"No, it's impossible!"

Wang Xiujie's eyes widened.

"He is absorbing the power of a Saint Lord-level monster?!"

Lu Feng and others were speechless and could only stare at the scene in horror.

They suddenly realized what kind of monster they were chasing.

Gu Sheng's body slowly floated up, and the black and red light beams gradually converged, but the suction force of the vortex between his eyebrows became stronger and stronger.

The blood river began to form a huge vortex with him as the center; the river water, spiritual energy, and even light were distorted and swallowed up!
"Run. Run!"

Wang Xiujie finally got scared and his voice trembled.

"Leave the Blood River! Now!"

The battle formation changed direction and rushed madly towards the river.

Lu Feng and others also reacted and tried their best to swim upstream.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Deep in the blood river, huge monsters exploded one after another, and the shock waves generated by the explosions lifted the blood within a radius of a hundred meters into the sky.

The scarlet river water poured down, shaking the entire sky.

In the chaos, Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.

The scarlet world was reflected in his pupils, and the raised vortex on his forehead was slowly dissipating.

He reached out and touched his forehead, feeling a black spirit stone glowing with blood there.

It was the relic he obtained from the Lord of Qingsheng City.

"This is."

Gu Sheng looked inside himself and was shocked to find that the spiritual energy in his body was surging. His cultivation had actually broken through the shackles of the underground palace realm and reached the heavenly palace realm!

What’s even more astonishing is that his physical strength has skyrocketed to the middle to late stage of the Heavenly Palace Realm!

"Blood River, can it be so effective?"

Gu Sheng felt the surging power in his body, with ecstasy in his eyes.

Those terrifying monsters that were comparable to the Holy Lord were exploding and dying one after another. Their black blood merged into the river water and was then absorbed by the vortex between their eyebrows.

The oppressive feeling emanating from the monsters recently even reminded him of Saint Lord Tianlan!
"boom!"

The last red-haired monster exploded, and the blood river suddenly fell into an eerie calm.

The monsters that besieged Wang Xiujie and others retreated and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The vortex between Gu Sheng’s eyebrows finally disappeared completely, and his skyrocketing strength also stabilized.

But the surroundings were still filled with violent energy turbulence, and the washed-away river water began to flow back, pushing him towards the direction of the peerless sword that was inserted into the sky.

"God help me too!"

Gu Sheng swam towards the sword.

With every stroke, his body would leap dozens of feet forward, and his speed would be several times faster than before!
At the same time, Wang Xiujie and others had just recovered from the shock of surviving the disaster.

"All dead?"

Wang Xiujie was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! God won't let me down! That kid must have been left with no body left!"

Lu Feng and others were not so optimistic. They stared at Wang Xiujie coldly, their eyes full of resentment.

If that bastard hadn't abandoned them and escaped alone, their people wouldn't have suffered so many casualties.

"Find! Find Gu Sheng's body for me!"

Wang Xiujie shouted sternly.

"The secrets he carries must not be lost!"

The golden light of the battle formation lit up again, and Wang Xiujie and his confidants rushed into the energy storm that had not yet subsided.

The center of the storm was empty, not even a piece of cloth was left, let alone a corpse.

"how is this possible?"

Wang Xiujie's face was as gloomy as water.

"Did the monster eat everything?"

Lu Feng and others also rushed in and were equally shocked when they saw this scene.

"Search in different directions!"

Wang Xiujie gritted his teeth.

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"

Just as everyone was about to disperse and search, suddenly a wandering cultivator pointed to the distance in horror.

"That's it"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a figure at the end of the blood river swimming towards the peerless sword at an astonishing speed.

Although the distance is far, but that familiar figure, who else could it be but Gu Sheng?

"Gu Sheng?!"

Wang Xiujie’s eyes almost popped out.

"He's not dead?!"

After a brief shock, unprecedented greed broke out in Wang Xiujie's eyes.

"Chase! We must catch him! He is more valuable alive than dead!"

The independent cultivator who first discovered Gu Sheng could not wait to rush out, and he burst out with all his strength at the Heavenly Palace Realm, increasing his speed to the extreme.

The others also reacted and mobilized their spiritual power to catch up.

For a moment, the river of blood was filled with sparkling light and murderous aura!
Gu Sheng noticed the movement behind him, turned around and his heart suddenly tightened.

But he quickly calmed down, feeling the surging power in his body, and sneered.

"Want to chase me?"

Gu Sheng kicked his legs hard, increasing his speed again.

"Then let's try it!"

Although his cultivation is still not as good as Wang Xiujie and others, Gu Sheng's current physical strength is enough to make up for the gap.

He was as agile as a fish swimming in the river of blood, and every time he exerted force he was able to create some distance.

