Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"You brat, prepare to die!"

At that moment, the two elder Inner Gang practitioners from the Red Flame Demon Sect advanced in attack. Even when faced with Gu Chen's five hundred and ten years of internal energy cultivation, these two still managed to resist the pressure and closed in on Gu Chen.

Although their united front played a role, it was clear that each of these two, taken individually, was significantly stronger than Hu Wanyuan.

Bang!

A thin layer of Gangqi enveloped their palms. Their strike was incredibly tricky, the palm force sinisterly cold, aiming for Gu Chen's vital parts.

Boom!

At that moment, Gu Chen's body trembled. His vigorous blood energy radiated from within, and combining this with his immense internal energy, he executed the Great Vajra Fist with all his might.

Bang!

Gu Chen, taking on both adversaries, exchanged blows with the two elders. They immediately felt a powerful force from Gu Chen's palms and, despite their combined strength, they could barely resist. Digging their heels into the ground, they slid backwards a considerable distance.

However, they did not suffer any injuries.

"Impressive, young man. Now I see why even our leader gave us a direct order to kill you at all costs," said one of the elders with a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's brows lifted, surprised that even the master of the Red Flame Demon Sect, a martial arts grandmaster of the Xiantian realm, was disturbed by his actions.

"No matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, you cannot escape death this time!"

The elder whose pupils were flickering with a ghostly green light let out a fierce cry. Countless streaks of black qi surged from his body's pores, and his stature gradually grew, transforming in an instant from a stooped old man into a towering giant.

The power of a monstrous demon continued to pour out from his body. The elder felt as if he had returned to his prime—or even beyond it. He reached an unprecedented peak, feeling confident in facing even an Outer Gang martial artist.

"Die!"

With a fierce shout, the elder's palm descended, and the air exploded instantly. A heavy pressure loomed over Gu Chen's heart. With the strength of the demon added to his own, this palm alone had already surpassed Gu Chen in sheer force.

Bang!

As another Inner Gang elder interfered, Gu Chen could only make a hasty counter, unable to block it, and was sent flying far away by the opponent's palm.

Twang—

The sound of vibrating bowstrings was heard as Gu Chen, still mid-air, faced several streaks of cold light. His face grew stern, his internal energy surged, and he used the Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl Golden Bell Shield. The protective Golden Bell Shield immediately materialized, blocking the attacks.

Whoosh!

But then, the two elders from the Red Flame Demon Sect pressed their attack once more, launching a fierce assault aimed directly at Gu Chen.

Clang!

Luckily, with the Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl Golden Bell Shield deployed, it perfectly defended against the two men's assault, allowing Gu Chen to break free from the encirclement and retreat to a distance.

"Superior Martial Skills?"

The two gaunt elders narrowed their eyes, recognizing the grade of the Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl Golden Bell Shield.

Before they could reflect further, suddenly, the next moment, from a distance, a formidable aura emanating from Gu Chen's position made their hearts palpitate.

They saw Gu Chen spreading his arms wide as his vigorous blood energy spilled out. He clenched his five fingers into a fist, readying the Great Vajra Fist.

The specter of a wrathful Vajra appeared behind Gu Chen. Together, they launched a punch through the air.

Boom!

A tremendous force mixed with immense internal energy struck through the void. Faced with this mountain-crushing blow, the two elders from the Red Flame Demon Sect shouted deeply as they joined hands. The surging Gangqi within them erupted, cloaking their bodies as they simultaneously struck back at Gu Chen.

Bang!

In that clash, all three were sent reeling backwards. Among them, the elder not possessed by the demon, had traces of blood coming from his seven orifices.

Gu Chen and the other elder, one with a robust physique and the other possessed by a demon, were both unscathed.

Whoosh!

Seizing the opportunity, Gu Chen spun his body in mid-air and, like a beam of light, rushed forward with a fierce fist aimed straight at the elder not possessed by the force of a specter.

"How arrogant, junior!"

The elder, seeing Gu Chen treat him as prey, was immediately furious. He mobilized his lifelong cultivation to unleash a perfect realm superior martial skill, causing a fierce wind to assail the face and the earth to tremble.

Bang!

Gu Chen's expression was cold and callous, with disheveled black hair and eyes as sharp as blades, intimidating. He met the attack head-on with a direct punch.

However, at that moment, another elder with green light in his pupils, upon seeing this, brought his palm down hard on Gu Chen's back.

But Gu Chen, paying no heed, stirred his inner breath, and the protective Golden Bell Shield materialized to fend off the vicious strike.

"Spurt!"

On the other side, Gu Chen engaged the elder with attack for attack. In a blink, Gu Chen threw several punches. Even if the elder's cultivation was profound, he suffered grievous injuries, as he lacked a perfect realm Superior Martial Skill for protection, and blood spurted from his mouth.

Indeed, the Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Golden Bell Shield mastery of the Superior Martial Skill at the perfect realm was an immense asset to Gu Chen.

"Great Red Demon Saber!"

In that moment, the elder with the flickering green light in his eyes, seeing his comrade wounded, decisively activated the Superior Martial Skill previously used by Wei Jiang in Xu'an County.

Atop his head, a black saber appeared, shrouded in swirling dark energy and imbued with the power of specters, chilling to the bone.

"Slash!"

With a fierce cry, the elder swung the Great Red Demon Saber through the air towards Gu Chen's neck. The pitch-black saber light was menacing.

With a clang, a dazzling golden light emerged. The attack cleaved upon Gu Chen's protective Golden Bell Shield. As the Superior Martial Skills collided, the Golden Bell shuddered and buzzed resonantly.

Being a Superior Martial Skill, the terrifying force of the strike transmitted through the protective Golden Bell Shield and shook Gu Chen's body, causing him to slide backward a great distance.

Capitalizing on this opportunity, the two elders joined palm to palm, their Gangqi converging to power the Great Red Demon Saber above them, chopping at Gu Chen ceaselessly from the sky.

Clang, clang, clang!

Gu Chen held his breath and focused, countering with Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Golden Bell Shield. Had it not been for this protective skill, he would have perished many times over in this battle.

At least, against the Red Flame Demon Sect elder fused with a calamity-level specter, Gu Chen would never be a match, let alone an adversary.

But as the Great Red Demon Saber continued to hack down, the rebounding force penetrated into Gu Chen's body, causing him discomfort and some internal injuries.

He knew he couldn't keep defending passively like this.

In that moment, a fierce light flashed briefly in Gu Chen's eyes as the inner breath of five hundred and ten years within him suddenly circulated.

Boom!

A rich golden light radiated from Gu Chen's body. He activated the Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Golden Bell Shield with all his might. Behind him emerged huge dragon and tiger phantoms, one on each side, as if occupying the heavens and the earth themselves.

"Roar!"

The sound of dragons roaring and tigers howling echoed, and the phantoms seemed as substantive as real creatures, like true dragons and white tigers descending as sacred spirits, their imperious gaze surveying all beings below.

"Spurt!"

Several Vajra Stage martial artists from the Red Flame Demon Sect standing at a distance heard the majestic and potent dragon and tiger roar. Unable to bear the sound, their spirits were damaged, and they spat blood, their faces ashen as they collapsed, unable to rise.

The two Gang Qi Stage martial artists from the Red Flame Demon Sect also suffered, feeling a wave of dizziness and their minds reeling, with a stabbing pain at their temples.

"Die!"

Gu Chen coldly shouted as he threw a punch. The intent of the Great Vajra Fist, unmatched and unstoppable, imbued within. Simultaneously, the dragon shape behind him rapidly shrank to about three feet and, accompanying Gu Chen's punch, it, too, struck out.
