Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 649 - 472

At this moment, the barbarian tribe launched a night raid on Yulong City. Their operation was a success; in an instant, as a street was obliterated, the entire Yulong City descended into chaos.

Although Yan Qing rushed to block them immediately and Wang Jiuzhi quickly assembled forces, while also having the governor of Yan State soothe and evacuate the civilians, their efforts were still largely ineffective against the well-prepared barbarians.

Two martial arts masters who had attained divine communion, along with five Innate Realm martial arts masters. Despite being only seven individuals, they had the power to annihilate the Jing Tian Department of Yan State and leave no survivors in Yulong City, killing everyone.

This underscored the importance of top-tier combatants, which was the fundamental reason why Da Xia was able to suppress the world and command submission from all over twenty years ago.

But now, times had changed from twenty years past. The once mighty had vanished or disappeared, leaving only one Tower Supervisor, who could only preside over Tiandu.

Da Xia had finally seen the rise of Gu Chen, but sadly, now Gu Chen too had encountered an accident and disappeared without a trace.

Yulong City was suddenly on the brink of utmost peril. If things went as expected, everyone would die tonight and the land would be awash with blood.

The strength of the barbarian tribe was also far beyond what Yan Qing and Wang Jiuzhi had anticipated. It seemed that the barbarian tribe, hidden deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, had indeed vastly bolstered their might with the ancient relics of primeval gods and demons, birthing an abundance of powerful warriors.

Otherwise, the barbarians would not have taken action tonight.

While Yulong City was thrown into turmoil, the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar was concealed above the heavens, arms crossed, watching the gruesome scene below with a cold sneer on his face.

He was wrapped in a black robe—an exceedingly rare divine weapon remaining within the barbarian tribe. It concealed the wearer's aura, making it an excellent tool for stealthy assassinations.

Using his own domain and this extraordinary divine weapon, the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar was able to move silently all the way from the Hundred Thousand Mountains to infiltrate deep into the city of Yan State.

Of course, even without the black robe, just relying on Yelanbar's own domain was sufficient to safely bring those seven barbarians to this place.

However, the barbarian High Priest Saranguis had advised Yelanbar to be cautious before their departure, which is why he proceeded this way.

"Da Xia, savor the feast my tribe has brought you, for this is merely the beginning," the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar said, his lips curling into a bloodthirsty grin, his eyes faintly shimmering with a red light.

Like an audience at a play, he observed from above the heavens, sensing the palpable despair in the hearts of both Yan Qing and Wang Jiuzhi.

Yet, this was far from enough.

A cold smirk appeared on Yelanbar's lips. With his strength, he could obliterate Yulong City in an instant, but he had not done so because he wanted to see everyone die with a look of utter despair on their faces.

Just as now, when the time was right, he would reveal himself and his formidable presence would envelop the entire Yulong City, ensuing the death of everyone in it.

"Struggle, the more you struggle, the more joy I derive. And when death comes, the more acutely you will feel what true despair is," Yelanbar's face was the epitome of grimness, a devil in his own right at this moment.

"Gu Chen, let's see if you're still alive. I do hope I can personally wring your head from your body and drink deeply of your blood," the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar said with a vicious laugh.

Indeed, the very reason he had personally come here was because of Gu Chen.

If Gu Chen was dead, so much the better. If not, then Yelanbar was prepared to personally send Gu Chen to his death.

To him, this was also a most entertaining prospect; otherwise, he had no need to be here personally.

However, despite his investigation prior to the attack, Yelanbar had not detected any sign of Gu Chen, leading the chieftain to believe that Gu Chen had likely perished at the hands of the Four Great Kings of the Six Union God Sect.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, in the courtyard of the Jing Tian Department, at the very moment the barbarians launched their surprise assault on Yulong City, Gu Chen was also immediately startled awake from his meditation.

"Hmm?!"

Subsequently, concealing himself, Gu Chen soared into the sky in an instant, overlooking Yulong City, taking in everything at a glance.

"To have eluded my divine sense?" At this moment, Gu Chen was somewhat astonished; he had not anticipated that the barbarians had such a method.

He certainly saw the two barbarian divine communion martial arts masters confronting Yan Qing, as well as the five Innate Realm martial arts masters, who were grinning viciously, intending to unleash boundless slaughter within Yulong City.

"Just these few people? Impossible." Gu Chen frowned, knowing that these seven alone would not be capable of completely eluding his divine sense and appearing here so stealthily.

"It seems that this time, a big fish has indeed been lured out." Gu Chen's expression gradually became stern.

Clearly, the massacre caused by the barbarians' appearance in Yulong City had ignited rage within Gu Chen's heart.

"Well then, today I will eradicate you all here in one swoop. I wonder if that old man Saranguis can keep from going mad!"

At this point, how could Gu Chen not know that since the other party had managed to evade his sense, it must be the barbarian chieftain in person, using some unknown method to achieve this stealth.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Gu Chen's figure instantly vanished from sight.

"Kill!"

Simultaneously, on the other side, Wang Jiuzhi, leading the commanders of the Jing Tian Department and the city defenders, was now also encountering one of the barbarian Innate Realm martial arts masters.

