Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

Chapter 672 Is there such a thing?

"At least he is a master of swordsmanship. No, he may be even stronger."

The two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

They originally thought that they had reached the pinnacle of the younger generation, but only now did they realize how terrifying the real strong ones were.

"careful!"

Ling Xiao suddenly shouted, grabbed Gu Sheng and quickly retreated.

Almost at the same time, a black shadow jumped out from the forest, and its sharp claws scratched across the place where Gu Sheng had just stood, leaving three deep grooves on the ground.

"Roar--"

A giant tiger with a pitch-black body appeared in front of the two people.

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the giant black tiger in front of him.

The Moyuan tiger was three meters tall, with strange dark patterns flowing on its black fur. Its pair of amber vertical pupils were staring at them intently, and a low roar came from its throat.

"At the peak of the underground palace, its aura is stronger than that of ordinary monsters."

Ling Xiao curled his lips, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

Gu Sheng, who was standing next to him, nodded slightly.

"It is comparable to a core disciple. Even a core disciple of the same realm may not be able to defeat it."

The spiritual energy of Xuanming Mountain is so dense that it almost turns into substance, forming a light mist between the mountains and forests.

Gu Sheng felt the spiritual energy in his body becoming more active and nodded with satisfaction.

This training environment is really good, no wonder it can breed such a powerful monster.

"You coming or me?"

Ling Xiao yawned, obviously not interested in this top-level monster in the underground palace.

Gu Sheng's lips curled up slightly.

"It's a good time to try out the new martial arts I learned."

He took a step forward, and as the spiritual energy in his body circulated, his cultivation was suppressed to the late stage of the Underground Palace.

With a flip of his right hand, a emerald green long sword appeared in his palm. The sword body was crystal clear, and green air flow could be vaguely seen inside.

Mo Yuanhu seemed to sense the contempt of the two people and suddenly let out a deafening roar.

The violent demonic energy spread out, and the large trees within dozens of feet around broke one after another under this pressure, making a teeth-grinding cracking sound.

"Roar--!"

With a tiger roar, the huge body of Mo Yuan Tiger turned into a black lightning and rushed straight towards Gu Sheng.

The sharp claws tore through the air, making a sharp sound.

Gu Sheng was not in a hurry and lightly swung the jade sword in his hand.

"Heavenly Sorrow Sword."

In an instant, a green sword energy burst out from the tip of the sword. The sword energy contained a strange rhythm, as if it could strike directly into the depths of the soul.

Ling Xiao, who was far away, frowned and felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, which reminded him of some long-lost memories.

"This martial art"

There was surprise in Ling Xiao's eyes.

"Can it affect other people's emotions?"

When the sword energy collided with the Mo Yuan Tiger, there was no earth-shattering explosion, but it penetrated into the body of the monster.

Mo Yuanhu's movements suddenly froze, and a human sadness emerged in his pupils that were filled with murderous intent.

"woo"

A mournful wail came from Mo Yuanhu's mouth, and its huge body began to tremble, as if it was experiencing some kind of mental torture.

Gu Sheng turned his wrist, and the jade sword drew a graceful arc.

"cut."

With a light "hiss" sound, Mo Yuanhu's body was neatly split into two halves in the middle. Blood spurted out and quickly gathered into a pool of blood on the ground.

The cut surfaces of the internal organs and bones were as smooth as a mirror, showing how sharp the sword was.

"Good swordsmanship."

Ling Xiao applauded and praised.

"This [Heavenly Sadness Sword] is indeed worthy of its reputation. It can actually make the opponent die in sorrow. It is really unique."

Gu Sheng put away the jade sword and smiled slightly.

"I just mastered it not long ago, so its power is still a little lacking."

While the two were talking, Tang Zhiyuan was staring at the scene from behind an ancient tree in the distance, his eyes full of shock.

"How can it be"

He murmured quietly.

"The Heavenly Sadness Sword is one of the three most difficult sword techniques to master in the inner sect. How long has he been a disciple?"

Tang Zhiyuan's hands clenched unconsciously, his nails digging deeply into his palms.

As a senior inner sect disciple, he practiced the [Heavenly Sadness Sword] for three years before he was able to master it. However, the new disciple Gu Sheng in front of him could already exert the power to influence other people's emotions!
“He must have a secret.”

There was greed in Tang Zhiyuan's eyes.

"Perhaps it is some kind of treasure that can speed up cultivation."

The smell of blood quickly spread through the mountains and forests, and the roars of other monsters could be heard in the distance.

Gu Sheng frowned.

"Let's go. Staying any longer will only cause more trouble."

Ling Xiao nodded, and the two were about to leave when they suddenly stopped at the same time.

