Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 185 Red Flame Demon Sect_1

The Qingfeng Faction was a second-tier sect within Linyang County of Qiongtian Mansion, renowned within the county. Its sect master possessed a cultivation of the great circle of the Gang Qi Stage, and the gate of their mountain was located in a scenic area of Linyang County with clear mountains and beautiful waters.

At this moment, at the gate of the Qingfeng Faction's mountain, stood a figure in black. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome features, a tall stature, loose black hair, and skin as translucent as jade.

Leaning against the mountains and waters, the Qingfeng Faction was located beside a towering and exquisite peak. It was now early morning, and there was a light mist encircling the lush green mountain. Besides, there was a waterfall, with water droplets creating a light spray of mist as they fell, contributing to the verdant and beautiful landscape.

Alongside the mountain, the water murmured as it flowed, surrounded by flowers blooming like a vibrant tapestry, which added much vitality and spirit to this picturesque place.

It must be said, the Qingfeng Faction truly knew how to choose a location. The scenery here was extremely pleasant, and establishing the sect gate here meant the daily view of the mountains and waters would surely make one's mood utterly different.

However, what seemed like a prosperous Qingfeng Faction was, in reality, a branch of the Red Flame Demon Sect. Gu Chen was very clear about this fact: here, several demon sect martial artists were lurking, who from time to time would come down from the mountain to hunt for blood food, providing it to ghouls for absorption.

Although their actions were extremely covert, and they mainly killed loose cultivators and mountain villagers, they were still discovered by the intelligence officers of the Jing Tian Department and reported.

Upon learning this, Chen Yu from the Jing Tian Department in Tiandu promptly assigned the task to Gu Chen, who was stationed in Qiongtian Mansion, to deal with the situation.

The Jing Tian Department was naturally aware of the reputation that Gu Chen had made for himself in the martial world recently, and Chen Yu believed that with Gu Chen, plus the armies of Qiongtian City, eliminating the Qingfeng Faction would not take much effort.

But at this moment, Gu Chen came here alone, without leading the armies of Qiongtian City.

This was because he was in urgent need of points to break through, and he did not want to bring others along. In case any ghouls were killed by someone else, it would be a great loss for Gu Chen.

Now, even a single point was something Gu Chen did not wish to miss out on. One could say that, in order to reach the limit of his physical body and to break through to the Gang Qi Stage, Gu Chen had tried every possible method.

Of course, the reason why Gu Chen dared to come here alone was also due to his absolute confidence in his own strength. In recent times, he had already sent people to investigate the surroundings and found no other demon sect forces lurking.

Moreover, the number one assassin of the Black List from the Blood Shadow Sword had sustained heavy injuries and would not come to assassinate Gu Chen again so soon.

And after some time, Gu Chen became even more compatible with the Blood Shadow Sword. Even if he faced a powerhouse like that assassin again, even if he could not win, Gu Chen would still be able to escape.

The last time in Qiongtian City, Gu Chen did not flee mainly because there were countless citizens around him. If he had fled, the assassin would have gone on a killing spree in the city.

At this moment, in front of the Qingfeng Faction's mountain gate, stood two martial artists. Seeing Gu Chen approaching with a formidable presence, they both reached out an arm and shouted in unison, "Halt!"

Since he already knew the Qingfeng Faction was the Red Flame Demon Sect's base, and that its disciples were demon sect fiends, Gu Chen naturally had no hesitation. With a light flick of his finger, a gust of wind shot out, shattering the plaque at the mountain gate that bore the three characters "Qingfeng Faction."

The two martial artists guarding the gate changed their expressions immediately and shouted, "Who are you, looking for death?!"

While the Qingfeng Faction was only a second-tier sect, it had a considerable reputation in Linyang County and was home to a martial artist at the great circle of the Gang Qi Stage within its ranks. Few in Linyang County dared to provoke them.

Witnessing this scene, many surrounding martial artists were shocked. Someone with sharp eyes, recognizing Gu Chen's appearance and figure, thought deeply for a moment and then shouted, "It's Lord Gu, Gu Chen from the Jing Tian Department!"

