I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 120: Kill Fang Baiyu and then stop collecting the dead energy!
A secluded tree-lined path with shadows of trees on both sides.

A sturdy green-maned horse was shot through the head, and it overturned with the carriage and hit the ground, raising a cloud of dust. The horse also dragged a large bloodstain on the ground.

However, this is just the beginning——

call out!
The second arrow pierced through the night, blasting through the wooden frames on both sides of the carriage.

shhhhhh!
Arrows were shot out one after another.

The direction we are heading to... is all carriages!
In just a few dozen breaths, forty or fifty sharp arrows hit the carriage, almost turning it into a hornet's nest.

As Xu Bin's quiver was empty and he could no longer take out arrows, he stopped, drew his broadsword, and stared vigilantly in the direction of the carriage.

Neither Xu Bin nor Wang Liuhe, even after seeing with their own eyes that the carriage had been shot into a hornet's nest, rushed out rashly, but instead carefully observed the situation first.

It was obvious that Xie An had put too much pressure on them during the examination. Furthermore, when Manager Wang from the pharmacy reported that Xie An had begun receiving Tiger Bone Essence Soup, they concluded that Xie An's strength had definitely reached the Great Perfection of the Flesh Realm.

You can never go too far wrong.

However, the two men observed for a long time and did not see any movement from the overturned carriage.

Young Xu Bin breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Wang, Xie An and that girl should be dead. Otherwise, they would definitely crawl out to survive."

Wang Liuhe agreed with Xu Bin's opinion, "That's right. There's no moon tonight, so the lighting is bad. No matter how strong Xie An is, he can't avoid Brother Xu's heavy bow. It's likely he's dead."

Seeing that Wang Liuhe agreed with his opinion, Xu Bin felt more confident. "Then let's go out and collect the body. If we take the body across the street and present it to Master Fang, it will be a great achievement."

Seeing Xu Bin speak so confidently, Wang Liuhe felt that Xu Bin was very confident in his own archery skills. The uneasiness in his heart was also relieved a little, and his expression was much more relaxed. "Brother Xu is right. After Xie An is dealt with, the leader of the Blood Ridge Incense will have to be replaced, and it is possible that it will fall on Brother Xu. When Brother Xu becomes the leader of the Blood Ridge Incense, please don't forget your brotherhood."

Xu Bin was shocked, and then weighed his and Wang Liuhe's status in Fang Baiyu's heart.

In the end, Xu Bin felt that he was the first to surrender, and his status should be higher than Wang Liuhe, so the probability of him succeeding the Master of Xuelingxiang was very high.

Thinking of this, Xu Bin smiled broadly, "Don't worry, brother Wang. If I ever become the incense master of Blood Ridge, I will never forget the friendship we made today."

"Hahaha. With Brother Xu's words, I am satisfied. Let's go and collect the bodies." In order to show off, Wang Liuhe took the initiative to walk out of the stone, holding a broadsword, and took the lead in approaching the carriage.

Xu Bin followed closely behind, perhaps because the future they shared was too beautiful and exciting, they relaxed their guard and believed that everyone in the carriage was dead.

When they were three meters away from the carriage, the two men became more alert again. Wang Liuhe was about to kick the coachman. After all, the coachman had been shot through by an arrow and should be dead.

When he kicked the groom, he found that he was very stiff.

The feel of the foot is very unusual.

"Ok?"

Wang Liuhe was keenly aware of something, and immediately tightened the hilt of the knife and lowered his head to look at the groom.

Xu Bin was stunned for a moment, "Brother Wang, what's wrong?"

"There's something wrong with this corpse. It's hard and there's a smell of rotten meat..." Wang Liuhe flipped open the groom's robe, turned on the tinder, blew out a flame to illuminate, and was shocked to see that the groom's body was covered with corpse spots. A strong stench was detected when he smelled it up close.

It was obvious that the groom had been dead for many days.

