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

"Second brother, when did you learn how to refine pills?"

Gu Sheng did not answer, focusing intently on controlling the heat.

His every movement was fluid and graceful, as if he had practiced it a thousand times.

As the last medicinal herb was placed into the furnace, the aroma of the herbs in the entire hall became so strong that it formed a light mist. Gu Lie's pale face gradually regained color in this mist.

Fifteen minutes later, the alchemy furnace suddenly shook violently, and the lid was blown open by a burst of white steam.

With quick reflexes, Gu Sheng reached out and grabbed two crystal-clear pills, which landed in his palm.

"Nine-Turn Glazed Pill!"

The Azure Dragon Venerable's voice almost changed tone.

"A fourth-grade pill can actually produce nine pill patterns! Just what kind of monster is this kid?"

Gu Feng was also stunned.

The two pills were like carved glass, with nine clearly visible golden lines on their surface, shimmering with a strange light under the lamp.

Without delay, Gu Sheng immediately fed one of the pills to Gu Lie. The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a golden thread that slid down his throat. Moments later, Gu Lie's body suddenly arched, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Father!"

Gu Feng exclaimed in surprise.

The black blood fell to the ground, corroding the stone slabs with a hissing sound and emitting wisps of blue smoke. Gu Lie's breathing gradually calmed down, and the black aura on his face faded away at a visible speed.

After another cup of tea's time, Gu Lie's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Father!"

Gu Feng burst into tears of joy.

Gu Lie's gaze was still somewhat unfocused, but it suddenly lit up when he saw Gu Sheng.

"Sheng'er, you're back."

Gu Sheng grasped his father's hand, his voice softening considerably.

"The poison has been neutralized, you should rest well."

Gu Lie struggled to sit up and looked around.

"Am I poisoned?"

"It is the Five Poisons Heart-Eating Powder."

Gu Sheng said calmly.

"Does Father know who did it?"

Upon hearing "Five Poisons," Gu Lie's expression visibly stiffened, and his eyes showed apprehension.

He remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"It was the Five Poisons Sect. They attacked me while I was attending the auction."

A flash of murderous intent crossed Gu Sheng's eyes, but his tone remained calm.

"Father, rest assured and focus on your recovery. I will handle this matter."

Gu Lie suddenly grabbed Gu Sheng's wrist.

"Sheng'er, the Five Poisons Sect is not simple, they..."

"I know."

Gu Sheng gently patted his father's hand.

"Please get some rest."

Gu Feng couldn't help but interject.

"Second brother, I'll go with you!"

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"You stay and take care of your father."

Seeing that Gu Feng was still going to argue, he added.

"My father has just recovered from the poisoning and needs someone to protect him."

At this moment, the voice of the Azure Dragon Venerable rang in Gu Feng's mind.

"Kid, don't make things worse. Your second brother's strength far exceeds your imagination. In his eyes, the Five Poisons Sect is nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs."

Gu Feng looked at Gu Sheng in surprise, but the latter had already gotten up and walked towards the door.

"Sheng'er!"

Gu Lie called out from behind.

"Be very careful. Mo Wuyai, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, is treacherous and ruthless. He still has [weapons]..."

Gu Sheng paused slightly, but did not turn around.

"I know."

Meanwhile, inside a black palace on the outskirts of Jinwu City.

Mo Wuyai, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, was toying with a talisman that was entirely emerald green, a sinister smile on his face. The talisman's surface was covered with intricate patterns, occasionally emitting a dangerous glow.

"That old bastard Gu Lie, he's been poisoned by the Five Poisons Heart-Eating Powder and still wants to resist?"

Mo Wuyai sneered.

"It's really over the top."

Below the main hall, several disciples of the Five Poisons Sect fawned over him.

"Sect Leader is wise! The Gu family dares to oppose our Five Poisons Sect just because they have a few stinking coins!"

"That's right! The Heavenly Rank Spirit Talisman at this auction should have belonged to us, but Gu Lie dared to raise the price!"

Mo Wuyai narrowed his eyes, his fingertips gently caressing the talisman.

"With this 'Azure Sea Tide Talisman,' the Five Poisons Sect's dominance of Golden Crow City is just around the corner."

He suddenly gave a sinister smile.

"Once Gu Lie dies, the Gu family will be leaderless, and all their assets will be ours."

"With a Heavenly Rank Spirit Talisman in hand, Golden Crow City is within our grasp!"

Inside the main hall of the Five Poisons Sect, Sect Master Mo Tianxie held aloft a talisman radiating a dark purple light, his face full of a ferocious smile.

The surface of the talisman was covered with strange patterns, as if countless poisonous insects were wriggling inside.

"The sect master is mighty!"

"The Five Poisons Sect will soon dominate Golden Crow City!"

Hundreds of disciples inside the hall shouted in unison.

They were dressed in uniform dark green robes with the Five Poisons pattern embroidered on their chests, and each of them had a morbid excitement on their face.

Mo Tianxie surveyed the crowd with satisfaction, his voice chilling.

"Three days from now, I will use this talisman to challenge the Golden Crow City Lord. At that time—"

"Report!"

