两对夫妻别墅互换当面做

At that moment, the last Vajra Stage warrior fused with a demon spirit set his sights on Gu Chen, launching a joint attack on him with two others.

"I\'m coming to help you!" Xu Qing saw this and charged over with his sword.

"Me too!" Another rank one Metropolitan Procurator, seeing Gu Chen\'s ferocious fighting, also charged over.

Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly met the attack of the demon sect warrior enveloped in dark aura. After completely unleashing the power of the demon spirit, his face turned fierce, his pupils pitch-black, and his fingers as sharp as knives, stretching out his palm to seize Gu Chen\'s neck.

Clang!

A golden bell appeared on Gu Chen\'s body, the strong repulsive force sending the demon sect warrior stumbling several steps backwards.

Immediately after, a sound of dragon\'s roar and tiger\'s howl echoed, and the body of the man instantly stiffened as the phantom images of a dragon and a tiger appeared coiled behind Gu Chen.

Witnessing this scene, Xu Qing and the other rank one Metropolitan Procurators were greatly surprised, exclaiming, "The true meaning of martial arts?!"

The dragon and tiger phantoms that had just appeared behind Gu Chen were precisely the true meaning of martial arts mentioned by Xu Qing and the others.

To comprehend the true meaning of martial arts requires extremely high perceptiveness from a warrior, as only by perfecting a high-grade martial art is there a chance to condense the true meaning.

Know that perfecting a high-grade martial art is not an easy feat.

Not everyone is as special as Gu Chen. For many warriors, they focus on improving their cultivation, and regarding martial arts, it\'s best to perfect them, but if not, there\'s nothing that can be done.

Because, for most warriors, just achieving minor or major success in martial arts is already incredibly difficult. To attain perfection in martial art is not something achievable by mere hard training; instead, it requires strong insight, as it involves comprehending the mood and spirit of the art.

Only by understanding the mood and spirit contained within high-grade martial arts can one perfect them.

However, the concept of mood and spirit is too esoteric, ineffable in words and actions; it can only be comprehended by the individual, with no assistance from others possible.

Even Xu Qing and those who had reached the Vajra Stage as rank one Metropolitan Procurators had not perfected a single high-grade martial art, at most achieving major success.

It can be said that the barrier of perfection has stumped many people. Even for the prodigious Vajra Stage warriors, it is very difficult to perfect each high-grade martial art and give birth to the true meaning of martial arts.

Once the true meaning of martial arts is condensed, the power of that high-grade martial art will greatly increase, vastly different from before it was perfected.

The true meaning of martial arts considerably enhances a warrior\'s combat strength, and it is also related to the cultivation after reaching the Innate Stage.

The more true meanings of martial arts one comprehends, the more advantageous it is for cultivation after the Innate Stage.

It is said that the true meanings of martial arts have various wondrous aspects, but those are not something warriors below the great grandmaster level can fathom.

Xu Qing and the others were not clear about the specifics of the true meaning of martial arts. They knew very little, having only heard some veteran commanders mention it involves "divinity," but the details were not explained because, at their current stage and vision, it would be pointless. They simply wouldn\'t understand, and it would only lead to unnecessary trouble.

At this stage, all they needed to do was refine their physical bodies. The cultivation of "divinity" was something to consider after reaching the Innate Stage, a concern for martial arts grandmasters.

But Gu Chen was unaware of these facts. After all, the true meaning of martial arts is a vast field, and even the Vajra Stage rank one Metropolitan Procurators need not delve deeply into it, not to mention a rank two Metropolitan Procurator of the Outer Qi Stage. Therefore, Gu Chen had never seen related materials, nor had anyone told him about it.

He thought it was not such a difficult task and thus didn\'t hide it.

Even Huang Xiu gave Gu Chen a second glance, for even as a Gang Qi Stage warrior, he had not managed to comprehend a single true meaning of martial arts. He would not have expected a junior of only the Outer Qi Stage to have perfected a high-grade martial art and condensed the true meaning of martial arts, surpassing him by a great margin.

