This martial arts tournament is time-stopping.

As Ye Chu waded through the wheat fields under the glow of the setting sun, he returned to the entrance of Qingniu Village and saw a thin, tearful girl rushing towards him.

"Ye Lang!"

The girl threw herself into Ye Chu's arms, her small hands trembling as she touched the bruises on his body. "Does it hurt? How could Niu Er and the others bully people like this!"

"It's nothing, just a minor scratch."

Ye Chu gently patted Ji Meng's back, feeling a warmth in his heart.

This is his only family member in the world.

Dinner consisted of two bowls of wild vegetable and mixed grain porridge, while Ye Chu, the main breadwinner, ate the thick porridge that had settled at the bottom of the pot, and Ji Meng sipped the wild vegetable soup floating on top.

During the meal, Ji Meng whispered, "Ye Lang, why don't we hand over Yin Tian? That Yang Bapi is ruthless; we can't beat them."

Ye Chu shook his head slightly in refusal, but still inquired, "Has Landlord Yang been at home these past two days, or gone to the county town?"

Since we've decided to nip it in the bud, we need to make sure we wipe it out completely!

In addition, the Yang family once produced a martial arts scholar, so perhaps some martial arts manuals can still be found in the old Yang family mansion!

Ji Meng recalled, "This afternoon, I heard from Aunt Wang, who cooks for the Yang family, that Yang the Skinflint took his son Yang Heng to Huangtian Temple to pray for blessings yesterday, and they haven't returned yet!"

"Praying for blessings from Heaven?"

Ye Chu frowned.

More than ten years ago, a great demon appeared in the 800-mile-long Qingniu Mountain and ravaged the people. Fortunately, the immortal master Tang Zhou stepped in to slay the demon and keep the area at peace.

After that, Master Tang Zhou built a temple outside Shuanglong County in Qingniu Mountain to suppress demons and spread his teachings.

The significance of Yang Bapi taking his son Yang Heng to Huangtian Temple to pray for blessings is self-evident!

A faint sound of a withered branch breaking reached Ye Chu's ears from the courtyard wall outside the window. Instantly, his eyes turned fierce, and his murderous intent intensified.

"Niu Er and his gang are even monitoring me at night? It seems Landlord Yang is determined to get my family's special hidden land!"

"Perfect! Let's take this opportunity tonight to eliminate Yang Bapi's wicked servants and henchmen, and tomorrow we'll find another chance to kill Yang Bapi's entire family!"

Ji Meng went to the kitchen to wash the pots.

Ye Chu then plucked a handful of wild grass and went inside to continue experimenting with the mysteries of the Longevity Immortal Body.

You need to understand your own abilities before you can use them effectively and kill people!

Otherwise, if your abilities fail at crucial moments and you fall behind, that would be the most fatal thing!

Inside the room, with a thought, a special Daoist energy of time flew out from the spring of time and landed on the bunch of wild grass he had just plucked, which then caused the threads of time around the grass to flow rapidly.

In just two seconds, the wild grass rapidly changed from lush green to yellowish-green, and then that bit of time-related energy was completely consumed.

"This is time acceleration!"

He then tried slowing down time, placing a bit of the Dao of Time onto a passing mosquito, thereby slowing down the flow of time threads on the mosquito's body.

The mosquito's flight speed instantly slowed down by three or four times, and it crawled through the air like a snail.

"good!"

As for Ye Chu's attempt to reverse the time threads on the mosquito by expending time-related Daoist energy, thereby achieving biological time reversal and returning to the past, it could not be accomplished!

At present, all he can do is use the power of time to speed up, slow down, or pause time!

Then Ye Chu summarized:

The Spring of Time is currently only in its initial stage of formation. It can absorb the power of time each day and transform it into 1 point of Time Dao Rhyme, but this is only enough to stop a spherical area with a radius of one meter for 10 seconds.

Accelerating or decelerating time will consume about four times less time essence, which can maintain a 40-second time limit!

Of course, as his immortal body continues to awaken and grow, his time manipulation abilities will become stronger and stronger!

Moreover, he discovered that as long as he stayed with Ji Meng, the rate at which Ji Meng's life was eroded by time would slow down.

in other words,

People who frequently spend time with Ye Chu can have their lifespan extended passively!

