Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1044 - 104: The Emergence of the Primordial Qi_2

"Child's play!"

Bai Fei sneered. After nine tries, Yan Qi's attacks missed as expected. He stood there, silent, but his eyes brimmed with disdain.

Gu Chen stood aside, having noticed something remarkable in Bai Fei's moves. Despite being younger than Yan Qi, he was still slightly superior.

The members of the Kui Niu Clan such as Ao Guang looked serious. They themselves would have found it difficult to counter Yan Qi's strike so effortlessly.

"You're far too weak. Next, who else wants to challenge me?" scoffed Bai Fei, his gaze sweeping across the audience.

After encountering his older brother Bai Yu, the members of the Kui Niu Clan were nothing in Bai Fei's eyes.

"This is excessive!"

A cultivator from Qingyun Academy spoke up, his face full of anger, unable to restrain himself any longer.

"You think you are fit to act so arrogantly?!"

Bai Fei's gaze flashed, and with a gentle flap of the white wings on his back, a flurry of feathers shot out like sharp swords towards the cultivator from Qingyun Academy who had just spoken.

Not far away, Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty frowned. With a flick of her hand, a small shield flew out, reached the Qingyun Academy cultivator, and quickly expanded in size to a grinding stone, shielding him from the strike.

"Thank you, Princess, for your help." The cultivator, having narrowly escaped death, looked gratefully towards Princess Xidie.

With dark hair and eyes, and a pair of snow-white wings that made him appear akin to a pristine angel, Bai Yu casually glanced at Princess Xidie and chuckled to his brother, "Don't be so reckless. Why bother with something as trivial as weeds? You still need to improve your magnanimity."

"Understood, Brother," Bai Fei nodded, his arrogance subdued in the presence of Bai Yu, daring not to show any slight.

"My apologies for the spectacle, Princess," said Bai Yu, turning to address Princess Xidie.

Princess Xidie slightly furrowed her brows and beckoned back the small shield with a wave of her hand.

She knew she was no match for Bai Yu. Speaking further was useless as he wouldn't listen.

After all, someone as demonic as Bai Yu would never heed others unless defeated.

Moreover, Bai Yu's true character was even more outrageous than Bai Fei's, proud and arrogant a hundred times over.

Of course, his talents and origins were indeed sufficient for him to be so.

"Who else dares to fight me?" Bai Fei looked disdainfully at the people from Qingyun Academy. "Indeed, just a bunch of weaklings. Don't worry, if you defeat me, my brother certainly won't make a move."

"Arrogant!"

Ao Guang and others such as Wang Yuan gritted their teeth, even the normally calm Chu Liufeng couldn't help but lose his temper.

Kui Xin from the Kui Niu Clan had a cold expression. Although his capabilities had significantly boosted here, facing Bai Yu, he still had no confidence.

As for Bai Fei's comment that Bai Yu wouldn't intervene, that was just nonsense; no one truly believed that.

At that moment, Chen Xuan from Yuexiao Sect, who stood beside Xu Yi, put on a grave expression and turned to Gu Chen with a bow, saying, "Please, Brother Gu, teach this rascal a lesson!"

At these words, Ao Guang and the others were stunned, unsure of what Chen Xuan was plotting.

Only Gu Chen, his brows arching and a chill spreading in his gaze, saw through Chen Xuan's malicious intent.

Beside him, Xu Yi from Cangjian Mountain Villa reacted swiftly, feigning earnestness as he quickly added, "Brother Gu, your strength is ranked among the top in the academy. Perhaps only you can suppress this madman!"

By now, Ao Guang and the others could clearly see that Chen Xuan and Xu Yi were trying to instigate a conflict between Gu Chen and the Tian Yu Clan.

As expected, upon hearing these two remarks, Bai Fei from the Tian Yu Clan immediately raised his eyebrows and looked towards Gu Chen, saying, "You're ranked among the top in Qingyun Academy? Then I must see for myself what good can come from this bunch of trash!"

Although Bai Fei's words targeted Gu Chen, they still caused Ao Guang and the others' faces to darken.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Bai Fei flapped his wings and in a flash, zoomed close to Gu Chen.

His snow-white wings, seemingly pristine, were actually razor-sharp, slashing towards Gu Chen's waist like a broadsword.

