Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"Pfft!"

With a wave of Gu Chen's large sleeve, a strong gust of wind hit them in the face, the force was mighty and unparalleled. Cangqing and Wu Ming immediately spat out blood and their bodies were sent flying.

Seeing this scene, the talents from the upper realm all looked on with astonished eyes.

It must be known that even though Cangqing and Wu Ming were not the most outstanding figures in the upper realm, their strength was still considerable, and both of them had no weak physical bodies. But now, with just a wave of Gu Chen's sleeve, he had managed to inflict such damage on the two men, which inevitably surprised everyone.

"Good!"

Seeing Gu Chen act so tough, the newly crowned Emperor Ji Yuan immediately looked invigorated, shouting in his heart.

He had long been displeased with these upper realm geniuses, who did not take him, a man of Da Xia, seriously at all, their gazes towards him filled with disdain and contempt. Ji Yuan had long been unable to restrain himself.

Upon seeing this, King Huai's gaze was unfathomable, but his expression remained unchanged. These upper realm geniuses were too arrogant, not even placing him in their eyes. Having Gu Chen teach them a lesson was a good thing.

In time, King Huai could step forward at the end and possibly do these people a favor.

As the conflict erupted, the sound of the string and wind music immediately stopped, and the group of singers stood there somewhat at a loss for what to do.

"You dare to lay a hand on me?!"

At that moment, both Cangqing's and Wu Ming's faces were swollen as if Gu Chen had just slapped them. In full view of everyone, the two of them felt an intense sense of shame and wished they could crawl into a crack in the ground.

At the same time, they also utterly loathed Gu Chen.

"Dissatisfied?"

Gu Chen stretched out his palm towards the two men, and a strong suction force came forth. Under Cangqing's and Wu Ming's panicked expressions, they involuntarily arrived in front of Gu Chen, suspended mid-air.

Slap slap slap!

Gu Chen rotated his arms, slapping left and right. The sound was extremely violent, like thunder. Cangqing and Wu Ming bled from their mouths and noses, their faces swelling visibly at a rate noticeable to the naked eye.

If it weren't for the fact that this gathering was nominally summoned by Emperor Ji Yuan, to whom Gu Chen was giving face by not killing anyone, no matter the civilian or military officials or the nobility present, Gu Chen wouldn't have indulged them, and both of their brains would have been slapped out by Gu Chen.

Nevertheless, this behavior from Gu Chen had already left countless people dumbfounded.

Even King Huai was somewhat in a trance, feeling it was unexpected. He hadn't thought Gu Chen would deal with Cangqing and Wu Ming in such a manner.

As for the civilian and military officials, they had already been stunned, a sense of coldness rising from the bottom of their hearts. If an upper realm talent like Gu Chen could treat them so, not indulging them at all, what about themselves?

At this moment, the group looked at Gu Chen with fearful faces, somewhat scared.

After all, they had responded to King Huai's call and rejected Gu Chen's position as the commander of the guards. There was no guarantee that the Marquis of Wu'an wouldn't harbor resentment and seek revenge.

But obviously, they were thinking too much; Gu Chen simply did not place them in his eyes.

Slap slap slap!

The sound continued; Gu Chen's hand never stopped. Even though Cangqing and Wu Ming were from the upper realm with extraordinary strength, at that moment, they both were beaten senseless by Gu Chen's slapping, seeing stars, their heads swollen like a pig's, unable to utter a single word.

"Stop!"

At that moment, a light reprimand came through, the voice filled with anger. Everyone looked over and to their surprise, it turned out to be from Red Cloud Sect's Bi Xin.

At this moment, Bi Xin's gaze was somber as he looked at Gu Chen and said, "Natives, you've gone too far!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's eyebrows raised. How come someone who meddles in others' business popped up?

"What does me teaching someone a lesson have to do with you?" Gu Chen said indifferently.

Bi Xin coldly said, "No matter what, we are from the upper realm. You, a native of the lower realm, a barbarian from beyond civilization, have not even maintained the respect due to us, and now you dare to be so presumptuous. Do you think that just because you have some talent you can disregard everyone else?"

As soon as these words came out, the gazes of the remaining people from the upper realm all sharpened. Bi Xin's words had indeed reminded them.

No matter what, both Cangqing and Wu Ming were from their same realm, and part of the same camp. Now that these two were being taught a lesson by a lower realm native they looked down upon, it was not only slapping the faces of Cangqing and Wu Ming, but also slapping the faces of all the upper realm people.

With this thought, the gazes from these young warriors of the upper realm towards Gu Chen immediately became colder.

If Gu Chen were from the same place as them, it would have been fine, but being humiliated by a barbarian from the lower realm, even though it had nothing to do with them, made them feel as though they were losing face. If this news spread to the upper realm, they as a group would be mocked together.

Seeing this turn of events, Ji Yuan and others inwardly said that this was not good. With one sentence, Bi Xin had directly positioned Gu Chen opposite all the upper realm talents.

Of course, Gu Chen also noticed the change in the gazes from these upper realm people, but he didn't care much about it.

When he first arrived here, he had already sensed that none of these upper realm talents in the Royal Garden were worth Gu Chen's caution.

That mysterious woman from Youzhou who had once had a brief encounter with Gu Chen was not present here either.

Since no one could make him cautious, what did Gu Chen have to worry about?

Even though Bi Xin had said those words, in front of him, Gu Chen responded with action.

Slap!

Once again, two extremely loud slaps landed on the faces of Cangqing and Wu Ming. This was not only slapping the two of them but also slapping the face of Bi Xin who just spoke up.

