Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 642 - 467: Enemies Are Destroyed in Laughter and Conversation_2
"Keep up!"
After a relentless chase, they soon saw the blood-stained and disheveled Gu Chen, sitting cross-legged there.
"He is healing himself, be careful, we can't take this lightly."
Seeing Gu Chen alive and badly injured, Gong Hao and his two companions took a deep breath and a glint of joy flashed across their eyes.
If it were Gu Chen at his peak, they wouldn't dare to confront him, the battle at Qi Yun Mountain was still vivid in their minds.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime great opportunity!"
Gong Hao was exhilarated. He believed that, by seizing the opportunity Gu Chen carried, he would definitely become ten or even a hundred times better than Gu Chen, and one of the strongest geniuses in the Upper Realm!
Gong Hao thought that such a legacy falling into the hands of a barbarian from the lower realms like Gu Chen was like a pearl covered in dust. Only someone from the Upper Realm like him could make that peerless legacy shine as it should.
"Success or failure hinges on this move!" Gong Hao muttered inwardly.
He then began to slowly approach, but as soon as he took a step forward, the seated Gu Chen instantly opened his eyes.
"Hmm?"
Gu Chen turned his head and saw Gong Hao and his two companions approaching.
"Brother Gu."
Seeing Gu Chen's gaze upon him, Gong Hao, not a hint of embarrassment on his face, clasped his hands and smiled, "I never expected Brother Gu to be so fortunate. I had just managed to evade that man's pursuit, and specially found three helpers for Brother Gu, but it turns out, Brother Gu has already freed himself."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen remained calm, silent, just looking indifferently at them.
"Gong Hao, why waste words with him? Didn't you see he's severely injured and can't even stand up? Just take him out!" Huang Qian of the Myriad Talisman Profound Sect said coldly with a sneer.
Song Yu of the Pure Yang Martial Sect had a solemn expression, continuously sizing up Gu Chen. No matter how he looked, Gu Chen's condition and the blood on his body suggested he was not in a good state.
At that moment, Gong Hao sighed softly and said, "Well, I wanted to lower his guard a bit, but since it's like this, let's be more direct."
With that, Gong Hao smiled at Gu Chen and said, "Brother Gu, we have known each other for a while now. I know you prefer directness, so I'll speak frankly. Hand over the legacy you're carrying, and I can give you a swift death."
As Gong Hao spoke, Huang Qian and Song Yu also closed in, obviously to prevent Gu Chen from escaping.
At this moment, Gu Chen still had a calm demeanor, his imperturbable eyes surveying the three of them.
"Brother Gu, there's no need to pretend anymore. For one to single-handedly escape from four Coagulation Field experts is truly admirable. I'm also very curious just how much of the legacy you've obtained that has allowed you to come this far?"
Gong Hao shook his head in admiration. Clearly, in his view, Gu Chen must have acquired part of the peerless legacy, otherwise, he couldn't have come this far, as even Gong Hao himself couldn't do it, naturally, he didn't believe Gu Chen could either.
"Stop your nonsense, Gong Hao, just attack and finish him!"
Huang Qian said coldly, he raised his hand and released a talisman, which flashed and transformed into a terra-cotta rope, binding Gu Chen's body in an instant.
"Myriad Talisman Profound Sect?" Gu Chen looked at Huang Qian unruffled.
Huang Qian felt angered by this disdainful attitude. He sneered and said, "You're on death's doorstep, and you're still trying to act tough. This is what happens when a lowly barbarian from the Nine Provinces infuriates the Myriad Talisman Profound Sect!"
As he spoke, Huang Qian raised his hand and released another talisman. This talisman had a sharp aura, and once ignited by Huang Qian's internal energy, it transformed into a dazzling sword light aimed at Gu Chen's neck.
Clang!
Suddenly, sparks flew, and the talisman sword couldn't even scratch Gu Chen's hair, causing Huang Qian's expression to change immediately.
"As expected of someone with the potential to attain a saintly body, Brother Gu's physique is truly extraordinary," Gong Hao of the Five Elements Sect exclaimed, standing aside.
"Hmph!" Huang Qian huffed coldly, feeling embarrassed and indignant at the same time.
"If it weren't for the deterioration of this world that limits the performance of my Talismans, I could've slashed him with just a raise of my hand!" Huang Qian huffed, showing reluctance to admit defeat with stubborn defiance.
