"Judging from the aura, it is at least a fifth-grade elixir, which will be of great help to your breakthrough Fifth Layer of Body Tempering."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed. Fifth Layer of Body Tempering is a watershed. Once broken through, the physical strength will undergo a qualitative change.
He no longer hesitated and jumped up, ready to pick the spiritual grass.
The moment his toes just left the ground, a deafening Ape's Roar suddenly sounded!
"Roar——"
Gu Sheng felt a warning sign in his heart and forcibly twisted his body in mid-air. I saw a huge black shadow flying down from the stone wall of the mountain stream, carrying a fierce wind and coming straight towards me!
"Bang!"
Gu Sheng hurriedly punched each other, and the two huge forces collided with each other, making a deafening explosion.
Gu Sheng felt his arms go numb for a while, and his whole body was so shocked that he took several steps back, each step leaving deep footprints on the hard rock.
After the black shadow landed, it revealed its true appearance—Giant Ape, which was three people tall! The hair on its body stood up like steel needles, its scarlet eyes were full of murderous intent, and the muscles on its thick arms were knotted, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Guardian Spirit Beast?"
Gu Sheng's eyes were solemn. The strength of this Giant Ape is at least equivalent to that of a human Sixth Layer of Body Tempering warrior, and monsters are naturally physically strong, so humans are often no match for them in the same realm.
Gu Sheng The golden light flashed between his eyebrows, and the spiritual power in the sea of consciousness condensed into an invisible spike.
"God Slaying Thorn!"
He shouted in his heart, and a translucent ripple shot out from between his eyebrows, hitting Giant Ape's head three feet away.
The Giant Ape was two feet tall, with black hair standing on end like steel needles. It was beating its chest and roaring loudly.
When God Slaying Thorn disappeared into the center of his eyebrows, Giant Ape's movements suddenly stopped, and his bell-like eyes were momentarily confused.
"Good opportunity!"
Gu Sheng pointed his toes to the ground, and his figure was like lightning as he appeared behind Giant Ape.
The Severing Wind Ancient Sword in his hand glowed with cyan sword light, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
"Pfft——"
The sound of the sword blade entering flesh was heard, Giant Ape's huge head was thrown high, and Black Blood gushes out like a spring.
The huge body shook twice and fell to the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
"Hoo"
Gu Sheng took a long breath, his chest rising and falling slightly. The power of suppression in this secret realm was indeed powerful, suppressing his Ninth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm strength to Spirit Martial Peak, and even his physical strength dropped from Sixth Layer of Body Tempering to the peak of the third heaven.
But the rewards are also huge.
Gu Sheng With a thought in his mind, the shadow of Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron appeared on his chest, and nine golden dragon patterns wandered around Ding's body.
A golden light shot out, covering Giant Ape's corpse, and put it into the space within the cauldron in the blink of an eye.
"This Giant Ape is rich in essence and blood and has hard bones. It is a good material for refining elixirs and weapons."
Gu Sheng said to himself, turning his gaze to the green spiritual grass on the stone platform.
The spirit grass is green all over, with natural silver lines on its leaves, exuding a light fragrance.
Gu Sheng carefully took it off, sat cross-legged, and began to refine the technique.
Nine Dragon Universe Cauldron was suspended above his head, with strands of golden aura hanging down to assist the refining process.
Two hours later, a series of sounds like exploding beans suddenly came from Gu Sheng's body, and his muscles and bones underwent qualitative changes under the power of the spiritual herbs.
"Fifth Layer of Body Tempering!"
Gu Sheng Open your eyes.
He clenched his fist and felt the power surging within his body. Although the suppression in the secret realm is still there, the improvement brought about by the physical breakthrough is real.
His five senses and six senses became extremely sharp, and he could even hear the sound of ants crawling a hundred feet away. The body is as light as a swallow, and it has become much more accustomed to the suppressive power everywhere in the secret realm.
