Gu Sheng hurriedly used the ancient holy body to protect his body, and at the same time slapped out a golden fist, colliding with Zhao Honglie's fist.

"Bang!" The moment the two fists collided, Gu Sheng only felt a huge force coming, causing him to involuntarily take a few steps back.

But Zhao Honglie stood there motionless, with a mocking smile on his face: "Gu Sheng, is this all you have?"

Gu Sheng did not answer him, but took a deep breath and urged the grass vine demon soul to launch a more violent attack on Zhao Honglie.

I saw grass vines rushing towards Zhao Honglie like giant dragons, trying to restrain him.

But the holy demon body on Zhao Honglie's body seemed to have endless magic power, and it actually shattered the grass vines one by one.

Gu Sheng's heart sank when he saw this. He knew that this was not a solution and he had to find a way to break Zhao Honglie's Holy Demon Body.

So he took a deep breath, combined the three skills of Nine Swift Swords, Shadow Hiding Skill and Free and Easy Ascension Steps together, and launched the strongest attack!
"Swoosh!" A golden sword light flashed, and Zhao Honglie only felt his eyes brighten, and then he saw Gu Sheng appeared in front of him, stabbing a sword towards his heart!
The speed of this sword was so fast that he couldn't dodge it at all!
"Puchi!" The colorful jade sword directly pierced Zhao Honglie's chest, and blood spurted out, dyeing the entire sky red.

Zhao Honglie looked at the sword wound on his chest in disbelief, then slowly fell down.

At this moment, his holy demonic body seemed to have lost all its magic power and became extremely fragile.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng immediately drew out the Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword, stepped on Zhao Honglie's chest, and said coldly: "You lose!"

With the fall of Zhao Honglie, Gu Wancheng's crisis was also resolved.

The residents in the city cheered, they knew it was Gu Sheng who saved them!

At this moment, Gu Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the smoke in the sky and knew in his heart that although this battle was difficult, he won in the end!
The outcome of the battle seemed to be decided, but something strange happened at this moment!

Zhao Honglie, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and shot out two sharp cold rays. His gaze was like a sharp sword, pointing directly at Gu Sheng's heart.

With a "whoosh", he leaped up at incredible speed and grabbed Gu Sheng's ankle in an instant.

"Ah!" Gu Sheng exclaimed, feeling a huge force coming from Zhao Honglie's palm. He felt dizzy and then fell heavily to the ground.

Zhao Honglie didn't give Gu Sheng any chance to breathe. He quickly got up and punched Gu Sheng's head. With a loud "bang", Gu Sheng's head was hit hard. He only had time to turn his head slightly to avoid it, but he was still seriously injured. His head was dizzy, his eyes went black, and Gu Sheng lost consciousness...

When Gu Sheng woke up again, he found himself tied to a huge stone pillar by thick iron chains, unable to move. His head was splitting and his vision was blurred, but what frightened him even more was that Zhao Honglie's hideous face was so close.

"Hahaha! Gu Sheng, you think you won? How ridiculous! I'm telling you, I'm not dead yet!" Zhao Honglie grinned, as if he had already won. He walked up to Gu Sheng, stretched out his hand, and pressed it hard on Gu Sheng's dantian, "Now, let me show you what true despair is!"

As Zhao Honglie pressed down, Gu Sheng felt as if the spiritual power in his body was being sucked away by a huge suction force. He was terrified, but found that he was powerless to resist and could only watch his spiritual power drain away. This feeling made him feel unprecedented fear and despair... Was he really going to die here?

“Hahaha!” Zhao Honglie’s laughter became even more rampant. “Gu Sheng, what’s the use of your Ancient Saint Body? In front of my Holy Demon Body, you are nothing but an ant!”

Gu Sheng was filled with resentment and anger. He struggled desperately, but the chains bound him tightly. However, at this critical moment, a clear and firm female voice sounded in Gu Sheng's ears:

"Gu Sheng, hold on! I'm here to save you!"

Immediately afterwards, with a "whoosh" sound, a bright sword light cut through the sky and slashed towards Zhao Honglie's arm at an incredible speed.

"Ah!" Zhao Honglie screamed, his arm was cut off instantly, blood spurted out. He took several steps back before steadying himself, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief.

