Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: I Possess the Heavenly Book of Merit

Yu Yan fell into the grass, looked up, and watched as the spirit ship turned into flames under the barrage of attacks.

Fragments, still ablaze, fell from the sky and landed in the forest, igniting a raging wildfire.

Another disciple from another immortal peak was hiding not far away. Upon seeing this scene, his eyes were vacant and his face showed panic.

"It's all gone, everything's gone, we're finished."

Yu Yan glanced at him, confirming that the other party was already terrified and would only be a burden to be carried, so he remained silent, determined the direction, and quickly ran towards the territory of Feng Kingdom.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest. Logically speaking, the Black Dragon Bandits would think that most of the escapees would tend to flee to the neighboring Qing Kingdom. By doing the opposite at this time, they could at least avoid most of the Black Dragon Bandits.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Even though he was very careful and made almost no noise, he was still discovered when he passed by a small river.

With a whoosh.

Yu Yan turned to dodge, and the throwing knife, no bigger than a palm, sliced ​​straight at the tree behind him, instantly splitting it in two.

A cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining!

Fortunately, he still had his spiritual sense available; otherwise, given the speed of the throwing knife alone, it could have killed him in one strike.

Even so, Yu Yan's movements were still a bit slow, and his Taoist robe was already torn, with blood constantly seeping out.

He didn't even have time to check who attacked him, nor did he care about the bloodstains on his chest. Without saying a word, he activated the Shrinking Earth Talisman and immediately fled.

Life is the most important thing, and if we don't escape now, we might really die here.

This is not some fake, the kind of cultivation level that Yang Yun forcibly raised. This is a genuine late-stage Qi Refining cultivator with a strong spiritual sense. Moreover, judging from just that one strike, his strength is likely to be more than just the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Currently, Yu Yan only possesses a mid-grade first-tier spirit talisman, and has not received a single high-grade first-tier sword formation talisman, so he has absolutely no chance of winning in a fight.

In fact, during his time on the spirit ship, in addition to cultivating, Yu Yan also tried to draw a first-grade high-quality sword array talisman, but all of them ended in failure. Without the talisman in hand, he felt uneasy.

If they were to encounter the Black Dragon Bandit, who was at the late stage of Qi Refining, they wouldn't be able to fight him at all.

Run! Run wherever you want, as long as you don't end up in the thieves' den, just keep running.

In the stream, the water suddenly stopped for a moment, then surged up from both sides, revealing a figure, which finally transformed into a person in black robes.

The throwing knife turned around and circled the man, its speed increasing, creating countless afterimages before finally solidifying into a physical form.

The man in black pointed, and four throwing knives flew towards the woods.

He was masked, looking in the direction Yu Yan had left, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Based on that last throwing knife, the opponent shouldn't have been able to react in time and should have been cut in two.

"They actually managed to dodge it."

It seems we've encountered a little fish with its own secrets.

The man in black chuckled, but didn't pay much attention. Now that all the throwing knives had been thrown, he believed he would return with the corpse soon.

The terrain of this ring mountain is complex, and the mountain spirits will deliberately confuse people and make them lose their way. First-time visitors will not get very far.

Within this area, his divine sense could not detect the details, but it was more than enough to control the throwing knives for hunting.

In particular, his throwing knives contained the sword energy personally passed down by the leader.

This thing is something that only second-tier magic artifacts and above possess. Once you get it, you can't get rid of it. It damages your meridians and spreads throughout your body. If you don't use your spiritual power to suppress it in time, it can cripple the person affected from within the body in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

How could a mere ant in the mid-stage of Qi Refining possibly escape?

"It should be a head of decent value; the leader will reward me with quite a few spirit stones."

"Setting up an ambush here was definitely the right decision."

After speaking, the black-robed, masked man's spiritual power surged, and the river rose again, completely enveloping him and causing him to sink.

The river flowed normally, as if nothing had happened there.

…………

While on the run, Yu Yan noticed that the power of the Shrinking Earth Talisman was depleted, so he immediately took one out of his storage bag and reactivated it. He didn't even dare to look back, for fear that the other party would catch up with him.

He had lost count of how many Shrinking Earth Talismans he had used; he only knew that he had been running for a long time, from noon until nightfall, but he still hadn't escaped the forest.

Finally, the spiritual power of the Shrinking Earth Talisman was exhausted once again, and Yu Yan finally stopped.

He came to a tree and saw the mark he had made not long ago.

"Have I been going around in circles all this time?"

Before he could make a move, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the woods.

hum-

It was the same four throwing knives as before, but this time they were even faster!

"Zhong Linfu, Golden Scale Robe."

The enemy arrived too quickly and completely blocked off the area; it was too late to dodge.

Yu Yan could only rely on his defensive methods, and then watched helplessly as the flying knife easily broke through his defenses, its momentum undiminished, and still landed on the golden scale shirt.

"puff……"

The golden scales robe was torn open, but the momentum of the blade had not disappeared. It slashed fiercely into his waist, and the powerful blade energy rushed into his body, constantly damaging his meridians.

Yu Yan was shocked. Ignoring the pain, he immediately used his spiritual power to force the flying knife out of his body.

But the shockwave from the flying knife instantly sent him flying.

Yu Yan coughed up blood, and new wounds appeared on his body.

Fortunately, the throwing knives didn't coordinate perfectly. As the first knife hit him, it changed his position, causing the other knives to miss their target.

Otherwise, if they all hit him, he would have already lost his life.

However, even if they survived the first sneak attack, the current situation is not optimistic.

The blow he just received severely injured him. Not only were his internal organs damaged and he was bleeding constantly, but his inner core had also cracked slightly, making it unlikely that he could replenish the spiritual energy he had consumed.

Once the spiritual energy is exhausted, one will be at the mercy of others.

Before Yu Yan could catch his breath, all the throwing knives came at him again before he could even stand up completely.

However, this time he was prepared, activating a new Shrinking Earth Talisman and using its speed to dodge several attacks.

Even though he wasn't actually slashed, the tangible force of the blade that brushed past him still caused him to suffer minor injuries repeatedly.

The most fatal thing seemed to be the invading force of qi that kept invading his body. Yu Yan's spiritual power could not dissolve it and could only suppress it, which made his spiritual power consumption even higher.

Snapped--

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something break.

A powerful spiritual force spread throughout his body, and under the transformation of the Yin-Yang Convergence Talisman, it was completely put to Yu Yan's use.

He manipulated his spiritual power to suppress the qi to about 70-80%, and took advantage of the gap in the flying knife attack to swallow the Rejuvenation Pill given to him by the ancestor.

The medicine quickly spread and took effect, and the wounds on my body began to heal.

The Zhonglin Talisman and the Golden Scale Robe reappeared. Yu Yan didn't care about the quantity of the Zhonglin Talisman; there were plenty in his storage bag. If one was broken, he would activate the next one, hoping to stall for as long as possible.

But this is only a temporary measure. At this moment, Yu Yan must find a way to break through!