"A martial arts genius!" Xu Qing and the others exchanged glances, their hearts secretly astounded. At the same time, they also understood why Chen Yu held Gu Chen in such high regard.

On the other side, as the dragon and tiger phantoms appeared behind Gu Chen, with the roar and howl resounding in everyone\'s ears, the demon sect\'s Vajra Stage warrior tensed up. In that instant, Gu Chen pressed his thumb against the void, a vigorous and powerful sword qi shooting forth from his fingertip.

Splat!

Blood splattered as a blood hole appeared at the brow of the demon sect\'s Vajra Stage warrior. The sword qi directly turned his brain into mush, killing him thoroughly.

"Awooo!"

The ghostly-grade demon spirit inside him tried to escape, but Gu Chen met it head-on with a heavy and forceful Great Vajra Fist, reducing the demon spirit to ashes.

With two soul crystals in hand, Gu Chen immediately absorbed them, and his panel was rewarded with dozens of merit point values.

At that time, Gu Chen joined Xu Qing and others in their battle. With Huang Xiu also by their side, they swiftly wiped out everyone from the Red Flame Demon Sect.

The once scenic mountain peak was now scattered with rolling heads and blood flooding the ground, the smell of blood pungent to the nostrils.

This battle was extremely fierce; the Jing Tian Department also suffered numerous casualties, and both Song Yu and Wang Yan were injured, although fortunately, not too severely.

Before leaving, Chen Yu had said that after dealing with the matters of the Kunyuan Sect, they should split into two groups. Under Xu Qing\'s leadership, Gu Chen, Song Yu, and Wang Yan were to form a temporary team to eliminate the wandering demon spirits in Xu\'an County.

The remaining personnel, led by Huang Xiu, were to return immediately to the county city for support.

Huang Xiu was also aware of the severity of the situation; the county city of Xu\'an County absolutely could not fall. Therefore, despite his injuries, he was the first to take people and leave.

"How are you two holding up? Can you still move?" Xu Qing looked towards Song Yu and Wang Yan.

Both gritted their teeth and responded, "We\'re fine, just give the orders, Mr. Xu."

Gu Chen furrowed his brows slightly but knew the urgency of the situation. The Red Flame Demon Sect was very well-prepared this time, not only did they join forces with the Holy Shadows Sect to attack the city, but the demons that suddenly appeared in Xu\'an County were also likely connected to them.

Even the Kunyuan Sect mighthave been deliberately exposed by them to set up an ambush to deal with the Jing Tian Department.

Soon after, having ingested a few medicinal pills and applied some healing salve to their wounds, the group pressed on without further delay.

According to the intelligence provided by Chen Yu, there were five demons that had appeared within Xu\'an County. However, their strength wasn\'t great. With Xu Qing and Gu Chen present, they could be easily killed.

Subsequently, Gu Chen and his companions hurriedly spent three days to clear Xu\'an County of these suddenly emerged demons.

Yet, over the next five days, a great chaos unfolded within the county town.

After the incident with the Kunyuan Sect had settled, Chen Yu returned to the county town on the third day. The two newly assigned commanders from the Jing Tian Department had already arrived in town as well. It was their presence that reassured Chen Yu enough to leave with peace of mind.

Chen Yu initially thought that the alliance of the Red Flame Demon Sect and the Holy Shadows Sect was already besieging the city, but instead, everything was calm with nothing happening.

This inevitably led Chen Yu to suspect that Hu Lie might be deceiving him just to save his own life.

It wasn\'t until the fifth day, as Chen Yu was sitting in the county\'s prefectural office, that a soldier from the city guard rushed to report.

"Sir, enemies have been spotted fifty li from the city!" the reporting soldier knelt on one knee and said with a fist to his chest.

Chen Yu shot up from his seat upon hearing this. Fortunately, he had not let down his guard during this time and hadn\'t left the county. Otherwise, the county might truly have fallen that day.

