Longevity Begins with Internal Organs-Chapter 286 - 190: The Five Great Gu Masters Arrive, All-Out Brawl

Fu Tingyuan reacted extremely quickly this time.

Almost as soon as the commotion began, he got the news and immediately set up a defense deployment.

He then led his people down from the main peak of Cyan Bamboo Ridge, rushing towards the battlefield at the foot of the mountain.

Thud!

Fu Tingyuan shattered a disciple of the Refining World Sect with one palm, instantly filling the air with a blood mist.

Such might made the entire battlefield fall silent.

The people of Cyan Bamboo Ridge naturally felt their morale soaring, whereas many in the Refining World Sect were panic-stricken.

Although they had heard of Fu Tingyuan's strength before, seeing it with their own eyes for the first time naturally made them terrified.

At the same time, Fu Tingyuan let out a sinister laugh.

"Golden Silkworm Gu Master, last night you swore it was all a misunderstanding, and today you're stabbing us in the back. It seems like the words of you Demon Sect folks are as worthless as farts, utterly untrustworthy."

Upon hearing Fu Tingyuan's pointed insults, the Golden Silkworm Gu Master, who had been directing the battle from the back, had no choice but to step forward and speak in a solemn tone.

"Village Chief Fu, I did not lie last night. There truly are many misunderstandings between us."

"This is also a misunderstanding?" Fu Tingyuan pointed to the battlefield before them, speaking coldly.

"Alas, saying anything now is pointless because you can no longer trust me. Therefore, I was forced to strike first," the Golden Silkworm Gu Master sighed.

"Hahaha, what a way to justify striking first. Golden Silkworm Gu Master, I can't believe you said that with a straight face. Do you really think you and those useless minions of yours can deal with me?"

Fu Tingyuan said coldly, while his figure flickered like a large black bird, darting towards the Golden Silkworm Gu Master at the back of the battlefield.

He moved so fast that before anyone could react, Fu Tingyuan had already reached the front and launched an attack with a raised hand.

The Golden Silkworm Gu Master retreated rapidly.

But he knew well that against Fu Tingyuan, who was just one step away from entering the Fifth Realm, mere dodging was futile.

So, as he retreated, he shouted, "Aren't you going to come out and fight? If I die, you will get nothing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, strange laughter echoed from the darkness, followed by several figures flying in from all directions.

Some launched attacks on Fu Tingyuan, while others stood behind the Golden Silkworm Gu Master to jointly withstand Fu Tingyuan's strike.

In an instant.

What should have been Fu Tingyuan's lethal strike was forcibly neutralized.

He retreated over ten feet, landing and then coldly gazing at the newcomers opposite him.

Beside the Golden Silkworm Gu Master, several masked individuals appeared.

The masks were each different.

Some were painted with fierce giant snakes, some with eerie spiders, but regardless of what was painted, they all exuded a terrifying aura that made others shudder.

"Ghost Snake, Giant Spider, Golden Scorpion, Celestial Centipede! Haha, I truly didn't expect all five Gu Masters of the Refining World Sect to gather here, seems like Cyan Bamboo Ridge is quite the draw!"

Fu Tingyuan laughed coldly, but his eyes showed a hint of seriousness.

Because the four who arrived were all Gu Masters of the Refining World Sect, and together with the Golden Silkworm Gu Master, the five teaming up was not something he could take lightly.

The Ghost Snake Gu Master let out a teeth-grating laugh.

"Fu Tingyuan, since you know the names of us brothers, if you have any sense you'll surrender quickly, and perhaps we'll spare your life, otherwise..."

"We'll wash this Cyan Bamboo Ridge in blood!"

"Hahaha!" Fu Tingyuan laughed wildly at the sky, then fixed his gaze on the five Gu Masters, speaking icily.

"I've never been threatened like this in my life. Show me what you've got, let's see if your Refining World Sect is more formidable, or if my fists are stronger!"

"Enough talk, kill him first. Once he's dead, Cyan Bamboo Ridge is finished!" shouted the Golden Silkworm Gu Master.

Facades already torn apart, there was naturally no need for further restraint.

The Golden Silkworm Gu Master knew well that although Cyan Bamboo Ridge was filled with the shouts of battle and the situation was in chaos.

As long as Fu Tingyuan lived, Cyan Bamboo Ridge would not fall.

So with a shout, he joined forces with the other four Gu Masters to battle Fu Tingyuan.

In terms of Martial Dao strength, including the Golden Silkworm Gu Master, the Gu Masters of the Refining World Sect were mostly at the peak of the Fourth Realm.

Logically, with such strength, the five of them should easily handle a half-step Fifth Realm Fu Tingyuan.

But in reality, they could only barely constrain Fu Tingyuan, finding it extremely difficult to kill him.

This was because these Gu Masters excelled in poisoning and ambushes; when it came to actual combat, they couldn't compare to the steadily advancing Fu Tingyuan.

The situation quickly reached an impasse.

But the Golden Silkworm Gu Master didn't seem anxious, instead showing a hint of anticipation, as if waiting for something.

The five Gu Masters and Fu Tingyuan were locked in a fierce struggle.

Naturally, no one else could remain idle.

The village chiefs of Cyan Bamboo Ridge led their underlings to fight against the disciples and rebels of the Refining World Sect.

But as the fight went on, someone sensed something was off.

"Where is the Second Village Chief?"

"Has anyone seen Village Chief Zhan?"

Zhan Feng, though weakened, was well-respected due to his seniority and high reputation, so he was highly supported by the elders of Cyan Bamboo Ridge.

