Chapter 249: Fighting the Headless Knight and the Two Great Prideful Ones

He continued to sit cross-legged in seclusion and began further cultivation.

Lin Tianhao was unwilling to give up, so he also picked a fruit, put it into his mouth, and began to retreat.

After an unknown period of time, Gu Sheng's whole body was filled with golden light, and a huge energy rushed up into the sky. The huge aura shook the mountains and beasts to flee, and even the cliffs made a buzzing sound.

The sky was like a huge wave in the center of a lake, rolling and spreading to the distance.

Then came Lin Tianhao's breakthrough, with a myriad of strange phenomena.

The people at the foot of the mountain only felt that there were thunder rolling on the top of the mountain, fairy mist lingering and diffused, and there seemed to be a howling wind, but they could not see anything.

Gu Sheng looked inside his whole body and found that he had not made any further breakthroughs in his cultivation, but he felt that the power in his body was even more powerful.

Lin Tianhao was also stunned. He had clearly eaten the divine fruit, so why didn't he break through?

The two of them seemed to be in a hurry, and divided the last four divine fruits, each of them got two.

When the two left the divine pool, it was already as dark as ink at night.

The wind howled.

On a desolate battlefield, Gu Sheng and Lin Tianhao faced a majestic and terrifying existence - the Headless Knight.

Gu Sheng's cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Golden Bone Realm, and his golden body shone brightly in the moonlight, as hard as steel.

His Nine Swords of Gale were unmatched, and his invisibility technique, Shadow Hiding Technique, made him feel at home in battle.

Although Lin Tianhao's cultivation had reached the first level of the Marrow Refining Realm, his Haoyang Sword Technique was incredibly powerful, and his sword energy was so powerful that it seemed to tear the world apart.

The Headless Knight held a huge stone axe in his hand, and his momentum was magnificent. Although he didn't speak, every move was full of threats.

He was like a moving mountain, daunting.

"Gu Sheng, be careful, this Headless Knight is not easy to deal with." Lin Tianhao reminded in a low voice.

Gu Sheng nodded, he took a deep breath, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

This is exactly his invisibility technique, Shadow Hiding Skill, which can hide his figure in a short time and make it difficult for the enemy to grasp.

Seeing this, Lin Tianhao immediately swung his long sword and used the Haoyang sword technique with all his strength.

The hot sword energy cut through the night sky and went straight to the Headless Knight. The Headless Knight was not afraid at all. He waved the stone axe and easily blocked Lin Tianhao's attack.

At this moment, Gu Sheng suddenly rushed out from the dark, and the Nine Swords of Gale attacked the Headless Knight like a storm.

The sword light flashed, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Something unexpected happened. The Headless Knight suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the stone axe in his hand instantly turned into a stream of light, going straight to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng was shocked when he saw this. He quickly used the invisibility technique Shadow Hiding Skill to avoid this attack.

The attack speed of the Headless Knight was too fast. Gu Sheng was hit by the stream of light of the stone axe as soon as he appeared.

"Gu Sheng!"

Lin Tianhao was shocked when he saw this, and he immediately rushed forward to rescue Gu Sheng.

Just as Lin Tianhao rushed up, Gu Sheng's body suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a strong breath emanated from him.

It turned out that Gu Sheng stimulated the potential in his body at the critical moment, and his cultivation instantly broke through to a new realm.

His golden holy body became more dazzling, and the power of the Nine Swords of Gale became more amazing.

Gu Sheng took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the Nine Swords of Gale attacked the Headless Knight like a storm.

And Lin Tianhao also seized the opportunity, and used the Haoyang Sword Technique to the fullest to attack with Gu Sheng.

The two cooperated tacitly, and the offensive was as surging as the tide. Although the Headless Knight was powerful, he gradually fell into a disadvantage under the joint attack of the two.

After dozens of confrontations, Gu Sheng's Nine Swords of Gale and Lin Tianhao's Haoyang Sword Technique killed the Headless Knight's body at the same time.

The Headless Knight let out a horrifying scream, and his body instantly collapsed into rubble and dissipated into the air.

Gu Sheng and Lin Tianhao were also exhausted, but they knew that the battle was finally over.

The two smiled at each other, with a gleam of victory in their eyes.

"Alas~"

At this time, a long sigh suddenly came from the clouds.

The figure of the Headless Knight appeared in front of the two again. Although his breath was much weaker, his eyes were shining with a firm light.

The battle was not over.

Two powerful auras were approaching them quickly.

It was a man and a woman, and the two did not seem to have any emotional fluctuations.

There was not even a breath at all.

Gu Sheng and Lin Tianhao stood on the top of the red cloud, facing the pair of men and women in white.

