Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 673 - 488 Confrontation with the Barbarian High Priest_2

```

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Gu Chen's figure emerged from the void beside him and he launched a punch directly at the face of the barbarian tribe's high priest, Saranguis.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort and a look of disdain on his aged face, Saranguis lightly tapped his black wooden staff downward. In an instant, the heavens and earth around them rippled like the surface of a lake brushed by a light breeze.

And it was at this moment that Gu Chen felt a powerful resistance, as if the entire cosmos around him was repelling him.

"Break!"

But the very next moment, Gu Chen let out a light shout. The 108 acupoints on his body glowed, breaking through the obstruction with unstoppable force.

Bang!

Gu Chen's punch connected, but without any feeling of impact, Saranguis before his eyes dispersed into a cloud of black mist, having been but a clone.

"Soul Locking Skill!"

A sinister and aged voice echoed in Gu Chen's ear, chilling to the bone like a ghoul's whisper.

"Hm?!"

All of a sudden, at the exact moment the voice sounded, Gu Chen felt an intense pain in his mind, leaving his brain blank as if he was incapable of thought.

Bang!

A tremendous force struck him, hurling Gu Chen a dozen yards through the air.

It was also at this time that Gu Chen finally broke free from the constraint, regaining his ability to think and perceive.

At this moment, the barbarian high priest Saranguis stood not far off with knitted brows, evidently surprised to see that Gu Chen was unscathed.

Gu Chen looked down at his chest, at the heart area. The outer layer of his clothing had been torn open to reveal a small hole, showing the armor beneath, which had been made by a genius from the Upper Realm. There was a shallow mark on it.

"It seems that the black staff in Saranguis's hand is also a divine weapon of no lesser strength," Gu Chen pondered.

At the same time, the divine weapon that Yelanbar, the barbarian chieftain, had used to elude Gu Chen's divine sense and infiltrate Yulong City was now with Saranguis.

It could be said that in order to kill Gu Chen, the barbarian high priest was going all out, sparing no effort.

"Killing you is just the beginning. I will make the whole Da Xia tremble at my feet!" Saranguis said. As he spoke, he once again used the Soul Locking Skill, intent on freezing Gu Chen's thoughts and affecting his divine sense.

"God Tempering Heart Sutras!"

At that moment, with his sharp intuition, Gu Chen made a preemptive judgment and used the Heavenly Martial Arts, God Tempering Heart Sutras, to unleash a divine sense attack, conjuring illusions to affect Saranguis, the barbarian high priest.

Gu Chen had also realized that though in terms of physical strength, Saranguis was inferior to him, the high priest possessed various bizarre techniques, a sophistication not found in straightforward warriors like the barbarian chieftain Yelanbar.

"Hm?"

Just as Saranguis was about to deploy the Soul Locking Skill, he found himself in an illusion. With a cold snort, he instantly shattered the illusion that Gu Chen had created.

Having reached the later stages of the Coagulation Field, his divine sense was naturally not weak.

"You are still far from being my equal!" Saranguis's gaze was cold and distant. He flipped his hand and, astonishingly, a strand of Gu Chen's hair appeared in his palm.

"This is..." Suddenly, a bad premonition appeared in Gu Chen's heart. He knew it was the medium for Saranguis's attack.

"Soul Curse Skill!"

As Saranguis, the barbarian high priest, uttered those chilling words, Gu Chen's expression changed drastically, as if struck by lightning. His body shuddered violently and he spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

```

At this moment, Gu Chen's expression changed as he felt an extremely intense pain deep within his mind, as if his entire soul was being ripped apart.

This force was bizarre and difficult to defend against, acting directly on the origin of Gu Chen's spirit, attempting to instantly tear his soul apart and scatter it to the winds.

"Hm?"

At this moment, seeing that Gu Chen hadn't died under his invincible Soul Curse Skill, the grand priest Saranguis was also somewhat surprised.

In his view, how could Gu Chen, with only an early-stage Coagulation Field realm cultivation, withstand his own full-strength strike at the late stage of the Coagulation Field realm?

"You have some tricks, but you're still going to die today!" Saranguis, with his aged face full of murderous intent, believed that with a medium, he could use his Soul Curse Skill three times, and he didn't think Gu Chen could withstand it.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Gu Chen stepped through the LingXu Nine Steps, his fingers together like a sword, repeatedly pointing out, and large streams of Pure Yang Sword Aura burst forth from his fingertips.

"Eight Heavenly Dragons Technique!"

Not only that, but Gu Chen also executed the perfect realm of the Eight Heavenly Dragons Technique. In just an instant, eight huge, serpentine dragons rose from behind him, charging towards the grand priest Saranguis.

At the same time, Gu Chen activated the God Tempering Heart Sutras to counter Saranguis.

"All your efforts are in vain. Today, you're sure to die!"

The grand priest Saranguis's gaze was sinister, and he shouted harshly, "Soul Lock, Curse to Death!"

"Pfft!"

In an instant, as Saranguis launched his attack, blood spurted from Gu Chen's mouth, and fresh blood flowed from all seven of his orifices. His face was extremely pale, his life force was at its weakest, and he looked utterly miserable.

"Do you, a junior, really think you can contend with me?" Seeing Gu Chen's pitiful state, Saranguis couldn't help feeling proud, a cold smirk forming at the corner of his mouth.

"Just one more time, and you're undoubtedly dead. I'll give you a chance, submit to me, and I may spare your life." Saranguis looked down at Gu Chen with a condescending attitude and said indifferently.

As the grand priest of the barbarian tribe, he possessed a secret technique that could clamp down on a warrior's spiritual origin, forcing them to obey his orders for life, turning them into a puppet under his control, with their life or death at his whim.

Clearly, this was Saranguis's intention: to subjugate Gu Chen.

He wasn't worried about Gu Chen's compliance being only superficial; once a technique was applied to the spiritual origin, even if Gu Chen was a genius or the Tower Supervisor of Da Xia, he couldn't be saved.

In Saranguis's view, the situation was already decided. Faced with death, even the greatest martial prodigy in the history of the Yan State might feel fear.

After all, Gu Chen was too young, which Saranguis saw as his weakness.

In the face of life and death, no one can remain unaffected.

"You're so young, and with such talent, wouldn't it be too pathetic to die like this? I give you an opportunity, submit to me, help me accomplish three things, and then you're free to go," said Saranguis.

In his opinion, Gu Chen had no other choice.

At this moment, the barbarian grand priest's face was full of arrogance, as if he had Gu Chen completely under his control.

If Gu Chen proved too obstinate, then Saranguis would have no choice but to kill him.

"Submit to you? You are not worthy!" Gu Chen sneered coldly, even with a hint of disdain.

After all, not even Dugu Yun, the leader of the demonic sect, had managed to overpower Gu Chen. It was even less likely for the grand priest Saranguis to do so.

"Stubborn fool!" Saranguis said darkly, his face as grim as dark waters, "Since that's the case, I'll send you on your way. Because of your foolishness, I will make countless people from the Human Clan in Yan State join you in death!"

The next instant, Saranguis's voice, like that of a demon, rang out again, "Soul Lock, Curse to Death!"
