Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

"Playing god and playing the fool!" the Supreme Commander of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights sneered, clearly not believing what he was seeing.

For this area was thoroughly prepared by them beforehand, with an array set up in case of any unexpected occurrences.

Moreover, the formation here was not designed for slaughter, but primarily for entrapment.

Chu Liufeng's face was cold and stern as he said to Gu Chen, "So what if that's so? Even if you've discovered it early and use yourself as bait to go fishing, you should never have stepped foot into this place!"

At that moment, as he looked at Gu Chen, an eerie murderous intent emanated from his entire being as he coldly declared, "Because once you enter this place, it means certain death!"

The formation enveloping this dense forest would confuse even heavenly beings from the Great Powers, and it would take a leader a significant amount of time to solve it.

Now, with Qingyun Academy, aside from that principal who had always been in seclusion, who else could save Gu Chen?

It could be said that in order to kill Gu Chen, Chu Liufeng and the others had indeed thought of everything, with a very meticulous plan.

They had even thought ahead that it didn't matter if Gu Chen became suspicious or even if he harbored the idea of fishing.

In fact, they even leveraged this, luring Gu Chen into this place.

"How does it feel, to be this desperate? Do you have any last words? Today, I'll let you die knowing why," Chu Liufeng scoffed coldly.

"The plan was indeed very meticulous, with nothing left overlooked," even Gu Chen nodded to himself for Chu Liufeng's plan after hearing it.

"It's just a pity that you still overlooked something, or should I say, it was a case of 'for want of a nail,'" Gu Chen said calmly.

"What do you mean?" Chu Liufeng frowned, sensing something was amiss.

At that moment, Gu Chen ignored him and calmly stated, "Master Cui, there's no need to hide any longer, please show yourself."

The instant after Gu Chen's words fell, ripples spread through the void and three figures emerged, one of whom was Cui Ji, a Great Power from Qingyun Academy!

"With us here, let's see who dares to harm a disciple of Qingyun Academy?" the aura of the three Great Powers was imposing, as they looked down at the Supreme Commander of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights and his men.

"How is this possible?!"

Upon seeing the appearance of Cui Ji and the others, Chu Liufeng and his men were immediately shocked, disbelief written in their pupils.

No wonder they were astonished; they genuinely couldn't figure out how Cui Ji and the others had broken the formation enveloping this forest.

Even in their perception, the formation that wrapped around this place hadn't been triggered and yet Cui Ji and his companions had arrived here—but how could this be?

Gu Chen's expression was undisturbed, and his eyes were deep. He had just said that the seemingly foolproof plan was still flawed in one aspect.

However, the "one flaw" wasn't something that Chu Liufeng and his men should be blamed for, after all, who would have imagined that Gu Chen, a junior cultivator in the early stages of the Huanxu Realm, could actually possess a fifth-grade divine ability!

That's right, it was with the help of the divine Eye Technique that the three Great Powers from Qingyun Academy managed to enter undiscovered and without triggering the already-set formation.

"A fifth-grade divine ability is indeed extraordinary," even Gu Chen couldn't help but to inwardly admire.

Divine abilities were hard to come by, let alone ones like the Eye Technique, which were truly rare.

Moreover, compared to other divine abilities, they were even harder to cultivate because they involved the eyes—any carelessness could result in irreversible damage.

It was only Gu Chen who could cultivate the Eye Technique to the fifth grade so smoothly.

Of course, the formation that enveloped the area was also extraordinary. Gu Chen, with his fifth-grade Eye Technique, couldn't completely see through it but he found an opportunity to exploit. With the Great Powers like Cui Ji informed by him and with the aid of precious items, it was not so surprising that they achieved this feat.

"Surprised?" Gu Chen looked at Chu Liufeng. Thankfully, he had always been wary of this man.

Because, through some time of interaction, he had really noticed something off about Chu Liufeng.

At times, the latter seemed too eager, and of course, the clincher was his extremely well-informed nature—it was suspicious how several times he informed Gu Chen ahead of incidents, to the point that even Princess Xidie was surprised once.

At that time, Gu Chen had begun to harbor suspicions, and the ultimate truth proved him right.

"Gu Bai!"

At that moment, as soon as Cui Ji and the others appeared, Chu Liufeng's face changed, and one might even say he became somewhat frantic.

Let's not even bring up the Supreme Commander of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights for now; Chu Liufeng himself, having been discovered, could no longer return to Qingyun Academy, let alone to Chu Family!

How could this not terrify him?

"No matter, if worse comes to worst, we'll just take down these three old fools from Qingyun Academy as well, consider it an unexpected bounty!"

The Supreme Commander of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights let out a fierce roar, and along with the two Great Powers beside him, the intense black aura and malicious energy spread throughout their bodies.

With the power of demons upon them, they were confident that in a battle of the same realm, they had the absolute advantage!

"Oh, really?"

But in the next moment, another voice chimed in, causing the color to drain from the faces of the Supreme Commander of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights and his men.

Even one of the Great Powers from the sanctified order could not help but exclaim, "A Titan?!"

Space vibrated, and a figure appeared unexpectedly in their midst—a seemingly ordinary elderly man whose arrival heralded unprecedented trepidation for the three Great Powers of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights.
