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

Everything happened too fast. From the moment Gu Sheng shattered the divine shield to the moment he killed the red-haired youth, only two or three breaths had passed! By the time the white-haired woman and the other two Heavenly King Realm experts behind them recovered from their shock and tried to come to their aid, it was already too late!

As the red-haired youth's gruesome, two-part corpse plummeted from the sky, the remaining three Heavenly King Realm experts' expressions completely changed. Their previous anger, greed, or killing intent were replaced by a deep, almost uncontrollable fear and apprehension!

Five Heavenly King Realm experts! Among them was even a seventh-level Heavenly King Realm powerhouse! They besieged a seventh-level Sect Realm youth, and what was the result? Not only did they fail to capture him quickly, but in a short period of time, two of them were swiftly killed by the opponent's thunderous methods! One of them was even annihilated after his spiritual power was destroyed!
This can no longer be called a "failure," but a complete and utterly humiliating defeat! If word gets out, the forces behind them will be utterly disgraced!
The Heavenly King Realm expert with a hideous scar on his face, and another man wielding a massive mountain-splitting sword with a fierce aura, both turned their gazes to the only remaining woman among the five—the white-haired woman with red eyes and a chilling aura. This woman was second only to the red-haired youth in strength among the five, and was also the most calm and intelligent; she had now become their pillar of strength.

The white-haired woman took a deep breath; the cold air made her lungs sting.

She looked at the young man in the distance, who stood in the void like a demon god, his blue robe stained with blood yet his aura even stronger, and felt a chill in her heart.

She knew that it was too late to change anything today.

"We... lost."

The white-haired woman's voice was dry, with a slight, barely concealed tremor.

She looked at her two companions beside her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Now, we only have two paths before us."

A fierce glint flashed in the scarred man's eyes as he hissed.

Which two?

The white-haired woman spoke slowly.

"First, fight to the death. Bet that he has killed two people and is exhausted, so we should fight to the death. Perhaps... we still have a sliver of hope, and we might even be able to take him down with us."

"What about number two?"

The man with the knife spoke in a low voice, his eyes already showing signs of retreat. Having witnessed Gu Sheng kill two of his companions as easily as chopping vegetables, especially the gruesome death of the red-haired youth, had already shattered his fighting spirit.

The white-haired woman paused for a moment, then lowered her voice further.

"The second option is to surrender. We beg... for his life."

"surrender?!"

The scarred man reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; his fur stood on end, and the scar on his face twisted, making him look even more ferocious.

"Surrender to a junior at the Sect Realm?! I'd rather die fighting! If word gets out, I'd rather slit my own throat right now!"

He glared at the white-haired woman.

"Leng Yue! How could you harbor such a cowardly thought?!"

The white-haired woman, known as Leng Yue, cursed inwardly, "Fool." At this point, what's the point of worrying about face and dignity? In a life-or-death situation, survival is the most important thing!
Moreover, she had a vague feeling that Gu Sheng's current state was definitely not "at his last gasp"! The opponent's unfathomable strength and endless methods left her with no room for wishful thinking.

She ignored Scarface's roar and instead turned her gaze back to Gu Sheng, her eyes flickering as if she were weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, she took a deep breath and made her decision.

She loosened her grip on the ice crystal longsword.

The extraordinary weapon that had accompanied her in battle for many years fell silently, embedding itself in the scorched earth below. At the same time, she deliberately suppressed all her true energy and killing intent, bowed slightly towards Gu Sheng, and spoke clearly.

“Your Majesty is mighty, Leng Yue… surrenders. I am willing to submit to Your Majesty’s disposal.”

Her actions stunned both the scarred man and the knife-wielding man.

They didn't expect Leng Yue to be so decisive and give up resistance so easily!

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng's gaze fell on Leng Yue, and he looked her up and down, a half-smile curving his lips.

"You're quite sensible."

Leng Yue gave a bitter laugh, her tone tinged with self-mockery.

"It's not that I'm being pragmatic, it's just... I don't want to die meaninglessly. If we continue fighting, even if I manage to take you down with me, I'll hardly escape. Even ants cling to life, let alone... I don't want to die here."

Her candor revealed a genuine desire to survive. Those who reach the Heavenly King realm have endured countless hardships and life-or-death battles to get to where they are today. Their appreciation for life far surpasses what ordinary people can imagine.

Gu Sheng remained noncommittal, turning his gaze to the remaining scarred man and the knife-wielding man, his expression indifferent.

"And what about you two?"

