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

Gu Sheng lightly brushed off non-existent dust, looked up at the three people in the air who were dumbfounded, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Too weak. So weak that... it doesn't even arouse a sliver of desire in me to kill."

Before the words were finished—

His figure vanished from the spot like a ghost!

It's not a technique of escape, nor a movement technique, but speed that is pure to the extreme and surpasses the limits of visual perception!

"careful!"

The black-clad man at the seventh level of the Earth King Realm only had time to let out a short cry of surprise. His spiritual senses were frantically alerting him, but he couldn't detect Gu Sheng's movement at all!

The next moment—

"puff--!"

The sound, like a ripe watermelon being smashed by a hammer, suddenly rang out in the silent night sky.

The body of the black-clad man at the seventh level of the Earth King Realm, hidden beneath his night clothes, suddenly exploded out of thin air without warning! It turned into a rain of blood and shattered bones, mixed with the lingering lightning, falling down in a flurry!

There was no fluctuation of true qi, no burst of spiritual power, and not even a discernible attack trajectory! It was as if his body had exploded from the inside out!
But the other two men in black, in that instant, vaguely "saw"... no, they sensed an extremely blurry black afterimage, like the sharpest awl, piercing their leader's chest in a way and at a speed they could not comprehend at all!
Only after the leader exploded into a bloody mist did the afterimage seem to solidify again into Gu Sheng's figure at the edge of the pit below.

Fast! Too fast! Faster than their perception and reaction limits!

"He...he's not a Grandmaster! He's a Body Cultivator! And...an extremely terrifying expert in the Path of Physical Body!"

The black-clad man, a third-level Earth King Realm cultivator, trembled, his voice filled with boundless fear.

He finally realized that the opponent's seemingly mere seventh-level Grandmaster cultivation was a complete disguise! Their true combat strength had already reached a level they could not even imagine!

"escape!"

The last black-clad man, who was only at the peak of the Human King realm, was terrified and turned to flee as a streak of light.

However, now that Gu Sheng has taken action, how could he let them escape?

He moved again, still with that ghostly speed, ignoring spatial distance, and instantly appeared in front of the black-clad man at the peak of the Human King Realm, casually throwing a punch.

"Oh!"

Another cloud of blood mist exploded, leaving no trace of the corpse.

Next up was the black-clad man at the third level of the Earth King Realm, who was terrified and hadn't even had a chance to turn around and run far away.

"Do not--!"

The desperate screams abruptly ceased, transforming into a poignant splash of blood against the night sky.

From the moment Gu Sheng disappeared until all three men in black turned into a bloody mist, the entire process took less than two breaths!
A night wind blew by, carrying a strong stench of blood. Under the moonlight, at the edge of the charred crater, Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his blue robe still spotless, as if the thunderous strike and the instant killing of three people had nothing to do with him.

He calmly surveyed the surrounding deathly silence and spoke in a loud voice.

"You've been watching this show for so long, aren't you going to come out? Or... do you want me to kick you all out one by one?"

The sound echoed through the open mountains.

A moment later, a hundred feet away from Gu Sheng, the void suddenly rippled violently like water. A muffled groan was heard, and a figure shrouded in a wide black robe, whose aura was clearly several times stronger than the previous three men in black, stumbled out. A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his gaze toward Gu Sheng was filled with horror and terror!
"Heavenly...Heavenly King Realm?"

Gu Sheng sensed the other person's presence and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"A second level? You've kept it well hidden. Tell me, who sent you? Or are you like those three idiots from before, also after the Danhuo Secret Technique?"

The black-robed old man's expression changed, clearly not expecting Gu Sheng's perception and strength to be so terrifying. Not only did he instantly kill three Earth Kings/Human Kings, but even Gu Sheng, who was hiding in the void and thought he was invincible, was easily swept out by the opponent's spiritual power and injured by a punch!
He gritted his teeth, a struggle flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, yet hesitated.

Gu Sheng's eyes turned cold.

"Not going to talk? Then go down and join them."

He had never had patience for ambushers who hid their heads and harbored murderous intent.

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved again, still at that extreme speed, and punched the black-robed old man's head!
"Wait! I said..."

The old man in black robes was terrified and hurriedly spoke.

However, Gu Sheng's fist did not stop for the first time.

"Oh!"

With a third loud bang, the black-robed elder's head, along with half of his body, shattered instantly, like an egg struck by an ancient divine mountain! The mangled corpse fell helplessly to the ground.

"What difference does it make whether you speak or not? If you dare to come, you must bear the consequences."

