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

"We'll split up, bypass the checkpoints, and then regroup."

Nangong Yingying's purple eyes were filled with doubt, but seeing Gu Sheng's confident expression, she didn't ask any further questions.

"Be careful."

The two immediately separated. Gu Sheng's figure disappeared into the night like a ghost, while Nangong Yingying turned into a purple light and vanished from the spot.

However, just as Gu Sheng landed and prepared to stealthily move, an invisible spiritual force suddenly locked onto him.

"Humph!"

Gu Sheng snorted coldly, and golden ripples spread in his sea of ​​consciousness, shaking off that spiritual power.

"what?"

A surprised voice rang out.

The next moment, a middle-aged man in a purple robe appeared in front of Gu Sheng.

The man had a dignified face, piercing eyes, and exuded a powerful aura.

"Fourth level of the Sect Realm"

Gu Sheng felt a chill run down his spine, but remained outwardly calm.

At the same time, Nangong Yingying was also forced to show herself and come to Gu Sheng's side.

She said in a voice message.

"Be careful! This person is the Sixth Elder of the Zixia Divine Cult. He used to be my sworn sister's confidant. I never expected him to be a pawn of the Zixia Ancestor!"

The Sixth Elder's gaze swept over the two of them, and he sneered.

"Two juniors dare to trespass into the Purple Cloud Forbidden Land? Open your sea of ​​consciousness and let me explore, or you will die!"

As the last word was uttered, a terrifying pressure descended like a mountain, instantly turning the surrounding trees into dust.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes.

The sea of ​​consciousness is the most secret place of a martial artist; once it is opened, life and death are no longer in their own hands.

"Senior, what does this mean?"

Nangong Yingying stepped forward, her purple eyes filled with anger.

"We are just..."

"Shut up!"

The Sixth Elder shouted sternly.

"Either release your consciousness, or die!"

Before the words were even finished, two streams of spiritual energy had already forcefully invaded the two people's consciousness.

Nangong Yingying's expression changed, and she was about to resist when she saw Gu Sheng's lips curl into a cold smile.

"court death!"

Gu Sheng let out a low shout, and a golden light suddenly shone from between his brows.

"boom!"

The moment the Sixth Elder's spiritual power entered Gu Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness, it was as if it had hit an impenetrable wall.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying golden wave swept over, instantly pulverizing his mental energy.

"what!"

The Sixth Elder groaned, his face suddenly turning pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

The Sixth Elder's face was gloomy, and his cloudy eyes were fixed on the young man in front of him.

His thin fingers trembled slightly, and the lingering stinging sensation in his mind stirred up a storm in his heart.

"A mere Earth Martial Realm cultivator could actually shatter my spiritual power?"

The Sixth Elder's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper being rubbed.

"Kid, what secrets do you have?"

Gu Sheng's lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Old man, you've lived to such an old age, and you don't even know the most basic manners? Who gave you permission to probe other people's sea of ​​consciousness?"

"presumptuous!"

The Sixth Elder roared, and his purple robes fluttered even without wind.

"In the Zixia Mountains, I am the rule!"

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from Gu Sheng's body, and the phantom of the Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron appeared behind him. As the nine dragon patterns moved, the power of origin flowed into his body.

The Sixth Elder's pupils shrank suddenly, and his intuition as a sect-level expert made him retreat ten feet in an instant.

"Purple Cloud Heaven-Sealing Talisman!"

The Sixth Elder formed a hand seal, and a purple talisman materialized out of thin air, its runes radiating a suffocating pressure.

The talisman transformed into a stream of light and shot towards Gu Sheng, scorching the air wherever it passed.

"Gu Sheng, watch out!"

Nangong Yingying, who was watching from a distance, gasped in surprise.

A sharp light flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and with a clenched fist in his right hand, a long sword made entirely of true qi suddenly took shape.

Faced with the deadly talisman hurtling towards him, he advanced instead of retreating, and unleashed a sword strike!
"boom"

Amidst the deafening explosion, the ground within a radius of hundreds of feet centered on Gu Sheng collapsed with a deafening roar.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and the shockwave uprooted the ancient trees around them, sending rubble flying like raindrops.

Nangong Yingying had to raise her true energy shield to barely block the aftershocks.

Her face was pale, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.

"This is the full-force attack of a Grandmaster-level expert!"

As the smoke and dust dissipated, a huge crater appeared on the spot.

At the bottom of the pit, Gu Sheng knelt on one knee, his body covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and blood kept seeping out.

Strangely, however, those wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, with new flesh wriggling and filling the cracks.

"How can it be?!"

The Sixth Elder stood in mid-air, his face contorted with shock.

"The Purple Cloud Sealing Heaven Talisman can severely injure even a Sect Realm expert, let alone you, a mere Earth Martial Realm cultivator."

Gu Sheng slowly straightened up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered.

"Old dog, is that all you've got?"

