Immortality begins with exchanging talent attributes.

Blackwater Gang headquarters.

The room fell silent for a moment.

The sounds of fighting and battle also stopped.

The sounds of battle seemed to have been forcibly suppressed by something.

Everyone's eyes instinctively turned to the broken Blackwater Gang main hall.

boom!

Lu Qingshuang's flying figure flipped suddenly in mid-air before her feet slammed heavily onto the ground.

She stepped on the bluestone slab and left two fine cracks.

She slid back a few steps before regaining her balance.

A trickle of blood slowly slid down the corner of her mouth.

Lu Qingshuang raised her hand to wipe away the bloodstains, her eyes still cold, but beneath that coldness, there was a hint of undisguised surprise.

What came into view was a humanoid monster that was over three meters tall, with dark purple skin and two strange protrusions on its forehead.

Shen Heng, having just dealt with the two Blackwater Gang elders, ran over covered in blood and said urgently:

"Commander Lu, are you alright?"

"It's nothing."

Lu Qingshuang didn't look at him, but instead looked at the little jailer standing in front of the humanoid monster.

Zhou Yan's body seemed frozen. He had a strong premonition that if he moved, he would face a fatal blow the next moment.

And I will definitely die!

Hearing the other person's deep, beast-like voice, his brain raced.

"Chief Kan, you've misunderstood, I..."

  

Before he could finish speaking, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept down from above.

With his life hanging in the balance, Zhou Yan no longer held back. He unleashed his full power from his second training, and with a stomp of his foot, he instantly unleashed the Heavy Mountain Step, a skill he had not yet mastered.

He was like a whirlwind, crashing through the dilapidated door and rushing out.

boom!

Kan Zhujiang slammed his inhuman hand on the ground, leaving a huge claw mark.

Roar!

Kan Zhujiang opened his mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, and roared in an instant, a sound that was neither beast nor human.

The next moment, his enormous figure charged toward Zhou Yan with overwhelming force.

It was even faster than him.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it."

Zhou Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he had two more legs.

And that terrifying hand reached out from behind again.

Before the palm strike landed, Zhou Yan felt a stinging pain on the back of his neck.

At this critical moment, the figure that appeared when Mo Yunfeng transmitted his skills reappeared in Zhou Yan's mind.

"Stepping into the mountain, each stomp feels like a mountain collapsing!"

A sudden inspiration struck him, and he stomped his foot, causing his blood and qi to circulate rapidly.

boom!

The bluestone slab underfoot suddenly shattered.

He suddenly twisted his body, almost brushing past Kan Zhujiang's fingertips as he moved sideways.

The large hand brushed against the hem of his clothes and tore off a large piece of his outer robe.

Kan Zhujiang was truly enraged; a tiny insect had managed to escape from his grasp time and time again.

With a roar, just as Kan Zhujiang was about to continue his pursuit, a cold light suddenly slashed from the side.

Lu Qingshuang has arrived.

With a flash of his sword, he instantly blocked the enormous figure.

Shen Heng followed closely behind, roared, and slashed down with his long sword like thunder.

This time, his attack was even more ruthless than when he dealt with the Blackwater Gang elder.

A swift knife rips through the night wind.

The blade flashed almost perfectly alongside Lu Qingshuang's sword strike.

The two men, one in front and one behind, managed to briefly overpower Kan Zhujiang.

Zhou Yan rushed forward a few more steps before finally managing to stop.

He was panting heavily, one hand on his knee.

The panel appears.

【Mountain Climbing Technique (Beginner)】

so close!

He was panting heavily, his back soaked with cold sweat.

He slightly raised his head to look at the battle in the arena.

This time, Lu Qingshuang did not fight her opponent head-on. Instead, she used her movement skills to move around constantly, leaving sword wounds all over his body.

Although Kan Zhujiang was enormous and incredibly strong, his speed became a weakness when facing a genius like Lu Qingshuang.

Lu Qingshuang dodged every attack in advance.

Shen Heng then took the opportunity to deliver the final blow from the side.

As the number of wounds increased, Kan Zhujiang's movements became noticeably slower.

In Zhou Yan's eyes, the lifespan required to exchange/redeem those three terms was also decreasing little by little.

50, 46, 38.

10, 8, 5.

He desperately wanted the power of nine oxen, but setting aside the fact that he only had a little over 10 years to live, the mere fact that the rule required contact to exchange it made him hesitate.

The other person's arm was almost as thick as his waist. If he rushed up at this moment, let alone exchanging entries, he would probably be smashed into a pulp before he even touched the other person.

Don't rush.

Zhou Yan forcibly suppressed the greed in his heart.

Roar!

Kan Zhujiang's two enormous arms swept across, forcing Lu Qingshuang and Shen Heng to retreat.

