Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 745 - 530 Gu Chen VS Bastu_1

Moon Reflecting Lake, situated at the border between Da Xia and Da Yuan, was breathtakingly beautiful. The lake water, clear to the bottom, resembled an enormous, flawless sapphire embedded into the land, reflecting the blue and white heavens above, and shimmering with an otherworldly luster.

Especially at night, the whole lake would emit a soft glow, projecting the image of the moon in the sky onto its surface with unparalleled clarity—a rare and magnificent sight to behold.

Right now, the onlookers by the lake were dumbfounded, as if struck dumb, the entire area enveloped in an eerie silence, so profound that one might say a pin drop could be heard.

Just when everyone thought Gu Chen wouldn’t show up, thinking he was too cowardly to appear since the appointed time had passed, he suddenly made his entrance.

And his arrival was nothing short of domineering, a complete mess. Even Bastu, the Divine Intent Martial Artist and national teacher of Da Yuan Country, couldn’t stop him, leaving everyone in utter shock.

Bastu himself stood rooted to the spot, as though he hadn’t quite come to terms with what had happened.

Boom!

Immediately after, the crowd erupted into uproar; on Da Xia’s side, every face was filled with exhilaration, as if they had just regained hope.

"Marquis of Wu An! Marquis of Wu An!"

"The Marquis of Wu An is invincible!"

At this moment, all the people of Da Xia were shouting Gu Chen’s name. His appearance had filled them with great excitement, and some of their voices even trembled.

Gu Chen’s forceful arrival was like a shot of adrenaline to everyone from Da Xia, instantly dispelling the frustration from moments before, elevating their spirits to the highest level.

After all, even Bastu had been unable to block him, and Gu Chen’s immediate slaying of the principal offenders had given everyone a feeling of exhilaration, lifting the earlier sense of oppression from their hearts.

In that moment, everyone from Da Yuan was pale with fear, trembling. With the lesson right in front of them, no one dared to speak.

Within the crowd from Da Xia, Qin Wu was also somewhat stunned, seemingly not anticipating Gu Chen’s appearance. Although his actions were gratifying, Qin Wu still harbored great concern and was pessimistic about beating Bastu.

Yuan Feng and the Holy Land’s people, witnessing this scene, were also surprised, but they soon shook their heads. After all, it was just a few inconsequential underlings.

"Indeed, a young man, just as rumored, full of vigor." Bastu, clad in a black robe and towering in stature, eyes flashing with brilliance and exuding an imposing aura, turned around to look at Gu Chen.

This time, he didn’t strike; instead, he mobilized the supreme qi momentum of a Divine Intent Realm martial artist to suppress Gu Chen!

Hum!

Instantly, an overwhelmingly powerful qi momentum was released, suppressing the surroundings. Cracks appeared on the ground, and nearby Moon Reflecting Lake shook violently, its surface rippling with countless waves.

Looking at Bastu at this moment, people felt as if they were facing a heavenly deity, finding it impossible to resist in their hearts, an indescribable sensation emerging within everyone, their knees bending involuntarily, wanting to kneel on the ground in complete submission to the national teacher of Da Yuan Country.

This was the terrifying power of a Divine Intent martial artist, with merely qi momentum able to intimidate all.

He was like the king of beasts in the jungle, while others were like herbivorous rabbits. Upon seeing the king of beasts, they felt fear and powerlessness, instinctively wanting to submit.

This was a fundamental suppression, difficult to withstand, leaving many drenched in sweat, their bodies soaked.

Even Qin Wu, who had reached the pinnacle of the Coagulation Field Realm as the deputy leader of Jing Tian Department, and Yuan Feng from the Holy Land could not bear it, retreating continuously, not to mention others.

"Hm?"

But at this moment, Bastu’s brow furrowed because he discovered that Gu Chen, who was closest to him, remained unaffected under his powerful qi momentum, standing there as if nothing had happened, a faint smile on his lips as he looked at him.

"Something’s not right," Bastu frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

"Could this young man have also achieved the Divine Intent Realm?" A startling thought emerged in Bastu’s mind, startling himself greatly.

"No, impossible!" He quickly dismissed the thought from his mind.

After all, he had accumulated years of effort, overcoming countless hardships, before finally succeeding. Even if Gu Chen was a genius, he was still only in his twenties, so how could he have possibly condensed Divine Intent?

Furthermore, setting aside the Divine Intent, just the process of refining one’s true qi into True Yuan was extremely difficult. Bastu had spent a long time on this step before he was successful.

He didn’t believe that Gu Chen, who had only recently reached the Coagulation Field Realm, could even dream of achieving great mastery, much less having the time to consolidate Divine Intent and refine True Yuan.

In Bastu’s view, reaching the late stages of the Coagulation Field Realm in less than a year was already a marvel; to refine True Yuan and break through to the Divine Intent was pure fantasy!

"Da Yuan Country’s national teacher, Bastu? Show me your true strength!" said Gu Chen, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his expression calm.

Hearing these words, those who had retreated to a distance were shocked, each of them silently admiring that the Marquis of Wu An was indeed exceptional, unaffected even by the qi momentum of a Divine Intent Realm powerhouse.

However, no matter how outstanding he was, once Divine Intent was involved, submission was the only option, for even the heavens and earth would change colors for it, and it was not something humans could contend with.
