I Am Immortal, Join The Chat Group For Cultivating Immortals

Chen Changsheng sat in the quiet carriage and quietly took out a storage ring from his sleeve. Inside the ring were many alchemy ingredients, along with a copy of Zhuang Zongzheng's alchemy experience.

He also bought an alchemy furnace and two secret manuals with three thousand points.

One was the "Shadow Step," a technique that produced illusions when moving, making it difficult for others to discern reality from illusion. When mastered to the extreme, one's figure would disappear like a void, leaving no trace.

The other was the "Swift Thunder Sword," which was specifically meant to compensate for Chen Changsheng's shortcomings in swordsmanship. He could use his sword to kill enemies, but lacked proper sword techniques, only knowing basic horizontal slashes. This disadvantage would become particularly apparent when facing strong opponents. The Swift Thunder Sword focused on swift killing, launching powerful attacks like thunderbolts. It could also complement Chen Changsheng's Blood God Thunder Law Manifestation.

After this round of spending, Chen Changsheng still had several hundred points left as a reserve.

In fact, he could have purchased the storage ring and alchemy furnace from other members of the group, but he was worried that they would leave behind imprints, especially in the storage ring, where imprints or remnants were most likely to be hidden.

So buying them from the store was a bit of a loss, but Chen Changsheng had no regrets. At least he could use them with peace of mind.

With nothing else to do, Chen Changsheng silently flipped through the secret manuals.

Outside the carriage, the sky grew dark, and it gradually started to rain heavily. The raindrops hit the roof of the carriage, making a crisp sound like falling jade beads.

Wang Jiayun lit a dim oil lamp, adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to the carriage.

Unknowingly, listening to the sound of the rain outside, Honglin, who was in Chen Changsheng's embrace, fell asleep as well.

Wang Jiayun felt exhausted and, under the strong fatigue, leaned her head on Chen Changsheng's shoulder and fell into a drowsy sleep.

At this moment, the mother and daughter both looked extremely fragile and haggard.

Inside the carriage, only the faint sound of Chen Changsheng flipping through the pages of the book could be heard.

Outside, Zong Hong, who was driving the carriage, activated his qi and blood to resist the cold and damp cold wind.

The azure sky was covered by dark clouds, and the dirt on the official road was soaked by the rain. Zong Hong had to slow down the speed of the carriage to prevent the horses from slipping due to running too fast.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Changsheng, who was reading the secret manuals, suddenly felt a slight movement in his eyes. He lifted a curtain and whispered to Zong Hong, "There's movement, be alert to your surroundings."

Zong Hong was startled, and his hand instinctively grabbed the longbow behind him as his astonishing gaze swept in all directions.

Vaguely, several figures could be seen moving swiftly in the dark woods.

"They're so fast! Did they chase us all the way from behind?"

"No, they were lying in ambush in advance."

Chen Changsheng steadied his sword case with one hand and said coldly, "The black market bounty spreads through carrier pigeons. These people are all bounty hunters."

"Senior brother, it seems like there are quite a few of them!"

"Don't worry, just focus on driving the carriage and don't overturn it. Leave the rest to me."

Chen Changsheng's calm tone gave people a sense of security.

Zong Hong calmed down as well. With Chen Changsheng's words, he completely relaxed and put down the bow and arrow in his hand, focusing on driving the carriage forward.

Clatter!

The rain kept pouring, and countless figures intertwined and overlapped in the dark woods, with icy killing intent condensing in the darkness.

Suddenly, a cold light shot out from the woods.

A masked figure held a long spear, and the killing intent instantly locked onto the carriage driver, Zong Hong.

At the same time, a sharp sword flew out from the carriage and accurately intercepted the spear's trajectory.

Clang!

The clash of sword and spear created a violent and oppressive aura.

At that moment, the rain washed over, and the jolting of the carriage woke up the three women who were still in their dreams.

Chen Changsheng lightly tapped the sword sheath with his palm, and another sharp flying sword swiftly shot out, like a celestial being from the heavens, leaving behind a trail of blood in an instant!

In that moment, the head flew off, and the headless body holding the spear fell to the muddy ground with a thud, only to be mercilessly crushed by the wheels.

The attacker was instantly killed by the flying sword, shocking all the hidden bounty hunters.

Due to the fast speed of the flying sword, coupled with the dark and rainy weather, they couldn't see the process of the fight clearly.

After exchanging glances, a group of bounty hunters immediately rushed out from all directions, dragging more than ten shadows in the pouring rain.

Chen Changsheng closed his eyes, sensing everything around him with his divine sense.

At the moment the bounty hunters moved, the two flying swords, like assassins in the dark night, swept across with an elusive speed, slashing out fan-shaped sword energy on both sides of the carriage.

The continuous downpour was cut into layers, and the splashing rainwater shot out like countless arrows.

Crash!

In an instant, the cold light of the sword energy ravaged through, blades and swords shattered, and the crimson blood merged with the rainwater.

The pupils of more than ten bounty hunters contracted, feeling a piercing pain in their chilling necks, and in mid-air, they turned into headless bodies, falling to the ground!

The smell of blood filled the air, and the fresh bloodstains were washed away by the rain.

Zong Hong's face was filled with shock and excitement. He drove the carriage galloping through the rain-soaked ground, leaving behind more than ten headless bodies and broken weapons on the ground.

It was just a brief exchange, using only two flying swords, effortlessly taking the lives of all the bounty hunters!

This is the power of cultivators!

Even with only the first level of Qi Refining cultivation, it can create a crushing situation.

The sharp swords flying through the air are natural killers in the dark and rainy weather.

Who would have thought that there would be a cultivator guarding the carriage? And who would have expected that the cold light passing through the rain was actually two flying swords wrapped in True Qi, flying at an unimaginable speed, making it impossible to avoid.

Chen Changsheng played with speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, not giving the opponent any time to react or think, beheading with extreme speed.

Once the opponent reacts, it is difficult to create another opportunity for a fatal blow, which would lead to many variables.

"Assassins are here!?"

Red Lin, who was awakened by the jolting, shouted lowly, gripping the long whip at her waist, ready to break the window and confront the enemy.

With a click, the two flying swords flew back into the sheath from outside.

Chen Changsheng said calmly, "No, it's already over."

"What?" Red Lin was a bit confused. She glanced out the window and vaguely saw a few traces of blood and fallen figures in the rain.

From the moment she was awakened to holding her weapon, it was only a few moments.

The assassins were killed just like that?

"There were assassins just now? They were dealt with so quickly? Amazing!"

Wang Jiayun's mouth formed an "O" shape, subconsciously wanting to look out the window to check.

At the critical moment, she was pulled back by her mother, avoiding being drenched like a drowned rat.

Wang Jiayun took a deep breath, a faint smile appearing on her delicate face. "Indeed, it was the right choice to have Chen Gongzi escort us. Even the strongest bodyguards in the city wouldn't be able to eliminate assassins so swiftly."

"It was just luck."

Chen Changsheng's gaze seemed distant as he softly said, "There are no inns to stop at tonight. Just eat some dry rations and continue sleeping. I'll be here to watch over, so nothing will happen."

"Thank you for your trouble, Chen Gongzi."

Wang Jiayun nodded with a smile.

Speaking of sleeping, she remembered that when she was just awakened, she was leaning on Chen Changsheng's shoulder.

Suddenly feeling a bit guilty, she lowered her head, lightly gripping her long legs, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.
