Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

Chen Xu felt increasingly uneasy.

Then, as if struck by a thought, his gaze fell upon the long wooden platform that could block divine sense from probing.

The wooden platform was made of ordinary pine wood and was quite unremarkable.

But the fact that it can block divine sense from probing is itself a bit strange.

Just as Chen Xu's gaze fell upon the wooden platform, a chilling voice rang out in the courtyard:

"Hehe...hehehe..."

The laughter was dry and twisted, filled with hatred and a hint of cruel pleasure.

"Boy... you've made me this embarrassed; you should be proud of yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart sank.

At the same time, the spirit pine wood platform suddenly exploded.

Amidst the flying sawdust, a figure in a green robe was revealed inside.

The moment Chen Xu saw the figure clearly, his mind went blank, and he stood there stunned.

"Qingling?!"

Qingling was lying on the ground, wearing a jade hairpin in her hair, her face pale and her eyes vacant.

She looked up at Chen Xu, her voice weak:

"Senior Brother Chen...save me..."

"No...no way..." Chen Xu had a bad feeling, and a strong sense of suffocation quickly came over him.

But then, something even more cruel happened.

Qingling's body exploded into a cloud of blood mist right before Chen Xu's eyes, and the strong smell of blood instantly filled the entire Qingzhu Pavilion.

"Qingling!!!"

Chen Xu's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar.

The jade hairpin fell to the ground, stained with a touch of scarlet.

The blood mist did not dissipate; amidst the violent churning, a middle-aged cultivator with a sinister face quickly took shape.

The facial features of this middle-aged cultivator bore a striking resemblance to Qing Yi's, with about 70% similarity.

This is precisely the rebirth method of the "Spirit Fusion Technique"...

However, due to the drawbacks of the "Spirit Fusion Technique," Qing Yi's cultivation level has now fallen to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Looking at the figure formed from blood mist, a surge of rage exploded from the depths of Chen Xu's soul, almost overwhelming his reason.

His voice trembled and became hoarse: "Why...why?!"

"She's your own granddaughter!!"

Having been reborn, Qingyi stretched his new body and revealed a twisted smile.

Hearing Chen Xu's question, he raised his head and looked at Chen Xu with a hint of sarcasm.

"Granddaughter?" Qing Yi sneered, his tone chilling, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"My decaying body came from my own son."

He paused for a moment, then raised his hand and waved it, donning a black robe.

"I even personally refined my own son, and you ask me why I would kill a granddaughter?"

"Of course, it's for survival! Family? It's just a burden that can be discarded at any time!"

Immediately, his gaze turned incredibly venomous, fixing intently on Chen Xu, his voice filled with madness:

"And... Chen Xu... it was you who killed Ling'er!"

"If you hadn't resisted so stubbornly, ruining my plans first and forcing me to use this last resort, would you still have the nerve to ask me why?!"

"Shut up!!" Chen Xu's eyes were bloodshot, and his killing intent reached its peak.

"You old beast! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, you're worse than a beast!"

"Today, I will ensure your soul is utterly destroyed and you are condemned to eternal damnation!!"

Qing Yi sneered at Chen Xu's murderous intent:

"You, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator? You're courting death!"

As he spoke, Qingyi raised his hand and waved.

In an instant, hundreds of second-tier talismans poured out like a torrential rain, blocking all of Chen Xu's escape routes.

Chen Xu also waved his hand, manipulating hundreds of second-tier talismans to fight back.

Inside the Green Bamboo Pavilion, a burst of spiritual light suddenly appeared, and a violent surge of energy rapidly spread.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Qingyi's face was ashen.

Unexpectedly, the life-saving talisman given to this kid has now become a problem for me.

What surprised him even more was Chen Xu's swift manipulation of the talismans; the talismanic light intertwined into a net, faintly forming a killing talisman array.

Its sophistication seems to surpass even my own?!

"How is this possible?" Qing Yi's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

This young man not only possesses immense wealth and is deeply cunning, but his talent in the art of talismanic arts is also so extraordinary that he must not be allowed to live...

A madness flashed in his eyes as he seized the opportunity and detonated all the talismans simultaneously.

Chen Xu's talisman array only lasted a few breaths before Qing Yi's attack tore a hole in it.

