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

He fell to his knees with a thud, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Please forgive me, senior."

He managed to squeeze out a few words, feeling as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.

Gu Sheng withdrew his oppressive aura and said calmly.

"Open the secret realm."

The martial artist trembled as he got up, not daring to look Gu Sheng in the eye.

"Reporting to Senior, the Ancestor... he just left."

"I said, open the secret realm."

Gu Sheng repeated, his tone eerily calm.

The martial artist swallowed hard, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a faint dark green light flowing around Gu Sheng's sleeve. He immediately recalled the rumors circulating in the city and was terrified.

He had no doubt that if he dared to utter another word of dissent, he would immediately turn into a dried-up corpse.

"Yes, yes! This junior will begin immediately!"

He frantically pulled out a jade tablet and tremblingly pressed it onto the stone tablet at the entrance of the secret realm.

The stone tablet glowed with a hazy white light, and a vortex-shaped portal of light slowly took shape.

Gu Sheng took out a bone fragment engraved with strange runes, which he had prepared beforehand, and casually tossed it to the martial artist.

"This"

The martial artist took the bone fragment, his pupils suddenly contracting.

This is clearly a token possessed only by core disciples of the Five Poisons Sect! Recalling the rumors of the branch being slaughtered earlier, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down again.

Gu Sheng ignored him and walked straight toward the portal.

Just before stepping inside, he suddenly turned around.

"What happens today."

The martial artist shuddered.

"This junior saw nothing! If the ancestor asks, just say... just say that a masked senior forced his way in!"

Gu Sheng smiled slightly and disappeared into the white light.

The portal slowly closed, and the martial artist collapsed to the ground, his back soaked in cold sweat.

He touched the communication artifact in his pocket, hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dare to use it.

"Let's talk about it when the patriarch returns."

he consoled himself.

"Anyway, there's a record every time the secret realm opens, so it can't escape."

The moment Gu Sheng stepped into the secret realm, his spiritual power spread out like a tide, and he had complete control over everything within a range of 1,300 feet.

More than thirty martial arts auras, like fireflies in the dark, were clearly discernible in his mind.

About ten of them carried distinctly sinister and poisonous characteristics, like polluted spring water, emanating a nauseating aura.

"The Five Poisons Cult"

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes flashing with a chilling light.

He moved with a swift movement, disappearing from his spot like a ghost, and sped towards the nearest aura of poisonous energy.

The ancient trees in the secret realm rushed past him, yet he made not a sound under his feet.

Deep in the valley, a martial artist from the Five Poisons Sect dressed in a black robe sat cross-legged on a blue stone, his hands forming a hand seal, with a spiritual herb emitting a faint blue light floating in front of him.

The spiritual herb was enveloped in a dark green poisonous mist and was being slowly refined.

Suddenly, the black-robed warrior opened his eyes and looked around warily.

"Who?"

His answer was a black vine that shot through the air!
"Heavenly Demon Vine!"

Gu Sheng gave a cold shout, and more than ten vine branches, like living things, came from different angles to strangle the black-robed warrior, blocking all his escape routes.

"court death!"

The black-robed warrior roared, drawing his long sword from its sheath, the blade flashing like lightning as it slashed at the nearest vine.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the long sword not only failed to cut the vines, but was also knocked out of the hand by the shock, leaving a clear nick on the blade.

"How can it be?!"

The black-robed warrior's pupils shrank, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

In the instant he was shocked, more than ten vines had already wrapped around his limbs and torso.

The pain of the barbs piercing his flesh caused him to let out a shrill scream, and his black robe was instantly soaked in blood.

"Ah, who exactly are you?"

Gu Sheng slowly stepped out of the shadows, his body shrouded in a thick aura of blood, and a faint, blood-red, arrow-shaped phantom could be seen emerging behind him.

"Blood Soul Arrow?!"

The black-robed warrior's eyes widened, his voice trembling with fear.

"You killed the Blood Centipede Protector?!"

Gu Sheng did not answer, but simply watched indifferently as the vines tightened.

The black-robed warrior's screams abruptly ceased, and his body visibly withered away, eventually turning into a dried-up corpse.

"First."

Gu Sheng withdrew the Heavenly Demon Vine, and the dried corpse collapsed to the ground, turning into dust.

He closed his eyes to sense his surroundings, his mental energy spreading out once more to lock onto the next target.

In another part of the secret realm, three disciples of the Five Poisons Sect were walking together, cautiously observing their surroundings.

"I heard that the Blood Centipede Protector has entered the secret realm. We must find him as soon as possible."

The tall, thin man at the head of the group said in a low voice.

"Senior brother, what do you think is the purpose of the sect leader sending us here this time?"

another asked.

The tall, thin man was about to answer when his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"careful!"

However, the warning came too late.

The ground suddenly cracked open, and dozens of black vines shot out like venomous snakes, instantly entangling the three of them.

