"You!" Gu Sheng roared angrily, his figure swiftly dodging. Meanwhile, he activated the Wheel Sea secret realm within him, and a powerful aura erupted from his body.
"Boom——"
Visions of mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, birds, and exotic beasts emerged from the Life Force Wheel beneath Gu Sheng's navel, with golden waves surging endlessly, the aura's might reaching the sky. This was the embodiment of Gu Sheng's cultivation, and it was his trump card against external enemies.
Jiang Hanzhong and the others saw this, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes. They hadn't expected Gu Sheng's cultivation to be so profound, nor that he could manifest such a powerful vision.
This did not deter them. On the contrary, it strengthened their resolve to obtain the Divine Medicine. Jiang Hanzhong sneered and launched another attack on Gu Sheng.
But Gu Sheng was not afraid. His figure flickered, dodging Jiang Hanzhong's attack. At the same time, he countered with a backhand strike, sending a golden handprint crashing toward Jiang Hanzhong.
"Bang——"
Jiang Hanzhong was pushed back several steps by Gu Sheng's palm strike, a shocked expression appearing on his face. He hadn't anticipated Gu Sheng's strength being so formidable, overwhelming him.
"Why are you not attacking yet?" Jiang Hanzhong shouted in anger.
Ji Yunfeng and Xu Daoling exchanged glances and simultaneously launched an attack on Gu Sheng. They knew that Jiang Hanzhong alone could not defeat Gu Sheng; they had to join forces to stand a chance of succeeding.
Faced with the siege of three elders, Gu Sheng did not panic. His figure flickered, evading their attacks. Simultaneously, he continuously shot out golden palms and fists, fiercely battling with the three elders.
The fight lasted a long time, with both sides locked in a stalemate. But as time passed, Gu Sheng gradually showed his advantage. His cultivation was deep, his body strong, and both his speed and strength far exceeded normal people. Meanwhile, although the three elders were experienced, they were limited by their cultivation and age, gradually becoming outmatched.
Finally, after an intense collision, Jiang Hanzhong and the others were pushed back several meters by Gu Sheng. They panted heavily as they looked at Gu Sheng, their eyes filled with shock and reluctance.
"Do you still want to fight?" Gu Sheng asked coldly.
The three elders exchanged glances, remaining silent. They knew that they were no longer a match for Gu Sheng. Continuing to fight would only lead to further embarrassment.
"Fine, we concede." Jiang Hanzhong took a deep breath and slowly said, "Take us to find the Divine Medicine."
Gu Sheng nodded without speaking. He turned and walked toward the other side of the mountain peak, with the three elders following closely behind. They passed through a dense forest and finally arrived at a cave shrouded in mysterious light.
"The Divine Medicine is inside," Gu Sheng said, pointing at the cave.
The three elders exchanged a glance, greed flashing in their eyes. They couldn't wait to rush into the cave to seize the Divine Medicine. They didn't notice the cold smile that curved up at the corner of Gu Sheng's mouth.
Just as the three elders rushed into the cave, Gu Sheng suddenly activated the Grass Vine Demon Soul. A vine over ten thousand meters long shot out from the cave, instantly wrapping around the three elders.
"Ah——"
The three elders screamed in terror, struggling desperately, but the vine grew tighter, as if about to strangle them. Their faces gradually turned pale, their eyes filled with despair.
"Gu Sheng, you!" Jiang Hanzhong roared in anger, "How dare you trick us!"
"Hmph, you brought this upon yourselves," Gu Sheng snorted coldly, "I had already said to let Huang Miaoyin and them go, but you harbored ill intentions. Now, enjoy the taste of the vine."
With that, Gu Sheng turned and left. He didn't go to seize the Divine Medicine because he knew it wasn't so easily obtained. Besides, he had more important matters to attend to.
The three elders were entwined by the vine, unable to move. They could only watch as Gu Sheng's figure departed, their hearts filled with regret and unwillingness.
At that moment, a golden archaic tower appeared, rapidly enlarging. Gu Sheng felt a burning pain as the Grass Vine Demon Soul was instantly repelled, returning to Gu Sheng's Soul Pond.
With the replica archaic tower, Gu Sheng was eventually defeated. Jiang Hanzhong lifted him like a chick, intending to kill him with one strike.
He continued to activate the archaic tower, continuously injecting Life Force into his palm to crush Gu Sheng, but Xu Daoling spoke up, "Elder Jiang, let him lead the way for us..."
"Yes, killing him is too easy. This kid ate the Holy Fruit. To harvest the Divine Medicine, we need him to pave the way!" Ji Yunfeng concurred.
After some discussion, Gu Sheng once again became the guide, forced to walk to the end of the mountain peak.
"Whoosh——" Cold winds howled over the ancient forbidden zone's cliff, accompanied by an indescribable sinister aura. Gu Sheng stood at the edge, his eyes solemnly watching ahead. Suddenly, a white silhouette drifted up from the abyss, so beautiful it took one's breath away, yet carrying an ominous aura.
"Is she..." Gu Sheng's heart tensed, sensing an inexplicable attraction intertwined with a sense of danger.
The beauty of the woman was unimaginable, as if she was the convergence of all the Spiritual Energy in heaven and earth, but her gaze was hollow and deep, like an abyss swallowing all life. The aura she emitted made Gu Sheng feel his Life Force rapidly depleting.
"Is this the 'Archaic Slave'?" Gu Sheng murmured to himself, involuntarily stepping back.
At this moment, Jiang Hanzhong, Ji Yunfeng, and Xu Daoling, the three elders, also noticed the anomaly of this woman. A trace of astonishment crossed their faces, which then grew solemn.
