Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Through the inscription on the golden tablet, Yu Daoxuan already knew the other party's background.

Therefore, he spoke out to warn his fellow disciples to prevent them from being deceived.

After this brief explanation, Yu's fellow disciples, Yang Mude, and others instantly realized the truth.

This demon cultivator must have been severely injured and greatly weakened, making him completely incapable of killing everyone on the spot.

That's why they deliberately used words to intimidate and force them to kill each other.

"you……"

The snake-headed demon corpse was taken aback, its face instantly turning cold and ashen: "You think I'm truly powerless to kill you?"

Before the words were finished, an overwhelming pressure swept in again, the cave was filled with howling winds, and the rock walls trembled incessantly, creating a terrifying spectacle.

"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, you must be Zheng Yechen, the leader of the Artifact and Talisman Alliance!"

"I wonder how much strength you have left after severing your tail and escaping?"

With the Divine Pearl protecting him, the spiritual pressure of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators has no effect on him.

Yu Daoxuan stood firmly in place, directly exposing the other party's true nature.

"This kid actually knows who I am."

Zheng Yechen, the snake-headed demon corpse, was incredulous, but a hint of panic finally flashed in his eyes.

He had originally planned it perfectly: first, to intimidate everyone with his power, then to sow discord by offering the condition that the two would survive, causing them to kill each other, so that he could reap the benefits.

But to his utter surprise, Yu Daoxuan saw through his identity.

"Haha, so it's Zheng Yao."

The fellow disciple surnamed Yu burst into laughter, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their desires resurfaced.

They all knew that the Artifact and Talisman Alliance had been destroyed by their sect not long ago, and Zheng Yechen had been severely injured.

They now understood that their opponents were injured and their strength was greatly reduced, so they had no power to overwhelm them.

Most importantly, the sect offered hefty rewards.

If Zheng Yechen is killed, one can obtain 10,000 merit points, which is equivalent to half a Foundation Establishment Pill.

At this moment, Cui Chengze, who had been kneeling on the ground, stood up straight in anger and embarrassment. He first glared at Yu Daoxuan, blaming him for not speaking up sooner.

Then, his magical power surged, and his fighting spirit rose, preparing him to kill Zheng Yechen and wash away the humiliation.

Yu Daoxuan felt a slight sense of relief.

It was too much for him to fight against the seriously injured Zheng Yechen alone, while also having to be wary of Yu Haizi and the other two.

Now that the other five members have joined forces to fight the enemy, their chances of victory have greatly increased.

"Since you don't know what's good for you, I will grind you to dust."

Zheng Yechen's anger surged, his body surging with blood-red corpse energy, and he mobilized all his remaining magic power, causing a terrifying sense of oppression to gather once again.

Swish!

With a flash, Zheng Yechen transformed into a blood-red afterimage, rushing straight towards Cui Chengze at the forefront.

Yu Haizi and Yu Jizi gritted their teeth and followed closely behind.

Cui Chengze was shocked and frightened when Zheng Yechen attacked him first. He hurriedly retreated, trying to rejoin the others.

However, he underestimated Zheng Yechen's speed; even with his combat strength declining, it still far exceeded that of a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

*Smack!*

A flash of cold light, and sharp claws covered in hard snake scales tore through the air in an instant, precisely slicing across Cui Chengze's shoulder!

"what!"

A piercing scream suddenly echoed throughout the cave.

Cui Chengze's entire arm snapped off with a snap, blood gushing out, and the chilling, poisonous corpse energy seeped into his meridians through the wound.

Upon seeing this, the four fellow disciples standing nearby felt a chill run down their spines and gasped.

Even though he was severely injured and weakened, Zheng Yechen's physical combat strength was still terrifyingly powerful.

The lingering greed in everyone's hearts vanished at this moment.

"The four of you find a way to take out Yu Haizi and Yu Jizi. I'll keep Zheng Yechen occupied."

Yu Daoxuan spoke up at the right time to stabilize the morale of the troops.

Before he finished speaking, he swiftly reached into his storage bag, and twelve dark green flying needles instantly flew out of the bag.

The needle flashed with a cold light and shot straight towards Zheng Yechen's vital point.

The four disciples surnamed Yu gave Yu Daoxuan, who was facing the enemy alone, a deep look. Finally, without further hesitation, they activated their magical artifacts and rushed towards the two from Bitter Bamboo Island.

Whoosh whoosh!

The twelve top-grade flying needles transformed into streaks of azure light, moving faster than lightning, and all struck Zheng Yechen's body.

But the next moment, a piercing sound of metal clashing rang out.

Ding Ding Ding!

Zheng Yechen's serpent-scaled demon body was incredibly powerful, with skin, flesh, and bones as hard as spirit iron.

The azure flying needles all struck his body, only scattering sparks, without even breaking through his surface defenses.

