Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1321 - 260: Hunting Gu Chen

Chapter 1321: Chapter 260: Hunting Gu Chen

At the sacred realm, atop the Great Snow Mountain.

At this moment, silence pervaded the area, with nothing but a torrential downpour of Peng blood blanketing the sky. All cultivators gazed up in shock, their faces frozen, overwhelmed to their very cores.

Gu Chen’s black hair billowed around him as he stood above the sky, his eyes frosty and indifferent. At this moment, he resembled a great demon king, his imposing aura so formidable that it instilled fear in all who beheld him.

Not a single drop of the bloody rain reached him; his clothes remained unstained as he stood there, his piercing gaze sweeping across all directions.

Descendants of powers such as the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, the White Tiger Clan, the Kirin Clan, the Great Red Sky Palace, and others like Ao Xing trembled uncontrollably at this sight.

As for the other cultivators, many were already dumbstruck, some even shivering at the scene.

Then, with a thud, Jin Xuan’s massive body split in two and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Gu Chen waved his hand, collecting the body directly into his storage treasure.

As he had previously said, the heavenly Golden Roc was a treasure all over; it was not to be wasted.

"young master!" At this sight, the cultivators of the Golden Roc Clan could not help but cry out in grief.

"Kill him!"

"He killed our young master; we must avenge him!"

"He’s used a secret technique and won’t last much longer!"

The cultivators from the Golden Roc Clan were frenzied, believing this to be true. Those who had reached the great completion of the Union Realm, even those who were half a step into the heavenly realm, along with all others, charged at Gu Chen with all their might.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyan and others were immediately anxious and wanted to intervene, but Gu Chen was faster.

He extended a palm, his fingers forming a fist, and then struck out fiercely, with the sound of a resounding dragon’s roar echoing.

Puh-puh-puh-puh!

With a single punch, no members of the Golden Roc Clan could withstand it; Gu Chen blasted them into fragments, dispersing as a bloody rain.

Now, with his black hair wildly fluttering, Gu Chen’s aura was chilling to the extreme, resembling a true god of slaughter.

At this moment, seeing this sight, everyone around fell deathly silent, none daring to meet Gu Chen’s gaze.

Alone, he subdued everyone present, his authority unmatched and unparalleled.

"Puh!"

The next moment, after slaughtering the cultivators of the Golden Roc Clan, his body shuddered, and he couldn’t help but spit out blood, his face turning visibly pale.

"As expected, he used some kind of secret method, and his time is up!" A cultivator remarked, eyes flashing slightly.

"It’s a pity. If Jin Xuan had held on a bit longer, victory might have been his."

"Indeed a pity, he fell without even releasing his innate spiritual treasures."

Seeing Gu Chen vomit blood, numerous cultivators thought thus.

"Big brother!" At this time, Gu Qingyan also became extremely anxious, as they hurried to protect Gu Chen.

But then, Gu Chen’s voice echoed from afar, urging them to stand still and not get involved.

At that moment, out of trust for Gu Chen, Gu Qingyan, Princess Xidie, Yun Zishu, and the four members of Zhen Yuan hesitantly halted and stood still.

Whoosh!

Then, in a flash of light, a figure appeared beside Gu Chen— a weird creature with two heads and four arms, none other than Long Yi from the Gemini Clan, ranked among the top twenty races of the last era!

Gu Chen raised his brows, slightly surprised, not expecting Long Yi to appear at this time.

"Be careful, I will escort you out of here first." Long Yi’s gaze was solemn as he surveyed the surroundings.

Now, all the cultivators around were watching eagerly, many harboring ill intent, not willing to let Gu Chen leave.

After all, his strength and talent were clear for all to see. Once he reached the heavenly realm, who could contend with him?

At least, no peak extraordinary being present had that confidence.

Thus, indeed, many here harbored ill intentions, wanting Gu Chen to perish on the spot.

"There really are quite a few who wish to see me dead."

Gu Chen certainly felt it too. At the Great Snow Mountain summit, amongst the crowd, malicious intent was abundant; at least more than half wanted to make a move on him.

As for the so-called "injury," it was, of course, feigned by him. He did so naturally to "fish," aiming to gather as many merit points as possible and deal with those hostile enemies along the way.

Slaying Jin Xuan seemed effortless, but in reality, it also took about fifty percent of his strength.

"Now that he is gravely injured, why not join forces and kill him on the spot, let him fall right here!"

Suddenly, a voice, icy-cold and filled with murderous intent, rang out at the summit of the Great Snow Mountain, inciting the crowd to unite and leave Gu Chen dead.

The owner of this voice intentionally concealed their origin and true body, not wanting to be discovered, but they were undoubtedly a supreme extraordinary being who had reached the heavenly realm, inciting such words in secret.

"Why hesitate? If not now, then when? You’ve all seen what happened to Jin Xuan. If we wait for him to break into the heavenly realm, who in the vast Holy Realm can oppose him?"

In secret, the cold voice continued, inciting everyone’s nerves, even stating explicitly that Gu Chen carried many treasures on him.

His instigation indeed made many more eager, the number of people harboring malice towards Gu Chen in the arena increasing, his words having the intended effect.

While others couldn’t discern who was stirring things up in secret, with Gu Chen’s perception and the strength of his Nascent Soul, he saw clearly and instantly identified this person.

Several months ago, when the sacred site had opened, he had joined forces with seven others to engage Gu Chen in a fierce battle. He was the hidden sect heir of Lan Yue Lake, named Lan Hua.

At this moment, his expression was sinister as he secretly communicated with the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, the White Tiger Clan, the Kirin Clan, and other top-tier demons, seeking to ally with them to take on Gu Chen.