The two looked like a perfect couple, but their eyes were empty, as if they had no souls.

"Gu Sheng, this man and woman are a bit weird!" Lin Tianhao's eyes flashed with a firm light.

Gu Sheng nodded, his golden body gleaming in the sun, the long sword in his hand flashing with cold light:

"Tianhao, you and I will join forces to break their Jade Maiden Sword Technique."

The two of them were in tune with each other, Gu Sheng's Nine Swords of Gale were as fast as the wind, and Lin Tianhao's Haoyang Sword Technique was like a raging fire.

The two sword techniques reflected each other, like a magnificent painting unfolding on the battlefield.

The Jade Maiden Sword Technique of the man and woman in white was like a continuous stream, dissolving the attacks of Gu Sheng and Lin Tianhao one by one. Their sword techniques seemed to contain some mysterious power that was unpredictable.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Gu Sheng and Lin Tianhao gradually felt powerless.

Although their attacks were fierce, they could not break the defense of the man and woman in white.

Just as the two were thinking about it and preparing to find a new breakthrough, Gu Sheng suddenly found a flaw in the man and woman in white.

He was moved and shouted to Lin Tianhao:

"Tianhao, watch the right moment, let's launch the strongest attack together!"

When Lin Tianhao heard this, he immediately adjusted his state and waited for Gu Sheng's signal with all his heart.

At the moment when Gu Sheng's Nine Swords of Gale and the Jade Girl's swordsmanship of the man and woman in white collided, Lin Tianhao's Haoyang Swordsmanship followed closely and violently exploded.

The two sword energies met in the air, forming a bright light.

Although the men and women in white struggled to resist, their defenses were finally broken in the face of this powerful force.

Gu Sheng and Lin Tianhao's attacks hit the bodies of the men and women in white hard, knocking them back instantly.

Just when the two thought the battle was over, the man and woman in white suddenly turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared into the air.

Only two long swords and the figures of Gu Sheng and Lin Tianhao looking at each other were left on the spot.

They looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock and confusion.

"They...are actually the living dead?" Lin Tianhao's voice was trembling.

Gu Sheng nodded, his eyes flashing with deep light:

"Yes, this man and woman are puppet slaves driven by the prohibition of the law.

Their existence is to protect a certain secret or treasure. "

The two of them each took away a Jade Girl Sword, which was regarded as the spoils of this battle.

After the dust of the treasure-hunting trial in the Red Cloud Abyss settled, various factions began to take stock of the gains from this trial, and the atmosphere was full of expectations and discussions.

"Have you heard? The gains from this trial of the Holy Pill Sect are simply astonishing!"

A disciple of Qiandu Sect whispered, with a hint of envy and unwillingness in his eyes.

"Yes, I heard that Gu Sheng alone got a high-grade Xuan-level Jade Girl Sword, and a fragment of a treasure that is suspected to be beyond the Xuan-level!"

An elder of the Crazy Blade Sect widened his eyes and his tone was full of shock.

At this time, the elders of Shengdan Sect looked proud. Their sect's harvest indeed exceeded that of other sects.

"That kid Gu Sheng is so lucky. Not only did he get such a precious treasure, but he also got the bottle of divine spring and two divine fruits. It's really enviable."

An elder from the Shengdan Sect said with a smile.

Lin Tianhao, the representative of Haoyang Sect, stood aside with a smile. Although their sect's harvest was not as good as that of Shengdan Sect, it was still quite generous.

"Lin Tianhao, your Haoyang Sect is not bad this time. I heard that you also got a lot of good things."

The head of the Qian family said with appreciation.

"Yes, our Haoyang Sect has indeed gained a lot this time."

Lin Tianhao responded modestly.

At this time, Gu Sheng and Wen Mingyan also came in front of everyone. Gu Sheng did not show his harvest. This kind of thing was too eye-catching after all.

Wen Mingyan was holding a high-grade Xuan-grade Qinggang sword and a mid-grade Xuan-grade bamboo flute in his hands, with a proud smile on his face.

He has always been confident and is not afraid of being noticed by thieves.

"Gu Sheng and Wen Mingyan, you two are really the pride of our Shengdan Sect!"

One of the elders praised.

"The elder has given you the award, we just have better luck." Gu Sheng responded humbly.

At this time, Lu Junyi also came over. What he mainly harvested were various magical medicines. There were several plants of Scrophulariaceae, fairy grass, Ganoderma and other magical medicines above the Mysterious level.

"Lu Junyi, your gains from this trial are not small." An elder from the Haoyang Sect said approvingly.

"Yes, this trial really opened my eyes." Lu Junyi responded excitedly.

