I, a centenarian, sweep through the gates of immortality.

The burly man in black looked deeply puzzled.

He had already grabbed Lin Feng by the neck, and Lin Feng's cultivation level was far inferior to his.

But Lin Feng still kept saying he wanted to kill him.

That's wishful thinking!

"Kill me? In your next life..."

Before the burly man in black could finish his sarcastic remark, he suddenly felt an extremely sharp sword intent.

Lin Feng did not draw his sword, but he felt a sword intent very close at hand, even pressing against his neck.

He stared intently at Lin Feng, and suddenly noticed that the jade pendant hanging around Lin Feng's neck was emitting faint blue light.

The sharp sword intent actually emanated from the jade pendant.

"not good!"

The reason this burly man in black was so confident was because Ying Wujiu had given him detailed information, and he had already eliminated all of Lin Feng's escape routes.

But now, after seeing the jade pendant, he finally realized that Lin Feng had another trump card.

That sharp sword intent seemed poised to tear him to shreds at any moment.

A strong sense of crisis, mixed with fear, made him involuntarily want to retreat.

However, Lin Feng did not give him that chance.

Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and the jade pendant on his chest suddenly flashed. A remnant of a broken sword spirit shot out and flew towards the burly man in black.

The burly man in black was startled and instinctively dodged to the side.

He was extremely fast.

But he was too close to Lin Feng.

The two were practically touching.

So much so that even though he tried his best to dodge, the sword intent shot out by the jade pendant still pierced through his heart.

"what!"

"puff!"

The man in black crashed heavily to the ground, blood gushing from his chest, and instantly lost the ability to move.

"you!"

Lin Feng ignored the man in black and slowly stepped forward, aiming at the man's dantian.

He was cautious by nature. Although he had seriously injured the man in black, the other party was a cultivator. Only by destroying his dantian could he ensure that the other party would have no power to resist.

"Whoosh!"

Another fierce sword intent shot out, piercing through the black-clad man's dantian.

The spiritual energy that had been painstakingly cultivated for many years was instantly dispersed by Lin Feng.

After the spiritual energy used to keep the injured man from dying dissipated, the man in black truly became a dying man, his breath becoming barely perceptible.

He stared intently at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with shock and resentment, and weakly uttered his last words.

"I...I should snap your neck right now..."

Lin Feng's aged face showed little expression. He simply squatted down slowly, drew the black-clad strongman's sword, and said calmly.

"After catching a mouse, a cat will always play with it until it's satisfied before killing it."

"Unfortunately, I'm not a mouse."

After saying that, Lin Feng suddenly raised his sword and beheaded the burly man in black.

There were no screams, only gushing blood.

dead.

Fortunately, Lin Feng was at the third stage of Qi Refining, and the blood was blocked by the released spiritual energy before it sprayed onto him.

After a while, when the bleeding stopped, Lin Feng squatted down again and began searching the body of the burly man in black.

They quickly found a storage bag on the other person's chest.

Storage bags, while not exactly treasures, are extremely practical and usually quite expensive to buy. Killing this burly man in black today is a windfall.

Lin Feng then opened the storage bag and rummaged through it.

There are many pills, materials, and spirit stones inside.

After flipping through the pages, what interested Lin Feng the most was a sword manual.

"Blood Shadow Sword Technique".

"Superior-grade swordsmanship!"

Lin Feng's knowledge was limited, and he was unable to distinguish between good and bad in other matters for the time being.

But this sword technique is different; it's clearly of superior quality, definitely a good sword technique.

Lin Feng was born with a sword-wielding constitution, but he had never been exposed to swordsmanship before. He found this sword manual and immediately began to read it.

This sword technique truly deserves its superior quality; though incredibly profound, it is also simple and easy to understand.

The only downside is that the hard requirement for cultivation is that the cultivator must reach the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

At the very least, one must be able to fly on a sword in order to practice this sword technique.

This burly man in black was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment; he was probably preparing this for himself.

"My darling!"

"pity."

With a soft sigh, Lin Feng even put away the sword of the burly man in black.

"I'll take your treasure without hesitation."

"Your body..."

Lin Feng pondered what to do with the body of the burly man in black, or rather, what his next move should be.

According to Yun Shu and the others' plan, Lin Feng should be going to Dunhua City now.

But now that Ying Wujiu has made it clear that he wants to kill him, if he still goes to Dunhua City according to the established plan, Ying Wujiu will definitely take further action after learning the news.

Lin Feng's cultivation level is currently not high, so he may not be able to protect himself.

But if I don't go, where should I go?

Lin Feng thought it over carefully. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to go to Dunhua City, but he could not seek refuge with Chongyanggu's businesses.

As long as he is not discovered by the people of Chongyang Valley, Ying Wujiu will not be able to find him in a short period of time.

At the same time, arriving in Dunhua City would make it easier for him to inquire about news of Chongyang Valley at any time.

one stone two bird.

"That's settled then. Let's hide away and cultivate for now, improving our strength while gathering information."

Having made up his mind, Lin Feng slowly extended his right hand, releasing a lot of spiritual energy from his aged palm. He somewhat clumsily compressed and ignited the energy, then quickly released it onto the corpse of the burly man in black.

Normally, cremation of a corpse takes a long time, but Lin Feng used spiritual energy as flames, and in a short time, he burned the black-clad strongman's corpse to ashes.

To destroy the evidence and cover up the crime.

In this way, even if the young Taoist boy goes back to report and the people from Chongyang Valley arrive, they will only know that someone has died, but will not know who died.

After finishing all the cleanup work, Lin Feng immediately left the official road and took a mountain path towards Dunhua City.

The young Taoist ran all the way back to Chongyang Valley in no time.

"Something terrible has happened!"

"Mr. Lin!"

The young Taoist priest was panting heavily. The atmosphere in Chongyang Valley had been oppressive lately, and the elders were getting a little impatient with the situation.

"Take a breath and tell me slowly what happened?"

After calming his breathing, the young Taoist priest recounted everything that had just happened.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

"What? Someone is specifically targeting and assassinating Mr. Lin?"

Before anyone else could react, Yun Shu took the lead and rushed out of the main hall.

"Master, Elders, I'll go take a look."

Xu Yuanrang's expression was solemn, and he gave the elder next to him a look.

The elder also rushed out immediately, and together with Yun Shu, they rode their swords and sped towards the place the young Taoist had mentioned.

Flying on their swords at incredible speed, they arrived at the ambush site in less than a quarter of an hour.

By this time, the blood had dried, and only a corpse burned to ashes remained beside it.

"Mr. Lin..."

Since the body was unrecognizable, Yun Shu almost instinctively assumed that it must be Lin Feng who had died, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