"somebody is coming."

Gu Sheng whispered.

Sure enough, after a moment, five figures walked out of the woods.

They were dressed in uniform black robes with golden mountain patterns embroidered on their chests—the symbol of the core disciples of Xuanming Divine Mountain.

The leader was a handsome young man with a silver sword hanging from his waist. He walked with the gait of a dragon or a tiger, with extraordinary momentum.

His gaze lingered on Mo Yuanhu's body for a moment, with surprise in his eyes.

"My two junior brothers are very skilled."

The young man clasped his fists and smiled.

"I am Pan Zhuang, I don't know who you two are."

Gu Sheng bowed in return.

"My name is Gu Sheng, this is Ling Xiao. We are Taoist Yong'an's new disciples."

"Uncle Yongan's disciple?"

A female disciple behind Pan Zhuang exclaimed, and the expressions of the other people also became subtle.

Pan Zhuang's eyes gleamed, but he soon smiled again.

"So you are Uncle Yong'an's top disciple. No wonder you can kill this Moyuan Tiger so easily. I wonder if you two are interested in joining us?"

Ling Xiao said coldly.

"No need, we have things to do."

Pan Zhuang didn't take it as an offense and continued to laugh.

"We just found a wounded blood-marked python. There is a high possibility that there are fourth-grade spiritual herbs or even fifth-grade [Holy Infant Grass] in its lair."

"Holy Infant Grass?"

Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Pan Zhuang was secretly delighted and continued.

"That's right. Although the blood-marked python is injured, it is still a demon beast from the early stage of the underground palace. We can only win if we join forces. If the two of you can join us, our chances of winning will be even greater, and we can naturally split the spiritual herbs equally."

Gu Sheng looked at Ling Xiao, who shook his head slightly with a warning in his eyes.

"Sacred Infant Grass is useful to me."

Gu Sheng transmitted the message.

"It can help me break through the first level of [Nine Dragons Heaven and Earth Art]."

Ling Xiao frowned.

“This group of people clearly have bad intentions.”

"No problem, we'll see what happens."

Seeing that the two were silent, Pan Zhuang added.

"If you two are worried, you can leave at any time. We core disciples will not embarrass our fellow disciples."

Gu Sheng made a decision.

"Okay, we'll go with you to take a look."

A satisfied smile appeared on Pan Zhuang's face.

"Great! Let's get going without further delay."

When approaching the Xuanming Divine Mountain, he was swallowed up by an invisible force.

The entire mountain range was shrouded in an eerie darkness.

"Everyone, be careful, this is the real danger zone."

Pan Zhuang lowered his voice, holding a night-shining pearl in his hand that emitted a faint light, barely illuminating the road a few steps ahead.

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes, feeling the fluctuations of spiritual energy surging around him.

His fingers unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Ling Xiao beside him seemed even more nervous.

"Brother Pan, are you sure that the monster is really seriously injured?"

Ling Xiao couldn't help but confirm again, his voice was so low that it was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

Pan Zhuang turned around and glared at him. "How could I have lied if I saw it with my own eyes? The whole valley was shaken by the battle last night. If I hadn't seen the opportunity, I wouldn't have called you along."

"A demon beast close to the Heavenly Palace Realm."

Gu Sheng muttered to himself, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Even if he's injured, it's not something we can deal with easily."

"That's why we have to kill it while it's sick!"

A tall and thin monk behind Pan Zhuang interrupted and said, his name is Zhao Wuhen, and he is Pan Zhuang's best friend.

"The treasures in that beast's lair are enough for all of us to break through a small realm!"

The team continued to move forward in the darkness, everyone suppressed their breathing to the lowest level, and even the sound of footsteps was almost inaudible.

Gu Sheng's spiritual sense spread quietly, sensing the movements within a hundred feet radius.

"and many more!"

Gu Sheng suddenly raised his hand to signal the team to stop, and everyone's nerves tensed up instantly.

"what happened?"

Pan Zhuang asked nervously.

Gu Sheng did not answer, but closed his eyes and concentrated on sensing. After a moment, he whispered.

"Something is coming from the northeast."

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath and quickly hid in the bushes on the side of the road.

Ling Xiao was a beat too slow and was pulled into the bushes by Pan Zhuang.

"Concentrate your breath!"

Pan Zhuang's message was secret and his voice contained an unquestionable command.

Heavy footsteps came from afar, accompanied by heavy breathing.

Through the gaps in the grass, Gu Sheng saw a huge black shadow moving slowly.

It was a monster that looked like a giant wolf, completely black except for its eyes which glowed scarlet.

With every step it took, the ground shook slightly.

"Peak of Underground Palace Realm"

Gu Sheng made his judgment in his mind, and at the same time secretly felt lucky that he had discovered it in advance.