Gong Hao and Song Yu exchanged a glance and chose not to expose his bluff on the spot.
It was then that Gu Chen finally spoke, "The truth is, I've never trusted you from the beginning."
"Hmm?" Gong Hao's eyebrows raised at the remark, "Did I betray any flaws?"
"Your terms were too generous, and besides, you've always been suspicious," Gu Chen said indifferently.
"I see," Gong Hao chuckled, considering the people of Jiuzhou as mere barbarians. To attract barbarians, offering substantial benefits was natural, but what Gong Hao didn't expect was that despite Gu Chen's youth, his mind was exceptionally clear.
"It appears that Brother Gu's success isn't entirely due to luck," Gong Hao said, the smile still on his face, clearly confident because he believed Gu Chen was seriously injured.
After all, escaping from a battle between a Transcendent realm and a Coagulation realm, fighting one against four, was already impressive enough. Having suffered severe injuries and lost mobility, it seemed inevitable in the eyes of the three upper realm talents that Gu Chen was easy prey.
"Luck?" Gu Chen shook his head, "I don't know about my luck, but I do know that yours isn't too great."
Upon these words, a bad premonition suddenly sprang within Gong Hao and the others.

"What do you mean by that, Brother Gu?" Gong Hao asked in astonishment, his heart beating wildly, barely resisting the urge to turn and run.
Gu Chen didn't respond but simply stood up, and the earthen-yellow ropes burst instantly. At this moment, his tall and agile figure exerted immense pressure on Gong Hao and the others!
Gu Chen had originally planned to condense his domain and break through to the Coagulation realm after achieving full mastery in the Transcendent realm, only for Gong Hao and the others to make a sudden move.
It could only be said that Gong Hao and his companions were quite unlucky. Gu Chen did become significantly weaker after the recent battle, and had it not been for his points, there might have been a slight chance for them to succeed.
But now, after Gu Chen's breakthrough to the full mastery of the Transcendent realm, Gong Hao and the others had lost all hope, left only with despair.
With an abrupt increase of five hundred years' worth of power inside him, leveraging the might of the Three Suns Scorches the Heavens Skill, Gu Chen was not far from his peak condition.
It's safe to say that Gong Hao and his group had walked into the lion's den.
"Brother Gu... you... you're not injured?!"
As Gu Chen slowly rose, Gong Hao and the others felt as though an ancient demonic mountain loomed before them, a powerful pressure assailing them and causing their bodies to tremble.
"Impossible, this can't be possible, you must be feigning, you're merely in the Transcendent realm, how could you possibly withstand the attacks from four Coagulation realm fighters?!" Huang Qian was nearly driven mad, with bloodshot eyes filled with red veins, standing there disbelievingly howling.
"What about those four Coagulation realm fighters?" Song Yu, from the Pure Yang Martial Sect, asked in a deep voice.
Gu Chen was as calm as ever, answering lightly, "Soon, you'll be seeing them."
"Indeed!" Song Yu of the Pure Yang Martial Sect was shocked inwardly, realizing that he had indeed kicked upon an iron board.
A Transcendent realm fighter who had slain four Coagulation realm warriors was a feat that would cause a stir even in the upper realms, let alone in this lower realm.
"I'm afraid this Gu Chen, once he reaches the upper realms, even if he doesn't qualify as the strongest genius, could still make quite a name for himself. Even among the holy lands, he has the potential to be chosen as a holy son," Song Yu sighed, knowing that today, his death was certain, and the chance of the Pure Yang Martial Sect retrieving the ancient artifact from Gu Chen's hands was likely lost.
"I'll send you on your way," Gu Chen declared, his expression serene, as these foes were too weak to pique his interest in the slightest.
"No..."
Huang Qian from the Wan Fu Xuan Sect shouted desperately, Gong Hao of the Five Elements Sect's pupils contracted, and Song Yu of the Pure Yang Martial Sect closed his eyes, awaiting his demise.
With a soft 'Pu!', with just a simple wave of his sleeve, Gu Chen's profound aura vibrated the heavens and the earth, instantly splitting Gong Hao and the others' bodies apart. They exploded into a bloody mist that filled the sky, leaving not even whole corpses behind.
Gu Chen remained indifferent, treating the act as if it were trivial, even feeling that striking at Gong Hao and the others had been a waste of time.
Afterward, Gu Chen continued his meditation, aiming to smoothly condense his own domain.
