Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 508 - 383: Seeing Lin Bai Again_1
```
The place where the ghostly spirits of the dark grade appeared was eight hundred miles outside the city of Youzhou. Gu Chen traveled through the air, using the LingXu Nine Steps, and in less than half an hour, he had already reached this place.
Upon arriving here, Gu Chen found the area still thick with a chilly and gloomy aura but found no trace of the ghostly spirit.
"Has it left?" Gu Chen frowned slightly as he sensed the direction the ghost had taken off to.
But in the next moment, Gu Chen’s eyes suddenly condensed. With a loud boom, the ground split open, and amidst the agitation of earth and stones, seven figures burst out. Innate True Qi surged violently, the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi of the place boiled over, converging together like a giant wave, smashing towards Gu Chen.
Whoosh!
With his keen senses, Gu Chen had already anticipated this attack. He stepped on the LingXu Nine Steps and vanished on the spot, rendering the strike empty.
Seeing their seemingly assured strike miss, the one-eyed elder and others showed a slight sense of surprise.
"Lin Bai?!"
Gu Chen moved to a place not far away in mid-air, cast his gaze downward, and saw Lin Bai, whose skin was pale with black patterns across the surface of his muscles, looking like an evil spirit.
"Gu Chen!"
As the saying goes, sworn enemies are especially envious when they meet. Right now, upon seeing Gu Chen, Lin Bai immediately gnashed his teeth in rage, his surging black aura shooting up into the sky, his emotions extremely agitated.
"How did you turn into this ghostly figure?"
Gu Chen looked at Lin Bai in surprise. If not for the vague resemblance in their faces, and given Gu Chen’s excellent eyesight, he wouldn’t have recognized that this person who resembled a ghostly spirit was Lin Bai.
"All this is thanks to you!"
Lin Bai roared furiously, his emotions out of control, and his black aura surged, transforming into a claw-like shape in mid-air, attempting to strike at Gu Chen’s head.
Swish!
Gu Chen’s figure flashed again, easily evading the attack. As his cultivation deepened, his movement skills became ever more mysterious and unpredictable.
"Young master, calm down!" urged the one-eyed elder beside Lin Bai, worried that Lin Bai would lose his sanity and become a complete ghostly spirit.
Liang Zhao had once described to Gu Chen the appearance of the three law-enforcing elders of the Six Union God Sect who killed the governor of Youzhou. Upon seeing this one-eyed elder, Gu Chen immediately recognized him.
At the same time, Gu Chen understood their plan in an instant.
"So you deliberately lured me here!"
Lin Bai’s pupils glowed blood red, his expression ghastly as he roared like a predatory beast, "Gu Chen, I will kill you, I will tear you into pieces!"
Seeing Lin Bai’s present state, Gu Chen couldn’t help but frown slightly. It was clear to him that Lin Bai had thoroughly turned into a ghostly spirit, unable to control even his emotions.
"It seems that I was too hard on him before," Gu Chen inwardly sighed.
"Hand over the treasure of the Spirit Realm!" At that moment, the law-enforcing elder of the Six Union God Sect, that one-eyed elder, also shouted sternly.
To Gu Chen, it was no surprise that the people from the Six Union God Sect knew about the treasure in his possession. Lin Bai wasn’t foolish, nor were there any fools in the Six Union God Sect; eventually, they would uncover the clues.
Even over time, the six great holy lands would come to realize it too.
Gu Chen, however, intended to use this time to rapidly increase his strength to the greatest extent possible to cope with everything.
"To deal with me, you’ve really brought out quite the lineup." Gu Chen’s gaze roamed and noticed two dark-grade ghostly spirits and three other Martial Grandmasters of Innate Realm Great Perfection.
"Six Union God Sect, Blood Robe Tower, Solitary Souls, seems like everyone has gathered," Gu Chen said with a faint smile. "It looks like you are quite afraid of me?"
"Foolish brat, talk less nonsense, hand over the treasure. Kneel down and submit, and you might be spared," the one-eyed elder said coldly.
