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

Lin Feng suddenly turned his head and saw Shen Zhao leading a group of cultivators charging toward him with murderous intent amidst a burst of blue light.

Realizing he had fallen into an ambush, Lin Feng didn't have time to think and immediately tried to use the same trick again, employing the Spirit Escape Technique.

"It's best to leave first!"

Lin Feng stopped making hand seals, mobilized his spiritual power, and used the Spirit Escape technique at top speed. He felt his body lighten, and his vision blurred for a moment and then quickly became clear again.

"call!"

Knowing that he couldn't shake off Shen Zhao with one Spirit Escape, Lin Feng took a deep breath and was about to use it again when he suddenly realized an extremely embarrassing reality.

Why aren't you moving?

"this?"

Lin Feng looked around in surprise and found that after using his Spirit Escape technique, he had only managed to escape to a short distance, while Shen Zhao had already rushed up to him.

"Old man, do you think I'd let you use the same trick a second time?"

Shen Zhao waved his hand, and a group of cultivators immediately surrounded him.

Although these cultivators generally did not have high cultivation levels, the arrays they formed using talismans in a specific way were far more powerful than their original cultivation levels.

As they approached, the blue light gradually narrowed, slowly forming a radius of several dozen feet around Lin Feng.

"Old man, this formation was specifically prepared for you. Even if you exhaust all your spiritual energy today, you still won't be able to escape!"

As Lin Feng watched the gradually narrowing blue light, his expression grew increasingly gloomy.

It seems there's no way to escape now.

Fight? Lin Feng's cultivation level doesn't give him an advantage either.

Moreover, Lin Feng has only practiced some basic skills so far, and has not learned any combat techniques.

Let alone Shen Zhao, even when facing these ordinary Qi Refining cultivators around him, Lin Feng probably wouldn't gain any advantage.

Just as Lin Feng was at a loss, caught in a dilemma, the little auspicious beast in his storage bag suddenly became restless.

"Eeya!"

The little guy's voice was still childish, but it clearly carried a hint of murderous intent.

Lin Feng sensed this, but he didn't know why the little guy was like this.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Eeya!"

Seeing that Lin Feng was not opening the storage bag, the little auspicious beast began to ram into it from inside.

Lin Feng had no choice but to open the storage bag, knowing that he couldn't hide it any longer if he let the little guy cause trouble.

A flash of white light appeared, and the little guy rushed out, circled around Lin Feng for a moment, and then grinned at Shen Zhao.

"roar!"

The whimpering gradually turned into a low growl.

Seeing the little guy suddenly rush out, Shen Zhao and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.

"Ha ha!"

"I never expected to have such an unexpected gain today."

He looked at Lin Feng, his joy and pride evident in his expression.

"No wonder you old codger can absorb the power of Yin spirits; it turns out you have a Pixiu (a mythical creature believed to bring wealth and power) by your side!"

brave troops?

Lin Feng glanced at the little guy next to him again, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

He had thought the little guy looked like an auspicious beast from a New Year's painting, but he couldn't remember what kind of auspicious beast it was. Now that Shen Zhao mentioned it, he remembered that it was indeed a Pixiu.

The Pixiu, a mythical creature that only eats and never vomits.

No wonder it bared its teeth and begged for spiritual energy after seeing Lin Feng, only giving away and not taking in.

However, judging from the little Pixiu's appearance, its fluffy face was full of murderous intent. Could it be that it had a conflict with Shen Zhao and the others?

Just as Lin Feng was wondering, Shen Zhao waved his sleeve, and an invisible barrier enveloped the little Pixiu.

"Catching this little Pixiu would be a great achievement!"

The little Pixiu was not to be outdone. It let out a low roar, and its small body turned into a white light. Instead of dodging, it charged towards Shen Zhao.

"roar!"

Shen Zhao's formation collided with the little Pixiu, and with a very slight cracking sound, the formation shattered.

Shen Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

"As expected of a divine beast!"

"Looks like we need to get serious!"

Shen Zhao knew very well that he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and his understanding of formations was not in place. Relying solely on the talismans left by his master, it would be difficult to capture the little Pixiu intact.

Fortunately, the little Pixiu's cultivation level was not high either, only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and it did not have many supernatural powers.

If I give it my all, I should have a chance to win.

Even if the little Pixiu gets hurt, it doesn't matter. As long as we can capture it alive, it will be a great achievement.

Having made up his mind, Shen Zhao decided not to stay behind and suddenly drew his sword.

"Little thing, today my precious sword will see divine blood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhao slashed out with his sword, the sword energy like a rainbow, pointing straight at the little Pixiu.

The little Pixiu was incredibly fast; its tiny body drew a strange arc in mid-air, but instead of dodging, it charged towards Shen Zhao.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, the little Pixiu's short, sharp claws struck Shen Zhao's sword. Sparks flew everywhere. The little Pixiu used the edge of Shen Zhao's sword as a fulcrum to leap up and pounce straight at Shen Zhao's face.

Shen Zhao sneered, as if he had expected this. He did not dodge, but the two cultivators who had been standing next to him suddenly made their move, one on the left and one on the right, their swords clamping the little Pixiu, as if they were about to pierce it through.

Caught between three forces, the little Pixiu was caught in a dilemma and could only barely dodge.

"babble!"

Although the little Pixiu dodged the two sword strikes, it was still injured. After letting out a miserable cry, it quickly landed and retreated.

Seeing that the little Pixiu was injured, Lin Feng became anxious.

"Have you no shame? You're ganging up on a little kid? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"

Shen Zhao snorted disdainfully.

"Get out? Can this little thing talk? As for you? You won't be able to speak anymore either."

"Come on, I'll go catch this little Pixiu, you guys subdue this old bastard!"

Upon receiving the order, the other cultivators placed their talismans in front of their chests, drew their swords, and charged towards Lin Feng in unison.

Although Lin Feng didn't know why the little Pixiu was fighting so desperately, even the little Pixiu was injured. If this old guy Lin Feng were to back down, it would be unreasonable.

Even though their combat strengths were vastly different, Lin Feng could only take out a longsword from his storage bag.

It was the sword of the burly man in black from before.

"I am a born swordsman, but unfortunately, I have never wielded a sword before. Perfect, today I'll use you all to test my skills!"

After saying that, Lin Feng swallowed hard, his heart already filled with the will to die. He drew his sword and charged forward.

The cultivators surrounding Lin Feng sneered and mocked him without any politeness.

"Old man, you call yourself a 'natural sword embryo'? I doubt you can even hold a sword properly!"

Amidst the mockery, the monks swarmed forward.

Although Lin Feng was born with a sword-wielding constitution, he knew absolutely no swordsmanship. He could only learn as he fought, barely managing to resist and retreating step by step.

The little Pixiu was the same; under the combined attack of the three, it soon suffered multiple sword wounds.

Just as Lin Feng and the little Pixiu were about to be defeated, a soft shout suddenly came from afar.

"stop!"
