Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 998: Chapter 523: The Elf Clan’s Gesture of Goodwill

The Fire Spirit Dagger stabbed down heavily, directly hitting the curved blade of the Heisha Sect Leader.

A loud bang sounded, and Gu Sheng’s Divine Power tightly enveloped it, rebounding. Gu Sheng stepped back with his right foot, stopping abruptly just one meter away.

Although the Heisha Sect Leader was prepared, as soon as Gu Sheng’s Fire Spirit Dagger stabbed down, his arm went numb, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

After several steps, he barely stabilized himself, only to discover that there was a flaw on his curved blade!

Seeing the flaw, his anger immediately ignited.

This curved blade had been with him for years, claiming countless lives and drenched in blood, yet now it was broken by someone he despised like Gu Sheng. How could he suppress his fury!

Looking at Gu Sheng, his eyes were full of intense killing intent.

"I think you’re asking for death! Today I’ll use your life to consecrate this curved blade of mine!"

Upon hearing his words, Gu Sheng gave a mocking smile.

Having been forced to retreat, he still dared to boast fiercely—his strength might not be great, but his ambition was not small!

"Who will consecrate whom is still uncertain. Come on, give it your best shot!"

With a defiant expression, Gu Sheng provoked, and the Heisha Sect Leader rushed forth.

Seeing his aggressive posture, Gu Sheng heightened his vigilance and moved forward to engage in battle once more.

As both sides fought fiercely and evenly, an external force suddenly entered the small tripod.

Feeling the intrusion of a foreign force, Gu Sheng’s heart skipped a beat.

The opposing force was not weak, even stronger than the Heisha Sect Leader—could it be their reinforcements?

With this thought, Gu Sheng waved his right hand upwards, swiftly directing Divine Power into the center of the small tripod to ward off the external force.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside.

"Gu Sheng, it’s Lan Yao! Another force is speeding towards you, seemingly as reinforcements. I’m here to lend you a hand!"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng’s heart sank.

He swung out a blade, then quickly landed.

Seeing his gloomy expression, the Heisha Sect Leader laughed heartily.

"You think with this broken tripod you can leave here alive today? You’re dreaming! My reinforcements are coming, they’ll leave you not a shred! Then I’ll let Stone Village disappear for good!"

After speaking, he lifted a palm, striking forcefully outward.

Soon, another strange presence surged in.

Knowing that reinforcements had truly arrived, Shi Lou was anxious, cold sweat streaming down.

"Brother Sheng, what should we do now? If it were only against the Heisha Sect, we might stand a chance, but now they’ve called in reinforcements, numbers far exceeding ours. If it comes to a fight, I’m afraid..."

He didn’t continue, but Gu Sheng understood.

As his mind raced, outside came Lan Yao’s voice again.

"Gu Sheng, reinforcements are approaching. Quickly let me in; we’ll take down the Heisha Sect first, and then discuss further. Hurry!"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng gnawed his teeth and finally withdrew the small tripod.

The Spiritual Power scattered in the sky, and the Elf Clan immediately joined the battle.

Upon seeing the Elf Clan, the Heisha Sect Leader’s expression changed dramatically.

"This matter doesn’t concern you, please don’t interfere."

Hearing this, Lan Yao sneered.

"Gu Sheng is my friend. Targeting him is targeting my Elf Clan!"

After Lan Yao finished speaking, the Heisha Sect Leader’s expression flickered.

He looked at Gu Sheng, full of disbelief.

"Impossible—a mere Stone Village, which isn’t even notable in Jianghu—how can it be allied with the Elf Clan? Gu Sheng, what means have you used?!"

Staring at him, Gu Sheng laughed mockingly.

"Do you think everyone is like you, using vile means for everything? You have reinforcements, I have allies too. This time, we’ll see who dies!"

He finished and initiated his attack first.

Seeing him move, Lan Yao immediately led the Elf Clan forward.

Both sides charged fiercely, and the Heisha Sect Leader was quickly beaten into retreat.

As he retreated step by step, he finally opened his mouth to beg for mercy.

"Gu Sheng, I beg you, spare my life!"

With that, he directly knelt on the ground.

Gu Sheng, filled with the intent to kill, was ready to take his life when Lan Yao suddenly stopped him.

"Gu Sheng, don’t be impulsive."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng frowned tightly.

"What do you mean?"

"Don’t misunderstand, I’m on your side. I’m not helping him. It’s just that we’ve almost reached the foot of South Mountain now, and if you kill him here, with no trace of him on the Duel Platform, all the factions will undoubtedly investigate this matter. If they trace it back to you, it will bring you many troubles."

In that moment, Gu Sheng’s heart calmed down.

He knew Lan Yao was right. The Heisha Sect was a notable name in Jianghu, their name listed at the Duel Conference. Many had seen them on the road. If they were to die by his hand at this time, and all factions demanded accountability, it would be more than Stone Village could bear. Compared to that, the Heisha Sect’s targeting was insignificant.

Understanding this, Gu Sheng put away the Fire Spirit Dagger.

At this point, the Heisha Sect’s reinforcements arrived, seeing their Sect Leader kneeling before Gu Sheng with eyes wide in shock.

"Heisha Sect Leader, why such humility? If you want to kill him, we’ll do it for you."

Hearing such insensitivity, the Heisha Sect Leader nearly burst in rage.

If he could kill them, why would he be kneeling here?

A bunch of blind fools, they must not have seen the Elf Clan!

Leaning his head slightly, the Heisha Sect Leader started casting frantic glances.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but frown.

"Heisha Sect Leader, do you acknowledge your mistake?"

Upon hearing this, the Heisha Sect Leader gritted his teeth and nodded.

"I acknowledge my mistake."

Gu Sheng’s brow eased slightly, his gaze roaming over his face before finally landing on his waist.