The Sixth Elder suddenly thought of something, and his cloudy eyes widened abruptly.

"This recovery speed is the Southern Emperor's Longevity Path! You are someone of the Southern Frontier Empress?!"

Gu Sheng did not answer. The Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron behind him lit up again, and a divine light blessed him.

The Sixth Elder's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly crushed a jade talisman at his waist.

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, come quickly and help me!"

No sooner had the Sixth Elder finished transmitting his voice than Gu Sheng appeared before him like a ghost.

"late."

A flash of cold light, and the Sixth Elder felt a chill on his neck.

He stared wide-eyed as he saw his body still standing in the same spot, while his head had already flown into the air.

"Your Southern Xinjiang"

The Sixth Elder's lips moved, staring at Gu Sheng with resentment, before finally losing consciousness completely.

Gu Sheng reached out and caught the falling head, quickly storing it along with the headless corpse into his storage ring.

He turned to look in Nangong Yingying's direction and found her standing there, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Gu Sheng gave a low shout.

Nangong Yingying seemed to awaken from a dream and hurriedly flew over.

Her lips trembled.

"You...you killed the elder of Zixia Cave Heaven?"

"Or should we wait for him to call in more help?"

Gu Sheng leaped onto her flying sword.

"Hurry, he just sent a message."

Nangong Yingying unleashed her full inner energy, and her flying sword transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky.

She couldn't help but turn around and glance at Gu Sheng.

"You just used the Southern Emperor's Longevity Path? You and the Southern Frontier Empress?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Gu Sheng interrupted her, his expression suddenly changing.

"Oh no, it's coming!"

In the distance, two purple streaks of light approached at an astonishing speed, their terrifying pressure palpable even from miles away.

Nangong Yingying's pretty face turned deathly pale.

"They are the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder, both experts at the fifth level of the Sect Realm!"

"Can we shake them off?"

Gu Sheng asked in a deep voice.

Nangong Yingying gritted her teeth and shook her head.

"My sword-riding speed is not as fast as theirs."

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes and suddenly pointed to the northwest.

"Fly that way!"

"That's deep within the Purple Cloud Mountains, even more dangerous!"

"listen to me!"

Gu Sheng's tone left no room for argument.

Nangong Yingying hesitated for a moment, but ultimately changed direction. Two purple streaks of light drew closer behind her, and an aged voice boomed like thunder.

"You killed my elders of Zixia Cave Heaven, and you think you can escape? Today, I will surely tear your souls apart and refine your spirits!"

The terrifying sound wave caused Nangong Yingying's blood and qi to surge, and even her flying sword shook.

Gu Sheng held her shoulders and said in a low voice.

"Don't look back, fly at full speed!"

Just then, a dazzling purple light suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the valley, and a thick pillar of light shot into the sky, causing the spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles to boil instantly.

"That means... the Purple Cloud Cave Heaven has opened?"

Nangong Yingying exclaimed in surprise.

The moment the Purple Cloud Cave Heaven opened, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged like a tide, forming visible ripples that spread outwards.

Gu Sheng and Nangong Yingying were originally being chased and were in a sorry state by the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder, but at this moment they saw the two powerful experts in the Sect Realm suddenly stop and look at the sky with solemn expressions.

"The Purple Cloud Cave Heaven has opened!"

The Fourth Elder's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Let's go back immediately!"

The Fifth Elder glared at Gu Sheng and his companion with resentment, but turned away without hesitation.

"Consider yourselves lucky!"

Two purple figures vanished in an instant, leaving only startled birds flying in the forest.

Nangong Yingying's chest heaved violently, and her fair cheeks flushed red from the intense exercise.

She turned to look at Gu Sheng, her eyes full of confusion.

"They... just left like that?"

Gu Sheng squinted, looking at the purple vortex that was gradually forming in the distant sky.

"The opening of Zixia Cave Heaven is a major event. They naturally value the sect's mission more than chasing down two insignificant characters like us."

"Then us"

Before Nangong Yingying could finish speaking, Gu Sheng had already stepped forward.

"Follow me."

His voice was deep yet firm.

"Now that they have no time to deal with us, it is a good opportunity to infiltrate Zixia Cave."

Nangong Yingying bit her lower lip and quickly followed.

"Are you sure? It's definitely heavily guarded there."

Gu Sheng's lips curled up slightly.

"The more dangerous the place, the greater the opportunity."

The two stealthily followed the traces left by the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder.

As the distance decreased, the spiritual energy in the air became increasingly concentrated, even causing a slight tingling sensation on the skin.

When they crossed the last mountain ridge, the sight before them made Nangong Yingying gasp in shock.
In the valley, thousands of martial artists stood in neat formation, their purple robes fluttering in the spiritual wind.

At the forefront were nearly a hundred powerful experts at the Sect Realm, followed by hundreds of late-stage Heavenly Martial Realm warriors.

On their opposite side was a combined force from other cults, equally powerful.

