Chapter 989: Chapter 518: Bloodbath at Purple Mist Peak (Part 2) "Third Elder, if I didn’t feel it wrong, your Peak Master shouldn’t be here, right?" As soon as he spoke, Third Elder’s face turned pale. "Gu Sheng, stop talking nonsense!" "You know whether I’m talking nonsense or not. Since he’s not here, I’ll send him a big gift." Gu Sheng wickedly curled his lips, and suddenly a murderous aura emerged from his body! This time, he showed no mercy, aiming every move to take Third Elder’s life. Third Elder was beaten and retreated repeatedly, soon covered in wounds. Realizing he was not an opponent, he wanted to negotiate to save his life again. "Gu Sheng, if you kill me, the Peak Master won’t spare you! If you don’t want to trouble yourself and Stone Village, give me that dark wooden log from earlier, I just need one log to release Huang Shan!" Seeing he was still foolishly plotting for the dark wood, Gu Sheng directly took out the dark wooden log. "One log?" Seeing the dark wood, Third Elder’s eyes brightened. "Yes, as long as you hand over the dark wood, I’ll let bygones be bygones." "Alright, then this dark wood is yours." Saying this, Gu Sheng held the dark wood and approached him step by step. His murderous aura hadn’t dissipated, and Third Elder was still terrified. He retreated a few paces but forced himself to stop. Not for anything else, just for the greed in his eyes. He wanted to grab the dark wood, and this desire had reached its peak now. Seeing him staring at the dark wood without blinking, Gu Sheng suddenly revealed a charmingly sinister smile and twisted his wrist, tossing the dark wood high into the air. As Third Elder’s gaze followed upwards, the Fire Spirit Dagger in Gu Sheng’s hand ruthlessly stabbed into his heart! At that moment, blood gushed out. Third Elder’s face showed a hint of disbelief, but he still didn’t want to miss the dark wood. He propelled all his Divine Power towards the wound, hands still held high, wanting to catch the dark wood. Just as the wound had not healed, the dark wood already heavily pressed down. Receiving the dark wood with his own hands, Third Elder showed wild joy. "I got the dark wood, I finally got the dark wood, I..." Before he could finish his words, the Divine Power within the dark wood suddenly exploded, and the entire log weighed down on him like a thousand pounds! Even so, Third Elder still gripped the dark wood, with no intention of letting go. In the blink of an eye, the dark wood, like a mountain, crashed down and abruptly took his life! Watching him being crushed to death by the dark wood, Gu Sheng frowned and stepped forward. "To die for a log, it’s simply pathetic!" Saying this, Gu Sheng prepared to retrieve the dark wood, unexpectedly, he tugged hard, pulling up the shattered body of Third Elder! Until the last moment, Third Elder hadn’t let go! Even now, without breath, his hands remained stiff on the dark wood, still gripping tightly! "Simply stubborn as an ox!" Gu Sheng moved with some anger, forcefully pulling and tossing Third Elder’s corpse aside. In front of the lifeless corpse, he directly placed the dark wood into the Space Ring. Stowing away the log, he turned toward Huang Shan’s direction. At this moment, the people from Purple Mist Peak still did not know Third Elder was dead and were fighting desperately. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖 Shi Lou and others were wounded, leaning beside Huang Shan, yet still unable to rescue him. Looking at the people from Purple Mist Peak, Gu Sheng directly tossed Third Elder’s corpse over. As the corpse descended, the people from Purple Mist Peak hadn’t reacted, some even raised swords and swung. Until that face appeared before them, they realized the attacker was Third Elder’s corpse! For a moment, the people from Purple Mist Peak were mentally shattered, retreating and sheathing their swords. Taking advantage of this, Shi Lou and others moved quickly, swinging their swords repeatedly to take lives. When Shi Lou and others broke their encirclement, Gu Sheng strode over directly to Huang Shan’s side. As