Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 953: Chapter 500: Goblin Younglings (Part 2)

"Tell me, who is backing you?"

Gu Sheng asked in a low and forceful voice.

The bandit with a limp felt Gu Sheng’s killing intent, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"I... If I tell you, can you let me go?"

The limping bandit stammered.

"Speak!"

Gu Sheng shouted loudly.

This shout directly scared the limping bandit into a shiver.

"It’s... it’s the Qingxia Sect."

The limping bandit replied trembling, not daring to hide anything.

Hearing these three words, Gu Sheng was momentarily stunned.

The Qingxia Sect, wouldn’t you know, it’s the Qingxia Sect again.

Ever since Gu Sheng arrived near Stone Village, he hadn’t heard of the Qingxia Sect doing anything good.

Especially in Sun City, where they almost killed Er Gou and Shi Lou!

"Qingxia Sect! I’ll destroy you!"

Shi Lei roared, his eyes filled with anger and sorrow.

He clenched his fist tightly, his nails almost digging into his flesh.

Immediately, he glared at the limping bandit, a decisive gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Swish!"

Shi Lei rushed forward, punching the limping bandit in the face.

"Bang!"

With this punch, the limping bandit didn’t even have time to scream before falling to the ground.

"Hoo..."

A gentle breeze blew through, making the entire scene somewhat bleak.

"Leave a few people behind to deal with these bodies!"

Gu Sheng instructed the other villagers from Stone Village.

The others followed Gu Sheng back to Master Zhang’s house.

"How is it? Are those bandits gone?"

"Why are you all back? Is anyone still guarding the village gate?"

The other villagers at Master Zhang’s house asked in surprise.

"Don’t worry, Er Gou and Shi Lei have killed all the bandits."

Someone replied.

"Killed... killed them?"

The villagers were once again shocked.

Gu Sheng quickly led Er Gou and Shi Lei to Master Zhang’s bedside.

Gu Sheng said in a deep voice, "Master Zhang, we’ve killed all those bandits."

"Re... really?"

Master Zhang showed a surprised look on his face, "You... you really did it?"

"Yes, Master Zhang, rest assured, from now on, Er Gou will be the Guardian of our Stone Village!"

"And me!"

"And us!"

Shi Lei and the other young men echoed.

"Sigh..."

Master Zhang lightly sighed and said, "But the Qingxia Sect won’t let it go at that, they will retaliate."

Gu Sheng nodded, "Old Zhang, don’t worry, we won’t sit idle waiting for the attack, I’ve already decided to lead Er Gou and the others to wipe out Qingxia Sect."

"Xiao Sheng, Er Gou, be careful, Qingxia Sect isn’t easy to deal with."

Master Zhang’s eyes were filled with worry.

Gu Sheng patted Master Zhang’s hand, firmly saying, "Don’t worry, we won’t act rashly; we’ll prepare thoroughly and then take down Qingxia Sect in one fell swoop."

Er Gou stood by, his eyes also resolute: "Master Zhang, rest assured, we won’t let Stone Village’s people sacrifice in vain, those bandits, and the Qingxia Sect behind them, we’ll make them pay the price."

Master Zhang looked at these two young men and nodded in satisfaction.

He knew the future of Stone Village rested on these young people.

Seeing the village settled, Gu Sheng flew with Er Gou towards Shi Lou’s location.

Approaching Divine Wood Forest, they saw Shi Lou guarding beside Shi Shanlin.

As soon as they landed, Shi Lou came forward to ask, "How is the village? Are the people okay?"

Er Gou sighed, his face darkened, "Master Zhang was injured, and some others were killed."

"What! I’m going to find them!"

Shi Lou said angrily.

"No need, Er Gou has already killed them all."

Gu Sheng finished speaking, looking towards the pale-faced Shi Shanlin.

"Shanlin, how are you feeling?"

"I... I feel utterly uncomfortable."

Shi Shanlin’s breath was weak as he spoke.

Gu Sheng saw Shi Shanlin’s pale face and weak breath, and his heart tightened.

He knew Shi Shanlin must have suffered significant damage.