A piercing scream interrupted him. The main hall door was violently flung open, and a disciple covered in blood staggered in, his left arm missing, black blood gushing from the severed wound.

"Sect Master, something terrible has happened! Someone has stormed the mountain gate!"

After the disciple finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground and died.

The hall fell silent instantly.

Mo Tianxie's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply.

"What's going on? Who dares to offend my Five Poisons Sect?"

"Reporting to the Sect Master"

A deacon stepped forward, trembling.

"All the outer guards have been killed; only one person has arrived."

"fart!"

Mo Tianxie shattered the stone chair beside him with a single palm strike.

"Our Five Poisons Sect has over three hundred disciples guarding the mountain, and is further protected by a poison array. How could it be broken by just one person?"

The deacon turned ashen-faced.

"That person...that person wields an ancient sword, every strike draws blood, and has already killed dozens of our disciples. He's heading towards the main hall."

"waste!"

Mo Tianxie laughed in extreme anger.

"I'd like to see who dares to—"

"No need to look."

A chilling voice came from outside the hall, like an icicle piercing everyone's ears in the dead of winter.

A tall, slender figure in black slowly entered through the entrance of the main hall.

The newcomer was dressed in black, with a cold and stern face. He carried an ancient longsword in his hand, the blade stained with blood, leaving a scarlet trail on the ground.

What's most alarming is that there's no spiritual energy fluctuation around him, yet he exudes an unfathomable sense of oppression.

"Who are you?"

Mo Tianxie narrowed his eyes, his venomous gaze sweeping over the newcomer.

The young man in black raised his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

"Gu Sheng."

The two simple words caused the temperature in the hall to drop sharply.

"Gu Sheng?"

Mo Tianxie frowned in thought, then sneered.

"A nobody like you dares to trespass into my Five Poisons Sect? You're courting death!"

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Sect Master Mo, you seem to have a bad memory. Half a month ago, you severely injured a martial artist named Gu Lie outside Golden Crow City. Do you remember?"

Mo Tianxie was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized.

"Oh? That overconfident old fool? I merely dealt with an ant with a flick of my wrist. What, you're here to avenge him?"

"He is my father."

Gu Sheng's voice was calm, yet it sent a shiver down the spines of everyone present.

Mo Tianxie burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hahaha, so that's how it is! That old bastard was hit by my Five Poisons Heart-Eating Palm, and he's probably turned into a pool of pus and blood by now, right?" Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with killing intent, and the ancient sword in his hand hummed.

"So, I'm here to demand an explanation."

"Demanding an explanation?"

Mo Tianxie grinned maliciously.

"Boy, do you know where you are? This is the headquarters of my Five Poisons Sect! You've come here alone; you're just asking to die!"

He suddenly waved his hand, and dozens of elite disciples immediately surged out from around the main hall, each wielding a poisoned blade, surrounding Gu Sheng.

"Kneel down and beg for mercy now, and I might grant you a quick death."

Mo Tianxie said in a sinister tone.

"Otherwise, I'll let you taste the agony of a thousand poisons gnawing at your heart!"

Gu Sheng looked around, his expression unchanged.

"that's it?"

"Insanity!"

Mo Tianxie roared angrily.

"Get it for me!"

Dozens of disciples attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of poisonous mists, needles, and blades at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng stood still, only gently raising the ancient sword in his hand.

"Broken wind".

As the two words were uttered, the ancient sword suddenly emitted a dazzling blue light. A sword aura swept out, and wherever it passed, the poisonous mist dissipated, the poisonous needles shattered, and the poisonous blades broke.

"what!"

Screams of agony rose and fell. Dozens of disciples were sent flying backward, crashing into the stone pillars of the main hall, coughing up blood. Several others were even sliced ​​in half at the waist by the sword energy, their internal organs spilling onto the ground.

Mo Tianxie's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Spiritual weapon?!"

Gu Sheng flicked the blood off his sword and slowly walked forward.

"Now, it's our turn."

Mo Tianxie's face was ashen.

"Boy, don't think you can run rampant just because you have a magical artifact! I am at the peak of the Profound Martial Realm, and I also have a Heaven-Rank spiritual talisman in hand. Killing you is as easy as slaughtering a dog!"

"is it?"

Gu Sheng sneered.

"Then why are you trembling?"

Mo Tianxie was furious upon hearing this, but he found that his palms were indeed sweating. The pressure from this young man was even stronger than when he faced the Golden Crow City Lord.

"court death!"

Mo Tianxie roared, and his palms glowed with a purplish-black poisonous light.

"Five Poisons Heart-Eating Palm!"

The palm strike whistled, carrying a foul-smelling poisonous mist that rushed towards Gu Sheng.

Wherever the poisonous fog passed, the stone slabs on the ground were corroded into pits, demonstrating the severity of the poison.

Gu Sheng neither dodged nor evaded, but instead sheathed his sword, clenched his right fist, and threw a punch at the poisonous palm.

"court death!"

Mo Tianxie grinned maliciously.

"How dare you take my poisonous palm strike head-on!"

