Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Dragon Origin, which is the essence of a dragon's entire being, embodies the utmost yang and rigidity. It could forge one's physique, transform tendons and marrow, and refine one's cultivation.

Of course, the Dragon Origin in front of everyone was not the Dragon Origin of a true dragon. As Kui Gang had mentioned earlier, the true dragon is an ancient divine demon, one of the strongest even among its peers.

If it were truly the Dragon Origin of a real dragon, it's not to mention that they couldn't bear it, a grandmaster of martial arts wouldn't either, as they would be overwhelmed by the Dragon Origin and their bodies would explode.

Even if it was the Dragon Origin that originated within a flood dragon, it was still incredibly efficacious. After all, during the ancient times, flood dragons, once grown, were comparable to the grandmasters of the Human Clan at the Returning to True Stage.

Nowadays, as the ancient era has passed, let alone flood dragons, even ordinary spiritual beasts have vanished with the passage of time. Therefore, this particular Dragon Origin could possibly be the only one left in the entire Nine Provinces, naturally making it extremely precious.

After consuming it, one's innate talent and physical constitution would break through natural limits and improve dramatically, as well as enhance both the physical body and cultivation significantly.

Hearing Kui Gang's words, the dozen or so martial artists' eyes twinkled, heads bowed, each lost in their own thoughts.

To be honest, with the Dragon Origin within reach, to say that one is not tempted is a lie.

However, Gu Chen is after all the commander of the Jing Tian Department, and his reputation is known throughout the world. Even though they all have the cultivation of the Returning to True Stage, none dare to easily claim they could defeat Gu Chen.

"You sure have guts!"

Seeing Kui Gang dare to incite others to join him against Gu Chen right in front of him, Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh out of anger. However, he didn't go easy with his hands, as he sent out a palm strike with scorching Gangqi erupting from the center of his hand like a torch, aiming directly at Kui Gang.

Feeling the power of this strike, Kui Gang's eyes widened in shock, his face draining of color. He was certain that back when they were at the Liuyun Mountain, Gu Chen didn't have this level of cultivation!

Just a few days apart, how had Gu Chen improved again?

Qiu Li's expression also changed. He too noticed that compared to a few days earlier at Liuyun Mountain, Gu Chen's strength had increased considerably.

Boom!

A wave of intense heat rushed towards them. Despite his shock, Kui Gang immediately operated the White Tiger Clan's martial arts. In an instant, he grunted, his muscles bulging, his arms crossed in front of his body, while his entire figure took on a strange metallic sheen, becoming extremely hard.

It was the White Tiger Clan's Superior Body Training Martial Skill—Body of Geng Metal!

Geng Metal, which governs killing and destruction and matches the attributes of the White Tiger, has a legend that when the Body of Geng Metal is perfected, the toughness of the flesh, although not quite up to the indestructible level of the Vajra Stage, is still extremely fierce.

At the same time as the body's strength surges, the practitioner becomes like a human-shaped weapon, each move filled with the Geng Metal's murderous aura, insurmountably powerful and terrifying indeed.

The training method for this martial art also requires the daily and nightly refinement of the body with the Geng Metal's murderous aura, a process so painful that few can endure it.

Kui Gang, who was now substantially tempered in this martial art, had endured day and night refinement with the Geng Metal's aura, suffering that ordinary people could not withstand.

Clang!

The sound of metal striking metal rang out, crisp and clear. Gu Chen's palm seemed to have hit a piece of hundred-refined steel, and Kui Gang managed to come out unscathed.

At that moment, Kui Gang's arms were slightly red, and with a low roar, he charged straight at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen's expression remained calm as he sent another palm strike, instantly turning the crimson Gangqi into a long dragon, its body twisting and turning, teeth and claws bared, striking Kui Gang's Body of Geng Metal.

Clang!

Sounds akin to the smithing of iron resounded once more. Although Kui Gang was uninjured, the burning heat carried with Gu Chen's Gangqi nevertheless penetrated his body, making him feel an intense burning sensation in his innards.

This was exactly where the Body of Geng Metal fell short compared to the indestructible body that could be attained at the Vajra Stage. Compared to Gu Chen's body, which had reached that indestructible degree, Kui Gang's Body of Geng Metal, which could only solidify the surface, had limited effect on protecting inner organs.

If it were not for his experience at the Vajra Stage, undergoing the castings of copper and iron, and the dense Gangqi protecting his body, Gu Chen's palm strike would have severely injured him.

Even so, Kui Gang still felt extremely uncomfortable inside. At present, although Gu Chen was at the Gang Qi Stage, his strength had astonishingly increased to six hundred and twenty years worth, and he cultivated the ancient Superior Product Inner Strength Mind Skill, the Great Sun True Skill. His Gangqi was extremely refined, hardly less potent than the true Gangqi within Kui Gang's body.

"Pfft!"

The next moment, with a step forward, Gu Chen was up close to Kui Gang, his simple and unadorned golden fist directly hitting Kui Gang's body. Instantly, Kui Gang's Body of Geng Metal neared rupture, revealing numerous delicate cracks, and he himself spit out blood and was sent flying backward.

"Do you see now? This is the power of Gu Chen. Aren't you going to make a move?" Kui Gang bellowed, continuing to incite everyone.

Upon hearing these words, Gu Chen's eyes turned cold. No wonder Kui Gang still dared to take action against him after experiencing Gu Chen's power. He had been "setting an example" by revealing Gu Chen's power, inciting fear, and forcing them to join forces against him.

"Here, even if you kill him, no one would know what truly happened, right, Lord Dong?"

At this, seeing that the dozen martial artists were still hesitant, Kui Gang quickly turned his gaze to Dong Ziwei.