"Commander Lu, why are you pressing me so hard? I, Kan, know nothing about the Wusheng Sect and have no connection with them."

Lu Qingshuang stood with her sword drawn, the tip pointing directly at her opponent, her tone icy cold:

"No connection? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Speak! What does it mean that the plums are ripe? Tell me, and I'll give you a quick death."

Kan Zhujiang glanced at Zhou Yan almost unintentionally, and said in a muffled voice.

"What else could it mean? It's just the literal meaning."

"Stubborn to the end, you're asking for it!"

Lu Qingshuang stopped wasting words with him and wielded her longsword, sending out sword shadows that left wounds on Kan Zhujiang's massive body.

"grown ups!"

The sound rolled across the Blackwater Gang's stronghold like muffled thunder.

But the next moment, a soft laugh rang out.

"Hehehehe..."

Everyone instinctively looked up.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the eaves of the main hall.

The man was wearing a red cloak, had a slender figure, and a delicate, feminine face.

Despite having a male face, his every move exuded an indescribable eeriness.

"Lu Qingshuang? Lu Yuan's daughter, indeed impressive!"

Lu Qingshuang sheathed her sword and turned around, watching the person on the roof warily.

Who are you?

The man did not answer.

The red figure flashed and landed from the eaves next to Kan Zhujiang.

It was as fast as a phantom.

He reached out and gently stroked Kan Zhujiang's dark purple arm, his eyes glazed over, as if admiring a finely crafted object.

"Isn't the guardian deity I taught you absolutely beautiful?"

"We used the essence and blood of a first-tier bovine spirit beast and a second-tier spirit beast, the Gray Cicada, along with Elder Kan's foundation in physical training, to create such a wonderful body."

Kan Zhujiang let out a suppressed growl.

But there was no rebuttal.

"The heretics of the Wusheng Sect!"

Lu Qingshuang shouted coldly, and drew her sword, ready to step forward.

But in the blink of an eye, the person reappeared on the roof.

Everything seemed like an illusion.

What incredible footwork!

Lu Qingshuang was shocked.

Zhou Yan was also surprised.

No way, this "adult" just appeared as soon as I called out?

That's a bit too easy...

I subconsciously looked up.

A striking deep blue light shone forth.

【Rashomon's Floating Shadow (Blue)】

The target state is stable; the exchange would take 480 years.

I can't afford to replace it.

The man spoke in a voice that sounded extremely uncomfortable:

"Shen Zhongheng, come out. Haven't you been investigating me all along?"

The words fell.

A burst of laughter rang out, the sound like a booming bell, causing the entire encampment to tremble slightly.

"Hahaha, Gong Changying, you sissy, I knew it was you."

On the other side of the roof ridge, a tall figure slowly appeared.

Shen Zhongheng.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his dark robes with silver trim fluttering in the night wind, making him look like an insurmountable mountain.

"Hehehe... Lord Shen, your Black-Clad Guards are truly persistent. Even though we've come to such a remote place, you still managed to find us."

Gong Changying chuckled softly.

"Hmph, all land under heaven belongs to the king. How can you evil demons and heretics escape the light of the righteous path?"

Shen Zhongheng said with righteous indignation.

Listening to their conversation, Zhou Yan couldn't help but frown.

It seems like these two had planned this all along.

But before he could think further...

"Evil and heretical paths? Heh, then let me experience whether Lord Shen's raging palm strike deserves the title of righteous path!"

Before he finished speaking, Gong Changying flashed, leaving afterimages like floating duckweed, heading straight for Shen Zhongheng.

"Good timing!"

"A tidal wave crashes against the sea!"

Shen Zhongheng shouted and suddenly pushed his palms forward.

A roar like waves crashing against the shore filled the air, and a powerful palm strike, like a raging tide, slammed down on the red afterimage.

boom!

The two men's moves collided.

The violent shockwave instantly spread outwards.

The people inside the Blackwater Gang's stronghold were blown about, and many gang members were even knocked to the ground.

Zhou Yan was also pushed back several steps by this shockwave.

He had just regained his balance when he caught a glimpse of a huge black shadow out of the corner of his eye.

Kan Zhujiang made a move.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two above were fighting and everyone's attention was diverted, he suddenly turned around and rushed out of the Blackwater Gang's stronghold.

He's trying to escape!

Lu Qingshuang reacted extremely quickly, her figure flashed, and her long sword chased after her.

The sword light struck Kan Zhujiang's back repeatedly.

But he ignored it all, letting the sword tear bloody gashes across his body, determined to break free.

Shen Heng roared in response and swung his sword to intercept.

Kan Zhujiang simply used his shoulder to ram Shen Heng, sending him flying backward.

Zhou Yan's eyes flashed violently as he watched the huge figure fleeing in a hurry.

A crazy and audacious idea suddenly popped into my head.

Dry!
