Chapter 1299: Chapter 673: Sword Qi (2)

Tang Zhiyuan nodded, then suddenly asked.

"What about Ling Xiao? You don’t want to deal with him together?"

Ke Yucheng shook his head.

"Ling Xiao has been in seclusion lately, and... I always feel he’s even more dangerous than Gu Sheng. Let’s take care of one first."

While the two were plotting, in another cave mansion on Three Days Peak, Wang Yuchen was sitting cross‑legged at the center of the Spirit Gathering Array, Spiritual Power surging around him.

Ever since he lost to Ling Xiao last time, he had shut himself away in bitter cultivation, vowing to wash away his humiliation.

"Ling Xiao... Gu Sheng..."

Wang Yuchen gnashed his teeth, his hands changing spell seals as Spiritual Power roared through his meridians.

Suddenly, a series of soft knocks at the door interrupted his cultivation.

"Who?!"

Wang Yuchen’s eyes snapped open, bloodshot and furious.

The rage of having his cultivation interrupted was almost about to erupt.

"Senior Brother Wang, I am the new Disciple Liang Yu. I have an important matter to report."

A respectful yet uneasy voice sounded from outside the door.

"New Disciple?"

Wang Yuchen let out a cold laugh, flicked his sleeve, and the stone door boomed open as an invisible force dragged the person outside straight in.

Liang Yu only felt his vision blur before he was heavily slammed onto the stone floor.

He scrambled to his feet, forcing down the pain to bow.

"Senior Brother Wang, please quell your anger. I truly have an urgent matter..."

"A rookie who just passed the entry-level, what urgent matter could you possibly have?"

Wang Yuchen looked down at Liang Yu from on high, releasing his Spiritual Power pressure without the slightest restraint.

Cold sweat seeped from Liang Yu’s forehead, but he still persisted.

"It concerns the true identities of Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao..."

Deep in the cave of Xuanming Divine Mountain.

Gu Sheng sat cross‑legged, his bare upper body beaded with fine sweat, glinting a bronzed sheen under the dim light.

The torn scraps of clothing scattered around silently told of the violent scene from his earlier cultivation.

"Hah!"

With a low shout, dozens of razor‑sharp strands of Sword Qi suddenly burst from within Gu Sheng, carving sword marks of varying depth into the stone walls.

Stone fragments flew, dust billowed, and the entire cave trembled faintly.

Gu Sheng’s eyes snapped open, two tangible streaks of Sword Intent shooting from his pupils, piercing straight through the thick mountain wall.

With a thunderous boom, two bottomless craters were blasted open outside the cave, sending plumes of dust soaring into the sky.

"Cough, cough... Gu Sheng! Can you damn well be a little more careful!"

Not far away, Ling Xiao was choked into coughing by the dense smoke and had no choice but to pull himself out of his cultivation state.

He waved his sleeve to scatter the dust, revealing a handsome face laced with helplessness.

Only then did Gu Sheng notice his own sorry state. He rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

"Sorry, I lost control for a moment."

Ling Xiao’s gaze ran up and down his bare torso, the corner of his mouth curling in mockery.

"Tell me, this is already the third time this month, isn’t it? Don’t tell me you actually have some special kink?"

"Get lost!"

Gu Sheng cursed with a laugh, taking out a new set of tight black clothes from his Storage Ring and changing into them.

"When cultivating the Heavenly Sorrow Sword, Sword Qi leaks out. Clothes getting shredded is perfectly normal."

Ling Xiao curled his lip and casually tossed over a jug of Spiritual Wine.

"Yeah, right. You’re just the one who doesn’t care whether you live or die when you cultivate."

Gu Sheng caught the jug and raised his head, taking a long swig. The fiery liquid slid down his throat, driving out the chill of residual Sword Qi within him.

He wiped the corner of his mouth, his eyes gleaming.

"What about you? How’s that Heavenly Rank Martial Technique coming along?"

"First Level at Great Success."

Ling Xiao shook the wine jug, not without pride.

"I may not be as freakish as you, but among our peers I’m still top‑tier."

Gu Sheng chuckled at that and raised one finger.

"One Heavenly Rank Martial Technique at Perfect First Level."

He paused, then raised a second finger.

"Plus one Earth Rank Martial Technique, also at Perfect First Level."

"What?!"

Ling Xiao almost choked on his wine, eyes widening.

"When did you pick up another Earth Rank Martial Technique?"

"While you were obsessing over that Phantom Step."

A sly look flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes.

"So, want to spar a bit?"

Ling Xiao waved his hands repeatedly.

"Spare me, spare me. Sparring with a monster like you is just asking to be abused."

He sighed, a hint of envy in his tone.

"I really don’t get how you cultivate. We joined the Sect at the same time..."

Gu Sheng only smiled without answering and took another swig of wine. Just