Gu Sheng shook his hand as if he had just swatted a fly, glanced indifferently at the mangled corpse on the ground, and then his gaze flashed like lightning, directed at several other seemingly empty spaces further away.

"And you lot, are you going to come out yourselves, or... let me blast you into dust one by one?"

His voice, carrying a chilling killing intent, was like a winter's north wind sweeping across the silent mountains and fields.

This time, the void was no longer peaceful.

Ripples appeared in several spaces at the same time, and five figures slowly emerged from them.

These five people were no longer dressed in black and masked, but were dressed in various colors. They were of different ages, but without exception, their auras were like the deep abyss and the ocean, and they were all powerful Heavenly King Realm experts!
Moreover, even the weakest among them was significantly stronger than the black-robed elder from before, at least at the fourth level of the Heavenly King Realm! The leader was a young man with red hair and eyebrows, and an arrogant face. His aura was unfathomable, faintly reaching the seventh level of the Heavenly King Realm or even higher!
Five Heavenly King Realm experts! And their cultivation levels are all quite high! This lineup is enough to sweep away many small and medium-sized sects!

The red-haired youth stared intently at Gu Sheng, his eyes filled with surprise, as well as undisguised greed and murderous intent.

He grinned, his voice booming.

“Interesting! No wonder that arrogant woman, the Purple Cloud Saintess, would look at you differently and even give you the ‘Azure Bag Fire Technique’. Kid, you’ve really been hiding your strength! This physical strength and speed… tsk tsk, it’s probably comparable to an ordinary peak Heavenly King Realm body cultivator, right?” He changed the subject, his tone turning sinister.

"However, do you think you can leave Tianyuan Imperial City safely with such valuable treasures with just this little skill? You're being far too naive!"

With a wave of his hand, the four old men behind him moved in perfect unison, forming five positions that subtly blocked all possible escape routes for Gu Sheng. Their energy was connected, creating a powerful trapping and killing formation.

"Hand over the 'Qingnang Lihuo Technique' and any other valuables you have, such as... the powerful physical cultivation technique you practice."

The red-haired youth licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"Perhaps, if I'm in a good mood, I might spare your body. Otherwise..."

An elderly man with a cold aura, holding a snake-head cane, spoke in a sinister tone.

"Otherwise, even if you are a body cultivator with a strong physique and limited skills, you are nothing more than a slightly harder tortoise shell in front of us true experts. Breaking it is as easy as turning your hand!"

The auras of the five Heavenly King Realm experts surged simultaneously, like five erupting volcanoes. The terrifying pressure mixed with icy killing intent swept over Gu Sheng in the center, crushing everything in its path! The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and space groaned under the unbearable weight.

This scene was ten or even a hundred times more dangerous than the previous three men in black!
Seeing that Gu Sheng remained calm and even mocking within his Spirit-Binding and Immortal-Trapping Array, the Heavenly King Realm elder who set up the array felt a sudden chill, but it was quickly replaced by anger.

He suppressed his unease and sneered.

"Even on the verge of death, you're still putting on airs! This Spirit-Binding and Immortal-Trapping Array of mine is based on the 'Heavenly Silkworm Binding Divine Silk' spiritual power secret technique that I have cultivated for hundreds of years. The silk threads are formless and intangible, specifically targeting the sea of ​​consciousness! No matter how strong your physical body is, as long as you dare to make the slightest move, once your spiritual power touches the silk net, your sea of ​​consciousness will be instantly torn to pieces!"

At best, it will severely damage your soul and turn you into an idiot; at worst, it will cause your soul to be completely destroyed on the spot! Those who know what's good for them will immediately hand over the secret technique of the Elixir Fire, and perhaps they can suffer less!

As he spoke, he secretly activated the array. The countless invisible spiritual energy threads that covered every inch of space around Gu Sheng trembled slightly, emitting an even stronger, sharp cutting intent aimed at the soul, like countless sharp blades hanging overhead.

Gu Sheng seemed completely oblivious, even leisurely stretching his neck as he glanced at the five menacing figures around him, a deeper smile playing on his lips.

Something's not right!

The red-haired youth frowned. He seemed arrogant, but he was actually very meticulous. Seeing Gu Sheng's fearless appearance, his senses suddenly became more alert.

He sternly reminded his companion.

"This boy is strange! Don't be fooled by appearances! He can kill a king in an instant, and his physical body is incredibly strong, but his mental strength must be his weakness! This Immortal-Trapping Formation is specifically designed to counter him! Act quickly, lest something unexpected happens!"

