Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu

```

He raised his hand and sent a sword strike westward, aiming at Chen Qing's Geng Metal Sword!

Boom!

The Geng Metal Sword in Chen Qing's hand trembled violently, repelled by a single sword strike. Chen Qing looked at his Geng Metal Sword, which now had a huge gap!

It was the first time his Geng Metal Sword had suffered such tremendous damage!

Looking again at the Sword Butterfly's status, the injury from this strike even caused it to lose a year of life span!

The Hidden Sword Mountain True Spirit Skill was indeed formidable!

At this moment, Chen Qing dared not be careless in the slightest.

The damage caused by one sword strike was enough to damage the foundation of the Sword Butterfly, reducing its life span in the process!

If he continued fighting with the Geng Metal Sword, it was estimated that by the end of the fight, his Sword Butterfly would be annihilated.

Chen Qing instantly retracted the Geng Metal Sword and drew the Great River Sword from his waist, wielding the Great Kui Sword to attack Zhang Jianfeng once more!

The two swords clashed, causing a thunderous roar!

This time, the Great River Sword barely held its ground, surprisingly on the losing side!

The opponent's Spirit Sword Gu was of high quality, and the True Spirit Skill was extremely powerful!

With a bit of true spirit entering the Dao, the original sword embryo was summoned, deploying the True Sword Dao Skill, which was extremely formidable!

Seeing Zhang Jianfeng attacking again, Chen Qing immediately swung his left sleeve, executing Universe in the Sleeve, hoping to absorb the original sword embryo into his sleeve.

With a swing of the sleeve, the original sword embryo's entire form paused, standing in place as if resisting something.

Chen Qing was suddenly surprised, realizing that the original sword embryo could actually resist the Universe in the Sleeve deployed by the Harmonization Snake Butterfly?

Zhang Jianfeng was even more astonished at this moment, "What evil skill?"

"Immobilization skills?"

"No, it doesn't seem like immobilization skills!"

"The pulling force is even greater!"

Chen Qing didn't care what technique his opponent suspected, immediately deploying Universe in the Sleeve again, sweeping his large sleeve towards the original sword embryo.

This time, he still didn't absorb the original sword embryo into his sleeve, but it still made the original sword embryo hesitate in place.

Seizing this chance, Chen Qing immediately drew upon the Sword Qi River, sweeping a sword strike toward Zhang Jianfeng, who was unprotected by the original sword embryo!

Zhang Jianfeng immediately summoned twelve Dao Swords to protect him, but those sword qi disappeared like mud into the sea.

It could absorb the sword qi but couldn't block Chen Qing's Great River Sword, which broke five Dao Swords in front of him with one swipe, slashing Zhang Jianfeng back once more.

Taking advantage of Zhang Jianfeng's injury and shaken mind, Chen Qing swung his sleeve again, deploying Universe in the Sleeve!

"Capture for me!"

The original sword embryo lost control for a split second, seemingly about to fly into Chen Qing's sleeve, only to awaken at the last moment and thrust a sword back at Chen Qing.

The sword pierced through Chen Qing's left hand, giving him a pain like being pricked by needles!

Chen Qing clenched his left hand, grabbed the original sword embryo, and was about to throw it out when the original sword embryo transformed into infinite sword qi that flew away, regrouping into the original sword embryo's illusory form ahead.

The severe pain of having his left hand pierced didn't overly stress Chen Qing.

The wound started healing rapidly.

Given the size of the original sword embryo, the wound it caused to Chen Qing was merely like a needle prick.

Chen Qing, for the rarest of times, took this a little more seriously. This was the first time anyone had managed to inflict such a penetrating wound since he attained the Fatian Xiangdi.

In the distance, Zhang Jianfeng stood up, covered in blood and extremely disheveled, kicking away the rubble on him.

Twenty-one years ago, he was eight years old.

On the first day of his mountain ascent, he was welcomed by the senior disciple, who treated him exceedingly well, like a real brother.

During sword training, he sat alongside the senior disciple while the State Preceptor, teaching swordsmanship, said to the senior disciple,

"Your Sword Dao, by intention into the realm of transformation, understanding the essence of the sword, can gain the true understanding of Sword Dao."

After speaking to the senior disciple, the State Preceptor then said to him,

"Your Sword Dao, unyielding and advancing resolutely, can win but cannot fail."

"If you consistently win without defeat, you'll progress rapidly!"

"If you fail, you'll be utterly defeated."

The senior disciple practiced the heart sword, while he practiced the Extremely Rigid Sword.

In his youth, he always thought the State Preceptor valued him more until he grew up and understood.

What was that about can win but cannot fail?

If he failed once, it meant complete and utter defeat.

