The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

Currently, Cui Yi has not encountered any demonic beasts at the Core Formation stage.

Of course, even if he encountered them, he might not be able to kill them easily.

Cui Yi was quite self-aware; he would rather kill a hundred late-stage or even peak Foundation Establishment realm demonic beasts than provoke a Core Formation realm demonic beast.

The life-saving jade talisman that Xi Yue gave him was all he had left. If he wasted it, he would have no choice but to run away if he encountered danger in the future.

Now that he's at least the number one person below the Core Formation Realm, isn't it better for him to stay in his comfort zone?

Fortunately, there are indeed enough monsters on the outskirts of the northern border!

Perhaps it's because of the proximity to the barrier rift, or perhaps it's because of the unique ecological environment here, the frequency of monster breeding and activity is extremely high.

Over the course of several days, he had killed nearly a hundred low-level demonic beasts, and the various demonic beast materials he had obtained filled most of his storage ring. The vitality feedback from the Floating Pagoda after refining it had also reached twenty years.

However, for the lifespan that Cui Yi needs, twenty years is far from enough.

He can't even fuse martial arts techniques once; the martial arts techniques he stole from Cao Xiong are still waiting for him to fuse.

"It's about time we went deeper..."

Cui Yi finally turned his attention to the depths of the Northern Wilderness. The proportion of Qi Refining Realm demonic beasts on the outskirts was too high, their value was too low, and the time cost was too high.

The warm-up days should be over now; the real action is about to begin!

But before Cui Yi could go too far, his movements suddenly paused slightly.

At the edge of his consciousness, three auras were actually following him as he moved!

Roughly calculated, these three auras had been following him for almost half a day.

Moreover, the opponent's concealment skills were quite good, and they always maintained a relatively long distance.

If it weren't for Cui Yi's mental power, which extends his perception far beyond those of others of the same level, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it.

Cui Yi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was sneering.

He had previously thought it was just a coincidence, since so many people came to the Northern Territory for training, it was normal to encounter some cultivators.

But the actions of these three people clearly indicate that they are following him!

Presumably, seeing him hunting monsters alone for days without any companions to help him, they were tempted by greed.

Murder and robbery are nothing new in the world of cultivation.

Moreover, this is in the uncontrolled northern region.

But this murderous and thieving scheme actually came to him?

Really looking for death!

"Aren't you tired after following me for so long?"

Cui Yi stopped and turned to look in the direction where the three were hiding.

"Fellow Daoist is quite vigilant."

The three figures flashed and formed a triangle, surrounding Cui Yi in the center.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a scarred face and a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level. To his left was a short, thin man, and to his right was a scholar-like man.

The scarred middle-aged man grinned, revealing yellowed teeth. "Since you've noticed, then it's simple."

"I see that you have killed quite a few demonic beasts in half a day, fellow Daoist. My two brothers and I are short of money lately and would like to borrow some demonic beast materials from you to exchange for some spirit stones."

"What do you think, my friend?"

"Fellow Daoist's aura is only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and the three of us are also at the late Foundation Establishment stage."

"If we were to actually fight, you wouldn't gain any advantage, fellow Daoist."

Cui Yi glanced at the three of them and couldn't help but sneer.

Late stage of Foundation Establishment?

It seems that my aura was too restrained, which allowed these three unlucky rivals to get away with it.

However, this is for the best.

A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who has committed numerous evil deeds is a great tonic for me!

What if I say no?

With a flick of his right hand, Cui Yi summoned Qieman, which made a crisp clanging sound.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

"superior!"

Before he finished speaking, the short, thin man sprang out like a ghost, pulling out two gleaming daggers from who-knows-where and attacking!

At the same time, the scholar-like man raised his hand, flicking three talismans between his fingertips.

The talisman transformed into three raging fire snakes under the burning of true energy, instantly blocking Cui Yi's retreat!

The scarred middle-aged man stood firmly in place, a heavy black sword in his hand, its blade swirling with true energy, his aura growing lighter and lighter, as if he were gathering power for some powerful martial technique.

The three worked together seamlessly, and their familiarity with each other suggested that this wasn't their first time committing such a robbery and murder.

A cold glint flashed in Cui Yi's eyes, and his true energy instantly emanated outwards, an invisible force surging forth like a tide!

Before the three fire snakes formed from the talismans could even get close, they all went out with a whoosh, leaving only a few wisps of green smoke.

"What?!"

The scholar-like man's expression changed. Although his Flaming Serpent Talisman was not top-tier, it was still enough to threaten ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, yet it was broken so easily by the other party.

The short, thin man was terrified and tried to retreat after his attack failed!

However, Cui Yi was much faster than him!

Wait a minute, the true energy in the air is flowing rapidly, and there are faint signs that it will form a vortex!

This is a new killing move that Cui Yi honed in battle!

Using the mental techniques of the Mountain and Sea Collapse Cloud Fist, he forcibly vibrated his true energy and attached it to all the weapons he could use!

This sword strike may seem ordinary, but it contains the triple force of the Mountain and Sea Collapse Cloud Fist!

"puff--!"

With a single thrust of his sword, he clashed violently with the short, thin cultivator's twin daggers!

In that instant, the short, thin cultivator felt an immense, irresistible force on his arm, and his entire body was sent flying with a bang!

It was as if what had just clashed with the twin daggers wasn't a longsword, but a massive truck weighing hundreds of tons!

The other two watched helplessly as the short, thin man crashed into more than a dozen trees like a cannonball before finally stopping!

Because of the immense impact, the short, thin man coughed up blood and lost the ability to fight any longer!

The middle-aged man with the scarred face suddenly felt his pupils shrink, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!

The power of this attack completely exceeded his expectations of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Let alone the late Foundation Establishment stage, even the peak Foundation Establishment stage or the early Core Formation stage is nothing more than this!

He then realized that he might have kicked an unimaginable iron plate.

"This idea is tricky!"

"Let's all go at it together! Old Xu, don't worry about your broken talisman!"

The scarred middle-aged man roared, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, and his true energy surged through the black heavy sword in his hand!

He poured all his strength into that attack!

This child must not be allowed to live!

The massive sword was swung out, and a sword aura that shot into the sky slashed down towards Cui Yi!

Knowing that he was facing a life-or-death situation, the scholar gritted his teeth and flicked his wrist, causing seven or eight more talismans of various colors to fly out of his storage ring!

Wind blades, ice spikes, and earth spikes clashed and attacked Cui Yi again. At the same time, he also summoned a small emerald ruler, which turned into a green light and struck Cui Yi in the back.

A pincer attack from both sides, and the trump card of two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators—Cui Yi's previously nonchalant eyes finally flashed with a hint of seriousness.

call......

His killings these past few days have not only taught him how to use the Mountain and Sea Collapse Cloud Fist for other purposes, but his use of telekinesis has also become much more refined and masterful compared to his previous rudimentary skills!

Cui Yi did not dodge, but slowly raised his right hand and spread his five fingers!

Then, he suddenly clenched his fist!
