153: Defeat the enemy with one punch

Shu Mountain territory.

A flash of green light, and a figure appeared in the teleportation Formation.

'Shu Mountain...'

Gu Changsheng's gaze swept across his surroundings.

He saw green mountains encircling them, full of spiritual essence, and Sword Qi faintly emanating from the Void Realm.

Truly worthy of being a Holy Land for Sword Cultivators.

"Hmm? Senior Brother Li Daoyi, you're back..."

The Shu Mountain Disciple guarding the Formation, seeing who it was, quickly stepped forward with a welcoming smile: "Senior Brother Li Daoyi, did you find an Opportunity for Breakthrough on this trip?"

Gu Changsheng glanced at him, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Without a word, he walked directly towards the Shu Mountain main gate.

In his memory, Li Daoyi rarely interacted with fellow Disciples who were not as strong as him.

Don't ask, if you ask, it means he looked down on them.

Watching Gu Changsheng's departing back, the Shu Mountain Disciple's face fell: "Arrogant..."

Immediately after, he pulled out a command talisman from his Pregnant, pressed it to his mouth, and whispered a message: "Senior Brother Gu, Li Daoyi is back..."

As soon as he stepped into the Shu Mountain main gate,

Gu Changsheng felt himself firmly locked onto by a strand of Qi.

It nearly made him think he had been exposed.

'No, although this Qi is sharp, it hasn't exceeded the True Core Realm...'

At this moment, a hearty laugh came from the Void Realm.

"Li Daoyi, I, Gu, have been waiting for you for a long time... Thirty years ago, you took advantage of my Mystic Sword Body's crucial cultivation period and defeated me in front of everyone, snatching my True Disciple position and hindering my Dao Heart.

Today, I, Gu Luosheng, will thoroughly wash away this humiliation."

A swift figure landed in front of Gu Changsheng, his gaze like a sword, staring intently at Gu Changsheng.

"This Sword Body Qi, Senior Brother Gu's Mystic Sword Body has finally reached Major Achievement!"

"That's great! Senior Brother Gu will surely defeat this arrogant Li Daoyi and reclaim his True Disciple position."

"Senior Brother Gu, go for it!"

Many Shu Mountain Disciples were drawn by the Qi and looked over.

In the distance, atop a majestic sword tower, several Shu Mountain True Disciples were drinking tea and discussing the Dao.

Yan Qing, in a green robe, leaned against the railing, his gaze falling on the main gate, a hint of solemnity appearing in his eyes.

"Li Daoyi is back... Sure enough, this fellow still wants to compete with us for the Sword Vein Master position..."

"Brother Yan, why worry?

Although that Li Daoyi is formidable, Gu Luosheng is not to be trifled with either.

If it weren't for the True Disciple quota being limited to twenty-eight,

he would definitely have a chance to be ranked among the True Disciples."

A square-faced True Disciple sighed.

"More than that, the Mystic Sword Body is one of our sect's most powerful secret arts.

After achieving Major Achievement, in a one-on-one fight, I might not even be able to defeat him.

If Li Daoyi wants to win, he will definitely have to pay a considerable price.

Once injured, it will definitely affect the Sword Vein competition a year from now."

"This is a heaven-sent Opportunity."

Gu Changsheng looked at the person in front of him, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

'It seems this body has quite a few enemies... troublesome...'

Thinking about it, it was true, with Li Daoyi's personality, being self-important, it would be strange if he didn't make enemies.

'Gu Luosheng... former Shu Mountain True Disciple... defeated by Li Daoyi thirty years ago, stripped of his True Disciple position... I see.'

Fragments of memory from the soul search flashed through Gu Changsheng's mind.

Seeing Gu Changsheng's calm demeanor, Gu Luosheng's eyes were about to split, and he angrily said: "Bastard, how dare you look down on me!

Today, I will return all the humiliation I suffered for thirty years a hundredfold!"

Clang—

Mystic power surged, and an invisible Sword Qi erupted from his body, causing countless cracks to appear on the floor beneath Gu Luosheng's feet, spreading outwards from him as the center.

The formidable Qi stunned everyone.

"This... is this the Major Achievement level of the Mystic Sword Body?

So strong!"

"He will surely defeat Li Daoyi!"

Many Disciples looked on with anticipation.

Whoosh—

A massive Sword Qi tore through the Void Realm, Gu Luosheng's body seemed to transform into a sharp sword, merging into the top-grade Flying Sword in his palm, his Qi vibrating the Void Realm and creating ripples.

"Fall for me!"

The golden sword cleaved the Void Realm!

In a flash, a world-destroying Sword Qi reached Gu Changsheng.

