Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 501 - 377: Xiahou Longyuan_2

"Do you even know where you are? The Xiahou Clan is the foremost clan in the world. To bully the Xiahou Clan like this, do you really think the Xiahou Clan is without capable people?!"

"If you leave now, it’s still not too late; otherwise, whether you’re Marquis Wu’an of the Great Xia or some other executioner, your life won’t be spared!"

Seeing Gu Chen’s pale face, obviously having suffered under Xiahou Longyuan’s hands, the martial artists of the Xiahou Clan immediately began to mock him.

Xiahou Yuan’s voice became even more stern, "Gu Chen, put down my son now, and leave quickly while you still can, otherwise, when my father’s wrath is stirred, you will undoubtedly die!"

"Lord Gu!" In this moment, everyone from Youzhou who had followed Gu Chen turned pale with shock.

But, in the next instant, Gu Chen’s closed eyes suddenly shot open. His gaze was like torches, and two blazing beams of light flashed past his pupils, dazzlingly bright. Gu Chen’s hair stirred without any wind, showing that he had actually withstood Xiahou Longyuan’s divine consciousness attack!

"You..."

Seeing this, the martial artists of the Xiahou Clan were shocked. It was divine consciousness they were dealing with—among the top grandmasters of the Jing Tian Department, a mere thought of divine consciousness could kill someone in the innate realm as easily as slaughtering a chicken.

After all, divine consciousness is an attack on the spiritual level; it can be said to be impossible to defend against and can kill invisibly. With just a thought, it can erase a grandmaster of the martial arts in the innate realm, which is unspeakably terrifying.

There was a vast chasm between the innate realm and Jing Tian Department, a world of difference. No matter how advanced your cultivation or how strong your physique, it was useless because you couldn’t defend against divine consciousness. A mere thought from a top grandmaster of the Jing Tian Department could destruct a person’s spirit, utterly unrelated to their cultivation or physique.

Only a powerhouse of the same level could withstand it, but Gu Chen was only at the innate realm, and even so young—what merit or ability did he have to withstand a blow from Xiahou Longyuan?

Even if it had fallen from the Jing Tian Department, it was still divine consciousness, not something that a grandmaster of the martial arts in the innate realm could compare with!

"Could it be, this kid has also cultivated divine consciousness?" A shockingly incredible thought emerged in people like Xiahou Yuan’s minds, which scared themselves halfway to death.

If that were the case, it would truly be too terrifying—Gu Chen has not been in the broken boundary of the innate realm for even a year, and if he had already cultivated divine consciousness, the Jing Tian Department would be within easy reach. Explore new worlds at novelbuddy

"Unexpectedly, you actually have a superior divine weapon that can withstand attacks of divine consciousness. Great Xia really does value you!"

At that moment, Xiahou Longyuan’s voice resounded, and waves stirred in the void once again. An invisible force invaded once more, and the attack was a whole lot stronger than the previous one!

Hum!

This time, Gu Chen was prepared. The moment Xiahou Longyuan’s divine consciousness attack arrived, he actively stimulated the jade necklace and circulated the Refining Spirit Secret, perfectly withstanding Xiahou Longyuan’s attack.

"It’s impolite not to reciprocate, take a blow from me as well!"

Taking hits passively wasn’t Gu Chen’s style. His eyes sparkled brilliantly, he circulated the Great Day True Qi within his body that was over a thousand two hundred years old, and with a raise of his hand, he sent out a palm strike. The Heavenly Earth Essence Qi boiled, and a pale golden massive palm print struck towards a certain part of Xiahou Villa.

That was precisely Xiahou Longyuan’s hiding spot!

Following several instances of Xiahou Longyuan taking action, Gu Chen successfully located him.

"Not good!"

At this moment, the Xiahou family, led by Xiahou Yuan, saw Gu Chen’s terrifying strike and their expressions drastically changed.

Boom!

Suddenly, the void vibrated, and the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi congregated. The temperature of the place plummeted rapidly as an ice wall, over a dozen zhang in size and several feet thick, materialized mid-air, blocking Gu Chen’s strike.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Intense heat clashed with bitter cold in mid-air, generating countless water vapors, turning the entire sky white.