At this moment, a faint sound of conversation floated in the wind.
"Master Shen said that whoever takes Gu Sheng's head will be rewarded with a thousand spiritual stones."
". Compass shows nearby"
"Be careful, that guy is not easy to deal with."
Gu Sheng's eyes turned cold.
Shen Qingyun! Sure enough, they were the pursuers he sent. It seems that during the last fight, the opponent took advantage of his unpreparedness to collect a ray of energy, and now uses a special compass to track it.
He gathered his aura, stayed close to the mountain wall like a ghost, and quietly approached the source of the sound.
Turning around a rock wall, I saw a dozen warriors in different costumes walking in groups. The leader was holding a bronze compass, with a familiar qi floating on it - it belonged to Gu Sheng.
"Temporary alliance?"
Gu Sheng A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He flashed and sneaked behind the last warrior in the team like a ghost.
"Hmm"
The warrior felt a chill in his chest and looked down to see a blood-stained sword tip showing through.
He wanted to shout, but his mouth was covered by an iron-like hand, and his whole body was dragged behind the boulder. The whole process was incredibly fast, and it didn't even take a breath.
Gu Sheng put the body down gently and locked his eyes on the next target. It wasn't until the third warrior fell silently that anyone noticed anything unusual.
"Where's Lao Liu? Why is he missing?"
"Brother Zhang is missing too!"
The team suddenly became commotion, and the remaining people quickly formed a formation, surrounding the compass holder in the middle, and looked around warily.
"Come out! What a good guy if you are sneaky!"
A bearded man shouted sternly, the long knife in his hand flashing with cold light.
Gu Sheng no longer hid, walked out of the shadows, Severing Wind Ancient Sword pointed diagonally at the ground. "
Shen Qingyun sent you to die? "
"It's Gu Sheng! Kill him!"
shouted the Compass Bearer.
Gu Sheng stopped talking nonsense, swayed, and cast "Light Shadow Splitting Sword". In an instant, nine phantoms separated from him and rushed towards the crowd from different directions.
"Careful! Don't be fooled!"
The warriors shouted, each using their martial arts skills to attack the shadow.
"Boom boom boom"
Nine phantoms exploded one after another, but they were all illusions. The real Gu Sheng has used the chaos to sneak into the depths of the encirclement.
"Pfft——"
Severing Wind Ancient Sword is like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, accurately piercing the throat of the compass holder.
"Uh"
The man's eyes widened, a gurgling sound came from his throat, and the compass in his hand clattered to the ground. Only then did everyone realize that they had been tricked and turned around in a hurry.
Gu Sheng drew his sword and turned around. The blood dripping from the sword tip glowed with a strange red light in the sunlight.
"Now, it's your turn."
The remaining warriors were frightened and angry, and rushed towards him with weapons.
Gu Sheng's body shape is like electricity, and Fifth Layer of Body Tempering's physical advantages are fully exposed.
He avoided a warrior's horizontal slash and slashed the opponent's lower abdomen with his backhand sword. At the same time, he bent his elbow and struck hard, denting the other person's sternum. He jumped up on his toes and used the ancient sword from top to bottom to pierce the third person's Tianling Gai.
The fighting lasted less than half a quarter of an hour, and more than ten people were already lying on the ground. The last three warriors turned pale, and one of them turned around and ran away.
"Want to leave?"
Gu Sheng sneered, picked up a stone and threw it.
"Ah!"
The man's knees were struck and he fell to the ground wailing.
The remaining two people looked at each other and suddenly ran away in opposite directions.
Gu Sheng did not pursue, but walked to the body of the compass holder and picked up the compass that was still rotating slightly.
The compass needle pointed directly at himself, obviously locking the energy in his body.
"Hmph!"
Gu Sheng used five fingers to crush the compass into pieces.
