Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu Chapter 56 – Chapter 56: Chapter 56: A Thousand Miles Alone, Jiguang Villain! With an Aura Like Swallowing the Sea, Sword Qi Across the Sky!

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: A Thousand Miles Alone, Jiguang Villain! With an Aura Like Swallowing the Sea, Sword Qi Across the Sky!

The three people were about to fight over it when Ye Yuntian stepped forward, the light of his sword extending nearly ten feet, and with a domineering swing decapitated the Lotus Cave disciple at the front.

“Everyone fall back and block the big snake!”

“Anyone who dares retreat again will be cut down!”

Seeing the headless corpse from a single sword blow, those cultivators finally regained some clarity.

They glared angrily at Ye Yuntian but reluctantly turned to attack the big snake.

Ye Yuntian raised his hand to retrieve a sword Gu, then raised his sword again, slashing viciously at the snake's neck, flaying its skin and causing blood to flow everywhere.

Unfortunately, Chen Qing did not expect that this was just the beginning.

The snake sprayed its venomous breath, and among the broken swords and small snakes, three streaks of green light flew by.

Three more sword Gu!

Things were going downhill!

The green lights landed around the cultivators, and as they watched the lights around them, their eyes started to fill with greed.

Just reach out, and tens of thousands of Spirit Stones would be theirs!

Just one reach was all it took!

A chill arose in Chen Qing's heart as he moved from the back of the battlefield, already gripping a Geng Metal Sword with deadly Sword Qi.

The crowd, who had planned to turn back for the sword Gu, became fearful when they saw the bronze ghost mask marching towards them filled with killing intent.

This was someone who could single-handedly kill dozens of Taiping Sect followers!

A lone wanderer.

Jiguang rogue!

Unfortunately, Chen Qing did not scare everyone away. A loose cultivator, about fifty years old, reached out and grabbed one of the green lights, stepping on the wind to quickly flee the battlefield.

In such a snowy day, with a fierce wind, do you dare to run away before my Sixth Transformation Wind Butterfly?

Chen Qing caught up with the fleeing loose cultivator in just three steps, and his Geng Metal Sword mercilessly fell!

The loose cultivator looked back, trying to block with his sword and retreat.

Amid the swirling snow, the cold wind roared.

Chen Qing swept through with his sword, cutting through both the man and his sword in one fell swoop.

The loose cultivator immediately bled to death on the spot, without a chance to resist.

Chen Qing didn't bother picking up the sword Gu, stood at the back of the battlefield leaning on his sword, and lowered his voice to rasp, “The sword Gu has already left the Sword Abyss, there's no difference in when you catch it, but if the big snake slips away, there'll be no other chance.”

“Once the big snake is dead, whoever fights for the sword Gu will do so with their own ability. I won't interfere.”

“But for now…”

“Don't force me to act!”

Everyone was instantly filled with fear, no longer daring to look at those sword Gu on the ground.

A sword Gu was good, but you needed your life to sell it.

Jiguang rogue never joked about killing, if he said he'd kill you, he'd kill you.

Plus, with the speed Chen Qing just displayed, it was clear that escaping was no easy task.

“I've never wished I hadn't come to join the commotion!”

“Still, joining a sect is better!”

“Now, retreating means certain death, we only have one way forward!”

“Let's go, kill that big snake first, and then we'll take the sword Gu!”

Chen Qing watched these loose cultivators with a mocking smile. Although they spoke with grandeur, their swords seemed weak.

It was certainly better than leaving entirely.

The most active ones were the four major factions.

They all knew that once the big snake was killed, the spirit Gu would end up in one of their hands.

But who it would belong to, they would decide with their swords after killing the big snake.

The battlefield grew fierce again, and though the Sword Ghosts kept dwindling in number due to their distance from the Sword Abyss, the cultivators' attacks intensified.

The snake's body was full of wounds at this point, with blood streaming.

Unfortunately, the snake's massive size meant the wounds weren't fatal.

It was like an ant biting a human—painful, but not lethal in a short period.

The snake slithered forward, plowing a bloodstained trench in the ground as if oblivious to the pain.

Its momentum was unstoppable, and its advance terrifying!

A careless cultivator failed to dodge and was crushed into pulp.

Seeing more cultivators closing in, the snake opened its mouth again, spraying out a dozen sword Gu along with broken sword debris and small snakes!

This time, a thin sheet glowing with golden light flew out into the distance.

“What is that?”

“Could it be that the spirit Gu sensed the snake's body deteriorating and ran out?”

“Has the spirit Gu escaped?”

“Chase it!”