"who?!"

The tall, thin man roared, his body enveloped in swirling poisonous mist, attempting to corrode the vines.

However, the moment the poisonous mist came into contact with the vines, it was completely absorbed by them.

What terrified him even more was that familiar blood-red patterns appeared on the vines.

"This is... the blood venom of the Blood Centipede Protector?!"

The tall, thin man's voice trembled.

"impossible"

A figure emerged from behind the tree, a cold glint flashing in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"Do you Five Poisons Sect members always talk so much nonsense?"

"You killed the Blood Centipede Protector?!"

The tall, thin man was utterly horrified.

"Do you know the consequences of offending my Five Poisons Sect?!"

Gu Sheng sneered.

"The outcome? Like this."

The vines suddenly tightened, and the screams of the three people were particularly piercing in the silent secret realm.

In just a few breaths, only three empty robes and some ashes remained on the ground.

Gu Sheng put away the Heavenly Demon Vine, his brows furrowing slightly.

"This Five Poisons Sect has twenty or thirty Earth Martial Realm warriors in just one branch; their strength is comparable to a second-tier sect in Great Wilderness City."

He suddenly remembered something, took out a jade slip from his bosom, and probed it with his spiritual power.

The jade slip contained information about the Five Poisons Cult, and one piece of information caught his attention.

"The Five Poisons Cult has expanded rapidly in recent years, and it is suspected that it has received support from a reclusive sect."

With a serious expression, Gu Sheng put away the jade slip and continued his hunt.

Over the next half hour, brief sounds of fighting and screams echoed continuously within the secret realm.

Gu Sheng reaped the lives of the Five Poisons Cult warriors like a grim reaper, leaving only dried corpses in his wake.

When the last disciple of the Five Poisons Sect fell, Gu Sheng stood in an open space, unleashing his spiritual power once more to confirm that all targets had been eliminated.

"Thirteen, three more than expected."

Gu Sheng muttered to himself.

"It seems the Five Poisons Sect attaches great importance to this secret realm."

Suddenly, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart.

"Who are you, and why are you attacking the martial artists of the Five Poisons Sect?"

A deep, hoarse voice came from behind him, and Gu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly. He hadn't even sensed the other person getting closer!
Turning around slowly, Gu Sheng saw a middle-aged man with a gloomy face.

The man was dressed in snake-scale armor, his eyes were as cold as a venomous snake, and his aura was obscure and difficult to discern. He was at least at the peak of the Earth Martial Realm, and perhaps even had one foot in the Heaven Martial Realm.

"Yin Jiuyou, the Grand Elder of the Tianyou Sect." The middle-aged man introduced himself, his voice as sharp as sandpaper.

"Young man, state your name."

Gu Sheng's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly on guard.

If the other party can approach silently, it means either their cultivation level far surpasses one's own, or they possess a treasure that conceals their aura.

"My affairs are none of your business."

Gu Sheng responded coldly.

A cold glint flashed in Yin Jiuyou's eyes, and he immediately noticed the bloody aura surrounding Gu Sheng, especially the faint, blood-red arrow shadow.

"You killed the Blood Centipede with the Blood Soul Arrow?"

Yin Jiuyou's tone was tinged with surprise.

“Interesting. Although that old poisonous creature Blood Centipede is disgusting, he is not weak. He actually died at the hands of a junior like you.”

Gu Sheng remained noncommittal, secretly circulating his inner energy, ready to strike at any moment.

Yin Jiuyou suddenly laughed, his laughter like that of a night owl.

"Don't be nervous. I have no connection with the Five Poisons Sect; in fact, we have some grudges. I'd be happy to see you kill their people."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to make way for him.

"Please."

Gu Sheng's eyes flickered slightly as he slowly walked forward.

The instant he brushed past Yin Jiuyou, a murderous glint flashed in both of their eyes!
"Shh!"

Gu Sheng's body erupted with qi, condensing into three sharp qi swords that aimed directly at Yin Jiuyou's throat, heart, and dantian!

Almost at the same moment, a dark green light burst forth from Yin Jiuyou's fingertip, striking Gu Sheng's back like a venomous snake!

"whoosh"

Two figures passed each other in the desolate valley, their clothes fluttering and creating a slight rustling sound in the wind.

On the surface, it was just an ordinary brush past each other, but in that instant when they passed each other...
"Heavenly Netherworld Demon-Sealing Slash!"

The middle-aged man suddenly roared, and the Heavenly Rank longsword in his hand, which was glowing with a ghostly blue light, suddenly burst out with a dazzling blade light.

The blade flashed like a waterfall, dazzling and striking, aiming straight for Gu Shenghou's vital point.

This slash was as fast as lightning; wherever the blade passed, the air was cut with a sharp whistling sound.

"Die!"

The middle-aged man had a smug look in his eyes.

