Starting as a cowherd, he sought a way to cultivate immortality.

When the old immortal master of the Great Camp saw Zhou Meiniang's corpse on the ground, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

"court death!"

The old immortal master flashed and instantly appeared in front of Chen Chi, pointing a finger at Chen Chi's chest.

Chen Chi's pupils contracted sharply, and he had no time to dodge. He could only gather the pure energy in his dantian to his left arm to block the old immortal master's attack.

"Overestimating yourself!"

The old immortal master snorted coldly, turned his finger into a palm, and slapped Chen Chi's left arm.

Chen Chi was thrown back several steps by the powerful force, his robe on his arm was torn into pieces, and his left arm trembled slightly and was temporarily numb.

"Hmm?" The old immortal master's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Chen Chi, who had not lost his fighting ability despite his attack, and his killing intent intensified.

Without giving Chen Chi any time to breathe, the old immortal master waved his hand and several streams of pure energy shot out, attempting to block Chen Chi's escape space.

Chen Chi spread out his divine sense, and the moment the pure energy attacked, his body twisted into a strange angle, avoiding the successive waves of pure energy.

The old immortal master opposite him grew increasingly gloomy.

"Catch the assassin!" The shouts outside the tent grew louder and louder.

Chen Chi's expression changed slightly. If he were surrounded by soldiers, he would have no chance of escaping.

"Watch my special move!"

Chen Chi deliberately lowered his voice and shouted, assuming the stance of the Five Animal Fist and mobilizing the pure energy within his body.

The old immortal master raised his white eyebrows slightly, ready to face Chen Chi's ultimate move.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Chen Chi flicked out two wisps of pure energy and then turned and ran.

With a flick of his sleeve, the old immortal master broke through two wisps of pure energy and saw that Chen Chi had already run dozens of steps away. He was furious.

"You rat, don't run away!" The old immortal master immediately chased after them.

Outside the tent, a cool breeze was blowing, and a dozen or so soldiers with swords had already arrived.

Chen Chi ran incredibly fast, ignoring the rapid depletion of his internal energy, and killed several people with a single gesture.

The soldiers were stunned by Chen Chi's unfathomable skill and were too frightened to stop him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Chi fled into the depths of the dark mountain forest.

Upon seeing this, the old immortal master, who had chased after them, angrily shouted at the soldiers, "A bunch of useless trash!"

"This old guy is an assassin too, grab him!" a soldier shouted.

Enraged, the old immortal pointed a finger, and a bloody hole appeared between the eyebrows of the shouting soldier, who immediately collapsed to the ground.

As a result of this delay, more soldiers appeared near the camp, their eyes burning with desire as they looked at the old immortal master, blocking his path.

"The Emperor has decreed a reward of ten thousand taels of gold for capturing the assassin!"

The old immortal master was so angry that his eyes widened. He took out a talisman from his bosom and poured pure energy into it.

Then, he flicked several streams of pure energy from his fingertips, killing all the soldiers blocking his way.

Amidst the splattering blood, a glimmer of light appeared on the talisman.

The old immortal master's figure vanished from everyone's sight in an instant, like a gentle breeze.

……

There is no moonlight tonight, and it is pitch black in the mountains.

Relying on his divine sense, Chen Chi fled swiftly through the forest.

He wasn't sure if the old immortal master would chase after him, so he didn't dare stop and fled deeper into the area.

Until midnight, the mountains and forests were completely silent, except for the sound of Chen Chi's hurried footsteps.

Chen Chi could no longer hold on, so he sat down behind a tree stump and began practicing the breathing technique to replenish the depleted Qi in his Dantian.

After an incense stick had burned, Chen Chi was awakened by the soft sound of footsteps crunching through leaves.

He secretly extended his divine sense and discovered that the old immortal master had actually caught up with him. He was on the back of the tree stump, looking left and right, searching for him.

Chen Chi held his breath and focused his mind, gathering the pure energy he had just absorbed into his body into his right fist.

