"Second brother, when did you learn to make alchemy?"
Gu Sheng didn't answer, concentrating on controlling the heat.
Every move he made was smooth and flowing, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.
As the last elixir was put into the furnace, the fragrance of the medicine in the entire hall was so strong that it formed a light mist. Gu Lie's pale face gradually turned red in the mist.
A quarter of an hour later, the alchemy furnace suddenly shook violently, and the furnace lid was blown open by a burst of white gas.
Gu Sheng has quick eyes and quick hands. He stretched out his hand to grab it, and two crystal clear pills fell into his palm.
"Nine Revolutions Glazed Pill!"
Venerable Cang Long's voice almost changed its tone.
"Fourth-grade Elixir can actually refine nine pill patterns! What kind of monster is this kid?"
Gu Feng was also stunned.
The two elixirs were like glass carvings, with nine golden lines clearly visible on the surface, giving off a strange brilliance under the light.
Gu Sheng did not delay and immediately put one of the elixirs into Gu Lie's mouth. The elixir melts in your mouth and turns into a golden thread that slides into your throat. After a moment, Gu Lie's body arched up suddenly, and he spurted out a big mouthful of Black Blood.
"Father!"
Gu Feng exclaimed.
When Black Blood fell to the ground, it corroded so much that the stone slabs sizzled and smoke emitted. Gu Lie's breathing gradually calmed down, and the black air on his face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After another cup of tea, Gu Lie's eyelids trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Father!"
Gu Feng cried with joy.
Gu Lie's eyes were still a little distracted, but they suddenly lit up when he saw Gu Sheng.
"Sheng'er, you're back."
Gu Sheng held his father's hand and his voice became much softer.
"The poison has been resolved, please have a good rest."
Gu Lie struggled to stand up and looked around.
"Am I poisoned?"
"It's Five Poisons Heart-Eating Powder."
Gu Sheng said calmly.
"Father, does he know who did it?"
Upon hearing "Five Poisons", Gu Lie's expression visibly stiffened, with fear in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"It's Five Poisons Sect. They attacked me while I was attending the auction."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but his tone remained calm.
"Father, rest assured and recover. I will handle this matter."
Gu Lie suddenly grabbed Gu Sheng's wrist.
"Sheng'er, Five Poisons Sect is not simple, they"
"I know."
Gu Sheng gently patted the back of his father's hand.
"You have a good rest."
Gu Feng couldn't help but interrupt.
"Second brother, I'll go with you!"
Gu Sheng shook his head.
"You stay and take care of father."
See Gu Feng still arguing, he added.
"My father has just been detoxified and needs someone to protect him."
At this time, Venerable Cang Long's voice sounded in Gu Feng's mind.
"Boy, don't cause trouble. Your second brother's strength is far beyond your imagination. In his eyes, Five Poisons Sect is just a chicken and a dog."
Gu Feng looked at Gu Sheng in surprise, who had already stood up and walked towards the door.
"Sheng'er!"
Gu Lie called from behind.
"Be careful, Sect Master of the Five Poisons Sect Mo Wuya is sinister and vicious, and he still has it in his hands"
Gu Sheng paused slightly but did not look back.
"I know."
At the same time, in a black hall on the border of Golden Crow City.
Sect Master of the Five Poisons Sect Mo Wuya was playing with a green talisman with a cold smile on his face. The surface of the talisman is engraved with complex patterns, occasionally with a dangerous light.
"Gu Lie That old guy, you still want to resist after being hit by Five Poisons Heart-Eating Powder?"
Mo Wuya sneered.
"It's really overestimating one's abilities."
Below the main hall, several Five Poisons Sect disciples echoed flatteringly.
"The master of the sect is wise. The Gu family only has a few filthy riches, but they still dare to go against us Five Poisons Sect!"
"That's right, Heaven-tier Spirit Talisman in this auction should belong to us, but Gu Lie dares to raise the price!"
Mo Wuya narrowed his eyes and gently rubbed the magic talisman with his fingertips.
"With this 'Azure Sea Tide Talisman', I, Five Poisons Sect, will be able to dominate Golden Crow City soon."
He suddenly smiled sinisterly.
"When Gu Lie dies, the Gu family will be leaderless, and all their properties will be ours."
"Heaven-tier Spirit Talisman is in hand, Golden Crow City is at your fingertips!"
Five Poisons Sect In the main hall, the door master Mo Tianxie held up a spiritual talisman glowing with purple light, with a ferocious smile on his face.
There were strange lines on the surface of the talisman, as if there were countless poisonous insects squirming in it.
"The sect master is mighty!"
"Five Poisons Sect's domination of Golden Crow City is just around the corner!"
Hundreds of disciples in the hall shouted in unison.
They were dressed in uniform dark green robes with Five Poisons emblem embroidered on their chests, and each of them had morbid excitement on their faces.
Mo Tianxie glanced at everyone with satisfaction, his voice cold.
"Three days later, I will use this talisman to challenge Lord of Golden Crow City, and then——"
"Report!"
