Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

But the very next moment, three disciples from the Cave Heaven Realm turned their heads, their gazes icy, stopping the person from finishing his sentence.

"You, you, you, and you!"

The three Red Cloud Sect disciples from the Cave Heaven Realm pointed successively at the crowd, and a total of nine people stepped out, commanded to explore the path ahead.

Those who weren't pointed at felt a sense of relief, yet also a sense of helplessness and sorrow.

Because, after all, they had to face it; one could run away from the monk, but not from the temple.

Soon, the nine individuals clenched their teeth, their anger evident, but in such a situation, they had no choice but to endure. They stepped forward together, approaching the valley, yet no one dared to take the first step.

"Do not dawdle!" Behind them, the three Red Cloud Sect disciples from the Cave Heaven Realm urged them coldly, their eyes steely.

Whoosh!

Among the nine, two came up to the valley forefront, exchanged a glance, then soared into the sky, attempting to escape from this place.

"Overestimating yourselves!"

Behind them, the three Red Cloud Sect disciples from the Cave Heaven Realm witnessed this scene, their expressions darkened. One of them flicked a finger, and a red streak of finger force cut through the void with incredible speed, approaching the two warriors who had leaped into the air in an attempt to flee.

"No good!"

An immense pressure bore down as the two cried out in panic, their faces turning to extreme fear, their bodies frozen mid-air, forced to watch helplessly as the two streaks of finger force struck towards them.

Thud!

The next moment, blood sprayed, flesh and bone scattered in all directions; just a casual flick of finger force by a disciple from the Cave Heaven Realm was enough to leave two Martial Realm warriors utterly powerless, killed instantly.

"Move now!"

The remaining seven struggled with their expressions, agony in their eyes. Their last hope shattered, they had no choice but to follow orders and proceed.

Thud!

The first person took two steps and was attacked by disordered blades, cut into mincemeat, following the footsteps of the one before him.

The second was luckier, not having touched any formation spot, walking a good five steps, his face filled with joy.

Unfortunately, when he took the sixth step, a streak of golden light struck with incredible speed. There was no time to react, and he was cleaved in half by the force, his insides spilling out on the ground.

The third person managed eight steps before, inexplicably, his body exploded, blood and bones flying chaotically.

The remaining four met similar fates, each dying in different ways.

The one who made it furthest was the eighth person; he had gone about ten feet before meeting his untimely demise.

The treasures of the last era were naturally not easily obtained; the formations within the valley were mysterious and unfathomable, rare even in the upper realms.

Among all the Red Cloud Sect members present, including the three Cave Heaven Realm disciples, none understood formations, and naturally, they didn't know how to break them.

They sent people to scout, merely hoping to find weak points in the formations, then relying on their own power to deal with them.

"This place is a test of fortune for those in the Cave Heaven Realm; I refuse to believe that, with our power, we cannot pass!" one of the three Cave Heaven Realm disciples from the Red Cloud Sect said with a stern face.

In this minor world, due to the limitations of the laws of heaven and earth, the strongest beings it could accommodate were those in the Cave Heaven Realm. Thus, all tests of fortune would not exceed the standard of the Cave Heaven Realm, which is why the three from the Red Cloud Sect refused to accept that they couldn't win the supreme magical weapons, feeling indignant in their hearts.

"It's your turn now!"

At that moment, their gazes turned to Gu Chen, who stood there with a calm demeanor, wanting him to scout the path.

"Indeed, it's time for you to take the stage!" The three of them, with cold faces, began to coerce Gu Chen to proceed, just as they had done with the others before.

"Are you deaf? We're talking to you!" At this, the Red Cloud Sect warriors who had led Gu Chen to this place, seeing him silent, spoke out even more arrogantly and imperiously.

The experience they had when they first encountered Gu Chen still gnawed at them, which is why they were now making a show of themselves, trying to recapture the face they had lost.

"Are you talking to me?" At this moment, Gu Chen came back to his senses, no longer observing the array in the valley, but instead, his gaze shifted, looking towards the members of the Red Cloud Sect.

As Gu Chen's gaze fell upon them, immediately, those few martial artists once again found their breathing hitched, their bodies enveloped in cold, that familiar feeling arising once more.

But then, they remembered they had the backing of their three Cave Heaven Realm senior brothers and became emboldened again, chin lifted in an extremely arrogant manner, "We're talking to you, are you deaf or something? Let me tell you, don't even think about resisting. That bunch just now, that's what's in store for your future..."

Pfft!

Before the man could finish his words, in an instant, without any visible movement from Gu Chen, his body suddenly exploded, with blood raining down from the sky.

"How audacious!"

Seeing that Gu Chen dared to take action on the spot, the people of the Red Cloud Sect immediately cast a chilling look his way, and the others standing nearby watched him with shock.

"To act so brazenly in front of Cave Heaven Realm cultivators, this man's gall is truly immense."

"I'm telling you, we should take advantage of the chaos and run as fast as we can."

"But how could he possibly stand a chance against Cave Heaven Realm cultivators, not to mention three of them? He'd probably be dead the moment they clash."

"We can't worry about that now, this is our only chance. If you don't run, then just wait here for death!"

For a time, those captured by the Red Cloud Sect were all whispering amongst themselves, planning to escape using the time bought by Gu Chen's impending death.

At this moment, the three Cave Heaven Realm cultivators from the Red Cloud Sect had icy expressions. They too had not expected Gu Chen to be so defiant and to strike right before them.

"It seems you wish to die!" The warriors of the Red Cloud Sect were also furious, reproaching Gu Chen one after another.

Gu Chen remained composed, standing quietly there, but nearby, one Red Cloud Sect warrior after another exploded, people dying unexpectedly, with no complete corpse left.

This horrifying scene immediately stunned everyone present.

Even those three Cave Heaven Realm cultivators were frozen in shock, a chill rising from the depths of their hearts.

"Suicidal fool!"

In that moment, their anger erupted, powerful mana soared into the sky, preparing to strike at Gu Chen.

But when Gu Chen's gaze met theirs, the three of them froze in place, even their facial expressions and eyes remained unchanged.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

The next instant, followed by three soft sounds, their bodies were torn apart, blood flowing freely, nearly following the fate of the other Red Cloud Sect disciples!

"What?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the others felt chills running down their spines, trembling as they watched this extraordinary event in disbelief.

Gu Chen was like a demon god descended upon the world, standing there without any movement from him, yet one after another, people continued to die, even Cave Heaven Realm cultivators were not spared.

This scene truly terrified them.

"Hmm?"

However, Gu Chen frowned slightly, surprised that those three had not died.

But soon, he saw that each of the three had an amulet emitting bursts of light on them, which preserved their lives, otherwise, that one strike would have surely killed them utterly.

Swish!

The next moment, the amulets lit up, whisking them away from the site.
