Seeing Lan Yaoâs expression change, Gu Sheng couldnât help but chuckle and naturally shifted his gaze to Bai Yuâs face.
When their eyes met, Bai Yu tactfully said, "I agree with Lan Yao, showing off isnât a good idea."
Gu Sheng couldnât hold back his laughter and said with a smile, "This Demon Beast might not be able to wait until tonight."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because weâre about to act. Wang Chunshi left us here and drove us into the mountains so that we would deal with this Demon Beast for him. We have something to gain, so itâs natural to put in some effort."
Upon hearing Gu Shengâs words, everyone suddenly realized.
"So thatâs how it is. That old guy is really cunning, but with so many people on his side, why donât they handle it themselves?"
"Because this Demon Beast devoured his disciple and absorbed part of the energy for itself, they canât handle it themselves."
"I see..."
Everyone understood the implication and couldnât help but curse Wang Chunshi.
"That old guy acts so high and mighty, I thought he looked down on us."
"Exactly, he acts all superior and tries to manipulate us, but in the end? He still has to ask for help."
Upon hearing Shi Louâs indignant words, Gu Sheng patted his shoulder.
"Donât worry, we were the ones who needed something from him first. Itâs only normal for him to act a little high-handed. As long as heâs willing to hand over that High-Level Xuan Iron in the end, our efforts wonât be in vain. Letâs go, letâs face that Demon Beast."
Everyone prepared themselves, following Gu Sheng as they traced the Demon Beastâs aura.
As they drew near the base of the mountain, the Demon Beastâs presence intensified.
Feeling it closely, Gu Shengâs expression immediately became grave. He stepped forward, blocking everyone.
"The aura on this Demon Beast is strong. Everyone must be careful."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded seriously, faces tense.
They carefully advanced, and after circling a large rock, they finally saw the Demon Beast.
Behind the rock, the Demon Beast was lurking.
As soon as Gu Sheng and the others appeared, the Demon Beast became vigilant, snorting fiercely, its blood-red eyes fixed on them, claws shifting restlessly.
Sensing the fluctuation from its aura, Gu Sheng heightened his alertness again.
A few steps away, Gu Sheng scrutinized the Demon Beast.
"Have you absorbed so much Spiritual Energy and inner cores to seize Kunming Mountain?"
When Gu Sheng voiced the question, a peculiar expression flitted across the Demon Beastâs face.
Evidently, Gu Sheng had guessed correctly. It indeed had such ambition and had been taking action all along.
Seeing it unabashedly displaying its ambitions, Gu Sheng coldly curled his lips.
"Just with you, do you think youâre worthy? Just a mere Demon Beast, not very strong, yet with such ambition."
As his words came out, the Demon Beastâs face twisted in fury, snorting even heavier, its aura starting to surge.
Sensing this, Gu Sheng immediately drew out the Fire Spirit Dagger.
"Since the people of Kunming Mountain canât act, letâs be the ones to claim your life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng charged forward.
The Fire Spirit Dagger swiftly turned, and a blaze shot skyward.
Upon seeing this, the Demon Beast seemed unafraid, charging straight at him.
As the two were about to collide, a surge of blue aura abruptly emanated from the Demon Beast, violently clashing with Gu Shengâs red glow!
With a loud crash, Gu Sheng quickly spun around, as the impact forcefully grazed past him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Sheng launched another attack, aiming straight for the Demon Beastâs head!
As Gu Shengâs aura flew towards it, the Demon Beast nimbly dodged!
With darkened eyes, Gu Sheng advanced again, the Fire Spirit Dagger dancing fiercely, targeting the Demon Beastâs vital points.
At this moment, Lan Yao, Bai Yu, and the others also advanced, firmly encircling the Demon Beast, launching attacks from all sides.
With no way out, the Demon Beast grew furious, fully unleashing its presence, appearing as though it meant to take everyoneâs lives.
However, the group paid it no mind, relentlessly pressing forward, each strike aimed to kill.
Amid the skirmish, Gu Sheng struck again.
Seeing Gu Sheng in action, Bai Yu and Lan Yao exchanged glances, advancing simultaneously from the left and right, firmly restraining the Demon Beast.
Seeing an opportunity arise, Gu Sheng swiftly charged, with Spiritual Energy flickering on his hands, his figure becoming ghostly.
Just as the Demon Beastâs expression shifted but it couldnât escape Lan Yao and Bai Yuâs grasp, Gu Sheng appeared behind it, his Fire Spirit Dagger infused with Spiritual Energy fiercely stabbing straight into the Demon Beastâs heart!
With a squelching sound, foul-smelling liquid gushed from the Demon Beast, tainting everywhere.
Just as Gu Sheng was about to withdraw, an unusual sensation surged from the Fire Spirit Dagger.
Noticing something amiss, Gu Shengâs face changed, and he shouted, "Bai Yu, follow up with a strike!"
Hearing this, Bai Yu acted instantly, raising his weapon and stabbing down without hesitation.
As his blade plunged, Gu Shengâs pupils contracted sharply. He grabbed Bai Yu and Lan Yao, turning to shield everyone with his body.
The explosion echoed, and the small tripod swiftly flew out, just before all the auras erupted, securely covering everyone overhead.
The massive noise came, and everyone felt the whole of Kunming Mountain tremble for a long time, countless stones crashing down, brutally striking Gu Sheng!
"Gu Sheng!"
"Brother Sheng!"
