Chapter 2 Sudden Enlightenment

"Senior, please..."

"Bang!"

Blood mist exploded!

The Blood Demon Ancestor couldn't even cry out for mercy before his entire body was shredded into pieces by the bloody Sword Qi, leaving not even a whole corpse.

The bright red blood splattered in all directions, forming a grotesque lotus shape, and in an instant, the fierce fighting atmosphere around them thickened.

"He's dead! The master is dead!"

"One sword destroyed his Qi Refining! This young man is terrifying!"

"Run! Run for it!"

The next moment, the other three, who had regained their senses, screamed in terror and ran away as fast as they could, disregarding the guards surrounding the carriage.

If the Blood Demon Ancestor at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm was killed by a single sword, these Blood Exchange Martial Artists wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!

At this time, the young man on the carriage also came to his senses and immediately clasped his hands together, "Thank you, senior, for your righteousness..."

"Hahahaha!"

At that moment, a burst of hearty laughter erupted.

Amid the blood mist and scattered corpses, the middle-aged man laughed wildly, his eyes filled with indulgence and wanton pleasure.

It seemed as though killing was the most delightful enjoyment for him in this world.

The scene suddenly...

created an ominous premonition in the hearts of the young man and the elder who had Qi Refinement cultivation.

"Gu... Gu Jinlai..."

At this time, a guard beside the man suddenly stammered, shivering uncontrollably.

"Gu Jinlai!?"

The elder's pupils dilated, and his heart sank rapidly.

Though Lingxiao City was eight hundred miles away from Changjun City, as giants of the Refining God Realm, who wasn't a renowned figure, known throughout a state and famous for miles around?

The name of Gu Jinlai, an elder of the Purgatory Demon Sect, was not an exaggeration to say it could stop a crying child.

Especially recently, pushed by Zhengyi Dao and supposedly with the backing of the upper echelons of the Purgatory Demon Sect, the news had been full of the noised hunts targeting this devilish giant, which he also had caught wind of from his location in Lingxiao City.

Originally, he thought that this devil should have been eliminated by a group of Righteous Sect cultivators, but unexpectedly...

He was still alive!

And they had run into him?

Listening to Gu Jinlai's wild, crazy laughter, full of murderous aura, the elder felt as though a dark Demon Flame was rising from his body, turning into a dark cloud that covered the sky and enveloped the area, sending shivers down his spine.

Out of the tiger's den, into the dragon's pool!

"Protect the young master, let's go!"

The elder roared, his eyes filled with determination, "We must inform the State Governor of what happened in Lingxiao City!"

"Uncle Fu!"

The young man, regaining his senses, flashed a look of anguish.

Yet, he clearly understood that now was not the time for sorrow, he angrily looked at Gu Jinlai, and under the protection of the guards, he quickly retreated.

"..."

Gu Jinlai, who had been laughing heartily, was somewhat speechless and embarrassed by the young man's glare.

What's wrong with Gu Jinlai?

Had he, the good guy, done something wrong?

However, feeling good at the moment, he couldn't be bothered to care more.

He directly submerged his Divine Sense into the Spirit of Qing Lian at the center of his mental world.

The figure showed three glowing orbs.

Great Sun Devilish Brilliance Skill, Six Desires Demon Skill, Red Lotus Sword Qi.

These were the cultivation techniques he practiced.

The Great Sun Devilish Brilliance Skill was a technique for before Refining God, and he had cultivated it to the utmost perfection.

The Refining God Technique was the Six Desires Demon Skill, cultivated by tormenting other beings and absorbing their emotional energies to stimulate mental cultivation.

A thorough Devil's cultivation technique.

This technique had gone into a dark state following the original Gu Jinlai's cultivation deviation.

If he didn't want his Karma BUFF to further stack up to eleven or twelve layers, it would be best not to practice it anymore.

Excluding two of the orbs, he could only enhance the Red Lotus Sword Qi.

He glanced at the Qingguang he had obtained from slaying the Blood Demon Ancestor.

Two.

No wonder he seemed redder than himself in his eyes.

Full of sin, towering Karma.

"Two Qingguang."

Gu Jinlai's expression changed.

One Qingguang could only cleanse one layer of Karma BUFF, and the difference between ten layers and nine was not significant.

But his pursuers had already been upgraded from Zhengyi sixth son in the Qi Refining Realm to the Star State Four Fierce in the Gang Condensation Realm, and it wouldn't be long until he encountered those known as Great Cultivators in the Hugging Pill Realm.

Unquestionably, what he needed most was strength!

If he still had the Refining God Realm, Zhengyi Dao? Star State Four Fierce? Mere jesters, how dare they act so brazenly in his presence!?