Yu Daoxuan's eyes darkened slightly.

Even though this demon was severely injured, the physical foundation of a Foundation Establishment demon cultivator was still terrifying, and ordinary top-grade magic weapons could hardly break through its defenses.

However, since he dared to come, he must have made preparations long ago.

"Help me..."

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the flying needles blocked the attack, Cui Chengze, who had lost blood from his severed arm, endured the excruciating pain and struggled to break free from Zheng Yechen's oppressive aura.

"Cui Chengze, if you try to escape now, you will surely die. You'd better join forces with me to fight the enemy; there's still a sliver of hope for survival."

At this moment, Yu Daoxuan activated the Chongming Sword and simultaneously transmitted his voice to Cui Chengze.

Cui Chengze, after all, is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. If he cooperates with Yu Daoxuan, dealing with Zheng Yechen, whose strength has been greatly reduced, will not be a problem.

But at this moment, Cui Chengze was already terrified by Zheng Yechen's overwhelming power, and his mind was only focused on escaping. He couldn't listen to any of the advice.

He stumbled and rolled over, then ran frantically toward the cave exit, disregarding everything else.

call out!

A flash of purple-red, cold light suddenly shot out.

Zheng Yechen's demonic body moved in an instant, so fast that only a blur remained. His sharp demonic claws pierced straight through Cui Chengze's chest, and the scream came to an abrupt end.

Upon seeing this, Yu Daoxuan secretly shook his head.

If it weren't for the significant opportunity Zheng Yechen had, he would never have followed Cui Chengze to Bitter Bamboo Island.

Cui Chengze is a man who would risk his life for small gains, but would be cautious about his life when it comes to great things.

If they had joined forces for just a moment, and the other four had killed Yu Haizi and the other two, then with everyone surrounding them, their chances of winning would have been around 60-70%.

However, he was cowardly and afraid of battle, selfishly fled, and ultimately met a tragic end, dying and disappearing from the world.

At this moment, only Yu Daoxuan remained, facing Zheng Yechen all alone.

"Hehehe... Your turn is coming soon."

Zheng Yechen was still clutching Cui Chengze's corpse, his long snake tongue lolling out, his smile sinister.

On the other side of the cave, four members of the same sect surnamed Yu were putting Yu Haizi and Yu Jizi in grave danger.

But Cui Chengze's screams came clearly, and when they caught a glimpse of his gruesome death, the four of them felt a chill run down their spines.

"Oh no, Junior Brother Yu is in danger being alone."

The fellow disciples surnamed Yu couldn't help but feel worried.

However, they are at a critical moment and could kill the two men in a matter of moments, so they cannot spare the time to come to the rescue.

Yu Haizi and Yu Jizi gritted their teeth and persevered.

The two knew that if they could delay for even a moment until Zheng Yechen killed Yu Daoxuan, the battle would be reversed instantly.

The fate of the entire battle rested entirely on Yu Daoxuan's shoulders.

"Heh heh, you have no one to help you. Let's see what you're capable of."

Zheng Yechen's sinister and eerie laughter echoed through the cave, chilling everyone to the bone.

Yu Daoxuan remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.

He raised his hand, summoning the low-grade spiritual artifact, the Firebird Diagram, and smiled coldly: "You think I'll let you have your way?"

Before he finished speaking, the Firebird Diagram's spiritual light surged, flames billowed, and a lifelike fiery bird burst forth, carrying raging inferno as it pounced towards Zheng Yechen.

"A low-grade spiritual weapon?!"

Zheng Yechen's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression changed drastically.

He used to have a magical artifact to protect him, but he was severely injured in the battle against the Artifact Alliance. His natal magical artifact was broken and destroyed by Qi Donglou. Now he only has a few top-grade magical artifacts left, which are powerless to resist the power of magical artifacts.

Fearing the power of the firebird, Zheng Yechen dared not meet it head-on and could only retreat hastily to dodge.

The firebird's attack missed and did not harm Zheng Yechen in the slightest.

This scene was not unexpected for Yu Daoxuan.

The opponent was ultimately a Foundation Establishment demon cultivator, with considerable strength, and could not be easily killed by a low-grade spiritual weapon.

Taking advantage of Zheng Yechen's hasty dodge, the remaining power of the firebird instantly wiped out Cui Chengze's corpse.

Yu Daoxuan's true calculation lies precisely in this.

Once separated from Cui Chengze's corpse, Zheng Yechen could no longer use his special secret technique to absorb the corpse's essence and blood to repair his injuries and regain more strength.

If they were ordinary mortals, their blood would have little effect on Zheng Yechen.

However, Cui Chengze was a genuine Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator, with his essence blood refined and pure. If he were to be devoured, it would be enough to cause his combat power to surge.

This seemingly missed attack actually cut off Zheng Yechen's chance to recover from his injuries.
