Stepping onto the path to immortality, it all begins with buying the daughter of a disgraced officia

The sword light raged and tore through the air!

brush--

Qingzhu's pupils dilated slightly, then she came to her senses and suddenly threw out the soft sword in her hand, forcing Su Mu to attack!

"Old man, I didn't expect you to have some skill!"

Her tone was cold, and she once thought that Su Mu was no match for her. She mobilized the spiritual energy in her body and attacked Su Mu!

At this moment, her spiritual energy suddenly became chillingly cold, and her skin beneath her clothes began to shimmer with tiny scales, a sign that the Yin Sha Serpent Shedding Secret Technique was being fully activated.

Not only that, but the air around her surged wildly, and the pressure of the fourth level of Qi Condensation spread out with a roar. The soft sword, infused with spiritual energy, gleamed with a cold, eerie green light, and its speed increased several times over. With a cunning angle like a snake's bite, it pierced straight at Su Mu's vital point in the heart.

"Prepare to die!"

Qingzhu felt that his cultivation had greatly increased, and he had already surpassed Su Mu. His sword moves became more and more vicious, and each strike was wrapped in Yin Sha Qi. The ground was left with scorched and black ravines after the sword energy swept over it.

A sinister smile played on her lips, as if she could already see Su Mu lying on the ground, badly injured.

brush--

Su Mu moved slightly, his steps light yet as steady as a rock, remaining calm and composed in the face of the fierce attack.

The moment the soft sword was close, he suddenly thrust out his Azure Peak Sword, and the spiritual energy of the peak fifth level of Qi Condensation burst forth like a tsunami. The sword shone with a brilliant blue light and struck the soft sword directly.

"clang!"

Qingzhu felt a sharp pain and numbness in her arm, and the soft sword almost flew out of her hand. A powerful force entered her body through the sword, causing her blood and qi to surge. She staggered back several steps before barely managing to stand firm, and the sinister smile on her face instantly froze.

"Impossible! How could you have such strength?"

Her eyes were filled with disbelief. She tried to attack again, but Su Mu's sword moves suppressed her completely.

Su Mu's swordplay was steady and sharp, each strike precisely countering her cunning tactics, and the golden sword energy continuously eroded her Yin energy.

After three moves, Qingzhu was full of openings. Su Mu seized the opportunity and with a light flick of his longsword, he knocked away her soft sword, the tip of which was aimed directly at her throat.

Qingzhu felt ice-cold all over, her Yin energy dissipated, and the backlash from the secret technique made her face turn deathly pale. Only now did she realize the vast difference in strength between the two of them.

"it's over!"

Su Mu's eyes were cold and sharp. He thrust his longsword forward, and the cold light had already touched Qingzhu's throat.

Qingzhu's face was ashen, and he had already closed his eyes to await death, his heart filled with resentment and despair at being crushed.

However, at this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the bottom of the pool, and water splashed into the sky!

The four-armed demon ape that had fallen into the pool earlier roared out with a foul wind, its arms growing larger and its palms, as big as palm leaves, wrapped with immense demonic power, and slammed fiercely towards Su Mu's back.

"roar--"

Su Mu frowned, sensing a deadly threat. He hadn't expected the four-armed demon ape to appear at this time. If he insisted on killing it, he would be severely injured by the demon ape.

He snorted coldly, his wrist twisted rapidly, and he withdrew his Green Peak Sword to parry. At the same time, he spun around and retreated several feet by touching the ground with his toes, barely avoiding the demon ape's attack.

"boom!"

The giant ape's paw slammed into the ground, sending shards of rock flying and creating several deep trenches.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qingzhu staggered backward, coughing up blood while clutching her chest. Still shaken, she looked at the demon ape with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Su Mu stood still, his longsword pointing diagonally at the ground, its azure light swirling around him. His gaze swept coldly over the demonic ape and the green bamboo, his aura undiminished.

now.

Fourth Master Qingzhu, Four-Armed Demon Ape, Su Mu.

They formed a triangular formation again, each refusing to yield and staring intently at the others.

boom--

But at this moment!

Not far away.

On the stone platform in the center of the pool, the Azure-Eyed Serpent King had already begun to shed its skin, and energy fluctuations rippled outwards.

