Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Bang!

The disciple from the Sunset Sword Sect reacted extremely quickly. The instant the chair smashed behind him, he drew his sword and sliced the chair thrown by Gu Chen into two halves.

"Do you have a death wish?" the disciple from the Sunset Sword Sect asked, his face dark with anger, as he looked at Gu Chen.

Seeing this, the other disciples from the Sunset Sword Sect also stopped their fight against Luo Feng, turning their heads to glare furiously at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen remained calm and said, "Who gave you the audacity to make trouble in broad daylight within the Huaiyang City?"

"Ha!"

Upon hearing this, the lead disciple from the Sunset Sword Sect sneered, "What did you say?"

The other martial artists present looked at Gu Chen with a look of disbelief, as if looking at a fool.

"To say nothing of me making a move here, even if I were to tear down this inn, no one could do anything to me!" the disciple from the Sunset Sword Sect coldly said, his arrogance evident in his tone.

At the same time, his gaze swept over to the innkeeper. The innkeeper immediately shrank his neck and turned his head away, not daring to utter a single word.

Gu Chen frowned slightly and said, "Such rampant behavior, does the local government not intervene?"

"The local government?"

The disciples from the Sunset Sword Sect laughed as if they had heard a joke. After a while, one retorted, "What ignorant country bumpkin has come here? You're clueless to the point of stupidity. Haven't you heard about the relationship between our Elder Brother Zheng from the Sunset Sword Sect and the local officials?"

The other martial artists also whispered among themselves, "Where did this outsider come from? He dares to act rashly without knowing anything; now he's in trouble."

When Gu Chen heard the name "Zheng Yan," he instantly understood.

The dossier given by the Jing Tian Department mentioned part of Zheng Jinan's background. Zheng Yan was indeed the only son of Zheng Jinan.

And Zheng Jinan had an exceptionally close relationship with the magistrate of Huaiyang City. It was no wonder then that with the backing of the Sunset Sword Sect, these people had been fighting for so long without anyone intervening.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Luo Feng suddenly dashed and leaped out the window to escape. His movements were incredibly fast, and he disappeared from the crowded street in just a few flashes.

"Damn it!"

By the time the disciples from the Sunset Sword Sect realized what happened, Luo Feng was long gone. They redirected their hostility towards Gu Chen.

"So, you're in cahoots with that scoundrel Luo Feng. If it weren't for you, he could never have escaped our grasp today!"

Seeing Luo Feng's escape, the disciples of the Sunset Sword Sect vented their rage on Gu Chen.

"Get over here!"

One of the disciples from the Sunset Sword Sect barked at Gu Chen, demanding him to come over and apologize.

It must be said, these disciples from the Sunset Sword Sect had become accustomed to being overbearing. They had no qualms about starting fights in the city and wreaking havoc on the innocent. Now they even had the gall to demand Gu Chen come over and apologize.

Hearing this, Gu Chen immediately laughed. Anyone who had spoken to him like that had never ended well.

"You still dare to laugh?!"

One of the disciples, in the middle stage of the Meridian Opening Realm from the Sunset Sword Sect, saw Gu Chen's reaction as a provocation. With a cold face, he stepped forward, reached out his hand to grab Gu Chen by the neck, and attempted to lift him into the air.

"Foolishness!"

Gu Chen's expression was cold. As soon as he spoke, without any visible movement from him, the disciple who had just reached out to grab him was sent flying through the air, vomiting three mouthfuls of blood while still mid-flight.

"Insolence!"

"Audacity!"

Seeing this, the other disciples from the Sunset Sword Sect were immediately enraged. There were eight of them in total, and the remaining seven, with swords in hand, swiftly surrounded Gu Chen.