Logically, such a significant event would prompt him to appear.

But he was nowhere in sight.

"Your Second Village Chief is already dead!" shouted the three people who came up the mountain with the Golden Silkworm Gu Master in unison.

The commotion instantly spread.

The death of Zhan Feng cast a shadow over the hearts of many in Cyan Bamboo Ridge.

Even Fu Tingyuan, engaged in fierce combat, was momentarily shocked upon hearing this, then was filled with rage.

In his eyes, whether the Second Village Chief or the Fifth Village Chief, they were nothing more than dogs he kept.

You can bully your own dog, but it's absolutely unacceptable for someone else to kill it.

Especially when it's a sneak attack by someone you trust, Fu Tingyuan was even more furious.

"I will tear you all to pieces, aah aah aah aah!"

He roared, swinging his palm like the wind, constantly striking these people opposite him.

For a moment, the Gu Masters couldn't suppress Fu Tingyuan's aura and were forced to retreat repeatedly.

Seeing this, the Ghost Snake Gu Master couldn't help but shout, "Golden Silkworm, is your damn poison working or not? Don't tell me it's really letting this guy advance to the Fifth Realm?"

The Golden Silkworm Gu Master was also somewhat uncertain.

This shouldn't be happening!

Although Fu Tingyuan hadn't finished consuming the poison he crafted, he should be reacting to it by now, why is he getting fiercer in battle?

At the moment of doubt, Fu Tingyuan's figure suddenly shook.

Although the amplitude was extremely slight, the invincible aura seemed like a tire pricked by a needle, rapidly deflating.

The Golden Silkworm Gu Master was invigorated and shouted, "Here it comes, the poison in his body is reacting, quick, kill him now!"

Fu Tingyuan was also startled.

Because he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, obstructing the flow of Qi Blood, making his hands and feet numb.

Combining this with the Golden Silkworm Gu Master's shout, Fu Tingyuan instantly realized that the Secret Medicine he consumed earlier was problematic.

But now, it's too late to say anything.

Fu Tingyuan could only roar, desperately repelling an attack, and then turned to run towards the back mountain.

The Golden Silkworm Gu Master and others naturally wouldn't let him escape, pursuing closely behind.

The situation reversed instantly.

In this situation, Cyan Bamboo Ridge began to retreat step by step.

Fu Tingyuan, while walking, forcefully mobilized his Qi Blood, trying to break through the blockade in his chest.

But the more he tried, the sharper the pain became, making his whole body's muscles numb.

Fu Tingyuan's steps began to stagger.

Seeing this, the Golden Silkworm Gu Master's eyes brightened, "Quick, he's finished, act now!"

Actually, without him speaking, the Golden Scorpion Gu Master, who had been silent, rushed over as soon as Fu Tingyuan's steps became chaotic, intending to sneak attack from behind and seize the first merit.

But just as the Golden Scorpion Saber in his hand was about to pierce Fu Tingyuan.

Suddenly.

Fu Tingyuan turned back with a sword.

The sword light was swift and gentle.

Puff!

The Golden Scorpion Gu Master couldn't react in time, and his head was taken by the sword light, his corpse falling to the ground.

Looking at Fu Tingyuan again, he held a Soft Sword, looking coldly at the Golden Silkworm Gu Master and others.

"Come, who else dares to come!"

For a moment, intimidated by his aura, the remaining four, including the Golden Silkworm Gu Master, didn't dare to charge forward.

Only now did the Golden Silkworm Gu Master realize that Fu Tingyuan's greatest skill was not in fists and feet, but in Swordsmanship.

This Soft Sword was always hidden at his waist, and he would use it when the situation was dire.

Fu Tingyuan slightly gasped, feeling the sharp pain in his chest slightly alleviate, but the numbness over his body hadn't relieved.

He gritted his teeth, knowing that relying on the power of this sword could only temporarily intimidate the Golden Silkworm Gu Master and others. If he wanted to survive, he had to leave quickly.

Even if he came back to kill them after healing, it would not be too late.

So seeing the Golden Silkworm Gu Master and others not daring to come, he turned to leave.

Just then, a earth-shaking explosion sound came from the back mountain, and then they saw flames soaring into the sky above the back mountain, thick smoke rushing straight up to the clouds.

Followed by cheering voices.

"Well done exploding!"

"Quickly run!"

And then countless figures appeared on the road to the back mountain.

Most of these people were carrying mining picks, their clothes were tattered, but their eyes were filled with a longing for freedom.

They were the mining slaves, captured and forcibly imprisoned in the back mountain to mine.

At this moment, these mining slaves were rushing to the front mountain under one's lead.

The intense explosion and the sudden appearance of countless mining slaves stunned everyone on the battlefield.

Many people stared wide-eyed until this crowd got close, then realized to run away.

But some had an angry expression.

"Who told you to come out, get back!"

Saying this, they attempted to go forward and block.

Because to both Cyan Bamboo Ridge and Refining World Sect, these mining slaves were valuable assets.

Seeing them come out, these people were naturally filled with heartache, so they shouted loudly.

But they saw the person in the lead raise his hand, a flash of saber light cutting down those who dared to block in front.

Some were just chopped to the ground, not dead.

But soon, these injured people were directly smashed to death by the mining slaves behind using their mining picks.

At this moment, the faces of these mining slaves were full of anger, even though they were ordinary people, but when gathered in groups and wielding angry mining picks, their strength was astonishing.

After they passed by, besides a puddle of indiscernible blood and flesh on the ground, there was no sign of anyone's existence.

Seeing this scene, many people gasped, not caring about fighting anymore and turned to run.
