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

"He'll die if this continues!"

Gu Sheng glanced at her, his gaze indifferent.

“If it weren’t for my employer, I would have even abandoned him.”

On the battlefield, Xie He's eyes were bloodshot. Suddenly, he bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Blood Explosion Technique!"

Gu Sheng frowned.

"A secret method to burn one's lifespan? Foolish."

Just as Xie He's blood was surging and he was preparing to fight to the death, a barely perceptible mental fluctuation flashed between Gu Sheng's brows.

The spirit cat demon beast that was about to pounce on Xie He suddenly froze in place, blood spurting from its eyes and ears at the same time.

"Sky-Piercing Sword Technique!"

A flash of silver light, and before the spirit cat demon beast even had time to scream, it was cleaved in two in mid-air, its internal organs and blood splattering all over the ground.

Xie He stood there dumbfounded, the backlash from the Blood Explosion Technique causing blood to trickle from the corner of his mouth.

He stared blankly at Gu Sheng's elegant action of sheathing his sword, then looked down at the monster's corpse that was now broken in two on the ground.

"you"

Xie's voice was hoarse.

Gu Sheng didn't even glance at him, and turned to Xie Qingxuan to speak.

"Pack up, it's getting dark."

Xie Qingxuan rushed to Xie He's side and took out some medicine powder from her bosom to stop his bleeding. Xie He, however, pushed her away and staggered to Gu Sheng.

"Why save me?"

Xie asked through gritted teeth, feeling more humiliated than being injured by someone he had always hated.

Gu Sheng then looked at him properly, his eyes indifferent.

"I'm sparing your life because you're still useful."

Xie's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, but in the end he could only squeeze out two words through gritted teeth.

".Thanks."

Xie Qingxuan whispered to Gu Sheng.

"Brother Qin, thank you. I know you actually..."

"Do not misunderstand."

Gu Sheng interrupted her.

"I just don't want to spend the night with a seriously injured burden."

He pointed to Xie He's wounds.

"With his cultivation level, this injury won't kill him. But the smell of blood will attract more demonic beasts."

Xie He sneered.

"What, now you think I'm holding you back?"

Gu Sheng suddenly revealed a smile that sent chills down Xie He's spine.

"On the contrary. I have a plan that requires your cooperation."

"what's the plan?"

Xie Qingxuan asked curiously.

"Let him go out and run a few laps, and lure all the monsters in the vicinity over."

Gu Sheng pointed to the depths of the dense forest.

"I hunt from behind. Using the scent of blood to scare away other monsters is more effective than passive defense."

Xie He's eyes widened.

"You want me to be the bait?"

"You can also choose to refuse."

Gu Sheng shrugged indifferently.

"However, monsters are active at night. If we don't clear out a safe area before setting up camp, I'm afraid no one will be able to sleep soundly."

Xie Qingxuan looked at Xie He with concern.

But his injury...

"Running can accelerate blood circulation and help wounds clot."

Gu Sheng spoke in a calm tone, as if he were discussing the weather.

"Of course, if you're scared—"

"I go!"

Xie He abruptly interrupted him, his eyes blazing with anger.

"They're just a few beasts!"

Gu Sheng nodded in satisfaction and said to Xie Qingxuan.

"You stay here and set up a makeshift camp. Remember, do not light a fire."

Xie Qingxuan wanted to say something more, but seeing Gu Sheng's unquestionable gaze, she could only nod.

"Be careful."

Xie He snorted coldly, grabbed his long sword, and walked into the depths of the dense forest.

Gu Sheng followed behind at a leisurely pace, always maintaining a distance of five steps.

"Run, and the bait should look like bait."

Gu Sheng's voice came from behind.

Xie He's forehead veins throbbed, but he still quickened his pace, limping along. Blood seeped from the wound on his back, dripping onto the withered leaves with a soft "drip-drip" sound.

Xie He clutched the wound on his left shoulder and ran wildly through the dense forest, blood dripping continuously from between his fingers, leaving a trail of dark red marks on the withered leaves.

He was panting heavily, his throat tasting of rust, but he dared not stop.

"Damn Gu Sheng!"

Xie He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been in such a sorry state in front of Qingxuan!"

The night wind carried the stench of blood, spreading in all directions. Xie He suddenly shuddered as a chilling aura enveloped his back.

He turned around abruptly, his pupils shrinking sharply—two crimson dots were rapidly approaching in the darkness.

"The Blood Moon Wolf King?"

Xie He's heart pounded wildly; the shadow cast by the peak Earth Martial Realm demon beast he encountered during the day had not yet dissipated.

He instinctively reached for his waist, only to find that his sword had already been broken in the previous battle.

What alarmed him even more was that Gu Sheng's figure had disappeared without him noticing.

"Could it be."

Xie's Adam's apple bobbed as a thought flashed through his mind.

"He ran away with Qingxuan?"

