I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night Chapter 468 - 309: A Line Drawn by the Blade! [One More!]

The person outside the courtyard sounded quite young.

His cultivation was roughly at the Refining Essence Realm.

Before Lin Yan could respond, he heard the person shout loudly.

"Disciple Gu Changsheng of Hengyuan Martial Arts Hall, requests Master Wu Chang’s instruction!"

——

With the na Wu Chang, after defeating Xu Dingye of the Little Divine Sect, he was hailed as the number one prodigy among the young generation of Qifeng Prefecture!

His fa spread throughout Qifeng Prefecture and even to the areas of the Three Prefectures!

Among his generation, those who could reach the Refining Essence Realm were all exceptional talents.

They might not be confident in defeating Wu Chang.

But they wanted to know, compared to Xu Dingye, just how much stronger Wu Chang, who was even more outstanding, was than themselves!

At this mont, there were already spies from various powers in Phoenix Mansion City within this courtyard.

Many eyes fell on the surroundings of the courtyard.

"Gu Changsheng fought with Xu Dingye two years ago and was defeated after exhausting his strength."

"Xu Dingye didn’t win easily either, he was nearly exhausted afterward."

"This Gu Changsheng is strong enough to be ranked among the top five of the young generation in the Prefecture City."

"Hengyuan Martial Arts Hall has successors."

"Gu Changsheng’s swordsmanship has such a strong aura, it will surely be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers!"

"He’s broken in, this sword strike... is so formidable!"

"Eh? Gu Changsheng was defeated?"

——

Outside the courtyard.

Gu Changsheng looked at the broken sword in his hand and fell silent.

He was defeated in an instant!

No, there wasn’t even an exchange!

He had barged into the courtyard but hadn’t seen Wu Chang’s face clearly.

And then he was thrown out.

His sword was also broken.

"Your skill should indeed be at the very top in the Qi Refining Realm."

He mocked himself, "They say you are the prodigy of the young generation, and among the older generation, there are not many who can be ntioned in the sa breath as you."

He sighed, offered a salute, and retreated.

His figure seed sowhat desolate and disheartened.

Xu Dingye was a notch stronger than him.

Thus, for the past two years, he had been practicing intensely, only wishing to surpass Xu Dingye.

But Wu Chang’s strength made him feel unreachable.

He no longer had any thoughts of competing.

anwhile on the other side, another person approached.

"Zhuo Yuangang of the Zhuo family, requests Master Wu Chang’s instruction!"

——

The atmosphere among the various people was sowhat subdued.

"Zhuo Yuangang was also ejected as soon as he entered?"

"That’s Li He, the Commander of the Temple Guard Army, his saber is broken!"

"Is this the elder from the Gu Family? Approaching the age of fifty, facing the predicant of declining Qi-Blood, does he wish to push through the pressure and seek a chance to transform Refining Essence into Qi? Oh, he was defeated."

"That one is the young clan leader of the Gao Family from the inner city, he has barged into the courtyard!"

"He actually held out for five breaths?"

"The young clan leader of the Gao Family managed to endure for five breaths, he has always kept a low profile in the past, it seems he has hidden his strength well!"

"Wait... that’s not right, isn’t Wu Chang also of the young generation?"

All of a sudden, everyone fell silent.

As they watched Wu Chang defeat various young talents from all around Qifeng Prefecture City and then so older-generation Martial Artists who had practiced for many years.

Unconsciously, it seed they all accepted that Wu Chang was an insurmountable mountain?

Managing to break into the courtyard was considered quite outstanding.

Being able to endure for three to five breaths gave them the impression of being exceedingly formidable.

But what about this Wu Chang?

Known as the foremost prodigy, rumors from the outside world compared him to the Li Shen Sect of the past!

How co they suddenly felt like the one sitting in the courtyard was the present Li Shen Sect?

To endure five breaths in front of Li Shen Sect, wouldn’t that make for an extrely formidable junior?

"Wait, is that... the old master of Hengyuan Martial Arts Hall?"

——

An old man approached outside the courtyard.

He was carrying an iron staff.

Looking at the broken saber and sword on the ground, his expression was solemn.

Then, he was heard speaking to the courtyard in a loud voice, "In learning, there’s no first or last, the most accomplished are revered; Master Wu Chang’s cultivation is already above mine."

"This old man has cultivated up to this day, with over two thousand strands of True Qi, limited by the Cultivation Technique, covering no more than three hundred acupoints on my body."

"I am sixty-nine years old this year; in my younger years, I was also the Commander of the Inner City Guard Army, ordered to traverse the south and break through the north, annihilate evil beings, protect all directions, and now, to the present day, opening a hall and taking in disciples, I can also speak of having seen much and possessed strong resolve."

"However, as I age, I suffer greatly from the tornt by foreign True Qi, with constant sleepless nights, fluctuating moods, and a surge of malevolent thoughts."

"I dare to ask Master Wu Chang, still young with not profound experiences, how is it that you are not affected by foreign True Qi at such a level of cultivation?"

He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Please, Master Wu Chang, grant your guidance."

True Qi erupted from his body as he strode forward.

Imdiately after, he fell to his knees with a thud.

He felt as though a great mountain had pressed down on him, making it impossible to struggle to his feet again.

The True Qi that should have exploded from his acupoints was suppressed and forced back at that mont.

Then, a detached voice ca from inside the courtyard.

"Foreign True Qi, when consud even just a thread, must be restored by the Cultivation Technique or by drawing on external forces."

"The Qi of this world is all bizarre, drawing too much from the external Qi chanism is bound to be deeply affected."

"The foreign True Qi inside your body all originates from external Qi; from the mont of your cultivation, it has brought one ’bizarre’ influence."

"If you consu this original strand of True Qi and continue to draw more external Qi, you will experience a second ’bizarre’ influence."

"With each strand of True Qi consud and each ti it is restored, the ’bizarre’ influence is amplified."

Wu Chang slowly said, "At this stage of cultivation, you should focus on refining your character, not on being competitive! Each thread of True Qi should be used to protect the Human Clan, to slay great enemies... not for sparring and showdowns, to be spent recklessly!"

"..."

The master of Hengyuan Hall fell silent and finally put down his iron staff.

The pressure on his body dissipated along with it.