As soon as his divine sense detected the old immortal master taking a step with his right leg, Chen Chi appeared behind the old immortal master like a tiger emerging from the mountains.

Chen Chi delivered a powerful punch, striking the old immortal master.

Under the heavy blow, the old immortal master's back caved in, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

The old immortal master wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned his head with difficulty, only to see Chen Chi's figure disappear into the darkness once again.

Thinking that Chen Chi, despite his considerable cultivation, always resorted to underhanded tactics, the old immortal master was so enraged that he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"You scoundrels, my Zhou family... will not let you get away with this..."

Before he could finish speaking, an arrow pierced through the air and struck the old immortal master in the back.

The old immortal master cried out in pain and flicked a wisp of pure energy in the direction from which the arrow had come.

The pure energy flew extremely far away, eventually dissipating into nothingness.

At this point, the old immortal master was utterly desperate.

Unwilling to be humiliated any longer, he immediately severed his own meridians, ending his own life.

Chen Chi, who was hiding in the shadows, was about to shoot another arrow when he suddenly realized that the old immortal master's aura had disappeared, and he was immediately startled.

He quietly approached the old immortal master's location, and only after his divine sense could reach him did he discover that the old immortal master had already collapsed on the ground, dead.

"It's a pity I can't shoot a few more arrows," Chen Chi said with a hint of regret.

He slowly walked to the old immortal master's corpse, bent down and began to feel around.

A moment later, Chen Chi searched the old immortal master's waist and found a talisman. Without looking at it closely, he put it into his pocket.

Next, Chen Chi found a piece of jade that emitted a faint glow and held it in his palm.

In the darkness, the cracks on the jade were clearly visible.

Feeling the abundant pure energy of heaven and earth contained within the jade, a look of joy appeared on Chen Chi's face.

Having fled all the way from Yang Jin's camp tonight and then painstakingly killed the old immortal master, the pure energy within him had long been exhausted.

If you can absorb the pure energy from the jade, you will definitely be able to recover to your best condition.

Thinking of this, Chen Chi temporarily put away the jade and continued to search the old immortal master's body.

"How come a celestial master only has this much stuff on him?" Chen Chi muttered.

After confirming that the old immortal master had nothing else on him, Chen Chi stood up.

After returning to the tree stump, he sat cross-legged on the ground again, held the jade in his hand, and tried to absorb its pure energy.

With the aid of the Qi-gathering and breathing technique, wisps of pure Qi were quickly absorbed by Chen Chi, and the pure Qi in his dantian accumulated rapidly.

Half an hour later, Chen Chi opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.

This jade is truly remarkable; my nearly depleted dantian has now been restored to its original state.

Chen Chi lowered his head and looked at the jade in his hand.

Several more cracks appeared on the jade, and its luster dimmed somewhat.

"Given my current condition, there might still be a chance."

Chen Chi put away the jade, stood up, and walked down the mountain with his bow and arrows on his back.

……

After escaping from the camp, Yang Jin found the nearest patrol team.

Upon seeing Yang Jin completely naked, the head guard immediately took off his outer garment and draped it over Yang Jin.

Only then did Yang Jin regain some of the majesty of the Great Zhou emperor.

His face was frosty as he ordered his soldiers to surround and kill the assassin.

"I want to see him alive or dead!" Yang Jin said coldly.

Then, escorted by the head guard, Yang Jin arrived at the camp at the foot of the mountain to rest.

Numerous soldiers surrounded the camp, preventing anyone from approaching the Great Zhou Emperor within.

Meanwhile, the other soldiers, having received orders, began searching the mountains with torches, determined to find the assassin.

Relying on his divine sense, Chen Chi silently killed several soldiers and escaped their search.

Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, Chen Chi did not rush to leave but instead hid in a large tree.

He drew his bow and arrow, looking down at Yang Jin's camp in the distance.

Chen Chi stared intently, waiting for an opportunity to shoot Yang Jin.
