Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 328 Confrontation in the Holy Land - Walking Under the Sky_1

```

Hiss!

In the void, two fleeting sword beams briefly appeared. If an ordinary person were to lock eyes with Yuwen Wind, just that glance would be enough to render them blind.

It must be said that Yuwen Wind was truly ruthless in his actions, showing no concern for others and more often than not, injuring people carelessly.

Gu Chen stood clad in dark attire, his body tall and slender, his skin pale and smooth like jade. His eyes, deep and dark as ink, remained unwavering like a mountain as he faced Yuwen Wind's probe without being affected in the slightest.

The atmosphere between the two was incredibly tense. Their encounter this time was doomed to have an unpleasant ending. Clearly, Yuwen Wind recognized Gu Chen.

Many people were passing by in search of opportunities, and upon witnessing Gu Chen confronting Yuwen Wind, they were immediately taken aback and watched the scene with unblinking eyes.

Yuwen Wind, with a long sword on his back, had a tall and strong body exuding an extremely sharp aura, like an unsheathed divine sword that seemed as though it could pierce the heavens.

As one of the esteemed figures of the Six Great Sacred Lands, he could be named as the strongest prodigy of the Nine Provinces today. Ranking just below those innate beings, he was a mountain in the hearts of those martial artists aspiring to reach the Celestial realm.

Since entering the Spirit realm, only the other esteemed figures from the remaining Five Great Sacred Lands and Lin Bai had been able to vie with him for supremacy.

The rest, including Beidou Sect's Lu Xing, Qinglong Valley's Bu Nantian, and Shenxiao Sect's Xue Jingyun—famous martial arts masters in the East Province—were not his match.

Hiss!

Seeing that Gu Chen could withstand his probe, Yuwen Wind's brow raised slightly and he extended a finger, lightly pointing through the air. Immediately, a semi-transparent sword energy whizzed through the void, rapidly attacking close to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen maintained a steady aura, standing tall as a mountain. Faced with Yuwen Wind's casual strike, he extended two slender, pale fingers, pinched lightly as if with the mythical Dragon Snip, and instantly the semi-transparent sword energy was torn apart.

"Eh?"

Upon seeing this, the distinguished figure from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Yuwen Wind, showed a hint of surprise on his handsome face, clearly he was somewhat taken aback.

Although that was only a casual strike from him, it was not something that just anyone could handle. Ninety percent of the martial artists at the Spirit realm level would have been injured by Yuwen Wind's attack.

This was the formidable strength of the esteemed figure of the Six Great Sacred Lands!

However, what Yuwen Wind had not expected was that his casual strike was so easily intercepted by Gu Chen.

"Look, Da Xia's Prince of Martial Peace, Gu Chen, is confronting the distinguished figure of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, Yuwen Wind!"

Seeing the two exchange blows and Gu Chen effortlessly resolving Yuwen Wind's attack, the surrounding martial artists watched on with even greater tension.

Nowadays, among the local martial artists of the Nine Provinces, only Lin Bai could contend with the esteemed figures of the Six Great Sacred Lands; many people proclaimed Lin Bai as the number one martial arts prodigy in the Nine Provinces.

But now, seeing Gu Chen's composure, it seemed that his strength was also quite extraordinary.

"Could it be that Da Xia's Prince of Martial Peace also possesses the strength to contend with the most outstanding descendants of the Sacred Lands?" A martial artist muttered in shock.

"As to how it will turn out, we will know by continuing to watch," another martial artist said in a deep voice.

Yuwen Wind, bearing his long sword, had now recovered his composure. Expressionless, he looked at Gu Chen and declared, "Three moves, to kill you!"

Such arrogant words, but to the watching crowd, they did not seem boastful, and were even deemed as a matter of course.

No other reason but that the speaker was Yuwen Wind.

As the distinguished figure from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, one of the Six Great Sacred Lands, just the reputation alone was enough to attest to everything!

Gu Chen was not irritated by Yuwen Wind's bold claim; he replied indifferently, "You may well give it a try."

Seeing Gu Chen's unbothered demeanor, he clearly didn't take Yuwen Wind's challenge to heart. In the world, how many dared to disregard the most outstanding descendant of the Sacred Lands with such contempt?

Not even the other five distinguished figures of the Sacred Lands had ever done so!

"How audacious, is this the man known as the 'Butcher of Yan State' in the martial circles, Gu Chen?" A martial artist exclaimed, eyes wide.

Yuwen Wind heard this, but far from being enraged, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Interesting, I hope your strength is as formidable as your mouth."

Clang!

The next moment, an incredibly dazzling sword light suddenly appeared in the world, causing all the watching martial artists to instinctively close their eyes, shouting out in surprise.

Many, for reacting just a fraction slower, found blood streaming from their eyes, almost rendering them blind.

The sword light was so luminous it illuminated the void with brilliance, as countless sword auras, densely packed, arranged themselves in mid-air.

Soul Shocking Sword Art!

The same sword art in Yuwen Wind's hands was much more powerful than when performed by Chen Luo. They were not even in the same league—one was of the earth, the other of the heavens.

The sword energy in the sky, carrying within it an incomparably sharp sword intent, the Soul Shocking Sword Art aimed to cut through both flesh and spirit!

"The first move."

With Yuwen Wind's indifferent voice, suddenly, the sword energies fell like meteors, piercing towards Gu Chen on the ground. Everything along their path was torn asunder, and the earth cracked, continuously spreading outwards as if it was about to split apart.

Yuwen Wind truly lived up to his status as the distinguished figure of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect. This move was such that, not only within the Spirit realm but across the Nine Provinces, including the veteran martial arts masters, there were few below the Celestial realm who could withstand it.

Gu Chen's expression remained calm, his face neither happy nor sad, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Facing the overwhelming and fierce sword energy, he too deployed a sword martial technique to fend off his opponent.