Upon hearing this, the other four Heavenly King Realm experts also narrowed their eyes and instantly reached a consensus. The red-haired youth took the lead, clasping his hands together, and flames surged around him, condensing into a lifelike phantom of a fiery divine bird radiating terrifying heat, locking onto Gu Sheng!
The other four, including the old man who set up the formation, also unleashed their powerful true energy simultaneously. Some summoned gleaming divine weapons, while others unleashed their most powerful and deadly martial arts techniques. Five terrifying attacks belonging to the Heavenly King Realm experts were linked together, forming a net that completely enveloped Gu Sheng in the formation! Their killing intent was chilling, and they held nothing back!

Faced with this siege that would make even ordinary peak Heavenly King Realm cultivators shudder, Gu Sheng finally made his move.

He slowly raised his eyelids, his eyes cold and indifferent, and stared directly at the confident old man who seemed to have victory in his grasp, before speaking calmly.

"You seem to... have misread it."

"I am not... a body cultivator."

The moment he finished speaking, Gu Sheng took a step forward! His direction was directly towards the old man who had set up the formation!
"court death!"

A fierce glint flashed in the old man's eyes, but instead of being alarmed, he was overjoyed.

He could almost see Gu Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness shattering like fragile crystal the moment it touched his spiritual threads! He frantically activated the formation, and all the invisible threads, like piranhas that had smelled blood, instantly surged toward the direction from which Gu Sheng had "crashed"!

However, the scene of Gu Sheng's consciousness collapsing and him clutching his head and crying out in pain, which he had envisioned, did not occur.

"Ding! Ding ding ding—!"

A series of crisp, melodious sounds, like the clinking of glass beads or the snapping of a zither string, suddenly rang out in the silent night sky!

Under the horrified gazes of the old man and the other four, an invisible yet incredibly strong "barrier" suddenly appeared on Gu Sheng's seemingly ordinary brow!
The old man's "Heavenly Silkworm Binding Divine Silk," which was powerful enough to cut through gold and jade and specifically damage the soul, failed to advance an inch when it touched this barrier. Instead, it was as if the fragile silk thread had encountered indestructible divine iron, and was broken inch by inch by an overwhelming and irresistible force of recoil!
"puff--!"

The spiritual energy threads were closely connected to the old man's sea of ​​consciousness. When the threads were forcibly severed, the terrifying backlash was like a heavy hammer, slamming into the old man's sea of ​​consciousness!

He groaned, his face instantly turning deathly pale, and fine blood seeped from all seven orifices! The bleeding was especially noticeable from his eyes and nostrils! He felt excruciating pain in his mind, his soul trembling as if it were being torn apart!
"No...impossible! Your mental power...how could it be..."

The old man clutched his throbbing forehead, his gaze towards Gu Sheng filled with utter terror and disbelief! His master-level mental power had been shattered so brutally by the other party?! Just how solid and powerful was the opponent's mental power?!
Gu Sheng did not stop walking; he had already stepped out of the trapping array's range. It was as if the Spirit-Binding and Immortal-Trapping Array, which even Heavenly King Realm cultivators feared, was just a gentle breeze to him.

He reached out, his five fingers spread wide, and precisely caught a faint, dim wisp of spiritual energy in the air.

"Mental power is not used like that."

Gu Sheng spoke in a calm tone, as if he were commenting on a junior.

The afterimage of the spiritual energy thread at his fingertips instantly became crystal clear, like the finest glass silk, after he poured in his spiritual energy, which had become so solid as to be almost tangible.

He flicked his finger lightly.

"collapse!"

Another crisp sound rang out, even clearer than before! The afterimage of the silk thread, infused with Gu Sheng's spiritual power, shot out in reverse with far greater speed and force than before, its target aimed directly at the injured old man's brow!

"Do not--!"

The old man was terrified and desperately tried to use his remaining spiritual power to defend himself, but his mind was injured and his reaction was much slower than a beat!
"laugh!"

The glass thread pierced into the old man's brow without any resistance!
"Whoa—!"

The old man let out a bloodcurdling scream, his whole body went limp as if his bones had been removed, and a thin, hair-like crack, deep enough to see bone, slowly appeared between his eyebrows, with bright red blood mixed with a little white fluid seeping out!
His eyes rolled back, his aura instantly weakened to the extreme, and his sea of ​​consciousness suffered a near-destructive blow. Even if he didn't die, he would never be able to make any progress in his cultivation in this lifetime, and he might even become mentally impaired!

"Grandmaster-level mental strength, passable enough. But using it against me..."

Gu Sheng shook his head, as if he had done something insignificant.

"Overestimating oneself." (End of Chapter)
