Chapter 942: Chapter 495: Overwhelming Pressure
"Come on!"
Yao Xi snorted softly, then soared into the air.
On the other side, Gu Sheng charged forward with Shi Lou and the weakened Er Gou.
Due to the large number of guards at the entrance, Gu Sheng planned to leap directly out of the backyard to avoid trouble.
But before the three of them reached the courtyard wall, they heard a loud shout.
"Halt!"
Gu Sheng turned his head and saw two guards stationed at the entrance of the Stone Appreciation Conference rushing over from the side.
They held long spears, fierce expressions on their faces.
"What do you want!"
Shi Lou stepped forward alone, blocking Gu Sheng and Er Gou.
Gu Sheng knew that Shi Lou was simply not their match.
Then, Gu Sheng put Er Gou down and said to Shi Lou, "Shi Lou, take care of Er Gou; I’ll handle these two!"
As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, he had already assumed a fighting stance.
He was well aware that since these two guards could protect the entrance of the Stone Appreciation Conference, their strength should not be low.
But at this moment, he couldn’t retreat, and he couldn’t let Shi Lou take risks.
"Huh, boy, who do you think you are? Daring to act wild at the entrance of our Stone Appreciation Conference!"
One of the guards sneered coldly, brandishing his long spear that glimmered coldly in the sunlight.
Gu Sheng ignored their taunts, having already decided how to respond.
"Hoo..."
He took a deep breath, and the Divine Power within him began to surge.
Immediately, the two guards swung their spears and rushed forward.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng quickly called upon the Fire Spirit Dagger.
"Swish!"
A flame flashed.
Simultaneously, Gu Sheng, gripping the dagger, directly met the incoming spears.
"Crack!"
With just one strike, the two guards’ spears were chopped in half.
At the same time, Gu Sheng followed up with a flying kick.
"Ah! Ah!"
Then two screams rang out.
The two guards flew backward several dozen meters.
"Uhh..."
Gu Sheng was speechless, not expecting them to be so vulnerable. He thought it would be a hard-fought battle, but instead, he subdued them with just one move.
"Help! Someone’s causing trouble at the Stone Appreciation Conference!"
The two guards shouted.
"Go!"
Gu Sheng seized the chance to dash through the gate with Shi Lou and Er Gou.
Behind him, a large group of guards was chasing.
Gu Sheng, carrying Er Gou and Shi Lou, couldn’t run fast; if caught, the consequences were imaginable.
"Shi Lou, take Er Gou and go; I’ll cover the rear!"
Worried about accidents happening to Er Gou and Shi Lou, Gu Sheng instructed Shi Lou.
"Brother Sheng! Can you manage on your own?"
Shi Lou asked with concern.
"Are you doubting my ability? Go quickly! Don’t mind me! Meet at the place."
Gu Sheng said, giving Shi Lou a gentle push.
"Alright, we’ll wait for you!"
Shi Lou responded, turning and running without hesitation.
Seeing them leave, Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, a dozen guards surrounded Gu Sheng.
They all radiated hostility, intent on capturing Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng, however, appeared composed, seemingly unperturbed by the severity of the situation.
"Boy! Who are you to dare cause a ruckus at the Stone Appreciation Conference?"
The leading guard questioned coldly.
"I’m not causing trouble; I have urgent matters and need to leave. Your men won’t let me, leading to this misunderstanding,"
Gu Sheng explained with a calm smile.
"Misunderstanding?"
The leading guard looked skeptical.
"Boss! It’s no misunderstanding! He deliberately attacked us!"
At that moment, the two guards who had been beaten rushed forward, looking indignant.
"Hmph! Get him!"
The leader snorted coldly, signaling his subordinates.
Instantly, those guards surrounded Gu Sheng.
"Sss!"
Gu Sheng stirred his Divine Power, forming a protective shield around his body.
Those guards lacked cultivation and couldn’t get close.
In the past, these people wouldn’t have posed any threat, but now Gu Sheng didn’t want to kill unnecessarily. Once he ensured Er Gou and Shi Lou were far away, he planned to fly and find them.
Just as Gu Sheng was about to lift off the ground, the Supreme Elder of Yaochi Holy Land descended from the sky.
"Swish!"
Gu Sheng suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure coming at him.
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, Gu Sheng was forcibly pressed back to the ground by the Supreme Elder’s pressure.
Dust rose, and his figure crashed into the ground, creating a deep pit.
"Whoa!"
A sense of unprecedented crisis filled Gu Sheng’s heart.
He knew that the Supreme Elder before him had strength far exceeding his own, he was by no means a match.
"Hmph!"
The Supreme Elder snorted coldly, a trace of disdain in his eyes: "A mere young lad dares to act wild in my Yaochi Holy Land’s territory?"
His words carried authority, as if everything here was under his control.
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth, slowly standing up from the pit.
A faint golden glow emanated from his body, the Mystic Yellow Power within him automatically protecting its master.
"I can’t fall here; Er Gou and Shi Lou are still waiting for me. I must persevere!"
Gu Sheng silently said to himself.
At the same time, he was prepared to fight to the death.
"Supreme Elder, show mercy!"
At that moment, Yao Xi and Turquoise Pool Immortal rushed over.
Upon seeing Gu Sheng being suppressed by the Supreme Elder, they were almost in tears with concern.
"Supreme Elder, Gu Sheng didn’t mean any offense; we hope you will show mercy."
Yao Xi said urgently.
Turquoise Pool Immortal echoed, "Yes, Supreme Elder, Gu Sheng is our friend. He means no harm."
The Supreme Elder’s gaze swept over Yao Xi and Turquoise Pool Immortal, his brows furrowing slightly.
He knew these two held significant positions within the Holy Land, especially Turquoise Pool Immortal, who was the hope of the Holy Land’s future.
