Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 966: Chapter 507: Murder and Plunder

The Heart of the Divine Tree began to tremble violently, the runes on its surface flickering erratically, as if ready to extinguish at any moment. A powerful force of rejection emanated from the Heart of the Divine Tree, causing Gu Sheng’s blood and energy to churn turbulently, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it!" Gu Sheng gritted his teeth, refusing to give up. He knew in his heart that if he couldn’t refine the Heart of the Divine Tree, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

He grasped the Heart of the Divine Tree tightly with both hands, mobilizing all the Mystic Yellow Power in his body, and frantically assaulting the defenses of the Heart of the Divine Tree.

As time ticked by, Gu Sheng’s complexion grew increasingly pale, his clothes soaked with sweat.

His body shook more and more severely, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Just as he was about to be unable to hold on, the Heart of the Divine Tree suddenly ceased its resistance, and the runes on its surface gradually stabilized, emitting a gentle glow.

A wave of pure life force surged into Gu Sheng’s body, rapidly repairing his damaged meridians and organs. He felt an unprecedented power coursing through his body, filling him with vitality.

"Success!"

Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a brilliant gleam shining from them like two dazzling stars.

After refining the Heart of the Divine Tree, he felt energy filling his body as if he possessed boundless power. He clenched his fists, sensing the surging strength within, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Finally..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a powerful aura rapidly approaching. Gu Sheng stood up abruptly, his eyes fierce, looking toward the direction from which the aura was coming.

In the distance, several figures approached swiftly through the air, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Leading the group was a man dressed in a long green robe, his features harsh, eyes sharp, exuding an imposing presence.

Behind him were several disciples, also wearing green robes, each with a strong aura, clearly not to be trifled with.

"Qingxia Sect?"

Gu Sheng immediately identified them, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The man in the green robe frowned slightly, a glimmer of greed flashing in his eyes. "Is that the Heart of the Divine Tree in your hand?"

Gu Sheng inwardly sneered, indeed, Qingxia Sect was here for the Heart of the Divine Tree. Without showing any sign, he put away the Heart of the Divine Tree, casually saying, "I wonder what guidance Your Excellency might offer?"

"Hmph! You ask knowingly!" The man in the green robe snorted coldly, "Hand over the Heart of the Divine Tree, and spare your life!"

The Qingxia Sect was the overlord of this region, powerful, with numerous disciples, behaving domineeringly, provoking no one.

In short, they committed arson, plunder, and all sorts of evil!

"Oh? What if I don’t hand it over?"

Gu Sheng sneered mockingly.

This group of fools hadn’t even recognized his identity.

"Courting death!"

The man in the green robe exploded in anger, and his disciples drew their weapons, surrounding Gu Sheng.

"Why waste words with this brat, Qing Feng Senior Brother, just snatch it directly!" a disciple shouted arrogantly.

"Exactly! A mere fledgling dares to challenge our Qingxia Sect, truly ignorant and reckless!" Another disciple echoed.

Qing Feng laughed coldly, "Fine, let me show you the might of the Qingxia Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he struck first, launching a palm attack towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng was already prepared, his form flickered, dodging Qing Feng’s palm strike.

"Your movement technique is good, but ultimately, you are no match for me!" Qing Feng sneered, striking again, his palm wind fierce, like a storm, sweeping toward Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng dared not be careless, quickly channeling Mystic Yellow Power, engaging Qing Feng in fierce battle.

For a moment, palm winds howled, Sword Qi crisscrossed, both sides engaged in a difficult and unresolved combat.

Gu Sheng sneered, the Divine Power of the Other Shore Realm surged within him, yet not fully unleashed.

He wanted to see exactly how much weight these self-proclaimed renowned sect members held.

The Fire Spirit Dagger had unknowingly slipped into his hand, the dagger entirely crimson, like a flickering flame, emitting scorching heat waves.

"Face your death!"

Qing Feng’s palm wind was fierce, accompanied by the sound of whistling wind, while Gu Sheng’s figure was ghostly, easily evading.

With a flip of his wrist, the Fire Spirit Dagger traced a crimson arc, directly targeting Qing Feng’s throat.

Qing Feng’s pupils constricted, hurriedly sidestepping to evade, the dagger scraped past his cheek, leaving a shallow blood mark.

"Such speed!"

Qing Feng’s heart was shocked, this kid’s strength far exceeded his expectations.

Seeing this, the other disciples no longer dared to underestimate Gu Sheng, each brandishing their Magical Treasures, jointly launching an attack.

With the Fire Spirit Dagger as his advantage, Gu Sheng moved freely among the crowd. As the dagger swung, flames surged, forcing everyone to retreat repeatedly. Each attack was precise and fierce, directly targeting vitals, showing no mercy at all.

"Is this all the Qingxia Sect disciples are capable of?" Gu Sheng mocked, "How disgraceful!"

His words were like fuel to the fire, thoroughly angering the Qingxia Sect disciples.

They roared in fury, relentlessly attacking Gu Sheng.

"Blazing Flame Heaven Burn!"

Gu Sheng yelled, the Fire Spirit Dagger erupted with dazzling light, sweeping out a terrifying heat wave, warping the air around.

Several disciples with lower cultivation were instantly swallowed by the flames, emitting harrowing screams.

Qing Feng’s face changed drastically, quickly summoning a green shield to block the impact of the flames. Even so, he was pushed back several steps, blood seeping from his mouth.

"This kid actually hid his strength!" Qing Feng was terrified inside.

Gu Sheng paid no mind to Qing Feng’s shock, his form flickered, appearing behind a disciple, and unhesitatingly drove the Fire Spirit Dagger into his heart.
