Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards a mysterious man like an arrow. The long sword in his hand flashed a dazzling cold light under the sunlight, and with an overwhelming and sharp sword energy, he struck at the opponent like a lightning.

The mysterious man was not in a hurry. He looked calm and composed. He gently swung the weapon in his hand. The seemingly casual movement cleverly blocked the city lord's powerful attack. The sound of metal collision resounded all around and sparks flew.

The two sides immediately engaged in an extremely fierce battle. The sounds of shouting and the collision of weapons intertwined together like a passionate and tragic war song, resounding throughout the forest and scaring the birds in the forest to flee in all directions.

Jiang Qiong also quickly joined the battle. He brandished the soft sword, which in his hand was like a nimble poisonous snake. He was agile and kept stabbing at the mysterious man's vital parts.

The mysterious man held a black sickle in his hand. When the sickle was waved, it brought up black light as thick as ink. The light seemed to contain endless dark power. When it collided with Jiang Qiong's soft sword, it emitted bursts of dense sparks, just like fireworks blooming in the night sky.

While Jiang Qiong was fighting fiercely with the mysterious man, he also took time to observe the mysterious man's moves. He keenly discovered that the fighting style of these mysterious men was extremely strange and peculiar. Every move and every style contained a powerful and evil dark force, which made people hard to guard against and would fall into desperate situation if they were not careful.

Li Yi was concentrating on casting a spell, chanting incantations quickly and changing the spells with his hands. Fireballs flew towards the mysterious man like burning meteors, carrying rolling heat waves.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious man quickly dodged the attack of the fireball nimbly, while muttering something and casting strange magic.

In an instant, several thick black vines suddenly stretched out from the ground, like hungry pythons, and rushed towards Li Yi with bared fangs and claws.

Li Yi's face instantly became solemn, and he quickly cast a wind spell. A gust of wind suddenly rose from the ground, blowing the vines all over the place. The vines entangled and twisted with each other, making a creaking sound.

However, more vines came like a surging tide, pouring in from all directions and surrounding him in the blink of an eye, leaving no room for escape.

Other cultivators also engaged in thrilling and fierce battles with the mysterious man.

Some cultivators cast water spells, chanting ancient spells, and moving their hands quickly in front of them, forming crystal clear water curtains. The water curtains were like flowing crystals, resisting the attacks of the mysterious man. The mysterious man's weapons hit the water curtains, splashing layers of water.

Some cultivators quickly set up defensive magic circles. They chanted something and formed seals with their hands quickly. Complex runes instantly appeared on the ground, flashing with light, forming a solid defensive barrier to protect their injured companions. The companions hid in the magic circle, gasping for breath, and took the time to recover their strength.

For a moment, the whole forest was filled with flashing magical lights, colorful, and the shouts and roars of spells were intertwined. The battle entered a white-hot stage. Both sides tried their best and the battle was hard to separate.

Jiang Qiong gradually felt that he was overwhelmed during the battle. The mysterious man was much stronger than he had expected.

His strength was like sand in an hourglass, gradually slipping away. He could no longer hold on and several wounds appeared on his body. Bright red blood flowed slowly from the wounds, staining his clothes red. It was particularly shocking in the sunlight.

But he gritted his teeth, like a resolute mountain, and persisted all the time, with only one unshakable belief in his heart: he must protect the city and never let the conspiracy of this mysterious force succeed.

Just when Jiang Qiong felt a little desperate, a sudden inspiration came to his mind, and he remembered some exquisite fighting skills he had learned from the in-depth communication with the City Lord at the banquet in the City Lord's Mansion.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, put aside all distracting thoughts, and then performed a new set of swordsmanship.

This set of sword techniques combines his profound understanding of kendo with his new insights. The sword moves are more sharp and swift, like a storm, and the power is also stronger, as if it can tear apart space.

