Endless Road: Asura's Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 29 First Kill

Gu Ling sighed, took out his giant sword, and pointed it at the scar-faced man."I don't care about your plans here. I don't intend to interfere. I just want you to put the girl back. I am even willing to give you the lost money. Why don't you agree?" The scar-faced man laughed loudly and responded:"You don't understand, do you? We will kill you, take all your belongings, and continue collecting tribute from the village. Your offer is of no value to us. Kill him!"

"I don't want to kill you," Gu Ling said as he prepared to respond to their attack.

The scar-faced man laughed loudly again."You are only a practitioner in the early stages of creating fog, and I'm afraid you don't have much combat experience. You have no way to escape, only death!"

Gu Ling was shocked by the man's response."Early fog creation? My realm Dantian is in the middle fog realm. Could it be that his spiritual consciousness couldn't detect it?"

Just when Gu Ling was thinking about this problem, one of the men rushed towards him. Gu Ling suddenly came back to his senses and watched the man approaching.

"That's it? Frontal attack? No martial arts was used, just brute force. With Gu Ling's weapon training experience, he could easily see that the man was just using brute force to chop and rely on his own strength and cultivation to suppress Gu Ling.

"He must really think I'm an easy target."

When the man approached, Gu Ling sneered. Gu Ling had often dealt with weapons since he was a child. Before he started practicing, Gu Ling was known as a combat expert. Not only that, his recent journey in the Tianpi Forest has greatly improved him Combat experience and strength. The man's attack was almost an insult to Gu Ling.

The other five watched their companions attack Gu Ling, with sinister smiles on their faces

"This should be over soon. Do you want to bet on how long this boy can last?"one of them asked

"Of course, I bet he can't hold five steps," replied another

"Five steps? You overestimated him, I said he couldn't even hold three steps," the first person said.

Oh!

They were about to continue discussing the bet when they suddenly stopped. A headless corpse suddenly fell in front of Gu Ling on the ground

"What? What just happened?"One of the men shouted.

The scar-faced man narrowed his eyes and watched Gu Ling kill one of his men.

"It seems I was wrong. You are much more capable than I thought," the scar-faced man said."You guys come together, don't think he is just a young boy. He is strong."

The four people recovered from the shock and hurriedly surrounded Gu Ling.

While being surrounded, Gu Ling looked at the blade of his giant sword. Blood flowed along the blade, which was evidence of what he had just done. He was at a loss. stared at it for a while

"That was my first time killing someone. My first time killing someone. Why don't I feel... fear? I should be scared, shocked, or disgusted. But I felt nothing...in fact, I hate to admit it, but I felt so excited. What's wrong with me?

Gu Ling thought that his first human killing would trigger some negative emotions, but in fact, he only felt indifference. A few seconds later, after he completed the killing, an indescribable excitement surged through his body.

Just as he was immersed in his emotions, he looked up and saw four people approaching him quickly. Realizing that he was surrounded, Gu Ling made a quick decision and concentrated his energy on his feet.

Five Steps of Instant Shadow:

Gu Ling uses the first step of the five-step movement to quickly create a gap in the circle of approaching people.

"Woo......"

The man who was hit by him shouted in horror, and then his voice suddenly stopped, and his head hung down weakly and fell to the ground.

"Be careful, he knows a profound attack technique," the scar-faced man reminded. He originally thought that the four of them were enough to subdue Gu Ling. He never expected that Gu Ling could master such a profound movement technique, even himself and his None of his men had the qualifications.

The other three were experienced veterans. Although they witnessed the tragic death of their comrades, they quickly adjusted their direction and continued to pursue Gu Ling.

Peng!

Gu Ling quickly raised the sword in his hand to block the fierce attacks from the people around him. At the same time, he quickly hit the opponent's ribs with his other hand

"Ga!"

The man was knocked out. Several ribs were broken, and one of them pierced the heart, causing him to die instantly.

Gu Ling used the first step of the five-step movement again and sprinted forward quickly. Then, a sword came from His original position passed by.

Gu Ling rushed straight towards the person farthest from him. The person had no time to change direction and quickly raised his sword to defend.

Bang!

The two swords collided, deafening. The man was pushed back dozens of meters and rolled continuously.. Gu Ling followed closely, taking advantage of the victory. When the opponent just stood up, the cold sword tip had penetrated into his body. The man's eyes instantly became empty.

Gu Ling turned to look at the last person. The person opened his eyes wide. , then turned around and ran away.

