Chapter 368 The Treasure Is Targeted
Jiang Yifei did not force it, but nodded to show his understanding. At this moment, Jiang Yichen suddenly said, "Brother Gu seems to have a treasure."
When he communicated with his mount before, the mount sensed an unusual aura fluctuation on Gu Sheng. Although it was only a flash, it was enough to attract his attention, which made him very interested in Gu Sheng. However, Jiang Yifei and Jiang Caixuan did not show greed, but just glanced at Jiang Yichen lightly, signaling him not to act rashly.
Gu Sheng was shocked, but smiled calmly on his face: "Mr. Jiang, you are joking. I have nothing, so how can I have any treasures to talk about."
After that, he stood up and said goodbye, "It's getting late, I'll leave first."
After that, he hurriedly left the inn.
He knew in his heart that part of his secret had been exposed, and he had to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
So he did not return to his residence in the town, but ran directly into the mountains.
At the same time, Jiang Yichen also quietly followed him, wanting to find out the truth.
He didn't realize that Gu Sheng had already noticed his tracking and deliberately led him to a steep valley.
"Haha! You really followed me!" Gu Sheng suddenly turned around and laughed, "Since you are so greedy, let me show you my tricks!"
After saying that, he turned his palm and a sword flashing with cold light appeared in his palm.
This sword is his lower-grade earth-level treasure - Xuantian Sword!
Gu Sheng's figure flashed and he attacked Jiang Yichen, the sword flashed, as fast as a meteor across the sky!
Jiang Yichen was shocked. He didn't expect Gu Sheng's strength to be so strong!
He hurriedly urged his mount to defend, and at the same time secretly regretted that he was too greedy.
At this moment, he could no longer get away, and could only bite the bullet and fight with Gu Sheng.
The two figures intertwined, the sword energy was crisscrossed, and the whole valley echoed with the sound of metal clashing!
For a while, it was hard to tell who was better!
However, as time went by, Jiang Yichen gradually felt powerless.
Although his cultivation was not weak, it was still slightly inferior to Gu Sheng.
In addition, he had previously relied too much on the power of his mount, and now that his mount was injured and could not help him with all his strength, he was at a disadvantage.
Under Gu Sheng's heavy blow, Jiang Yichen vomited blood and fell to the ground.
He looked at the Xuantian Sword in Gu Sheng's hand with horror and unwillingness, and said in a trembling voice: "You... Who are you?"
Gu Sheng smiled coldly, put away the Xuantian Sword, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence: "Remember, some people are not something you can afford to offend!"
After that, his figure disappeared in the valley, leaving only a mess, and Jiang Yichen, who was shivering on the ground, and the gradually dissipating sword energy and rain sound...
On the other side, in the deep mountains far away from Qingfeng Town, Gu Sheng found a hidden cave to hide.
He sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breath and heal his wounds.
Although he had suffered some minor injuries in the previous battle with Jiang Yichen, it was not a big deal.
At this moment, his heart was surging, and he secretly said: "The Jiang family is indeed not simple. Even a disciple like Jiang Yichen has such strength, not to mention Jiang Yifei and others. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and slowly exhaled the irritability and anxiety in his heart.
Then, he began to practice with his eyes closed, and gradually entered a state of selflessness...
After an unknown period of time, Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He felt that the power in his body had increased a little bit, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"Although this time was a bit thrilling, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." He said to himself, "Next, I will work harder to practice, strive to break through the secret realm of the wheel sea as soon as possible, and reach a higher realm!"
After that, he stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, felt the surging power in his body, and his heart was full of confidence and expectation.
Then, he walked out of the cave, looked up at the dark clouds that were gradually dispersing in the sky, took a deep breath of fresh air, and showed a determined look on his face.
"What about the ancient family? I, Gu Sheng, will definitely create a world of my own!"
Killing Jiang Yichen brought endless troubles to Gu Sheng. The knights of the Jiang family seemed to have locked him, leaving him with no way to go up to the sky and no way to go down to the earth. For a while, he was like a frightened bird.
"Woo--"
In the middle of the night, the roar of a strange beast broke through the silent valley, shaking the leaves to fall. Gu Sheng clung to a boulder, held his breath, and carefully poked his head out. I saw a green-scaled beast carrying a knight of the Jiang family searching for his traces nearby.
