"Kid, taste the agony of the Ten Thousand Poison Heart!"
The poisonous smoke rolled in, emitting a pungent stench, withering the surrounding vegetation in an instant.
Gu Sheng stood at the center of the toxic smoke, yet his expression remained unchanged.
"Mere Earth Martial Realm, and you dare act presumptuously before me."
He grasped the air with his right hand, and a semi-transparent Qi Sword formed in his palm.
The sword’s blade was crystal clear, yet it emanated a heart-stopping sharpness.
"Beichen Immortal Slaying Sword!"
Gu Sheng let out a soft shout, and the Qi Sword in his hand slashed down fiercely.
In an instant, a dozen Sword Qi burning with golden flames appeared out of thin air, shooting towards the surroundings like meteors.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
The sound of Sword Qi piercing through flesh echoed continuously.
Seven black-clad Martial Artists didn’t even have time to scream before their bodies were pierced by the golden Sword Qi.
More terrifying was the flames attached to those Sword Qi which instantly incinerated their flesh, leaving not even ashes behind.
The Blood Centipede Guardian’s pupils shrunk abruptly, the sneer on his face frozen.
"This... this is impossible!"
Gu Sheng’s gaze was icy, the sword’s edge turned, and the remaining Sword Qi redirected to slaughter the Blood Centipede Guardian.
"Old poisonous creature, it’s your turn."
The Blood Centipede Guardian retreated in panic, but those Sword Qi were faster, catching up with him in the blink of an eye.
"No..."
Three Sword Qi pierced through the Blood Centipede Guardian’s chest, the golden flames enveloped him instantly.
His body twisted and burned in the flames, finally turning into a pile of ashes scattered in the wind.
Gu Sheng retracted the Qi Sword, exhaling gently.
"It’s done."
However, just at this moment, the Innate Spirit Embryo within him suddenly issued a warning.
"Be careful! That’s not the true body!"
Gu Sheng’s heart tightened, almost instinctively dodging to the left.
"Whoosh..."
A black curved blade slashed past his right shoulder, bringing up a spray of fresh blood.
If not for his timely dodge, that blade would have pierced his heart.
"Your reaction is quick."
A cold voice echoed behind Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng spun around abruptly, seeing the Blood Centipede Guardian standing there unscathed, a curved blade in his hand dripping with blood.
The "Blood Centipede Guardian" that had been burned to ashes earlier had now turned into a piece of talisman paper completely consumed by flames, falling to the ground.
"Substitute Talisman?"
Gu Sheng squinted his eyes.
The Blood Centipede Guardian sneered.
"That’s right, it’s the ’Illusion Centipede Substitute Talisman’ of my Five Poison Divine Sect. Kid, did you think this old man would be so easy to kill?"
The wound on Gu Sheng’s right shoulder throbbed, and he could feel a chilling poison penetrating his body.
He circulated his True Qi to temporarily suppress the poison.
"Despicable."
Gu Sheng said coldly.
"Heh... All’s fair in war."
The Blood Centipede Guardian licked the bloodstain on the curved blade.
"With my ’Blood Centipede Poison’, you won’t last long. Hand over the Treasure obediently, and I might give you a quick death."
Gu Sheng chuckled coldly.
