Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 484 - 365

```

The Tower Supervisor of Arsenal, Xu Tianying, and the head of Mysterious Pill Workshop, Yuan Xiong, watched in utter horror the scene unfolding on the distant battlefield. Their hearts nearly stopped beating.

Both of them were slack-jawed with shock—what had they seen? Two elders from one of the six sacred lands, the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, had met their demise; one beheaded by a single strike from Gu Chen, the other impaled midair by the top-tiered divine weapon, Cang Yuan Sword, wielded by Gu Chen!

The sight was too astonishing!

Although both were at the full circle of the Innate Realm just like Xu Tianying and Yuan Xiong, in terms of cultivation, physical martial prowess, and in all other aspects, the origins of Xi Jie and Hu Wei from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect meant they far surpassed the latter two.

These two individuals each had mastered three Earthly Martial Skills to the introductory level and held top-tiered divine weapons. Joined together, they still could not defeat Gu Chen and were all slain by him in one battle.

Moreover, this might not even be the full extent of Gu Chen’s strength.

Because Xu Tianying and Yuan Xiong saw clearly that, compared to Xi Jie and Hu Wei who were fighting with all their might pushed to the extreme, Gu Chen remained calm and composed from beginning to end, overwhelmingly at ease.

"He…"

After exchanging glances, Xu Tianying and Yuan Xiong saw the ashen color on each other’s faces, their foreheads covered with cold sweat, and their bodies trembling slightly.

The dread that Gu Chen instilled in these two grandmasters of martial arts at the complete circle of the Innate Realm was profound.

Afar, Gu Chen took measured steps, and with each step, the earth rhythmically pulsed beneath him as he walked toward the two.

Following this battle, the local branch of Arsenal was in ruins, razed completely to the ground, and none of its martial artists survived.

Seeing Gu Chen approaching, Xu Tianying, the Tower Supervisor of Arsenal, and Yuan Xiong, the head of Mysterious Pill Workshop, had faces like dead ashes. With Gu Chen’s reputation as a butcher well-known throughout the world, they naturally did not think Gu Chen would spare them.

At this moment, overwhelming regret filled their hearts, but as grandmasters of the martial path at the Innate Realm, they did not cry out nor roar; at this point, they had instead calmed down.

"The Innate I sent was killed by you, wasn’t he?" Xu Tianying asked, looking at Gu Chen who had approached nearby.

Hearing this, Gu Chen’s brow initially raised before he then remembered that earlier on, he had indeed killed an Innate using the power of a mysterious gauntlet.

"Correct." Now that his cultivation had reached fruition, there was no need to hide, and he simply nodded to admit it.

"The mysterious expert in that battle at Yan State was also you, right? It was you who concealed your identity and rescued Da Xia." The head of Mysterious Pill Workshop, Yuan Xiong, asked with a calm gaze.

They had both accepted their fate and now only sought to die with clear understanding.

"Yes."

The Battle of Yan State was some time ago, and besides the Tower Supervisor of Qintian Monitor in Da Xia, they were the first to learn this truth. Upon hearing this, the pupils of Xu Tianying and Yuan Xiong dramatically constricted.

"If I remember correctly, at that time, you had just made a breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm. How could you possibly…" Xu Tianying was incredulous.

Yuan Xiong also stared unblinkingly at Gu Chen, eager for an answer.

But seeing that Gu Chen remained silent, both men shook their heads with a wry smile. They knew that with such secrets at stake, even on the brink of death, Gu Chen would not divulge anything to them.

Then, with a self-deprecating laugh, they said, "We admit, we regret it. Had we known this would happen, we truly shouldn’t have opposed you. But then again, who could have imagined you would possess such an extraordinary destiny and talent?"

Gu Chen stood there, his Sky Sword radiating sword energy, his eyes calm and without the slightest ripple as he gazed at the two, saying, "In this world, there are no ’what ifs’."

"Indeed, no ’what ifs’," the two echoed with a million emotions, adding, "Believe it or not, we do want to say that facing death, having witnessed a supreme individual like you emerge in the Nine Provinces is also quite eye-opening for us."

After a pause, they continued, "However, don’t think that by killing Xi Jie and Hu Wei, you can look down on the six great holy lands. Not to mention the other holy lands, the Vault of Sky Sword Sect alone has extraordinary strength.

The Innate Realm is not considered strong for them; even the martial artists who have ascended to the Deity Realm, let alone the Coagulation Field Realm, exist in these holy lands."

Upon hearing these words, Gu Chen was somewhat surprised, not expecting that on the verge of death, these two would still offer him such advice.

Xu Tianying and Yuan Xiong said, "We did not reveal this to plead for our lives. Rather, as martial artists of the Nine Provinces, having seen the six great holy lands always looking down on others, occasionally we too wondered whether someone could come along to overturn it all."

The next instant, they both spoke in unison, "Do it."

As the words fell, they closed their eyes, their life’s experiences flashing before them, finally settling on the present.

Xu Tianying and Yuan Xiong were aware that with their deaths, Arsenal and Mysterious Pill Workshop would cease to exist.

Thump!

Gu Chen showed no mercy, his Cang Yuan Sword, as a top-tiered divine weapon, pierced with intense sharpness, running both of their bodies through.

Accompanied by two sprays of blood, Xu Tianying, the Tower Supervisor of Arsenal, and Yuan Xiong, the head of Mysterious Pill Workshop—two eminent figures of reputation in the Nine Provinces—thus fell.

With this, the grievances between them came to an end.

As for Arsenal and Mysterious Pill Workshop, Gu Chen would inform Qin Wu, the Deputy Commander of the Jing Tian Department, to send someone to take over; after all, the business of these two powers extended throughout the Nine Provinces, even reaching into Great Yuan territory. They monopolized both weaponry and medicine, and it could be said they dominated these two fields.
