The entry for cultivating immortality states that after dying a hundred times, I attained immortalit

As the dark purple miasma approached his wrist, it spontaneously split, with a portion being absorbed by the poisonous patterns and transformed into a cool spiritual energy that flowed into his dantian.

This is a new use for the poisonous pattern that Jiang Baicai discovered.

In areas teeming with poisonous miasma, the poisonous patterns can not only guide you to safety but also convert some of the poisonous gas into your own.

Down the slope, the one-eyed man shook the chain again.

Jiang Lin had already ignited the last two Blazing Flame Talismans in his hand, but he hesitated to throw them.

If you get too close, the explosion could affect you.

"Stop playing around." A young cultivator in an indigo Taoist robe spoke up beside the one-eyed man.

He held the array plate in one hand and was inserting several array flags into the ground with the other. "The trapping array will be complete soon. Capture them alive; Miss Li wants to question them."

Array Master.

Jiang Bai's eyes narrowed.

The mage was setting up an array; his aura was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, so the threat was relatively small.

The real problem lies with the one-eyed man and the other two Li family cultivators.

Can't wait any longer.

Jiang Bai held his breath, wrapped his Shadow Cloak tighter, and activated the [Concealing Breath Technique].

His aura instantly subsided, and his presence was reduced to a minimum.

Like a shadow, he slid down the high rock face, silently approaching the battle zone.

The Chen family cultivators who were setting up the formation were inserting the third array flag into the crevice in the stone while chanting incantations.

The runes on the array plate lit up one after another, and a pale blue light shield slowly rose from the ground, about to envelop Jiang Lin.

Jiang Bai slightly bent his right leg and channeled spiritual energy into both legs.

【Swift Shadow Step】, activated.

Within five breaths, the speed increased by 30%!

His figure left afterimages in the poisonous miasma as he rushed straight at the array master.

The cultivator noticed the sound of wind breaking behind him and turned around in horror, only to see a dark shadow rapidly enlarging in his pupils.

"enemy--"

The shouting stopped abruptly.

Jiang Bai brought his right hand together, forming a palm blade with all the power of his second-level Body Tempering body, and slammed it down hard on the back of the array master's neck.

"Snap!"

The crisp sound of the neck bone breaking was clearly audible.

The array master's body went limp, and the array plate in his hand flew out, tumbling twice in the air before crashing down heavily.

The pale blue light shield that had risen half a foot fluctuated violently before disintegrating into countless points of light.

"Who goes there!" The one-eyed man suddenly turned around, and the dark chain lashed out at Jiang Bai like a venomous snake.

Jiang Bai sidestepped the chain head, his steps unwavering, and charged straight at the nearest Li family swordsman.

The swordsman reacted quickly, slashing horizontally with his longsword, the blade cutting through the poisonous miasma with a sharp whistling sound.

Jiang Bai neither dodged nor evaded, raising his left arm to take the blow head-on.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out. The blade left a white mark on the arm, but failed to break the skin. The swordsman's eyes widened in horror, and he tried to withdraw his sword and retreat, but Jiang Bai's right hand was already at his chest.

He gripped the hem of his shirt with his five fingers and pulled hard.

The swordsman was pulled forward and stumbled. Jiang Bai clenched his left fist and slammed it into the swordsman's chest.

The power of the second level of Body Tempering erupted completely. With a muffled thud as his sternum collapsed, the swordsman was sent flying backward, crashing into the rock wall and falling to the ground, lifeless.

In the blink of an eye, both men were killed.

The one-eyed man's face darkened: "Jiang Bai?"

"It's me." Jiang Bai stopped and stood in front of Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin, panting heavily, his voice hoarse, said, "Be careful... those chains can seal spiritual power..."

"Know."

Jiang Bai's gaze swept over the remaining three people in the room.

Besides the one-eyed man, there was also a Li family swordsman and a Black Fiend Valley rogue cultivator wielding twin hammers.

The three surrounded Jiang Bai and Jiang Lin.

The one-eyed man licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes: "Miss Li said your head could be exchanged for an entire mine. I was originally planning to capture your teammates first to lure you out, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep."

With a flick of his wrist, the dark chain rattled and gleamed with a dull, murky light.

"Let's do it!"

Before he finished speaking, the three of them pounced on him at the same time.

The one-eyed man swept his chain across, blocking Jiang Bai's escape routes to the left and right; the Li family swordsman thrust his long sword straight at Jiang Bai's throat; the double-hammered rogue cultivator circled around to the side and smashed Jiang Bai's waist and ribs with his heavy hammer.