Lan Hua even felt it was a pity that the Nine Heavens heir hadn’t arrived, for if a person of that caliber had intervened, given Gu Chen’s current situation, he certainly wouldn’t have escaped unscathed.

"Are they treating me as prey?"

After discovering this, Gu Chen’s eyes grew even colder; he knew that the fish he had baited was about to bite.

Meanwhile, standing in front of Gu Chen, Long Yi’s expression grew more solemn. He too felt it, more and more people around them wore malevolent expressions, looking to hunt him down.

"Don’t worry about me; I can escape on my own," Gu Chen secretly communicated to Gu Qingyan and Long Yi.

Boom!

At that moment, an unexpected change occurred. The Great Snow Mountain beneath everyone trembled. Due to the recent great battle, it could no longer hold, and was about to collapse, causing significant chaos.

In an instant, snow flew wildly, obstructing everyone’s vision. Seizing the opportunity, Gu Chen soared into the sky and left the area.

"Chase!"

Seeing this, Lan Hua, the heir of Lan Yue Lake’s hidden sect, swiftly changed his expression and called out to the Silver-winged Man and the top demon of the Golden Lion Clan. The three of them also soared into the sky in pursuit.

Not only them, at the top of the Great Snow Mountain, many were moved to pursue in the direction Gu Chen had fled.

Among the top demons, peculiar men from the Void King Clan, Ao Xing from the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, members of the White Tiger Clan, Kirin Clan, and Heaven Silkworm Clan showed no reaction.

Heirs from the Great Red Sky Palace, Ancient Cave of Spirits, and Blue Moon Cave Sky remained similarly inactive.

Only the Three-Eyed God Clan and Zhu Cheng from the Fire Sect exchanged glances and together soared into the sky in pursuit.

Having previously tracked Gu Qingyan, they knew well that the sacred herb of seventy thousand years, unless unexpected, was on Gu Chen.

On the other side, Gu Qingyan and others met with Long Yi. Before Gu Chen had left, he had told them to regroup soon in the City of Light.

Hence, after a moment’s hesitation, they departed from there and headed towards the City of Light.

Simultaneously, in the heavens above, as Gu Chen left, he sensed that many were following him.

Among them were Lan Hua and his two companions, who were particularly relentless.

Swoosh!

Just then, suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Gu Chen, a young man surrounded by sword energy.

"Is it you?" Upon seeing this man, Gu Chen’s eyebrows twitched slightly; he had met this man once before, who belonged to the Nine-Leaved Sword Vine Clan from the past great era.

Back then, Jian Jiu had wanted to compete with Gu Chen over the control of the 3600 realms but was scared off by him.

Now that he had appeared again, his intentions were quite clear.

Jian Jiu’s expression was indifferent as he looked at Gu Chen and said, "From the cause of a previous day stems the fruit of today. I will strike only once; if you survive, you live; if you don’t manage, you die."

Having spoken, Jian Jiu decisively changed the light and shadows, wielding a congenital spiritual treasure, striking down directly at the head.

Swoosh!

Between heaven and earth, a sharp sword light shone, splitting the void and slashing towards Gu Chen’s brow.

Gu Chen’s expression remained cold as he executed the Nine Revolutions Emperor’s Scripture, his imperial dragon energy sparkling in the heavens, while also activating the Vault of Heaven gauntlets to shatter the sword energy.

However, he also noticed that after making that one strike, Jian Jiu had directly left.

"Quite cautious indeed," Gu Chen sneered coldly. If Jian Jiu had hesitated even a bit longer, he had been prepared to cut him down.

Fortunately for Jian Jiu, a terror of potential accidents had made him leave directly.

However, this strike caused trouble for Gu Chen, acting like a beacon, those looking to hunt Gu Chen consistently moved towards him.

"Ten Heaven realm," Gu Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, sensing Lan Hua’s three and Zhu Cheng from the Three-Eyed God Clan and Fire Sect, whom he was familiar with.

There were five others he didn’t just not know but had never even heard of, extremely unfamiliar.

"Good, I note this," Gu Chen’s expression turned icy.

Facing ten by himself, setting aside others, if those ten started using congenital spiritual treasures right off the bat, it could pose a huge threat to him as well.

Since reaching Heaven realm, connecting further with the heavens, the void, and even the fundamental laws, the power that could be unleashed by using congenital spiritual treasures is also stronger, something Gu Chen had even to be wary of.

That was why he had swiftly cut down Jin Xuan not long ago.

After all, this was the Holy Realm where heavenly rules restrained; his treasures, no matter how extraordinary, couldn’t surpass the level of congenital spiritual treasures. Facing ten alone wasn’t wise.

"If that’s the case, then I’ll start with you three!" Gu Chen’s killing intent was palpable as he set his targets on Lan Hua and his two companions.

Thereafter, his figure flashed, and he vanished, inadvertently leaving some clues for Lan Hua and his companions.

Thus, the three of them, with invigorated expressions, pursued Gu Chen after shaking off the others and followed the trail.

In reality, with their caution, under normal circumstances, they would be skeptical.

But now, they felt that with Gu Chen seriously injured, it was the best time to kill him, so they focused solely on this matter.

Soon, in a dense forest, they caught up with Gu Chen, arriving right in front of him, blocking his way.

Honestly, Gu Chen felt somewhat helpless, thinking that Lan Hua and his companions were too slow. He had even specifically given hints and slowed down, yet it took them until now to catch up; he had been here for nearly half an incense stick worth of time.

"Gu Chen, this time, I see where you can escape!" Lan Hua and his companions sneered as they continually closed in.