He was an unyielding sword, and if he lost, his dao heart would be damaged, the sword intent evaporated.

This was his Dao, his Sword Dao.

He was the Protector of the senior disciple.

The senior disciple entered the Sword Dao by understanding the sword intent and the essence of Sword Dao.

And he, entering the Sword Dao with techniques, was naturally three points weaker.

My Sword Dao desires only constant victory without defeat, unafraid of life and death!

Howling sword intent erupted from Zhang Jianfeng's body, penetrating through layers of clouds.

Under this soaring sword intent, every long sword on all present vibrated for no reason.

"Sword Intent, he actually forced out the Sword Intent in the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

"With intention driving the sword, nothing is unbreakable!"

"Lord of Protection, be extremely careful!"

After saying this, the people of the Taihao Tribe all retreated at once, not daring to linger on the battlefield.

Even if this person lacked some face, the Sword Dao attainment was still shocking.

Feeling this surge of sword intent, Chen Qing immediately regarded Zhang Jianfeng seriously.

This person's Sword Dao attainment was truly stunning!

The Great River Sword in his hand seemed to be uncontrollable in the surging sword intent!

Chen Qing immediately waved his hand to retract the Great River Sword inside his body, deploying Dragon Capturing Hand towards Zhang Jianfeng.

Zhang Jianfeng soared, snatching a long sword flying towards him and slashing at Chen Qing's massive hand with a sword!

Meanwhile, the original sword embryo wasn't idle, stabbing toward Chen Qing's back. Chen Qing repeatedly swung his sleeve, deploying Universe in the Sleeve, securing the original sword embryo!

Continuously deploying Dragon Capturing Hand, transforming into monstrous hands, which clashed with Zhang Jianfeng's long sword repeatedly. Mountains and rivers shattered, clouds gathered and dispersed ceaselessly.

As the wind rose, Chen Qing waved to capture a handful of moonlight transforming into wings, instantly deploying Feather Sky Soaring Skills. His entire being left behind fleeting shadows rapidly.

The huge body showed no signs of clumsiness, the wings quivering, instantly arousing a gale that flung the Medicine Valley disciples in the Qi Refining Realm flying.

Yu Chengfeng smartly responded at this time, "Protect the Medicine Valley people!"

"Hurry, get them off the battlefield, they can't stay here!"

The Taihao Tribe immediately acted, rescuing the Medicine Valley people amidst the tempest and sword qi rippling non-stop stirred up by Chen Qing.

Chen Qing continuously deployed Feather Sky Soaring Skills, his huge body flashing non-stop between heaven and earth. His hands sometimes turned into sharp claws, sometimes wielded palm strikes, fully deploying Dragon Capturing Hand!

Such bodily divine skills, with the blessing of Fatian Xiangdi, possessed extraordinary power!

At this moment, Chen Qing had pushed his fighting strength to the peak, displaying the strongest means!

Zhang Jianfeng continuously grasped the long swords flying towards him, each clash with Chen Qing breaking a sword.

He stepped on those flying long swords as if out of nowhere, soaring into the sky and fighting Chen Qing!

In the eyes of others, the two were practically gods and demons on earth, like a Sword Saint battling Ancient Gods!

The two fought from the Medicine Valley to the mountain peaks, flattening everything around!

Chen Qing waved his hand, invoking the power of the earth, instantly lifting two mountain ranges, sending two stone dragons dozens of feet long flying toward Zhang Jianfeng!

Strumming his sword and singing, Zhang Jianfeng wielded various Sword Dao Skills with his long sword, smashing the stone dragon with a single sword, countless Xuanhuang Qi flowing everywhere.

The two then fought from the flattened mountain peaks to above the Great River, Chen Qing gestured, suspending the river, summoning the river's strength from the heights!

Like a waterfall hanging from the Nine Heavens, it crashed down!

Wearing white clothes, wielding a single sword, Zhang Jianfeng charged up into azure clouds, severing the flow and cutting the river!

Sword qi permeated every direction, sword light slicing the world in half!

The people of Medicine Valley, seeing this terrifying scene, realized the huge gap between them and such top-tier geniuses. Such martial prowess might not yield even if a few Great Perfection Foundation Establishment individuals stepped up.

With a flicker of strange light in his eyes, Chen Qing thought, "This Sword Dao is truly formidable, renowned for its fierce offense."

"No matter how I change, he breaks all with one sword!"

In his heart arose some enlightenment about Sword Dao, greatly advancing his Sword Dao attainment.

What Chen Qing realized was a single word: break!

A single sword could break all methods!

Yet, he only just grasped this notion, unsure how to execute it.

This person was indeed worthy of respect, no wonder they were so arrogant!