A killing move infinitely close to the Profound Cave Realm made the Void Realm tremble.

Boom—

He moved!

A golden fist struck out, seemingly ordinary, yet it instantly tore through the sword light, and the Sword Qi surged wildly and dispersed as if an ant was trying to shake a tree.

"What?"

Gu Luosheng's face was full of astonishment, watching a fist strike towards his face.

Bang—

The force of the fist erupted, Gu Luosheng let out a wail, blood splattered across the Void Realm, and he flew hundreds of feet away, his Qi instantly weakening.

The entire place was silent.

One move.

Just one move, and he defeated Gu Luosheng, who had achieved Major Achievement in the Mystic Sword Body.

How... how is this possible!

Crack... snap... Yan Qing, who was originally leaning against the railing and playing with his folding fan, suddenly turned pale, exerting force, his folding fan shattered and turned to dust.

"Li Daoyi went out to train, I wonder what Opportunity he encountered... his Physical Body is incredibly powerful."

"Almost... comparable to an ordinary Cave Profound Old Monster..."

The faces of the several True Disciples beside him changed drastically, becoming as gloomy as water.

In a one-on-one fight, based solely on this Body Refining strength, no one dared to boast of defeating Li Daoyi.

At this moment, Gu Changsheng, at the center of everyone's attention, looked calm, as if he had done something insignificant.

'Trouble, the several sword techniques obtained from the soul search are not enough to defeat this person, I can only use the power of my Physical Body to forcibly suppress him... In future battles, if I cannot defeat them with sword techniques, it will arouse suspicion...'

Gu Changsheng's gaze swept around, remembering the faces of everyone present, his gaze piercing through the Void Realm, vaguely looking towards the sword tower.

'Those few people have impressive Qi, comparable to Li Daoyi.

They are probably also Shu Mountain True Disciples... Perfect, let me see what secret arts you have.'

Soul searching could not obtain core Dao of the Sword secret arts, but drawing portraits could.

At worst, he would draw a few more people, and he would eventually collect all the powerful Dao of the Sword secret arts of Shu Mountain.

After a few breaths, Gu Changsheng nodded slightly, not even looking at the crowd, and transformed into a streak of light, shooting away.

In the distance, Gu Luosheng looked at Gu Changsheng's departing back, like a stray dog, his heart filled with humiliation, resentment, and many complex emotions.

"Li Daoyi..."

...A month later.

Immortal Cave.

Gu Changsheng put down his brush and ink, and on the scroll, a sword-wielding woman in green clothes, like an immortal, with a heroic and elegant aura, leaped onto the paper.

It was Gongsun Bu'er, the most famous among the Shu Mountain True Disciples.

Even Li Daoyi was slightly inferior.

This month, he had already secretly collected portraits of True Disciples and some Cave Profound Old Monster, obtaining many Shu Mountain True Disciple secret arts.

Among them, the most powerful were three.

Mystic Sword Body, Sword Heart Illumination Technique, and Wisdom Sword Technique.

Among them, after cultivating the Mystic Sword Body, one could generate Mystic power within the body, which could strengthen the Physical Body and enhance the power of sword techniques.

It could increase the power of sword techniques by up to three times.

The Sword Heart Illumination Technique, on the other hand, was to sacrifice the Heart Sword, the more effort put in, the greater the power of the sword technique.

It could increase the power of sword techniques by up to five times.

The Wisdom Sword Technique was a Soul Path sword technique, specifically targeting the two souls of Tianchong and Linghui in the life soul, diminishing one's wisdom.

It was extremely overbearing.

Paired with the Nine Nether Soul-Seizing Underworld Light, it was a killing move.

"Dao of the Sword secret arts are enough... it's time to improve my level..."

Gu Changsheng swallowed a large number of blood essence pearls, and a cold Qi burned in his abdomen, surging into his mind, and a vast amount of experience points washed over him.

At this moment.

Shu Mountain Enforcement Hall.

Old Ancestor Jinjian wept as he recounted his encounter: "I, Jinjian of the lower sect, if there is half a false word, I am willing to sink forever and be devoured by the Devil Head from beyond the heavens.

Please, Elder, uphold justice and punish the villain Li Daoyi."

Clatter—

A white jade teacup was thrown to the ground, shattering into pieces, and tea splattered everywhere.

Elder Yanxu's face changed drastically, and he furiously said: "Bastard, how dare Li Daoyi do such a thing!

Plundering a lower sect, if this gets out, what difference would there be between my Shu Mountain and the Demonic Path?"

"Order the Enforcement Hall to quickly apprehend Li Daoyi!"