The bottom of the pool began to wriggle, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be low-level blue-eyed demon serpents that had not yet developed intelligence!

"Oh no! The Jade-Eyed Serpent King has started shedding its skin! We must kill it before it does!" Qingzhu thought to herself, realizing the situation was dire. She quickly looked at the group fighting Tie Niu, "You guys stop them!"

at the same time.

the other side.

Iron Bull was engaged in a fierce battle with the other four leaders of the Green Snake Society.

Crazy Knife, Blood Eye, Ghost Hand, Eagle King.

The four constantly changed positions, each employing a different offensive strategy, forcing Tie Niu to retreat repeatedly.

Fortunately, with his physical advantage and the fact that the others had been severely injured, he was no match for Tie Niu, and the five of them were locked in a stalemate.

"We can't delay any longer! Let's join forces and kill this brat!"

"..."

"Let's do it!"

Mad Blade roared first, his long blade slashing towards Iron Bull's face with a fierce wind, the blade light as cold as snow.

Blood Eye followed closely behind, his fingertips congealing into dark red blood needles, which he aimed directly at the major acupoints on Iron Bull's body.

Ghost Hand moved with unpredictable movements, his palm strike carrying poison as he reached for Iron Bull's waist.

Eagle King leaped into the air, its claws gleaming, and swooped down to attack Iron Bull's neck.

The four attacked from all sides, each move deadly. Their combined blood and poison locked down the space around Tie Niu.

"You want to kill me? Dream on!"

With a roar, Tie Niu advanced instead of retreating, unleashing the full power of his Three Pillars of Overlord Body Technique. His muscles swelled, his skin glowed with a bronze hue, and his physical hardness rivaled that of a peak fourth-realm martial artist.

Ignoring the blood needles and poisonous palm strikes, he braced his left arm against the madman's slash. With a clang, sparks flew everywhere, and the madman's blade was knocked out of his hand.

At the same time, his right fist, carrying immense force, slammed out and struck Eagle King squarely in the chest.

Eagle King let out a miserable cry and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, but was caught by Ghost Hand in time.

Seeing this, the three became even more wary, but refused to back down and surrounded the enemy again.

With his terrifying strength and power, Tie Niu charged around, each punch causing the ground to tremble and forcing the three to dodge repeatedly.

During the fierce battle, Tie Niu was struck in the shoulder by a ghostly hand claw and shot in the abdomen by a blood needle, yet he remained fearless in the face of death.

He seized the opportunity and pounced on the Eagle King, whose weakness was greatest. He locked his arms tightly around the Eagle King's torso, letting the mad blade slash at his back and the blood needles pierce his shoulder blades.

Recalling the scene of his mother being taken away, he suddenly exerted his strength and roared ferociously, "Die!"

"No--"

"Eagle King!"

With a crisp "crack," the Eagle King's neck snapped, and it died instantly.

Iron Bull was covered in blood and staggered a few steps. His domineering power began to dissipate due to his serious injuries.

Seizing the opportunity, the three members of the Mad Blade Trio launched a series of fierce attacks. Although Iron Beef's body was strong, it was no match for the continuous heavy blows. Blood gushed from his mouth and nose, and his movements gradually slowed down.

"Damn it! You bastard, I'll kill you!"

Ghost Hand, who was on good terms with Eagle King, was enraged to see Eagle King die before his eyes. He mobilized all his energy and charged towards the heavily injured Iron Bull, yelling, "Ghost Hand! Die!"

Tie Niu's pupils trembled violently as he saw the attack coming from the other side. He tried to dodge the attack, but at this moment he felt his body becoming heavier and heavier, and he had no time to avoid the ghost hand's attack.

"Boy, you dare kill my Green Snake Society's leader? I'll make sure your entire village pays the price!"

Ghost Hand roared, his eyes bloodshot, clearly enraged by Tie Niu's actions. Regardless of his injuries, he was determined to kill him and avenge Eagle King!

Tie Niu's eyes were narrowed, and he was breathing heavily. His hands, which were holding the mountain-moving axe, were already too weak to lift.

He knew he was likely going to die today. "Master... I can't continue serving you. In the next life, I'll be your servant again..."
