My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 925 Repelling the Enemy, Bone Nails (Two-in-One)

Shen Changchuan's refusal was clearly unexpected by the two people present.

"What do you mean?"

"Not just anyone can gain Master Li's favor!"

"It's your good fortune to be allowed to join the Black Ice Guard, don't push your luck!"

The young man beside Granny Snake's face suddenly turned cold.
He stared coldly at Shen Changchuan and said in a chilling voice.

He was standing there at that moment.

Nothing was done.
But in that instant,

An invisible killing intent spread through the void!

The air became oppressive.

"Master Li? Is that what you call the leader of your Black Ice Guard?"

"It's clear that you respect him a lot."

"But what does this have to do with me? I just never thought that someone could act like a dog and still feel superior!"

Shen Changchuan's expression was a half-smile.

Given the other party's attitude, there's naturally no need for me to be polite in the slightest.

"You are looking for death!"

The young man's face turned ashen. He shouted and disappeared like a ghost in the next moment. He had already covered a distance of more than ten feet and approached Shen Changchuan as if he had teleported!

Its speed is so fast,

Before Liu Ruyin could even react, she was horrified to find a dark figure already in front of her!

"You don't know what's good for you! It's your good fortune that Master Li thinks highly of you!"

"Since you're so ungrateful for my kindness and refuse, then I don't need to keep you here!"

A voice, as cold and distant as a demon's, instantly entered Shen Changchuan's ears.

Then, a short sword with a cold, eerie blue light slid out from the young man's sleeve. The sword flashed through the sky, aiming straight for Shen Changchuan's throat!

This sword strike was as fast as lightning, with visible black evil energy swirling around its blade, even corroding the air and making a hissing sound!
Liu Ruyin gasped in surprise at the overwhelming murderous aura.
At that moment, she seemed to see countless souls who had died unjustly under this sword, and they let out painful howls!
This was an unstoppable sword strike!
The sheer sharpness emanating from the sword's edge was enough to give one the feeling that death was imminent!
however,
Faced with such a horrific attack,

Shen Changchuan's expression, however, showed little change.

He stood still, motionless.

As the deadly, sharp sword tip reached him, Shen Changchuan casually raised his right index finger.
With a crisp "ding",
A visible ripple spread outwards in all directions.
The sharp tip of the sword, which was tearing through the air, was firmly held back by a single finger!
"How can it be?!"

The young man's pupils suddenly contracted.

At that moment, he felt as if his longsword had been plunged into an impenetrable wall, and his two fingers seemed to have become an insurmountable barrier, making it impossible for the sword to advance even an inch!
The young man unleashed his inner energy and tried to draw his sword to attack again, but he was horrified to find that the sword was as if welded to the opponent's fingertip, and no matter how much force he exerted, it did not budge!

At that moment, an endless chill rose in the young man's heart!

He underestimated his opponent!

The brat in front of me is not like the rumored one, who took advantage of Lu Changhe's carelessness and killed him when he was off guard!

This kid has probably reached a terrifying level of strength that is in no way inferior to the older generation of innate masters in just over ten years!
The young man was terrified!

At this time,

Shen Changchuan's expression remained largely unchanged. He released a burst of energy from his fingertips, seemingly effortlessly pointing forward.

In an instant, the young man felt an overwhelming force flowing through the sword!

That once-mighty sword, capable of cutting through iron like mud, shattered like glass in an instant. With a series of cracking sounds, the blade broke into countless fragments, and at the same time, a terrifying force traveled along the blade.

The bones in the young man's entire right arm made a teeth-grinding cracking sound, and his body flew backward like a broken sack, crashing into three pine trees as thick as bowls before falling heavily to the ground!

"!!!"

All of this sounds like a long story, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye.

"Junior is arrogant!"

Until the youth was easily blasted away,
Only then did Granny Snake realize what was happening.
Her expression changed drastically, and she shouted angrily, stomping her snake-headed staff on the ground.

in an instant,
Suddenly, several waves of earth rose from the ground, and three black pythons as thick as bowls burst out of the ground, spewing foul-smelling poisonous mist as they attacked Shen Changchuan, covering the sky and almost sealing off every inch of the void in front of him!
"Ok?"

This miraculous method, which resembled magic, surprised Shen Changchuan.

This doesn't seem like martial arts; it's more like some kind of magic or spell!
However, although he was surprised...