If this had been an ordinary person who had been struck by him, this move would have cleaved them in half, dead beyond any doubt.

Clang!

However, in the next instant, something that made Bai Fei frown occurred—Gu Chen did not dodge or evade; he stood his ground and took the hit, yet remained unscathed!

Bai Yu's pupils widened as he exclaimed, "So, you possess a protective spiritual treasure, no wonder you could withstand my strike!"

Not far away, Bai Yu, upon hearing this, had his previously raised eyebrows return to normal. Even he had been slightly surprised just now – it turned out it was the work of a spiritual treasure.

Gu Chen's expression remained calm, his features handsome and refined, his black hair shiny like jade and brightly glossy, hanging down to his waist, as he stood quietly there.

Toward Bai Fei's words, he had no intention of explaining at all; facing the second strike from his opponent, he casually reached out his hand and directly grabbed one of Bai Fei's feathers.

Then, under the gaze of everyone present, Gu Chen gave a gentle swing, and Bai Fei was thrown out like throwing away garbage.

"Oh?"

Seeing this scene, Bai Yu, the strongest demon of the Tian Yu Clan, couldn't help but show a hint of interest, glanced at Taoxu Road's holy maiden Chu Yue Ling and Princess Xidie, and said, "It seems that this man is the strongest in this batch from Qingyun Academy besides you, holy maiden."

"You're courting death!"

As Bai Fei was in mid-air, he struggled with all his might to stop his retreating form,

Being thrown like trash by Gu Chen had obviously enraged Bai Fei.

"Strike him down!"

He gritted his teeth, his wings flapping behind him, ready to release countless feathered swords to cleave Gu Chen into pieces.

This move had always been invincible for him— the wings of the Tian Yu Clan were not only used for flying, but were also unparalleled in combat.

However, just at that moment, from deeper within the Canglei Ancient Ruins, a strange phenomenon suddenly emerged.

A vast expanse of earthy yellow light shone, illuminating half of the sky, making even the lightning seem to fade away.

"This is... The Prime Yellow Essence has appeared!" someone exclaimed.

"There really is Prime Yellow Essence at this place!" The attention of Bai Yu from the Tian Yu Clan flashed. He had come here also for the Prime Yellow Essence.

Although this secretive information was first known by Qingyun Academy, the Tian Yu Clan had also learned of this through their own channels.

"Bai Fei, let's go!"

Bai Yu called out. To him, others from Qingyun Academy such as Ao Guang and Yan Qi were insignificant, and so was Gu Chen.

For him, at this stage, acquiring the Prime Yellow Essence and further enhancing his physical body was the most crucial matter.

"Hmph, lucky you!"

Bai Fei, upon hearing his elder brother calling him, was extremely reluctant, but in the end, after fiercely glaring at Gu Chen, he followed in his footsteps.

Gu Chen remained calm; his goal, naturally, was also the Prime Yellow Essence – the same was true for the rest of the people from Qingyun Academy.

But just as they were about to head towards the location where the Prime Yellow Essence had appeared, Qingyun Academy's specialized communication artifact suddenly activated with an unusual disturbance.

"What, the Forbidden Zone of Life, Evil King Mountain, has emerged and is likely to attack this location. The academy is instructing us to leave quickly!" Ao Guang, Yan Qi, and others' eyes changed, and their expressions turned extremely ugly.

The Prime Yellow Essence had appeared, literally before their eyes. That the academy was telling them to retreat now made Ao Guang and others extremely unwilling.

Not just Ao Guang—all the people here, upon seeing the Prime Yellow Essence, were immensely tempted; this was a divine relic for body refinement, a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. Missing this chance and trying to find the Prime Yellow Essence again would indeed be difficult, who knew how long it might take.

"Let's risk it!"

Zifu School's Wang Yuan, the Chu Family's Chu Liufeng, Kui Niu Clan's Kui Xin, including Yuexiao Sect's Chen Xuan, and Xu Yi from the Sword-Hiding Mansion, at this moment, not a single one was backing down; they all closely followed the steps of the Tian Yu Clan, rushing toward the place where the Prime Yellow Essence had emerged.

"If I give up this chance, I will regret it for the rest of my life!" Many clenched their teeth, choosing to go ahead.

Gu Chen was no exception. Thus, a group of them hastily headed towards the location of the Prime Yellow Essence, competing to be the first to get there.