"Never mind, I’ll help you regain your strength."

Finished speaking, Gu Sheng took a deep breath and mobilized the Divine Power within.

Instantly, Gu Sheng’s hands glowed faintly with golden light, slowly pressing against Shi Shanlin’s back.

The Divine Power, like warm sunlight, penetrated Shi Shanlin’s body, nourishing his blood and energy.

After a moment, Shi Shanlin’s face gradually regained a hint of redness.

He opened his eyes and looked at Gu Sheng with gratitude: "Brother Sheng, I feel much better now."

Gu Sheng nodded and said solemnly, "Let’s return to Stone Village first and plan in detail."

Shi Lou and Er Gou supported Shi Shanlin back to Stone Village.

With Gu Sheng’s assistance, Shi Shanlin’s injuries recovered quickly.

Three days later, he was already able to move freely.

That day, Gu Sheng took Er Gou and Shi Lou to the meeting hall.

The meeting hall was filled with other village elders besides Elder Shi and the now-recovered Master Zhang.

"The Qingxia Sect has gone too far; we can’t sit by idly. I’ve decided we’ll destroy their Spirit Vein first, sever their foundation, and then wipe out Qingxia Sect completely."

Gu Sheng said firmly.

Er Gou and Shi Lou exchanged glances, showing strong determination in their eyes.

"We’re willing to follow Brother Sheng!"

At this time, Elder Shi spoke, "This isn’t that simple, Qingxia Sect is too formidable."

"Hmph!"

Er Gou snorted, "Elder, with Shi Lou and I supporting Brother Sheng, we can handle them! Rest assured."

"Exactly!"

Shi Lou nodded, "If Qingxia Sect isn’t eradicated, they’ll keep suppressing Stone Village. Think of Shanlin brother’s family, we can’t sit by idly."

"Xiao Sheng, do you have confidence?"

Elder Shi looked at Gu Sheng.

"Yes!"

Gu Sheng nodded.

Then Elder Shi looked at Master Zhang, the two exchanged a glance and said, "Alright, Shi Lou, Er Gou, follow Xiao Sheng’s lead, everyone else in the village cooperate fully!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

Three days later, Gu Sheng led Er Gou and Shi Lou towards the path to the Qingxia Sect’s Spirit Vein mine.

They knew this journey would be extremely dangerous.

But for the peace of Stone Village, they must go without hesitation.

Soon, Er Gou and Shi Lou, under Gu Sheng’s direction, arrived at the mine’s entrance.

At this moment, it was exuding a sinister and terrifying atmosphere.

"Brother Sheng, is this where the Qingxia Sect’s Spirit Vein mine is?"

Er Gou crouched at the mine entrance and asked.

"That’s right, as long as we destroy their Spirit Vein, Qingxia Sect will become a paper tiger, easy to defeat!"

Gu Sheng nodded, "Let’s go! We’re heading down together!"

With that, Gu Sheng was the first to jump into the mine.

Er Gou and Shi Lou followed closely.

The inside of the mine was dimly lit, only occasional phosphorescence illuminating their faces.

Once at the bottom, they cautiously moved forward.

Suddenly, a strange howl echoed from deeper in the mine.

Immediately after, a group of small statured, gray-skinned, red-eyed humanoid creatures appeared in their sight.

These creatures were unlike any Gu Sheng had seen before.

They looked somewhat undeveloped.

However, the atmosphere around them felt like that of goblin creatures.

Gu Sheng quietly warned, "These should be goblin offspring, don’t underestimate them."

"Watch me!"

Er Gou rushed forward, wielding the prepared machete, charging directly at the creatures.

"Screech!"

The goblin offspring screamed sharply and charged at Er Gou.

"Courting death!"

Er Gou shouted angrily, swinging his machete as he flew towards them.

Shi Lou was unwilling to lag behind, joining Er Gou in a spree of chopping.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Instantly, strange cries filled the air.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, dozens of goblin offspring were slaughtered clean by the two of them.

Meanwhile, the cave was filled with a somewhat nauseating bloody odor.