Before he could reply, the ground of the county town suddenly shook, and a chilling voice echoed aloud.

"Chen Yu, come out and meet your death!"

Such a powerful cultivation could only belong to a Gang Qi Stage martial artist, without a doubt!

At this moment, a servant rushed in reporting anxiously, "Sir, it\'s terrible. Nearly a hundred martial artists from the demon sect suddenly launched an attack from inside the town. Outside is already in chaos."

Chen Yu\'s gaze turned sharp upon hearing this, and at that moment, the other two commanders also appeared, their expressions grave as they declared, "The demon sect is attacking the town!"

"How many are there?" Chen Yu asked with a frown.

Commander Cui Yu spoke rapidly, "There are over a hundred martial artists in the city and the number is still increasing. Most of them are at the Gangqi Stage. Outside, the Red Flame Demon Sect has joined forces with the Holy Shadows Sect, not inconsiderable in number, and they are advancing towards the county town."

The other commander, Deng Zi An, said in a deep voice, "That\'s not the most critical part. The most important thing is that the demon sect has dispatched six Gang Qi Stage warriors who are currently shouting outside the city gates."

Originally, the Red Flame Demon Sect was able to slaughter five cities in Da Xia for two reasons. One was because it was entirely unexpected, catching Da Xia off guard.

The second reason was that the forces deployed were Gang Qi and Vajra Stage warriors, who simply overpowered their opposition. Moreover, it was said that there were also Specter and Fiend class demons assisting from the side.

Next, the three gave commands, instructing the people from the Jing Tian Department to join forces with the city defense army to suppress the riots within the city. Then, they went to the top of the city walls and confronted the scene outside the city.

In the forefront were six Gang Qi Stage warriors, followed by over a hundred martial artists from the Red Flame Demon Sect and over a hundred from the Holy Shadows Sect. Additionally, there were hundreds of dried corpses, shrouded in black mist with skin gleaming a metallic sheen.

Each of the corpses had been specially refined by the Holy Shadows Sect, making them as tough as iron and capable of being harmed only by precious weapons.

However, it was impossible for all the city defending soldiers to possess precious weapons.

The reason they could muster such a number of undead armies was due to the power of the demons, who manipulated these corpses. Without the demons, even Gang Qi Stage warriors from the Holy Shadows Sect couldn\'t spare the concentration to control so many corpses at once.

The demons, on the other hand, were different. Their methods were special and bizarre, and directing their power to control the mindless corpses was effortless for them.

The power of the demons combined with the corpse refining techniques of the Holy Shadows Sect could be described as adding wings to a tiger.

Had it not been for this, they wouldn\'t have dared to attack the county town, no matter how numerous they were, as they would not be sufficient against the army.

At this moment, the previously speaking Gang Qi Stage warrior from the demon sect coldly declared, "Surrender and open the gates, and you may be spared. Otherwise, today, Xu\'an County town will be reduced to ashes, and tens of thousands of its citizens will die. Simultaneously, the entire Xu\'an County will fall."

Cui Yu let out a cold laugh, "What alarmist talk."

As a commander of the Jing Tian Department, who had experienced many battles in his life, he was not the kind to lose nerve before the fight.

"The city guards number well over ten thousand. You are welcome to try!" Deng Zi An added coldly.

The Gang Qi Stage warrior spoke ominously, "Have you considered carefully? Our Holy Shadows Sect can refine and control corpses; as long as there are bodies, we will have an endless army. Do you truly believe you can withstand us?"

"Furthermore, we have six Gang Qi Stage warriors. As soon as we enter the city, it will be reduced to ashes in a flash."

The destructive power of a Gang Qi Stage warrior was undeniably formidable. Once inside the city and striking recklessly, the civilian casualties would be catastrophic.

Chen Yu and others had not anticipated that the members of the demon sect would be so audacious as to attack a city with the force of a single sect.

"Why waste words? Let\'s fight!" Chen Yu said icily.
