Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"Hmph!" Seeing the almost insane expressions on these people's faces, Chen Tian snorted coldly, then ignored them. His expression hardened, and he gripped the Red Phoenix Sword, sweeping it towards them.

A dazzling red light soared into the sky, rushing towards He Yutang and the others with an extremely fierce momentum.

Knowing that the Red Phoenix Sword was a top-grade spiritual treasure, the group dared not underestimate it and hurriedly activated several defensive magic weapons.

At this moment, the red light had already reached them. He Yutang and the others frantically poured spiritual power into their defenses, preparing to withstand the impact.

"Tzz..." An unbelievable scene unfolded. Despite the red light's fierce and all-consuming appearance, it suddenly dissipated just as it reached them, emitting only a very faint sound.

Faced with this scene, He Yutang and the others were dumbfounded. When they deactivated their defensive magic weapons and looked at Chen Tian again, they discovered that he had already escaped hundreds of miles away.

"Damn it, we've been tricked by this kid! Let's chase him!"

He Yutang finally realized what had happened. He had been wondering how Chen Tian had the confidence to fight five of them alone.

It turned out that this guy had never intended to fight head-on. Instead, he had put on a show of strength before choosing to escape.

Having figured this out, He Yutang and the others were both angry and annoyed. Without hesitation, they transformed into five streaks of light and chased after Chen Tian.

Five hundred miles away, Chen Tian's lips curled into a sneer when he noticed He Yutang and the others catching up.

Of course, it wasn't because he was afraid of them. Chen Tian was confident that if he fought with all his strength, he would still have a chance of winning. The reason he was running was simply because he didn't want to fight above that mountain range with abundant spiritual energy.

Chen Tian had already chosen that place as his secluded cultivation spot, so he didn't want to reveal it to these people. He wanted to lure He Yutang and the others far away before dealing with them.

… … … … … … … …

In a situation of chasing and fleeing, Chen Tian ran for two days and two nights. During this time, He Yutang and the others launched several attacks on Chen Tian, but Chen Tian always avoided them, resisting slightly before continuing to flee.

Chen Tian's actions completely enraged He Yutang and the others. They vowed that after catching Chen Tian, they would definitely flay him alive.

After flying for another three hours, on this day at dusk, Chen Tian finally stopped on a sandy beach.

Two days and two nights of rapid flight had exhausted even He Yutang and the others, who had already reached the Spirit Guiding stage. Just when they were about to reach their limit, they suddenly discovered that Chen Tian had finally stopped.

Seeing this, He Yutang and the others were overjoyed and hurriedly landed, panting heavily on the sandy beach.

However, unlike their disheveled appearance, Chen Tian was calm and composed, looking as if nothing had happened.

This surprised He Yutang and the others. They exchanged glances, and they all saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes.

"Ah!"

But at this moment, a painful scream suddenly rang out. Everyone was shocked and hurriedly turned their heads to look.

They saw the burliest man among the five lying motionless on the ground. A red sword was stuck in his back—it was the Red Phoenix Sword!

It turned out that Chen Tian had secretly ambushed the Red Phoenix Sword under the sand dune before landing.

Because the Red Phoenix Sword was a top-grade spiritual treasure, it could achieve a telepathic connection with its user. Therefore, Chen Tian had taken them by surprise and suddenly directed the Red Phoenix Sword to sneak attack the burly man.

With the death of this burly man, the mist that had been shrouding him gradually dissipated, revealing his appearance.

This burly man looked quite peculiar. His body was human, but his head was that of a wolf. He not only had two beast ears but also a pair of sharp fangs.

"Eh!"

Looking at the burly man's peculiar appearance, Chen Tian thought of something and took out the jade slip that Shi Changgeng had given him earlier.

After searching for a while, Chen Tian finally found the portrait of this strong man inside. There was also a line of small characters written below: "Xie Lang, a disciple of the Beast Profound Sect, fused with a seventh-order demon wolf to become a half-human, half-demon being. He lurks around Qizhuang Market, is violent, and has killed countless people!"

After seeing this information, Chen Tian finally confirmed that these people were indeed the evil bandits that Shi Changgeng had mentioned, who were mixed in around Qizhuang Market, engaging in murder and robbery.

As for why there was no information about He Yutang above, it might be because he had only recently arrived, and Shi Changgeng had not seen him before.

Chen Tian glanced at the remaining three figures shrouded in mist around Shi Changgeng, and his gaze instantly turned cold. If he guessed correctly, then these people might also be the villains recorded on the jade slip!

Thinking of this, Chen Tian snorted coldly, then with a wave of his hand, he retrieved the Red Phoenix Sword stuck in Xie Lang's body, and then rushed towards them again.

Having witnessed the power of the Red Phoenix Sword, He Yutang and the others' scalps began to tingle. But there was no choice; if they didn't resist at this time, then they would really be sitting ducks.

Thinking this, the four of them shouted loudly and took out their magic weapons to meet Chen Tian.

He Yutang used a bronze mirror, which would emit a misty blue light after being infused with spiritual power. When shone on a person, it would slow down their movements.

The other three used uniform longswords, and only the sun, moon, and stars were painted on the sword bodies, respectively, indicating that they were used as a set.

As soon as the battle began, the three men wielding longswords first attacked Chen Tian, while He Yutang hid in the distance, using the strange bronze mirror in his hand to shine on Chen Tian from time to time.

They had obviously cooperated many times, so they fought very tacitly, creating considerable pressure on Chen Tian.

Chen Tian originally wanted to annihilate them all, but after fighting fiercely for a while, Chen Tian realized that this idea was too hasty.

If Chen Tian's cultivation was at the Spirit Gathering stage at this time, then needless to say, he could easily crush them. But unfortunately, Chen Tian is still only at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Guiding stage. Although it is only half a step away from the Spirit Gathering stage, there is still a world of difference in essence.

Therefore, after fighting for two hours, the two sides were still inextricably linked.

At this time, Chen Tian began to have the intention of retreating, because he felt that there was no need to waste time here. After all, he had already accumulated enough demonic and妖气, and it was serious business to retreat as soon as possible.

It's just that He Yutang and the others looked very angry after seeing Chen Tian kill Xie Lang, looking like they would never give up.

This made Chen Tian a little embarrassed. How should he retreat?

After thinking hard in his mind for a while, suddenly, a plan surfaced in his mind!