Bang!
The two men immediately realized something was wrong and suddenly raised their swords. Xu Bin looked around vigilantly, "Something's wrong, Brother Wang, quickly check the carriage."

"it is good."

Wang Liuhe also knew that there was no way to retreat, so he immediately rushed forward with a knife and chopped the wooden frame of the carriage with one stroke. As wood chips flew, the situation inside the carriage was revealed.

Empty!

hiss!
Wang Liuhe stared with his eyes wide open for a long time before he suddenly realized what was happening. Then he felt a piercing chill sweep through his body. "Oh no, we've fallen into a trap."

Xu Bin also felt uneasy, his throat choking with sobs, "Hurry up and signal the deputy hall master."

Wang Liuhe immediately raised the fire starter in his hand and waved it three times towards the distant woods.

At this moment, a figure rushed out from the woods across the road. "Why is it so difficult to do things? Are you dead?"

The one who came was Wang Ziwen.

Obviously, he was more cautious than Xu Bin and Wang Liuhe, hiding in the background until Wang Liuhe gave the signal before coming out. They had previously agreed to ambush on either side of the road, waving fire sticks as a signal if anything happened.

Wang Liuhe narrated what happened with a look of shock on his face.

Even the old fox Wang Ziwen couldn't help but gasp after hearing the whole story, "Empty carriage, dead coachman..."

Then, the experienced Wang Ziwen turned to look at the corner ahead. "At the corner, they got out of the carriage, tied the body outside the carriage, and whipped the horses towards us. We... have been exposed."

They say an old horse knows the way.

Well-trained horses can find their way home dozens of miles on their own, and powerful horses can even cross thousands of miles on their own. Even ordinary horses can walk a distance on their own without any problem.

Xu Bin was horrified and immediately stated, "Deputy Sect Leader Wang, I absolutely did not leak any information!"

Wang Liuhe hurriedly bowed in agreement and swore to the sky, fearing that Wang Ziwen would doubt him.

Wang Ziwen weighed the pros and cons and felt that since these two had already taken action, there was no way out and it was unlikely that the news would leak out. So he said, "Okay, let's go back and talk about it. He got away this time, so he's lucky."

Wang Liuhe and Xu Bin then breathed a sigh of relief, sheathed their swords, and left with Wang Ziwen.

Just after the three people left, two people suddenly walked out from behind a big tree in the distance.

It’s really Xie An and Yuhe.

"Go, follow."

Xie An spoke softly and followed the three people carefully.

Now Xie An's strength has reached the level of the five internal organs. Not only does he have a body of iron and steel, but his five internal organs are as strong as a piece of iron plate. He can take a deep breath and walk lightly without making any sound.

Before I knew it, I was catching up with the three of them, and it couldn't be easier.

The reason why he didn't choose to take action here was simply because he didn't see Fang Baiyu come out. If this person was hiding in the distance and saw him kill Xu Bin and the others, Fang Baiyu would probably become a frightened bird and run away.

It will be difficult to find him again.

Xie An did not pursue speed in doing things, but he paid attention to regularity, and preferred to keep things neat and tidy.

There's no need to rush this.

Xie An had sensed the danger since Chen Qing had come to inform him. He had even sneaked back to the hall and seen Xu Bin and Wang Liuhe hurriedly changing into their night clothes...

At that time, Xie An felt that Fang Baiyu might attack him tonight.

After all, Xie An had rarely left the black market in the past year. He even asked Yu He to do the work for him when he came to the hall to collect the medicinal ingredients.

This time when he went out, on the way back to the black market...it was naturally a perfect opportunity for Fang Baiyu to ambush.

Xie An could think of it.

Since the other party ambushed Xie An, why couldn't Xie An take advantage of the situation?
To this end, Xie An went to the carriage house in Shuideng Town, gave the shopkeeper some silver, bought the body of a dead refugee, smeared it with spices to cover up the stench, and then tied it outside the carriage.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the corner, Xie An, who had extraordinary five senses, noticed that someone was ambushing him, so he pulled Yuhe out of the carriage and lay in ambush, letting the carriage move forward while hiding in the dark and observing the situation.