A shrill cry interrupted his words. The door of the main hall was slammed open, and a disciple covered in blood stumbled in. His left arm was missing, and Black Blood was gushing out from the fracture.
"Master, it's not good. Someone is trying to kill you at the gate."
After the disciple finished speaking, he fell to the ground and died.
There was silence in the hall for a moment.
Mo Tianxie's face suddenly changed and he shouted sternly.
"What's going on? Who dares to offend me Five Poisons Sect?"
"Report to the Master"
A deacon stepped forward tremblingly.
"All the disciples guarding the mountain outside were killed. Only one person was killed."
"Fart!"
Mo Tianxie smashed the stone chair beside him with one palm.
"I, Five Poisons Sect, have more than three hundred disciples guarding the mountain, and I am even protected by a poisonous formation. How could I be broken by one person?"
The deacon's face was earthy.
"That man. That man is holding an ancient sword. When the sword comes out, you will see blood. He has killed dozens of our disciples. He is coming towards the main hall."
"Trash!"
Mo Tianxie was so angry that he laughed instead.
"I would like to see who dares to—"
"No need to read."
A cold voice came from outside the hall, piercing everyone's ears like an ice pick in the cold winter months.
At the entrance of the hall, a slender black figure walked slowly in.
The person who came was dressed in black, with a face as cold as a knife. He held an ancient long sword in his hand. The sword was stained with blood, leaving a scarlet mark on the ground.
The most shocking thing is that there is no spiritual power fluctuation around his body, but it gives people an unfathomable sense of oppression.
"Who are you?"
Mo Tianxie narrowed his eyes and glanced at the person with a viper-like gaze.
The young man in black raised his eyes, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Gu Sheng."
These two simple words caused the temperature of the hall to plummet.
"Gu Sheng?"
Mo Tianxie frowned and thought, then sneered.
"You dare to break into my Five Poisons Sect, a nobody? You're looking for death!"
Gu Sheng's lips curled up with sarcasm.
"Master Mo, you forget things a lot. Half a month ago, you seriously injured a warrior named Gu Lie outside Golden Crow City. Do you still remember?"
Mo Tianxie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
"Oh? That old guy who overestimates his capabilities? I just sent away an ant. Why, are you here to avenge him?"
"He is my father."
Gu Sheng's voice was calm, but it made everyone present feel a tremor.
Mo Tianxie laughed when he heard this.
"Hahaha, that's it! That old guy was hit by my Five Poisons Heart Devouring Palm. I'm afraid he has turned into a pool of pus and blood by now, right?"
Gu Sheng's eyes surged with murderous intent, and the ancient sword in his hand buzzed.
"So, let me ask for an explanation."
"Ask for an explanation?"
Mo Tianxie smiled ferociously.
"Boy, do you know where this place is? This is my Five Poisons Sect headquarters! If you come here alone, you will die!"
He waved his hand suddenly, and dozens of elite disciples suddenly poured out from around the hall, each holding a poisonous blade, surrounding Gu Sheng.
"Kneel down and beg for mercy now, and I may be able to give you a pleasure."
Mo Tianxie said in a negative way.
"Otherwise, I'll let you taste the poison that eats your heart!"
Gu Sheng looked around, his expression unchanged.
"That's all?"
"Arrogant!"
Mo Tianxie shouted angrily.
"Get it for me!"
Dozens of disciples took action at the same time, and all kinds of poisonous mist, poisonous needles, and poisonous blades struck Gu Sheng like a torrential rain.
Gu Sheng stood still and did not move, but gently raised the ancient sword in his hand.
"Broken wind."
The two words were spoken softly, and the ancient sword suddenly burst into dazzling green light. A sword energy swept out, and wherever it passed, the poisonous mist dissipated, the poisonous needle shattered, and the poisonous blade broke.
"Ah!"
Screams came and went. Dozens of disciples flew out together and hit the stone pillars of the hall, vomiting blood. Several people were cut in half directly by the sword energy, and their internal organs were scattered on the ground.
Mo Tianxie's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Spiritual weapon?!"
Gu Sheng shook off the blood beads on the sword and moved forward slowly.
"Now, it's our turn."
Mo Tianxie's face was as gloomy as water.
"Boy, don't think that you can run rampant with a spiritual weapon! I am peak Black Tortoise Realm, and I have Heaven-tier Spirit Talisman in my hand. I will kill you like a dog!"
"Really?"
Gu Sheng sneered.
"Then why are you shaking?"
Mo Tianxie was furious when he heard this, but actually found that his palms were sweating. The sense of oppression this young man gave him was even stronger than when he faced Lord of Golden Crow City.
"Seeking death!"
Mo Tianxie shouted loudly, and his palms glowed with purple-black poisonous light.
"Five Poisons Heart Devouring Palm!"
The wind roared from the palm, carrying a smelly poisonous mist towards Gu Sheng.
Wherever the poisonous mist passed, the stone slabs on the ground were corroded into pits, showing the intensity of the poison.
Gu Sheng did not dodge or evade, but sheathed his sword, made a fist with his right hand, and punched out with the poisonous palm.
"Seeking death!"