"The Seventy-Two Gods Cult has really gone all out this time."

Gu Sheng said in a low voice, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"At least a hundred sect-level experts, forcing our way in is suicide."

Nangong Yingying nervously grabbed Gu Sheng's sleeve.

"Then how do we get in?"

Gu Sheng did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes and his mental energy spread out like a tide.

After a moment, he opened his eyes.

"There's no King-level aura, but there are too many Sect-level beings. Who can your human skin mask imitate?"

"I can imitate anyone whose face I have seen and memorized."

As Nangong Yingying spoke, the muscles on her face twitched, and she instantly transformed into the appearance of a strange woman.

"But you need to observe the target up close to completely mimic the breath."

Gu Sheng nodded, his gaze fixed on the retreating ranks on the outer perimeter.

"Your chance has come, come with me!"

He grabbed Nangong Yingying's hand, and the two of them darted away like ghosts.

In the chaotic moment of team handover, they quietly blended into the back of an inconspicuous squad.

The whole process was incredibly fast; the surrounding martial artists didn't even notice that two more people had appeared.

"Don't speak, communicate with your mind."

Gu Sheng's voice rang directly in Nangong Yingying's mind.

"See those two Sect Realm guards at the entrance? I need you to distract one of them."

Nangong Yingying's body stiffened.

"Are you crazy? If we fail, we'll be surrounded by hundreds of people!"

"We should at least give it a try."

A dangerous glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"If we kill the guards, we'll have a chance to break in."

Nangong Yingying remained silent for a moment, her expression changing several times, before finally gritting her teeth and saying.

“Okay, I’ll give it my all. But I can only hold him off for thirty breaths at most. You have to take care of the other one as soon as possible.”

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a confident smile.

"Don't worry, after merging with the Longevity Path, my physical strength is enough to support four or five bursts of primal power."

"Enemy attack!"

A sharp scream shattered the tranquility of the entrance to Zixia Cave.

Gu Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile; this was the moment he had been waiting for.

The Fifth Elder's communication artifact had just finished flashing when the golden spiritual spike slammed into his face.

A soft "hiss" sound came from the air, the sound of mental energy tearing through the air.

"Little tricks!"

The Fifth Elder roared angrily, and the mental barrier he hastily set up barely blocked the golden spike, but he was still forced to take three steps back.

Nangong Yingying's spear light followed closely, the silvery-white light streaking across like a meteor, aiming straight for the Fifth Elder's throat.

"Humph!"

The Fifth Elder suddenly unleashed his right fist, the force of the fist colliding with the spear's edge, producing a deafening explosion.

As the air surged, the surrounding low-level cultivators were thrown several feet away.

A glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and he transmitted his voice.

"Yingying, proceed according to plan!"

Nangong Yingying understood, and retreated rapidly while deliberately shouting.

"You old bastard, come and chase me if you dare!"

The Fifth Elder fell for the trap and flew into a rage.

"Junior is seeking death!"

He flashed across dozens of feet in an instant and slapped Nangong Yingying's face with his palm.

"It's now!"

Gu Sheng's eighteen inner caves opened simultaneously, and his vast true energy condensed into a semi-transparent barrier in front of him.

"boom!"

The Fifth Elder's palm strike slammed into the barrier, sending shockwaves flying.

The barrier shattered instantly, but Nangong Yingying used the force to fly back dozens of feet and then turned to flee into the distant dense forest.

"Where to run!"

The Fifth Elder, unsuspecting, pursued relentlessly.

Upon seeing this, the Fourth Elder's expression changed drastically.

"Fifth brother, come back! This is a transfer."

Before he could finish speaking, an extremely sharp sword aura had already locked onto him.

The Fourth Elder was greatly shocked and turned around abruptly. He saw a figure rush out from the chaotic crowd like a ghost, moving so fast that it almost left a trail of afterimages.

"The Nine Dragons Universe Cauldron, appear!"

Gu Sheng let out a low shout, and the phantom of an ancient cauldron appeared behind him, with nine dragon patterns coiled around it, exuding a suffocating pressure.

A dazzling golden light shot out from the cauldron, enveloping Gu Sheng's entire body.

"not good!"

The Fourth Elder's pupils constricted sharply, and he crushed the jade talisman in his sleeve without hesitation.

A three-foot-thick shield of light instantly formed, covered with mysterious runes.

"King Realm Escape Talisman?"

Gu Sheng looked surprised, but the momentum of his ancient slender sword remained undiminished.

"Too bad, you can't stop me!"

"Zheng"

The sword light was like a rainbow, and the slender sword collided with the light shield, producing a piercing friction sound.

Cracks quickly spread across the light shield, and cold sweat beaded on the Fourth Elder's forehead as he frantically channeled his true energy to maintain it.

"Break it for me!"

Gu Sheng flicked his wrist, and the tip of the sword suddenly emitted a blinding golden light. (End of Chapter)
