Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Whoosh!

Wei Jiang's figure flashed and he actually took the initiative to approach Gu Chen, with the black Qi and Gangqi converging on the surface of his body. He struck out at Gu Chen with a palm.

Seeing this, Gu Chen, unwilling to show weakness, countered with a punch of his own.

At the same time, the head of the Qingfeng Faction clashed with a monstrous ghost, joining forces with Wei Jiang to attack Gu Chen.

Boom!

Upon seeing this, Gu Chen's eyes glinted with icy severity as he fully unleashed the Superior Martial Skill, the Vajra Phantom, a majestic image that seemed to split the earth below, surpass the floating clouds above, swallow the starry sky, and scorn all beings, appeared behind him.

As Gu Chen threw his punch, the mountain-like Vajra Phantom mirrored his movements and simultaneously delivered its own blow.

Vajra's eyes blazed with fury, suppressing demons and pacifying the world!

Boom!

It was as if an earth dragon had overturned, with dense, rolling waves of Qi pervading the air, blasting violently in all directions, as though the punch carried the force to sweep Heaven and Earth, shaking the firmament itself!

Gu Chen's punch was filled with an unstoppable and fierce intent to split any obstacle, and in that moment, his whole body shone with a dazzling golden light, as if a war god from the heavens had descended to the mortal world!

"Puh!"

The weakest in strength among those in the battle, the head of the Qingfeng Faction could no longer withstand it. He was sent flying backward, blood spewing uncontrollably from his mouth.

Swish!

Gu Chen acted swiftly, flashing forward like a flickering light, rapidly appearing in front of the Qingfeng Faction leader who was sent flying, and thrusting the Blood Shadow Sword straight ahead.

"Puh!"

Like slicing through tofu, even with Gangqi protecting the body, the leader of the Qingfeng Faction couldn't withstand the divine weapon's sharpness. Gu Chen's sword pierced directly through the leader's heart in one fluid motion.

"Ah..."

The Qingfeng Faction leader cried out in agony. At that moment, blood flowed from all his orifices and his body shuddered uncontrollably as the sharp sword intent of the Blood Shadow Sword instantly shattered all his internal organs.

"Gu Chen, you little bastard, die!" Stay updated with empire

Seeing Gu Chen killing the Qingfeng Faction leader, Wei Jiang burst into a rage. The power of the monstrous ghost conglomerated into a suit of armor around him, and he, along with another diabolic ghost, charged towards Gu Chen shrouded in billowing black Qi.

"Roar!"

The sounds of a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl shook heaven and earth. A real dragon and a white tiger roared forth, and at the same time, Gu Chen pushed the Superior Martial Skill, Vajra Phantom, to its utmost limit. He clenched a fist and struck horizontally!

Boom!

With a thunderous blast echoing through the void, Gu Chen delivered a punch that combined all his vigor, Wei Jiang's body quivered, and the armor formed by the ghost's power on his body crackled with spreading fissures.

Hisss!

A stunning sword light suddenly appeared, with Gu Chen wielding the Blood Shadow Sword, he launched a fierce slash at Wei Jiang's chest.

"Puchi!"

The Blood Shadow Sword tore across Wei Jiang's chest, and with his cry of agony, dark blood sprayed several feet into the air, revealing a terrifying wound on his chest that parted flesh and bone, spilling blood wildly and even exposing his internal organs and rib cage.

With that strike, Gu Chen almost cleaved Wei Jiang in two.

But then, something strange happened—in the presence of the ghost's power, a wound that would have surely been fatal to a mortal began to heal slowly under the spread of black Qi.

Countless black Qi emerged from Wei Jiang's wound, stitching it together like needle and thread, and within a short time, the wound was drawn closed.

Such a severe injury, although not enough for the ghost to help Wei Jiang recover immediately, still demonstrated the terrifying aspect of the ghost's power—an ability akin to an undying body.

At this moment, Wei Jiang's face was filled with malice, his blood-spattered features looking ghastly as he yelled at Gu Chen, "See? This is the power of ghosts. Having merged with a ghost, I've gained immortality, an undying body!"

In response to Wei Jiang's words, Gu Chen retorted with just two words.

"Ridiculous!"

Then, with a "bang", Gu Chen's palm slammed into Wei Jiang's chest, the power from the heart of his palm surging forth, aiming to shatter Wei Jiang's heart directly.

Powered by the ghost, Wei Jiang was indeed difficult to deal with, particularly as the ghost within him was on the brink of advancing to the mid-phase of its monstrous level, possessing an extremely strong recovery ability.

Compared to the previous faultless, Wei Jiang might have been weaker in pure strength but was much more troublesome.

Moreover, if early-stage diabolic ghosts were already this formidable, what about mid-phase, late-phase, and the ghosts beyond the diabolic level?

With this thought, Gu Chen regarded ghosts as a great enemy to the Human Clan of Jiuzhou, and now the Demon Sect wielded the means to subjugate ghosts, making their strength unfathomably deep!

"Die!"

With a soft shout, Gu Chen thrust the Blood Shadow Sword forcefully towards Wei Jiang's chest.

Wei Jiang's pupils contracted as he flashed backwards, retreating through the air, while the diabolic ghost surged forward once again.

Gu Chen, seeing this, chose not to pursue Wei Jiang. His inner breath surged within, the crimson blade of the Blood Shadow Sword glowed blindingly bright, and a fiercely sharp Sword Qi erupted, instantly disintegrating the diabolic ghost.

Whoosh!

Realizing the might of the divine weapon, Wei Jiang turned and fled, aware that he was no longer a match for Gu Chen.

In just a matter of months, Gu Chen had grown to a height that required Wei Jiang to look up to him.

The current Gu Chen was no longer the common martial artist from Xu'an County who could be snuffed out with a flip of the hand. Armed with a divine weapon, Gu Chen now possessed the capacity to slay him, no weaker than Chen Yu, and in some respects, even stronger!

"I cannot die!"

Wei Jiang roared inwardly, unwilling to die just like this. He hadn't yet achieved the status of a True Being, he hadn't enjoyed the taste of glory, wealth, or supreme power. He couldn't die, he didn't want to die!

He knew that, even with the assistance of the ghost within him, he still couldn't stand against Gu Chen. Not because Gu Chen's strength was superior, but because the divine weapon's power was too overwhelming!

Seeing Wei Jiang trying to escape again, Gu Chen's expression was cold. The muscles and bones in his body resonated in unison as he gathered up 800,000 pounds of strength, channeling all his martial prowess into the Blood Shadow Sword he held in his hands.

"Die!"

In that instant, a blazing light appeared, cleaving through the heavens and earth. The Blood Shadow Sword turned into a ray of divine brilliance, piercing the void with a surge of overwhelming sword intent, cutting through Wei Jiang's chest, and pulverizing both him and the ghost within him into powder!

After slaying Wei Jiang, Gu Chen's inner breath was nearly exhausted. He breathed heavily, propping up his weary body, gathered all the soul crystals scattered on the ground, and absorbed them right on the spot.

Looking at the replenished energy points on his panel, a smile crept onto Gu Chen's face. This time, he was certain to reach the limit of his physical body, achieving the indestructible Vajra!