In this situation, where the spirit Gu might have escaped, everyone was drawn toward the golden light.

Chen Qing watched from afar, then quickly withdrew and concealed himself.

People were blinded by the treasure, their minds lost to bloodlust.

Moreover, with the spirit Gu possibly having escaped, everyone chased after that golden light.

Chen Qing could see the information about Gu, so he was well aware of its location. The Snake Gu hadn't escaped, it was still inside the big snake's body.

Amid the chaos, Chen Qing clearly saw Yu Qingshuang about to reach the golden light first.

He immediately picked up a branch, hid a bit of Sword Qi within, and shot it out to trip Yu Qingshuang, causing her to lose the opportunity to grab it first.

Silly girl!

Although her swordsmanship had improved, she still underestimated people's hearts.

In front of so many people, whoever grabbed the treasure first would die first!

Despite Yu Qingshuang's initial advantage, the golden light ultimately landed in the hands of a disciple from Wuyou Mountain. Just when Gao Tian picked up the golden light, his expression drastically changed.

Blood began to seep from his orifices, and though he tried to speak, no words emerged.

The next moment, his body exploded into a bloody rain, and the golden light in his hands flew out due to the body burst.

Everyone looked at the falling point of the golden light, only to find an old Daoist wearing a Lotus Crown and Lotus Robe walking with ghost-like movements.

He arrived from several dozen feet away in an instant, leaving afterimages behind.

His cheeks were sunken, appearing gaunt, and in his right hand, he held a horsetail whisk.

With a flick of his left hand's sleeve, he easily plucked the golden light into his palm.

The Lotus Fairy was overjoyed to see him, exclaiming, “Grandfather!”

The Lotus Cave Cave Master Qiu Feng held the golden light between his fingers, and upon dispersing the treasure's golden light with Spiritual Energy, his face drastically changed, “It's a sword scripture!”

Everyone clearly saw that what the Cave Master held was just a golden scripture page, far from being a spirit Gu.

Qiu Feng, with his hair standing on end as if driven by a vendetta, roared furiously, “How dare you deceive me, you wretched creature!”

He had risked interrupting despite the danger of being seen by Wuyou Mountain and Wutong Mountain, only to end up with just a sword scripture page!

How could he bear it?

He waved his sleeve, and everyone felt the surrounding spiritual pressure abruptly increase. The snow within a radius of dozens of feet was forcibly compressed by a foot!

Wild winds raged, driving everyone's bodies backward, while some, with the activation of Gu, barely held their ground.

A few less skilled loose cultivators without the Power Gu were blown three feet away, tumbling on the ground.

Chen Qing hid beneath a snowy slope, watching the terrifying scene, exclaiming in his heart,

“Is this Foundation Establishment?”

“Is the power of Foundation Establishment really this terrifying?”

Qiu Feng leaped into the air, looking at the big snake already retreating into the forest. He advanced several steps and caught up with the snake.

“Vile creature, where do you think you're going!”

Sensing mortal danger blocking its path, the snake opened its mouth, spewing out a swarm of small snakes and two sword Gu into the forest.

Qiu Feng ignored the sword Gu, waving his horsetail whisk. Instantly, a hundred sharp swords hovered in the air.

The energy was like a devouring ocean, and the Sword Qi soared to the heavens!

He waved the horsetail whisk again, pressing it downwards. The hundred swords fell together, pouring towards the snake like a rainstorm.

With just one strike, the mountains crumbled and the earth cracked!

Within dozens of feet, dust rose and the earth split, with broken trees flying everywhere.

The Sword Qi surged like angry currents, the wind raging, turning snow into blades.

Swords pierced through the snake, slicing bloody streaks, but the snake remained undeterred, focused solely on escaping, using its blood-soaked body to rush deeper into the forest.

Everyone dared only watch from afar, not daring to approach for fear of being killed by the furious Foundation Establishment in the chaos of swords.

Chen Qing's eyes narrowed sharply; if he was not mistaken, within the last mouthful of small snakes and sword Gu the snake released, he saw the spirit Gu!

The spirit Gu was indeed clever, first using the sword scripture to attract attention, then slipping into a small snake, ready to escape.

No wonder the snake, though blinded, could still find its way—because the Snake Gu was truly attached to one of the small snakes.

But alas, none of this escaped Chen Qing's eyes.

He turned and dove into the forest; if he was not mistaken, the small snake had flown in this direction.

Looking back, he saw Qiu Feng and the big snake fighting, the earth shaking and flesh flying, a chaotic spectacle.

Since no one else was interested, Chen Qing would gladly accept it.