However, the moment the blade struck Gu Sheng's body, it passed through without any hindrance, as if it had only struck a phantom.

"Afterimage?!"

The middle-aged man's pupils contracted sharply, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

In the instant he was horrified, an extremely sharp sword aura attacked from behind.

Even more terrifying, a powerful mental force surged into his mind like a tidal wave, as if countless steel needles were churning inside his brain.

"what!"

The middle-aged man cried out in pain, his movements instantly freezing.

"Pfft."

The sound of sword energy piercing flesh was clearly audible.

Gu Sheng's sword flashed like a venomous snake's tongue, tearing a deep, bone-revealing wound in the middle-aged man's back, causing blood to spurt out.

"boom!"

The middle-aged man flew dozens of feet like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the mountain wall and embedding himself in the rock, sending fragments of stone flying everywhere.

His body hung limply on the rock face, motionless and lifeless.

Gu Sheng stood there, his brows slightly furrowed.

He didn't rush forward to check, but instead closed his eyes and sensed for a moment.

"Playing dead?"

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile.

"You dare to pull this kind of trick in front of me?"

He swiftly formed hand seals, simultaneously opening the nine great grotto-heavens within his body, unleashing a torrent of powerful true energy like a volcanic eruption.

Nine golden flames condensed in his palm, transforming in the blink of an eye into nine divine flame swords, their blades wreathed in heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

"go with!"

With a soft shout, Gu Sheng unleashed nine sword beams of energy that shot out into the air, hurtling towards the deep pit in the mountainside with a sharp whistling sound.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the air was scorched and distorted.

"Damn it!"

The middle-aged man who was supposed to be dead suddenly sprang up, his figure shooting out of the pit like lightning, narrowly avoiding the first wave of sword energy.

His face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with shock and anger.

"You little beast, your senses are quite sharp!"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said.

Gu Sheng remained expressionless.

"With such meager skills, you dare call yourself a Heavenly Martial Realm expert?"

"Insanity!"

The middle-aged man roared and retreated rapidly while pulling out a stack of defensive talismans from his pocket and activating them quickly.

"Boom boom boom!"

Nine divine flame swords followed closely, bombarding the defensive light barrier one after another.

Each collision produced a deafening roar, and shockwaves swept across the surrounding area, cracking the ground and shattering rocks.

The middle-aged man's face grew increasingly grim.

His prized defensive talismans were like paper before the Divine Flame Qi Sword, blasted apart one after another.

The violent aftershocks of his true energy forced him to retreat repeatedly, leaving him in a sorry state.

"How is this possible? This kid is clearly only at the peak of the Earth Martial Realm!"

The middle-aged man was horrified.

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as cold as knives.

"You think you can ambush me with such meager skills? Who gave you the guts?"

"You little beast, stop your arrogance!"

The middle-aged man roared.

"Today I will take your life!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Blood transformed into eerie runes in the air and merged into his body.

"Blood Explosion Technique!"

With a roar, the middle-aged man's body erupted with astonishing blood-red light, his aura rising steadily, instantly breaking through the threshold of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

His snake-scale armor couldn't withstand the force and crumbled inch by inch, revealing his body covered in bulging veins.

"Hahaha! Can you feel the power of the Heavenly Martial Realm?"

The middle-aged man had disheveled hair and looked like a madman.

"Today I'll show you that the gap in cultivation level can't be bridged by petty tricks!"

Gu Sheng remained calm, though his eyes held a hint of mockery.

"A secret technique for forcibly raising one's cultivation level? Nothing special."

"court death!"

Enraged, the middle-aged man gripped the knife with both hands, channeling all his strength into it.

The longsword emitted a blinding blood-red light, and a blood-red blade beam over a hundred feet long shot out, slashing down at Gu Sheng with an aura of annihilation!
"Heavenly Netherworld Annihilation Slash!"

Wherever the blade's edge passed, space seemed to be torn apart, emitting a piercing shriek.

Faced with this devastating blow, Gu Sheng remained calm and simply raised his right hand.

"Heavenly Demon Vine".

"whoosh whoosh"

A beam of black light flew out from his sleeve, and upon landing, it expanded rapidly, transforming into dozens of black vines as thick as bowls.

The vines, covered with sharp barbs, twisted and intertwined to form a thick wall of vines, blocking Gu Sheng's way.

"boom!"

The crimson blade struck the vine wall with tremendous force, unleashing a deafening roar.

However, to the middle-aged man's horror, his confident strike, capable of splitting mountains and cleaving peaks, only left a shallow cut on the vines!

"This is impossible!"

The middle-aged man stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

Gu Sheng sneered.

"Is your performance over?"

Before the words were even finished, dozens of Heavenly Demon Vines suddenly unfurled, constricting towards the middle-aged man from different angles as if they were alive! (End of Chapter)
