Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 124: Chapter 116: Superior Martial Skills, Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Golden Bell Shield (Three more updates of ten thousand words, seeking subscriptions!)_1

Chen Yu's expression was intense, and as soon as his words fell, he initiated the assault without hesitation or delay.

Boom!

Amid the thunderous sound of wind and thunder between heaven and earth, Chen Yu, with his exceptional skill and courage, leapt from the city wall in one bound, landing outside the city to face a multitude of demon sect warriors alone.

"Impressive courage!"

Even though they were enemies, the six warriors of the Demon Sect at the Gang Qi Stage couldn't help but admire Chen Yu's bravery; he dared to take on six by himself.

One must know that they were all formidable figures who had reached the external Gang Qi!

Boom!

As both sides' attacks collided, Chen Yu's clothes snapped in the wind as he drifted back. Facing six opponents, he was astonishingly unharmed.

"It really is an extraordinary Gangqi, Wei Jiang didn't deceive us!" an elder of the Holy Shadows Sect said, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Chen Yu, would you like to join our sect?" a black-robed elder of the Holy Shadows Sect asked.

Clearly, he recognized Chen Yu's exceptional strength and talent and thus entertained the idea of recruiting him.

"With your talent, after joining our sect, with the aid of demon ghosts of the evil grade, combined, you will soar in prowess. Perhaps in the future, you might even peep at the position of a Great Master in the Innate Realm!" He tempted Chen Yu earnestly and intelligently, inducing him with sentiment and logic to join the Six Union God Sect.

"I would never wish to become something that is neither human nor ghost," Chen Yu said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Demon Sect members darkened instantly, as they could not fail to perceive the sarcasm in Chen Yu's remark.

"Don't you wish for longevity? You should know that even a Great Master of the Martial Dao in the Innate Realm lives only slightly over two hundred years. But if you merge with a demon ghost of the evil grade, your lifespan could reach a thousand years!"

"Enough talk, vile heretics deserve death. Die!"

Chen Yu's eyes were icily determined, with undisguised murderous intent. He had nothing to say to these demon sect members who had obliterated their humanity—only killing could stop them.

"Obstinate fool!"

The elder of the Holy Shadows Sect shouted, a trace of black qi flashing in his pupils. With one hand forming seals and the other pointing towards Chen Yu from a distance, he cast a spell.

"Soul Extinguishing Skill!"

Instantly, Chen Yu felt darkness before his eyes, and his mind was wracked with intense pain, as if a large hand was tearing at his soul.

That was the martial art of the Holy Shadows Sect, extremely sinister and elusive.

But at that moment, Gangqi surged within Chen Yu's body, and the sounds of wind and thunder resounded within him. An unstoppable force flowed inside him, and two sharp lights flashed in his eyes, restoring his composure.

"Die!"

Chen Yu's eyes were fiercely determined as he extended a finger. From the tip of his finger, a five-colored dragon-shaped energy the size of a zhang burst forth, lifelike and wrapped in thunderous light, with an astonishing presence.

Seeing this, the elder of the Holy Shadows Sect stood his ground, his gaze slightly lowered, but behind him, a warrior of the Gang Qi Stage from the Red Flame Demon Sect appeared in a flash by his side and fiercely struck out with his palm.

"Flaming Demon Palm!"

Boom! Flames roared from his body, forming a vast demon shadow which surged towards Chen Yu's Startled Dragon Finger.

Thump!

In the clash, the warrior was forced back a dozen steps, clearly at a disadvantage.

Whoosh, whoosh!

At that moment, Cui Yu and Deng Zi An also leaped down from the city gate, joining Chen Yu to confront the members of the Demon Sect.

"You all retreat first." The six warriors of the Demon Sect at the Gang Qi Stage waved their hands, signaling the people behind them to move further away.

When warriors at the Gang Qi Stage fought, the destruction they caused was unimaginable.

