Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 694 - 371 Escape

During his escape, Gu Sheng unexpectedly returned to Old Jiang’s humble eatery.

The kind-hearted old man saw his disheveled state but asked no questions. Instead, he quietly prepared a clean room and a sumptuous dinner for him.

This act of kindness deeply moved Gu Sheng. He understood that in such dire circumstances, any help was invaluable.

He couldn’t stay long. The following nightfall, under the cover of darkness, he silently left the small town to continue his escape.

Three days later, Gu Sheng finally made it to a bustling tropolis in Yan Country. Here, the city was teeming with people, its streets wide, lined with shops, and filled with endless traffic—a scene of lively prosperity. He felt that the vast sea of people might be just what he needed to hide and temporarily escape the shadows of pursuit.

After days of constant fleeing, Gu Sheng was utterly exhausted. It was only upon entering this city that he was able to exhale a long breath of relief.

When he tried to find food to quell his hunger, he realized he didn’t have a single coin on him. This elicited a bitter smile—truly, when it rains, it pours!

By now, it was noonti, and the streets were awash with the fragrant aroma of various delicacies. Yet Gu Sheng could only wander idly with an empty stomach.

At that mont, a familiar but cold voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Well, isn’t this Gu Sheng? What a pitiful state you’ve fallen into!"

Gu Sheng turned his head sharply. Standing before him was a woman dressed in luxurious attire, gazing at him with icy disdain. Her beauty was unparalleled, her deanor noble—it was none other than his ex-girlfriend, Lin Qingyu, who had now joined the revered Purple Sun Grotto Heaven to beco a cultivator.

Seeing Gu Sheng in such a miserable state, Lin Qingyu’s eyes flickered with a trace of contempt and pride.

Once, she held high hopes for Gu Sheng, but now he seed no better than a beggar. This filled her with profound disappointnt and scorn.

"Lin Qingyu..." Gu Sheng gritted his teeth, growling her na through clenched jaws. His heart brimd with humiliation and fury. "You’re here to laugh at , aren’t you?"

"Hmph, you’re mistaken," Lin Qingyu sneered coldly. "I rely wanted to see what has beco of the so-called genius you once were. It seems that after leaving , you’ve truly amounted to nothing."

Gu Sheng, enraged by her response, clenched his fists tightly, his entire body trembling with a surging aura. Yet he quickly cald himself—he knew his current strength was no match for Lin Qingyu, and losing composure before her would only deepen his humiliation.

Taking a deep breath, he retorted, "Do you really think you’re impressive now? You’re nothing more than a worthless dog of the Purple Sun Grotto Heaven!"

"You!" Lin Qingyu was incensed by his words, her face turned ashen as she glared at him. Letting out a cold snort, she spun around to leave. "Hmph! Ignorant fool! You can continue begging on the streets!" With that, she walked away without looking back, leaving Gu Sheng standing in stunned silence.

Watching Lin Qingyu’s departing figure, Gu Sheng felt a mixture of bitterness and despair. He knew without a doubt that there was no chance left between them—they were completely finished.

Just then, a powerful aura suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping Gu Sheng entirely. "Haha! Finally found you!" a domineering voice echoed from above. "Gu Sheng, where will you run this ti?"

Gu Sheng raised his head to see a group of knights in Jiang family attire soaring through the sky, their fierce gazes locked onto him with an intent to devour. Leading them was the Jiang family’s elite knight who had been pursuing him relentlessly!

The pedestrians on the streets, terrified by the sudden commotion, scattered in every direction. Gu Sheng, however, remained rooted to the spot. He knew there was no retreat left—his only chance at survival lay in fighting to the death.

"So, you’ve finally caught up..." Gu Sheng took a deep breath and spoke slowly. "In that case, let’s end this today!" With that, his aura surged violently, preparing for the life-and-death battle ahead.

The Jiang family knights in the sky drew their weapons simultaneously, poised for combat. In an instant, the entire street was shrouded in a chilling, tense atmosphere.

The battle was about to erupt!

Gu Sheng’s figure flickered instantly, charging toward the Jiang family knights.

His speed was unparalleled, akin to a streak of lightning, dazzling to behold.

Golden light sparkled from his fists, radiating an overwhelming power.

"Bang!"

Gu Sheng’s fist struck a Jiang family knight viciously, sending him flying as if struck by lightning. He crashed heavily onto the ground, unconscious.

The other knights were stunned—they hadn’t anticipated such formidable strength from Gu Sheng.

"Gale Nine Swords!"

Gu Sheng shouted, his figure flickering once more. The Mystical Sky Sword in his hand transford into nine beams of swordlight, slicing toward the remaining eight knights.

The knights couldn’t discern the trajectory of Gu Sheng’s swordsmanship, relying only on instinct to dodge the attacks.

Gu Sheng’s sword techniques were so astonishingly elusive that within monts, several knights had fallen, wounded by his strikes.

"Shadow Concealnt Skill!"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng’s figure vanished, seemingly lting into the darkness.

The remaining knights, now panic-stricken, scanned their surroundings desperately, trying to locate his traces.

To their utter shock, they realized they had lost their target entirely—Gu Sheng was nowhere to be found.

At that mont, Gu Sheng reappeared behind one of the knights and struck the back of his head.

The knight dropped to the ground unconscious without a single sound.

The remaining knights, now entirely frantic, drew their weapons as they warily surveyed their surroundings, terrified of another sudden attack from the shadows.