The mysterious man obviously did not expect Jiang Qiong to suddenly change his swordsmanship. He was caught off guard and was scratched on the arm by Jiang Qiong's soft sword. Black blood oozed from the wound and dripped onto the ground.

The mysterious man let out an angry roar, and a fierce and brutal light flashed in his eyes, like an enraged beast.

He increased the intensity of his attack and swung the sickle in his hand more wildly. The black light was like surging black waves, rushing towards Jiang Qiong one after another, and a pungent fishy smell filled the air.

Jiang Qiong did not retreat. He concentrated all his energy, like a steady Mount Tai, and relied on his superb swordsmanship and indomitable will to fight a desperate battle with the mysterious man. Every time he swung his sword, he was determined to fight to the death, and every time he resisted, he was tenacious.

The fighting around became more and more intense. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. The blood dyed the earth red. The ground was littered with wounded and corpses, but no one had the slightest intention of retreating. The flame of battle burned fiercely in everyone's heart.

As the battle continued, Jiang Qiong discovered that the number of mysterious people seemed to be increasing, pouring out of the woods like a tide, while his own cultivators gradually fell into a state of exhaustion, with both their physical and spiritual strength about to be exhausted.

He couldn't help but feel deeply worried. If they continued like this, they would most likely be wiped out and the city would be doomed.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly swept behind the mysterious man. There seemed to be a weak spot where the defense was relatively lax.

His heart moved, and he quickly winked at Li Yi, his eyes full of tacit understanding and expectation.

Li Yi understood what he meant and immediately concentrated all his spiritual power to cast a powerful wind spell.

He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Suddenly, a gust of wind rose from the ground. The wind became stronger and stronger, forming a powerful storm, like an angry dragon, raging and roaring in the forest, temporarily forcing back the mysterious people around him.

The mysterious men were blown to and fro by the strong wind, and the weapons in their hands were almost blown away. They screamed in surprise, with looks of fear on their faces.

Jiang Qiong took the opportunity to display his skills, and his figure was like a black lightning, rushing rapidly towards the back of the mysterious man.

The soft sword in his hand kept waving, and the sword shadow flickered, like a blooming sword flower, repelling the mysterious people in front of him one by one. The mysterious people fell to the ground one after another, groaning in pain.

Soon, Jiang Qiong came to the back of the mysterious man. He found something like an altar. The altar was made of black stones and had a strange shape. It was flashing with strange light. The light was like a flickering will-o'-the-wisp, and it seemed to have some mysterious and close connection with the power of the mysterious man. Jiang Qiong did not hesitate at all. He had a firm look in his eyes, wielded the soft sword, and slashed at the altar with an indomitable momentum.

Just as his soft sword was about to touch the altar, a mysterious man suddenly rushed out from the side like a ghost, holding a black spear in his hand. The spear was engraved with runes and exuded a gloomy aura. He used the spear to block Jiang Qiong's attack, and the sound of metal collision was deafening.

Jiang Qiong had a fierce confrontation with this mysterious man. He keenly discovered that this mysterious man was much stronger than all the mysterious men he had met before. His every move exuded the aura of a superior, and he was obviously the leader of the mysterious men.

The weapon in the hands of the mysterious leader is a black magic wand engraved with strange runes. Those runes seem to have life, slowly wriggling on the wand, emitting powerful and evil dark power.

He waved his magic wand, muttering something, and black rays of light shot towards Jiang Qiong like sharp arrows. Wherever the rays of light reached, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a harsh sound. Jiang Qiong quickly used his body skills, floating like a phantom, dodging the attack of the rays of light while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

His eyes were fixed on the mysterious leader's every move, not missing any details. In the fierce battle, Jiang Qiong gradually discovered the weakness of the mysterious leader, and a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes.

He seized the opportunity and unleashed an extremely sharp sword move. The soft sword drew a graceful and deadly arc in the air and pierced straight into the chest of the mysterious leader.

The mysterious leader's face changed instantly. He hurriedly used his magic wand to resist. With a "click", a crack appeared on the wand. The powerful impact force made his arm numb.