The leader of the group on site, named Chen Song, had a grim face. Wielding his sword, he made a vicious move by thrusting it directly at Gu Chen's throat, clearly intending to kill. His actions were both a show of strength and a proclamation of the might of the Sunset Sword Sect.

```

There's no denying that the Sunset Sword Sect is domineering to the extreme, with no regard for right or wrong. They dare to strike, regardless of the situation or identity, as long as someone defies them.

If their disciples behave this way, can the ones in charge really be any better?

Actually, the strength of these Sunset Sword Sect disciples isn't weak. If Gu Chen hadn't made his breakthrough, facing them might have been dicey, but now the situation is quite different.

"Who gave you the right to point your sword at me?" Gu Chen's facial expression turned stern as a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Die!"

Chen Song had a fierce look, and the force in his hand did not lessen as the tip of his sword thrust straight for Gu Chen's throat.

Clang!

A crisp sound of sword clashing rang out, and to the shock of everyone present, Gu Chen broke Chen Song's long sword with his bare hands.

Shh!

With a casual flick, Gu Chen threw the broken sword tip, which grazed Chen Song's cheek, leaving behind a trail of blood.

"Elder Brother Chen!"

The other Sunset Sword Sect disciples exclaimed in shock at the sight.

Chen Song himself was stunned, unable to believe Gu Chen possessed such strength. But the Sunset Sword Sect was standing behind him, so even now, he showed no fear whatsoever.

"I am a disciple of the Sunset Sword Sect; you dare hurt me, beware lest your whole family be exterminated!" Chen Song said threateningly.

This remark instantly touched Gu Chen's raw nerve. His face became grim, his gaze piercing. With a slight step forward, the entire establishment seemed unable to bear this weight, beginning to shake and nearly collapsing.

Chen Song felt apprehensive, but the arrogance honed over the years made him stick to a pattern. In past encounters, just hearing the four words "Sunset Sword Sect" would prompt even experts of the outer realms to switch their attitude by a full one hundred and eighty degrees. He never imagined there would be someone in the nine provinces who would completely disregard the Sunset Sword Sect.

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted, stirring up a gust of wind inside the tavern. The 151 years of internal breath within Gu Chen surged through his 35 opened meridians, and without even launching an attack, he had already intimidated everyone present.

"Such terrifying cultivation!"

Feeling this momentum, everyone's faces changed color.

"You..."

Before Chen Song could complete his words, Gu Chen's figure flashed, and with a touch of his palm from afar, without using any martial arts, just the force of the internal breath from 151 years of cultivation caused all the Sunset Sword Sect disciples in front to be blown away.

"Pfft!"

Each of them vomited three mouthfuls of blood in midair, just like the previous man, and then fell haphazardly to the ground, continuous moaning filling the air.

At that moment, Gu Chen approached Chen Song. Even now, Chen Song's mouth was hard, unwilling to submit, still trying to intimidate Gu Chen. But Gu Chen kicked out, breaking his jaw, silencing him completely.

"Ah..."

Chen Song, lying on the ground, screamed miserably, his eyes filled with malice as he looked at Gu Chen.

Seeing that he was as defiant as a pig unafraid of boiling water, Gu Chen's eyes were cold and merciless, no longer holding back, ready to finish him with one blow.

It was only at this moment, at such close distance, feeling the genuine killing intent from Gu Chen, that Chen Song finally felt fear. His face filled with panic, his throat moved continuously, trying to say something, but with his jaw broken, he could only make unintelligible noises, unable to form a single coherent sentence.

Just as Gu Chen was about to deliver the killing blow, the tavern's manager suddenly rushed out, hugged Gu Chen, and pleaded on his knees: "Esteemed hero, please... please spare them..."

Gu Chen's brows furrowed upon seeing this.

"Esteemed hero, please spare them. They are disciples of the Sunset Sword Sect. If these people die here today, my tavern can no longer operate, and even, even my family and I may lose our lives..." the tavern manager pleaded on the ground, continuously begging Gu Chen.

Gu Chen's brow slightly furrowed and, after a moment, ultimately did not deliver the killing blow. He turned his head to the disciples of the Sunset Sword Sect lying on the ground and shouted, "Scram!"

Hearing this, those Sunset Sword Sect disciples scrambled to their feet, helped Chen Song up, and without looking back, fled as if in a disaster, using their fastest speed to escape the scene.

After the Sunset Sword Sect members were gone, the tavern manager let out a long sigh and slumped to the ground, not getting up for quite some time.

A few martial artists approached and looked at Gu Chen with concern, saying, "Young hero, do you realize the grave trouble you've just stirred up!"
