Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Within these three slashes of saber energy, each contained immense power. Every strike resembled a monstrous wave, crashing down with swift force!

Witnessing such might, the strange man's eyes eerily flashed with a faint red light. Immediately afterward, he let out a howl akin to a ghost crying or a wolf wailing, transforming his body into a sword-like beam to meet the attack head-on.

“Boom… Boom… Boom…”

After a series of explosions, the half-faced man's legs, abdomen, and head were completely shattered, transforming back into deep purple chrysanthemum petals that scattered across the sky.

Looking back at the blood-red saber in Hou Zhen's hand, it seemed to have exhausted all its power. With a “crack,” it shattered instantly, turning into starlight and dissipating into the air.

At the same time, Hou Zhen and the plump old man's expressions changed drastically. They both spat out a mouthful of blood, and their originally fierce auras weakened. They immediately sat down to regulate their breathing and heal, as if they had both suffered severe injuries in the earlier clash!

The chrysanthemum that the plump old man had forcibly captured also gradually faded in color, reverting from deep purple back to golden yellow. However, only one petal remained on it; the rest had been consumed in the previous impact. Then, the golden chrysanthemum slowly floated back to Li Qianyun's side.

However, when the golden chrysanthemum re-entered Li Qianyun's body, the woman's face paled even further, and she fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

This chrysanthemum was Li Qianyun's treasured natal artifact. Now that the chrysanthemum was destroyed, it was equivalent to damage to Li Qianyun's cultivation.

Therefore, acting at this time would be tantamount to seeking his own death.

“Forget it, there's no rush. Let's observe the situation first and then decide.”

After taking another look at Li Qianyun, who was now panting娇喘 incessantly, Chen Tian withdrew his gaze and continued to look at Hou Zhen and the plump old man.

At this moment, Hou Zhen was the first to recover. After standing up, he looked at the plump old man with disdain and said coldly, “I thought you were capable of something, but it turns out you don't even have one percent of our Demon God's power. You dare to compete with our Demon God Sect for treasure with this strength? You're simply overestimating yourself!”

In fact, Hou Zhen had also suffered a great impact in the previous attack. If it weren't for the fact that his demon body was stronger than humans, he would probably have been more severely injured than the plump old man. However, even so, he still pretended to be fine. After mocking the plump old man, he got up and walked toward the jade bed.

Hou Zhen knew that with his strength, he couldn't completely kill the plump old man, so it would be better to seize the jade bed and the corpse first and leave.

“Heh heh, you mere beast, do you really think this old man has no way to deal with you?”

However, just as Hou Zhen took a step, the plump old man struggled to stand up and provoked.

“What did you say?” Hearing the plump old man's provocation, Hou Zhen immediately turned around, spiritual light flashing in his hand, seemingly threatening, “You're injured much more seriously than me, and you still dare to talk big here. Do you believe I'll finish you off right now!”

Indeed, on the surface, the plump old man had suffered much more serious injuries than Hou Zhen in the previous clash, so he was puzzled as to why this person still had the courage to provoke him.

Hou Zhen had already decided not to kill him, which was the biggest concession he could make. However, at this time, the plump old man not only didn't appreciate it, but continued to provoke him with words, which made the killing intent that had just subsided in Hou Zhen's heart burst out again.

“What, you want to fight? Very well, then this old man will send you to the afterlife, so you can see how powerful we humans are!”

Feeling the thick killing intent emanating from Hou Zhen, the plump old man not only didn't panic, but the mockery in his eyes grew even stronger.

Then he waved his hand again, and another spatial rift appeared in front of him.

“Crack crack… crack crack…”

As before, a strange sound came from the spatial rift again.

“Could it be…”

Chen Tian seemed to have thought of something, his brow furrowed, and he stared intently at the spatial rift.

Sure enough, before long, another skeleton walked out from within.

However, this skeleton was not only larger than the previous one, but its color was also much deeper. The previous skeleton was as pure white as jade, but this skeleton had a hint of gray mixed into its white color, showing a gray-white color after experiencing the vicissitudes of life!

“Boy, I'll borrow your blood essence this time!”

Just after the gray-white skeleton appeared, the plump old man turned to He Busi and smiled coldly at him.

He Busi was originally in a state of confusion, but then he knew what the plump old man meant.

At this moment, a terrifying force suddenly attacked him, causing the blood essence in his body to seep out through his pores and flow towards the gray-white skeleton.

A magical phenomenon occurred again. After absorbing He Busi's blood essence, flesh and blood actually began to grow on the gray-white skeleton.

Before long, a handsome middle-aged man with a gloomy expression appeared before everyone.

This was the appearance of the gray-white skeleton before it died.

“Eh!”

However, when Chen Tian clearly saw the appearance of the skeleton after its transformation, a hint of surprise couldn't help but appear in his heart.

Chen Tian vaguely noticed that this person's face was extremely similar to the appearance of the half-faced monster before.

The previous half-faced monster was about twenty years old, with a vigorous and sharp expression! However, this person was in his forties, with a calm face and no longer sharp.

Although the ages were different, Chen Tian could still vaguely recognize that this person and the half-faced monster were the same person! It was just one was in his twenties, and one was in his forties.

The same person, different periods, what exactly was going on? Could it be that this person also had the art of clones?

Faced with such a strange appearance, Chen Tian couldn't help but be astonished!