```

It was indeed the innate Pure Yang Sword Aura!

With a clang, the sword's cry shook the heavens, and without any visible action from Gu Chen, at this moment, his pores released bursts of brilliant light, with stream after stream of masculine sword qi bursting forth. They collided with the sword qi sent by Yuwen Wind in midair.

Hiss!

Countless sword beams burst forth, leaving dense scratches between heaven and earth, nearly severing it in two. Even the ground was riddled with holes, densely packed like a sieve.

"He's blocked it!" a group of martial artists watched intently at this scene.

"No, it's not over yet!" A slightly stronger martial artist, with sharp eyes, saw what was coming next. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

The innate Pure Yang Sword Aura was an Earthly Martial Skill, and although the Shocking Soul Sword Technique from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect of the six sacred lands was quite extraordinary, it still could not compare with Earthly Martial Skills.

At this moment, the masculine sword qi gushing from Gu Chen's pores, after shattering the sword qi of the Shocking Soul Sword Technique, continued on its path undiminished. It whizzed through the void, aiming at Yuwen Wind.

"Earthly Martial Skills?"

Yuwen Wind's pupils constricted in shock. With his keen eyesight, it was not difficult to see that Gu Chen had broken his Shocking Soul Sword Technique with an Earthly Martial Skill.

"Bring out your second move," Gu Chen's voice reached Yuwen Wind's ears, causing his expression to darken.

What both Yuwen Wind and everyone present had not anticipated was that Gu Chen had turned the tables!

Clang!

Yuwen Wind, filled with anger, surged with true qi within his body. With a step forward, his formidable qi soared toward the sky. A wave of overwhelming energy centered on him, and the sword qi released by Gu Chen was utterly shattered.

"There's still a third move," Gu Chen's voice, still without the slightest ripple, came once more.

At this moment, Yuwen Wind's face looked very unsightly. He recognized the difficulty that Gu Chen presented; therefore, he reached out, grasped the hilt of the longsword behind him, and suddenly delivered a fierce strike.

"Yuwen Wind has drawn his sword!" Seeing this, the gathered martial arts grandmasters were all shocked, running away as if fleeing a disaster.

Since entering the realm of spirits, Yuwen Wind had never used his own weapon. As a Sword repairer, his weapon was essentially his life. With a sword and without, there was a world of difference.

All the more so because the longsword on his back was a superior grade divine weapon!

Clang!

The sword's cry echoed through heaven and earth, and a beam of sword light spanned the divide, nearly splitting the very world in two. The qi was so sharp that everything within dozens of feet was instantly sliced to dust by the numerous sword streams.

Even the earth itself bore a deep, bottomless crack, extending far and wide.

This sword strike was terrifying indeed. The power of the superior grade divine weapon combined with Yuwen Wind's cultivation level meant there was nothing under heaven it couldn't cut, its piercing sword qi able to slice through all tangible matter!

Boom!

The dazzling sword light split the heavens and the earth, and now, the crowd could see nothing; they had moved far enough away, but they still felt a stinging pain on their skin, even drawing beads of blood from their pores.

"Too terrifying," everyone had faces filled with fear at this sight.

With such an attack, below the innate level without a superior grade divine weapon in hand, how many could stand against it?

Even among the observing grandmasters of martial arts, Yuwen Wind's strike with the help of the superior grade divine weapon was considered no less than a blow from a master who had just entered the innate level of martial arts!

It was as though it carried the overwhelming might of heaven and earth—this sword was too startling, and everyone felt that Gu Chen must undoubtedly die under this strike.

Meanwhile, at the center of the battlefield, after unleashing that sword strike, Yuwen Wind stood with his hands behind him, looking calm. The superior grade divine weapon had already returned to its scabbard.

Superior grade divine weapons, even within the six sacred lands were quite scarce and not numerous. Only their most outstanding disciples and some elders had the privilege of wielding them.

And as for the entire Da Xia, superior grade divine weapons were even rarer, hard to come by.

"I said I'd slay you in three moves, and I will slay you in three," Yuwen Wind of the Vault of Sky Sword Sect spoke indifferently, obviously not taking Gu Chen seriously and believing his death was certain.

After all, facing this sword strike, even the wandering experts from the other five sacred lands would have to take out superior grade divine weapons to defend, and they would not be able to gain the slightest advantage.

Not far away, dust filled the air, reaching high into the sky, and the ground showed a terrifying gash approximately a foot wide, nearly splitting sixty to seventy feet of land in two.

"The Marquis of Wu'an from Da Xia was considered a prodigy of his generation; who would have thought he would die at the hands of a sacred land's successor," a martial artist sighed.

"Such is the might of the six sacred lands, high above all, suppressing Da Xia for tens of thousands of years with no one to rival them. When their successors emerge, they can be called the number one in the world," another grandmaster of martial arts said dejectedly.

"Although Gu Chen has extraordinary talent, compared with these sacred land successors, he is still lacking. Moreover, with a superior grade divine weapon in the opponent's hand, what does he have to compete against him?" All the watching martial artists sighed.

However, just as everyone thought Gu Chen was undoubtedly dead, not even a trace of him left, and Yuwen Wind was about to turn away and leave, suddenly, a figure abruptly appeared behind Yuwen Wind, the roaming expert from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect.

"How is this possible?! You're actually not dead?"

Seeing Gu Chen suddenly appear, even Yuwen Wind could no longer maintain his composure; for a moment, he changed color.

"Sacred land's successor? That's all you've got!"

With a light shout, Gu Chen's physique nimble like an Ancient Savage Dragon, he swung his fist that shone as bright as a little sun, and launched a ferocious attack towards Yuwen Wind's face!
