Gu Sheng sneered coldly, appearing right in front of Yu Wenbai, punching through his chest!
Blood splattered, Yu Wenbaiâs eyes widened, looking down at the gaping hole in his chest, and he fell down weakly.
An Early Stage Heavenly Palace Realm expertâYu Wenbai, dead!
Suppressing the surging Qi-Blood within him, Gu Sheng confirmed there were no other enemies and quickly headed out of the pile of strange rocks.
He had just taken a few steps when a fierce killing intent suddenly attacked!
"You brat, where are you running?!"
Zhang Zhishang rushed forward with a fan in his hand, filled with murderous intent, his eyes ferocious.
He mistakenly thought that Gu Sheng had thrown off Zhang Zuo and Yu Wenbai and intended to escape alone, completely unaware that both of them had already been killed!
"Heh, here comes another one courting death."
Gu Sheng sneered, standing still, quietly waiting for Zhang Zhishang to approach.
"Die for me!"
Zhang Zhishang waved his fan, countless Wind Blades roared out, slashing directly at Gu Sheng!
At the moment the Wind Blades were about to hit, Gu Shengâs figure suddenly disappeared!
"What?!"
Zhang Zhishang was shocked, hurriedly turned around, but saw that Gu Sheng was already behind him, his right fist shining with golden light, the Heaven-breaking Fist struck down explosively!
"Bang!"
Zhang Zhishangâs head was directly smashed into his chest, and his corpse fell heavily!
An Early Stage Heavenly Palace Realm expertâZhang Zhishang, dead!
"Hu..."
Gu Shengâs face turned slightly pale.
Having killed three Heavenly Palace Realm experts consecutively, even with his powerful physique, he was somewhat exhausted at this moment.
"Letâs go!"
He grabbed Ling Xiao who was hiding in the shadows and quickly left the battlefield.
The two of them raced away until they confirmed that they had completely shaken off any possible pursuers, then they stopped in a concealed cave.
"You actually killed Zhang Zuo?!"
Ling Xiaoâs voice trembled slightly.
"But he was Late Stage Heavenly Palace Realm!"
Gu Sheng sat cross-legged, operated his Cultivation Technique to adjust his breath, and said calmly.
"The pressure in the pile of strange rocks is greatly suppressive to those who arenât Body Refiners, I merely leveraged the situation."
Ling Xiao suddenly understood.
"No wonder you dared to lure them in!"
Gu Sheng closed his eyes to adjust his breath, without responding.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"What will you do next? Luotian Sect wonât let it go that easily."
Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes.
"Once I recover, I will... kill the rest."
Ling Xiao looked at Gu Shengâs icy gaze and couldnât help but shiver.
He knew Gu Sheng wasnât joking.
"Huâ"
After a long time.
Gu Sheng exhaled deeply, slowly opened his eyes.
The recovery power of the Heavenly Saint Body was truly astonishing; in just an hour, his previously depleted strength had recovered mostly.
He clenched his fists, feeling the muscles once again brimming with strength.
"Theyâre here."
Ling Xiao crouched behind a rugged rock, his voice extremely low.
"At least seven or eight people, they are searching on the periphery."
Gu Sheng silently moved to Ling Xiaoâs side, peering out through a rock crevice.
Under the moonlight, several figures were traversing the chaotic rock formation a hundred meters away, wearing Luotian Sectâs distinctive dark robes, and the sectâs jade badges hanging at their waists glimmered faintly in the darkness.
"Nine."
Gu Sheng quickly assessed the enemy situation.
"Leading them is Gong Xuefeng, a Peak Heavenly Palace Realm. Following him are three Late Stage, two Early Stage, and three Initial Stage."
Ling Xiaoâs Adamâs apple moved once.
"If we fight head-on..."
"Who said I was going to fight head-on?"
Gu Sheng smirked coldly.
"This is our home ground."
He pointed deeper into the Stone Forest.
"You go hide in that crevice from last time, no matter what happens, donât come out."
"You intend to face them alone?"
Ling Xiao grabbed Gu Shengâs wrist suddenly.
"Are you crazy? There are nine Heavenly Palace Realm!"
Gu Sheng gently freed Ling Xiaoâs hand.
"Nine dispersed Heavenly Palace Realm, not nine acting together."
"Here, they canât unleash their full potential."
From afar came shouts, followed by chaotic footsteps.
The people from Luotian Sect had evidently found some traces and were approaching.
"Thereâs no time, go quickly!"
Gu Sheng pushed Ling Xiao.
"Remember, unless I call for you, donât come out!"
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, turned, and slipped into the depths of the Stone Forest.
Gu Sheng intentionally stepped on a dry branch, making a "crack" sound.
"Over there!"
A sharp voice instantly rang out.
Gu Sheng pretended to panic, turning and running into the depths of the Stone Forest.
His movements seemed clumsy but every step was precisely on predetermined footholds.
"Chase him! Donât let him escape!"
Gong Xuefengâs furious roar echoed from behind.
Without turning, Gu Sheng could feel, at least three were hot on his heels, charging into the Stone Forest.
This was precisely the effect he wantedâto scatter the enemies, breaking them down one by one.
Within the Stone Forest, towering black stone columns like beastsâ fangs, interlaced chaotically.
Gu Sheng zigzagged through the narrow crevices while the pursuers had to slow down.
"Damn it, this place is too narrow!"
"Split up to chase!"
"You two go around from the left, Iâll keep chasing!"
Gu Sheng heard the command to divide forces, a gleam in his eyes.
Intentionally slowing down for the pursuers to see a glimpse of his back, luring them deeper in.
"Chase! That kid is right up ahead!"
Liao Feiyu charged at the front, his nostrils flaring, capturing that faint blood scent in the air.
His eyes glowed faintly red in the darkness, an ultimate display of Luotian Sectâs "Blood Evil Skill."
"Be careful, this place feels off."
Kong Zhemao closely following.
"Wei Feng and the others might have met their end here."
"Nonsense!"
Liao Feiyu snorted without looking back.
"Wei Feng and those weaklings canât compare to us. Besides, if someone really died here, how could we not perceive any aura?"