Several bolts of lightning slammed into Chen Xu's body.

The protective aura shattered instantly, and Chen Xu was sent flying backward, coughing up blood. He landed on the ground in a sorry state, covered in blood.

Fortunately, he had cultivated the "Mysterious Bone True Demon Art," although he had not yet mastered the first level.

However, thanks to his powerful recovery ability and physique far exceeding those of others of the same level, he barely managed to withstand the attack.

After Qingyi was reborn using the "Spirit Fusion Technique," his strength actually increased considerably.

Seeing Chen Xu injured, a cruel glint flashed in Qing Yi's eyes. How could he let go of this golden opportunity to kill him?

He charged forward like a ghost, gathering pale blue spiritual energy in his hands, and with a gust of wind, aimed straight at Chen Xu's face.

"This is... a wind spirit root?"

Chen Xu looked at the wind blade with a solemn expression, and quickly activated the Cloud-Stepping Mountain, stepping up behind Qing Yi.

"Afterimage?!" Qing Yi was shocked.

How could I not have noticed at such a close distance?!

But he was, after all, an old monster who had lived for an unknown amount of time and had a wealth of combat experience.

After forcibly stopping his forward momentum, he quickly activated several defensive talismans.

But...it was too late...

Previously, when Chen Xu was in the late stage of Qi Refining, he was able to force Qing Yi to reveal his cultivation level in the jade slip space.

Now that the foundation has been established, even though the various cultivation techniques have not yet caught up with the progress.

But killing Qing Yi wouldn't be difficult; it would just take some effort.

Immediately afterwards, a hand pierced through Qing Yi's chest without warning.

"Uh...cough...!"

Qingyi's sinister smile froze completely, and he lowered his head in disbelief.

The hand, covered in purple poisonous mist, was holding a still-beating heart.

The excruciating pain and the feeling of weakness as life rapidly slipped away overwhelmed him instantly.

Qingyi opened his mouth, but could no longer utter a word.

Chen Xu's icy voice rang out behind him:

"You old beast... I told you, I'd make you be utterly destroyed..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his heart exploded into a bloody mist with a bang.

The light in Qingyi's eyes went out completely, and he fell straight backward.

At this moment, Chen Xu's injuries had completely healed.

He looked at Qingyi lying on the ground, his hatred undiminished.

The Hidden Bitter Sword, suspended beside him, hummed loudly, instantly splitting into hundreds of sharp sword shadows that slashed down wildly.

Chen Xu only stopped when the body had completely turned into a pile of minced meat.

He stood still, raised his hand, and sent the blood-stained jade hairpin into his hand from a distance.

The cold touch and bloodstains made Chen Xu tremble slightly, and for a moment he was somewhat dazed.

He didn't understand why Qing Yi could still use the "Spirit Fusion Technique".

It was that old ghost who kept lying to Qingling that she hadn't mastered it yet...

Or... did they use some even more insidious trick?

"well..."

A low sigh suddenly echoed outside the Qingzhu Pavilion.

Chen Xu turned around abruptly and realized that Wen Tianhe was standing there at some point.

He wore a spotless, light gray Taoist robe, and his refined face revealed no emotion.

He seemed to have been there all along, quietly observing this tragic scene of master and disciple killing each other and blood relatives devouring each other.

Chen Xu suppressed his thoughts and looked at Wen Tianhe warily.

He knew that killing Qing Yi would inevitably attract Wen Tianhe's attention.

Moreover... he was also very curious about Wen Tianhe's attitude towards this matter.

But it seems... the other party isn't planning to make a move?

Wen Tianhe slowly raised his hand, his five fingers spread wide, and the pool of flesh on the ground turned into blood energy, surging into his body.

He slowly closed his eyes, as if savoring the moment, and a hint of rapture appeared on his face once again.

After absorbing the blood essence, Wen Tianhe's gaze fell on the jade hairpin in Chen Xu's hand.

He remained silent for a few breaths before slowly speaking: "This item is called the Soul-Ghost Hairpin."

"After being stained with blood, it can automatically absorb a wandering soul and protect its consciousness from dissipation."

"Take a look, is Qingling's soul inside?"
