Chapter 52: Refining the Tiger's Inner Elixir

  Too fast...

  So fast that Wan Renshu didn't have time to react, so fast that Wan Renshu didn't even let out a pained cry.

  His head and neck were separated into two segments.

  A congenital fifth-layer cultivator was actually killed in one sword by Gu Chen.

  "Master..."

  "Brother..."

  Three family slaves and Wan Rongqi exclaimed in unison.

  Before killing Zhi Hu, the five Wan family members were still discussing whether to kill Gu Chen directly after killing Zhi Hu, or to play with Gu Chen for a while before killing him.

  But what they never expected was that as soon as Zui Hu died, Wan Renjian, the strongest among the five members of the Wan family, had already been killed by Gu Chen.

  Wan Renjian had a cultivation base of the First Heaven Realm, five layers, but he didn't even have the ability to counterattack and was directly killed in an instant. Wan Renqi and three family slaves only had a cultivation base of the First Heaven Realm, four layers, how could they be Gu Chen's opponent?

  In an instant, Wan Renci and three family slaves all felt that a dangerous aura had enveloped them.

  Run away...

  The four of them were of one mind, and the flying sword they released did not slash towards Gu Chen. Instead, all four of them leapt onto the flying sword and split up in four different directions to escape.

  "Did you think you could escape?" Gu Chen shouted loudly, and the Qingxi sword slashed to the right in the direction of the fleeing house slave, unleashing a ten-meter-long sword aura.

  A gigantic illusory sword composed of sword energy, over thirty zhang long, as if it would split the sky in two.

  A mournful cry rang out, and the house slave barely escaped into the air for over ten yards before being cut in two by the sword aura, falling to the ground.

  In an instant, another person died under Gu Chen's sword. The remaining three people were terrified and ran wildly, Gu Chen killed one more person, the other three had already escaped dozens of feet away and were still fleeing desperately, the distance was getting farther and farther, relying on the sword energy, it was no longer possible to attack at such a great distance.

  Gu Chen's mind stirred and the Qing Lei sword shot up into the sky, Gu Chen grasped the hilt with both hands and chased after another house slave at incredible speed.

  What speed is Gu Chen at this moment?

  He was catching up to the cultivator at a speed that was twice as fast as a Ninth Layer Heaven's Chosen, and three or four times faster than a Fourth Layer Heaven's Chosen. In just a few breaths, Gu Chen had already caught up to the person from behind.

  Qing's sword burst out with a sword aura of over ten zhang, and with one slash downwards, that person's soul was shocked and his gallbladder was broken. He pointed at the sword aura with his hand, and a flying sword came to meet it.

  Gu Chen wielded the Qinglie Sword, a magical artifact, and with one slash, he unleashed the full force of his six-layer cultivation in the Pre-Heavenly Realm.

  That person stepped on a flying sword and controlled another flying sword to meet the enemy. The pre-heavenly true energy was divided into two, weakened by half. A fourth-layer cultivator of the pre-heavenly realm could only exert half of his strength. How could he withstand the full force of a single sword from a master-level cultivator of the pre-heavenly realm?

  The flying sword released by that person was only a low-grade artifact, and as soon as it came into contact with the Qingli Sword, it was split in two. The Qingli Sword's momentum did not decrease, and it continued to chop down. That person let out a miserable cry, and like the flying sword, he was also chopped in two.

  Another person was killed, and five people had died, leaving only Wan Renci and Wan Si.

  In just a few breaths, he caught up with someone. This speed was something that Wan Rongqi and Wan Si had never seen before in their lives. The most powerful cultivator they had ever seen was the patriarch of the Wan family, Wan Tianrui, who only had a cultivation base of nine layers of the Pre-Heavenly stage.

  Spiritual symbol possession, Gu Chen has a pre-heavenly boundary of six layers of cultivation, plus the speed boost from the swift feather cloak, his escape speed is almost that of a divine sea realm cultivator.

  A Shenhai realm cultivator can travel tens of thousands of miles in a day, while a pre-heavenly realm ninth-layer cultivator's fastest speed is only over 4,000 miles per day.

  There is a huge gap between the Post-Heavenly Realm and the Pre-Heavenly Realm, just like the Heavenly Moat. Similarly, there is also a huge gap between the Pre-Heavenly Realm and the Divine Sea Realm, which is completely the difference between heaven and earth.

  Gu Chen didn't stop and quickly chased after Wan Si. He felt that the Ling Spirit Symbol was about to run out of spiritual energy, so he had to speed up and kill the remaining two people as soon as possible, not letting any of them escape.

  Gu Chen is still no match for Wan Tianrui's strength now. In any case, he cannot let anyone escape back to Taiyang City, back to the Wan family.

  Wan Si had already escaped hundreds of feet away, and he was exerting his innate true energy to the maximum extent, reaching the fastest speed he could achieve, fleeing rapidly.

  Although Wan Si reached his fastest speed, in Gu Chen's eyes, he was still too slow.

  Gu Chen caught up to Wan Si with a speed several times faster, and in just over a dozen breaths, he was already behind him. Wan Si's heart suddenly burst with fear, and standing on the flying sword, he knelt down on both legs and bowed to Gu Chen: "Don't..."