The three worked together seamlessly, unleashing a series of deadly moves.

Jiang Bai's eyes suddenly turned cold, and beneath the black veil on his right wrist, the first poisonous mark quietly appeared.

He ducked to avoid the chains, his left hand flashing out like lightning, precisely grabbing the wrist of the Li family swordsman and twisting it forcefully. The swordsman, in pain, released his grip, and his long sword fell to the ground. Jiang Bai's right foot followed suit, kicking the hilt of the sword, sending it flying like an arrow, aiming straight for the face of the double-hammered rogue.

The rogue cultivator hurriedly raised his hammer to block.

"clang!"

The longsword was knocked away, and the rogue cultivator's movements faltered slightly.

In that instant, Jiang Bai closed in, his right hand forming a claw as he grabbed the rogue cultivator's wrist and forcefully twisted it.

A crisp cracking sound came from the wrist bone.

The rogue cultivator screamed in pain as his left hammer slipped from his grasp. Jiang Bai snatched his right hammer and slammed it down on his forehead.

The skull shattered, and red and white substances splattered everywhere.

On the other side, the one-eyed man's chain struck again, the chain head like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, aiming straight for Jiang Baihou's heart.

Without turning his head, Jiang Bai swung his right arm backward, and the heavy hammer collided with the chain head with a loud crash.

"boom!"

The shockwave exploded, and toxic miasma surged forth.

Using the momentum, Jiang Bai charged forward, lunging at the last Li family swordsman. The swordsman had already retrieved his longsword; seeing Jiang Bai approach, he gritted his teeth and swung his sword fiercely, the blade flashing sharply.

Jiang Bai did not dodge, but instead punched the side of the blade with his right fist.

"clang!"

The longsword trembled violently, the swordsman's hand split open, and the sword flew out of his grasp. Jiang Bai pressed his left palm against the swordsman's chest, suddenly unleashing his spiritual energy.

The swordsman's sternum was shattered, blood gushed from his mouth, and he collapsed to the ground, dead.

In the blink of an eye, two more people perished.

Only the one-eyed man remained in the arena.

"Good, good!" The one-eyed man laughed instead of getting angry, the chain slowly swirling in his hand. "No wonder Miss Li values ​​you so much. To have cultivated your body tempering technique to such a level, being able to withstand a magic weapon at the fourth level of Qi Refining, the Jiang family has truly produced a monster."

He paused, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes: "Unfortunately, you will die here today."

As soon as he finished speaking, his spiritual power surged, and he fully released the aura of the sixth level of Qi Refining, causing the surrounding poisonous miasma to be pushed outwards.

The dark luster on the chains intensified, and the chain links collided, producing a grinding sound.

Jiang Bai's expression was solemn.

She was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, two minor realms higher than him, and the difference in their total spiritual power was enormous.

What's more troublesome is that the chains are clearly magical artifacts specifically designed to counter poison cultivators.

The dark light surrounding the chain could purify toxins. The few wisps of poison he had tentatively released earlier were completely dispelled as soon as they approached the chain by three inches.

"My 'Breaking Law Chain' is specifically designed to break all kinds of evil and poisonous techniques," the one-eyed man sneered. "Your poison is useless against me."

He stepped forward, and the chains instantly transformed into a sky full of whip shadows, firmly enveloping Jiang Baizhou.

Jiang Bai used his agility to weave and dodge through the whip's shadows. The chain head grazed past him several times, the force of the whip making his cheeks sting.

This can't go on.

His spiritual energy was being depleted too quickly, while his opponent was playing steadily and cautiously, clearly trying to wear him down.

Jiang Bai's mind raced, his gaze sweeping over the one-eyed man's steps. Although the man's attacks were fierce, there was a slight hesitation in his right leg as he took a step—when he was fighting Jiang Lin earlier, although Jiang Lin's last Explosive Flame Talisman missed, the aftershock of the explosion must have still injured his right leg.

opportunity.

Jiang Bai deliberately created an opening, slowing his retreat by half a beat.

The one-eyed man was indeed fooled; the chain followed him closely, aiming straight for Jiang Baihou's heart.

It's now!

Jiang Bai suddenly lowered his body, almost sliding along the ground. The chains grazed his hair as he suddenly exerted force with his legs, propelling him like an arrow towards the one-eyed man's right side.

With a swift movement of his right hand to his waist, the poisoned dagger fell into his palm.

The one-eyed man sneered, and the chain rolled back, blocking his way.

