Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1124 - 149 A Turn of Heaven and Earth

Saint Hua City, as the largest city in the spiritual realm, is also a city that never sleeps. Even late into the night, the streets buzz with people coming and going, carriages and horses passing by, mixed with various yells and hawking voices.

At the same time, an assortment of fragrances waft through the air and into one's nostrils, making it hard to resist the temptation to eat.

Moreover, taverns lit up brightly with lanterns and filled with the scent of alcohol invite passersby into a state of leisure and reverie.

Gu Chen walked on the street and for a moment became distracted by his thoughts. He reminisced about Tiandu, the capital of Da Xia in the mortal realm, and the people and events from his past.

At that moment, on the somewhat crowded street, four figures gradually approached through the crowd, and when they reached Gu Chen's side, they suddenly made their move.

Hisss!

Cold light exploded like four bolts of thunder tearing through the heavens. Four spiritual treasures stabbed towards Gu Chen at the most vicious angles.

The assailants were not weak either, all four of them were early-stage experts of the Huanxu Realm!

Such strength, coupled with the spiritual treasures, made it clear that whoever issued the order was targeting Gu Chen's life, hoping to kill him with a single blow and leave his soul to wander Saint Hua City forever.

"Die!"

A low shout came as the four dagger-like spiritual treasures pierced through Gu Chen's flesh without resistance.

"It's done!"

Seeing this scene, a flash of joy swept through the eyes of the Huanxu Realm assailants.

Clang!

But in the next instant, a sound as loud as a grand bell rang out. The spiritual treasures that hit Gu Chen's body seemed to strike some divine metal, emitting an enormous noise.

Furthermore, the rebounding force from the impact caused the palms of all four Huanxu Realm attackers to split open, blood flowing wildly.

"Impossible?!"

Their pupils shrank violently. With their keen vision, they saw cracks spreading over the four dagger-like spiritual treasures, which were about to shatter!

"Is this even human?!"

Disbelieving, they wondered how the flesh of a cultivator in the God Transformation Realm could be harder than spiritual treasures?

Like eggs against rock, the spiritual treasures struck but Gu Chen was unharmed, while their treasures were about to break apart.

"Murder!"

In an instant, the commotion alerted countless passersby and vendors around, causing chaos to erupt on the street.

The patrolling soldiers nearby, hearing the shouts and seeing the disturbance, also rushed over immediately.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A series of whooshing sounds rang out as figures rushed towards the scene, including some from the Huanxu Realm and even the Unity Realm!

This demonstrated the formidable defensive capabilities of Saint Hua City, with numerous powerful figures assembling in a moment's notice.

Furthermore, it was a clear rule in Saint Hua City that fighting was not permitted within the city walls, as many ordinary people lived there.

When the four Huanxu Realm attackers saw this, their eyes hardened. They knew they no longer had time for a second strike at Gu Chen.

"Pfft!"

With decisive cruelty, recognizing the futility of further action, they chose to sever their own body's heavenly channels and even their viscera—a severely grave injury; the four of them died on the spot.

"Suicide soldiers?!"

The Commander of the Saint Hua City guards frowned upon arriving at the scene. Looking at the four bodies, he ordered, "Someone, take these four away and investigate their identities thoroughly. Let's see who has such gall to dare make a move in Saint Hua City!"

"Yes!"

Soldiers stepped forward, their faces expressionless, and carried the bodies away.

On the side, many daring civilians stood watching the scene, continuously casting their gazes towards Gu Chen.

After all, he was the cause of everything.

"Who are you? State your name." The Guard Commander's gaze turned towards Gu Chen. He was a strong practitioner in the Unity Realm with a not insignificant position in the city's defense forces.

"Gu Bai." By this time, Gu Chen had long since recuperated from his distraction, frowning slightly.

Although he had been lost in thought earlier, the moment those four people approached, he had already reacted. He collected the four about-to-break spiritual treasures at his fastest speed.

After all, withstanding spiritual treasures with his flesh and actually shattering them was truly astonishing. That's why Gu Chen had secured the evidence.

Seeing the Guard Commander requesting something to prove his identity, he took out the travel permit he had acquired upon entering the city during the day and showed it to the man.

"Do you recognize those four people?" asked the Guard Commander after returning Gu Chen's travel permit. However, his tone was no longer as severe as before.

"I do not recognize them." Gu Chen shook his head.

The Guard Commander slightly furrowed his brow. Those four were suicide soldiers, which complicated things—likely there would be no leads.

But he also understood that anyone daring enough to take action within Saint Hua City must have an extraordinary background, perhaps even a significant one!

Otherwise, they would never have dared to do so.

Just as the Guard Commander was about to let Gu Chen go, a burly man with a beard approached and whispered something to him.

Anyone getting this close to the scene must have an exceptional status and likely had some story behind them.

Gu Chen eyed the bearded man, his eyebrows furrowing instantly. He had an inkling that the assassination attempt on the street was somehow inextricably linked to this man.

"You will need to come with us now."

Initially, the Guard Commander seemed reluctant, but after the bearded man mentioned three specific words, he changed his expression and could only comply, addressing Gu Chen with these words.

"Why is this?" Gu Chen retorted. As the victim, was he to be detained? There was no such reasoning in the world!
