Chapter 1455: Chapter 750: He Won’t Get Far (2)
The Great Elder squinted his eyes.
"What are you whispering about?"
Gu Sheng immediately put on a smiling face.
"I was praising the elders for their profound cultivation and broad minds, even able to endure the provocation from a junior like me."
"Smooth-talker!"
The Great Elder snorted coldly and simply closed his eyes.
"I can’t be bothered to argue with you, wait until the Sect Master comes out, then you’ll be in trouble."
Gu Sheng’s eyes held a coldness.
He pretended to stroll leisurely, occasionally raising his hand to shoot out a streak of Gang Qi, which was easily resolved by the five elders.
Gradually, the five elders became too lazy to even react to his attacks, only occasionally giving him a warning glare.
"I say, elders."
Gu Sheng suddenly raised his voice.
"Isn’t it boring to just stand there? Why don’t we chat?"
The bald elder sneered.
"A dying man, and still so much nonsense."
Gu Sheng was unfazed, continuing to speak.
"I heard the ’Blood Refining Technique’ of the Divine Blood Sect can regenerate limbs. I wonder if that’s true?"
"What’s it to you!"
Another elder from the Divine Blood Sect said angrily.
Gu Sheng lowered his voice mysteriously.
"I’m just curious, if the head gets chopped off, can it grow back?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder suddenly opened his eyes, murderous intent surging.
He had previously been beheaded by Tantai Bingtang’s clone, surviving by luck, but it was his sore spot.
"Brat, you’re courting death!"
The Great Elder’s withered hand jerked up, but stopped abruptly.
Gu Sheng was relieved.
He had bet correctly, these Sect Realm experts indeed did not dare to act rashly.
"Great Elder, calm down."
Gu Sheng feigned panic.
"I was just asking casually."
The Great Elder closed his eyes again.
"When the Sect Master comes out, I’ll be the first to tear your mouth!"
Time passed second by second, but the bronze gate remained tightly shut.
Gu Sheng noticed the vigilance of the five elders had noticeably decreased, with some even starting to yawn.
It’s now!
A cold gleam flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes, the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron suddenly flew out from his forehead, hovering above him.
The ancient-looking cauldron body, with nine golden dragons, seemed to come to life, emitting a dazzling golden light.
"No good!"
The Great Elder was the first to react, but it was too late.
A brilliant golden light shot out from the cauldron, entering Gu Sheng’s body.
The Gang Qi longsword in his hand instantly ignited with a dazzling golden divine flame, the intense heat causing the surrounding air to twist and distort.
"Great Elder, is this all you’ve got?"
Gu Sheng launched his seventh flank attack, the sword edge grazing the Great Elder’s sleeve, leaving a charred mark.
The Great Elder’s face was as dark as water, with a flick of his sleeve, dispersing that insignificant sword qi.
"Junior, you’re seeking death!"
His voice was laced with suppressed anger, yet he still stood unmoved.
Gu Sheng’s lips curled into an almost imperceptible cold smile, his figure like a specter approaching again.
"Once more!"
"Boom!"
Another seemingly fierce but actually weak attack, the Great Elder couldn’t even be bothered to raise his hand, as the Protective Gang Qi crushed Gu Sheng’s sword aura.
"Thirteenth time..."
Gu Sheng silently counted, his peripheral vision sweeping over the four Divine Blood Sect elders watching from afar.
They were already showing impatient expressions, clearly weary of such meaningless harassment.
This was exactly the effect Gu Sheng wanted.
"Enough!"
The Great Elder finally couldn’t endure it, his angry shout causing nearby rocks to shatter.
"A mere Fourth Level Earth Martial Realm, and dares to..."
Before he could finish, Gu Sheng’s eyes suddenly emitted a terrifying gleam.
The dormant source from his past life within his dantian was finally awakened by the Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron, an ancient and terrifying power erupted forth.
"It’s now!"
The Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron appeared above Gu Sheng’s head, the nine dragon patterns lighted up simultaneously, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.
The Great Elder’s pupils contracted, his furious expression instantly frozen.
"No good!"
He instinctively wanted to retreat, only to find the surrounding space seemed confined by some force.
Gu Sheng’s sword was already raised, the blade entwined with gold and red intertwining flames, those flames seemed gentle but caused the faces of the four distant Sect Realm elders to change color.
"Divine Flame Qi Sword?!"
The Second Elder of the Divine Blood Sect exclaimed in shock.