But Shen Changchuan's movements did not slow down at all.

He stomped his foot on the ground, and with a muffled thud, a large crater suddenly collapsed into the ground, which was about ten feet in diameter!
An invisible shock burst forth in all directions!
The ground cracked and crumbled wherever it went!

The moment the three black venomous pythons crashed into the air shield, it was as if they had hit an impenetrable wall. Their heads exploded on the spot, turning into black mist that scattered everywhere!

"what?!"

Upon seeing this, Granny Snake's expression changed drastically, and she let out a muffled groan as a trickle of blood flowed from her mouth!

Shen Changchuan broke her spell directly using unknown methods.

This caused her to suffer a direct backlash!
And this moment,
The strength that Shen Changchuan displayed had far exceeded their expectations!

That was reckless!
Those bastards in the Beggars' Sect must have altered the rumors about that battle.
This kid's strength is even more terrifying than the rumors suggest!
If only I had known this earlier...

Their attitude will definitely be even more respectful!

But unfortunately,
There's no going back in this world.

Now that we've chosen to take action, there's no turning back!
A thought flashed through my mind.
Without pausing her movements, Granny Snake quickly bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. A cloud of crimson blood mist suddenly spread out, carrying a corrosive stench. Along its path, vegetation withered and emitted a hissing, corrosive white mist!
A glint flashed in Shen Changchuan's eyes.
Such methods are more like magical techniques!

The martial arts techniques I've encountered in this world don't have such an effect!

Is it possible?
Is there another similar system in this world?

Just as Shen Changchuan was pondering,

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from within the crimson blood mist. Several cold stars pierced the air and seven bone needles flew out, accompanied by a mournful ghostly howl, shooting towards the major acupoints on Shen Changchuan's body!
As the bone needles flew, they emitted a mournful whistling sound.

At this moment, even Shen Changchuan felt his soul waver!
"An interesting tactic!"

"If someone else is not careful and their mind is affected by this sound, they will likely be affected if they pause for even a moment."

"However, it is ultimately just a trivial skill!"

This method is absolutely ingenious in this world. But unfortunately,
In the realm of the soul, Shen Changchuan is the true expert!

With a flick of his sleeve, Shen Changchuan stirred the air like flowing water, creating a visible vortex. The seven bone needles that had pierced through the air were instantly trapped in the vortex, losing all their power and stagnating and spinning three inches above his palm.

Shen Changchuan carefully examined the seven bone nails.

The surprise and curiosity in their eyes intensified!

This thing looks like it's made from the bones of some unknown creature!

Could it be that there are some strange beasts in this world that he is unaware of?

Just as Shen Changchuan was examining the bone nail in his hand...
not far away,
Granny Snake stared at the scene in horror, her eyes wide, as if she had seen something unbelievable!
She cried out in surprise.
The cane in his hand was suddenly slammed into the ground. The next moment, the cane disintegrated, spewing out a cloud of black mist that swept across the sky like a tidal wave!
In the blink of an eye, half the forest was swallowed up by the black mist!

Shen Changchuan frowned slightly.
These black mists seemed to contain some kind of strong poison, so much so that wherever they spread, the vegetation turned yellow and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye!
boom!
Shen Changchuan stepped on the ground.
A powerful burst of true energy erupted from his body, and a mighty force rose from the ground, eventually forming a semi-transparent energy shield visible to the naked eye within a radius of about ten feet!

When the black mist swept in and encountered the protective shield of true energy, it could no longer advance an inch!

However, although he managed to create a protective shield of true energy through his extremely strong control over it to resist the erosion of the black mist,

But Shen Changchuan wasn't one to just take a beating without fighting back.
While maintaining the protective shield of true energy to protect himself and Liu Ruyin beside him,

He raised his palm and slammed it forward.

Boom boom boom! ! !
A giant palm print of true energy, as if gathering a mighty storm, suddenly slammed out into the void!
In an instant,

The world is in turmoil!
A powerful gust of wind swept across the plain, and the surrounding trees creaked and groaned under the impact of the fierce airflow, bending and breaking one after another!
Large swathes of air in front of them caved in.
Finally, with that mighty and enormous palm print sweeping across, it surged and swept in all directions like a tsunami!
Under Shen Changchuan's palm strike,
The black mist that filled the sky was eventually swept away and dissipated!
A large section of forest had been blasted open, revealing what was in front of them!

