Chapter 807: Showing Off One's Talents

The prophecy left by the mysterious man was like a stone thrown into the calm water, causing ripples. Although Gu Jiuchen and others were confused, they did not stop. They understood that only by eradicating the Demon Cult as soon as possible could they truly protect the people of the world.

As night fell, the stars twinkled, and the cold moonlight sprinkled in the mountains and forests, adding a bit of mystery to the quiet night. Gu Jiuchen, Ye Linglong and Xuan Yu led the righteous coalition forces and quietly approached a stronghold of the Demon Cult.

"Kill!"

With Gu Jiuchen's order, the righteous disciples who were ambushed around rushed out like a tiger descending from the mountain, shouting and killing, breaking the silence of the mountains and forests.

"Enemy attack!"

Caught off guard, the disciples of the Demon Cult were in chaos and rushed to fight. However, in front of the well-prepared righteous coalition forces, their resistance seemed vulnerable.

Gu Jiuchen held a long sword, his posture was upright, like a god of war descending to the world. Every time he swung his sword, he would take away several lives. As the sword energy spread, the disciples of the Demon Cult fell one after another, unable to stop his steps.

"Gu Jiuchen, today is your death!"

A roar came from the crowd, and a burly Demon Cult elder wielded a huge axe with a force of ten thousand pounds, and chopped down Gu Jiuchen's head.

Gu Jiuchen's eyes were stern, and he did not dodge or avoid it. The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and a sharp sword energy went to meet the giant axe. There was only a loud bang, and the sword energy and the giant axe collided with each other, bursting out a dazzling light, and the powerful shock wave shook the surrounding Demon Cult disciples away.

The face of the Demon Cult elder changed drastically. He never thought that Gu Jiuchen's strength was so terrifying that he broke his unique skills with just one move.

"Unbearable."

Gu Jiuchen snorted coldly, and his figure flashed, turning into a residual shadow, and instantly came in front of the Demon Cult elder.

With a flash of sword light, Gu Jiuchen had already put the long sword against the throat of the Demon Cult elder. The elder's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he still managed to hold on and said, "Gu Jiuchen, don't be so proud. Today I will teach you..."

"Shut up!"

Gu Jiuchen waved his sleeves impatiently, and the sword energy was like a rainbow. The elder didn't even have time to scream before he turned into a blood mist.

"Master, you are mighty!"

The morale of the righteous coalition was greatly boosted, and the shouts of killing became louder. The disciples of the Demon Sect were frightened by this thunderous method, and their formation became more scattered.

Ye Linglong was light and shuttled through the chaotic battlefield. Her fingertips flew, and a series of spells flew out, turning into a rain of flowers, falling on the disciples of the Demon Sect. These spells seemed beautiful, but they were murderous. Once touched, they would burst out with powerful energy and blow the enemy to pieces.

"Ah!"

The screams came one after another, and the disciples of the Demon Sect were caught off guard by this sudden attack, and suffered heavy casualties. Ye Linglong's attack not only had great lethality, but also had a wide range, effectively controlling the entire battlefield.

"Linglong, you are really amazing!" Xuan Yu couldn't help but admire it when he saw it.

Ye Linglong smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xuan Yu, you are too kind. Let's get rid of these remnants of the Demon Sect as soon as possible."

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and went straight to Gu Jiuchen.

"Gu Jiuchen, your opponent is me!"

The man was dressed in black and had a stern face. He was Xuan Feng, who had betrayed the Tianxian Sect. The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, pointing directly at Gu Jiuchen's heart.

"Xuan Feng!"

Gu Jiuchen's eyes flashed with anger. He never thought that his most trusted disciple would betray his master and join the Demon Sect.

"Gu Jiuchen, I will make you pay the price today!" Xuan Feng gritted his teeth and said, his eyes full of flames of hatred.

