Chapter 270: Chapter 183: Offense and Defense Transformation, Massacre of the Demon Horde

Gu Wen took a slight breath and felt an unparalleled power, his senses magnified like never before.

He clenched his fist slightly, and the terrifying force bursting from his five fingers instantly squeezed out a dull explosive sound.

Just now, the Golden Light Spell he used had also enhanced him, roughly tripling his physical strength. But for someone like him who did not practice body refinement, a threefold increase sounded significant, but it could not be used in spellcasting.

It might be enough to deal with Hee Huan from the Luodu era.

But now, it was more than a hundredfold. A hundredfold increase in physical strength was comparable to the strength of an ordinary Taoist Soldier, each movement carrying with it the might and defense of a Taoist Soldier. Gu Wen didn’t need the former, as the Immortal Sword in his hand was powerful enough.

The latter was far more important; many times, combat was a matter of brute force flying bricks, either understanding the profound Daoist Skills, unparalleled in attack, or having invincible defense like Vajra.

Besides these three, there were other ways to win, but those were too troublesome and relied too much on the right timing, location, and people. The more preparation required, the higher the probability of making mistakes, and coincidentally, a duel between experts was all about waiting for the opponent to slip up.

This is why the Major Sects all favored Qi Cultivation, Divine Skills, and Magic Treasures--their three main strategies, rather than Arrays, Alchemy, talismans, and so on.

Because they wouldn’t fail, you just take them out and smash with them.

Now Gu Wen had unparalleled offensive capabilities, and with the addition of an indomitable defense like Vajra, he would be invincible in both offense and defense.

Why was Chi Yu Zi’s Golden Light Spell able to cling to me?

Gu Wen thought for a moment, transmitting his doubt to Chi Yu Zi, who replied lifelessly, "The great Dao has a common source; the closer to the peak, the more homogenized it becomes, just as the Immortal Skill only allows one person to become an Immortal."

He remembered that Yu Hua’s mana could also directly enter his body, guiding and sorting. Naturally, Chi Yu Zi’s Golden Light Spell could also cover himself.

And previously, Chi Yu Zi had wrapped him in golden light, only this time the control was in his own hands.

The strength and defense of the Eighth Level Perfection, but it probably couldn’t be considered as part of his cross-level abilities.

This was also enough.

The exchange lasted but half a breath; Gu Wen completely turned around, and in an instant, all demons felt a chill rush up their spines.

Gu Wen’s unmatched impression had been ingrained in the demons’ hearts. Now, if they even lacked the advantage of their realm level, what could they use to fight this monster?

Suddenly, a stroke of azure light brightened. Ao Heng was seen spitting out a Dragon Ball, his aura surging, and groups of auspicious clouds gathering around his body.

Like Chi Yu Zi previously elevating to the brink of Eighth Level Perfection, Ao Heng began to approach it.

The dragon’s roar shook the heavens as if it stabilized the wavering house, stabilizing the demons’ hearts.

All the demons’ eyes lit up slightly; could it be that Ao Heng was going to use his full strength?

Although Ao Heng had been stepped on once by Gu Wen before, not many people knew about it, and even those who did realize that Ao Heng did not use his full strength. He was, after all, the first pride of the Devil Clan. In terms of combat within the same realm, he shouldn’t be weaker than Gu Wen.

Gu Wen cast a glance, but before he could react, he saw the light of the Dragon Ball surge and begin to spread, and then, without lasting even half a breath, the light suddenly disappeared.

Within the Grotto Heaven, the figure of the Azure Dragon vanished without a trace.

Had he run away?

Silence!

Everyone was speechless, and even Gu Wen widened his eyes slightly; he had not expected that Ao Heng, who was so mouthy, calling others "trifles," would run away so cleanly.

Without saying a word, just turning tail and running, almost not giving Gu Wen any chance to intercept.

This is a difficult opponent.

Gu Wen mused inwardly; he had fought against Ao Heng before and knew the latter’s strength.

Those who could be easily surpassed by three levels were mediocrities, those surpassed by two were geniuses, those surpassed by one were exceptional talents, and only those who could be competed with at the same level were at least a Demi Immortal.

The first wave of talented demons who came over were mediocrities, the Four Symbols barely counted as geniuses, and Ao Heng could be considered an exceptional talent.

The prized Demon Core of the Devil Clan’s first pride, Dao Ye, was gone.

Gu Wen’s heart was bleeding, even though he knew that in the end, it was most likely that Ao Heng would escape. The life-saving techniques of these top talents were on par with his own.

Defeating was easy, killing was hard.

Another breath’s time passed, and people gradually came back to their senses, a look of panic starting to appear in all the demon’s eyes.

They turned, they ran, they were frightened, they were desperate to breathe the outside air, time seemed to slow down in that moment, with the exception of the Vajra, who walked down indifferently.

It wasn’t that time had stopped, but that they were too slow.

Then, a golden light shot down from the Heavenly Altar, and immediately a deafening sound of impact roared into the ears, causing the ears of the demons of lower realms still alive to bleed.

Tushan Yun was the target of the attack, for the Ba Snake Demon Saint was a clone, Ao Heng was strong, but she was the true body and weakened by the Heavenly Person’s frailties.

Skilled in Illusion Techniques, weak in body, low in defense.

Boom!

The Vajra stepped on Tushan Yun, crushing her into the ground, causing the strong ground to crack into uneven pieces of rock. The old fox demon, looking like an old hag, vomited blood; her frail body was crushed by the tremendous force, her chest deeply caved in.

"Ah ah ah ah!!! Ba Snake, Fellow Daoist, save me!"

Tushan Yun let out a hoarse scream, exerting all her might spewing Devil Flame, her nine tails whipping at the Vajra, but no matter what, she couldn’t break the defense of the Golden Light Spell.

The Ba Snake Demon was charging over; he was very close to Tushan Yun, and even Chan Xi couldn’t effectively stop him.

Gu Wen raised his left hand, and the Qing python, which had flown toward him like an arrow, stopped dead as if it had struck a bronze wall and an iron barrier, the loud noise accompanied by a blast of air spreading out.

He spoke in an indifferent voice, "Devil Saints, the roles of offense and defense have been reversed."

His other hand slowly gathered the residual image of the Immortal Sword, the tip pointed downward, then thrust it into the fox woman’s chest, nailing her firmly to the ground.