Thinking of this, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"Very well. If I die here, at least Qingxuan can..."

"Ouch——!"

A deafening wolf howl interrupted his thoughts, the sound waves causing the leaves around him to fall in a rustling sound.

Xie He's legs went weak, but he forced himself into a fighting stance.

However, the expected attack did not occur. The terrifying aura suddenly changed direction and sped off towards the other side of the dense forest.

Xie He stood there, stunned, his back soaked with cold sweat.

"what happened?"

He hesitated for a moment, then, as if possessed, reached out towards the direction where the energy had disappeared.

Three hundred feet away, Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering in the night wind.

Ten feet in front of him, a giant wolf the size of a small mountain was baring its teeth and growling.

Under the moonlight, the wolf king's silvery-white fur gleamed with a bloody light, and the crescent-shaped markings on his forehead were a deep, glistening crimson.

"He's broken through to the Heavenly Martial Realm?"

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow, looking at the still-unreserved, ferocious aura emanating from the Wolf King.

"Looks like Meng Xiao's men gave you a good meal."

The Blood Moon Wolf King scratched the ground with its front paws, leaving several deep marks on the rocks.

It remembered this human—the aura that had made it wary during the day originated from this person.

But now it's different. The power after the breakthrough is boiling in my blood vessels. It wants to swallow this human whole, bones and flesh!

"Roar--!"

The wolf king kicked off with its hind legs, cracking the ground, and its massive body lunged straight for Gu Sheng's throat with its gaping maw!
"act recklessly."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and three inner heavens opened simultaneously within his body, golden spiritual flames erupting from every pore of his skin.

The Three Mysterious Transformations of Nirvana!

"Qiang——!"

A golden sword aura materialized out of thin air, growing to three zhang in length as it faced the wind, and collided violently with the blood-red beam of light spewed out by the wolf king!
"Pfft!"

The crimson beam of light was split in two, but the sword energy remained undiminished, tearing a wound several feet long in the wolf king's hind leg, revealing the stark white bones.

"woo"

The wolf king winced in pain, and fear appeared for the first time in its scarlet beast eyes.

It instinctively leaped backward, only to see Gu Sheng draw a sword with his fingers and slash through the air.

"Sky-Piercing Sword Technique".

"Boom——!"

An invisible sword aura swept across the ground, sending soil and rocks flying as it passed, carving a huge trench ten feet long in the dense forest.

The wolf king narrowly avoided the attack, but was thrown over by the aftershocks, his silvery-white fur covered in mud, leaving him in a sorry state.

Xie He, hiding behind the tree, covered his mouth tightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Three cave heavens? Gu Sheng is actually at the third level of the Earth Martial Realm?!" What shocked him even more was that the wolf king, which had clearly broken through to the Heaven Martial Realm, was like a stray dog ​​in front of Gu Sheng!
In the center of the battlefield, Gu Sheng watched the wolf king flee in panic, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"Warm-up is over."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Six muffled thuds followed, and six more grotto-heavens opened within his body, connecting the nine grotto-heavens into one, with boundless true energy surging forth.

Gu Sheng clasped his hands together, and a three-zhang-long sword of energy, condensed from golden divine flames, slowly took shape.

"The Northern Star Immortal-Slaying Sword".

The wolf king's fur stood on end, its animal instincts screaming a warning.

It turned and fled without hesitation, moving so fast that it left afterimages.

"cut."

With a single, light word, the Divine Flame Sword instantly split into ten, piercing through the Wolf King's body.

"Puff puff--!"

Ten charred, bloody holes, each the size of a bowl, appeared on the wolf king's body, making it transparent from front to back.

It howled and charged forward for another ten zhang before collapsing to the ground with a crash, raising clouds of dust.

Gu Sheng exhaled a breath of stale air, and the nine great grottoes slowly closed.

This attack consumed nearly 70% of his true energy, but its effect was remarkable.

He walked up to the wolf king's corpse and plunged his finger into its forehead, extinguishing all life.

"Come out."

Gu Sheng said without turning his head.

Xie He froze, then realized he had been discovered.

He forced himself to leave his hiding place, his legs still trembling uncontrollably.

"you you."

Xie He stared at the wolf king's corpse at Gu Sheng's feet, his throat going dry.

This Heavenly Martial Realm demon beast that made him flee at the mere sight of him couldn't even last three moves against Gu Sheng!
Gu Sheng flicked the blood droplets from his fingertips and said calmly.

"Drag the wolf king's corpse back; the aura of a Heavenly Martial Realm demon beast can dispel low-level demon beasts within a hundred miles."

"Yes Yes!"

Xie He immediately responded, his attitude more respectful than ever before.

He secretly sized up Gu Sheng and found that the other man's breathing was as steady as ever, as if the battle just now was just casually swatting a mosquito.

"Senior Brother Gu."

Xie He carefully considered his choice of words.