Discussions among the various factions broke out one after another, and everyone was proud of their sect's harvest.

After the dust of the Red Cloud Abyss trial settled, Gu Sheng's name was in the sky, and many forces offered him olive branches.

Invitations came like snowflakes and piled up.

Gu Sheng is a man with unique vision. He declined invitations from all the men, but only accepted the hunting invitation from Princess Yun Zishuang.

You can call him lustful, but he doesn't care.

What he cares more about is living this life in his own way.

"Gu Sheng, how dare you be so arrogant and refuse our invitation!"

Prince Yun Tingyu's face was gloomy, and his voice was full of anger and unwillingness.

Gu Sheng just smiled faintly, as if he didn't care about Yun Tingyu's anger.

He shook his head gently and said: "Your Highness, it's not that Gu is arrogant, it's just that Gu has made up his mind and just wants to go hunting with like-minded people."

Yun Tingyu choked at Gu Sheng's words. He turned and left with a livid face, but in his heart he became more determined to suppress Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng felt that this prince was too childish and the city government didn't even understand him. How could such a idiot compete with Princess Zishuang?

That is a woman who combines beauty and wisdom.

The day of the royal hunt has finally arrived. The sun shines on the dense forest, and the sight of all the beasts galloping is heart-stirring.

Gu Sheng formed a strong team with Yun Zishuang, Linghu Qingwan, Mu Yuanyuan, Lin Qingyu and others.

It wasn't that Gu Sheng insisted on winning over these beauties, but that these beauties came over shamelessly.

One princess brought Linghu Qingwan, and the others all came together with their own plans.

Prince Yun Tingyu and other young ladies formed another team. They joined forces with Governor Jiang Xiaotian, Kuangdao Sect Zhu Bao, Qian Family Qian Duoduo and others to suppress Gu Sheng in the hunt.

"Gu Sheng, do you think you can really compete with us? Today I will show you how powerful we are!"

Yun Tingyu said coldly.

Gu Sheng just smiled slightly. He didn't care about Yun Tingyu's provocation.

He turned to the beauties around him and said, "Everyone, today we will let them see our strength!"

The hunting activity began, and Gu Sheng showed amazing martial arts and keen insight.

He led the beauty group to hunt the most high-level beasts and demon blood beasts, which amazed everyone.

However, Yun Tingyu and others were repeatedly frustrated and crushed by Gu Sheng's literary and martial arts.

"Gu Sheng, you are really an amazing person!"

Yun Zishuang looked at Gu Sheng with admiration in her eyes.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, and he did not get carried away by Yun Zishuang's praise.

He just said lightly: "Princess, you are too flattering, Gu is just lucky."

"Humph!"

A discordant voice rang out.

"Gu Sheng, don't be too proud! Do you think you can really compete with us?" Qian Duoduo said dissatisfiedly.

Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows, but he was not angry. He just responded calmly:

"Mr. Qian, I have never thought of competing with you. It's just hunting, why take it so seriously?"

Qian Duoduo was choked back by Gu Sheng's words. He was very angry, but he could only shut up helplessly.

Just when everyone thought that the verbal battle was about to end, Prince Yun Tingyu suddenly said:

"Gu Sheng, you are indeed an amazing person. If you are willing to submit to us, I can assure you that you will have a higher status and greater power."

Gu Sheng looked at Yun Tingyu, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.

He smiled and said: "Your Highness, I thank you for your kindness. But I am used to a free life and don't like being bound. Moreover, I think going hunting with these beauties is more enjoyable than any power and status!"

Gu Sheng's straightforwardness attracted a round of applause from the beauties.

"Straightforward enough!"

Mo Buwen interjected. This kid seemed to be a light bulb today, the brightest one, like a little sun in a light bulb.

Yun Tingyu was angry. He didn't expect Gu Sheng to be so disrespectful to him.

But he didn't get angry. He just said coldly: "Gu Sheng, you rejected me today, don't regret it!"

Gu Sheng just smiled slightly. He didn't care about Yun Tingyu's threat.

He turned to the beauties around him and said: "Everyone, let's continue hunting beasts!"

Gu Sheng led the beauty group to show their skills in hunting and hunted more high-level beasts and demon blood beasts.

Yun Tingyu and others were repeatedly frustrated and could only accept Gu Sheng's pretentious face.

As the hunting progressed, Gu Sheng's reputation became more and more famous.

He is not only good at both literature and martial arts, but also has superb barbecue skills.

When night falls, he will use modern barbecue technology to grill food for everyone.

The aroma of the meat made everyone salivate, and they all praised Gu Sheng's barbecue skills.

On the last day of hunting, a grand poetry competition was held. (End of this chapter)
