He was wearing the battle armor of Chiyun Guard, with a heroic appearance, and his cultivation had reached the early stage of the Marrow Refining Realm, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly and walked towards Gu Xiaojiang.
The two people's eyes met in the air, as if there was an invisible bond connecting them closely.
"Xiao Jiang, I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown into a real warrior."
Gu Sheng's voice was filled with sincere appreciation.
Gu Xiaojiang stepped forward excitedly and held Gu Sheng's hand. "Gu Sheng, it's really you! I didn't expect to see you here, I'm so excited!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to the days when they had practiced together and had adventures together. They walked out of the venue side by side and headed to the Fragrant Pavilion in Dragon City, ready to chat and talk about their nostalgia while eating.
Inside the Fragrant Pavilion, the aroma is overflowing, and the table is filled with fine wine and delicacies. Gu Xiaojiang couldn't wait to tell Gu Sheng about his experiences in Chiyun Guard over the years.
"Gu Sheng, do you know? I have experienced many life and death tests in Chiyun Guard. During the war with Chu State, I was involved in danger three times, and I almost lost my life each time."
Gu Xiaojiang's eyes revealed a hint of fear, but more importantly, they were determined and brave.
Gu Sheng listened quietly, feeling a surge of admiration in his heart.
He knows how much hard work and effort it has taken for Gu Xiaojiang to reach this point.
"Then how did you break through to the Marrow Refining Realm?" Gu Sheng asked curiously.
Gu Xiaojiang took a deep breath, as if returning to that thrilling moment:
"During a fierce battle with Chu's masters, I was trapped and my life was in danger.
At that moment, I felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, and the power in my body seemed to be stimulated. In the end, I broke through the Marrow Refining Realm between life and death and successfully escaped. "
Gu Sheng was silent for a moment after listening, and then raised his glass to toast Gu Xiaojiang: "
Xiaojiang, you are so good! Your growth and breakthroughs are the best reward for us Canghe County. "
The two toasted to celebrate and drank fine wine.
Afterwards, they started chatting all over the place, Gu Sheng listened to Gu Xiaojiang talk about his experiences over the years, and also shared his own stories.
"Gu Sheng, I have heard of your legend a long time ago. You are now a famous figure in the Crimson Cloud Continent, which is really admirable."
Gu Xiaojiang said sincerely.
Gu Sheng smiled calmly, "These are just false names. Xiao Jiang, you are the one that makes me most proud. Your growth and progress are our real pride at Canghe County."
The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with sincere feelings.
They agreed that they would definitely go back to Canghe County if they have the opportunity in the future and revisit the homeland that raised them.
The confrontation between Chiyun Guard and the Chu army was as majestic as two giant dragons circling on the plain.
Gu Xiaojiang stood in the array of Chiyun Guard, his eyes firm, his heart full of desire for victory.
Liang-Qi Allied Forces has a large number of people, warriors with iron bones, silver bones, and gold bones surge like a tide, and Marrow Refining Realm strong ones are as bright as stars.
Although the Chu army was slightly inferior in number, its momentum was not weak at all. There seemed to be an invisible force stirring between the two sides.
On the eve of this war, Gu Sheng of the Saint Pill Sect and Lin Tianhao of the Haoyang Sect joined forces, and their figures were particularly conspicuous among the coalition forces.
Gu Sheng's eyes sparkled with wisdom, and he decided to win by surprise. He went around to the rear of the Chu army and went straight to Chu's lair, encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao.
However, just as they were about to take action, a cold breath suddenly hit them.
Thousand Poisons Sect people appeared, lurking in the dark like poisonous snakes, waiting for their prey to appear.
"You Thousand Poisons Sect are so shameless. You are eating Liang Kingdom's food, but you are facing the Chu State. This is a typical case of cheating!"
Gu Sheng scolded Thousand Poisons Sect for his crimes in a cold voice, his voice as biting as ice.
Thousand Poisons Sect's Elder Fengxing sneered again and again, and he said sadly:
"It's a joke, Crimson Cloud Continent. The sects do not belong to the imperial court. They are all doing business, taking people's money and eliminating disasters. Didn't your father teach you?"
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows, his voice full of disdain:
"You are a good person who takes people's money and eliminates disasters. Is most of the Thousand Poisons Sect located on Daliang's land? Has Daliang collected taxes from you? Doesn't that count as being soft-spoken?"
The words of both sides were full of gunpowder, and hatred was ignited at this moment.
Thousand Poisons Sect The red-haired man raised his brows, his fighting spirit high. The Dark Blood Saber in his hand glowed with a strange light, and blood flowed.
"Phew!"
A bright red sword light struck the crowd, but was scattered by Lin Tianhao's sword.
The two sides immediately confronted each other, and a bloody battle was about to break out.
Gu Sheng's body was like lightning. He rushed towards the Thousand Poisons Sect's warrior. Every move he made was like thunder, shocking people's hearts.
