Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"Who is the hunter, and who is the prey?"

Such words caused Lu Hao and Ding Dai to be momentarily taken aback. Before they could react, Gu Chen's resonant voice rose again.

"Take one step forward, and I'll slay you all!"

Gu Chen's voice rang out clear and sonorous, like swords clashing, thundering under the wide sky of the extremely cold island, profoundly shocking!

Everyone was stunned, but after a moment, laughter burst forth one after another.

"Hahaha, what did you say?"

"Hmph, the kid must be out of his mind!"

"Delusional ramblings, a clown's antics!"

The people of Wind Gate and the Yaksha Clan from Night Spirit Valley looked at Gu Chen with mocking eyes, their laughter was unrestrained and wild, not taking him seriously at all.

After all, in their eyes, Gu Chen was nothing but an unknown pawn, whereas on their side, there were no less than three saint-ranked individuals!

If such behavior, such words, were not clownish, were not the babbling of a lunatic, then what were they?

Lu Hao, Ding Dai, as well as the strongest youth of the Yaksha Clan, looked at Gu Chen with contempt in their eyes.

Let alone them, even the people from Frost Soul Sect who were not familiar with Gu Chen's situation were all looking at him with confusion, not understanding why he dared to utter such words.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge and common sense, upon seeing Lu Hao and Ding Dai, would never dare to be so arrogant.

Even Lu Mingyue, who was acquainted with Gu Chen's "details," was extremely tense at this moment, knowing that although Gu Chen was extraordinary, she was not sure whether the heir of the hidden sect could face three saints and come out victorious.

"Who do you think you are?" These were the words of Lu Hao, who said fiercely, "I have long disliked you; do you think you're worthy of competing with me for a woman?!"

Swish, swish, swish!

The next moment, Lu Hao's expression became ferocious as he swept his hand across, and instantly, hundreds and thousands of cold gleams sparkled in the void, flooding towards Gu Chen like a torrential pear blossom rainstorm.

"Ice Soul Divine Needle?!"

Seeing this, the people of Frost Soul Sect blanched. This technique was extremely powerful even among the sect and few among the younger generation could master it.

Each Ice Soul Divine Needle was as fine as a cow's hair, uniquely slender, and attacked from all over the sky, leaving no room for defense.

If hit, the Ice Soul Divine Needle would meld into the flesh and blood, freezing the victim's blood, even their entire body on the spot, and could be described as penetrating everything.

At its highest realm, it could even pose a significant threat to the Great Powers who had reached the legendary Heavenly Domain!

Sss, sss, sss!

At this moment, a silver light burst forth, especially under the conditions of the extremely cold island, which significantly amplified the power of Lu Hao's attack. Hundreds of Ice Soul Divine Needles, carrying mists of ice, covered Gu Chen.

Under such extreme temperature conditions, Lu Hao was confident that Gu Chen's speed would be greatly affected; he wouldn't be able to avoid this attack!

This was the formidable strength of a saint-ranked individual; among the younger generation, aside from other saints, no one could compete!

"Child's play." At that time, Gu Chen's demeanor remained calm, and with these words, Lu Hao's face sank immediately.

However, before the latter could react, everyone on the extremely cold island saw a scene that astounded them.

They saw that, in mid-air, the densely packed, silver-shining Ice Soul Divine Needles, once they reached three feet in front of Gu Chen, could no longer move forward. Batch after batch of Ice Soul Divine Needles shattered, turning into specks of silver light disappearing into the heavens and earth.

And Gu Chen himself stood there composed, without having moved a step.

This astonishing scene caused the pupils of countless onlookers to constrict violently, and their expressions to fill with shock.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyan also relaxed, no longer tense.

So it is when concerned, even knowing Gu Chen's strength, she couldn't help but worry.

After all, Lu Hao's strength was indeed extraordinary.

"You..." At that moment, seeing his attack rendered ineffective, and so easily neutralized, Lu Hao himself became dumbfounded.

Saint Ding Dai of Wind Gate and the strongest youth of the Yaksha Clan from Night Spirit Valley, an ugly man named Night Mo, both had very serious expressions.

The Ice Soul Divine Needles from before, if it had been them advancing, even though they wouldn't have been injured, they could not have defended as effortlessly as Gu Chen.

"What kind of demonic technique is this?!" Lu Hao shouted incredulously.

"Double-dealing, dishonoring your ancestors, crafty in thought, rebellious in nature, you indeed deserve to be executed!" Gu Chen's eyes were cold and detached. With a light tap of his finger, a sharp sword light emerged, unseen in the void, shooting through the air.

"Ice Soul Myst..." Seeing this, Lu Hao sensed an unprecedented sense of crisis, feeling as if every hair on his body were about to explode. He yelled, trying to employ his strongest technique.

But it was all too late. With a soft 'pfft', a bloody hole appeared in Lu Hao's forehead, with blood profusely streaming out.

And he stood there with his mouth agape, a blank expression on his face, rigid in place, without moving for a long time as his life force rapidly drained away.

Soon after, with a thud, Lu Hao fell to the ground, his eyes showing an unwillingness to close, and a profound fear still lingering within them.