Car!

A sword light flashed, the man was split in half and fell to the ground.

Gu Ling narrowed his eyes

"Why kill your own people?"Gu Ling asked

"He's useless. He can't even deal with children and will only run away when in danger. What's the use of keeping him?"The scar-faced man replied.

Gu Ling stared at the other person without speaking.

After a while, the scar-faced man spoke:

"Based on your movements just now, I guess you are indeed from the ancient clan. Only people from such a big clan have the opportunity to learn such advanced body skills. But I'm confused, since you have a strong guard to protect you, why do you want to act alone? Aren't you afraid of unexpected events?"

Gu Ling knew in his heart that this man was trying to get information from him. If he revealed that he was from the Gu clan, this man would probably go on a killing spree and massacre the entire town to cover up the fact that he killed Gu Ling. The scar-faced man was deeply You know, even if Gu Ling is really a member of the Gu clan, it is too late to apologize at this moment. The choice he faces is: either kill Gu Ling and the entire town, or his own life is in danger.

Gu Ling stared at the man coldly, no Come on. He has no intention of participating in this dangerous game.

"It doesn't matter, after I kill you, I will take care of the other things myself!"The scar-faced man shouted sternly, and then quickly rushed towards Gu Ling, the blade shimmering as he swung it.

Gu Ling quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the man's attack.

Boom!

The ground suddenly rose, A small crater formed at the point of impact

"so amazing! Gu Ling thought to himself."He is much more powerful than his subordinates." His cultivation has obviously reached the middle stage of fog creation, and the swordsmanship he uses is also quite superb."

Facing a more powerful enemy, Gu Ling did not feel afraid. In fact, he felt his body gradually heating up, as if he was full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.

"I still don't understand why fighting excites me so much, but that doesn't matter now."

Gu Ling's sword collided violently with his opponent's sword, causing sparks to fly and knocking both of them back several steps.

"Your skills are indeed impressive, but if you only have this ability, then I'm afraid this is your end," the scar-faced man said as he rushed towards Gu Ling. Five steps of instantaneous shadow: the first step!

Gu Ling instantly approached the enemy, and immediately Followed by his sword.

Boom!

Gu Ling and the enemy were knocked back again

"Like I said, if that's all you have, then this is where you'll be buried……"The scarred man raised his sword high and prepared to attack.

His sword burst into dazzling light before stabbing Gu Ling.

Bang!

Gu Ling hurriedly blocked the sword light, but was still knocked back several steps before he could barely stand still.

"Try this again!"The man shouted loudly and attacked Gu Ling again.

Gu Ling blocked the attack again, but the continuous impact made him retreat continuously. After rolling a few times, Gu Ling quickly stood up and stared at the enemy in front of him.. He felt his blood boiling from the attack just now. His arms trembled slightly.

"He is stronger than I thought. He is worthy of being a master in the middle fog realm."

Although the enemy was a powerful master of the Middle Mist realm, Gu Ling did not feel scared. He had reached the Middle Mist creation stage in physical training. Not only that, his superb movements and swordsmanship gave him more chances of winning.

Gu Ling Ling once again used the first step of the Five Steps of Instant Shadow to instantly appear in front of his opponent.

"I told you, I've seen through your trick!"The scar-faced man exclaimed, and then his eyes widened quickly, showing a shocked look.

Landslide Sword!

Gu Ling shouted and struck at his opponent angrily.

"Ga!"

The scar-faced man screamed in pain because he was knocked away by Gu Ling's attack. He never expected that Gu Ling would attack with such a powerful move. Due to his lack of reaction, his hasty defense was incompetent in this contest. He suffered a big loss.

After rolling a few times, the scar-faced man quickly jumped up and looked up at Gu Ling.

Boom!

The swords collided violently again. Originally, Gu Ling planned to use this opportunity to give the opponent a fatal blow, but his opponent The recovery speed was beyond his expectation. After successfully blocking the attack, the scar-faced man quickly counterattacked

"Warrior's splitting technique!"

He launched his most powerful attack. Gu Ling hurriedly raised the sword in his hand and tried his best to block the attack. The aftermath of the attack knocked Gu Ling back dozens of meters, and finally he stopped. At this moment, Gu Ling Ling and the scar-faced man looked at each other.

"You are much stronger than you appear. How could you be just a practitioner in the early stages of creating fog?" asked the scar-faced man.