Scarface felt a surge of anger and even more humiliation under Gu Sheng's calm gaze.

He suddenly straightened his back, and the Six Harmonies Spear in his hand hummed and vibrated, its tip pointing directly at Gu Sheng, as he shouted sharply.

"Surrender? Those two words don't exist in my dictionary! You junior of the sect realm, stop putting on airs! Take this!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly lunged forward, his spear spinning rapidly. The spear tip scraped against the air, producing a piercing sonic boom, like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, carrying an unstoppable momentum, aiming straight for Gu Sheng's brow! This spear thrust gathered all his remaining true energy and his unwilling rage, its power astonishing!
However, faced with this swift and fierce shot, Gu Sheng's figure swayed slightly.

"puff!"

The spear tip passed right through Gu Sheng's body without any resistance! All that remained was a slowly dissipating afterimage!

"what?!"

Scarface's pupils constricted, his heart filled with horror! His full-force attack hadn't even touched the hem of his opponent's clothes?! And the opponent's speed... was even faster?! After killing two people, how could he still have such abundant stamina and such astonishing speed?! This was simply beyond his comprehension!

Gu Sheng's true form had already appeared not far from Leng Yue's side, as if he had never moved.

He didn't even glance at the scarred man who had missed his target and was filled with surprise and uncertainty. Instead, he spoke calmly to Leng Yue.

"I don't like empty surrenders. To live, you need... a pledge of allegiance."

His gaze swept meaningfully toward the scarred man and the man with the knife.

Leng Yue's delicate body trembled slightly, and she instantly understood Gu Sheng's meaning.

This means she's being asked to... take action against her former comrades!
"Leng Yue! How dare you?!"

Scarface understood, and instantly flew into a rage. He turned his gun around, pointing it at Leng Yue, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "You cowardly bastard! I'll kill you first!"

The man with the knife also had a gloomy expression. He gripped the giant cleaver tightly, looking at Leng Yue warily, and then glancing at Gu Sheng with apprehension.

A flicker of struggle and complexity flashed in Leng Yue's eyes. After all, they had once fought side by side, and the sudden turning against each other was bound to cause turmoil in her heart. But this turmoil was quickly overwhelmed by the desire to survive and the cruel reality before her.

She took a deep breath, her eyes turning cold and resolute.

"I'm sorry, Lei Gang."

Leng Yue murmured softly, her jade-like hand making a grasping motion. The icy longsword, embedded in the scorched earth, flew back into her grasp with a clang. A chilling aura once more emanated from the sword, but this time, its target was none other than the scarred-face Lei Gang!

"You want to kill me? You think you're worthy?!"

Lei Gang, enraged, laughed. He was already hot-tempered, and now, driven to the brink, his ferocity was aroused. Ignoring Gu Sheng, he thrust his spear at Leng Yue! The spear moved like a dragon, and countless spear shadows, carrying the force of thunder, instantly enveloped Leng Yue!

Leng Yue was not to be outdone. Her sword moved lightly and nimbly, exuding a chilling aura as it transformed into streaks of icy sword light, clashing with the countless spear shadows in the sky.

The two were of similar cultivation levels, each with their own thoughts, and they exerted their full strength, causing the void to tremble and the aftershocks of energy to rage. Their attack was no less fierce than when they had besieged Gu Sheng earlier!

Gu Sheng stopped paying attention to the battle and turned his gaze to the last man with the knife.

Upon meeting Gu Sheng's calm yet murderous gaze, the man with the knife felt a chill run down his spine, a coldness shooting from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He instinctively took a half step back, gripping the knife even tighter until his knuckles turned white.

"It seems you've chosen... a dead end."

Gu Sheng spoke slowly, his tone devoid of much emotion, as if he were merely stating a fact.

The moment the words left his mouth, Gu Sheng moved!

This time, his speed seemed even faster than before! Leaving only a faint afterimage behind, his true form instantly traversed hundreds of feet, appearing in front of the man with the knife! A punch, devoid of any fancy moves, carrying a terrifying power to suppress everything, slammed into the man with the knife's face!

"Roar!"

The man with the knife roared, and although he was terrified, he also unleashed a fierce aura in this life-or-death situation.

He dared not take the blow head-on, and his body retreated wildly backward. At the same time, he gripped the sword with both hands, poured all his true energy into the blade, and slashed at the incoming fist imprint with all his might!

"Earth-Splitting Slash!"

A highly refined, earth-yellow blade of light shot out from the blade, meeting the fist imprint head-on!
"boom!"

