Cultivation: I Forge Immortality with My Spiritual Eyes

"Hahaha! It's delivered right to my doorstep!"

"Kill all these little rats!"

"Whoosh—Pfft—!"

"Have mercy, sir! Ah—!"

As soon as the rogue cultivators leaped into the sea, they ran headfirst into pirates roaming nearby.

They saw the sheep walking into their trap and began their slaughter with savage grins.

Screams and cries of agony rose and fell, as severed limbs tumbled amidst the crimson waves.

In just a short while, several of the rogue cultivators who had jumped into the sea in a panic had died.

Only a few clever individuals managed to survive, each using their own means to flee for their lives, wanting only to get as far away from this hellish place as possible.

These pirates don't care whether you're a member of the royal family or not.

Since they've come to us, we might as well kill them; we wouldn't mind taking an extra piece of the spoils.

"clang--!"

Sparks flew everywhere, and a piercing metallic clang suddenly rang out.

On the sea, Jiang Yi flicked his sleeve, and a dark light shot out from his sleeve, blocking a deadly cold light that came from behind.

His mind raced, and the Wind-Breaking Cone veered in mid-air, transforming into a streak of afterimage as it pierced straight at the enemy's face. At the same time, he swiftly formed hand seals, and a layer of Water-Avoiding Aura enveloped his body.

It then twisted its body and plunged into the seabed, attempting to escape the pursuit by using the deep sea.

"Trying to run away!"

On the blood-stained sailboat, upon catching a glimpse of Jiang Yi's escape, a horse-faced pirate let out a strange laugh.

He dodged the wind-breaking cone, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He flipped his hand and pulled out a bright blue talisman, then unleashed it with a burst of magical power.

The talisman exploded in mid-air, and a chilling aura swept across the sea, causing the seawater to crackle and condense into countless ice crystals at a visible speed.

The pale, chilling air spread rapidly along the sea surface like a living thing, chasing after the direction where Jiang Yi had disappeared, moving at an alarming speed.

Got it!

Jiang Yi felt a chill run down his spine and knew in his heart that something was wrong.

He suddenly reached out and stirred up the surrounding water, simultaneously twisting his waist and turning around, thrusting out his right palm with force, and shouting:

"Ray is coming!!"

"Sizzle—!"

The next instant, a bolt of condensed purple lightning suddenly burst forth from his sleeve, the lightning twisting and turning, incredibly fast, and crashed hard into the rolling cold air.

"Bang—!"

The two powerful forces clashed violently, exploding into a blinding white light, and the seawater was hurled into the sky, with the wave column reaching more than ten feet high.

Ignoring the outcome, Jiang Yi raised his hand and pulled the Wind-Breaking Cone back into his palm. With a flip of his body, he plunged into the deep sea again without looking back.

The horse-faced pirate was so startled by the sudden burst of lightning that his pupils contracted, and he instinctively took a half step back, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.

The thief was cunning; despite his apparent panicked escape, he was actually hiding such a fierce lightning technique!

Fortunately, I am cautious by nature and did not rush in rashly. Otherwise, if I had taken that hit head-on, I might have really died here.

Amidst the lingering fear, a surge of anger at being tricked welled up within him, intensifying his murderous intent.

He stomped his foot and steered the blood-red sailboat to break through the waves and give chase.

At the same time, he turned his head and shouted to a companion riding a demon shark nearby:

"Shi Jian! Come and give me a hand. This kid's slippery; I'm going to kill him today!"

Hearing the sound, the figure on the back of the demon shark turned around and looked over.

His face was covered with a blood-stained cloth, making it difficult to discern his features, except for a pair of sharp, cold eyes.

Judging from his eyebrows and eyes, he was not very old, about twenty years old, but his cultivation level was already at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Shi Jian frowned slightly, remaining silent, only raising his hand to pat the fish's back.

The shark beneath him immediately understood, its thick tail fin lashing out as it turned and swam toward the horse-faced pirate.

Not long after.

Upon seeing Shi Jian arrive, the horse-faced pirate grinned:

"You stay at sea and keep watch. I'll go down and force that kid to come ashore. Let's see how far he can run!"

Shi Jian's tone was flat and brief:

"Hurry up, business is more important."

"Don't worry, it won't be long."

