Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 790 - 558: The Target of All - Part 1

The Vault of Sky Sword Sect's sacred child Fu Ling was arrogant and held himself in high esteem, so much so that he could be said to look down on everything. Even in the higher realms, aside from those equal to him as sacred children, he saw no one else among his peers worth his attention.

At this moment, Fu Ling was indeed preparing to make a move upon seeing Gu Chen, just as Brother Zhen Yuan had informed him not long ago.

The qi of Gu Chen and Fu Ling clashed continuously in the void, with streaks of electrical sparks emerging amid the interaction. The entire world, including the mountain peak beneath everyone's feet, seemed to tremble faintly.

"Brother Fu!"

At that point, Brother Zhen Yuan stepped forward, placing himself between the two, and said, "Is there really a need to resort to blows right from the start?"

Meanwhile, other sacred children, including the direct disciples who had followed them from the upper realms, were all watching the scene attentively, not wanting to miss the slightest detail.

Fu Ling's face was expressionless as he regarded the sacred child from the Divine Intent Realm. He simply uttered two words, "Step aside."

Upon hearing this, Brother Zhen Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, then Huang Yan, standing behind Fu Ling with a chilly expression, spoke up, "Brother Zhen Yuan, this matter doesn't concern you. Gu Chen has repeatedly offended our Vault of Sky Sword Sect, acting recklessly on the strength of his own abilities and has angered the sacred child. Brother Zhen Yuan, you also hail from a sacred land; is it necessary to protect someone from the lower realm?"

Cui Ce also spoke up, his voice cold, "Today, we of the sacred lands have gathered here to discuss the Nine Tripods heritage. What right does he have to be here?"

"Brother Gu is here at my personal invitation," Brother Zhen Yuan insisted, still blocking their way and not stepping aside.

"Brother Zhen Yuan, if they want to fight, let them fight. After all, isn't that the purpose of this meeting as well? If we desire to compete for the Nine Tripods inheritance, are we to rely on words rather than combat?" The sacred child from Mount Tianzhu, He Lianying, said with a light smile, though his gaze toward Gu Chen was somewhat menacing.

Clearly, aside from Brother Zhen Yuan, Bai Jingyuan, and Su Nan, the rest were somewhat resistant to Gu Chen.

After all, they all had considerable grievances with Gu Chen.

"What, coming from the upper realm, do you really think you're above everyone else?!" At this moment, Gu Chen let out a cold rebuke, his eyes blazing as if two streaks of lightning flashed through them. His formidable presence erupted, instantly causing Huang Yan and Cui Ce, who had just spoken, to falter in their expressions.

"With you two shrimp solders and crab generals also worth barking instructions at me?!" At that moment, Gu Chen's pupils seemed to transform into two whirlpools. Huang Yan and Cui Ce's minds shivered, and they couldn't help but meet Gu Chen's gaze.

Hiss!

But in the next moment, a streak of sword light flashed through the void, awakening Huang Yan and Cui Ce from their impending stupor.

"What?!"

By the time the two snapped back to their senses, they were covered in cold sweat, looking incredulously at Gu Chen. They hadn't expected his divine sense to have reached such a level that it almost engulfed their own Divine Intent Realm's full mastery.

If not for the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's sacred child Fu Ling who had just taken action, the two of them would have already succumbed.

"That was close." Huang Yan and Cui Ce were belatedly shocked and fearful, beginning to avoid Gu Chen's gaze.

None of those who had come to this place today were simple characters, especially those sacred children. They were all very aware of Gu Chen's action, and their expressions shifted slightly, also taken aback.

Clang!

Suddenly, the sound of a sword ringing out emanated, as a fierce streak of cold light flitted by, piercing through the void at an extremely fast speed towards Gu Chen.

Fu Ling had made his move!

At this moment, the sacred child of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect had a somewhat cold expression. Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with Gu Chen's recent action, ignoring Brother Zhen Yuan who was in the middle and unhesitatingly striking.

Seeing this, Brother Zhen Yuan's expression deepened with concern. He was about to intervene when he heard Gu Chen's voice, "Brother Zhen Yuan, just step aside."

Hearing this, the sacred child from the Divine Intent Realm didn't make a fuss and shifted slightly to the side. The sword qi immediately thrust towards Gu Chen's chest.

Clang!

The sound, like a sonorous bell, reverberated. Sparks scattered as Gu Chen extended two fingers, like the mythical Jiaolong snipping, firmly pinning the solidified sword qi that was about an inch in size, rendering it immobile.

No matter how the sword whimpered low, it still couldn't cross the line by half a step.

Crack!

In the next moment, with an effort from Gu Chen, the sword qi shattered in response.

Seeing this scene, Huang Yan, Cui Ce, and the direct descendants of the other sacred lands all changed their expressions slightly. However, the Vault of Sky Sword Sect's sacred child Fu Ling, as well as the other sacred children, all remained utterly calm.

If Gu Chen didn't even have this level of strength, Brother Zhen Yuan wouldn't have invited him here today.

However, with such strength alone, he still wasn't nearly enough to contend with them, the sacred children. He was far from their level!

Hum!

Another chilling sound of a sword's cry rose. In the void, swords qi condensed one after another, cold light splitting the sky, over a thousand streaks of sword qi tearing through the world, simultaneously thrusting towards Gu Chen.

"Sword qi? I have that too!"

At this moment, Gu Chen's expression remained calm and composed. As his thoughts moved, he extended his five fingers and gently traced them across the void in front of him. In an instant, one sword qi after another emerged in front of him, densely packed and seemingly endless.

This was none other than the Intention Sword Skill, evolved from the minor success stage of the Supreme Shattered Void Invisible Sword Qi!

If it were perfected, a single thought could unleash tens of thousands of swords qi against the enemy, tearing through the world and shattering the void, capable of cutting both body and soul!