After confirming that there were no more pursuing soldiers around, Gu Sheng walked towards the depths of the mountain stream. At this time, the childish voice of Innate Spirit Embryo came from the sea of consciousness.
"Master, there is a stronger aura of heavenly materials and earthly treasures three miles east, which is more than ten times stronger than the green grass just now!"
Gu Sheng's eyes lit up.
"Lead the way."
He used the Shrinking Ground into Inches technique and galloped away in the direction guided by the spiritual fetus. Along the way, the sky in the secret realm showed a strange dark red color, the spiritual energy in the air became more and more intense, and the sounds of fighting and the roars of monster beasts could be heard from time to time in the distance.
Walking to the entrance of a canyon, Gu Sheng suddenly stopped.
"There are formation fluctuations."
He observed carefully and found incomplete ancient runes carved on the ground, vaguely forming a maze.
"Ancient Demon Race's formation"
Gu Sheng frowned and thought about how to crack it. Just when he was looking for the formation, a sharp sound broke through the air suddenly from behind!
Instinctively, Gu Sheng dodged sideways, and a Poison-Tipped Dart flew past his face and nailed into the stone wall beside him.
The black liquid on the concealed weapon ignited when it touched the stone, emitting billowing poisonous smoke.
Gu Sheng and Spirit Embryo Incarnation were mixed in the crowd, and their aura was the same as that of the surrounding warriors.
His eyes locked on the tall and thin man holding a bronze compass - that was the center of the tracking team, and the pointer on the compass was flashing a strange red light.
"Strange, why is the breath dispersed again?"
The tall and thin man frowned and fiddled with the compass, and suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
Spirit Embryo Incarnation's sword edge had cut across his throat, and the blood line drew a sad arc in the air.
The compass fell to the ground, the pointer spun wildly, and finally cracked into two pieces.
"It's a scam!"
As soon as the bearded man nearest roared, his throat was pierced by the sword energy.
The real killing move comes now.
Gu Sheng himself emerged from the shadow of the rock wall, with his hands in seals like butterflies piercing flowers, and the true energy in his body surged according to the special route of "Nirvana Sutra".
"Nirvana Three Profound Transformations——The first change!"
Golden lines instantly covered his cheeks, and his breath surged three times. The iron sword at his waist made a dragon roar when it was unsheathed, and the true energy condensed on the sword's edge turned into a three-foot-long dazzling golden light.
"Heaven Breaking Sword Art·Sweep thousands of armies!"
The golden light spread like a wave, and the seven warriors in the front row were cut off at the waist before they could even complete the blocking action.
Severed limbs and internal organs were splashed on the rock wall. The pupils of everyone behind them shrank suddenly, and some even forgot to breathe.
Gu Sheng turned around to change his moves, and his sword energy changed from sweeping to diagonal. Five heads rose into the sky, one of which still maintained a horrified expression.
When the third sword energy split the fine iron shields of the three shield warriors, someone finally collapsed and screamed.
"It's Profound Tier Martial Skill! Run!"
But it's too late.
Gu Sheng The power of the sword was like a violent storm. Wherever the golden sword energy passed, rocks shattered and trees were broken. More than twenty corpses lay across the mountain stream, and thick blood pooled in thin streams between the rocks.
"Cough"
Gu Sheng suddenly knelt down on one knee, inserting the iron sword into the ground to support his body. Nirvana Three Profound Transformations's backlash came fiercely, and the Dantian was like a deep well that had been hollowed out.
He quickly hid in the crevice of the rock, took out the sapphire bottle tremblingly, raised his head and swallowed three Qi Replenishing Pill.
The elixir entered the abdomen and turned into a warm current, but the recovery speed was far slower than expected.
"Spirit Martial Realm's meridians are still too fragile."
Gu Sheng smiled bitterly, and suddenly there was the sound of gravel rolling down his ears.
"Here!"
The young warrior with freckles pointed at the crack in the rock, his voice changing with excitement.
"He's exhausted!"
