Chapter 375 The Price of Pursuing Power

Sure enough, as the old man said, the people of Yaoguang Holy Land and Jiang Family were defeated under the crazy attack of the strange beasts.

Those elders and strong men who were usually high and mighty were helpless and terrified like lambs to be slaughtered.

Their magic weapons and magical powers seemed so pale and powerless in front of the strange beasts, and they were easily torn apart without even being able to resist.

"Ah——" screams echoed over the ancient forbidden land, and each scream represented the disappearance of a life.

In the bloody rain, Gu Sheng saw the desperate eyes and helpless struggles of those monks before they died.

Their bodies fell from the sky like raindrops, piling up into mountains in the pool of blood.

Gu Sheng's heart was trembling. Such a scene was so tragic and terrifying that he had never seen before.

He held the Xuantian Sword in his hand tightly, as if only in this way could he find a sense of security.

The power of the lower-grade earth-level treasure seemed so insignificant at this moment. In the face of the vast disaster, the power of an individual seemed to become small and powerless.

"Is this the price of pursuing power?" Gu Sheng muttered to himself, with a trace of confusion and helplessness in his eyes.

But soon, his eyes became firm again, "No! I can't just give up! I want to become stronger! I want to protect everything I cherish!"

As if feeling Gu Sheng's determination and fighting spirit, the ancient holy body in his body began to boil.

Golden light emanated from him, which was particularly dazzling under the dim sky.

His body became golden, as if it was coated with a layer of golden light; his aura also soared to the peak state at this moment, as if he wanted to step on the whole world under his feet!

"Nine Swords of Gale!" Gu Sheng shouted in a low voice, and the Xuantian Sword in his hand turned into nine sword lights and slashed at the beasts!

This is one of his strongest swordsmanship, and each sword contains the power and speed of the wind!

As the sword light flashed, several beasts were cut into two!

Such an attack is just a drop in the bucket for the endless herd of beasts.

But Gu Sheng did not mean to give up. He continued to wield the sword in his hand and fight with the beasts!

Every flash of the sword represents a contest of life and death!

His speed is getting faster and faster, and his swordsmanship is getting more and more fierce! It seems that he wants to vent all his anger and unwillingness on these beasts!

At the same time, he also used the invisibility technique - Shadow Hiding Technique and the speed technique - Xiaoyao Dengxian Step!

It allows him to shuttle freely among the beasts and appear and disappear like a ghost!

Sometimes he appears here to cut off the head of a beast, and sometimes he appears there to pierce the heart of a beast!

His figure is as elusive as a ghost, and his swordsmanship is as sharp as a storm!

Under such an attack, even the powerful beasts can hardly resist!

The good times did not last long. As time passed and the number of beasts continued to increase, Gu Sheng began to feel powerless...

His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his breathing became rapid.

"Bang--" With a loud noise, Gu Sheng was hit in the chest by a powerful beast, and the whole person flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

He spit out a mouthful of blood in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, he felt unprecedented fatigue and powerlessness... as if the whole world was pressing on him and it was extremely heavy.

But he still struggled to stand up, supporting his body with the sword in his hand to prevent himself from falling.

Because he knew that once he fell, he would never get up again... so he had to hold on!

At this moment, the crazy old man suddenly appeared beside Gu Sheng. He stretched out his palm and patted Gu Sheng's shoulder lightly, saying: "Boy, not bad! It's not easy to hold on until now! Leave it to me next!"

After that, the old man turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the group of beasts!

His figure shuttled freely among the group of beasts, and his palm method was as swift as thunder!

Every time he made a move, a beast fell down... as if he was the master of this battlefield, he was domineering!

Gu Sheng looked at the old man's back and a warm current surged in his heart... He knew he was saved.

At the same time, he was also shocked by the old man's strength!

He had never seen such a powerful existence... It was as if he was the spokesperson of this world and was omnipotent!

Just when Gu Sheng thought everything was settled, the loud noise sounded again.

"Boom!"