"Then let me see what you have learned in the past few years!" Gu Jiuchen snorted coldly, unsheathed his long sword, and met Xuan Feng's attack. The two figures intersected, the sword flashed, and only the afterimages could be seen between the swords. Gu Jiuchen's swordsmanship was sharp, and his moves were fierce, directly pressing Xuanfeng's vital points; Xuanfeng's body movements were ghostly, and his sword was unconventional, trying to find Gu Jiuchen's flaws. The two of them fought back and forth, and the battle was extremely fierce.

"Xuanfeng, you and I are master and apprentice, why do we have to go to this point?" Gu Jiuchen asked sternly while swinging his sword to resist.

"Master and apprentice?" Xuanfeng sneered, "Since the moment you favored Ye Linglong and expelled me from the sect, we have broken off our friendship!"

"When did I favor Linglong? At the beginning, you stole the sect's secret treasure, and the evidence was conclusive. I punished you to face the wall for three years, which was already a mercy outside the law, but you did not repent, but instead became worse, joined the Demon Sect, and harmed your fellow disciples. Today I will clean up the sect!" Gu Jiuchen was furious, and the long sword in his hand was swung more fiercely.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, it has been like this since ancient times! Today I will kill you and take your place!" Xuanfeng's eyes were full of murderous light, and the long sword in his hand turned into a black lightning, piercing Gu Jiuchen's chest.

Gu Jiuchen dodged sideways, swung the long sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy went straight to Xuanfeng. Xuanfeng hurriedly raised his sword to block, but was repelled several steps by this powerful sword energy.

"Just you, are you worthy?" Gu Jiuchen snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of Xuanfeng, the long sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, going straight for Xuanfeng's throat.

Xuanfeng was shocked and hurriedly waved his sword to resist, but it was too late. With a light "puff" sound, Gu Jiuchen's sword tip had already pierced his throat.

Xuanfeng widened his eyes, his eyes were full of unwillingness and despair. He never thought that the magic skills he had practiced for many years could not defeat Gu Jiuchen's move.

"You..."

Xuanfeng opened his mouth, but could not make any sound. Blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth, staining the front of his shirt red. He dropped his arm weakly, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound of "clang".

Gu Jiuchen slowly pulled out the long sword, and Xuanfeng's body fell to the ground. The light in his eyes gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a cold corpse.

"Big Brother!"

The disciples of the Demon Cult who were watching the battle from a distance saw this and immediately cried out in grief, throwing away their armor and fleeing in all directions.

"Chase!"

At Gu Jiuchen's command, the morale of the righteous coalition was greatly boosted, and they chased after the fleeing demon disciples like a tiger descending from the mountain.

In this battle, the righteous coalition won a great victory, destroying many strongholds of the Demon Cult in one fell swoop, and achieved a phased victory. However, Gu Jiuchen did not feel the slightest joy in his heart. He looked at the devastated battlefield and the righteous disciples who died in the battle, and his heart was filled with heaviness.

He knew that the war was far from over, and the real challenge had just begun. The smoke cleared, and the smell of blood filled the air. Gu Jiuchen looked around, and the stronghold that was originally full of demonic energy had turned into a ruin. He closed his eyes slightly to hide the complex emotions in his eyes. In this battle, they lost a lot of outstanding disciples. Although they finally won, his heart was as heavy as the night.

"Jiuchen, are you okay?" Ye Linglong came to him and asked worriedly. She noticed that Gu Jiuchen was surrounded by lingering sadness, and held his hand, trying to use her warmth to dispel the haze in his heart.

Gu Jiuchen held her hand in return, shook his head gently, and indicated that he was fine. "Linglong, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's withdraw first."

Ye Linglong knew that he had something on his mind, and did not say more, but instead ordered the disciples to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded.

"Master Gu, this battle was won thanks to your prompt decision, otherwise we would have been afraid..." Xuan Yu stepped forward, bowed and thanked him, his words full of admiration.

Gu Jiuchen waved his hand, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Yu, you are too serious. It is the responsibility of our generation of cultivators to eliminate demons and defend the Dao." He paused, looked into the distance, and said with a hint of solemnity, "However, the Demon Cult came prepared this time, so we need to be doubly vigilant and not take it lightly."
