Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"Presumptuous brat!"

Color drained from the face of the Rakshasa Sect's Grandmaster of Martial Arts in the Innate Realm, his temperament exceptionally volatile due to his cultivation technique. He was ready to strike down Gu Chen on the spot.

At that moment, the Grandmaster from the Sky Evil Sect smirked coldly, stopping him and said, "He's just a junior after all. Isn't it below our dignity if both of us personally take action to kill him?"

He stood aloft in the sky, his gaze shifting to Gu Chen below, and spoke condescendingly, "I didn't expect you to actually dare to come here alone. Are you that eager to court death?"

"To slay you inhuman beasts, there is no need for others to act. I alone am sufficient," Gu Chen said coldly.

His eyes swept across the area, the crowd shrouded in black mist; the faces of dozens of demonic cult martial artists were ferocious as they watched him, but the number who had fused with demons was not large—a small percentage overall.

It was evident that even within the Six Union God Sect, martial artists who successfully merged with demons were in the minority.

As Xuan Yuan had said, though the number of demons in Yan State seemed large at present, they had not yet reached their peak, and the more powerful demons could not yet enter Yan State.

However, once the great calamity of Da Xia that Xuan Yuan talked about arrived and a mass invasion of demons occurred, this situation would undoubtedly change, with a surge in the number of martial artists within the Six Union God Sect who had merged with demons.

Dealing with the Six Union God Sect then would become even more troublesome.

The Grandmaster from the Sky Evil Sect frowned slightly. For some reason, he felt that something was amiss. He used his mental senses to probe his surroundings, but he did not detect the presence of any Grandmasters from the Jing Tian Department.

This was somewhat unexpected.

Could it be that Gu Chen was truly here alone, ready to meet his death?

"Are you even worthy of insulting a Grandmaster of the Martial Arts in the Innate Realm?"

At this, a Martial Arts Master from the Rakshasa Sect could not contain himself and stepped forward, pointing at Gu Chen with a haughty attitude, "Within three moves, I'll take your dog life!"

The two Grandmasters from the Rakshasa Sect and the Sky Evil Sect exchanged a glance, deciding to let this man test Gu Chen's mettle and gauge from where his confidence stemmed.

After all, they could not be sure why Gu Chen was so self-assured in the face of two opponents in the Innate Realm.

The Marquis of Wu An in Da Xia, a slaughterer, Earth level Commander of the Jing Tian Department, and the leading prodigy of the martial arts world in Yan State for several hundred years—Gu Chen had too many titles. The two Grandmasters from the Rakshasa Sect and the Sky Evil Sect did not believe that Gu Chen was a brainless brute.

However, the idea that Gu Chen could oppose the Innate Realm was absolutely unbelievable to them.

The gap between the Acquired Realm and the Innate Realm could no longer be described as a chasm, but rather a heaven-wide gulf that no martial artist could cross.

"It's been a long time since I've savored the taste of a Martial Arts Master's flesh and blood," the Rakshasa Sect's Martial Arts Master said with a fierce smile, bloodstains lingering at the corner of his mouth.

Among the six demonic factions under the command of the Six Union God Sect, the Refining Moon Demon Sect was the strongest, with martial artists from the Rakshasa Sect known for being the most vicious and violent.

They would often consume human flesh, and this was not merely talk.

The martial artists from the Rakshasa Sect were essentially a group of freaks and madmen; including the Sky Evil Sect, the other five demonic factions generally preferred not to deal with them.

This was all due to the influence of the internal practices within the Rakshasa Sect. Only after reaching the Innate Realm and communing with the heavens and earth could one begin to shake off the drawbacks brought by their techniques.

"Rakshasa Demonic Claw!"

Just then, the Rakshasa Sect practitioner bellowed, his fingers flashed with blood-red light, his nails suddenly extending like swords. With a flicker of his figure, his arm thrust directly towards Gu Chen's chest.

As he nearly reached, Gu Chen saw the bloodthirsty red gleam in his eyes and his extremely ferocious face.

"Your heart will be mine!" he snarled with a vicious smile.

Suddenly, with a boom, Gu Chen's left hand ignited, emitting a blinding light. He swiftly extended his arm like lightning, quickly grabbing the neck of the Rakshasa Sect practitioner.

The man was dumbfounded and had no time to react before his neck was caught in Gu Chen's grip.

"Err..."

In the next instant, as Gu Chen exerted force, the man's eyes bulged, his face turned red, and his arms and legs flailed uselessly against Gu Chen, to no avail.

Hum!

In an unseen part deep within the flesh of Gu Chen's left hand, the surface of an ancient and profound gauntlet shimmered. Then everyone saw the Rakshasa Sect martial artist whose neck was held by Gu Chen suddenly stiffen in place.

In an instant, his robust body shriveled, as if a ball had been deflated, his vital essence drained away in a blink.

"What's going on?!"

The expressions of many from the Rakshasa Sect and Sky Evil Sect were shocked. Although they were demonic cultivators, Gu Chen's method was too sinister and astonished them.

A living, breathing person had turned into a dried corpse in an instant?

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, so swiftly that even the two Grandmasters from the Rakshasa Sect and Sky Evil Sect were confounded, unsure of what had just transpired.

Keep in mind, the one whose neck Gu Chen had seized was a Martial Arts Master at the peak of the Hundred Orifices Stage; even if Gu Chen were powerful, he should not have been able to slay him so effortlessly.