The earth-shattering sound echoed in the ancient forbidden land, as if the whole world was shaking. Gu Sheng and the old madman were like two streams of light, flying out of the forest filled with blood and the roar of strange beasts. Behind them were the corpses of countless strange beasts and the ruined forest.

The figure of the old madman was erratic, and every step he took seemed to leave a mysterious pattern in the void. These patterns flashed with deep light, as if they contained some kind of truth of heaven and earth, and seemed like ancient runes telling unknown secrets. His movements seemed random, but every time he made a move, a powerful beast fell down. His strength was unfathomable and breathtaking.

"Senior, your strength is amazing!" Gu Sheng followed closely behind the old madman and witnessed all this, and his heart was filled with shock.

The old madman smiled without turning his head, and his voice revealed a bit of madness and unruliness: "Little guy, this is just the beginning. The real power is beyond your imagination."

As they spoke, they had left the bloody mountain forest and arrived in a relatively quiet valley.

At this time, the major forces in the Eastern Wasteland were already shaken. The changes that occurred in the ancient forbidden land were like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Senior officials from the Yaoguang Holy Land and the Jiang family all dispatched to investigate in person.

"The giant bronze coffin has appeared again!" The news spread quickly throughout the Eastern Wasteland as if it had wings.

Gu Sheng and the old madman took a short rest in the valley, and then they heard the news that shocked Donghuang.

"The giant bronze coffin?" Gu Sheng frowned, "Isn't that the mysterious coffin I saw in the ancient forbidden land before?"

When the old madman heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes: "That coffin is not simple..."

At this moment, a gust of fragrant wind blew towards my face. Gu Sheng looked up and saw a woman in green clothes floating over, it was Linghu Qingwan.

"Gu Sheng, you're finally out!" Linghu Qingwan saw a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Miss Qingwan, why are you here?" Gu Sheng asked in surprise.

Linghu Qingwan said solemnly: "Gu Sheng, the news that you have taken the holy fruit before has been spread. Now, you may have fallen into unknown danger."

When Gu Sheng heard this, his heart sank. He had indeed taken a mysterious holy fruit before, which greatly increased his strength, but he did not expect that this would also bring him a potential crisis.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air in the distance. Gu Sheng and others looked up and saw several figures rushing towards them quickly. They were people from the Holy Land of Light.

"Gu Sheng, come with us." The leader, a middle-aged man, said coldly, "We need you to help us enter the ancient forbidden land to pick the holy medicine."

Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows, knowing in his heart that Yaoguang Holy Land wanted to take advantage of his special physique. He glanced at the old madman and Linghu Qingwan beside him, took a deep breath, and nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Soon, the three parties gathered outside the ancient forbidden land again. In addition to the Shaking Light Holy Land and the Jiang Family, some other powerful forces also joined in. Their trip had only one purpose - to go deep into the forbidden area and pick the legendary holy medicine.

"Gu Sheng, this operation is very dangerous, you must be careful." The old madman warned Gu Sheng before leaving.

Gu Sheng nodded, with a firm light shining in his eyes: "Senior, don't worry, I will be careful."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the ancient forbidden land. At this moment, he secretly expected that this operation would bring him opportunities and the chance to change his destiny.

As everyone goes deeper, the strange beasts in the ancient forbidden land become more and more powerful. Gu Sheng is like a sharp sword, no matter what obstacles he encounters, he can overcome obstacles and move forward bravely.

Arrive at the core area of ​​the ancient forbidden land.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the mysterious door of the ancient forbidden land slowly opened, revealing a desolate and ancient land. The monks from the Yaoguang Holy Land, the Jiang Family, and the Ji Family resolutely stepped into this cursed land with the desire for the magic medicine.

"Hiss-"

The cold wind blows from all directions, as if it carries the breath of death, making people shudder. The monks were tightly wrapped in clothes, but they were still unable to resist the biting cold.

"Is this the ancient forbidden land?" Gu Sheng looked around and saw lush vegetation but no life at all, and he couldn't help but feel wary.

"Yes, this is the legendary forbidden area of ​​life." An elder from the Yaoguang Holy Land said solemnly, "Everyone should be careful. It is said that many senior masters have died here."