Ancient Demon!?

Hmph!

They should nicely call him Grandpa Gu!

With this thought, Gu Jinlai's gaze fell on the "Red Lotus Sword Qi: Entry-Level" orb of light, and a beam of clear light smashed into it.

"Buzz, buzz!"

The clear light washed over it.

Above the Qing Lian, his consciousness had a sudden enlightenment, and his thoughts became incredibly clear. All sorts of memories and inspirations about the Red Lotus Sword Qi surged forth, intertwining as one, revealing all sorts of mysteries at a glance.

Red Lotus Sword Qi: Entry-Level→Small Achievement.

By the time the clear light dissipated, he had already taken several steps in the Small Achievement stage.

"A single revelation lasts only ten seconds, with effects equivalent to saving ten years of hard cultivation."

Gu Jinlai felt the growth of his own strength and sighed in relief, "It's still the brain that moves on its own, no need for me to strain myself."

"Small Achievement isn't enough, add more! More!"

Without hesitation, the clear light shone again, as if recharging.

In an instant, visions of swords and sabres flashed through his mind.

As the second beam of clear light faded, the Red Lotus Sword Qi had already reached Great Achievement.

Gu Jinlai silently digested this.

A person's energy is limited.

Back in the day, "Gu Jinlai" had only cultivated the Red Lotus Sword Qi to Small Achievement.

He had spent his whole life cultivating to the Refining God, how could he have spare time to spend twenty years advancing a Hugging Pill swordsmanship to the Great Achievement Realm?

You should know, this world belongs to a lower level of Xianxia, which includes Xia character.

The Xia of martial arts.

The so-called Hugging Pill is merely cycling Qi through the meridians and having a leakproof True Body, by no means capable of prolonged longevity.

In this realm, cultivators who live up to two hundred years are masters of health cultivation techniques, most only live around one hundred and fifty to one sixty.

Twenty years is also considered lengthy for them.

"The Six Desires Demon Skill went awry due to deviation, but the Great Sun Devilish Brilliance Skill is still intact. My own True Qi cultivation is equivalent to Hugging Pill; I simply couldn't utilize it before, like using a sniper rifle as a club. Now, with the Red Lotus Sword Qi at Great Achievement…"

Gu Jinlai couldn't help feeling stirred.

Maybe, return to Changjun City?

His house, car, and money were still there.

Soon, he shifted his attention.

"But then again, why does the Sword Qi shot out by the Red Lotus Sword Qi have to look like lotus petals? Just to look good? That's not consistent with aerodynamics."

This made him, a believer that everything was possible, quite uncomfortable.

...

While he was enjoying the happiness of cultivation points here, beside him, an elder drenched in sweat due to nervousness could no longer hold back.

"Devil, what exactly do you want to do!?"

The elder shouted loudly.

The disturbed Gu Jinlai gave him an annoyed glance.

Knowing they had misunderstood him, he couldn't bother to argue, waved his hand, and signaled for him to leave directly.

In a moment, he remembered something and his gaze began sizing up the elder.

"Take off your clothes."

Gu Jinlai suddenly said.

The elder was startled, then, his eyes widened.

He had long heard that the devils of the Ten Great Demon Sects were bloodthirsty and ruthless, evil, and perverted, and he hadn't expected the Ancient Demon to actually...

The elder gritted his teeth: "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated, I…"

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, another bout of carefree and unrestrained laughter came from afar: "Ancient Demon, indeed it's you!"

Next, four robust figures approached like devils, striding forward, with one of them even carrying a young man.

It was one of the four disciples who had fled from the Blood Demon Ancestor.

"Captured a little demon brat to interrogate, and ended up with this surprise, what an unexpected delight."

"Star State Four Fierce?"

Gu Jinlai recognized the identities of the four men.

It was the four Gang Condensation who had chased him into frantic flight not long ago.

"No wonder there were magpies calling this morning; it turns out it was good fortune knocking at the door! The heavens want us four brothers to take your ancient demon head as a bounty!"

"Ancient Demon, your days are numbered, last time we let you escape quickly, but this time, you won't be able to spread your wings!"

The four rapidly approached, directly making a pincer move against Gu Jinlai.

"Today, we four are here for your life!"

"Star State Four Fierce, all four are together."

Gu Jinlai took a deep breath, facing the great threat seriously, "I have roamed across the world for many decades, and you four…"

Seeing that they had already very consciously closed in…

He couldn't contain it anymore.

Great joy!

Joy written all over his face!

"Good, good, good! The fact that you four have come at this time is really perfect!"