Clang!

At the next moment, sword aura overflowed between heaven and earth, and the sound of a sword cry echoed through the air. Gu Chen wielded the Pure Yang Sword Aura, extended a finger, and a pale golden greatsword pierced the void, heading straight for Xiahou Longyuan’s location to strike down.

"Cold Wave Icy Cloud!"

Accompanied by Xiahou Longyuan’s aged yet chilling voice, the cold air between heaven and earth converged, forming a massive fist imprint that struck at the Pure Yang Sword Aura emitted by Gu Chen.

Bang!

The earth trembled as, under the terrifying offensive of the two, the Xiahou family’s manor seemed on the verge of collapse at this moment.

At this moment, everyone from the Xiahou family including Xiahou Yuan was shocked, never expecting Gu Chen to be able to battle to this extent with Xiahou Longyuan, the once deified martial artist.

Just as Gu Chen was about to make another move, Xiahou Longyuan said icily, "If I leave my seclusion, your death is certain. Retreat now, and I can pretend as if nothing happened."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen’s eyebrows raised, and he stopped his arm midway in the air, this time not making another move.

Though Xiahou Longyuan’s words were tough, everyone present could hear that he had conceded, no longer as domineering as before and allowing Gu Chen to let Xiahou Jie go.

"The esteemed rank of a Martial God truly lives up to its reputation," Gu Chen said.

After dropping this remark, Gu Chen, without further ado, turned around with Xiahou Jie in tow and left. The officers of the Jing Tian Department from Youzhou hurriedly followed suit.

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Longyuan snorted coldly, feeling insulted even though it seemed like Gu Chen was praising him.

After all, no matter how strong he was, wasn’t he still unable to capture Gu Chen?

So, while Gu Chen appeared to be complimenting him on the surface, the real intent was laced with sarcasm.

Seeing that even Xiahou Longyuan couldn’t handle Gu Chen, it was natural for the rest of the Xiahou family, including Xiahou Yuan, to let Gu Chen leave with Xiahou Jie.

For the Xiahou clan, this was an immense blow, and once news of it spread, it would greatly diminish their prestige in the martial world, but they were helpless to change it.

On the other hand, once Gu Chen had left the Xiahou premises with his people, an officer of the Jing Tian Department from Youzhou asked curiously, "Lord Gu, what should we do next?"

Giving the ashen Xiahou Jie a glance, Gu Chen carried by his hand, he smiled faintly and said, "You take him back to the Jing Tian Department first and interrogate him."

The officer of the Jing Tian Department from Youzhou was startled and asked, "And what about you, Lord Gu?"

"Me?"

Gu Chen said with a faint smile, "I will stay here and wait for that old thing to come out!"

Just retreating like this, not having reached his goal, was certainly not Gu Chen’s style. Having determined that the Xiahou clan was in league with the Six Union God Sect and that Xiahou Longyuan was injured, he must be very eager to heal his wounds.

Thus, Xiahou Longyuan was unlikely to stay with the Xiahou clan indefinitely; he would surely come out and seek contact with the people of the Six Union God Sect.

By following Xiahou Longyuan, Gu Chen would naturally learn where the three Law Elders of the Six Union God Sect were hiding, and he could then capture them all in one fell swoop.

Merely capturing Xiahou Longyuan was clearly not Gu Chen’s objective.

In the background, upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, the officers of the Jing Tian Department from Youzhou realized the significance of Gu Chen’s actions and their eyes lit up with understanding.

"Please be extremely careful, Lord Gu. Xiahou Longyuan is powerful, having once achieved the realm of Martial God," they advised.

"Don’t worry, I know my limits," Gu Chen nodded.

Immediately after, the officers of the Jing Tian Department from Youzhou took Xiahou Jie and left to interrogate him upon their return, hoping to acquire some internal news about the Six Union God Sect.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, chose a concealed spot, masked his own vital energy, and began to wait patiently.