In the distance, Ling Xiao, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene and was so excited that he exclaimed three times.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He didn't expect that Gu Sheng not only survived, but turned a disaster into a blessing and greatly improved his strength.

Now that Gu Sheng has escaped from trouble, what awaits him next is likely to be a greater opportunity.

Of course, there could also be a bigger crisis.

"Brother Gu, it all depends on your luck from now on."

In Ling Xiao's mind, ancient pictures flashed through his mind——

The sky trembled and dark clouds covered the sun.

Countless fairies and demons were fighting in the sky, the light of magic weapons pierced the sky, and the aftermath of magic shattered the mountains and rivers.

Blood spilled, dyeing the entire land red. The monsters that fell from the sky were exactly the same as the ones he saw in the blood river.
"So that's how it is." Ling Xiao murmured in a low voice.

"These monsters are actually the remains of the ancient war between immortals and demons."

He looked up at the blood river. The most terrifying monsters had been annihilated with Gu Sheng's transformation, and the remaining ones fled in all directions.

There were broken limbs floating on the river, some belonging to monsters and some to pursuers.

A monk with a broken arm was struggling in blood, his pale face full of fear.

Another monk whose abdomen was bitten by the monster was already dead and drifting with the current.
"It's your own fault."

Ling Xiao shook his head and turned his gaze to the two groups of people still chasing in the distance.

Wang Xiujie's blood was boiling at this moment.

Looking around, Liefeng was dead, Lu Feng and others were wounded, but his confidants suffered the least losses because of the protection of the battle formation.

"Brothers!"

Wang Xiujie shouted loudly.

"Gu Sheng is right in front! Catch him and share his secrets!"

"Kill!" The man in black was the first to respond, with greed in his eyes.

The other followers also accelerated as if they were given an injection of chicken blood, completely ignoring their injuries.

In their eyes, Gu Sheng is no longer a living person, but a huge opportunity!

Gu Sheng felt the murderous aura getting closer and closer behind him, and his heart was burning with anger.

He was aware of the gap in strength between himself and these pursuers.

Even if his strength increases to the Heavenly Palace realm after waking up, he can only compete with ordinary Heavenly Palace cultivators.

As for Wang Xiujie and the others, their cultivation level is at least at the Tribulation Crossing Stage!

"If it weren't for the blood river suppressing it."

Gu Sheng glanced back.

Wang Xiujie's battle formation was shining brightly, and its speed was nearly twice as fast as before. The distance between the two sides was rapidly shortening!
"Gu Sheng! You can't escape!"

Wang Xiujie grinned.

"I will chop off your head with my own hands as a sacrifice to my brother!"

Gu Sheng snorted coldly, turned around and punched out!
"Boom!" The fist wind stirred up a huge blood wave, turning into a blood-colored tornado and crashing towards the battle formation.

Wang Xiujie was caught off guard, his battle formation was shaken by the impact, and his speed suddenly slowed down.

"sucker Punch!"

Wang Xiujie was furious and took out a blood-colored pill from his arms and swallowed it.

"Blood Burning Pill! Explode for me!"

"boom!"

The aura around him suddenly surged, and the speed of the battle formation increased again!

Gu Sheng's heart trembled, he no longer wanted to fight, turned around and continued to charge forward.

Ahead, the end of the blood river is just around the corner.

The peerless sword that was inserted into the sky, with its blade emitting a heart-pounding cold light, was only a thousand meters away from him!
"Sky-killing Sword"

Gu Sheng could feel the terrifying power contained in the sword.

"If I get this sword, my strength will at least double!"

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Even if he got the sword, facing a strong man like Wang Xiujie, it would still be difficult to survive.

"No!"

"Even if I die, I'll take a few people with me!"

The spiritual power in Gu Sheng's body was running wildly, resisting the pressure of the blood river, and his speed increased again!

On the top of the mountain where the blood river starts, the Holy Maiden of Qinghe quietly watched the river surface gradually calming down in the distance.

"Those horrible auras disappeared."

Ryuguong whispered.

"Looks like it's over."

The saint did not answer, her eyes fell on the wreckage floating on the river.

Corpses were floating on the water, some of them unrecognizable.

"They are all the people who are chasing Gu Sheng"

The Saint said softly, her voice trembling slightly.

Long Gong thought she was sympathizing with her fellow disciple and comforted her.

"Life and death are determined by fate, so don't blame others."

The saint remained silent.

She felt an inexplicable pain in her chest. Even though she hated Gu Sheng, she felt a dull pain in her heart when she thought that he might have died at the bottom of the river.

"What's wrong with me."

The saint held her chest with confusion in her eyes.

Ryugong noticed her abnormality but misunderstood the reason.

"Don't think too much. Gu Sheng's death is a good thing for the Holy Land."

The saint nodded reluctantly without explaining.

"boom!"

