Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 795 - 561: Cloud Tower, Om Sound_1
"The Saint Child was defeated?!"
Seeing Fu Ling lose his fighting capacity, Huang Yan and Cui Ce's hearts skipped a beat, their bodies breaking out in cold sweat.
Before the battle began, who could have imagined that Gu Chen had the strength to defeat a Saint Child?
Let alone them, even Saint Children like He Lianying could not have imagined it.
"Indeed, the heavenly seed is extraordinary!" At the same time, their hearts were also burning with desire.
Clearly, He Lianying and the others still believed that the main reason Gu Chen had come this far was due to the heavenly seed.
"Luckily, Fu Ling, this cannon fodder, helped us test out Gu Chen's strength," He Lianying and the others secretly said to themselves while also becoming more vigilant against Gu Chen.
As for Fang Lian of the Pure Yang Martial Sect, his eyes blazed as he looked at Gu Chen's left palm.
He could feel it, the ancient artifact was on Gu Chen's person!
But at the same time, his expression darkened, not expecting that the correct method of using the ancient artifact had already been discovered by Gu Chen, and that he was almost fusing with it.

"It doesn't matter, after I slay him and take the ancient artifact back!" the Pure Yang Martial Sect's Saint Child Fang Lian secretly thought. The artifact was of great importance; if revealed, it might lead the other Saint Children to fight for it, so he had to be cautious.
On the other side, at this moment, despite his defeat, Fu Ling was still very unwilling and tried to struggle to his feet.
"I said I would leave you a whole corpse," said Gu Chen, preparing to make his move to end Fu Ling.
"Saint Child!"
At this sight, Huang Yan and Cui Ce were greatly alarmed, but they dared not step forward; if even Fu Ling was no match for Gu Chen, they would simply be delivering themselves to their doom.
These two were no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.
"You feel proud for defeating me? You should know, this is just one of my spiritual bodies, incapable of exerting even one-tenth of my power. If it were my true body here, a single finger would be enough to crush you, easier than crushing an ant!" Fu Ling said coldly, his eyes chilling.
His pride was clearly wounded by the taste of defeat, even if it was just a spiritual body and not his true self.
Gu Chen, hearing this, retorted unabashedly, "Under the same conditions, you can't even see my shadow, what pride are you talking about?!"
"Nothing but a lower realm native. Without the heavenly seed, you are nothing!" Fu Ling retorted unwillingly against Gu Chen.
"If you were born in the Nine Provinces without all those resources to back you, what would you be?" Gu Chen sneered coldly, saying, "Victory makes a king; defeat makes a bandit. You are just a loser making excuses for himself, and you still claim the title of Saint Child?"
"You!"
At Gu Chen's words, Fu Ling was overwhelmed with anger, and blood surged from his mouth due to his rage, his complexion turning ghostly pale.
"If you dare show up in the upper realm, I will never let you go; I will kill you!" Fu Ling gritted his teeth, his handsome face distorted hideously with blood flowing from the seven apertures, an unsettling sight.
This time, Gu Chen did not speak. He approached Fu Ling, lifting his foot high, ready to extinguish the last spark of his life.
Seeing Gu Chen dare humiliate him this way, Fu Ling grew even angrier, struggling incessantly to get up.
"Stop!"
At that moment, seeing Gu Chen about to finish off Fu Ling, He Lianying and the others flashed a look of determination and stepped forward to block Gu Chen.
No matter what, they all came from the upper realm, and were Saint Child-level figures. They could accept defeat, but to be killed by Gu Chen in such a manner was unacceptable.
If word got out, He Lianying and the others would also lose face.
Moreover, hailing from the upper realm, Gu Chen naturally became their shared enemy.
Even when faced alone with several Saint Child-level figures, Gu Chen remained undaunted, calmly looking at them.
This attitude deeply displeased He Lianying and the others.
But at that time, Zhen Yuan of the Wuji Dao Sect, Bai Jingyuan of the Cloud Heaven Palace, and Su Nan of the Xumi Buddhist Sect joined Gu Chen's side.
"Zhen Yuan, what do you three mean by this? Are you really going to oppose us to the end?" Seeing this, He Lianying and his companions immediately darkened in complexion.
If Gu Chen joined forces with Zhen Yuan and the others, things would truly become difficult that day.
"Don't forget, we also come from the upper realm. To seize the Nine Tripods, are you going to stand on the same side as a lower realm native and give up on both the Nine Tripods and the heavenly seed?" Fang Lian of the Pure Yang Martial Sect demanded.
At these words, Zhen Yuan of the Wuji Dao Sect remained unperturbed, but Bai Jingyuan of the Cloud Heaven Palace and Su Nan of Xumi Buddhist Sect visibly hesitated.
"I advise you to think carefully; once you make a decision, how will you explain it to the higher-ups of your sects when you return?" Saint Child He Lianying of Mount Tianzhu said with a sinister gaze.
Hearing this, Bai Jingyuan and Su Nan glanced at Gu Chen and became somewhat silent.
Gu Chen stood in his dark robe, his black hair loose, his expression serene, and silently let them make their choice.
"I'm sorry," Bai Jingyuan of the Cloud Heaven Palace apologized to Gu Chen.
"Amitabha," Su Nan of the Xumi Buddhist Sect also intoned the Buddha's name.
Unfazed, Gu Chen calmly replied, "It doesn't matter."
He Lianying and the others revealed smiles at this scene.
But the next moment, the words spoken by Bai Jingyuan caused their expressions to change once more.
"Brother Gu, if you ask me to just give up, truth be told, I'm indeed very unwilling, and it would be hard to explain upon my return to the upper realm. How about we each make a move to determine the outcome?" Bai Jingyuan, the Saint Child of the Cloud Heaven Palace, said with a smile.
