NOVPUBDong Ziwei clutched his severed fingers, his face adorned with an undisguised cold sneer. He looked at Gu Chen with malice, hoping Gu Chen would hurry up and die.
Even though he was locked in by the aura of two warriors at the peak of the Returning to True Stage, Gu Chen remained calm and composed, unruffled and at ease.
At this moment, the demons brought by the two great demonic sects also began slaughtering the remaining warriors from the first-rate forces.
"Kill him!"
The two powerhouses exchanged a glance and charged at Gu Chen together. They had come this time to extract vital blood, and the more powerful the cultivation, the greater the effect of the vital blood would naturally be.
Especially for Gu Chen, who had achieved the Indestructible Body of Vajra, obtaining his vital blood would definitely take that Disaster Level demon to the next level!
Boom!
At that moment, the two warriors at the peak of the Returning to True Stage took action against Gu Chen simultaneously. Knowing that Gu Chen had a divine weapon, they were extremely cautious, afraid of Gu Chen’s desperate counterattack, hence they attacked together.
With only one divine weapon, no matter who Gu Chen struck, the outcome was already predetermined.
"Ao!"
Then, a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering dragon roar resonated, and rich golden light bloomed on Gu Chen’s body. The exuberant vital energy in his body was unleashed without any restraint. The pale golden vital energy filled the void, cloaking him in a layer of divine radiance.
Gu Chen raised his hand and shot out two dragon-shaped energy strikes, blasting towards the two men.
"Child’s play!"
The two real beings snorted coldly. Their bodies overflowed with surging Gangqi, like two hurricanes bursting forth, and with just a casual strike, they shattered the diving Golden Dragon Illusion.
"Dragon and Tiger’s Roar!"
Just then, Gu Chen let out a low roar, his black hair dancing in the wind, his dark clothes rustling, and splendor glowing from his palms and fingers. A intertwined dragon and tiger illusion sprang forth in a fierce attack.
Seeing this ferocious strike, Kui Gang, who was fighting the remaining warriors at the Returning to True Stage from the two great demonic sects, was taken aback. The White Tiger Clan visualized the holy spirit of the White Tiger, and Gu Chen’s Dragon and Tiger’s Roar also encompassed the true form of the White Tiger.
The strangeness and power of it prompted a thought in Kui Gang regarding Gu Chen’s signature technique.
Boom!
A sound akin to thunderclap resounded. Even Gu Chen’s full-force Dragon and Tiger’s Roar couldn’t inflict any damage on the two warriors at the peak of the Returning to True Stage. After all, the gap in their cultivation levels was simply too vast.
Gu Chen’s expression turned solemn. He knew that in a contest of cultivation, he would be no match for them. Only by engaging in close combat would he stand a sliver of a chance.
"Blood Shadow!"
Gu Chen bellowed, and the Blood Shadow Sword hanging at his waist was unsheathed instantly, turning into a rainbow streak that intercepted the warrior from the Holy Shadows Sect at the peak of the Returning to True Stage.
Swish!
Simultaneously, Gu Chen’s figure flashed. He stepped on the Controlling Wind Step Shadows, his body seemingly becoming a fleeting breeze at that moment. He moved swiftly, in an instant approaching the Black Sky Sect warrior at the peak of the Returning to True Stage.
Thud!
Gu Chen’s eyes were cold and fierce, his body dazzling with golden light, even his hair turning to a light gold colour. He swung his fist, causing the void to tremble unstoppably at that moment—the force of his punch was incredibly heavy!
The warrior from the Black Sky Sect’s eyes turned icy as he desired to gauge Gu Chen’s strength. He didn’t believe that with his cultivation at the peak of the Returning to True Stage and his robust Gangqi, he would still be no match for Gu Chen.
Bang!
The two clashed fiercely, and the warrior from the Black Sky Sect’s expression changed as he stumbled backward several yards.
Swish!