The single wisp of sword light from Gu Chen had utterly scrambled his brain, cutting off all possibilities, and regardless of how extraordinary he was, he was doomed to die.

"Dead... dead?"

Witnessing such a scene, countless people were dumbstruck, whether they were enemies or members of Frost Soul Sect, everyone was the same.

Lu Hao, the strongest disciple of the young generation in Frost Soul Sect, at the full circle of the Heaven-Man realm, died so simply, with someone just lifting a finger?

This was too unbelievable, whether for foes or allies. At this moment, everyone was shocked, inhaling sharply in disbelief.

If asked to describe it, the first thing that would pop into everyone's mind were just four characters—terrible as such!

A figure who could be called a saintly son, was he truly unable to take even one move from Gu Chen?

With such a thought, the people of Frost Soul Sect looked at Gu Chen with eyes full of horror. How strong must this person be?!

This could be said to be a true instant kill. Lu Hao did not even have time to react. All of this only proved the gap between them was just too big.

"Hidden paths, this Young Master Gu Jiuge, is definitely a descendant of a hidden path!" At this moment, even Lu Mingyue had received a great fright, her pretty face turning pale, she ascertained that Gu Chen was a descendant from a hidden Da Sect from the upper realm.

Moreover, this hidden Da Sect's power was definitely not weak, it must surpass the holy lands, otherwise, they absolutely could not have cultivated a person of Gu Chen's level.

Even Wind Gate's saintly son Ding Dai and Night Spirit Valley's Night Mo were both stunned. This was really a bit frightening.

The two of them pondered in their hearts, if it had been them just now, could they have killed Lu Hao in one strike?

Soon, they both had clear answers in their hearts.

"Strike!"

At this time, Wind Gate's saintly son Ding Dai and the Yaksha Clan's Night Mo both roared loudly, signaling everyone to take action directly.

Because, if they waited any longer, Gu Chen's momentum would continue to grow, and without needing to fight, everyone on their side would feel extremely intimidated, completely losing their morale.

By then, whether to fight or not, the outcome would be the same.

"Kill!"

Following that, disciples from Wind Gate and the men of the Yaksha Clan from Night Spirit Valley advanced, ready to start the battle with the people from Frost Soul Sect.

Seeing this scene, just as Gu Chen was about to make a move, he was stopped by Gu Qingyan. Aware of the dangers in the upper realm, she knew that her brother, without any background, might face countless perils with every step he took. Therefore, she hoped that if possible, Gu Chen would retain some trump cards and not fully reveal his strength.

Even in front of the people from Frost Soul Sect, it was the same.

The matter with Lu Hao had made Gu Qingyan grow a lot, at the very least, she would no longer easily trust people as she had before.

Seeing this, Gu Chen immediately understood Gu Qingyan's intention and did not oppose it, his expression calm.

In fact, to him, whether there were a few more people or a few less, it really made no difference. If Gu Chen was willing, with a divine power unleashed, everyone here would be annihilated in an instant, not even ashes remaining.

However, doing so would indeed be a bit too shocking for the world. It was estimated that Frost Soul Sect's sect leader Mu Han, no matter how transcendent, would not be able to sit still anymore.

Now, the strength that Gu Chen had revealed had already reached a limit, or rather, Gu Qingyan felt it was already enough.

"Kill!"

At this moment, Wind Gate's saintly son Ding Dai, with a ferocious look on his face, along with the Yaksha Clan's Night Mo, rushed towards Gu Chen. Two figures at the level of saintly sons actually joined hands to face the enemy, which in itself said a lot.

"Catching Wind Chasing Shadows!"

Ding Dai was the first to attack, unleashing Wind Gate's top technique. In a flash, afterimages filled the sky and fierce winds assaulted the face, making it difficult to discern which one was Ding Dai's true body.

Facing such a move, Gu Chen still remained composed, his finger acting as a sword, pointing gently in a certain direction. In an instant, Ding Dai's expression dramatically changed.

"He discerned my true body so quickly?!" Ding Dai looked on in disbelief.

Fortunately, at that moment, Night Mo from the Yaksha Clan struck, giving him a reprieve.

"Roar!"

Now, the hideous-looking Night Mo roared fiercely, his sharp claws aiming at Gu Chen, and suddenly a green flame surged on his body, giving off an eerie sense, almost as if it came from hell.

"Scram!"

Gu Chen frowned, looking at this ugly creature before him, a light scold echoing between heaven and earth like a dragon's chant, the tremendous shockwave immediately flinging Night Mo's body away, while he continuously spat out blood.

"How can there be someone so powerful?!"

This moment, the entire field was in shock, feeling as if Gu Chen was from a different dimension or a different level of existence, unreachable no matter what they did. The difference was just too vast!

Even more so, they couldn't even sense Gu Chen's cultivation realm, which indicated that he had not even used his true strength. Such a level of combat, to him, was like child's play.

This made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable, especially Wind Gate's saintly son Ding Dai. As a member of the Human Clan, and older than Gu Chen, this caused deep humiliation within him, almost driving him to madness!

However, just as he was about to explode with emotion, an abrupt change occurred.

With a boom, within the ranks of the Wind Gate, dense black mist suddenly erupted, the aura cold and sinister, causing everyone present to have their hearts jump.

A demon had appeared!
