Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1475

Chapter 1475: Chapter 760: Is This Color Poisoned? (Part 2)

"Why be so overbearing, fellow cultivator?"

Gu Sheng’s voice was calm.

"This valley is rich in Spiritual Energy, enough for both of us to cultivate. Would it not be better if we take what we need and do not disturb each other?"

"Noisy!"

The woman’s eyes flashed with a cold light. Her right hand formed into a blade with her fingers, and a jet-black Blade Aura swiftly slashed out, tearing through the air with a piercing sound.

Gu Sheng slightly shifted his body, the Blade Aura brushing past his clothing, leaving a scar a foot deep on the rock wall ten paces behind him.

The killing intent in his eyes flashed and disappeared, as a golden light flickered in his left sleeve.

"Since fellow cultivator insists on this..."

Gu Sheng sighed, suddenly stepping forward, his whole being shooting up like an arrow released from a bow.

"Courting death!"

The woman shouted sharply, waving both hands, and three Blade Auras more solid than before formed a pin-shaped blockade, cutting off all of Gu Sheng’s retreat paths.

At this moment, the Nine Great Cave Heavens within Gu Sheng’s body fully opened, his True Qi surging out like a volcanic eruption.

He performed a Sealing with both hands, and in front of him, nine blood-red Divine Flame Qi Swords instantly took shape.

"Beichen Immortal Slaying Sword!"

With Gu Sheng’s low shout, the nine Qi Swords divided into three groups, three in each group, accurately confronting the three Blade Auras.

The moment the sword aura collided with the blade light, a thunderous roar erupted in the valley.

The woman’s previously disdainful sneer froze on her face.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, looking in disbelief as her Blade Auras were forcibly shattered by those seemingly ordinary Qi Swords, which then turned and came to strangle her.

"How is this possible?!"

The woman exclaimed, hurriedly waving out several more Blade Auras to intercept, while her figure retreated rapidly.

As Gu Sheng landed, he leapt up again, his left arm glowing with golden light.

A golden vine as thick as a bowl shot out from his sleeve, growing in the wind, instantly transforming into dozens of ferocious vines hundreds of feet long, each covered in dark red thorns and exuding a terrifyingly fierce aura.

"Heavenly Demon Vine, go!"

Seeing this, the woman’s face changed greatly, a black-purple longsword suddenly appearing in her hand.

As the blade emerged, the surrounding Spiritual Energy instantly became chaotic, with faint purple lightning flickering along the blade edge.

"Sect Realm Divine Weapon ’Purple Evil’?"

Gu Sheng’s eyes focused, his vigilance increasing.

For her to possess such a Treasure, the woman must have an extraordinary background.

"To force me to bring out Purple Evil, you have enough to be proud of!"

The woman coldly shouted, sweeping the longsword horizontally, a massive purple-black Blade Gang howled out, instantly severing the first seven attacking vines.

The severed vine ends spurted dark red liquid, which etched deep pits into the ground.

However, more astonishing was that the severed vines regrew at a speed visible to the naked eye, in the blink of an eye returning to their original state, as more vines shot out from Gu Sheng’s left arm, sweeping towards the woman like a wave.

Cold glimmers flashed in the woman’s eyes as the longsword in her hand gleamed with chilling green light, its tip pointing directly at Gu Sheng’s throat.

She originally thought this was merely an ant she could easily extinguish, but unexpectedly, the opponent had such troublesome means.

"A mere Earth Martial Realm, daring to act presumptuously in front of me!"

The woman coldly shouted, the sword light flashing like a rainbow, immediately severing three attacking vines.

Gu Sheng slightly raised the corner of his mouth, retreating three steps to maintain distance from the woman.

"People from the Heavenly Ghost Sect are indeed overbearing. However, who will live and who will die today is still unknown."

"Arrogant!"

The woman was so furious that she laughed, suddenly increasing the speed of her sword momentum, the green Sword Qi crisscrossing, cutting down all the surrounding vines.

However, what was more shocking was that those severed vines squirmed like living creatures upon hitting the ground, quickly sprouting new branches from the cut ends and regenerating more vines in the blink of an eye.

The vines, originally just dozens in number, quickly increased to over a hundred, densely surrounding the woman.

"This is... Heavenly Demon Vine?"

The woman’s pupils slightly contracted, finally recognizing this legendary fierce creature.

She was secretly alarmed, yet did not dare to pause her sword moves.

"You can actually control such an evil thing!"

Gu Sheng did not answer, focusing entirely on controlling the attack of the Heavenly Demon Vine.

He knew well that facing a Heavenly Martial Realm expert, any distraction would lead to disaster.

The vines surged like a tide, while the woman’s sword light flashed like lightning, slicing several vines in one strike.

Gu Sheng was also taken aback but quickly regained his composure.

"The toxin of the Heavenly Demon Vine?"

He saw that the vine around the woman’s ankle was seeping a black liquid through the thorns into her body.

The woman’s originally fair skin took on a strange bluish-black hue before his eyes.

"No... this is..."

Her voice started to tremble as she felt a strange poison spreading within her, stagnating her True Qi and clogging her meridians.

Sensing the weakening life force of its prey, the Heavenly Demon Vine attacked like a shark smelling blood, with hundreds of vines wrapping around the woman tightly.

The sound of thorns piercing flesh echoed endlessly, and the woman let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"Stop! I’m the granddaughter of the Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Ghost Sect! If you kill me, your sect will be annihilated!"

She struggled to call out, her voice filled with unprecedented fear.

Gu Sheng let out a cold laugh.

"When you wanted to kill me earlier, you didn’t think of showing mercy."

"I... I can give you Treasure... Cultivation Techniques... anything..."

Her voice weakened, and her skin visibly shriveled.

The Heavenly Demon Vine greedily absorbed the life force of the Heavenly Martial expert, the surface of the vines glowing with an eerie red light.

In just a few breaths, the living expert of the Heavenly Martial Realm was reduced to a pitch-black corpse.

With a "thud," the corpse fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Gu Sheng approached to inspect, frowning slightly.

"This color... is it poison?"

He crouched down, using the tip of his sword to probe the remains, discovering that not only was the exterior pitch-black, but even the bones were inky.

"It seems the Heavenly Demon Vine has gained toxicity after its evolution, and... it might even be able to break a Martial Artist’s Secret Technique?"

Gu Sheng gazed thoughtfully at the Heavenly Demon Vine coiled around his arm, recalling how it had previously devoured those Martial Artists from the Five Poison Divine Sect.

"Could it be because it absorbed too many from those practicing Poison Techniques?"

The Heavenly Demon Vine seemed to sense its owner’s attention and rubbed against his wrist ingratiatingly, showing no trace of its earlier ferocity.