Gu Chen was unrelenting, pressing forward once again while the Dragon and Tiger Illusions manifested behind him. His blood qi surged to the extreme, a pale golden color spreading all around as if just his physical body could collapse the fabric of space. His hands and fingers contained a fierce and unparalleled grand fist intent, striking towards his enemy.
Boom!
This time, the warrior at the Returning to True Stage with full circle learned his lesson and did not clash head-on with Gu Chen again. With a woosh, he retreated backward. Simultaneously, as his true Gangqi surged within, an illusory figure of a ferocious-looking evil deity emerged behind him.
Bang!
The palm of the evil deity’s illusion struck out, resembling a small mountain pressing down from the heavens, colliding with Gu Chen’s pure and crystal-clear fist. Gu Chen’s body shook at once, and a trickle of fresh blood ran from the corner of his mouth.
He was wounded!
As expected, a warrior with the full circle of the Returning to True Stage was not someone he could match at this time, unless it was in close combat where he could have the upper hand. However, the opponent would not give him that chance.
Once distance was put between them and with the opponent’s advantage of cultivation level for suppression, Gu Chen would decidedly not be a match and there was a high possibility he would die right there.
At that moment, the warrior from the Holy Shadows Sect also broke free from the constraints of the Blood Shadow Sword, his figure flashed as he charged toward Gu Chen.
"Eight Desolate Azure Dragon Strength!"
Gu Chen let out a long howl, an Azure Dragon Illusion emerged behind him, vast in size and majestic in demeanor, as if descending from the heavens along with a resounding dragon’s roar, rushing towards the two attackers.
Following that, Gu Chen activated the Great Sun True Skill, his Gangqi flowing through his limbs and bones. With a lift of his hand, a thick and scorching sword qi shot out.

It was indeed the Superior Martial Skill—True Yang Sword Finger!
"Diamond Indestructible!"
That was not all, Gu Chen’s expression turned solemn as he pushed his physical potential to the max. A mystical power emerged from the depths of his body; bursts of golden light spewed out from all the pores around his body as his vital energy surged to the skies.
Crack!
At this moment, it was as if thunder roared through the void. Gu Chen clenched his fist and threw out a punch, the punch radiated a blinding light with countless rays emanating from it.
In just a brief moment, Gu Chen consecutively unleashed three deadly techniques, each move flowing smoothly into the next. All who saw it couldn’t help but twitch their eyelids.
"Evil God’s Light!"
The warrior from the Black Sky Sect, at the full circle of the Returning to True Stage, snorted coldly, driving the evil deity’s illusion behind him. The illusion threw its head back and howled, firing beam after beam of black light.
These collided with the Azure Dragon Illusion and the thick sword qi Gu Chen had produced, suddenly causing countless rocks and soil to blast skywards within dozens of feet, shaking the ground violently.
At the same time, the warrior from the Holy Shadows Sect used a secret technique, sending an invisible force to strike at Gu Chen’s spirit. Gu Chen grunted, his body freezing on the spot for a split second.
Had it not been for the protective Diamond Indestructible technique, that single blow might have caused him severe damage.
And his punch was also caught by the two men, who counterattacked with a strike, sending Gu Chen flying through the air.
Wu Changyun and the others were astounded to see Gu Chen last so long against a full circle Returning to True Stage warrior. If it were they who were fighting, they would have been defeated within five rounds.
Of course, despite this, they still didn’t hold much hope for Gu Chen, feeling that his death was certain today.
Gu Chen was flung more than thirty feet away. While he had sustained some injuries, none were fatal.
This was testament to the formidable strength of Gu Chen’s Diamond Indestructible physique. If not for having such a resilient body, a casual strike from the two strong opponents could have cost him half his life.
The warriors from the two demonic sects pursued their advantage, unwilling to give Gu Chen any opportunity, intending to cut him down right there and then.
But at this point, Gu Chen let out a long howl and called, "Lord Wang, are you not prepared to take action yet!"
