Then I'll Just Level Up

"..."

The air grew ever more silent.

Several seconds passed, yet Chu Sheng still stood motionless like a mountain peak.

The old man, on the other hand, had flushed red, veins bulging across his forehead.

"Old trash!"

Chu Sheng sneered. With a slight lift of his brow, he twisted around and spun on his heel, the bones in his arm trembling violently as his muscles tensed.

A fierce punch shot toward the old man's chest like a cannonball.

Everyone present's pupils contracted sharply.

He was even attacking an elder!?

Boom—

With a deafening blast, the old man flew more than twenty meters away like a sack of flour.

After hitting the ground, he did not move in the slightest.

Eliminated an evildoer who deliberately provoked trouble

Eliminated? Dead?

That old bastard really couldn't take a hit.

He had no real skills yet loved showing off. He didn't die unjustly.

Gu Fang hurried to the old man's side, then cried out in alarm the next second.

"Third Uncle is dead!!!"

The faces of the Gu Family members turned livid as they stared fixedly at Chu Sheng.

If Gu Ruhai had not spoken, they would have attacked long ago.

Yet Gu Ruhai was stunned by the terrifying strength Chu Sheng had displayed.

Though the old man was advanced in years, his Qi Sea Realm seventh level cultivation was there for all to see.

Even an ordinary cultivator of the same realm could never kill him with one punch.

At the very least, it would require someone at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm.

In other words, this youth, whose aura was only at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm, possessed strength comparable to the peak of the Qi Sea Realm!?

What kind of monstrous freak was this?

He was no worse than Changge at all...

"Why are you all staring at me like that?"

Chu Sheng's gaze was contemptuous. He did not regard these people as worth a thing.

"This old bastard struck first. He attacked a Jingwu Bureau law enforcement officer, so I had every right to defend myself without limits."

"It was only one punch. He got off easy."

At those words, the Gu Family members nearly lost control of their rage.

Gu Ruhai said coldly, "Are you here to handle a case, or to kill people?"

Chu Sheng chuckled. "Do those conflict?"

Then he pointed at the cave ahead and asked.

"Gu Changge is inside?"

"So what if he is? The cave is full of chaotic lightning currents. Do you dare go in?"

Chaotic lightning currents?

Isn't this exactly my specialty? Chu Sheng thought.

He possessed the Thunderous Saint Body and was completely immune to lightning damage. No matter what kind of chaotic lightning currents there were, they could not hurt him.

He turned back and instructed Su Qing.

"Wait here. I'm going in to arrest him!"

Then Chu Sheng walked straight toward the cave.

All the Gu Family members widened their eyes.

Gu Ruhai regarded Chu Sheng even more highly in his heart and thought to himself.

This boy's strength is probably on par with Changge's. I just wonder whether he can successfully bring Changge back.

Difficult. Changge should have already advanced to the fourth level of the Qi Sea Realm. For the most exceptional geniuses, the difference of one minor realm is like a vast chasm.

That's fine too. It can count as avenging Third Uncle...

The reason the Gu Family had agreed to issue Gu Changge a letter of forgiveness was truly because he was far too talented.

He had been abandoned outside the family in his early years and survived by collecting scrap. Yet Gu Changge had somehow tempered his cultivation all the way to the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.

In just two years after returning to the Gu Family, he had charged straight to the third level of the Qi Sea Realm!

Feeling that they owed him, the Gu Family let him use all their resources as he pleased.

His two older sisters showed him the utmost care and affection.

His younger brother would rather use fewer resources himself than set some aside to support this older brother.

Unfortunately, he turned a blind eye to all the kindness his family showed him.

Whenever he saw anyone, he would study them with a cold face for ages.

At the slightest provocation, he would say this person harbored ulterior motives and that one was plotting something sinister.

He even claimed that his younger brother was a white lotus.

Whenever anything failed to go his way, he would threaten to leave the family and sever all ties with them.

They took him to see a doctor, who said he suffered from persecutory delusions. Worse still, the more they treated him, the crazier he became.

At last, the tragedy occurred that night.

It was his younger brother Gu Zile's eighteenth birthday.

After killing someone, Gu Changge fled the Gu Family.

As he ran, he howled things like—

"Belated concern," "Supreme Bone," and "Demon God"—words that left everyone utterly baffled.

The cave was indeed filled with chaotic lightning currents, just as Gu Ruhai had said.

But to Chu Sheng, it was nothing at all.

He simply swaggered deeper inside.

Before long, he heard a strange voice.

"Dual pupils were originally the path of invincibility; why should I borrow another's bone?"

"Who cares for belated concern? I choose the life of a Demon God."

"I'm more or less that kind of person, usually joking around with you...

Chu Sheng was so embarrassed he was practically getting secondhand cringe. Left with no choice, he stepped out to interrupt Gu Changge's fantasy.

"Sorry to interrupt."

"I'm an inspector from the Jingwu Bureau. I'm here to arrest you."

Gu Changge froze on the spot. What he hated most was having someone interrupt his moment.

Turning to glare at Chu Sheng, Gu Changge's eyes brimmed with killing intent.

"You have touched my reverse scale!"

"Oh, and?" Chu Sheng asked calmly. "Are you planning to resist arrest?"

Seeing that Chu Sheng was much younger than himself,

Gu Changge frowned and said coldly.

"If you aren't even at the fourth level of the Qi Sea Realm, I'll be very unhappy. The consequences will be severe."

"What a pain..."

As he spoke, Chu Sheng opened his system panel, and a dark-blue panel unfolded before him.

"Then I'll just level up..."

Before the words had even faded, terrifying force suddenly erupted from Chu Sheng's body, tearing apart the surrounding airflow like a mad dragon bursting from an abyss.

Within his dantian, the Qi Sea that had been silent for an entire day surged once more.

Four spiritual energy vortices blazed like scorching suns, sweeping through his meridians with the force of a prairie fire.

Seeing Gu Changge standing frozen there with a stiff expression,

"Still unhappy? You bastard..."

An even more terrifying burst of force exploded outward, sending Gu Changge flying uncontrollably.

After crashing to the ground, he still wore that disbelieving expression.

Three minor realms in five seconds!!?

He had cheats!!!

The corners of Chu Sheng's mouth curled up as he slowly walked closer.

"Sixth level now. Happy?"

Gu Changge nodded blankly.

"Can you die without regrets now?"

Gu Changge nodded again.

"Mm, then die..."

Before his words had finished, Chu Sheng raised his hand and swung his blade. A cyan streak of qi, carrying chilling killing intent, tore through the air.

Gu Changge was instantly cleaved in half.

Blood sprayed wildly, while chunks of flesh mixed with organs splattered across the ground, raising clouds of bloody mist.

Eliminated an evildoer who murdered his blood relatives

Justice Points +2000

Originally, Chu Sheng had not planned to kill Gu Changge,

But he couldn't stand him being unhappy.

Between being happy and staying alive, Gu Changge could only choose one. Chu Sheng chose for him.

After all, an evildoer staying alive was just a waste of air.

Better to die and be done with it once and for all.

Clang—

Chu Sheng's Azure Edge Blade finally could not bear the strain any longer and broke into two pieces.

It was only a first-tier weapon. Chu Sheng was not bothered in the slightest and casually tossed it onto the ground.

"I need to find a better blade somehow..."