More than thirty people surrounded him from all directions, their swords reflecting cold light. The scarred-faced man in the lead licked the blade of the knife and grinned.
"Young Master Gu is so majestic, why do you look like a dead dog now?"
Gu Sheng slowly raised his head, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curved in a strange way.
"You might as well look behind you."
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Just as the scar-faced man sneered, a creepy burning sensation suddenly erupted from his back.
Spirit Embryo Incarnation didn't know when he was standing on the retreat path, with golden flames burning all over his body. The same handprint, the same sword technique, but this time the sword light had a strange red color.
"Nirvana Three Profound Transformations·Setting Sun Like Blood!"
The sword energy is no longer pure gold, but like molten iron.
The three people closest to them were instantly vaporized without even screaming. Wherever the aftermath swept through, the rocks melted into a red slurry that would kill anyone who touched it.
"It's a clone! He still has a clone."
The speaker's chest was penetrated by a sword energy, and his body flew upside down and smashed into three rocks.
The survivors were heartbroken, and some even dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Spirit Embryo Incarnation showed no mercy, and his sword moves were as precise as a death scythe. When the thirteenth person fell, someone finally discovered the clue.
"The clone's movement has slowed down!"
Indeed, the flame of Spirit Embryo Incarnation is waning.
Gu Sheng's body suddenly exploded, Qi Replenishing Pill had recovered 30% of his true energy, and the iron sword brought up seven cyan whirlwinds.
"Gale Seven Kill Sword!"
The escaping warriors were caught in the whirlwind one after another, and the sight of the sword energy crushing their limbs was disgusting.
As soon as a short man climbed up the rock, a flying sword scabbard penetrated his back.
The last female warrior retreated to the edge of the waterfall and raised her short bow tremblingly.
"My brother is still here."
Gu Sheng The sword light flashed, and the bowstring and throat broke at the same time. When the female warrior fell into the deep pool, she heard a cold voice coming from above.
"Now that you are in a killing situation, you should have the will to die."
After tea time, the mountain stream returned to silence.
Gu Sheng shook off the blood beads on the sword, and suddenly his pupils shrank - the blood flowing from all the corpses was moving strangely in the same direction.
"Wonderful."
Applause came from the forest, Shen Qingyun walked over a pool of blood, the six-foot-long knife on his waist exuding a biting chill even before it was unsheathed.
"With his Spirit Martial Realm cultivation, he killed forty-nine people in a row. Brother Gu is worthy of being a person who can escape from my Shen Family siege."
Gu Sheng The tip of the sword hangs to the ground. It seems to be relaxed, but in fact, there is an undercurrent of true energy.
"Master Shen came to collect the body in person?"
"Collect the corpse?"
Shen Qingyun chuckled, and the moment he pressed his right hand on the handle of the knife, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.
"I'm here to catch you, the fish that slipped through the net."
He suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"It's strange, there are two channels of true energy circulating in your body?"
Gu Sheng felt shocked.
This is the biggest secret of "Nirvana Sutra". Spirit Embryo Incarnation is not an ordinary clone, but the second source of true energy cultivated by dividing the Dantian into two. The surface remains calm.
"Shen Family Intelligence Network also made omissions?"
"It doesn't matter."
Shen Qingyun The long knife slowly unsheathed, and the blade was as transparent as ice crystals.
"You have all kinds of means, today."
The blade suddenly reflected the sunlight, and his final sentence came out in the dazzling white light.
"Death is certain!"
Before the sword energy arrived, Gu Sheng's left shoulder exploded with blood.
He retreated in horror and found that Shen Qingyun was still standing ten feet away, but the attack seemed to have traveled through space.
"Heavenly Martial Realm's 'power'? No, the secret realm clearly suppresses the cultivation."
"Gu Sheng, today I will let you know the difference between ants and True Dragon!"
Shen Qingyun The corner of his mouth curved cruelly.
