Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World-Chapter 213 - 128: Entered the Transformation Realm!_2

Gu Changming shouted repeatedly, helping to share Gu Dajiang’s burden while casting a glance toward Gu Jingang.

Gu Dajiang was the weakest among them; without the others’ support, he would have been killed long ago.

Gu Jingang knew Gu Sheng’s abilities. Although not as urgent as Gu Changming, he understood clearly that this man could not be allowed to interfere with Gu Sheng, whose astonishing archery skills were proving far more valuable from the shadows.

"Think you can leave? Did you ask for my permission?"

Gu Jingang suddenly exploded into action!

Buzz!

Billowing smoke-like Qi Blood power surged upward from his head, standing out sharply against the dark night. Gu Jingang finally ceased hiding his strength. His massive fists, like giant hammers, smashed toward the man called Third Brother.

"Blood Refining Realm—Great Success?!"

Lu Ming and the other attackers were shocked to their cores, unable to believe their eyes.

"Wasn’t it said that the strongest in Gu’s Manor only reached Small Success in cultivation?"

Reaching Great Success in the Blood Refining Realm was no ordinary feat. Even in all Canghe County, such masters were rare, belonging to the top echelons. Now, with Gu Jingang’s sudden eruption of power, the dense pressure of his Qi Blood surged violently, his speed escalating. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Third Brother.

Third Brother’s face was filled with terror. As he had been focusing on retreating from the battlefield, his attention had already strayed. Now, he had no way to defend against Gu Jingang’s heavyweight punches and could only make a feeble attempt to shield himself.

Bang!!

Crack!

A muffled thud followed by the crisp sound of bones breaking echoed. The result of their collision was clear: Third Brother’s body was sent flying instantly, his fist bones shattered. The strength of a Great Success cultivator in the Blood Refining Realm, combined with Gu Jingang’s innate physical might, was not something an average person could withstand.

"Brother Ming, save me!"

Seeing Gu Jingang pressing the attack, his menacing aura left Third Brother utterly terrified. His soul seemed to flee his body as he cried out in panic.

Lu Ming’s expression darkened. With deft movements, he lunged at Gu Jingang with his longsword, employing the tactic of saving someone by attacking another.

The tides turned in an instant.

After unleashing his full strength, Gu Jingang was able to suppress both Lu Ming and Third Brother. Meanwhile, Gu Changming and Gu Dajiang kept two other Blood Refining Realm martial artists occupied—these two even had to divert attention to support Lu Ming and Third Brother under the increasing pressure.

What remained were the battles among the Refining Skin Realm fighters.

But it was clear:

The ones growing desperate were the Lu family and the Black Sand Gang.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Arrows streaked out of the darkness from time to time, their sharp whistles sounding like death’s cry, sending chills down spines. Every arrow shot claimed the life of one attacker or left them injured enough to be slain by the martial artists of Gu’s Manor.

A strong Shattered Jade martial artist attempted to sneak in and locate Gu Sheng, only to be held back by Gu’s Manor’s heavy-armored fighters.

Everyone knew:

The hidden archer was the linchpin of this battle.

Gu Sheng’s lips curved upward in a faint smile.

The current situation was highly advantageous for him and Gu’s Manor. Without exposing his abilities, he could remain in the dark, silently shooting arrows. Against Stone Skin opponents, a single shot to the throat sufficed, while against Iron Skin foes, he aimed only to wound, ensuring his full prowess wasn’t overly revealed.

Meanwhile, Gu’s Manor’s fighters, though wounded, suffered no casualties.

The heavy-armored martial artists bore the brunt of the combat. When danger arose, a well-timed arrow was enough to stabilize their positions.

For the moment:

The tide of the battle was continuously flowing in favor of Gu’s Manor!

The original forty attackers were rapidly dwindling, while Gu’s Manor gained an increasingly decisive upper hand.

Lu Ming’s face sank, his heart seething with fury and disbelief.

The "surprises" he encountered from Gu’s Manor were simply too many.

Now, on top of a Blood Refining Realm—Great Success cultivator, there was also that deadly archer—this was anything but the strength of an ordinary village fort.

"Even compared to the Wang and Sun families, Gu’s Manor is only slightly weaker, isn’t it?"

"Could it be that Liu Yuanhu foresaw this and secretly sent experts here? Is this all part of his trap?"

Suddenly:

A flash of insight struck his mind.

An even more chilling thought took root in his heart. If this truly was Liu Yuanhu’s trap, wouldn’t the other ambush points also face setbacks?

"No, I can’t keep lingering here. We need to retreat!"

Lu Ming’s unease grew, and the desire to retreat took hold of him.

"You dare lose focus while fighting me?"

Gu Jingang, whose combat instincts were incredibly sharp, immediately seized on Lu Ming’s lapse of concentration. His body tensed like a tiger preparing to strike. Muscles coiled in his legs, he whipped them out like battle axes. The sheer force tore through the air with a shrill screech, startling Lu Ming.

Lu Ming swiftly raised his longsword horizontally, its blade gleaming coldly as he swung it toward Gu Jingang to intercept.

Little did he know, Gu Jingang’s true target was not him but Third Brother.

"Die!"

Gu Jingang’s eyes glinted with rage. Who wouldn’t feel angered being ambushed in the dead of night? The suppressed fury within him erupted, adding a vicious edge to his whip-like kick.

Third Brother’s expression changed dramatically.

He raised his arms to block, only to hear a sharp crack as his arm bone snapped under the force, bending into a grotesque angle. His face twisted in pain and terror. Gu Jingang’s overwhelming presence was simply too much to bear. Having gotten used to their rhythm, he was now searching for opportunities to break through.

Lu Ming hurried to assist.

Blocking blow after blow, he suddenly heard a crisp snap—his longsword broke clean in two.

Lu Ming’s expression also shifted. Staring at the towering Gu Jingang before him, he realized the tide of the battle had turned irrevocably. When another arrow shot out from the darkness and instantly claimed another fighter’s life, Lu Ming made up his mind.

Faced with the choice between punishment back home and preserving his life along with his family’s strength, he let out a sharp cry:

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" freewёbnoνel.com

The attackers, already petrified by the hidden archer, finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had long wanted to flee but dared not do so without Lu Ming’s command.