The two martial artists guarding the gate of the Qingfeng Faction, who were in fact from the demon sect, had also heard of Gu Chen's recent fame and their expressions changed instantly upon hearing this.

They were just about to say something when they saw Gu Chen simply wave his sleeve. In an instant, a gust of wind hit them, and the bodies of the two demon sect martial artists exploded into a shower of blood.

"Hiss!"

Seeing Gu Chen's ruthless moves, the nearby martial artists were all startled and quickly retreated a great distance.

After killing the two demon sect martial artists, Gu Chen acted as if he had done something trivial. His expression calm, he looked toward the gate of the Qingfeng Faction.

There was a staircase paved with bluestone in front of the gate, resembling a long dragon lying there, stretching far upwards to the mountain top.

Gu Chen stepped forward, ascending the stairs. His demeanor was calm, not showing the slightest intent to kill.

It was as if he had not come here to kill, but instead to enjoy the mountains and waters.

Along the way, Gu Chen encountered quite a few demon sect martial artists. Seeing Gu Chen, their expressions darkened, puzzled by how he had managed to make his way up.

Bang!

The dragon-shaped blast of energy from Gu Chen hit the Gangqi barrier conjured by the Qingfeng Faction's sect leader, causing the old man to shake violently as pain surged through his body.

At this moment, as he looked at Gu Chen, his eyes were full of shock. One strike, just one strike had almost injured him?

He was a master at the grand completion of the Gang Qi Stage!

Even if he was aged and had declined in strength, it should not have come to this.

Not long ago, at Chilong Mountain Range, Gu Chen had relied on a divine weapon to kill Zhao Xingxuan. How had Gu Chen's strength become so formidable in less than half a month's time?

Moreover, a few days ago in Qiongtian City, Gu Chen had been attacked and was supposed to be seriously injured. How could he still possess such power?

He didn't know that Gu Chen's injuries had already healed.

Seeing his attack blocked by the opponent, Gu Chen remained unfazed. He stood firmly, rooted to the spot, his arms swinging and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen dragon-shaped blasts of energy surged out, bombarding the Qingfeng Faction's sect leader.

"Ha!"

The Qingfeng Faction's sect leader, with eyes wide open, used a superior martial art of his faction. His Gangqi converged into a giant palm strike, countering the multiple dragon-shaped blasts of energy from Gu Chen.

But at that moment, Gu Chen, who had been standing still, flashed forward, closing the distance with the Qingfeng Faction's sect leader. At close range, he threw a fierce punch, and the air instantly emitted a boom as a tumultuous wave of energy burst in all directions.

"Ah—"

The Qingfeng Faction's sect leader, seeing Gu Chen's aggressive approach, roared loudly, extending his palms to strike Gu Chen.

Bang!

Upon collision, Gu Chen remained in place, while the Qingfeng Faction's sect leader was forced to stumble back several meters.

"Die!"

The Qingfeng Faction's sect leader, now truly enraged, couldn't believe he was being bested by someone as young as Gu Chen and charged forward aggressively.

Gu Chen, naturally, did not show any sign of weakness. A fierce battle between the two unfolded, and they exchanged over a dozen moves in an instant.

With Gu Chen's current strength, he could contend with a master at the grand completion of the Gang Qi Stage, but to kill such an opponent would still require some effort.

Therefore, Gu Chen did not want to waste time and used his full power from the start!

With a thunderous boom, Gu Chen unleashed the Great Vajra Divine Strength, instantly embodying the Vajra Buddha's might. With one blow, he sent the Qingfeng Faction's sect leader flying, who then coughed up blood incessantly.

The surrounding demon sect warriors watching this scene turned pale with fear.

Ao!

The sound of a dragon's chant echoed, and the Golden Dragon Illusion manifested, coiling around Gu Chen. He lashed out with a fierce punch, and the Golden Dragon Illusion surged forward.

"Wei Jiang, save me!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the Qingfeng Faction's sect leader cried out in alarm.

"Wei Jiang?" Stay tuned to empire

Hearing this familiar name, Gu Chen's brows lifted sharply.