Fists and palms collided, creating a shockwave.

"puff--"

Mo Tianxie spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the main seat of the hall, shattering the jade chair into pieces.

"Master!"

The disciples exclaimed in surprise.

Mo Tianxie struggled to his feet, a smug look on his face.

"Haha. Kid, you've been poisoned by my Five Poisons Heart-Eating Powder. In less than three breaths, you'll be reduced to a pool of pus and blood!"

Gu Sheng stood there, looking at him expressionlessly.

One breath. Two breaths. Three breaths.
Mo Tianxie's smile froze on his face.

"Impossible! How are you alright?"

A faint white mist suddenly rose from Gu Sheng's body, and wisps of pale purple poisonous smoke were expelled from his pores.

He smiled contemptuously.

"Five Poisons Heart-Eating Powder? It's just trash."

"Who are you?"

Mo Tianxie finally panicked.

"The Five Poisons Heart-Eating Powder is our sect's most treasured poison; anyone below the Xuanwu Realm who touches it will die. How could you possibly..."

Gu Sheng walked forward slowly.

Have you ever heard of the Phenomenon Emperor?

"The Cathode Poison Emperor?!"

Mo Tianxie was struck dumb.

"Impossible! That was the legendary Supreme Poison Master, who perished a thousand years ago! You..."

"It seems you know."

Gu Sheng sneered.

"Then you should understand that your Five Poisons Sect's meager poison techniques are not even worth trash in the face of the Poison Emperor's legacy."

Mo Tianxie's face turned ashen, and he suddenly shouted sharply.

"Boy! Don't be so smug! My Five Poisons Sect's patriarch is a powerful Earth Martial Realm expert. If you kill me, my patriarch will make you wish you were dead!"

"Earth Martial Realm?"

Gu Sheng scoffed.

"Is it great?"

Before he finished speaking, the Broken Wind Ancient Sword in his hand was already drawn.

The sword flashed like lightning, disappearing in an instant.

Mo Tianxie maintained his threatening expression, but his head had already flown high into the air. Blood gushed from his neck, splattering onto the faces of the surrounding disciples.

There was dead silence in the hall.

All the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect were stunned, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Their invincible sect leader was actually beheaded with a single sword strike?
"The sect leader...is dead?"

"A deacon murmured."

"Run!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and chaos erupted inside the hall. Hundreds of disciples, like frightened birds, scrambled to escape from the hall, many being pushed to the ground and trampled.

"run?"

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Today, not a single member of the Five Poisons Sect will be spared."

Before he could finish speaking, his figure had already become a blur. The fallen leaves on the ground didn't even have time to be stirred up by the air currents before Gu Sheng appeared thirty feet away, striking the back of the Five Poisons Sect disciple who was fleeing in panic.

"what--"

The screams stopped abruptly.

The disciple's body flew out like a rag doll, crashing into the stone wall, and blood trickled down the cracks in the wall.

Gu Sheng withdrew his hand expressionlessly and turned to walk towards his next target.

His movements were incredibly fast, and every strike was precise, ruthless, and left no room for error.

The disciples of the Five Poisons Sect were horrified to discover that no matter how they scattered and fled, that deathly figure always followed them like a shadow.

After an incense stick had burned, Gu Sheng slowly walked out of the main hall of the Five Poisons Sect.

His robes remained impeccably clean, without a single wrinkle, as if the massacre had nothing to do with him. Behind him, the scattered corpses silently testified to the brutality of the slaughter.

"The Five Poisons Sect is nothing special."

Gu Sheng said softly, taking out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and slowly wiping his fingers.

Suddenly, his brow twitched slightly as he sensed an unusual fluctuation emanating from the innate spiritual embryo within his body.

Gu Sheng closed his eyes and focused his mind, following the guidance to the Five Poisons Sect's warehouse. Pushing open the heavy iron door, a smell mixed with the fragrance of medicine and the stench of mildew wafted out.

"This is."

Gu Sheng's gaze fell on an inconspicuous jade box in the corner.

He reached out and the jade box flew into his palm automatically. Inside, a spirit herb with five leaves, each a different color, lay quietly.

"Five-Colored Immortal Herb?"

Gu Sheng looked surprised.

"Legend has it that this herb has five leaves, each belonging to one of the five elements. When used alone, it is extremely poisonous, but when refined together, it grants immunity to all poisons."

Without hesitation, he put the jade box into his storage ring, then flicked his finger, and a wisp of blue flame landed on the main hall of the Five Poisons Sect.

The fire spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Five Poisons Sect's headquarters was engulfed in flames.

Gu Sheng stood at a distance, watching the towering flames illuminate half the sky, his face remaining calm and composed.

"It's time to go back."

He turned and left, his silhouette casting a long shadow in the firelight.

The next morning, in the main hall of the Gu family home.

"What? The Five Poisons Sect was wiped out last night?"

Gu Lie almost dropped the teacup in his hand, and was completely unaware that tea had splashed onto his robes.

The镖师 (bodyguard/escort) who came to deliver the message knelt on one knee, his voice trembling. (End of Chapter)