"I will not reveal a single word about what happened tonight!"

Gu Sheng glanced at him with a half-smile.

Do you think I care?

Xie He's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He suddenly realized that this fellow disciple, who usually kept a low profile, was probably already at the Heavenly Martial Realm in terms of cultivation!

Thinking of all the provocations he had made against Gu Sheng, Xie He's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"rustle."

Gu Sheng suddenly turned his head to look in the southeast direction, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Senior Brother Gu?"

Xie He looked in the direction of his gaze with a puzzled expression, but all he saw was darkness.

"Someone's asking for it."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and his right hand unconsciously pressed against the hilt of his sword.

Xie He looked around blankly.

"Who? Where?"

His second-level Earth Martial Realm perception couldn't detect anything unusual.

Meanwhile, Xie Qingxuan waited alone in the same spot.

"rustle--"

Xie Qingxuan's ears twitched slightly, and she instantly gripped the long sword in her hand.

She leaned against an ancient tree, her gaze sweeping over the surrounding bushes.

Ever since Gu Sheng and Xie He left to clean up the monsters, she had been on edge, feeling that something was wrong.

"Who is there?"

She spoke in a cold voice, her tone carrying an unassailable authority.

The commotion in the bushes abruptly ceased, but then a chilling laugh echoed from all directions.

"Miss Xie's perception is indeed keen."

Meng Xiao emerged from behind the tree, a nauseating smile on his face, his gaze roaming brazenly over Xie Qingxuan.

"Such a beautiful woman, left alone in this desolate wilderness, how dangerous is that?"

Xie Qingxuan's pupils contracted, and the knuckles of her fingers gripping the sword turned white from the force.

"Meng Xiao! What do you want to do?"

Meng Xiao strolled forward slowly, followed by five martial artists dressed in Meng family attire, each exuding an aura of at least the Earth Martial Realm.

They tacitly dispersed, blocking all possible escape routes for Xie Qingxuan.

"What?"

Meng Xiao spread his hands out exaggeratedly.

"Of course, I'm here to discuss a deal with Miss Xie."

He licked his lips.

"If you submit to me, I can not only help your grandfather solve the Liu family's troubles, but also let you enjoy wealth and luxury in the Meng family. Why suffer with that unknown Gu Sheng?"

"Shameless!"

Xie Qingxuan shouted angrily, pointing her long sword directly at Meng Xiao.

"Brother Gu won't let you get away with this when he gets back!"

"Hahaha!"

Meng Xiao laughed loudly, his laughter full of sarcasm.

"Gu Sheng? Him? I brought five Earth Martial Realm experts with me. If he dares to come, I'll make sure he dies a gruesome death!"

Xie Qingxuan kept backing away until her back hit a thick tree trunk.

Her eyes were filled with panic.

"Meng Xiao, if you dare to lay a finger on me, my grandfather will never let the Meng family off the hook!"

“Tsk tsk tsk.

Meng Xiao shook his finger and approached step by step.

"Old Master Xie is in dire straits himself; how could he possibly have time to care about you?"

His face suddenly darkened.

"Don't push your luck. You have to agree today, or else—"

He grinned.

"I'll force myself on you!"

As he finished speaking, the five Earth Martial Realm warriors simultaneously released their powerful aura.

Xie Qingxuan felt an invisible force pressing her firmly against the tree trunk, making it difficult for her to even move her fingers.

Her eyes were filled with despair, and she bit her lower lip tightly, ready to commit suicide.

"It seems Miss Xie is going to have to suffer the consequences instead of accepting the offer."

Meng Xiao reached out to grab Xie Qingxuan's collar.

Just at this critical moment, a calm voice suddenly rang out in the forest.

“She has a third option—to wipe you all out, to kill everyone here.”

The sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to explode in everyone's ears.

A spark of hope ignited in Xie Qingxuan's eyes.

"Brother Qin!"

Meng Xiao's expression changed drastically, and he turned around abruptly to look around.

"Who's there? Playing tricks! Show yourself!"

"Meng Xiao! What does your Meng family even mean to you!"

Gu Sheng's voice was icy cold, booming through the dense forest.

He moved swiftly through the forest, his golden sword energy flickering in his hand, each flash accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.

"Ah! My arm!"

Meng Xiao staggered backward, clutching his severed arm, blood gushing from between his fingers.

His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"How dare you!"

"If you dare to get even half a step closer to Xie Qingxuan again, your head will be severed next time."

Gu Sheng said coldly, and the golden light in his hand flashed again.

"Kill him for me!"

Meng Xiao roared hysterically, his voice distorted.

Five figures suddenly sprang up from the dense forest, unleashing their Earth Martial Realm auras.

The five men surrounded Gu Sheng and pounced on him. As their true energy surged, the surrounding trees exploded.

"court death!"

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and a semi-transparent golden ripple suddenly appeared between his brows. (End of Chapter)