"Retreat quickly!"
But it was too late.
Gu Sheng’s sword descended at a speed that seemed slow, yet was as swift as lightning.
No dazzling sword moves, no complicated trajectory, just a pure and ultimate Flame Sword Qi.
"Sizzle..."
The sound of the Sword Qi slicing through the air was almost inaudible, yet it made everyone’s soul tremble.
The Protective Gang Qi of the Great Elder was torn like thin paper; he didn’t even have the chance to scream before his body split into two.
Even more terrifying was that no blood sprayed from the cut, only white smoke rising.
The Great Elder’s two halves rapidly vaporized under the horrified gazes of all present, turning to nothingness in the blink of an eye, not even leaving ashes.
A deathly silence enveloped the scene.
"This... this is impossible..."
A disciple of the Sun and Moon Sect felt his legs turn to jelly and fell to the ground.
In his mind, the invincible Great Elder was actually killed in one sword stroke by a junior at the Fourth Level of the Earth Martial Realm?
Gu Sheng maintained his sword-wielding stance, his face pale as paper, yet a cold smile hung at his lips.
His True Qi was nearly exhausted, but his aura was more astonishing than ever.
"Does anyone else want to try?"
His gaze swept across the four elders of the Divine Blood Sect, his voice hoarse yet full of intimidation.
The four Sect Realm experts had fluctuating expressions, and not one dared to step forward.
They could clearly sense the terrifying power contained in the illusory Qi Sword in Gu Sheng’s hand, a killing blow threatening their very lives.
"Gu Sheng..."
Xie Qingxuan snapped back from her shock, her beautiful eyes filled with incredulity.
She had never thought this seemingly ordinary young man would possess such power.
Gu Sheng didn’t turn around, instead waving his left hand, a gentle force pulling Xie Qingxuan beside him.
"Let’s go!"
He lowly shouted, his figure retreating rapidly.
"Stop him!"
The Third Elder of the Divine Blood Sect finally reacted, shouting fiercely.
The Sun and Moon Sect people awakened as if from a dream, with more than a dozen figures leaping into the air, various martial technique lights shining, bombarding the direction Gu Sheng was fleeing.
"Boom boom boom!"
Mountains and rocks cracked, trees were smashed, yet Gu Sheng didn’t look back, only condensing a Flame Shield behind to withstand all attacks.
With each collision, his face grew paler, but his speed remained unchanged.
"He won’t last long!"
The Great Elder of the Divine Blood Sect squinted.
"Pursue! But keep the distance."
The four Sect Realm experts finally moved, cunningly hiding behind the Sun and Moon Sect disciples, always maintaining a safe distance from Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng coldly smiled inside, this was precisely the effect he wanted.
While sprinting madly, he communicated with the Spiritual Embryo in his Sea of Consciousness.
"Ready?"
"Anytime."
The voice of the Spiritual Embryo echoed in his mind.
A forked road appeared ahead, a sharp glint flashing in Gu Sheng’s eyes.
"Now!"
A golden light separated from his body, transforming into another "Gu Sheng," dashing towards the right mountain path.
The two Gu Shengs resembled each other in aura, appearance, even the wounds on their bodies, with identical running form down to the smallest detail.
"What?!"
Those pursuing immediately fell into chaos.
"Clone Skill?"
"No, the two auras are completely identical!"
"What to do? Which one to chase?"
The disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect looked at each other, at a loss.
The four elders of the Divine Blood Sect also stopped, exchanging glances with grim looks.
"Split up and chase!"
Elder Blood of the Divine Blood Sect shouted fiercely, a ruthless glint flashing in his muddy old eyes.
His fingers, as thin as twigs, pointed towards the two opposite directions ahead, where each Gu Sheng figure was rapidly fleeing.
"Elder Blood, that boy is cunning with this Clone Skill..."
Vice Sect Leader Wu Santong of the Heavenly Martial Sect frowned.
"Hmph!"
Xue Wuya snorted coldly.
"No matter real or fake, just kill them both! That girl from the Xie Family is with him, he can’t run far!"
"But if he heartlessly abandons that girl..."
Next to Wu Santong, another elder of the Heavenly Martial Sect hesitated.
Xue Wuya’s eyes flashed with blood-colored brilliance.
"Then it’s even more necessary to chase separately! Better to err in killing than letting go! If this boy grows up, the repercussions are endless!"
They exchanged glances and swiftly split into two groups, rushing off in both directions.