An inky sword energy descended from the sky, and wherever it passed, the blood river exploded. The terrifying energy fluctuations evaporated all the river water within a hundred meters radius!
Gu Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and he hastily raised the Ancient Samsara Bell to resist.

The bell body trembled and made a dull roar. The moment the black sword energy collided with the bell body, blood oozed from the corner of Gu Sheng's mouth and his body was pushed back dozens of feet by the impact force.

"Hahaha!"

Wang Xiujie's laughter came from behind.

"Gu Sheng, you really should let the Qinghe Saint Lady see your current appearance!"

He stood at the forefront of the battle formation. Although he had not yet caught up with Gu Sheng, his attack was already within reach.

Looking at Gu Sheng's miserable appearance of vomiting blood, Wang Xiujie's eyes were filled with morbid excitement.

I even began to imagine what expression the Saint Maiden Qinghe would have when she witnessed this scene.

"Come again!"

Wang Xiujie swung his sword again with a grim smile, this time intentionally using less force.

The black sword energy whizzed towards him, and Gu Sheng had no way to avoid it, and was hit in the chest again!
"puff--"

A mouthful of blood spurted out and Gu Sheng flew backwards.

Wang Xiujie's younger brothers laughed shrilly and hurled all kinds of humiliating remarks at them.

"What genius? He's nothing but a lost dog!"

"Brother Wang, cut off his tongue and see how he can still be so stubborn!"

"Waste is waste, and they don't even dare to resist!"

Gu Sheng's eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a rattling sound.

A violent rage rose from the bottom of his heart, and he wished he could turn around and fight Wang Xiujie to the death.

The Ancient Samsara Bell suddenly rang on its own. The clear sound flowed through Gu Sheng's heart, calming his boiling murderous intent a little.

"Be patient for a while."

Gu Sheng suppressed the urge to fight desperately.

"If there is still no hope after getting the sword, it will never be too late to fight again!"

He endured the humiliation and continued to flee forward.

Although he looks embarrassed on the surface, Gu Sheng is not without a trump card.

The mysterious world of immortality in his body and the mysterious woman sleeping in it are his last resort.

If he is really forced into a desperate situation, he will not hesitate to expose these secrets or even anger that mysterious being!

Seeing that Gu Sheng was only concerned with escaping and had no intention of resisting, Wang Xiujie's last bit of vigilance disappeared.

"Trash is trash!"

He laughed loudly and swung the golden sword repeatedly, and sword energy that weakened the power kept slashing towards Gu Sheng.

"Come on, resist! Aren't you a genius?"

Every sword energy left a scar on Gu Sheng's body, and blood stained his robes red.

Wang Xiujie's younger brothers laughed even more unscrupulously, and some even deliberately controlled the magic to fly across Gu Sheng's scalp and cut off a strand of his hair for fun.

From a distance, Lu Feng saw this scene and frowned.

"Wang Xiujie is simply insane!"

And further away, a white figure had quietly jumped into the blood river at some point.

It’s the Holy Maiden of Qinghe!

She stood on a protruding rock, looking at the scene of Gu Sheng being humiliated from afar. Her eyes became moist without her knowing, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest.

"Why."

The saint pressed her chest, her voice barely audible.

“Why does it hurt so much?”

Ryugong stood beside her, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"It's great! Gu Sheng suppressed us six holy places in the Holy Road and now he has ended up like this. It's really satisfying!"

The saint did not respond, but bit her lower lip tightly until she tasted blood.

On the other side, Ling Xiao, who was hiding in the dark, wanted to help several times but forced himself to suppress the impulse.

"Brother Gu, hold on a little longer."

“Action now will only make the situation worse.”

In the river of blood, Gu Sheng was hit on the back by a sword energy again and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

His legs had begun to feel weak, but his eyes were fixed on the peerless sword in front of him.

Suddenly, his heart began to beat wildly.

There was a familiar soul floating above the sword! The soul was burning like a ghost fire from hell, emitting a frightening aura.

"That is."

An inexplicable sense of familiarity came over Gu Sheng.

"Could it be"

Before he could think about it, his soul suddenly beat violently, and an invisible wave was transmitted into Gu Sheng's mind.

"Come here quickly."

This sound was like thunder exploding in Gu Sheng's mind! His whole body was shaken, and an unprecedented powerful aura suddenly burst out from his body!
"boom!"

The air wave exploded with Gu Sheng as the center, draining away the blood and water around it.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, Gu Sheng's speed increased dramatically and he rushed towards the sword!
"not good!"

Wang Xiujie's face changed drastically.

"Stop him!"

Dozens of attacks were launched at the same time, but all of them missed.

Gu Sheng bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto his palms, then he slammed his hands together.

The essence and blood burned, turning into blood-red flames that enveloped the entire body. The body that was originally weak to the extreme suddenly burst out with amazing momentum again!