  Before he could finish begging for mercy, Gu Chen's sword aura had already ruthlessly chopped down, sending him to his death.

  After this sword strike, Gu Chen's body trembled all over, as if something had left his body. His cultivation instantly dropped from the sixth layer of the Pre-Heavenly Realm to the third layer.

  The Spirit Seal has been completely consumed.

  Gu Chen glanced at Wan Renqie, who was at least a thousand feet away from him. With his current cultivation level having retreated to the third layer of Xiantian, although his speed was still much faster than Wan Renqie's under the acceleration of Jiwu Pifeng, without the Lingyuan Symbol, it would take at least twice as long to catch up.

  Looking at the corpse of the tiger on the ground, Gu Chen immediately fell to the ground and said, "Xiao Bai, watch her."

  Zhu Wan Rong Qi, it will take some time. The Huo Hu's inner elixir is still inside his body and hasn't been taken out yet. Although there aren't any cultivators nearby, I'm afraid of accidents. If the Huo Hu's inner elixir is taken away, we can forget about setting up the Three Extremes Formation.

  It's over 50,000 miles from here to the City of Taiyang. Gu Chen has plenty of time to catch up with Wan Renqiu, and it won't make a difference even if he's half a beat late.

  Wan Rongqi flew away in mid-air, unable to escape Gu Chen's line of sight for a short time, letting Xiao Bai notice the direction she was escaping and chase after her later, which wasn't difficult.

  Fell to the ground, Qing Li's sword burst out more than three feet of sword energy, slashing down towards the corpse of Zhuo Hu, and with one sword from Gu Chen, the corpse was cut into two segments.

  With a swipe of his left palm, a crimson bead the size of a fist was absorbed into Gu Chen's hand. The interior of the bead flowed with flames, as if a fire was constantly burning within, filled with an aura of destruction that could incinerate everything - it was the Blazing Tiger Inner Pellet.

  Gu Chen was overjoyed, but he also knew that this wasn't the time to linger. He stored the Tiger's Inner Elixir in the Qian Kun Bracelet and then reached out with his hand towards Wan Ren Sword's storage bag, pulling it towards him.

  Immediately, the Extreme Ice Pearl appeared in Gu Chen's hand and was also stored in the Qian Kun Ring. The Wan Ren Sword did not disappoint as the young master of the Wan family; there were over a thousand spirit stones in the storage bag, a mid-grade artifact, and many talismans, all of which were swept away by Gu Chen and stored in the Qian Kun Ring.

  After doing all this, Gu Chen no longer stayed and immediately rushed into the sky, chasing in the direction of Wan Renqi's escape. Xiaobai pointed forward with one hand, following Xiaobai's indication, Gu Chen soon discovered a light spot in the distant sky, which was exactly Wan Renqi's escaping light.

  With swift and fierce winds, Gu Chen's speed was comparable to that of a Ninth Layer cultivator in the Pre-Heavenly Realm. Compared to Wan Renqie's speed, he was more than twice as fast. As time passed, the distance between them grew shorter and shorter.

  It wasn't long before Gu Chen saw Wan Renqi's body.

  It was just a glimpse of light at first, but now that people can see her, it means that Gu Chen and Wan Ren Qi's distance is getting smaller and smaller.

  Gu Chen's speed didn't decrease, and he continued to chase after her. His speed was about twice as fast as Wan Rong Qi's. Wan Rong Qi glanced back, her face pale with shock, the pursuer was getting closer and closer.

  Although Wan Renqie had accelerated to an extreme, compared to Gu Chen, he was still much slower.

  Gu Chen was now less than a thousand feet away from Wan Ren Qi, and both of them could clearly see the features on each other's face. Moreover, the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

  Suddenly, Wan Rongqi changed direction and descended rapidly, but she didn't continue to fly away. Instead, she fell into the dense forest on the ground.

  In the air, it was only a matter of time before Gu Chen caught up. Wan Rongqi fell into the Eastern Wilderness Forest, and relying on the obstruction of the trees, the chances of escape were slightly higher.

  Gu Chen smiled slightly and soon arrived at Wan Renqi's landing spot, also falling into the forest.

  Huh?

  Gu Chen was somewhat surprised, after Wan Renqi landed, he didn't continue to escape?

  When Gu Chen chased Xiao Bai, he had a lesson and didn't fall directly down to avoid entering another large formation. He stopped in mid-air and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

  The trees here are not very lush, and there is a considerable distance between each tree. Within tens of meters around Wan Renci's standing position, there isn't a single tree, making it quite empty.

  Gu Chen carefully looked around, and there was nothing out of place here. However, since Wan Renqi dared to stay here, there must be some hidden motive. Wan Renqi couldn't escape Gu Chen's grasp, but instead of launching a rash attack, he held his sword still in mid-air, quietly watching Wan Renqi, waiting to see what tricks she would play.

  Wan Rongqi didn't look back in the direction Gu Chen was coming from after she fell to the ground. Her face returned to its usual calm state. She pinched both ends of her waistband with her hands, gave a slight tug, and spun around. Her coat quickly opened up and slid to the ground.