"Kill him, kill him, kill him!" Lin Bai roared on the side. If it weren’t for the one-eyed elder constantly holding Lin Bai back, he would have already charged over.
Gu Chen remained calm, his eyes without a ripple. This time, he would not let Lin Bai go again.

If the six great holy lands found Lin Bai in such a state, how could they possibly believe that the Heavenly seed was on him?
Killing Lin Bai might afford some more time to hide it, and the six great holy lands would not believe the explanation of the Six Union God Sect.
With this thought, Gu Chen decided not to hold back anymore. Even though there were five of them, along with two dark grade ghostly spirits, he was utterly fearless.
In fact, Gu Chen was somewhat grateful to Lin Bai. Killing them would allow his own strength to grow even more, a good deed killing two birds with one stone.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, Gu Chen flashed forward, approaching near a killer from the Blood Robe Tower.
"Innate Realm Great Perfection? The Blood Robe Tower has really kept a low profile. I wonder if your reclusive, light-shunning tower master will feel heartache after I kill you?"
Gu Chen threw a punch, and his crystal-clear white fist was imbued with an unparalleled mighty force, capable of moving mountains and overturning seas, the essence of the Mountain and Sea Fist technique!
"Blood Shadow Trace!"
As Gu Chen’s primary target was himself, the assassin from the Blood Robe Tower cursed inwardly, hastily using the Earthly Martial Skill of the Blood Robe Tower. At this moment, he transformed into numerous blood shadows, attacking Gu Chen simultaneously, making it impossible to differentiate the real from the fake.
However, Gu Chen had now progressed his Refining Spirit Secret to minor completion, with greatly improved perception, his spiritual force nearly bursting forth from his brow. With a brief scan of his eyes, he discerned the true from the false.
"Where do you think you’re going!"
Gu Chen let out a light shout. His form was elongated, his vitality surging. As he swung his fist, a Gang Wind stirred up between heaven and earth. Rocks weighing tens of thousands of pounds were swept up by this fierce wind and suspended mid-air, then all shattered to pieces.
The might of a single punch was so fearsome!
He was like a ferocious dragon, giving the sense of being unstoppable.
"This is bad!"
```
The assassin from the Blood Garb Tower was terrified when Gu Chen precisely located his true body. With a single punch, the man’s arms were instantly broken, and his body was thrown far away like a straw man.
Just one exchange had already resulted in an injury on their side, a sight that made the one-eyed elder’s pupil involuntarily shrink.
"What formidable strength!"
The one-eyed elder was shocked. He felt that the Gu Chen before him had already surpassed the defender of the Jing Tian Department in Youzhou. Even he, before fusing with an underworld-grade specter, would not stand a chance and would be instantly killed by Gu Chen.
"Die!"
At that moment, two killers from the Wandering Spirits with Great Success in the Innate Realm radiated killing intent from head to toe. Their cold, merciless eyes looked unlike anything human, almost like two killing machines.
At this moment, they swung their long swords and used a tandem attack technique, targeting Gu Chen with their combined strength.
This displayed that Wandering Spirits was indeed stronger than Blood Garb Tower, even in the number of martial arts grandmasters.

But Gu Chen was sure that these three were the last martial arts grandmasters of Wandering Spirits and Blood Garb Tower.
The Innate Realm was not something common as cabbages. Just one martial arts grandmaster of the Innate Realm could establish a top force in the Nine States. Even for three evil paths like the Blood Garb Tower and Wandering Spirits, they could not possibly have more than four members at this level.
Take note, even with the prosperity of Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Sect, unaffected by the disturbance Emperor Xia caused when he rode through the Jianghu, they had no more than five martial arts grandmasters of the Innate Realm internally.
Nevertheless, Blood Garb Tower and Wandering Spirits sent their last high-level forces without hesitation, only lacking the leaders of the killers themselves, which showed that the Six Union God Sect must have promised significant benefits to these two factions.
Clang clang clang!
The two Wandering Spirits killers indeed had extraordinary strength, using a tandem attack technique to match Gu Chen for over a dozen moves within a short time.