"A bunch of ants, do you think numbers will be of any use against me?" the barbarian Innate Realm martial arts master sneered, brimming with conceit.

"Today, everyone in this city must die, and in the near future, our brave warriors will thoroughly trample over Da Xia, over you people of the Central Plains. Your descendants, generation after generation, will all be trampled under our feet, enslaved by our tribe!" The barbarian Innate Realm martial arts grandmaster laughed wildly with wanton abandon.

He was so proud because he knew that with the visit of their tribal chieftain, Yelanbar, to this place, they could not possibly fail.

"Delusional fools, livestock who know nothing of propriety, even dare to covet the National Artifacts to enslave the Central Plains?!" Wang Jiuzhi and a group of people were immediately furious upon hearing this, and Wang Jiuzhi, in particular, was ready to fight with all his might against the barbarian Innate Realm martial arts grandmaster.

However, in the very next moment, something shocking happened that stunned everyone present.

Thwack!

Before Wang Jiuzhi could make a move, the barbarian Innate Realm martial arts grandmaster, who had been laughing arrogantly just a second ago, had his head burst open in the blink of an eye, spattering blood and brains all over the ground.

The laughter also stopped abruptly within an instant.

"What... what just happened?"

At this moment, everyone was completely dumbfounded, unsure of what had just occurred, frozen in place.

Even the Innate Realm's Wang Jiuzhi was no exception. The scene was too sudden – how could a martial arts grandmaster of the Innate Realm, fine one second, have his head suddenly explode the next?

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, Wang Jiuzhi had an astonishing suspicion flash through his mind. With this thought, he was immediately overwhelmed with joy and excitement.

"It must be Master Gu!"

Wang Jiuzhi instantly guessed the truth; he knew it had to be Gu Chen who made the move. Only Gu Chen could possess such strength, to kill an Innate Realm grandmaster as easily as slaughtering a chicken, to take their life with a single thought.

"So, Lord Gu has been hiding in the city all this time?" Wang Jiuzhi realized that Yulong City, once in a dire situation, was filled with hope because of one person's appearance and instantly escaped from the abyss.

Not just here, the other four barbarian Innate Realm martial arts grandmasters also died in an instant, their heads exploding, spattering blood and brains on the ground.

This sudden turn of events left the barbarian chieftain, Yelanbar, stunned.

In the next instant, boundless anger emerged from the chieftain's face as he gnashed his teeth and spat out two words with torrential fury, "Gu... Chen!"

Yelanbar knew it had to be Gu Chen who had acted, as Gu Chen had been hiding in Yulong City all along!

And he had even escaped his detection!

At this moment, Yan Qing, who was fighting against two divine martial grandmasters of the barbarians, also sensed all this and was equally stunned.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a suffocating feeling came as a towering and colossal figure, like a giant, suddenly appeared beside Yan Qing.

From this person emanated an extremely powerful oppressive force that even made Yan Qing, the Tower Supervisor of the Jing Tian Department from Yan State, whose strength had reached the pinnacle of divine martial grandmasters, stop breathing, and blood flowed from his nose and mouth immediately.

This mere presence, just standing there, brought Yan Qing such tremendous pressure; undoubtedly, the figure was the barbarian tribal chieftain, Yelanbar.

At that instant, Yelanbar looked down at Yan Qing coldly. His body was extremely robust, even a head taller than the peak grandmasters of the divine realm among the barbarians, standing there like a demonic mountain, bringing the Tower Supervisor of the Jing Tian Department from Yan State, Yan Qing, the threat of death.

"Chieftain!" Upon seeing the appearance of Yelanbar, the two divine realm peak grandmasters of the barbarians immediately greeted him respectfully.

"The chieftain, this man is the barbarian tribal chieftain?!"

Hearing this, the Tower Supervisor of the Jing Tian Department from Yan State, Yan Qing, immediately changed color; he could never have imagined that Yelanbar, the master of the Coagulation Field and the topmost expert of martial arts, would personally arrive tonight.

"Die!" Yelanbar's face was cold and remorseless; he reached out his hand, intending to reduce Yan Qing to ashes and a blood mist scattering into the sky, leaving no corpse intact.

"It's over!"

At this moment, Yan Qing felt a chill throughout his body, a bone-piercing cold rising from his spine and moving to his crown. He felt as though his scalp would burst open, engulfed by the peril of death.

With a Coagulation Field martial arts supreme expert attacking, Yan Qing knew he was doomed.

"Is this the end..." Yan Qing's pupils dilated, and as Yelanbar's rough hand approached, his entire body was near bursting open, with blood mist spraying out from every pore.

Whoosh!

The next moment, just as Yan Qing felt his future enveloped in darkness, a slender figure suddenly appeared, taking him away from the hit that could shatter his bones to dust.

The arrival of this figure was like a blazing beam of light in the darkness, illuminating not only Yan Qing but the entire dark sky of Yulong City.

This figure brought light to Yulong City during the darkest times, and with just the sight of this person's silhouette, Yan Qing felt as though it alone was enough to dispel the endless darkness shrouding the entire city.

He was like the great sun, shining limitless light, arriving like a deity upon this place.

"Master Gu!" Yan Qing's eyes were wide with disbelief, as he uttered three words, one by one.
