in the instant those iron corpses lunged close to Gu Chen, the formidable internal breath inside him suddenly burst forth.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded, followed by the outburst of energy waves, as infinite white waves rolled out like fierce lands in the sea, impacting everything around and smashing against those iron corpses.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Without exception, those iron corpses that had reached close to Gu Chen exploded into pieces.

At that moment, Gu Chen faintly felt a pain in his mind; members of the Holy Shadows Sect were using their secret techniques, with an invisible force eroding his consciousness.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a heaven-shattering roar of dragons and tigers resounded, sending rolling soundwaves shaking the spirit. Several individuals from the Holy Shadows Sect immediately spat out blood, their vision darkening and blood overflowing from their noses and mouths as they fell unconscious.

Some warriors from the demon sects also squatted on the ground, clutching their heads in agonizing pain.

Only those at the Vajra Stage from the demonic sects managed to withstand the strike, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Gu Chen. Could this really be a warrior at the External Qi Stage?

"He is just one person, you worthless trash, kill him!" yelled an elder from the Holy Shadows Sect, as he saw Gu Chen single-handedly holding off over a thousand of their members, clearly frantic and enraged. Explore new worlds at m,v l'e-m|p y r

"Attack!"

A warrior at the Vajra Stage gave the cold order that the men from the Holy Shadows Sect control their iron corpses to besiege Gu Chen, while they would strike from afar.

They really couldn't believe that a warrior at the External Qi Stage could withstand so many of them.

Unfortunately for them, what they did not know was that while Gu Chen was at the External Qi Stage, his internal breath had reached an unprecedented four hundred and fourteen years. His internal breath was so profound and his qi so surging that even a warrior at the great completion of the Vajra Stage could not match him by far.

Boom!

Gu Chen fought alone against countless opponents, and each strike was powerful and weighty, like a domino effect; a single punch would set off a chain reaction, sending a dozen people flying out simultaneously.

Gu Chen stood in place without moving; he only needed to continually throw punches, like hitting a sandbag, sending one iron corpse after another flying into the sky, then shattering them to pieces.

Despite the demonic sect warriors' superior numbers, Gu Chen was protected by the Superior Martial Skill Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Golden Bell Shield, making ordinary attacks completely ineffective against him.

The iron corpses, with their copper skin and iron bones, were not much stronger than tofu under Gu Chen's fists, basically one punch for each one.

Seeing such strength from Gu Chen, the three commanders from the Sunset Sword Sect, including Chen Yu, had their eyes light up.

The faces of the demonic sect members turned grim, especially the elder from the Holy Shadows Sect, his speech choked and his complexion as cold as ice.

Before long, one hundred iron corpses had been killed by Gu Chen, and he was also covered with quite a bit of blood.

But it was all the enemy's blood, not a single drop was his own.

"Who else?"

Gu Chen stood in place, his tone calm, his gaze indifferent, without a trace of fatigue.

Once the physical body reaches the level that is invulnerable to fire and water, it can be said to have reached a state where the strength is continuous and one hardly feels weariness.

Moreover, Gu Chen's physique far surpassed that of ordinary people, robust and full of vigor, which was why he dared to face the members of the demonic sect alone.

Another reason was that most of these disciples from the demonic sect were not highly skilled, with only a few at the Vajra Stage and most being at the Convergence Stage or Visual Qi Stage, along with a few hundred corpse puppets.

Had there been more than ten warriors at the Vajra Stage from the demonic sect, Gu Chen would not have dared act so recklessly.

With Gu Chen's ruthless methods and overwhelming strength, slaughtering these people was as easy as butchering chickens, and even the demonic sect warriors felt a chill and hesitated to approach.

"Out of my way!"

At that moment, a burly figure approached Gu Chen. The man was tall and muscular with bronze skin and an extremely fierce gaze.

"Bronze Cast Iron Body?!" Chen Yu and the other two commanders, who were engaged in battle in the distance, suddenly had their gazes intensify.

They were all warriors at the Gang Qi Stage and naturally had exceptional vision, immediately recognizing the full strength of this burly man.

Among the warriors at the Vajra Stage, the vast majority only reached the first level that was invulnerable to fire and water, and only about thirty percent achieved the second level, the Bronze Cast Iron Body.

As for the third level, with a physique as tough as a wild dragon, not even ten percent could attain it.

The whole world was like this; looking at any power, those who could reach the second level of the Vajra Stage were naturally very few, and even the vast Jing Tian Department in Tiandu did not have many.

To reach such a level, one would receive great attention anywhere they went. In the Sunset Sword Sect, one would undoubtedly be a true successor.

Unexpectedly, the demonic sect had been willing to dispatch a peerless warrior who had reached the Bronze Cast Iron Body level to participate in the attack on the county city.

Standing opposite the burly man, Gu Chen also felt a slight pressure, as the man's physical presence was indeed substantial.

"So this is the Bronze Cast Iron Body?" Gu Chen sized up the man with the bronze skin in front of him, evaluating his strength.

"Wulna, kill him!" the elder from the Holy Shadows Sect shouted fiercely, clearly having great confidence in the large man.

"Die!"

Wulna let out a loud shout as his palm, large as a fan, plummeted toward the top of Gu Chen's head.

The gust of wind was fierce, but Gu Chen remained unflustered, countering with a palm strike of his own.

Bang!

The ground seemed to shake with their collision, with countless cracks spreading out from their feet like spiderwebs.

Gu Chen's brow rose slightly. This man named Wulna indeed had significant strength, not much less than his own.

Although Gu Chen hadn't reached the second level of the Vajra Stage, the Bronze Cast Iron Body, he had undergone numerous temperings and was in no way inferior to Wulna.

Furthermore, Gu Chen had cultivated Superior Martial Skills, and though he had only a rudimentary understanding, its power was formidable. He had not yet truly exerted himself.

"Kill!"

Wulna's voice was deep. He brought his palms together and slammed down toward Gu Chen. The strike was full of might, like a war hammer thrown down from the heavens.

"Great Vajra Fist!"

Gu Chen's expression was cold. He countered force with force, throwing a heavy, powerful punch. The punching wind was vast and piercing, with the air before him parting like waves on either side.

Thud!

Ripples rippled through the air, like the surface of a lake into which a stone had been cast. The clash between the two was actually a stalemate.

Wulna had been the aggressor up until then, which was not Gu Chen's style. He extended his thumb and lightly pressed it in the void, instantly launching a majestic and robust sword qi from his fingertip.

It was the Condensing Pulse Sword Wave!

Gu Chen's internal breath was simply too profound. Even though Wulna had reached the Bronze Cast Iron Body, with a harmony inside and out, he couldn't withstand it, and a bloody hole emerged on his body from which blood poured.

Of course, at the moment Gu Chen's Condensing Pulse Sword Wave was only at the initial mastery. Had it reached great mastery or perfection, that one strike could have taken half of Wulna's life.

"Roar!"

Seeing himself injured, Wulna roared to the sky, furiously. His body flickered with dark light, and his muscles coiled like little dragons, powerfully and dominantly punching toward Gu Chen.

Boom!

In that moment, a booming sound came from within Gu Chen's body, shining with golden light, turning even his hair to a pale gold. Closing his fingers into a fist, he threw a fierce punch.

"Pff!"

After Gu Chen engaged the Superior Martial Skill Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Golden Bell Shield, Wulna could no longer hold his ground. His gigantic body was sent flying with a single punch from Gu Chen, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