their gazes met, Gu Sheng took out a fire-red flower and stuffed it into his mouth. "Don’t be afraid, as long as you have a breath left, I can save you." Hearing these words, Huang Shan smiled slightly. "Brother Sheng, I knew you would come to save me." "Nonsense, if I don’t come to save you, who will? Raise your hand." Huang Shan obediently followed, and Gu Sheng wielded the Fire Spirit Dagger, forcefully breaking the iron chain! Seeing his technique was effective, Gu Sheng did the same, breaking the chain on his foot. With the burden gone, Huang Shan staggered, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Sheng was quick-eyed and handily supported him. "Quickly digest the fire-red flower, your body is too weak." Huang Shan nodded, wanting to straighten up, but Gu Sheng didn’t let go. "No need to force yourself, lean on me." At this moment, Gu Sheng raised his hand against his back, upon contact, Huang Shan felt warmth spreading. Knowing it was Gu Sheng healing him, he hurriedly closed his eyes, starting to absorb the fire-red flower’s Spiritual Power. With the fire-red flower’s Spiritual Power continuously working, Huang Shan’s open flesh began to heal, and the bruises on his face started to fade. Unconsciously, he straightened, supporting his strength on his own. But Gu Sheng’s hand remained on his back, only letting go when all of his injuries disappeared entirely. "How do you feel?" Upon hearing Gu Sheng’s question, Huang Shan nodded. "Brother Sheng, I’m fine." "It’s good that you’re fine, stay here, I’ll go help them finish off." Leaving those words, Gu Sheng headed directly toward the remaining stragglers of Purple Mist Peak. In no time, there was no one left alive within Purple Mist Peak. After Gu Sheng killed the last one, everyone rushed to Huang Shan. "Huang Shan, are you okay?" "Do you need us to help heal you?" "Are there any good medicines in Purple Mist Peak? I’ll help you find them!" Listening to everyone talking at once, Huang Shan silently reddened his eyes. "Everyone doesn’t have to worry, Brother Sheng has already healed me, I’m fine." Knowing Gu Sheng had helped before, everyone finally sighed with relief. Then Er Gou asked, "Brother Sheng, since everyone from Purple Mist Peak is dead, should we loot the place?" After thinking, Gu Sheng shook his head. "Purple Mist Peak is not from a renowned sect, their belongings might not be of quality, unworthy of us." Understanding what he meant, Er Gou nodded. "Since it’s not good stuff, let’s leave it, let’s go!" Gu Sheng responded, and everyone walked over the corpses of Purple Mist Peak as they headed out. Everyone kept an eye on Huang Shan’s condition, some even wanted to support him, but he politely refused. "Everyone really doesn’t have to worry, Brother Sheng has already healed me, I’m fine." With his repeated assurances and Gu Sheng’s confirmation, everyone finally relaxed. Leaving Purple Mist Peak’s territory and passing through a forest, Gu Sheng stopped. "It’s safe here, let’s rest for a bit." Hearing this, Shi Lou repeatedly nodded. "Yes, Brother Sheng, you really should rest a bit. You’ve been working tirelessly day and night for the rebuilding of Stone Village, and now you’ve wiped out Purple Mist Peak, your Divine Power must be exhausted by now?" Shi Lou’s words caused Huang Shan to feel guilt-ridden. "Brother Sheng, I’m sorry, I burdened you." "It’s unrelated to you. If you hadn’t painstakingly protected Stone Village, blocking all external attacks, how could we have rebuilt Stone Village so quickly? What’s happened was beyond your control, in this matter, you are the victim." Gu Sheng’s words made Huang Shan feel much better. Shi Lou realized he misspoke and quickly stepped forward to amend. After several exchanges, Huang Shan finally felt better. Everyone gathered, and the atmosphere returned to its usual lively state. Gu Sheng listened to their chatter with a smile on his lips, casually tapping the ground with his fingertips. After a few taps, he picked up a stick, seemingly drawing something on the ground, quietly imbuing it with Divine Power.