Sure enough, Xu Bin and Wang Liuhe were seen fighting...even Wang Ziwen showed up.

Unfortunately, Fang Baiyu didn't show up...

This old fox is really cautious.

The night was deep, and Xie An followed the path along the forest. After a while, he returned to Shuideng Town and saw Xu Bin and the other two entering the hall.

Xie An and Yuhe had to stop at the street corner opposite the house.

"Master, they have entered the hall, let's..."

"If I'm not mistaken, Fang Baiyu is inside. They went to report to Fang Baiyu."

Xie An weighed the pros and cons for a moment before finally making a decision, "Go in and send them off in good order."

When he entered the Flesh Realm, Xie An no longer took Fang Baiyu seriously. And now that he has entered the Five Organs Realm...

Xie An just wants to develop peacefully.

But Fang Baiyu dared to take the initiative to kill.

Then... this boy cannot be kept.

As long as he knew that he had intended to kill him, even if he was killed in the hall, he could still have an explanation to the Tiger and Wolf Sect. Moreover, the hall was quiet at the moment and no one noticed him.

……

Hall, central courtyard.

living room.

Fang Baiyu sat high in the chief seat, drinking tea while listening to reports from his subordinates.

In fact, when the incident happened, he had already been lying in ambush farther away, but he was being cautious and did not show up.

After the report, Xu Bin and Wang Liuhe bent over with cold sweat on their foreheads, fearing that they would cause Fang Baiyu's dissatisfaction.

"How come the news leaked out of nowhere?"

Fang Baiyu pondered deeply: If this fails, he will probably be like a frightened bird, and it will be difficult to find such an opportunity again.

It seems that we need to let Yutong Envoy go directly to the Blood Ridge black market to kill this person.

Thinking of this, Fang Baiyu felt much more at ease. He waved his hand and said, "Xie An is lucky this time. You all can go down."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it was particularly harsh in the quiet courtyard.

"Who's coming at this hour of night?" Wang Liuhe muttered, "I'll go open the door."

Wang Liuhe thought that he was a latecomer after all, and he had spent a lot of effort to please Fang Baiyu. Now he needed to lower his posture and continue to please him.

So Wang Liuhe strode to open the door.

Squeak.

Wang Liuhe opened the door with some displeasure and started to speak, "Who are you? You're disturbing the hall master so late at night? Don't you know the hall master needs to rest? Why are you here...hiss!!" At the end of his words, Wang Liuhe was suddenly startled. He was about to draw his sword, but it was no longer possible. He saw a finger suddenly press against his brow, and then there was a "crack" sound as if his skull was shattering.

A finger had pierced a large hole in his skull. He died instantly!
Finger bones like steel.

brush!
Seeing this, several people in the living room stood up and stared at the door. Then they saw Wang Liuhe lying in a pool of blood. A familiar person walked in with a maid.

If it’s not Xie An, then who could it be?
Xie An put his hands behind his back and walked towards the living room step by step. His solemn expression showed no sadness or joy, and his voice did not express any emotional fluctuations.

"Fang Baiyu, long time no see."

Clang!

Xu Bin and Wang Ziwen drew their swords at the same time and pointed them at Xie An.

Even with broadswords in hand, the two men felt dry mouths and cold sweat on their foreheads.

They all saw the scene where Xie An killed Wang Liuhe just now.

Finger bones like steel.

This is clearly the strength of the Iron Bone Realm.

Previously, they had thought that Xie An, who had just come to the pharmacy to collect the Tiger Bone Essence Soup for the first time, was only at the Great Perfection of the Flesh Realm, preparing for a breakthrough. So, if four masters of the Flesh Realm were besieging a Great Perfection of the Flesh Realm who had mastered the Heavy Mountain Blade, they would still have a good chance of winning.

In no mood……

Xie An showed the strength of the Iron Bone Realm as soon as he entered the sect.

Simply appalling.