  A snow-white body was exposed in the air, and Wan Renci's coat was not wearing underwear inside... There was only a set of transparent silk camisoles that couldn't stop the tempting spring light.

  Two full snowballs in front of the chest, two cherry-like red and juicy, two slender jade legs, a deep valley between them... all fell into Gu Chen's eyes.

  Wan Rongqi's left foot stepped to the side, her legs apart, and two snowballs shook up and down with her body movement. Two cherries moved up and down, as if nodding.

  Her eyes sparkled with autumn waves, and Wan Renci finally glanced at Gu Chen, saying in a sweet tone: "Young master, don't be angry, I'll dance for you, wishing to share the joys of life with you..."

  As they spoke, Wan Rongqi's bright red tongue touched her bright red lips, her arms swayed gently, her body rotated slightly, her legs parted and closed, her transparent thin shirt fluttered without wind, floating and dancing...

  In a clearing in this forest, Wan Renci danced with abandon.

  With every dance move of Wan Rongqi, her private parts would intentionally or unintentionally be revealed to Gu Chen, with seductive and flirtatious movements.

  As she danced, Wan Rongqi's lips opened and closed, and special notes came out of her mouth. These notes were not words, but the cries of women in lust and abandon.

  These licentious sounds soon wove into a vast ocean of sound, surging to the heavens and pouring into Gu Chen's ears.

  At that moment, the world seemed to have lost all sound, only Wan Renqiu's voice was heard, east, south, west, north, up and down, left and right, all directions were filled with this sound.

  Gu Chen blinked, and in front of him were several naked women...

  Several naked Wan Renci, in front of Gu Chen, making seductive movements, constantly shuttling back and forth before Gu Chen's eyes...

  One... Two... Three...

  Gu Chen carefully counted again and again, but every time he got to the third one, he was confused by several naked Wan Renqi who were running back and forth. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't count them out. How many Wan Renqis were there in front of him?

  Every Wan Renqi was fondling herself, some pinching the snowball in front of her chest, others caressing her slender jade legs, and others reaching out between her legs...

  Every single Wan Ren Qi was doing a different action, but they all had the same goal, and they were all moving towards Gu Chen.

  Gu Chen looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became dazed, as if his eyelids had a thousand pounds of weight, no matter how hard Gu Chen tried to keep them open. Wan Rongqi's lewd moans entered Gu Chen's mind deeply, making his lower body feel hot and itchy...

  However, in Gu Chen's eyes, although they were dim, there was still a hint of clarity. His eyelids were heavy as a thousand pounds, but he managed to keep them open, not completely closing them. Although his lower body was burning with desire, he suppressed it, not losing control of his mind...

  Gu Chen's current shock in his heart, even if it is called a stormy wave crashing on the shore, cannot fully describe it. This Wan Ren Qi, actually mastered the demonic path's ultimate technique "Tian Mo Ba Yin"?

  No, not the "Tian Mo Ba Yin". Gu Chen immediately vetoed it in his heart. The "Tian Mo Ba Yin" is a supreme magic law that requires a cultivator above the Shen Hai realm to cultivate. If Wan Ren Qi were to practice the Tian Mo Ba Yin with his current cultivation level, he would be unable to maintain even a single thread of clarity and would likely have already become completely lost, perhaps... already dead.

  In the ancient past, Gu Chen had once fought against Tian Mo Bayin, a powerful demonic cultivator. At that time, his "Ding Tian Jue" was already complete and he was a master of the Ming Quan realm. He almost suffered a great loss under Tian Mo Bayin's attack. Now, he is only at the third layer of the Xian Tian realm and no matter what, he cannot withstand Tian Mo Bayin's attacks.

  Wan Renqi's current technique, although not the Tianmo Eight Sounds, is also closely related to the Tianmo Eight Sounds. One thing can be certain, this is a demonic path's magic decision, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism... none of them have such an evil and depraved magic decision.

  The spell that Wan Renqie is currently casting is called "Desire Sea Devil Sound", which is a lower version of the Tianmo Eight Sounds. It's extremely powerful, and when Wan Renqie casts this spell, even mid-stage Xiantian cultivators often can't resist her temptation. Even late-stage Xiantian cultivators who are not mentally strong will find it difficult to withstand.

  If Gu Chen didn't have the experience of his past life, with his extremely strong willpower, and his innate three-layer cultivation, it would be impossible for him to withstand Wan Renqian's Devilish Allure. However, at this moment, Gu Chen could only maintain a thread of clarity in his heart, but as for Wan Renqian, he was unable to counterattack.

  Gǔ Chén never thought that Wàn Rén Qí would have such a powerful and evil magic skill. If the Spirit-Sealing Charm was still around, Gǔ Chén could have easily sliced her in half with one sword strike. However, at this moment, all of Gǔ Chén's innate true energy was being used to defend against Wàn Rén Qí's lewd and evil sound waves, making it impossible for him to launch a counterattack.

  Wan Rongqi's mouth uttered lewd sounds, step by step approaching Gu Chen, and before he knew it, Gu Chen's body had unknowingly fallen to the ground from mid-air.