"This damn guy is so difficult to deal with!" Gu Sheng cursed in his heart, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
His cultivation has reached the secret realm of the wheel sea and opened up the bitter sea, but facing the powerful knights of the Jiang family, he still felt unprecedented pressure. Whenever he activated his skills, the wheel of life under his navel would show mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, birds, beasts, and golden waves, with a mighty aura. At this moment, he dared not be careless.
Gu Sheng possessed an ancient holy body, and his body was extremely strong. When he was in action, golden light flowed all over his body, like a golden god of war. But his opponent was no pushover either. The Jiang family knight held a spiritual weapon with blue light flashing, and every swing was enough to make Gu Sheng feel palpitations.
"Hmph! Do you think you can escape?" The Jiang Family Knight sneered, and swung the weapon in his hand again, emitting a sharp sword energy.
Gu Sheng dodged the attack cleverly with a flash, but he became more and more anxious. He knew that this was not a solution, and he had to find a way to get rid of this difficult opponent.
"Nine Swords of the Wind!" Gu Sheng shouted, and his figure shuttled through the woods like the wind. The Xuantian Sword in his hand turned into nine sword lights and attacked the Jiang Family Knight. This is one of his unique skills, with infinite power and surging sword energy, as if to tear apart all obstacles.
The Jiang Family Knight was not an ordinary person either. He dodged Gu Sheng's attack with a flash, and slashed at Gu Sheng with a backhanded sword. Gu Sheng was startled and dodged quickly, but he was still scratched by the sword energy and his arm was bleeding.
"Damn it!" Gu Sheng cursed in his heart, knowing that he would lose sooner or later if he continued like this. He had to find a way to change the situation.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration came to his mind and he thought of a way. "Shadow Hiding Skill!" He shouted in a low voice and disappeared instantly. This is a kind of invisibility skill he practiced, which allows him to hide his body and avoid the enemy's attack at a critical moment.
The Jiang family knight was stunned, obviously not expecting Gu Sheng to disappear suddenly. He looked around and tried to find Gu Sheng's trace but found nothing.
"Xiaoyao Dengxianbu!" Gu Sheng shouted in his heart and shuttled through the woods like the wind. This is a speed skill he practiced that allows him to burst out amazing speed in a short time.
He used this speed to quickly distance himself from the Jiang family knight and then plunged into the deep mountains. He knew that only in this way could he completely get rid of this difficult opponent.
In the dense jungle, Gu Sheng was like a sensitive cheetah, constantly changing direction and speed. Behind him, the roar of the Jiang family knight and the roar of the strange beast gradually faded away, but Gu Sheng did not dare to relax his vigilance at all.
He knew that he could not keep running like this, and he had to find a way to completely solve this trouble.
At this time, he thought of the ancient forbidden land, a mysterious place surrounded by endless mountains and 800 miles in radius. According to legend, it is full of curses and dangers, but some people also say that it hides endless opportunities and treasures.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with determination, and he decided to take a risk and enter the ancient forbidden land.
He believed that the holy fruit he had taken might help him resist the curse there. Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to explore what secrets were hidden in that mysterious place.
So he turned around and ran towards the ancient forbidden land. Along the way, he carefully avoided various dangers and constantly used his skills and magic to deal with emergencies.
His heart was full of firmness and determination. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, he would move forward.
Finally, after experiencing countless hardships and dangers, Gu Sheng came to the edge of the ancient forbidden land. He stood on the top of a mountain, overlooking the mysterious land shrouded in clouds and mist below. His heart was full of expectations and excitement, but also mixed with a hint of inexplicable fear.
"Ancient Forbidden Land, here I come!" Gu Sheng took a deep breath, jumped off the mountain, and explored the unknown world.
Not far behind him, the roar of the Jiang family knights and the roar of the beasts sounded again. Obviously, they did not give up chasing Gu Sheng. But at this moment, Gu Sheng has made up his mind to enter the ancient forbidden land to find a ray of life.
He no longer looked back but just moved forward firmly.