The monster stopped less than ten feet away from where they were hiding, and turned its huge head left and right, as if it was sniffing something.

Ling Xiao's breathing became rapid, and Gu Sheng could sense his fear.

"Hold still."

Gu Sheng transmitted a message to Ling Xiao, and at the same time quietly injected a stream of spiritual power into his body to help him calm his breath.

The monster suddenly took a step towards them, and everyone became tense.

Pan Zhuang's hand was already on the storage bag, ready to take out the life-saving talisman at any time.

At this critical moment, a sharp scream was heard from a distance.

The giant wolf monster immediately changed direction and ran towards the source of the sound, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"call--"

Zhao Wuhen let out a long sigh and almost collapsed on the ground.

"It was too dangerous. I almost died here."

"Shut up!"

Pan Zhuang shouted harshly.

"Do you want to attract other monsters?"

Gu Sheng stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.

"Brother Pan, how far are we from the goal?"

Pan Zhuang looked around and identified the direction.

"Just cross the canyon ahead."

He pointed to a narrow passage between two peaks not far away.

"That's where we found two monsters fighting last night."

Ling Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Brother Pan, how did you escape at that time? Didn't the monster chase you?"

Pan Zhuang had an embarrassed look on his face.

"We used the Earth Escape Talisman. The beast did chase us for a while, but it seemed to be too badly injured and finally gave up."

“You are really lucky.”

Gu Sheng said calmly, but his eyes were fixed in the direction of the canyon.

"Is the Holy Infant Grass really there?"

"Absolutely true!"

Pan Zhuang patted his chest and made the promise.

"I saw with my own eyes a medicinal field deep in the cave, and there were three Holy Infant Grasses in it!"

Hearing the words "holy infant grass", Gu Sheng's eyes were filled with eagerness. This magical medicine was very effective in practicing special skills, which was exactly what he needed at the moment.

The team reorganized and continued to move towards the canyon.

As we go deeper, the surrounding environment becomes more eerie.

The rock walls on both sides of the canyon were covered with dark red vines, wriggling like blood vessels in the dim light.

"These are soul-eating vines, don't touch them."

Gu Sheng reminded.

"Once entangled, the monk can be sucked dry in a few breaths."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately moved away from the rock wall and walked in the center of the canyon.

The stream under my feet gurgles, and the sound of water is particularly clear in the silent canyon.

"Coming!"

Pan Zhuang suddenly exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the end of the canyon.

"Look there!"

Outside the monster cave, there was a thin mist and a faint fishy smell in the air.

"finally reached."

Jin Xianyun stood at the front of the team, her slender fingers gently stroking the jade belt around her waist, excitement in her eyes.

"It is said that this cave contains treasures left by ancient monks. If we can find them."

Before she finished her words, Yu Tianyi came forward attentively.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Jin, if I get any treasure, you will be the first person I think of."

Jin Xianyun smiled softly with her hands covering her lips, her eyes moving with a hint of charm.

"Brother Yu treats me so well."

Seeing this, Pan Zhuang, who was standing by, walked forward with a barely perceptible coldness in his eyes.

"Junior Sister Jin, I heard that the legendary [Holy Infant Grass] might be growing in the cave. If I can get it, I will definitely give it to you."

"Really?"

Jin Xianyun's eyes lit up, she turned around and faced Pan Zhuang, her voice so sweet that it seemed honey could drip out.

"If Senior Brother Pan can really get the Holy Infant Grass for me, I am willing to do anything for you."

Yu Tianyi's face froze, and his hand gripping the hilt of the sword tightened, but he quickly forced a smile.

"Junior Brother Pan, you are joking. It is not easy to find a spiritual object like the Holy Infant Grass."

Pan Zhuang glanced at Yu Tianyi with a smile but didn't say anything.

Gu Sheng stood at the edge of the team, watching everything coldly.

He noticed that when Pan Zhuang was talking to Jin Xianyun, his eyes would always unconsciously glance towards the depths of the cave, and there was some secret desire hidden in his eyes.

"Gu Sheng, what are you thinking about?"

Ling Xiao walked up to Gu Sheng and asked in a low voice.

Gu Sheng retracted his gaze and said calmly.

"Nothing, I just think this cave is a little weird."

Ling Xiao nodded.

"Indeed, I always feel like something is watching us."

Just then, Pan Zhuang suddenly raised his voice.

"Everyone, there is one thing we must confirm before entering the cave - who among you has brought the Azure Dragon Token?"

Everyone looked at each other. Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao looked at each other and each took out a jade token from their arms.

"I brought it."

Gu Sheng said calmly.

"Me too."