He killed three Peak Gold Bone Realm warriors with great momentum.
Elder Fengxing looked gloomy, and he was extremely fast, but Gu Sheng's Green Vine Demonic Soul was like a gangrene attached to the bone, burrowing into his stomach and eating his internal organs.
Elder Fengxing was in pain, his speed dropped sharply, and his complexion was distorted.
"Gu Sheng, how dare you do this to me!"
Elder Fengxing roared, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
Gu Sheng sneered, his voice full of sarcasm:
"Elder Fengxing, you Thousand Poisons Sect are acting despicably and shamelessly. I, Gu Sheng, am going to make you pay the price today!"
As he spoke, Gu Sheng urged Primordial Saint Body, his body shone with golden light, and under the great light, Great Vajra Palm was photographed.
The golden palm pressed down like a mountain, and Elder Fengxing was crushed like paper under the force of the palm.
Gu Sheng took in the soul of Elder Fengxing and asked Carefree Immortal Step for his secret method.
Under Green Vine Demonic Soul's forcible reading, he got the information he wanted, and then killed Elder Fengxing's soul without hesitation.
After the battle, Thousand Poisons Sect's disciples had retreated, while Gu Sheng and others continued their plan and headed towards Chu's home base.
Chu State has a vast territory, starting from Cangwu in the east and Great Wilderness in the west, bordering the South China Sea in the south and Beiming in the north.
At this moment, the coniferous forest towers into the clouds, Shrouding the Heavens blocks out the sun, is covered with ice and snow, and the cold wind is biting. Gu Sheng and others are going deep inside, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Chu's home base.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves thundering in the distance and smoke billowing.
General Cang Langyan of the State of Chu led a hundred fine cavalry to kill like wolves and tigers. They wore heavy armor, held sharp blades, and had a fierce light in their eyes.
"Gu Sheng kid, how dare you invade our Chu country's territory, you will never come back today!"
Cang Langyan shouted angrily, the sound shook the sky.
Gu Sheng looked grim. He was not afraid at all, but instead had a high fighting spirit. He released Green Vine Demonic Soul, and these green vines squirmed like spiritual snakes and quickly spread towards the enemy's cavalry.
"Zizzizi..."
The sound of corrosion continued to sound. Wherever Green Vine Demonic Soul passed by, warriors below Silver Bone Realm screamed and fell to the ground. Their bodies were riddled with holes and bloody flesh corroded by the ivy.
This scene shocked the enemy. They did not expect that Gu Sheng had such a strange demon soul.
Lin Miaomiao, Lin Qingyu and other members of our own team were also shocked. They did not expect Green Vine Demonic Soul of Gu Sheng to be so powerful.
A trace of fear flashed in Cang Langyan's eyes, but he was Marrow Refining Realm's strong man after all, and he quickly calmed down.
He waved the mace in his hand and shouted loudly, "Don't panic, form a formation to meet the enemy!"
The Chu army quickly formed a battle formation, and Gu Sheng and others did not show any weakness. They drew their weapons one after another and prepared to fight.
Gu Sheng and Lin Tianhao joined forces. One on the left and one on the right, they launched a fierce attack on Cang Langyan.
Gu Sheng's Jade Maiden Sword was flashing with cold light. His sword skills were as fast as lightning, and every time he swung the sword, there was fierce sword energy.
Lin Tianhao's Haoyang Swordplay is even more powerful. His sword light is as hot as the sun, making people afraid to look directly at it.
Cang Langyan held a mace and fought fiercely with the two.
His mace is as heavy as a stone, and every swing carries devastating power.
But Gu Sheng and Lin Tianhao are not ordinary people. With their exquisite swordsmanship and strong cultivation, they are inseparable from Cang Langyan.
"Gu Sheng kid, although you have some means, you are still far from defeating me Cang Langyan!"
Cang Langyan sneered, and he suddenly activated Cang Lang Demonic Soul in his body.
I saw a wolf shadow rushing out from behind him, opening its bloody mouth and biting Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng's eyes were slightly cold. He moved and used Carefree Immortal Step, easily avoiding the wolf shadow's attack.
"Brother Lin, come together and kill this evil wolf!"
Gu Sheng shouted, and he and Lin Tianhao launched attacks at the same time.
The sword lights of the two men intertwined together, forming a bright sword light that slashed directly towards Cang Langyan.
Cang Langyan's expression changed. He did not expect that the joint attack of Gu Sheng and Lin Tianhao would be so powerful.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, the sword light and the mace collided, and strong energy fluctuations erupted.
Cang Langyan was shocked and took a few steps back, while Gu Sheng and Lin Tianhao also felt a surge of energy and blood.
But Gu Sheng did not give Cang Langyan a chance to breathe. He urged Green Vine Demonic Soul again and launched an attack on the Chu army.