It's so scary.

Da da da.

Xie An's footsteps sounded particularly clear in the quiet night, like the song of a dead soul demanding its life.

Finally, Xie An stopped outside the doorway and glared at Wang Ziwen and Xu Bin who were pointing knives at him. "You know, I just used knives as strong as steel. The person I'm looking for today is Fang Baiyu, and it has nothing to do with you. Put down the knife, and you can be safe."

Gulu.

Wang Ziwen and Xu Bin swallowed their saliva, looked at Xie An, then at Fang Baiyu, who was sitting in the chief seat in the living room. They were faced with a dilemma.

In the end, Xu Bin was no longer brave enough to face the pressure from the Iron Bone Realm, and was the first to put down his knife.

At this moment——

brush!
Xie An took a step forward and fiercely stabbed Xu Bin's brow. The finger was as fast as a stream of light and there was no way to dodge it. Before Xu Bin could react, he felt a chill between his eyebrows and heard a faint "crack". It was as if something had drilled into his skull.

He used up his last remaining consciousness and said, "Didn't you say that if I put down the knife, I would be safe..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Bin had already lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground. Blood and the smell of brain matter were gushing out from between his eyebrows.

"If you die, you will be safe and sound forever."

Xie An answered coldly, but Xu Bin could no longer hear him.

Clang!

Wang Ziwen could no longer hold the knife, let alone point it at Xie An. After dropping the broadsword, she immediately knelt on the ground and wailed for help, "Master Xie, spare my life! I was coerced!"

Bang bang bang!
He kowtowed frantically, banging his forehead against the bluestone bricks again and again, not daring to stop even when his skin was rubbed raw and bleeding. This pain was much less than the pain of having his skull pierced by Xie An.

Xie An ignored Wang Ziwen and instead stepped over the threshold, approaching Fang Baiyu step by step. "Master Fang, I just want to live a peaceful life, but you keep pushing me... Why are you doing this?"

I thought Fang Baiyu would be scared, but unexpectedly Fang Baiyu smiled.

Xie An stopped suddenly and focused his attention.

The powerful backer that Chen Qing mentioned?

Just before entering the door, Xie An lay on the wall to take a look at the situation here, and opened his five senses to carefully feel the movements in the yard. He did not find anything unusual, nor did he feel any breath... which means there was no other living person.

Where did he get his confidence?

However, the smile on Fang Baiyu's face made Xie An feel uneasy.

Are there other masters in this yard?

impossible.

My five senses can't be wrong.

He asked himself if he had been very cautious.

"Hahaha."

Fang Baiyu suddenly became extremely excited. "I just said that you ran away, you are lucky. It will be difficult to find a better opportunity next time. I didn't expect that you would be so stupid as to offer yourself to me. Iron Bone Realm... you think you can easily take my life? Do you think that I have been the hall master for all these years for nothing?
Hahahaha!

I never thought there is someone as stupid as you in the world. Hahaha!"

After laughing loudly, Fang Baiyu suddenly stood up and knelt down towards the back hall, "Respectfully welcome the Jade Bronze Envoy!"

Jade and bronze envoy?

Including Xie An, Wang Ziwen and Yuhe were all very surprised.

Where did the jade and bronze envoy come from?
Just then——

Dengdengdeng.

As footsteps approached, a bronze-colored humanoid monster slowly walked out from the back hall.

This monster had a withered face, a skinny body, and wrinkled skin clinging tightly to its bones, like a dried corpse. Its skin was like tree bark, and its eyes emitted a faint green light.

Extremely terrifying.

Wang Ziwen was so frightened that she trembled and fell to the ground, not daring to move.

Seeing this monster appear, Fang Baiyu felt extremely confident, and his expression became extremely fierce. "This is Fang's trump card, which should not be known to others. Now that you know it, then... no one present will survive.

Xie An, I'm not afraid to tell you that the Iron Bone Realm is no match for the Jade Bronze Master. Unless you're at the Five Organs Realm, you might be able to hold your own against the Jade Bronze Master for a few moves."

