Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan ate the grilled fish bite by bite.

Both of them seemed somewhat silent.

This wasn't because Xu Ming had seen Wu Yanhan's body and was worried about being discovered by her.

Nor was it because Wu Yanhan felt that Xu Ming might have seen something he shouldn't have.

But because they were both worried about Xiong Hai Zhi and the others.

Could Xiong Hai Zhi really escape the pursuit of that hopping zombie with two other people?

After Xu Ming woke up, a string of words popped up in his mind again:

【You killed the fourth-order magic beast Thunderstorm Bear, Strength +100, Blood Qi +100, Intimidation +5,

Blood Qi Berserk (Beginner) evolved.

You have learned Blood Qi Berserk (Intermediate)

Blood Qi Berserk (Intermediate): Allows you to break through your physical limits for one minute, with the side effect of falling into a day and night of coma.

Gained a new ability - Thunder Fist.】

【Thunder Fist: Passive skill, when you punch, there is a 1% chance to trigger the power of thunder.】

Xu Ming didn't expect to be rewarded so much for killing a fourth-order magic beast.

But that was also true, if it weren't for his teammates helping him grind down the Thunderstorm Bear's health, if it weren't for Wu Yanhan and Guang Yin restraining the opponent, if he had relied solely on himself to fight the Thunderstorm Bear one-on-one, he probably would have had a hard time winning.

So, killing the Thunderstorm Bear was actually far beyond his ability, he just picked up a kill.

But "1% chance to trigger the power of thunder", isn't that a bit outrageous?

Just as Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan finished eating and stood up, ready to move forward, Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan's minds focused, and they jumped away at the same time.

Two ice cones pierced the spot where Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan had just been standing.

"Cough cough cough," a man stepped through the air, smiling, "The two of you really made me search for you."

The man slowly landed, cupping his hands in a salute: "A day has passed, and I haven't told you two young friends my name, it's quite rude of me, I am Shen Sheng."

"The nearby villages of Xinping County have been attacked by magic beasts, was that all your doing?" Xu Ming stared straight into Shen Sheng's eyes.

"Yes." Shen Sheng nodded.

"Shen Sheng..." Wu Yanhan muttered the name, looking at the jade pendant on his waist and the spotless white Confucian robe he was wearing, "You are Shen Sheng, ranked fiftieth on the Azure Cloud List?"

Shen Sheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "I didn't expect my little bit of fame to be recognized."

"Why are you doing this?" Wu Yanhan asked, "As far as I know, the Cold Gentleman - Shen Sheng, is a cultivator who punishes evil and promotes good, and has a good reputation."

Hearing Wu Yanhan say this, Xu Ming was also a little curious.

A Azure Cloud List genius with a good reputation would actually do such a conscienceless thing, which was indeed surprising.

Shen Sheng just shook his head: "You two don't need to know, tonight, please sleep here forever, I will let you die without pain."

Shen Sheng's words sounded a bit arrogant, but his tone carried a hint of pity.

Just as Shen Sheng finished speaking, Wu Yanhan and Xu Ming had already rushed forward.

They chose to fight Shen Sheng at the same time.

Even though the opponent was a genius ranked fiftieth on the Azure Cloud List, definitely not ordinary compared to the usual Ocean Gazing Realm.

Even though their side's combat power was only at sixty to seventy percent of their peak.

But Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan believed that the two of them together could definitely win.

With each step Wu Yanhan took forward, Xu Ming felt the surrounding ground tremble slightly, and the collapse under Wu Yanhan's feet became deeper with each step.

Xu Ming often went to the Fist Technique Pavilion, but he had never seen this kind of footwork.

"Pa!"

Wu Yanhan's long leg swung towards Shen Sheng's head.

Shen Sheng's head was shattered by Wu Yanhan's kick, but unfortunately, what splattered was not blood, but specks of ice.

The original Shen Sheng turned into an ice sculpture.

Shen Sheng didn't know when he appeared behind Wu Yanhan, holding an ice dagger in his hand, and stabbed towards Wu Yanhan's heart.

But Xu Ming also pierced through Shen Sheng's chest with a kick.

Unfortunately, this was still an ice sculpture substitute.

Shen Sheng was still flying in the air, pinching his fingers to form a magic seal, and then pressing his palm down, hundreds of ice hammers pierced towards the two of them like a torrential rain.

Wu Yanhan delivered a punch, and the martial artist's true energy turned into a white giant dragon, scattering the hundreds of ice cones.

Xu Ming jumped up and quickly tried to close the ten-meter distance, seizing an absolute advantage.

But Shen Sheng was not a fool.

Shen Sheng threw out two iron balls.

The previous iron ball transformed into an iron wall.

And these two iron balls transformed into an iron chain, binding towards Xu Ming.

Just as one iron chain was about to bind Xu Ming's right foot, Wu Yanhan struck with a gust of fist wind, shaking the two iron chains away.

"Just keep moving forward!" Wu Yanhan shouted.

Xu Ming understood her meaning, no longer distracted, and tried to get close like a cannonball.

One spell after another smashed towards Xu Ming, but they were all resolved by Wu Yanhan.

What Wu Yanhan had to do was to send a terrifying Quicksilver Mirror cultivator in front of an Ocean Gazing Realm cultivator!

Ten meters.

Nine meters.

Six meters.

Three meters.

Two meters.

Xu Ming came in front of Shen Sheng.

Blood Qi and martial artist's astral energy shook from the soles of Xu Ming's feet, like ripples on the lake.

"What a strong Quicksilver Mirror..."

Shen Sheng sighed with emotion, as if admiring an extremely perfect work of art.

"Xu Ming!!! Dodge!!!"

Xu Ming had already raised his fist, about to completely smash his head.

But this time, it was Wu Yanhan who shouted at Xu Ming.

Wu Yanhan rushed towards Xu Ming.

But it was already too late.

With Shen Sheng as the center, within a radius of ten meters, eight array flags rose from the ground.

The array flags formed a barrier, trapping Shen Sheng and Xu Ming within it. Within the barrier, mist filled the air, and nothing could be seen inside.

"Let him go!"

"Let him go!"

Wu Yanhan tried to shatter the barrier with one punch after another, but to no avail.

In the barrier, Xu Ming looked at Shen Sheng not far away: "Do you know what it means for a Qi Refiner to be ten meters away from a martial artist?"

"I know, cough cough cough," Shen Sheng coughed a few times, "But young friend, I am no longer human."

As Shen Sheng's last heartfelt words landed, his body began to swell continuously, and his figure became larger and larger.

From his back, a pair of bone wings grew out, two long sharp horns emerged from his forehead, his palms turned into sharp claws, his feet were like tiger claws, and his face became more and more hideous, like a gargoyle.

"Young friend, live on."

As Shen Sheng's last heartfelt words landed, his eyes turned into a void, and his consciousness completely fell.

【Alas, I want to speed up the rhythm, but speeding up feels too rushed. In short, there are too few updates, but there are too many things to do recently.

After this period of time, I will update more! Write more.

Slow burn has to be built up with updates.】