The horse-faced pirate snorted coldly, flipped his hand and pulled out a black porcelain bottle, then uncorked it.

A viscous, ink-like liquid was drawn out, which hissed and emitted a pungent, fishy stench upon contact with air; its extreme toxicity was evident just from its appearance.

He gathered the venom into his palm using magic, then leaped into the sea, quickly chasing after the lingering aura of Jiang Yi.

Seeing this, Shi Jian said nothing more, and rode the demon shark closely behind, swimming on the sea to keep track of the direction.

He took the powerful bow from his back into his hand and then took out a specially made armor-piercing arrow from his quiver.

This bow has a dull color and is engraved with forbidden patterns. It is full of spiritual energy and is clearly a top-grade magic weapon!

The arrows nocked on the bowstring were coated with deadly poison, their arrowheads gleaming coldly, a bluish-green hue that sent chills down one's spine at first glance.

A moment later.

A nearby sea area was suddenly tinged with a gray hue, with wisps of gray-black smoke rising from the waves, and large patches of murky bubbles bubbling up from the seabed.

Shi Jian took a deep breath, channeled his strength into his arms, drew his bow to its fullest extent, and locked the arrow firmly onto the churning sea.

Once the target is forced to reveal themselves, a fatal blow can be delivered.

"Splash—!"

A few breaths later, a figure in a green robe emerged from the water.

Jiang Yi moved nimbly, using the momentum of breaking through the water to twist his waist in mid-air, barely avoiding a cold glint that came from underwater.

Shi Jian's eyes narrowed, and he was about to release the string when the opponent was exhausted.

But when he saw that familiar face, he was startled and abruptly stopped, feeling greatly surprised.

the other side.

As soon as Jiang Yi broke through the water, he sensed a threat that felt like a thorn in his back. He had already prepared a water shield talisman in his palm, which he could activate with a thought.

But a moment later, the expected killing move did not come.

Slightly puzzled, he unleashed his magic, lightly touched the sea with his toes, and leaped more than ten zhang away, looking back in mid-air.

His eyes widened in surprise.

Although the other person's face was covered with a blood-stained cloth, their figure and features were all too familiar.

Jiang Yi recognized him at a glance.

This person was none other than Shi Qianye, the son of Aunt Yang and a childhood friend of the original owner.

It's him!

Jiang Yi was both surprised and delighted.

The good news is that Shi Qianye is still alive. If Aunt Yang knew this, she would surely be able to let go of her long-standing worries.

What was shocking was that the reason the other party had disappeared without a trace was that they had become the ruthless Bloodstain Thief.

Their gazes met in mid-air, neither of them speaking, yet they had already reached a tacit understanding.

Jiang Yifei quickly made a subtle hand gesture, a secret code they had agreed upon since childhood, which only the two of them could understand.

Shi Qianye's eyes flashed, and he nodded almost imperceptibly, raising his hand to point southwest.

Jiang Yi immediately understood and no longer hesitated.

He channeled his magic into his legs, leaped forward, and stepped on the crests of the waves, disappearing into the vast sea fog in a few bounds.

"Splash—!"

The next moment, the horse-faced pirate burst out of the water, his face beaming with excitement.

Looking around, he saw that Shi Jian was the only one on the sea, and grinned:

"Shi Jian, you're really efficient. You burned the corpses so quickly. What treasures did you find? Don't hide them."

That kid has some connections; he might have some good stuff on him. According to the rules, we'll split it fifty-fifty; don't even think about taking it all for yourself.

Shi Qianye glanced at him coldly:

"That guy's got some skills, but he got away. Let's get down to business and stop dawdling here."

Too lazy to say anything more, he clamped his legs together, sat down, and the demonic shark swung its tail and turned around, carrying him towards the spirit ship, cutting through the waves.

"They ran away?"

The horse-faced pirate's smile froze instantly, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Damn it, I used up a whole bottle of Abyss Poison to force them up here! And now they're telling me they ran away?"

His face twitched violently, a surge of anger rising within him, yet he dared not vent it on Shi Qianye.

Finally, he stomped his foot, leaped back onto the blood-red sailboat, and pounced on the spirit ship with a murderous look on his face.

That bellyful of pent-up frustration had to find an unlucky person to vent it on...