Gu Chen, using only his bare flesh, managed to block the long sword attacks of the two Wandering Spirits killers with his palms, a scene that caused even the well-trained Wandering Spirits to show a flicker of surprise in their eyes.
"Kill!"
At that moment, Lin Bai could no longer hold back, broke free from Dugu Yun’s restraint, leading two other underworld-grade specters as if they were three brothers, charging at Gu Chen all at once.
"Good, a family should be together. I’ll send you all on the road together!"
With a cold shout from Gu Chen, he fiercely pushed out his palms, and the Great Day True Qi of more than twelve hundred years burst out in an instant, a surging wave of flame exploded in the void.
Boom!
An explosive sound resonated, the heaven and earth hummed, the void trembled, and countless sparks flew as Lin Bai and the others were immediately blasted away.
"Wandering Spirits? You dare to come to kill me, I’ll make you into true wandering spirits!"
Gu Chen’s figure flashed, instantly appearing mid-air near one of the Wandering Spirits killers. He executed the LingXu Nine Steps and delivered a direct kick to the killer’s head from above.
Hiss!
Just then, all of a sudden, the one-eyed elder standing at a distance released an invisible force from his brow, his spirit attack launched unseen and intangible, striking at Gu Chen.
Indeed, after fusing with an underworld-grade specter, he succeeded in giving birth to his spirit attack!
With some time, using the spirit attack to communicate with heaven and earth and refine the innate true qi inside his body, he could formally step into the realm of spiritual martial arts.
At this moment, Gu Chen felt something, his brow swelling. While he couldn’t project his spiritual power outside his body, with the Refining Spirit Secret at a minor completion, he was more than capable of resisting the one-eyed elder’s spirit attack unscathed.
Compared to Xiahou Longyuan, this attack was far weaker. How could it possibly hurt Gu Chen as he was now?
"Eh?"
Seeing that Gu Chen was unaffected by his spirit attack, the one-eyed elder exclaimed in surprise, taken aback.
Swish!
At that moment, Lin Bai rushed close to Gu Chen. His wings fluttered behind him, unleashing a black Gang Wind that roared towards Gu Chen.
"You go to hell!"
At the same time, Lin Bai fearlessly followed the black Gang Wind, throwing himself directly at Gu Chen.
It had to be said that Lin Bai’s strength had greatly improved. Originally, even with the Six Harmonies Everlasting Divine Skill, he could not have achieved such a rapid increase in strength, but in such a short time, he matched a martial arts grandmaster at the Great Success of the Innate Realm.
The reason he advanced so quickly was that he cast aside his human form and became a specter. Thus, the current Lin Bai was not a member of the Human Clan but an underworld-grade specter with human thoughts, and he was no longer able to use the Human Clan martial arts.
"Blood Soul Technique!"
Although the Blood Garb Tower assassin’s arms were broken, it did not stop him from exhibiting Earthly Martial Skills. With all his strength, a phantom blood shadow appeared on his body, like an evil spirit, enveloped in blood light from head to toe, rushing towards Gu Chen.
As notorious as Blood Garb Tower was, each of its Earth Grade martial skills was not to be underestimated.
"Die for this old man!"
The law enforcement elder of the Six Union God Sect, the one-eyed elder, coldly shouted. He raised his hand to strike, and the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi gathered instantly. A huge palm print the size of a millstone struck at Gu Chen, shaking the very ground.
"Roar!"
Not only that, the two fierce, pitch-black underworld-grade specters let out howls that equaled a spiritual attack. The invisible soundwaves turned into spikes, piercing towards Gu Chen’s mind.
"Kill!"
The two Wandering Spirits killers shouted in unison, once again joining forces. Their figures flashed, their immense killing intent concentrated at one point, striking just in front of Gu Chen. Then they violently erupted, the overwhelming killing intent seemingly piercing through everything in heaven and earth.
Hum!
At the same time, after the one-eyed elder released that palm strike, he utilized his newly formed spirit attack in conjunction with the two underworld-grade specters, attacking Gu Chen together.
For a moment, five men, along with two specters, all unleashed their killing moves on Gu Chen, delivering a deathblow!
