Chapter 1120: Chapter 584: The Only Survivor
Gu Sheng’s eyes lit up as he looked at Liu Ping.
"Have you made up your mind?"
Staring into his eyes, Liu Ping nodded with a smile.
"I have."
"Are you participating in the recruitment assembly?"
"I’ve followed you this far, do you think I would still participate?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng smiled.
"That’s a good decision."
"After thinking it over, I also feel it’s a good decision. I once stationed on the outskirts of Stone Village, so I know a little about you. Although you don’t have a name in Jianghu yet, your sect is pure, and there is no trace of Evil Qi in your Spiritual Energy—this is what I want. As for name and fame, I will make a name with you."
After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng’s smile deepened.
"Our Stone Village isn’t as simple as you think. Some things don’t require you to fight for; they can be easily obtained."
Gu Sheng didn’t clarify further, and Liu Ping didn’t seem to take it seriously, instead, he directly extended his hand toward Gu Sheng.
"From now on, please take care of me."
"No problem."
Their hands clasped firmly, marking Liu Ping’s formal joining of Stone Village.
Taking out a Purple Jade Dagger, Gu Sheng handed it to him.
"Every sect prepares gifts for new members, and ours is no exception. This is my gift for you, keep it."
Seeing the Purple Jade Dagger, Liu Ping was greatly surprised.
"This is too valuable, I can’t accept it."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng frowned slightly.
"Why can’t you accept it? You joined my sect; it’s only proper to give you a gift. There’s nothing you can’t accept, unless you have ulterior motives?"
"No, I just feel this gift is too valuable, I..."
"Don’t say much. If you don’t have ulterior motives, accept it. Take this dagger and first go to Stone Village to find the Third Elder. It carries my aura; once he sees it, he will understand. Cultivate well there, I’ll be back soon."
"You’re not returning?"
"I still have matters to attend to."
"I can help you."
"No, this is something I’ve planned for a long time; I can’t suddenly increase manpower. You go back first."
Gu Sheng’s words were undeniable, and Liu Ping could only nod in agreement.
Watching him leave, Gu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Qin and the Qingcheng Sect’s people were still inside; Liu Ping would be in no danger on his current path. As for this side, they’d handle it.
After Liu Ping’s silhouette disappeared, Gu Sheng then turned around decisively.
Walking along the path for a while, he finally felt Bai Yu’s aura.
With no one around, Gu Sheng slipped inside.
"How is it? What did you find?"
"As expected, there are Death Soldiers, and their aura is very strange."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng frowned.
"Just as I thought. We’ll first find a chance to eliminate them, then we’ll go to Wushuang Taoist to see if there’s a way to deal with these Death Soldiers."
"You and Hong Mei had the same thought, she suggested the same."
Turning to glance at Hong Mei, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
At this moment, Luo Qin’s aura changed, and the Death Soldiers outside immediately moved.
Sensing their aura, Gu Sheng immediately brought out the Fire Spirit Dagger.
"Action!"
Hearing his words, everyone immediately emerged from the shadows, quietly approaching the Death Soldiers.
Upon seeing these emotionless people who only knew how to fight, Gu Sheng flicked his fingers, sending a strand of colorless, odorless aura toward them.
After waiting for a while, Gu Sheng found that his poison was useless against them, leaving him somewhat alarmed.
"Poison doesn’t work on them, we’ll have to use force. Be careful, everyone."
Hearing this, everyone became alert and began to unleash their Divine Power.
At Gu Sheng’s command, they all launched an attack.
Sensing the waves of Spiritual Energy, the Death Soldiers immediately reacted. Upon turning their heads, they were met with merciless blades and swords.
Gu Sheng and the others charged forward, their weapons moving rapidly without hesitation.
The Death Soldiers fought back, managing not to falter at all.
After a few moves, Gu Sheng noticed they were unscathed.
A few steps away, Gu Sheng squinted slightly.
"Something’s not right; even as Death Soldiers, they shouldn’t be invulnerable to blades. For them to withstand my attacks without a scratch is clearly suspicious."
Standing aside, Bai Yu spoke urgently.
"What should we do? We’re short on time; if we can’t take them down before Luo Qin appears, Saint Ya will surely emerge!"
Biting his lip, Gu Sheng whispered, "They must be protected by something. Aim for their faces, even if they have myriad protective measures, their faces are exposed."
Hearing this, the group was enlightened.
When the Death Soldiers charged, they no longer targeted vital points directly but aimed for their faces.
Indeed, Gu Sheng’s method worked, and after a few moves, several Death Soldiers had multiple wounds on their faces.
"Gu Sheng, this method works!"
"Increase the intensity, quickly deal with these people, and leave one alive for Wushuang Taoist to take back."
Understanding his intention, everyone attacked again.
Gu Sheng charged ahead, the Fire Spirit Dagger dancing rapidly, each strike aimed at the opponent’s head.
Seeing his fierce momentum, the Death Soldiers were forced to retreat step by step. However, Gu Sheng advanced relentlessly, each move deadly.
Perhaps drawn by Gu Sheng’s strong aura, Lan Yao and the others were also inspired, attacking recklessly.
Knowing they were after their lives, the Death Soldiers fought back fiercely, even as blood flowed freely; they refused to retreat, choosing to fight back desperately.
With one slash from Gu Sheng, a Death Soldier’s ear was sliced off, and blood spurted continuously, yet he seemed impervious, his gaze locked onto Gu Sheng, unleashing his full Divine Power in an attack.