But at this time,

Neither the snake-like old woman nor the previously unruly young man had both disappeared.

Clearly, they had already escaped during the chaos.

"They talked so nicely, acting all arrogant, but in the blink of an eye, they turned around and ran away with their tails between their legs."

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, his voice tinged with disdain.

He had originally planned to see more of the other party's interesting methods.

Perhaps we can even learn something from this.

It turned out to be a feint.
They just ran away.

This made him somewhat unhappy.

After weighing the seven bone-piercing nails he had snatched from the snake granny in his hand, Shen Changchuan put them away.

This thing is a pretty good loot.
Moreover, it can play a greater role in his hands.

at least,

If he were to use it,
Unlike the other party, I won't be easily taken away by someone else.

This thing,
It already has the rudimentary form of a magical artifact.

That snake granny was only used as a hidden weapon to smash things, what a waste!

And at this time...
Liu Ruyin, who was standing to the side, glanced at Shen Changchuan with some fear, then quickly lowered her head and said nothing.

If Shen Changchuan knew what Liu Ruyin was thinking...
That should explain why those two ran away so decisively and so quickly.

What Shen Changchuan didn't know was that,

The seven bone nails in his hand at this moment are actually the Seven Fiend Soul-Chasing Needles, which are famous throughout the martial arts world!
More than one Grandmaster-level expert has died because of this thing!
Even grandmasters have been affected by the Seven Fiend Soul-Chasing Needles and suffered injuries as a result!

It is precisely because of this that
Granny Snake has established a formidable reputation in the martial arts world!

However, this very method, which made countless martial artists tremble with fear in the martial arts world, was taken away by Shen Changchuan in the process of using it!

Anyone who saw this scene,
They would probably be terrified!

No wonder the two of them didn't dare leave any harsh words behind, and took advantage of the time when the black smoke was billowing out to make a quick getaway.

"Well, in the future, when we have to deal with that King Wei, we'll inevitably have to deal with them."

"I'll take another look at this magic-like technique in the future to see what its underlying principle is."

A thought flashed through my mind.

Shen Changchuan shook his head slightly, then stopped taking it to heart.

I can study these things when I have enough strength in the future, and I will have plenty of time and energy to do so.

The most important thing right now is to advance to the Innate Grandmaster realm first!

"Let's go, it seems this was just an accident."

"Next, please lead the way, Miss Liu."

Shen Changchuan looked at Liu Ruyin, who was standing there in a daze, and said.

"Alright, Mr. Liu, this way please!"

Liu Ruyin gave Shen Changchuan a complicated look and took the initiative to lead the way.

In the battle in Sanjiang City where Shen Changchuan and Lu Changhe killed each other, their attacks were so fast that she couldn't react in time, and the battle ended quickly.

At the time, she was in the back, and although she felt the overwhelming pressure from Lu Changhe, the nine-bag elder of the Beggars' Sect, she didn't have any direct experience of the details of that battle.

All that is known is that the final battle ended in Shen Changchuan's victory.

In the martial arts world,

Rumors circulated that Shen Changchuan took advantage of Lu Changhe's carelessness to catch him off guard and thus managed to kill him.

Under normal circumstances, Shen Changchuan might be able to fight against ordinary innate grandmasters with his strange inheritance, but he would definitely not be able to kill Lu Changhe, the nine-bag elder of the Beggar Clan!
While traveling, when passing through villages and towns,
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyin recalled the battle in Sanjiang City and vaguely felt the same way.

But until this moment,
Seeing with his own eyes how Shen Changchuan effortlessly defeated the infamous and notorious Snake Granny, a veteran innate expert of the Demonic Sect, with a mere flick of his wrist, was truly remarkable.

Liu Ruyin then realized that those so-called rumors in the martial arts world were complete nonsense!
There are people in this world who defy common sense. After practicing martial arts for ten years or so, they can surpass the skill that many people have cultivated for decades or even a lifetime!
"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it seems like your strength has increased quite a bit!"

"What level is he at now? Grandmaster, or is he at the level of a Great Grandmaster?"

"This is truly unbelievable! Senior, you don't seem to have advanced to the Innate Realm yet!"

"However, with this level of strength, the troubles caused by the Six Harmonies Sect are no longer a problem."

Many thoughts flashed through my mind.

Liu Ruyin led the way, and the two embarked on the road up the mountain.