"You've got guts!"

Seeing this, Bi Xin laughed in anger. He really hadn't anticipated encountering someone like Gu Chen in the lower realm who dared to be so defiant towards him.

"Do you know, if this were in the upper realm, I could dismember you into pieces and it wouldn't be too much!" Bi Xin's complexion turned thoroughly cold, his voice carrying a chill.

"What a pity, this is the lower realm. Moreover, if I were to appear in the upper realm, you wouldn't even be able to catch a glimpse of me," Gu Chen said indifferently, looking completely at ease.

"Hmm?" Bi Xin frowned, somewhat puzzled.

But in the next instant, his expression changed, and he suddenly realized what Gu Chen meant. If the two were on the same level, Bi Xin wouldn't be worthy of appearing in front of him.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Bi Xin's figure flickered, he transformed into a residual image and in an instant, he was in front of Gu Chen.

He stretched out a palm, red and resplendent, and as the crimson light flashed, Bi Xin made a palm strike towards Gu Chen's face.

"Bi Xin has made his move!"

"Bi Xin has also condensed his divine sense, his strength is extraordinary. It's fitting for him to measure the true strength of this native from the Nine Provinces."

"He is rather arrogant as if he hasn't put us in his eyes at all."

It has to be said, Bi Xin's remarks had indeed provoked quite a bit of hostility towards Gu Chen.

"Oh? Mid-stage of the Divine Sense realm?"

The moment Bi Xin made his move, Gu Chen discerned Bi Xin's exact strength. It was no wonder the other party was so arrogant despite knowing he was in the Divine Sense realm. It turns out he thought he could suppress Gu Chen with a small realm difference.

Unfortunately for him, Gu Chen couldn't be judged by normal standards; the martial foundation and basis he had accumulated along the way couldn't be compared to, even by the geniuses of the upper realm.

Faced with Bi Xin's incoming palm strike, Gu Chen merely extended two fingers and, with the casualness of pointing with a sword, tapped lightly.

Bang!

Gu Chen's fingertips precisely hit the center of Bi Xin's palm. At the moment of contact, a numbing sensation spread from the palm throughout Bi Xin's body, sending a jolt through him as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Pfft!"

The next moment, Bi Xin spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning deathly pale.

Whoosh!

Seeing this scene, everyone from the upper realm could no longer maintain their composure. What had they seen? Bi Xin, who hailed from the Red Cloud Sect, was actually injured by a native from the lower realm they looked down upon—with just two fingers?!

This was simply unimaginable and beyond everyone's expectations!

"With that level of strength, you dare to show off? You should be thankful that you are here today. Had it been another time and place, and you dared to strike at me, you would already be dead," said Gu Chen, his gaze indifferent as he casually glanced at Bi Xin standing there.

Feeling Gu Chen's disdain, Bi Xin felt stifled, a surge of frustration igniting his injuries and causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood.

"Of course, if you were to die from this, it would have nothing to do with me. It would be because of your own lack of self-control," Gu Chen said, as if intent on infuriating him to death.

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Bi Xin nearly fainted from anger.

At this time, among the young men and women from the upper realm, two heroic-looking young men were staring at Gu Chen, their eyes filled with a mix of astonishment and doubt.

The two men were dressed in light golden martial robes of extraordinary quality, giving off the aura of high status, as if they were the center of attention.

In other words, the others regarded these two as their leaders.

It was not hard to deduce from this that the forces behind them were even more powerful than those of the other people from the upper realm present here.

With his incredibly sharp senses, Gu Chen also felt the gaze of the two men, and at the same time, he faintly caught a familiar aura emanating from them.

This made him quite curious.

"Have you cultivated the Pure Yang True Body?" one of the men in light golden robes asked.

This statement immediately caused the rest of the upper realm geniuses to look at Gu Chen with a hint of surprise.

"Has he received the inheritance from the Pure Yang Martial Sect?"

In an instant, Gu Chen understood why he felt a kindred aura from these two people.

It turned out that these two individuals from the Pure Yang Martial Sect had also practiced the Pure Yang True Body.

And the Pure Yang Martial Sect was a supreme power among the Nine Provinces from the ancient times, not inferior to Mount Tianzhu and the Vault of Sky Sword Sect. In the upper realm, it was also immensely vast and nearly on the same level of fame.

"So you're the one who received the trial inheritance!" There was a flash of brilliance in their eyes.

At this moment, for some reason, Gu Chen had a bad premonition.

Qi Yang and Wang Yun exchanged glances, with a flash of joy in their eyes.

It was as if they had found something effortlessly after searching for so long with no luck.

This was also one of the reasons why they had descended to the lower realm. The trial tower left by the Pure Yang Martial Sect in the Nine Provinces contained a great secret!

The Pure Yang Martial Sect from the upper realm had also sent these two to seek it out.

Mainly because, back in the day, the Pure Yang Martial Sect had left in too much haste, and the Nine Provinces were just one of their branches in the upper realm, lacking in knowledge. They had no idea what they had missed.

After learning the truth, the Patriarch of the respective generation in the Nine Provinces' Pure Yang Martial Sect had hit his thigh in anger, but unfortunately, there was no longer an opportunity.

But now, Qi Yang and Wang Yun knew the opportunity had come. If they could find it successfully, once they returned, the sect would undoubtedly credit them with a great merit.

"Seeing that you have good talent and have cultivated the Pure Yang True Body, I now ask you, are you willing to join our Pure Yang Martial Sect?" Qi Yang asked solemnly, his expression serious.