After entering the ancient forbidden land, Gu Sheng immediately felt the unusual atmosphere here. There was an ancient and mysterious power in the air that made him feel a little depressed and uneasy. But he did not retreat but continued to move forward.
He passed through dense forests and crossed steep mountains and continued to explore the depths of the forbidden land. Here he encountered various challenges and dangers, but he successfully dealt with them with his wisdom and strength.
As time went by, Gu Sheng gradually adapted to the environment and atmosphere here, and began to discover some strange scenes and existences, which made him more curious and eager to explore this mysterious place...
"Ah——"
Suddenly, a shrill scream broke the silence. Gu Sheng turned back suddenly and saw a monk being slapped away by a huge black palm and fell heavily to the ground, his life or death unknown.
Gu Sheng was shocked and looked around vigilantly. He found that the danger here was far beyond his imagination. Not only were there various powerful monsters and strange traps, but there was also a mysterious force secretly watching them.
"This place is really unusual." Gu Sheng said in his heart. He felt as if he was in a huge maze, and every step was full of unknowns and dangers.
But he had no intention of retreating, but instead strengthened his determination to explore. He took a deep breath and continued to move forward. He knew that only by moving forward could he find a way out and get rid of the pursuit behind him.
"Roar——"
Just then, a deafening roar of beasts sounded, shaking the whole valley as if it was shaking. Gu Sheng looked up and saw a huge monster rushing down the hillside and heading straight for him.
This was a giant beast covered with scales, with red eyes and exposed fangs, looking extremely ferocious. Gu Sheng's heart tightened, but he did not panic, but responded quickly.
"Nine Swords of Gale!" He shouted, and the Xuantian Sword in his hand turned into nine sword lights and slashed at the giant beast. This was one of his most powerful means of attack, and at this moment he used it without reservation.
The collision between the sword and the beast made a deafening noise, and the whole valley seemed to tremble under the impact of this force.
The beast roared in pain, and several deep wounds were cut on its body by the sword, but it did not retreat. Instead, it rushed towards Gu Sheng more frantically, trying to tear him apart.
Gu Sheng dodged the attack of the beast and quickly launched a counterattack.
"Shadow Hiding Skill!"
He shouted, and his figure disappeared instantly, leaving the beast empty. Then he appeared on the side of the beast and stabbed it hard with a sword.
"Puff!"
With a muffled sound, the Xuantian Sword pierced deeply into the body of the beast, and blood gushed out immediately. The beast screamed miserably, then fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times, and stopped moving.
The closer you go to the center of the ancient forbidden land, the more powerful the beasts you encounter.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh--"
The sound of the wind was mixed with the urgent breath of pursuit, and Gu Sheng's figure quickly shuttled through the dense forest, like a flash of lightning across the dark night sky.
His face was solemn and his eyes were firm. Behind him were the Jiang family knights who were chasing him. The sound of their horse hooves was like the drumbeats of the god of death, constantly approaching.
The ancient forbidden land was a land full of mystery and danger. According to legend, the grass and trees were lush and the magical medicines were dotted like stars.
Gu Sheng had the honor to taste the holy fruit and the divine spring there, and he knew its wonders.
Facing the siege of the powerful beasts and the Jiang family knights in front of him, he knew that his strength was far from that of the Jiang family knights. If he insisted on moving forward, he might die.
On the way, he suddenly felt a strong pressure coming from the sky. Looking up, he saw a golden-winged roc flying, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky, and its cry shook the earth.
All living creatures seemed to tremble under this pressure, even those ferocious beasts avoided its edge.
"Even this legendary beast has appeared in the world, the ancient forbidden land has indeed changed." Gu Sheng sighed in his heart. He knew that even if he could reach the edge of the forbidden land by chance, it would be difficult to go deep into it to explore opportunities.
What made him even more desperate was that the Jiang family's pursuit and killing efforts were strengthened again.
In addition to the original knight team, the Jiang family sent five more powerful knights. They blocked all the main roads leading to the ancient forbidden land, and they were obviously determined to put him to death.
"Jiang Yifei, Jiang Caixuan, do you really want to do this?" Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and roared, his heart filled with endless resentment towards the Jiang family.
He knew that this was not the time to complain, and he had to think of a way to get out as soon as possible. (End of this chapter)