Gu Ling did not respond to this question, but said:"You are not hopeless. But I think it's time to end this fight, don't you?"

The scar-faced man was shocked by Gu Ling's response, and then laughed.

"you're right. I did wince a little during this fight, but I couldn't go on any longer. You are the first person in a long time to see through my behavior. Get ready!"The scar-faced man shouted, quickly rushing towards Gu Ling

"Idiot," Gu Ling muttered as he prepared. Just when the man was about to approach him, Gu Ling used the first step of the five-step movement to quickly move aside.

"Idiot, I told you a long time ago that I have seen through your tricks! Divine martial arts·One sword!"The man struck a sword at Gu Ling, which was several times more powerful than the previous attack.

Bang!

With the sword energy, the ground shook violently.

"What?!"The scar-faced man exclaimed. He was sure that his attack hit Gu Ling. His timing was perfect. When Gu Ling completed the movement, he launched the attack accurately. Gu Ling has used the first step many times, this The man noticed that every time Gu Ling's steps ended, he would pause briefly. He thought Gu Ling would stop in front of him again. However, when he launched the attack, there was no one in front of him.

Mountain-crushing sword!

Gu Ling shouted With a sound, a sword struck the man on the back.

"puff!"

The man spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was violently knocked away. He flew dozens of meters away and fell heavily to the ground. Due to the remaining strength, he rolled continuously.

Gu Ling stared at the man on the ground, breathing heavily. The second step of the five-step movement, plus a few moves of the mountain-crushing sword, had already consumed a lot of his energy. He took a deep breath and walked slowly to the man's side, dragging the tip of the sword on the ground. After a while, He came to the man.

He stared at the man for a moment."Like I said, you're an idiot. Who will tell their opponents that they are about to unleash a stronger attack? Gu Ling questioned the dying man. When the man tried to speak, blood poured from his mouth, but he could not make a sound.

Gu Ling closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again. His giant sword pierced the man's heart. , a fatal blow. The life quickly disappeared from the man's face, and he was obviously shocked.

Gu Ling pulled out his sword and wiped off the blood on the blade

"Thanks for letting me know you were going to use your ultimate attack. It's really not difficult to know when to use the second step of my martial arts," Gu Ling replied. His enemies obviously took pleasure in bullying the weak. Only such people would lack combat experience and easily expose their own attack methods. The man finally realized He realized his mistake, but it was too late. When he fell into darkness and disappeared from this world forever, his heart was filled with regret.

Gu Ling stared at the corpses for a while, then put away his sword. He checked all the corpses, It was found that only the leader was wearing a storage ring. Gu Ling took his mind back from the battle, but was disappointed with what was in the ring.

Gu Ling picked up the ring and then returned to the villagers. The villagers were stunned by the battle just now. Trembling with fear. Just when Gu Ling was about to speak, the trembling man before shouted with all his strength:"How dare you!"

"sorry?" Gu Ling responded.

In his opinion, he saved the village from a group of vicious people. He even saved the kidnapped girl. Although he did not expect to be praised, he was blamed for it. What he could not have predicted.

Another villager then spoke:"Who will protect us now from the wild beasts? How do we survive?"

Soon after, the villagers began to insult Gu Ling in various ways. Faced with their reactions, Gu Ling was shocked. Although this was not his original intention, he did rescue the villagers from the clutches of those despicable people. Come out. Although their safety is temporarily threatened, isn't this better than living under the rule of a vicious ruler?

Gu Ling stared coldly at the villagers who were still cursing him. He retorted loudly:"If you If you are willing to live in an environment where wild beasts are rampant, that is your own choice. Only foolish people would choose to live in a place where they cannot survive. Don't blame me for your incompetence."

Gu Ling's heart was full of anger. He originally thought he would be treated as a hero, but he never expected to be treated as an enemy. Before deciding on the next action, he decided to calm down his emotions first

"These hypocrites are not worth my time. It's time for me to leave."

Gu Ling turned around and walked along the main road leading to the entrance of the village. But he suddenly stopped and then turned around. Seeing Gu Ling turn around, the villagers thought he would attack and fled in all directions.

Gu Ling walked up to the corpses, ignoring the villagers who were still running away. He stared at one of the corpses for a long time, and then made a small wound between the corpse's forehead. According to the principles of Xian Asura's physical skills, He guided the blood essence to his spherical Dantian.

At this moment, Gu Ling showed a shocked expression on his face.
