Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 334 First Confrontation_1

Lin Bai's words were sharp and incisive, and in just a few sentences, he had pushed Gu Chen into the eye of the storm, immediately making him the target of public criticism.

The heart of Shen Han, who stood behind Lin Bai, instantly relaxed, and in his gaze towards Lin Bai, a sincere admiration emerged.

As for the martial artists from the Tianxie Sect and the Rakshasa Sect, upon hearing Lin Bai's words, they nodded in approval, thinking that it was indeed worthy of their young master. Not only was he immensely gifted in cultivation talent, but his eloquence was equally sharp.

He had rendered the Martial Marquis of Da Xia speechless by splashing the dirty water right out, securing his own position in absolute safety.

At that moment, even Yuwen Wind and Ouyang Yu looked at Gu Chen with vigilant faces. They wondered whether the greatest opportunity in the spiritual realm was also known to the Six Union God Sect.

Of course, the news of Dugu Yun being alive was known to the six major holy lands; this was a remarkable existence. Even when the six major holy lands dealt with Dugu Yun back then, it had cost them quite a bit of effort.

But that was not all. Lin Bai continued, "Brother Gu, if you are not the young master of the Six Union God Sect, why is your killing intent so intense? Could it not be to help the Six Union God Sect collect essence blood? With all these incidents, how do you, Brother Gu, explain yourself?"

At this moment, everyone's gaze was firmly fixed on Gu Chen, waiting for him to speak.

But who would have thought that after Lin Bai had said so much, which seemed almost definite in the eyes of the public, Gu Chen was not only not tense in a situation where everyone viewed him as an adversary, he actually smiled.

"I didn't expect that, aside from your strong cultivation, you also have such a sharp tongue. This is quite a surprise to me," Gu Chen said, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"Brother Gu flatters me," Lin Bai responded with a smile. "With things having come this far, do you still refuse to admit it, Brother Gu?"

Gu Chen said, "Since you insist you are not the young master of the Six Union God Sect, and the Purple Extreme Sect has no collusion with the Six Union God Sect, and you are not familiar with Shen Han, why did you stand up for him when I confronted him?"

Lin Bai said, "I simply couldn't stand by and watch Brother Gu being so aggressive. Seeing injustice on the road, I lent a helping hand; it's that simple."@@@@

"What a gallant instance of 'seeing injustice on the road and lending a helping hand,'" Gu Chen said. "I didn't expect that one day I would hear such words from the mouth of the young master of the Six Union God Sect. I wonder what your sect leader Dugu Yun would think when he finds out?"

Upon hearing the name "Dugu Yun," people like Lu Xing and Bu Nantian immediately changed their expression.

Clearly, they did not know the news that Dugu Yun was still alive.

Lin Bai remained unperturbed, with victory in his grasp, and said with a light smile, "With things having come to this point, Brother Gu, you still won't admit it. Since you are so unwilling to give in, how do you intend to explain it, Brother Gu?"

"You want me to explain?" Gu Chen retorted.

"Yes, explain," Lin Bai nodded affirmatively, gazing intently at Gu Chen.

At that moment, the smile on Gu Chen's face disappeared, and his expression was calm, his eyes dark and deep. With an indifferent tone, he said something that surprised everyone present.

"Explain? I have no explanation, nor do I need to explain. If I say you are, then you are!"

Apparently, Lin Bai had not expected Gu Chen to play his cards in such an unconventional manner. His expression faltered, but then he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Gu is truly arrogant."

"Arrogant? There's nothing about being arrogant or not. I don't have the time to keep bickering with you here. Let's see the truth through action; let me see if your strength is as sharp as your words."

Gu Chen's physique gleamed with a bright luster, and his aura climbed steadily, quickly reaching a highly significant level, causing even the renowned wanderers of the six major holy lands to take notice.

And as for Lu Xing of the Beidou Sect, Bu Nantian of Qinglong Valley, and others, their expressions immediately became extremely serious.

There wasn't a mediocre person present; everyone could tell just how powerful Gu Chen was by sensing the magnitude of his aura.

Seeing Gu Chen about to take action, Lin Bai's pupils constricted briefly, but on the surface, he still maintained a relaxed smile and said, "It seems Brother Gu prefers to resort to force when he's in the wrong, is that it?"

"You talk too much!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai's expression tightened, and in the next instant, Gu Chen's fist seemed to swell infinitely in his eyes.

This punch, although Gu Chen used neither cultivation nor martial skills, still put immense pressure on Lin Bai with his unmatched physical body gained from walking the path toward physical sanctification.

Bang!

Caught off guard, Lin Bai crossed his arms in front of his chest and was sent flying by Gu Chen's punch.

"Young master!"

Seeing this, the warriors from Tianxie Sect and Rakshasa Sect became frantic.

"Hmph!"

Seeing himself being repelled by Gu Chen, Lin Bai finally showed some displeasure. He snorted lightly and charged back at an even greater speed.

At this moment, Lin Bai leaped high into the air, and from high above, he launched a powerful punch that weighed hugely down upon Gu Chen's face.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

Immediately after, the two resumed their fierce battle, lasting until the sixty-eighth exchange.

Boom!

The air exploded once again, and wave after wave of dense white crests turned into shockwaves like fearsome dragons, hitting all around. The terrifying boom drowned out everything, and everyone's ears rang so much that they could hear nothing and see nothing, their vision obscured by blank whiteness.

When their vision returned, Lin Bai along with Shen Han and others had vanished without a trace, with only Gu Chen remaining in the arena.

"Brother Gu is indeed worthy of being the young master of the Six Union God Sect, held in high esteem by the sect master, to be granted such martial skills. Lin Bai has learned his lesson. When we meet next time, I'll be ready to learn from your superior moves," Lin Bai's clear voice echoed from afar, but his figure had already completely disappeared.

Taking advantage of the situation, he had led Shen Han and his followers to escape.

"Quite the escape artist," Gu Chen said calmly, not taking to heart the words Lin Bai had just uttered.

For he knew that in this battle, Lin Bai had suffered a loss, which is why he retreated.

As for the slander thrown his way, Gu Chen paid it no mind at all; by the next confrontation, he didn't believe Lin Bai could still hide his identity when on the brink of death.

"He has some skill though."

Gu Chen did recognize Lin Bai's strength; having opened all 108 orifices truly was no common feat. In terms of physical strength, he was not inferior to Yuwen Wind from Vault of Sky Sword Sect, whom Gu Chen had fought before.

This proved that Lin Bai was truly a natural-born martial artist and had cultivated an indestructible Diamond Body; otherwise, he could not have matched Gu Chen to such an extent.

It was just a pity that physical prowess had always been Gu Chen's strong point, and this time Lin Bai had simply hit a steel wall.

At this time, the young man in black robes from Mount Tianzhu who had been silent and stern-faced all along suddenly looked at Gu Chen differently.

Because of the battle with Lin Bai, Gu Chen's clothes were slightly torn, revealing the treasured armor worn close to his body.

This armor was the Silkworm Armor that belonged to Chi Yan of Mount Tianzhu, one of the six sacred sites.

"How did Chi Yan's Silkworm Armor end up in your hands!"

With a swoosh, the black-robed man from Mount Tianzhu could no longer sit still. In an instant, he approached Gu Chen aggressively, reaching out to take the treasured armor from Gu Chen's body.