Even in the initial stage of his immortal body awakening, his lifespan was four times slower than that of an ordinary person, and he could easily live for three or four hundred years!

Midnight,

Ye Chu looked at [Time Dao Rhyme: 0.5] and the sleeping Ji Meng, a smile appeared on his lips, and he quietly got up, preparing to lure Niu Er and other evil servants of the Yang family who were still waiting outside the courtyard into Qingniu Mountain!

It is a widely acknowledged fact among the people of Qingniu Mountain that evil spirits dwell deep within its mountains.

Ye Chu, who dared to go into the mountains alone to cultivate a hidden field, was not just an ordinary farmer. He also knew some martial arts skills, such as patrolling the mountains, running around, collecting herbs, and hunting.

He gently draped the bow and arrows and quiver hanging on the wall over his body, then went into the stove to pick up his machete. Under the bright moonlight, he went straight out of the courtyard and headed into the Green Ox Mountain!

"Brother Niu, he really did go into the mountains!"

Wang Erdan excitedly peeked out from the pile of firewood.

"Brother Niu is a prophet! This fellow surnamed Ye won't be able to withstand the pressure tonight and will go to the Hidden Field to harvest the crops ahead of schedule! It's a good opportunity for us brothers to check for Master Yang what treasures the Ye family has buried in the Hidden Field that makes Master Yang so eager to get them?"

Gou Sheng rubbed his hands together, looking excited.

"snort."

Niu Er sneered, the humiliation of being countered by Ye Chu that afternoon still burning in his heart. Then he waved to the armed men behind him:

"Come on, follow him."

Once we find Hidden Field, we'll just beat him to death and push him off the cliff, so there'll be no way to prove anything!

"We'll take some of the benefits from Hidden Fields first, and Master Yang will give us another bonus, enough for us brothers to have a good time in the county town for three to five days!"

The group then quietly followed.

In spring, the vegetation in the mountains and forests grows wildly. If you don't walk on it for three to five days, the mountain paths will be covered by the new buds.

Ye Chu swung his machete, hacking at the vines and branches blocking his path.

Moreover, as his immortal body gradually awakened, not only did his strength surge, but his five senses also far surpassed those of ordinary people. He could clearly hear the sounds of grass and trees rubbing against his body on the path dozens of meters behind him.

"Since Niu Er and his gang of wicked servants have followed us, that's their fate! We'll find you a good burial plot later!"

Ye Chu's lips curled into a cold smile.

Perfect timing, he was going to use these people to test the upper limit of Hidden Field's special 'instant death' power.

And by using the lives of these wicked servants, we can uncover even more mysteries hidden in the hidden field!

However, the mountain paths are not easy to walk on at night.

Tripping and bumping into rocks and vines in the dark is a minor issue.

The real trouble comes from the frequent activity of jackals, tigers, leopards, or smaller creatures like scorpions and venomous snakes that hide during the day.

Only Ye Chu, with his sharp ears and keen eyesight, was able to avoid some hidden dangers and clear the way for the wicked servants who were secretly following behind, allowing them to quickly venture into the deep mountains.

Even though things went smoothly, Niu Er and his group began to feel apprehensive.

"Brother Niu, we've gone too far into the mountains! I've heard several wolf howls!"

"The deeper we go into the mountains, the darker and colder it gets. Could we be being targeted by some evil spirits?"

A few discouraging words made the group of people, who had initially been bold and thinking about making a fortune, hesitate.

There was no other way; more than ten years ago, the mountains were haunted by evil spirits, and everyone had personally experienced it.

So the fear of facing the dark mountains at night still lingers to this day!

Suddenly, the group of men became timid and longed for their mothers and to go home!

Niu Er looked back and saw that everyone's courage had waned. This wouldn't do; it would delay his chance to make a fortune!

"What are you afraid of? That guy surnamed Ye would never tend to his hidden fields during the day; he'd definitely do it under the cover of night! He makes so many trips throughout the year without any problems, why would we get into trouble just because we followed him once?"

"Besides, Huangtian Temple isn't far from our Qingniu Village. What kind of evil spirits would dare to come this way? You're just scaring yourselves..."

oooo~

Several wolf howls suddenly rang out from the hillside behind the group.