A knight from the Jiang family snorted disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? With so many of us, can't we deal with some lonely ghosts?"

"Don't be careless." An old man from the Ji family reminded, "Since the ancient forbidden land can be called the forbidden area of ​​​​life, there must be something weird about it."

Everyone continued to move forward, but found that the source of divine power was imprisoned by a mysterious force and could not use magical powers. This made them panic, but at the same time, it also strengthened their determination to find the magic medicine.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a monk screamed and fell to the ground. Everyone looked at him and saw that his body was aging rapidly and his vitality disappeared in just a few seconds.

"Curse! This is the curse of the ancient forbidden land!" Someone shouted in horror.

There was a commotion in the team, but Gu Sheng remained calm. He found that his ancient holy body seemed to be able to resist this cursed force, and the spring of life and the sea of ​​suffering had not completely dried up. This gave him a sense of confidence.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Gu Sheng said loudly, "We must move on and find a way to lift the curse."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They rode on the beasts and continued to climb towards the nine holy mountains. As they went deeper into the forbidden area, they discovered more and more white skeletons crawling out of the abyss. These skeletons exuded a gloomy aura, making people's hair stand on end.

"These skeletons...are they of people from six thousand years ago?" someone said with a trembling voice.

Gu Sheng's heart moved, and he thought of the old madman. Could these bones be old friends of the old madman? He took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and led everyone to move forward.

During the climb, they encountered all kinds of strange phenomena and dangerous creatures. But Gu Sheng relied on the special abilities and extraordinary wisdom of the ancient holy body to escape danger again and again. His golden palm and golden fist can always exert amazing power at critical moments, making the enemy daunted.

"Gu Sheng! You are really extraordinary!" A knight of the Jiang family gritted his teeth and said, "After leaving the forbidden area, I will definitely fight you!"

Gu Sheng glanced at him coldly: "I'm always here."

During the climb, they also found many precious spiritual medicines, such as dragon tongue grass and jade lotus. But these are not their goals, they must continue to move forward and look for the magic medicine that can lift the curse.

After going through untold hardships, they came to the top of the nine holy mountains. Here, they found a mysterious stone platform on which was placed a magic medicine with a strong breath of life.

"Is this the magic medicine we are looking for?" Someone shouted excitedly.

At this moment, a strong evil breath descended from the sky and enveloped the entire mountain top. A gloomy voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Those who trespass into the forbidden land will die!"

"Not good! It's the guardian of the forbidden land!" Gu Sheng reminded loudly, "Everyone be careful!"

A thrilling battle began. Gu Sheng relied on the power of the ancient holy body and powerful skills to fight the guardian. His golden palm and golden fist drew dazzling golden light in the air, colliding violently with the dark power of the guardian.

"Hualala--"

The cold wind blew from the ancient abyss, bringing a chilling chill. Under the abyss, there were piles of bones, as if they were the remains of an ancient battlefield, and like a huge tomb, burying the bones of countless heroes.

"These bones...are they related to the legendary bronze coffin?" An elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land stared into the abyss with a frown.

"Yes, it is said that this bronze coffin is inextricably linked to the demise of the ancient immortal gate holy land." An old man from the Jiang family said, revealing deep fear in his tone.

The three forces gathered at the abyss, their eyes focused on the bones. The purpose of their trip was to climb the nine holy mountains and pick the magic medicine. The scene before them made them feel terrified, and the task became extremely difficult.

"I think, why don't we use Gu Sheng's special physique and let him help us." Jiang Hanzhong, the elder of the Jiang family, suddenly proposed, and his eyes turned to Gu Sheng on the side.

Gu Sheng was brought to the three elders, and his appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. Huang Miaoyin, Gu Xiaojiang, Mo Buwen and others cast surprised eyes. Although they knew that Gu Sheng had taken magic medicine and had the ability to resist curses, they did not expect that he would be pushed to the forefront at this time.

"Gu Sheng, are you willing to help us and climb the holy mountain to pick the magic medicine?" Jiang Hanzhong looked at Gu Sheng with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through him. (End of this chapter)