But he was still scratched on the shoulder by Jiang Qiong's soft sword. Black blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain. He let out a painful roar, and the sound seemed to shatter a person's soul.

Then, he quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted an ancient and evil spell. The light on the altar became brighter, like a black sun that was about to explode. A suffocatingly powerful dark aura surged out of the altar and swept towards Jiang Qiong and the others. Wherever it went, trees were uprooted and huge cracks were torn into the ground.

Jiang Qiong realized the power and danger of this force, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone be careful, this force is very dangerous!"

Everyone cast defensive spells one after another. Some cultivators cast earth spells to form a solid earth wall in front of them.

Some cultivators cast water spells to form a thick water shield;

Some cultivators cast defensive magic circles to cover themselves and their companions. However, the dark power was too strong, like a raging tsunami, and everyone's defensive spells seemed vulnerable to it and were shattered one after another.

The dark aura instantly submerged everyone. Jiang Qiong felt as if his body was being torn apart by countless dark hands. Every inch of his skin and every bone felt excruciating pain. His consciousness gradually became blurred, as if he had fallen into an endless dark abyss.

Just when he thought he was going to die here, suddenly, a golden light shot straight down from the sky like the dawn. The light was dazzling, carrying a sacred and powerful power, instantly dispelling the dark aura.

Under the illumination of the golden light, the dark aura quickly dissipated like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun, leaving only nothingness.

Everyone looked up and saw an old man in a golden robe slowly falling down. The old man's robe fluttered in the wind like golden clouds. He exuded a powerful immortal power, which was like a towering mountain and made people awe-inspiring.

His face was kind and solemn, and his eyes were full of wisdom and insight.

When the city lord saw the old man, a trace of surprise and respect flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said respectfully: "Greetings, Immortal Master!"

Everyone also saluted in unison, full of respect. The old man nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the mysterious leader like a sword, and said coldly: "You evil people, how dare you do evil here, today I will make you disappear into ashes!"

As he spoke, the old man quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted a mysterious spell. A powerful magic spell was formed instantly. The magic spell was like a bright star, emitting dazzling light and blasted towards the mysterious leader.

The mysterious leader's face turned pale as paper in an instant. He wanted to dodge, but found that his body was restrained by a powerful force and he could not move at all. His eyes were filled with fear and despair.

The magic instantly hit the leader of the mysterious people. A shrill scream pierced the sky, and the body of the leader of the mysterious people instantly turned to ashes and drifted away with the wind, as if he had never existed.

When the other mysterious people saw that their leader was dead, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, became panicked, and wanted to escape.

The old man snorted coldly and used his magic again. His hands danced quickly in the air. Golden rays of light streaked across the sky like meteors and shot towards those mysterious people.

The light hit the mysterious man, and he was instantly swallowed by the light. He screamed, and his body gradually dissipated and turned into nothingness.

The battle was finally over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with joy and relief for surviving the disaster. Their faces were full of fatigue, but there was a gleam of victory in their eyes.

The city lord walked up to the old man, his face full of gratitude, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your help, Master. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid we would all be buried here today."

The old man smiled and said, "You're welcome. Protecting the peace of the world is the responsibility of cultivators like us. The emergence of this mysterious force is probably just the beginning. You have to be more careful." The city lord nodded in agreement, his expression solemn.

Jiang Qiong walked up to the old man and said respectfully, "Master, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did this mysterious force suddenly appear here?"

The old man looked at Jiang Qiong, his eyes full of love and encouragement, and said, "This mysterious force has been secretly accumulating strength. They are trying to disrupt the balance of the world in order to gain greater benefits. This time they chose to appear near this city, I'm afraid they have some ulterior motives. You must be more vigilant and work hard to improve your strength."

After hearing this, Jiang Qiong secretly made up his mind to practice harder and contribute his strength to protecting the city. His eyes were full of determination and resolve. (End of this chapter)