Jie Jie Jie.

The jade bronze envoy made a hoarse voice and looked at Xie An with greed in his eyes.

"Master, this is a higher level than the Aoki Black Corpse... the Bronze Corpse!" Yu He said at this time, "Fang Baiyu has joined the Corpse Refining Hall."

Fang Baiyu looked at Yuhe in surprise and laughed, "You are quite knowledgeable, maid. Even if you know, what will happen? None of you will survive."

At this moment, the Taoist talisman in Xie An's mind began to fluctuate.

[A wisp of immortal energy has been detected! Subdue it and absorb it. Absorbing it will accelerate the evolution of the longevity grid. If you collect enough immortal energy, you can advance the longevity grid to level two!]

Turtle...

No wonder my five senses didn’t detect any other living people in the yard before. It turned out to be a lifeless bronze corpse!
Xie An felt very excited and couldn't help but smile.

I've been grinding for the past year, and it shows that the progress of the Jade Art is relatively slow... Isn't this another wisp of immortal energy coming? Boosting Chang Sheng's life force by 20,000%?

Killing Fang Baiyu brings such an unexpected gain?

Xie An's mouth curved up and he couldn't help laughing.

Ok?
Fang Baiyu noticed something was wrong, "You're about to die and you can still laugh!?"

"I've never met anyone as stupid as you. Fang Baiyu, I want to thank you." Xie An didn't waste any words. He slowly drew the broadsword on his back, and his blood and energy became stronger and stronger. "Who told you... I'm only at the Iron Bone Realm!?"

"Yuhe, keep an eye on them. Don't let them run away."

Clang!

Xie An suddenly drew his sword, his qi and blood surged, his five internal organs gathered together, and made an ethereal sound of his five internal organs breathing and moving.

"Five Internal Organs Realm!!!"

Fang Baiyu suddenly screamed, and before he could react, he saw Xie An slashing at the Jade Bronze Envoy with a knife.

Draw your sword and chop.

Heavy Mountain Knife.

I have been raising the sword for a year, just for this moment.

In an instant, the blade flashed, and the sound of the sword exploded. The moment the sword was unsheathed, it brought with it an invincible sharp force, like a mountain or river pressing down, fiercely slashing towards the jade bronze envoy.

The Jade Bronze Envoy was startled, feeling as if a tiger was pouncing on him. He instinctively raised his hand to block the knife. Suddenly, there was a metallic buzzing sound!
An ordinary Five Organs Realm swordsman wouldn't have been able to slash through Yu Tong's arm bone. But Xie An's strength was too great, so immense that Yu Tong couldn't even imagine it. Combined with the unparalleled power of the Heavy Mountain Blade, the arm bone only held its own for a moment before it shattered with a crack.

The knife continued to move forward without slowing down.

"how come……"

Yutong felt terrified for the first time. Most of his body was chopped off. He fell to the ground with a bang, squirming non-stop, no longer able to resist.

pat.

Fang Baiyu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, trembling with fear, his eyes bloodshot. "One, one knife... Five, five internal organs..."

Xie An raised his broadsword and placed it against Fang Baiyu's neck. "Before I killed you, I was still struggling to find an excuse. Now it seems... colluding with the Corpse Refining Hall is enough for you to die a hundred times over. Fang Baiyu, get going. Once you get down there, apologize to Brother Wei and repent."

"Xie An, don't...Puff!"

Before he could finish his words, the head had already been moved.

The head happened to roll next to Wang Ziwen, which scared her half to death. She kowtowed and begged for mercy frantically.

Xie An ignored Wang Ziwen, but stepped on the squirming Yu Tong. He vaguely felt that although Yu Tong was about to die, it did not seem to be afraid. Instead, it was silently reciting some spell or something.

Although Xie An did not understand what it was saying, he felt that it was not a good thing, so he immediately activated the Taoist talisman in his mind and silently chanted in his heart:

Immortal energy, absorb it!
