Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Gu Sheng chuckled at these words. ”Afraid? Of course I’m afraid. Your fame precedes you. Before coming here, my Master repeatedly warned me—if I encountered you in the Red Cloud Secret Realm, I should flee immediately.”

Despite his words, his relaxed demeanor and smile gave an entirely different impression in Lu Shu’s eyes.

”Hmph! In that case, hand over the Vajra Demon Suppression Bell and the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll. Considering the Holy Pill Sect and our Governor Mansion’s market and pill trade, I’ll spare your life!”

Gu Sheng shook his head and said, ”Now, that’s asking a bit much. How could I be so willing to give up treasures of this kind? I, Gu Sheng, am not some cowardly soul. If you want the Vajra Demon Suppression Bell and the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll, come and take them by force!”

Fighting intent surged in Gu Sheng’s eyes. He was eager to see whether, with his current strength, he could match Lu Shu head-on.

Lu Shu, seeing Gu Sheng draw his sword willingly, blushed with indignation.

”Hah! In that case, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

Despite being a woman, Lu Shu’s temperament was extremely fiery. As soon as she finished speaking, she drew her longsword.

Sword Aura erupted as her longsword radiated a deep blue light, its overwhelming power spreading outward.

”Wave-breaking!”

Gu Sheng’s casual attitude made Lu Shu feel belittled. Her pride, honed over many years, was deeply offended, so she opened with her signature Martial Arts move.

Feeling the power behind this strike, Gu Sheng not only remained calm but even shook his head slightly, saying with a touch of helplessness, ”You’re indeed strong. If you weren’t a Sword Cultivator, you’d pose a much greater threat to me. Unfortunately, duels between Sword Cultivators aren’t just about power—they’re about mastery over the sword itself! In this respect, you’re already destined to lose to me.”

Gu Sheng’s Water Cold Sword danced as he executed the three consecutive strikes of the Furious Blood Stance, unleashing blade qi that broke Wave-breaking’s Sword Qi instantly. Even Lu Shu’s Sword Aura trembled violently, showing signs of collapse.

Lu Shu’s complexion shifted dramatically. ”Impossible! You’ve only been cultivating for such a short time. How can your Sword Aura be this powerful?”

Gu Sheng laughed heartily. ”This isn’t ordinary Sword Aura—it’s Sword Gang, a refined version of Sword Intent!”

As Gu Sheng stated, duels between Sword Cultivators weren’t solely about cultivation strength but also about one’s understanding of the essence of the sword. Unless there was a vast gap in Martial Arts levels, someone like Lu Shu, who was suppressed within swordsmanship, couldn’t threaten Gu Sheng.

While the Furious Blood Stance itself wasn’t inherently strong—trash compared to Wave-breaking, a Top-grade Yellow Level technique—under the enhancement of Sword Gang, Lu Shu’s once-unstoppable Wave-breaking was mercilessly shattered.

With Wave-breaking broken, Lu Shu’s Sword Aura was also disrupted, crumbling bit by bit.

”No! I’ll kill you!”

Seeing her painstakingly cultivated Sword Aura beginning to shatter, Lu Shu fell into a frenzy. Her longsword swung wildly as an intricate array of Sword Qi swirled around her, restoring her previously crumbling Sword Aura to newfound strength.

Observing the changes in Lu Shu’s Sword Aura and the phenomena around her, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow, intrigued. ”A Mystical-level swordsmanship technique?”

Lu Shu poured all her strength into her longsword and slashed ferociously at Gu Sheng.

”Thousand Swords Become One!”

The technique Lu Shu used was a Mid-grade Mystical-level swordsmanship move: Thousand Swords Become One!

This technique was among the highest-ranking swordsmanship techniques in the Red Cloud Prefecture.

Countless sword shadows converged into one longsword that shot toward Gu Sheng.

The might of Thousand Swords Become One was overwhelming, even suppressing the Sword Gang around Gu Sheng’s body, forcing it to retreat temporarily. The Sword Qi produced by his Furious Blood Stance was directly crushed.

”What a ferocious swordsmanship technique!”

Gu Sheng’s eyes gleamed as a trace of greed flashed within them. His hands didn’t idle, and his longsword danced, stirring up a storm.

This was none other than Gu Sheng’s most powerful Martial Arts: the Gale Nine Swords!
