At this moment, from the depths of the Qingfeng Faction''s gate, a long howl resounded, followed by billowing dark and cold ck mist appearing and rushing toward Gu Chen.


    Seeing this, Gu Chen''s expression remained indifferent. The internal energy within him, reaching as high as six hundred years, suddenly surged, and ayer of scorching me waves erupted from the pores all over his body, incinerating any ck mist that tried to approach and invade him into nothingness.


    Whoosh!


    A shadowy figure d in ck suddenly appeared in front of Gu Chen, violently mming a palm toward him.


    Gu Chen, unfazed, countered with offense, throwing a punch. With a loud ''bang,'' the figure trembled and staggered backward.


    The person before him was none other than Wei Jiang, who had fled in disgrace from Xu''an County after being defeated by Chen Yu.


    "It seems you are the hall master of the Red me Demon Sect''s Red Demon Hall," Gu Chen said to Wei Jiang with a hint of indifference.


    Wei Jiang frowned; he had not expected that Gu Chen, who had seemed no more than an ant before him just a few months ago, now actually had the capacity to spar with him.


    Moreover, from that single strike just now, Wei Jiang had felt the surging internal energy from Gu Chen''s body, along with that terrifying force.


    Such a talent was truly demonic, the speed of cultivation improvement too swift, startling Wei Jiang. Even by devouring the flesh of demons and ghosts to increase his power, he could not match the rapid progression of Gu Chen.


    No wonder the Red me Demon Sect was so intent on killing Gu Chen.


    Wei Jiang''s gaze swept over and immediately fixed on the Divine Weapon Blood Shadow Sword hanging at Gu Chen''s waist, his eyes filling with intense wariness.


    But verbally, Wei Jiang refused to submit. He looked at Gu Chen and said coldly, "Youngster, have youe here seeking death?"


    Upon hearing these words, Gu Chenughed and responded, "What gives you the confidence to talk to me like that?"


    Hearing Gu Chen''s words, Wei Jiang let out a cold snort and said, "Arrogant! Today, this will be your burial ground. Killing you will surely pain Chen Yu''s heart!"


    At once, waves of ck mist surged forward, and one fierce gaze after another targeted Gu Chen—each belonging to a demon or ghost.


    Seeing this, Gu Chen''s expression brightened with excitement; this was exactly what he had been waiting for!


    At that moment, Wei Jiang let out a roaring shout, and his body too began to emanate bursts of ck qi. After his battle with Chen Yu in Xu''an County, he recognized his shorings and, upon returning here, had searched everywhere for blood offerings to feed the demons within him.


    At this moment, the malevolent level demon inside him was only a step away from advancing to the middle phase of the malevolent level, and once that happened, he too would be nourished in return, and would directly advance to be a Returning to True Stage entity!


    Wei Jiang, who had long reached the great culmination of the Gang Qi Stage, after many years, finally saw a glimpse of hope for breaking through to the Returning to True Stage.


    As long as he devoured Gu Chen''s flesh and blood, he would certainly break through today, refine the gangqi into truth, and be a true immortal!


    At this point, Gu Chen, in the eyes of Wei Jiang, was the most sumptuous meal.


    It was for this reason that Wei Jiang did not fear Gu Chen.


    Inside him, the malevolent level demon roared, and countless streams of ck qi surged toward Gu Chen like wild snakes.


    Simultaneously, within the nearby ck mist, a malevolent level demon apanied by several ghostly level demons rushed toward Gu Chen.


    Moreover, the fighters of the demon sect, led by the Qingfeng Faction''s leader, all charged toward him together, nning to besiege Gu Chen.


    Seeing the numerous fighters of the demon sect bearing down on him powerfully, Gu Chen remainedposed and calmly shouted, "Blood Shadow!"


    With a whooshing sound, the Blood Shadow Sword hanging at Gu Chen''s waist unsheathed itself and flew in front of him, where he grasped it with his hand.


    "Fine, then let them all witness the power of a divine weapon!"


    Gu Chen''s eyes turned cold. Holding the Blood Shadow Sword, he swung it fiercely, and immediately, a sharp sword qi shot forth from the de, its keen edge enveloping heaven and earth.


    This single sword stroke drained nearly one-third of Gu Chen''s internal energy!


    The divine weapon''s power was terrifying, but the consumption was equally so. This was why Gu Chen was reluctant to use the divine weapon lightly.


    If he couldn''t kill his enemy within a few moves, then the one to die would be Gu Chen.

    As he swung out this sword qi, even the void seemed to be cleaved open, rippling inyers. Feeling this sharp qi, Wei Jiang and the others immediately changed their expressions, with some fighters even sensing a deadly threat.


    Sss!


    The dreadful sword qi seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth, and with but a single stroke, swathes of fighters copsed like mowed wheat, their blood spattering all over and flowing continuously, turning the ground red with a nose-stinging smell of blood.


    "Ahhh!"


    The ghostly level demons also let out a tragic cry and were shattered by the sword qi.


    As for the malevolent level demon, although it was affected by the sword qi, it did not perish immediately, its shattered body slowly regenerating.


    "Great Red Demon Saber!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    At that moment, Wei Jiang, who had evaded that previous attack from a distance, let out an angry shout and once again executed the Superior Martial Skill of the Red me Demon Sect.


    The long saber, wreathed in pitch-ck demon mes, appeared above Gu Chen''s head and cleaved down toward him from the sky.


    Hum!


    At that moment, Gu Chen''s body shone with golden light as he activated the Golden Bell Shield''s dragon and tiger roar, and the protective golden bell emerged on the surface of his body, blocking Wei Jiang''s Great Red Demon Saber attack.


    Along with the evolution of the malevolent level demon inside him, Wei Jiang''s strength had also improved significantlypared to when he faced Chen Yu in Xu''an County.


    Now, he was not far off from Wu Jian, the number one assassin of the ck List from Blood Shadow Building who had once attempted to assassinate Gu Chen in Qiongtian City!


    It''s no wonder that Wei Jiang was so confident, believing that even though Gu Chen wielded the Divine Weapon Blood Shadow Sword, he still dared to engage inbat.