Beneath the black veil on Jiang Bai's right wrist, the second poisonous pattern, "Burning Blood Poison," flowed silently. The power of the poisonous pattern flowed along the meridians into the dagger, causing the blade to tinge with a very faint bluish-purple hue.

The dagger collided with the chain.

"Ding!"

Sparks flew up.

The one-eyed man's expression changed drastically.

The dark light on the chains failed to completely dispel the poison on the dagger! A wisp of bluish-purple poison slowly spread along the chains, steadily eroding the magical artifact's spiritual light.

"This poison is wrong!" the one-eyed man exclaimed in shock. "You're not an ordinary poison master!"

He suddenly remembered Li Yueyao's instructions—if the poison used by Jiang Bai was beyond reason, send a signal immediately.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Jiang Bai gave him no chance at all, activating [Swift Shadow Step] again, his speed increasing dramatically. He moved like a ghost to the one-eyed man's right side, thrusting his dagger forward repeatedly.

The one-eyed man had an injury to his right leg and was a beat slow to turn around.

The dagger sliced ​​across his right arm.

Although the wound was not deep, the bluish-purple poison gas instantly seeped in. The one-eyed man felt a burning pain in his right arm, his blood seemed to boil, and his spiritual energy circulation immediately became sluggish.

"Damn it!" he roared, his left hand reaching for the signal talisman at his waist.

Jiang Bai would not let him succeed. The third poisonous mark on his right wrist, "Paralyzing Poison Mist," was suddenly activated—although it was only in its rudimentary form, under the enhancement of the poisonous mark, a pale gray poisonous mist still gushed out from Jiang Bai's sleeve, covering an area of ​​three zhang in radius.

The one-eyed man inhaled the toxic fumes, and his movements immediately froze.

Although it was only for a breath.

But for Jiang Bai, that was enough.

The dagger pierced his throat.

The one-eyed man stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but only a mouthful of blood gushed out. His body slowly went limp, convulsed a few times, and then lay still.

Jiang Bai, panting heavily, sheathed his dagger.

A burning sensation came from my right wrist as the three poisonous patterns activated simultaneously, putting a considerable strain on me.

A very faint trace of the poisonous cultivator's aura leaked out, but it was quickly concealed by the black veil.

He didn't even have time to catch his breath before quickly walking to Jiang Lin's side.

Jiang Lin collapsed to the ground, his face ashen. The knife wound on his left shoulder was deep enough to expose the bone, and blood stained half of his Taoist robe. Even more troublesome was the spiderweb-like bluish-black lines appearing on his exposed skin, spreading along his blood vessels toward his heart.

"Corrosive Meridian Powder." Jiang Lin's voice was weak. "They forced me to swallow it... saying that without the antidote within three hours, my meridians would gradually rot..."

Jiang Bai's eyes darkened.

Corrosive Pulse is a commonly used poison in Black Fiend Valley that controls people, and only they possess the antidote. Perhaps the antidote was hidden on the bodies of those people just killed.

He quickly searched the one-eyed man's body and, sure enough, found a small jade bottle in his storage bag. The bottle was labeled "Antidote for Corruption Pulse Dispersing Powder".

He poured out a brown pill and fed it to Jiang Lin.

As the medicine took effect, the bluish-black lines on Jiang Lin's skin began to slowly fade. He let out a long sigh and struggled to sit up: "Thank you..."

"Can you still walk?" Jiang Bai asked.

Jiang Lin gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes."

"Let's get out of here first." Jiang Bai helped him up, glancing around. The fight just now had been quite loud and would probably attract other people.

The two had only taken a few steps when Jiang Lin suddenly remembered something and said urgently, "Oh right, Jiang Wu... Jiang Wu has also been captured by them."

Jiang Bai stopped in his tracks: "What?"

"Shortly after we separated, I was targeted." Jiang Lin caught his breath. "I overheard them saying during the fight... Jiang Wu was separated from his group near the 'Ancient Cultivation Altar' in the east and was surrounded by Li Yueyao and her men. They left me as bait to lure you to his rescue..."

Jiang Bai's heart sank.

Li Yueyao took action personally.

That woman possessed the cultivation level of the fifth stage of Qi Refining, was ruthless, and led more than one team. Jiang Wu, having fallen into her hands, was likely in grave danger.

"What else did they say?" Jiang Bai pressed.

"She said..." Jiang Lin tried to recall, "that Miss Li had set up a trap at the altar, just waiting for you to walk right into it. There was... there was some kind of ancient forbidden area there..."