Gu Sheng saw the face of the person who came, it was Linghu Qingwan, whom he had been thinking about! She held a sword that shone with colorful light - Dugu Jiujian, and looked at Zhao Honglie coldly: "Do you think you won? Let me tell you, the battle is not over yet!"

Although Zhao Honglie lost his arm, he still resisted tenaciously. He urged the magic power in his body, and a black mist appeared. A pair of black wings stretched out from his back, covered with black scales, flashing a cold light.

"Hahaha! Linghu Qingwan, do you think you can save him? You will all die here today!" Zhao Honglie grinned, his figure flashed, and he turned into a black shadow and pounced on Linghu Qingwan.

Linghu Qingwan moved, and turned into a stream of colorful light to meet him. The Dugu Nine Swords seemed to have life in her hands, with countless sword lights and shadows, and each sword contained a powerful force. That was the power unique to the earth-level middle-grade treasure, and at this moment, it was brought to its extreme in Linghu Qingwan's hands.

"Clang, clang, clang!" The sword light and the black mist collided with each other, stirring up dazzling sparks. The entire battlefield was shrouded in this powerful energy, as if it could collapse at any time.

Gu Sheng looked at this scene, his heart filled with shock and admiration. He knew that victory in this battle was just around the corner...

"Ah!" Suddenly, Zhao Honglie screamed, and his chest was pierced by Dugu Nine Swords, and blood spurted out. He staggered back a few steps, with a look of fear and unwillingness on his face.

Linghu Qingwan didn't give him any chance to breathe, and rushed towards Zhao Honglie again. "Swish, swish, swish!" A few flashes of sword light passed by, and the black scales on Zhao Honglie's body were cut off one by one, revealing the flesh and blood inside.

"No! This is impossible!" Zhao Honglie shouted in fear, but it was no use. The power of Dugu Nine Swords was too strong, and every flash of the sword made him feel frightened. He finally realized that he was no match for Linghu Qingwan...

"Bang!" There was a final loud noise, and Zhao Honglie fell heavily to the ground, never to move again. Linghu Qingwan also put away the Dugu Nine Swords and turned to walk towards Gu Sheng.

"Are you okay?" she asked with concern.

Gu Sheng shook his head: "I'm fine... Thank you for saving me."

Linghu Qingwan smiled slightly: "We are friends! Besides, you have helped me many times!" She reached out and untied the chains on Gu Sheng, "Now let's celebrate our victory together!"

Just as the two were about to leave, a loud "boom" was heard, and the entire ground began to tremble. A powerful aura descended from the sky, covering the entire battlefield. "Hahaha! Want to leave? Not that easy!" A gloomy voice echoed in the air, making people shudder. Zhao Honglie actually stood up again, and his momentum was even stronger than before!
"What's going on?" Gu Sheng asked in astonishment, "Isn't he dead?"

"I'm not sure... but it looks like he's not dead yet..." Linghu Qingwan frowned and said, "We have to be careful."

Zhao Honglie's body gradually floated into the air, and the black fog around him became thicker, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world. "Do you think you can defeat me like this? How naive!" He said with a grim smile, "Now let me show you my true power!"

As he said this, he put his hands together and chanted a spell. A "buzzing" sound continued to ring out, and the air around him became distorted. Then, a "booming" thunder sound came, and black lightning fell from the sky and struck Gu Sheng and Linghu Qingwan!
"Be careful!" Linghu Qingwan shouted and pulled Gu Sheng to quickly avoid the attack of the falling lightning, "We must find a way to break his magic!"

Gu Sheng nodded: "Let me try!"

As he spoke, he mobilized the spiritual power in his body and prepared to launch an attack.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Several golden sword auras flew out from his hands and slashed towards Zhao Honglie!

However, Zhao Honglie laughed contemptuously and waved his hand to disperse all the sword energy.

"Hahaha! Is this all you have got?" He said sarcastically, "Let me show you my true strength!"

As he spoke, he flashed and turned into a black shadow and pounced towards the two of them!

The speed is so fast that it's jaw-dropping!
"Not good!" Linghu Qingwan exclaimed, pulling Gu Sheng back quickly, "We must join forces to defeat him!"

Zhao Honglie’s speed was so fast that he caught up in the blink of an eye!