The fist imprint collided with the blade's edge, unleashing a deafening roar like muffled thunder. The earthen-yellow blade's edge only lasted a moment before being shattered by the dark golden fist imprint! The fist imprint, though dimmed considerably, still hurtled towards the man wielding the blade!

Using the force of the recoil, the man with the knife was forced to retreat dozens of miles again. His face was flushed, and the tiger's mouth of his hands holding the knife was cracked, with blood staining the hilt.

His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. Although that strike wasn't his strongest move, it still contained seven or eight tenths of his power, yet he couldn't even withstand a single punch from his opponent and was even injured by the aftershock?!
This kid's strength is terrifyingly powerful!

Before he could catch his breath, Gu Sheng's figure followed like a shadow, catching up once more! It was still a simple punch, aimed straight at his face! This time, it was faster and more powerful!
"Ah—! This is outrageous!"

The man with the knife had bloodshot eyes, knowing that if he didn't fight desperately, he would surely die today! He bit his tongue hard, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the blade, and at the same time, his blood and qi surged as if they were burning!
"Blood Explosion Technique! Activate!"

A fierce and violent aura erupted from his body! His aura instantly surged from the fifth level of the Heavenly King Realm to the peak of the sixth level! The price was a severe depletion of his lifespan and primordial blood essence! But at this moment, he couldn't care less about that!
"God-Slaying Heaven-Opening Blade!!"

He raised the sword above his head with both hands, and the burning blood energy and violent true energy of his body surged wildly into the blade. The giant mountain-splitting sword burst out with dazzling blood light, and the blade trembled violently, emitting a hum that could not bear the weight!
Immediately, a terrifying crimson blade of light, over a thousand feet long, condensed to its extreme, and seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth, tore through the night sky, carrying a tragic intent of annihilation and creation, and slashed fiercely towards Gu Sheng who was pursuing it!

This strike was the pinnacle of his power, fueled by the burning of his life force and essence! Its power far surpassed all his previous attacks! Wherever the blade's light passed, space itself seemed to be cleaved open with a thin, black mark!

Faced with this deadly strike that could threaten even a peak Heavenly King Realm expert, Gu Sheng's eyes finally showed a slight change. However, he still did not choose to meet it head-on, nor did he completely dodge it.

His figure swayed slightly, and a figure exactly like him, with an aura almost identical, suddenly separated from his body and stood in front of his main body! This figure wore the same calm expression as Gu Sheng, neither dodging nor avoiding, but actually took the initiative to meet the terrifying blood-red blade light!
"puff--!"

The crimson blade of light struck "Gu Sheng" squarely! The resilient, glassy golden body shattered into countless fragments the moment it came into contact with the blade of light, like fragile crystal, scattering in all directions like a beautiful firework in the dark night!
"Hahaha! Dead! Finally dead!"

Upon seeing this, the man with the knife was first stunned, then overjoyed, and couldn't help but burst into laughter! He had paid such a heavy price to finally kill this terrifying monster! It was worth it!

However, his laughter stopped abruptly as soon as it began.

A chilling, bone-piercing coldness suddenly came from behind him.

He turned his head stiffly, bit by bit.

Gu Sheng's true form had silently appeared a few feet behind him, watching him calmly with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He was completely unharmed.

"No...it's impossible...that's..."

The man with the knife froze in his ecstasy, turning into utter terror and bewilderment.

He clearly saw the blade strike... how could this be...?

"It's just an incarnation of a spiritual embryo."

Gu Sheng spoke casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"A desperate counterattack, quite powerful. Taking it head-on might cause some trouble."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Sheng threw another punch! The two were so close, there was no way to avoid it!

"Do not--!"

The man with the knife only had time to let out a desperate roar before instinctively holding his broken mountain-splitting sword horizontally in front of him to block.

"Clang—!! Crack!"

The fist collided with the blade, first producing a deafening clang of metal against metal, followed by a dense, teeth-grinding cracking sound! The exceptional quality greatsword that had accompanied him in battle for many years was actually shattered into pieces by Gu Sheng's punch, scattering fragments everywhere!

The force of the punch had not diminished and landed solidly on the chest of the man wielding the knife!
"puff--!"

A terrifying fist-shaped indentation instantly appeared in the man's chest, and a corresponding bulge appeared on his back, the sound of bones shattering clearly audible! His eyes bulged out, filled with endless pain and resentment. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only a torrent of blood and foam mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out!