There were six of them, and the Jing Tian Department had only three, which meant they had to face two opponents each.

"It's been a long time since I've felt this boiling blood," Cui Yu said, laughing loudly.

Seeing this, Deng Zi An also smiled slightly. They had no worries at all, feeling certain they would not be at a disadvantage.

Because anyone who could become a commander of the Jing Tian Department was battle-hardened, and this situation was far from challenging.

"Charge!"

With a light call from Chen Yu, the three immediately rushed forward, each choosing two enemies, and an intense battle ensued.

Chen Yu and his companions were indeed intending to lead the warriors of the Demon Sect away from the county city. Otherwise, should the city be affected by their attacks, once the gate was destroyed, the Demon Sect warriors could march straight in.

"Five Thunder Hand!"

Right from the start, Chen Yu used his killer move, as five-colored thunder gathered within his body and struck at his opponent.

The elder of the Holy Shadows Sect's heart sank, and he hurriedly retreated, while the warrior from the Red Flame Demon Sect faced it head-on.

The two, one with ranged attacks and the other with close combat, complemented each other well and engaged in a fierce battle with Chen Yu. For a moment, the victor was uncertain.

The soldiers defending the city watched anxiously, as did the commander of the city guards. Although the city was equipped with military crossbows, bows, and other defensive weapons, if Chen Yu and his companions were defeated, these would be of little significance against six warriors at the Gang Qi Stage.

One could say that the outcome of the battle between Chen Yu and his companions would determine the direction of the entire fight.

Yet, the battle was deadlocked, and victory was not imminent.

"Kill!"

At this moment, the rest of the warriors from the Demon Sect began their assault on the city, with those iron corpses cultivated by the Holy Shadows Sect leading the charge. With their iron-like bodies and fearlessness, they were the best at drawing fire from the front.

One could say these iron corpses were the Demon Sect warriors' shields to help them resist the city's crossbows, bows, and various machinery.

