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

The courtyard gate was tightly closed, and there were no lights inside the house.

Cui Yi assumed that Xu Yunyan and Tang'er had fallen asleep because they were tired, or perhaps to save fuel, and didn't think much of it.

However, just as Cui Yi's fingers were about to touch the door, an extremely faint fluctuation of true energy came from behind the door!

Cui Yi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his hand that was pushing the door stopped instantly!

All the muscles in his body tensed instinctively, and the surging true energy in his body flowed silently to his limbs and bones. His keen senses, which were at the peak of Qi Refining, were fully activated!

But it was too late.

Or rather, the cultivation level and concealment skills of the people inside the sect seemed to be quite remarkable, and he only noticed them when he approached them without any precautions.

The other party clearly sensed his arrival as well.

"Squeak—"

Before Cui Yi could react further, the courtyard gate was slowly pulled open from the inside.

Inside the gate, the dim moonlight barely illuminated the courtyard.

Xu Yunyan and Tang'er were tied together with their hands behind their backs and slumped onto the cold ground. In front of them stood two young men in brocade robes, looking at them with a half-smile.

More importantly, their aura of true energy gave Cui Yi a faint sense of familiarity...

In that instant, Cui Yi immediately realized the source of this sense of familiarity!

They practice the same cultivation method!

That is the Qi-guiding technique passed down through the Cui family!

"Young Master! Don't worry about us, run!"

"Yi'er, run! They are all immortal masters!"

Tang'er and Xu Yunyan spoke almost simultaneously, but their voices were immediately stopped by a force as soon as they came out of their throats, leaving only muffled sounds.

"You're Cui Yi?"

The cold-looking young man on the left raised his eyelids, his gaze piercing Cui Yi, who was standing at the door, like an icicle.

"I never expected you to actually come back alive from Black Wind Ridge."

"It seems that the rumors about you getting some minor opportunities are not entirely unfounded."

The young man beside him, arms crossed, scoffed impatiently, "Cui Ji, why waste words with him? He's just a useless member of a collateral branch who barely survived. A soul search or making him swear an oath by his inner demons will reveal everything, won't it?"

Cui Yi's face instantly darkened.

If he wasn't mistaken, the two people in front of him should be members of the Cui clan.

He just hadn't expected that the Cui clan would arrive so quickly!

and......

They only sent two people at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Are they looking down on him?

However, this is for the best.

Cui Yi sneered, "You two are new here and yet you act like this. It seems you're disregarding the bonds of kinship today."

"Kid, don't try to play the family card with us."

"Your lineage are traitors who left the clan. The fact that you have been allowed to live for so many years is entirely due to the sake of your ancestors and the grace of the clan."

"Now that only one person remains in your lineage, it's time for the clan to clean house."

After saying that, the aura of the young man named Cui Ji suddenly changed, and the true energy that was spreading everywhere stirred up a gust of wind!

Meanwhile, another young man, who had been keeping his arms crossed, also unleashed his strongest aura!

Cui Yi said no more. At this moment, the powerful true qi of the peak Qi Refining stage in his body erupted suddenly like a dormant volcano!

boom!

An aura far more powerful and refined than the two clan members had imagined erupted from Cui Yi without reservation!

The pressure from the peak Qi Refining stage was like a tangible hammer slamming into the two people opposite them!

"Peak Qi Refining stage?!"

Cui Ji's cold and stern expression changed drastically, and his indifferent arrogance, which he had maintained, shattered instantly!

Instead, there was unbelievable horror!

According to the intelligence he received, Cui Yi had at most just entered the Qi Refining stage; how could he have jumped to the peak of Qi Refining?!

This completely overturned his understanding!

The young man next to him, who had his arms crossed, also had his pupils shrink sharply and subconsciously took a half step back.

Just as the two were in a state of shock, Cui Yi made a move!

Still as a virgin, swift as thunder!

These two were born into a clan and had seen countless cultivators every day, let alone someone who was only at the peak of Qi Refining!

"Kid, I'll show you that having a higher cultivation level alone won't make you invincible!"

"Martial arts techniques and cultivation methods are the foundation of cultivation!"

"The techniques and martial arts cultivated by you collateral branches are nothing more than fragments that have been abridged from the complete version!"

"Demon-Subduing Technique, Lock the Demon!"

Cui Ji gave a low shout and took the lead in launching an attack.

He clenched his hands into claws, his fingertips releasing true energy that transformed into invisible energy locks, carrying a sharp and imposing aura as he grabbed Cui Yi's shoulders and chest!

A cold glint flashed in Cui Yi's eyes. Without dodging or avoiding, he met the attack with his own palm!

"Bang!"

The two palms collided solidly, producing a dull thud!

Cui Ji's sinister smile froze instantly, then transformed into extreme horror and pain!

He felt that the opponent's palm force seemed to be slightly superior at the first contact, but then an extremely strange and terrifying force, one stronger than the next, suddenly erupted like an undercurrent in the ocean!

The first layer of force had already made his arms numb, and the second layer of force that followed was even more overwhelming and crushing!

*Snap!*

A slight cracking sound came from Cui Ji's arm.

"puff--!"

Cui Ji felt a sweet taste in his throat, and blood gushed out. He was thrown off the ground like a bull charging into him, and crashed heavily into the courtyard wall several feet away!

The impact produced a deafening roar, and the wall caved in!

In the blink of an eye, Cui Yi's figure flashed behind Cui Ran like a ghost.

"The Demon-Subduing Technique is not used like this."

The Three Subduing Demons Techniques: Tiger Subduing Technique!

fast!

quasi!

ruthless!

Extremely concise, yet incomparably sharp!

Cui Ran was shocked and hurriedly raised his arm to try to block, but Cui Yi's move of turning his finger into a sword slammed hard into his slender arm!

Click!

Another sound of bones breaking rang out!

"ah!!!!"

Although Cui Ran's body did not fly backward, he staggered and knelt on the ground due to the intense pain, his two arms hanging limply, clearly broken!

He looked up, his eyes filled with horror!

How could this kid possibly... how could he defeat him and Cui Ji with just a few moves!

Although the two of them were considered mediocre among the younger generation of the clan, they were still far superior to Cui Yi, a country bumpkin with no cultivation resources!

What terrified him most was that the martial arts technique Cui Yi used was only the first move of the Demon Subduing Style!

The complete Demon-Subduing Technique of the clan can have as many as six moves!

Seeing the panicked look in the other party's eyes, Cui Yi sneered: "I didn't expect the people sent by the clan to be of such low quality. It's really disappointing."

After speaking, he slowly took the long sword that was tied to his back. The cold blade shimmered with moonlight, which added a lot of murderous aura to it!

"Since you have targeted my family, this matter is destined to end badly."

"Gentlemen, let's get ready to go."

hum!

The moment the true energy was poured into the longsword, the blade trembled violently!

Just as the sword was about to sever Cui Ran's throat, an even more powerful surge of true energy suddenly descended!

"That's enough!"