The green vines surged forward like a tide, instantly eroding dozens of Chu soldiers into bones.
"Boom!"
Cang Langyan was furious when he saw this, and he rushed towards Gu Sheng brandishing his mace.
Gu Sheng was not afraid at all. He rushed forward and started a fierce hand-to-hand battle with Cang Langyan.
The two of them punched hard to the flesh, and every blow was full of power and skill.
The surrounding air seemed to be ignited by their battle, making a "cracking" sound.
After a fierce battle, Gu Sheng finally found Cang Langyan's flaw.
He kicked Cang Langyan in the abdomen, sending it flying away.
Then he slashed with his sword again, splitting Cang Langyan's head in half.
A Cang Lang Demonic Soul turned into a stream of light and flew out.
Gu Sheng had no time to pursue him, so he just let him run away.
"Cang Langyan is dead, why don't you surrender quickly!"
Gu Sheng shouted loudly, causing the entire battlefield to fall into silence.
The Chu army was shocked when they saw this. They did not expect that Cang Langyan would be killed by Gu Sheng.
Under the lingering power of Gu Sheng, many Chu troops began to consider retreating.
Gu Sheng took the opportunity to observe the entire battlefield. He commanded his own troops and launched the final charge against the Chu army.
Under the heroic command of Gu Sheng, our own troops were overwhelming and quickly defeated the Chu army.
"Zizzizi..."
Green Vine Demonic Soul crazily devoured the corpses on the battlefield, turning the corpses of warriors into bones, which was horrifying.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, Gu Sheng put all the remaining corpses into the storage ring and let Green Vine Demonic Soul slowly corrode.
These things are rare treasures for Green Vine Demonic Soul.
"Zizzizi..."
Green Vine Demonic Soul squirmed in the storage ring, constantly devouring corpses. Every warrior's body melted like ice and snow in front of it, leaving only white bones on the ground.
Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction. These corpses were undoubtedly excellent nourishment for Green Vine Demonic Soul.
After a fierce battle, everyone was already hungry and in urgent need of replenishing their physical strength.
Gu Sheng waved his hand and said, "This place is rich in prey. Let's hunt on the spot. Let's have a good meal tonight!"
After hearing this, everyone became energetic, took out their hunting tools, and headed towards the depths of the dense forest.
Lin Miaomiao excitedly took Lin Qingyu's hand and said, "Sister, let's catch that Icefield Bear together. Its bear paws are a great tonic!"
Lin Qingyu smiled and nodded, the two walked together and soon disappeared into the dense forest.
Gu Sheng took several disciples and chased Kirin Deer's traces.
Kirin Deer was strong and very fast, but Gu Sheng and the others were very skilled and quickly forced him into a narrow valley.
"Everyone, be careful, don't let it escape!"
Gu Sheng gave the order, and everyone released their martial arts skills one after another, trapping Kirin Deer in the valley.
After a fierce fight, Kirin Deer was finally hit by a heavy punch from Gu Sheng and fell to the ground.
"Haha, we have venison to eat tonight!" Gu Sheng laughed and carried Kirin Deer on his shoulders.
At this time, Lin Miaomiao and Lin Qingyu also returned with trophies, each holding a Icefield Bear bear paw in their hands, with smiles of victory on their faces.
As night fell, everyone gathered around the campfire and began to grill the prey.
Seal meat, Icefield Bear palm, Kirin Deer meat... various barbecues are sizzling on the campfire, emitting an attractive aroma.
"Come on, come on, let's raise a toast to our victory!"
Gu Sheng picked up the wine glass and said loudly.
Everyone toasted to celebrate, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful. Under the light of the bonfire, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
At this time, Green Vine Demonic Soul continued to devour the corpse in the storage ring, and its energy became more and more surging.
Faintly, Gu Sheng felt that it seemed to be about to break through. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Green Vine Demonic Soul to break through the two-inch limit and grow to four inches in length.
The green light emitted became more intense, as if it could illuminate the entire night.
Gu Sheng was overjoyed. He knew that Green Vine Demonic Soul's growth meant that his strength had increased.
He silently felt the changes in Green Vine Demonic Soul, and his heart was full of expectations and confidence.
This night, for Gu Sheng and others, was a night full of joy and harvest.
Not only did they enjoy delicious food, they also witnessed the growth of Green Vine Demonic Soul.
"Did you say Cang Langyan is dead?"
After eating and drinking, the disciples of the two factions began to discuss what happened on the battlefield during the day.
"With the protection of the demon soul, his soul should still be there."
"It would be nice if we all had demon souls."
"I heard from my grandfather that the world has undergone changes and is becoming more and more like Primordial Era. Many people will have the opportunity to awaken the demon soul."
Huang Miaoyin released an inside message, and even Gu Sheng was a little surprised.
This didn't seem to be good news for him.
Because he already has a demon soul, and others also have it, doesn't that lower his strength in disguise?