"Chen Yu, did you really think we intended to assault the city openly?" the elder of the Holy Shadows Sect suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's expression immediately changed.

```

Amidst the crowd of demon sect fighters stood a tall man with bulging muscles and bronze skin, standing tall like an iron tower.

Suddenly, he lifted his head, his pupils transforming into two pitch-black vortexes, involuntarily drawing the gaze of anyone who looked into his eyes.

And any soldier who made eye contact with him quickly had their eyes shaded with blackness, astonishingly turning to attack their own comrades.

"Demons again!"

Chen Yu's expression was stern. The martial arts of the Holy Shadows Sect were known for their strangeness, and when combined with the unpredictable methods of demons, they indeed proved to be extraordinarily effective.

The city wall was thrown into chaos, but fortunately, there were plenty of soldiers in the defense force, so the disturbance did not last long before fresh soldiers took over.

"Don't look into his eyes!" the commander of the city defense forces urgently shouted.

But at that moment, countless black mists surged out from the body of the demon sect fighter with the bronze skin, like long snakes charging at the soldiers on the city walls.

As the black mist invaded their bodies, those soldiers were once again controlled, their minds overwhelmed, turning them into puppets.

Thus, the great battle continued until dusk, and seeing that they could not take the city, the demon sect and others chose to retreat.

Chen Yu and his two companions had stern expressions, but they knew they couldn't keep the enemy from leaving and could only let them go.

"How much longer until the reinforcements from Tiandu arrive?" Chen Yu asked without turning back.

Cui Yu replied, "The number of demons has suddenly increased everywhere, and the Jing Tian Department needs to dispatch people to suppress them while also maintaining its daily operations. There are not many available hands, and this place is a fair distance from Tiandu. To get here, it will take at least two more days."

Chen Yu nodded slightly. He knew that the demon sect's people must also understand this; they wouldn't drag this out too long. Today was just a probe; perhaps tomorrow would be the true decisive battle.

Xu'an County must not fall, for Da Xia had already seen hundreds of thousands of citizens perish. No matter what, they must defend the county city.

...

Elsewhere, Gu Chen and his three companions, having cleared away several demons in the surrounding area, also began their hurried journey back.

However, Song Yu and Wang Yan, who had been injured all along and had hardly rested due to their continuous travels, could hardly conceal their fatigue.

Seeing this, Xu Qing suggested, "Let's find a place to rest for the night. With our speed, we should be able to reach there by noon tomorrow."

"Okay."

Gu Chen glanced at Song Yu and Wang Yan's pale faces and nodded. A great battle might await them upon returning to the county city, and if it continued like this, Song Yu and Wang Yan might truly be unable to hold on.

After all, they were only at the early stage of the Gang Qi Stage, and it was already extraordinary that they had managed to endure until now.

In the end, Gu Chen and his companions decided to spend the night in the wilderness.

Deep in the night, all was silent, and the stars shone brightly. Song Yu and Wang Yan had already fallen into deep sleep. Xu Qing sat not far away, honing his inner breath, striving to step into the Gang Qi Stage as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Gu Chen's gaze softened, and with a thought, he called up his character panel.

Name: Gu Chen

Inner Energy Cultivation: Pure Yang Wuji Gong

At this moment, just the martial arts listed on Gu Chen's panel, if spoken of, were enough to shock countless people.

With the exception of the Great Vajra Fist and Condensing Pulse Sword Wave, all martial arts, without exception, had reached the realm of completion!

Looking at the martial points on his panel, this time Gu Chen did not choose to increase his cultivation but instead, with a thought, opted to deduce his martial arts first.

Because Gu Chen wanted to see if the combination of the superior martial arts Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Horizontal Training and Golden Bell Shield could give birth to a Superior Martial Skill.

He had seen the power of the Superior Martial Skills unleashed by Chen Yu; they were far more powerful than superior martial arts.

But the Superior Martial Skills of the Jing Tian Department were too expensive, and with his merits, it was difficult for him to exchange for them.

Moreover, the martial arts deduced from the panel, in terms of depth and complexity, were in some aspects even more profound than some of the martial arts within the Jing Tian Department.

"Panel, deduce!"

As Gu Chen's thought moved, the words representing Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Horizontal Training and Golden Bell Shield on the panel immediately blurred, and the martial arts experiences related to them surged directly from the depths of Gu Chen's mind, constantly merging and combining. Amidst the burst of inspiration, countless new martial experiences appeared.

Both of these techniques were superior martial arts, with vast martial knowledge blending in Gu Chen's mind. He felt a headache swelling.

Gu Chen felt as if he had gained a vast amount of martial insights out of thin air, with new insights continually emerging, as if he were in the midst of an epiphany that many warriors would struggle to experience once in a lifetime.

Time passed, and what seemed like an instant, or perhaps several hours, this round of martial arts deduction finally concluded.

At this moment, with a thought from Gu Chen, he glanced at the panel and saw that a new martial arts titled "Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Golden Bell Shield" had appeared in his field of view.

Feeling the related martial information in his mind, its complexity and profundity vastly surpassed that of both Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Horizontal Training and Golden Bell Shield by countless times; they were not on the same level at all.

A smile appeared in Gu Chen's eyes, knowing that this time the panel had indeed not disappointed his expectations.

Superior Martial Skill, achieved!

At this point, Gu Chen also noticed the martial points below had significantly decreased by forty points compared to before!

"To deduce a Superior Martial Skill, it actually requires the consumption of so many martial points?" Gu Chen was astonished. To know, initially deducing Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Horizontal Training had only cost him eighteen martial points.

The martial points consumed to deduce a Superior Martial Skill were more than double that of superior martial arts.

"I want to see the incredible aspects of a Superior Martial Skill."

Gu Chen silently thought "upgrade," and the newly appeared martial art titled "Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Golden Bell Shield" on the panel immediately went from being nonexistent to having reached the realm of initial understanding.
