Immortality begins with equipping a worn-out talisman pen.

Outside Wanfuzhai.

Liu Yan'er, dressed in a light green dress, stood in the middle of the street, her clothes fluttering in the wind.

Opposite her, three masked cultivators spread out in a triangular formation, completely blocking all her escape routes.

The one-eyed cultivator at the head of the group looked her up and down, his gaze sweeping unabashedly over her slender waist, before suddenly grinning.

"Tsk tsk, she's actually quite a beauty."

He licked his lips and said jokingly:

"What, are you alone? Where's your little lover?"

Upon hearing this, the other two cultivators also burst into ear-piercing laughter.

"Haha, I bet he's hiding inside like a coward."

"This little wench is quite pretty; I hope I don't kill her."

As the foul language rang out, Liu Yan'er's face turned ashen, and a murderous glint suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She was too lazy to waste words with these desperate criminals, and suddenly made a hand seal.

boom--!

The fire elemental energy between heaven and earth converged wildly.

A crimson fire dragon, about ten feet long, materialized out of thin air, its scales lifelike, spewing blazing flames from its mouth.

next moment.

The fire dragon let out a deep roar, dragging its long fiery tail, and pounced on the nearest Tribulation Cultivator!

The cultivator's expression changed drastically.

He never expected that this seemingly gentle and weak woman would be so ruthless, launching a killing move right from the start.

In the rush, he only had time to raise a small black shield.

boom!

The fire dragon slammed into the shield, and a terrifying heat wave exploded instantly. The black shield only lasted for a moment before its spiritual light dimmed.

The remaining flames grazed the man's head as they swept past.

Sizzle—!

Large sections of hair and scalp were instantly charred, filling the air with a pungent, burnt smell.

"ah--!"

A piercing scream echoed through the long street as the cultivator clutched his blood-soaked head, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot.

"Damn it! You bitch, you're asking for it!"

The smiles on the faces of the other two cultivators also gradually disappeared.

They finally realized that the woman in front of them was not some pampered young lady raised in seclusion, but a genuine late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

"Don't hold back! Cripple her first! Then we can do whatever we want with her."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them attacked simultaneously.

A cyan flying sword shot out from the sky, a jet-black copper ring swelled in the wind, and a crimson magic seal rapidly enlarged in mid-air, crashing down with astonishing spiritual pressure.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yan'er's pretty face paled slightly. Although she was also at the eighth level of Qi Refining, she was ultimately no match for four people, especially since none of the opponents had a cultivation level lower than hers.

She gritted her teeth and waved her slender hands repeatedly, sending several exquisite talismans shooting out from her sleeves.

Water Curtain Talisman, Golden Light Talisman, Firebird Talisman.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of bursts of light erupted, a huge water curtain rose, and a golden light shield enveloped her. Several firebirds shrieked as they rushed toward the flying sword.

The entire street was instantly engulfed by violent spiritual energy, and explosions were heard incessantly.

However, there were three of them on the other side.

Moreover, their seamless teamwork clearly indicated that this wasn't their first time committing murder and robbery.

As the flying sword retreated slightly, the copper ring seized the opportunity to smash down. Just as the magic seal was blocked, another person's spell followed.

The three men moved with perfect strategy, giving Liu Yan'er no chance to catch her breath or fight desperately. Like experienced hunters, they gradually wore down their prey's strength and will.

In just a short while, the talismans in Liu Yan'er's storage bag decreased at an alarming rate.

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, her breathing became rapid, and nearly half of her magical power had been consumed.

After blocking the bombardment of the copper ring once again, she staggered slightly, her face turning pale.

Upon seeing this, the three cultivators simultaneously revealed sinister smiles.

They knew that this woman was nearing her breaking point.

Liu Yan'er couldn't help but turn around and glance back.

Wanfuzhai stood there quietly, its shop doors tightly shut.

Further down the street, flames raged and shouts of battle filled the air.

But the support she was hoping for never arrived.

Neither the Bai family nor the market enforcement team came.

This moment.

An unprecedented chill slowly crept into her heart. Was she really going to die here today?

Just as her mind wavered slightly, the one-eyed calamity cultivator suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Little beauty, you've run out of talismans, haven't you? Surrender obediently, and you might suffer less."

The bald monk next to her leered as he looked at her.

"It's too late to say anything now. We brothers haven't had our fill in ages, we're going to make you feel like you're in heaven!"

The three of them laughed heartily and approached Liu Yan'er step by step.

However, Liu Yan'er's jade-like hand holding the magic weapon involuntarily turned slightly white.

At that moment, the air suddenly became quiet for a brief instant.

"Ding-dong."

It was as if a drop of spring water had fallen into the lake of everyone's hearts.

But the next moment, light blue ripples suddenly appeared in the air, spreading outwards in all directions.

——【The Abyss】.

The three cultivators froze simultaneously, feeling as if the surrounding air had become incredibly thick, as if a mountain was pressing down on them, making it difficult to even breathe.

The group reacted swiftly, managing to control the magical artifacts that had been aimed at Liu Yan'er. In their attempt to defend themselves, they found their magical power extremely sluggish, much slower than usual.

It was this momentary lapse in concentration that allowed them to watch helplessly as a black-gold aura passed right through them.

Everything in the air seemed to be in slow motion.

Puff, puff.

The two Qi Refining Stage 8 cultivators lowered their heads, looking at their chests, their eyes filled with confusion.

That blankness lasted only a second before it spread and dissipated like ink.

Two blood-red flowers bloomed in the air, reflected in Liu Yan'er's eyes. These were the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen in her life.

With a thud, two Qi Refining Level 8 cultivators collapsed, clutching their chests.

The only remaining one-eyed cultivator was already terrified, and the two Qi Refining Level 8 cultivators were instantly killed in a single exchange!

He didn't even see the shadow of the person who made the move!

His hair stood on end, and his voice became shrill.

"Which senior came to my aid?!"

The only response he received was a black and gold Cloud-Piercing Shuttle.

The shuttle that broke through the clouds returned, and in an instant, it split into eighty-one black-gold spiritual lights, with streams of light hanging in the sky like a black-gold meteor shower.

In the next instant, the eighty-one rays of light suddenly merged into one.

It is the third move of the Great Void Dividing Light Technique – [Return to One]!

The one-eyed thief's scalp exploded instantly.

He couldn't dodge that attack!

He frantically channeled his magical power, attempting to cast a protective spell, but the power within his body seemed frozen within his meridians, its circulation speed slowing down several times compared to normal.

The power of the Abyss still shrouds this place.

"Damn it!"

In desperation, he spat out a large golden bell from his mouth, which covered him.

boom!

With a loud thud, the top-grade magic weapon, the Great Bell, shattered completely.

Li Mufeng, who was hiding in the shadows, sighed. After all, the Broken Cloud Shuttle was only a mid-grade magic weapon, and its power was still limited. Otherwise, this one strike alone would have been enough to send this one-eyed tribulation cultivator to meet his companions.
