At the entrance of the grand hall, a tall black-clad figure walked in unhurriedly.
The newcomer was dressed in black, his face cold and chiseled as if carved by a knife. In his hand, he held an ancient longsword, its blade stained with blood, dragging a crimson trail on the ground.
What was most shocking was that he showed no trace of spiritual power, yet exuded an unfathomable oppressive aura.
"Who are you?"
Mo Tianxie squinted his eyes, his gaze serpent-like as it scanned the newcomer.
The young man in black raised his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
"Gu Sheng."
The simple utterance of two words caused the temperature in the hall to plummet abruptly.
"Gu Sheng?"
Mo Tianxie furrowed his brows in thought, then sneered coldly.
"An insignificant nobody dares to intrude upon my Five Poison Sect? Courting death!"
Gu Sheng curled his lips in mockery.
"Master Mo seems to have forgotten. Half a month ago, outside Golden Crow City, you severely wounded a Martial Artist named Gu Lie. Do you still remember?"
Mo Tianxie was initially stunned, then realized.
"Oh? That old fool who overestimated himself? I merely swatted away an ant. What, are you here to avenge him?"
"He is my father."
Gu Sheng’s voice was calm, yet it sent a chill through everyone present.
Upon hearing this, Mo Tianxie laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, so that’s it! That old fool was struck by my Five Poison Heart Devouring Palm. By now, he’s probably turned into a pool of blood and pus!"
Killing intent surged in Gu Sheng’s eyes, and the ancient sword in his hand began to hum.
"So, I came to seek an explanation."
"Seek an explanation?"
Mo Tianxie grinned wickedly.
"Boy, do you know where you are? This is the main hall of my Five Poison Sect! You came alone, merely to court death!"
With a sudden wave of his hand, dozens of elite disciples emerged from around the hall, each wielding a poison blade, surrounding Gu Sheng.
"Kneel and beg for mercy now, and perhaps I can grant you a swift death."
Mo Tianxie said sinisterly.
"Otherwise, you’ll taste the Ten Thousand Poison Heart pain!"
Gu Sheng looked around, his expression unchanged.
"Is this all?"
"Arrogant!"
Mo Tianxie shouted angrily.
"Take him down!"
Dozens of disciples attacked simultaneously, various colors of poisonous fog, needles, and blades raining down on Gu Sheng like a storm.
Gu Sheng stood still, only lightly raising the ancient sword in his hand.
"Broken Wind."
With the utterance of those two words, the ancient sword suddenly burst into a blinding blue light. A sweep of sword qi shot out, dispersing the poisonous fog, shattering poison needles, and breaking poison blades wherever it passed.
"Ah!"
Screams echoed incessantly. Dozens of disciples flew backward, crashing into the stone pillars of the hall, vomiting blood uncontrollably. Some were even cut in half by the sword qi, their internal organs spilling onto the ground.
Mo Tianxie’s pupils constricted sharply.
"A Spiritual Artifact?!"
Gu Sheng flicked the blood pearls off his sword and stepped forward slowly.
"Now, it’s between us."
Mo Tianxie’s face was as dark as water.
"Boy, don’t think you can act recklessly just because you have a Spiritual Artifact! I am at the peak of the Xuanwu Realm and hold a Heavenly Rank Spirit Talisman, killing you is as easy as slaughtering a dog!"
"Is that so?"
Gu Sheng sneered.
"Then why are you trembling?"
Mo Tianxie was enraged by the words yet found his palms sweating. The oppressive aura this young man exuded was even stronger than when facing the Golden Crow City Lord.
"Courting death!"
Mo Tianxie roared furiously, his palms exuding a purplish-black poisonous light.
"Five Poison Heart Devouring Palm!"
The palm wind howled, carrying a stench-filled poisonous fog towards Gu Sheng.
Where the poisonous fog passed, the stone slabs of the floor corroded into pits, showcasing the intensity of the poison.
Gu Sheng neither dodged nor evaded, instead sheathing his sword and clenching his right fist, punching directly towards the poisonous palm.
"Courting death!"
Mo Tianxie grimaced.
"Daring to take my poisonous palm head-on!"
Fist and palm collided, and an energy wave exploded.
"Pugh—"
Mo Tianxie spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body flying out like a cut kite, crashing heavily onto the main seat of the grand hall, smashing the jade chair into pieces.
"Sect Leader!"
The disciples exclaimed.
Mo Tianxie struggled to rise, yet a smug look appeared on his face.