With a "whoosh" sound, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Linghu Qingwan's neck!
Just when they were about to succeed, there was a loud "bang"!
Gu Sheng stood in front of Linghu Qingwan and took the palm strike with his body!
"Puff!" Gu Sheng vomited blood, flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground!
"Gu Sheng!" Linghu Qingwan exclaimed and hurried over to help him up. "Are you okay?" she asked with concern.

"I'm fine..." Gu Sheng struggled to stand up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "We can't let him continue to be so arrogant!"

As he said this, he mobilized the spiritual power in his body and prepared to launch another attack!
At this moment, "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" several sounds of breaking through the air were heard!

I saw several thin vines emerging from the ground and quickly entangled Zhao Honglie's legs!

"Ah!" Zhao Honglie screamed and was dragged to the ground by vines!
"What's going on?" He struggled, trying to break free from the vines, but to no avail!
These vines seemed to have life, wrapping around him tighter and tighter, making him unable to move!
"Hahaha!" Gu Sheng laughed. "Do you think you're the only one who can use magic? Have a taste of my grass vine spirit!"

It turns out that these vines were transformed from Gu Sheng’s grass vine demon soul. They can corrode everything they touch, including Zhao Honglie’s holy demon body!
"Ah! No!" Zhao Honglie shouted in horror, but it was too late. He could only watch his body being gradually corroded by the vines.

"Bang!" The last loud noise was heard, and Zhao Honglie's body was completely swallowed by the vines and disappeared.

The entire battlefield returned to calm again.

"Swoosh--" A figure flew across the sky and landed steadily in a mansion of Gu Wancheng. Gu Sheng, the former neighbor and now a strong man, finally returned to his long-lost hometown.

"Uncle Asheng!" Gu Wan came forward in surprise, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude, "You are finally back!"

Gu Sheng smiled at Gu Wan. He knew how much hardship this young man had gone through to get to where he is today. "Well, I'm back. From your looks, your cultivation has improved."

Gu Wan smiled modestly, "It was all thanks to your guidance, Uncle Sheng, otherwise I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."

At this time, Gu Daniu and Li Xiaolian also rushed over after hearing the noise. They looked at the handsome and extraordinary man in front of them, their hearts filled with gratitude and respect.

"Ah Sheng, you're finally back!" Li Xiaolian held Gu Sheng's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "You must have suffered a lot outside these years, right?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." Gu Sheng comforted her, "How about you, how have you been these years?"

"Good, very good!" Gu Daniu said, "Since you arranged this new home for us, our lives have become much more stable. Wan'er is also very hardworking and his cultivation has improved rapidly."

At this point, Gu Daniu couldn't help but sigh: "Ah Sheng, you are really a great benefactor to our family!"

"Brother Daniu, you are too polite." Gu Sheng waved his hand and said, "You took care of me when I was a child. This is what I should do."

As they talked, they walked into the house. A sumptuous banquet had been prepared in the living room. Gu Daniu toasted Gu Sheng frequently to express his admiration for this former neighbor and today's powerful man.

"A Sheng, I'll toast you! Thank you for your great kindness to our family!" Gu Daniu picked up the wine glass and said excitedly.

"Uncle Daniu, you are too polite." Gu Sheng smiled and replied, "We are all family, and we should help each other."

During the dinner, Li Xiaolian kept asking Gu Sheng about his experiences and observations outside. She was full of curiosity and yearning for the changes over the years.

"Ah Sheng, please tell us about the outside world." Li Xiaolian looked at Gu Sheng expectantly, "We have been staying here for all these years and know nothing about the outside world."

Gu Sheng nodded and began to tell about his adventures outside. He told how he fought against powerful enemies, how he went through untold hardships to find cultivation resources, and how he broke through himself on the brink of life and death... His story moved everyone present.

Gu Wan listened to Gu Sheng's story quietly, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that although his cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Marrow Refining Realm and he had a mid-level earth-level mysterious weapon that could barely fight Zhao Honglie, he still seemed so insignificant in front of a truly powerful person. He longed to become stronger!
After the dinner, Gu Sheng chatted with Gu Wan's family for a long time before saying goodbye.

"Swoosh--" A figure flew across the sky and landed steadily in the Royal Garden. Gu Sheng, the former genius of the Red Cloud Continent, now a strong man who has returned from training abroad, received a special invitation from the Purple Frost Queen. (End of this chapter)