Mo Tianxie smiled ferociously.
"How dare you take my poisonous palm?"
The fists and palms collided, and the air wave exploded.
"Pfft——"
Mo Tianxie spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. He hit the main seat of the hall hard and smashed the jade seat into pieces.
"Master!"
All the disciples exclaimed.
Mo Tianxie struggled to get up, but there was a proud look on his face.
"Haha. Boy, you have been hit by me Five Poisons Heart-Eating Powder. If you don't take three breaths, you will turn into a pool of pus and blood!"
Gu Sheng stood there, looking at him expressionlessly.
One breath. Two breaths. Three breaths.
Mo Tianxie's smile froze on his face.
"No way! How can you be okay?"
Gu Sheng A faint white mist suddenly evaporated all over his body, and traces of lavender poisonous smoke were discharged from his pores.
He smiled contemptuously.
"Five Poisons Heart-Eating Powder? It's just garbage."
"Who are you?"
Mo Tianxie finally panicked.
"Five Poisons Heart-Eating Powder is the poison of our sect. Anyone who touches Black Tortoise Realm will die. How could you possibly"
Gu Sheng walked forward slowly.
"Have you heard of Extreme Poison Emperor?"
"Extreme Poison Emperor?!"
Mo Tianxie It's like being struck by lightning.
"Impossible! That is the legendary Supreme of the Poison Path, which has fallen for thousands of years! You"
"It seems you know."
Gu Sheng sneered.
"Then you should understand that your Five Poisons Sect's meager poison skills are worse than rubbish in front of the Poison Emperor's inheritance."
Mo Tianxie's face was ashen and he suddenly said sharply.
"Boy! Don't be proud! My Five Poisons Sect ancestor is Earth Martial Realm a strong man. If you kill me, my ancestor will make your life worse than death!"
"Earth Martial Realm?"
Gu Sheng sneered.
"Is it great?"
Before he finished speaking, Severing Wind Ancient Sword was already unsheathed in his hand.
The sword light flashed like lightning.
Mo Tianxie still maintained a threatening expression, but his head was flying high. Blood spurted out from his neck and splashed on the faces of the surrounding disciples.
There was dead silence in the hall.
All Five Poisons Sect disciples were stunned and couldn't believe the scene before them.
Their invincible sect leader was beheaded with a sword?
"The master of the door is dead?"
muttered one of the butlers.
"Run!"
Someone shouted, and the hall suddenly became chaotic. Hundreds of disciples rushed out of the hall like frightened birds. Many were pushed to the ground and trampled on.
"Run?"
Gu Sheng A sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Five Poisons Sect up and down, no one will be left alive today."
Before he finished speaking, his figure had turned into an afterimage. Before the fallen leaves on the ground could even be picked up by the airflow, Gu Sheng appeared thirty feet away and slapped the Five Poisons Sect disciple on the back as he fled in a hurry.
"Ah——"
The screams stopped abruptly.
The disciple's body flew out like a rag and hit the stone wall. Blood snaked down the cracks in the wall.
Gu Sheng took back his palm expressionlessly, turned around and walked towards the next target.
His movements were incredibly fast, and every shot was precise and ruthless, leaving no room for error.
Five Poisons Sect disciples discovered in horror that no matter how they dispersed and escaped, the death-like figure would always follow them.
After burning a stick of incense, Gu Sheng slowly walked out of the Five Poisons Sect main hall.
His robes were still as neat as new, with no wrinkles at all, as if the massacre just now had nothing to do with him. Behind him, the scattered corpses silently told the horror of this killing.
"Five Poisons Sect, nothing more than that."
Gu Sheng said softly, taking out a silk handkerchief from his arms and wiping his fingers slowly.
Suddenly, his brows moved slightly, sensing strange fluctuations coming from Innate Spirit Embryo within his body.
Gu Sheng closed his eyes and concentrated, following the guidance to the Five Poisons Sect warehouse. Pushing open the heavy iron door, a smell mixed with medicinal and musty smells hit your face.
"This is."
Gu Sheng's eyes fell on an inconspicuous jade box in the corner.
He stretched out his hand and the jade box automatically flew into his palm. After opening it, a spiritual grass with five leaves, each of a different color, lay quietly inside.
"Five-Colored Immortal Spirit Grass?"
Gu Sheng had surprise in his eyes.
"It is rumored that the five leaves of this herb belong to the five elements. If used alone, it is highly poisonous, but when refined at the same time, it can be protected from all poisons."
He put the jade box into the storage ring without hesitation, then flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of green flame fell on the Sect Master of the Five Poisons Sect temple.
The fire spread rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, the entire Five Poisons Sect station was in flames.
Gu Sheng stood in the distance, watching the soaring flames reflecting half of the sky, his face still calm.
"It's time to go back."
He turned and left, his back casting a long shadow in the firelight.
Early the next morning, in the main hall of the Gu family.
"What? Five Poisons Sect was wiped out last night?"
Gu Lie almost dropped the tea cup in his hand, and did not notice the tea splashing on his robe.
The escort who came to report the news knelt on one knee, his voice trembling.
