The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

However, for the sake of the bigger picture and for what he truly wanted, Chen Changsheng kept suppressing his anger.

He knew he was a guiding light for many people, and that many were waiting for him to show them the way.

Once they fall, many people will fall into despair.

That is precisely why Chen Changsheng was never willing to be at the forefront.

But the passing of each old friend was a huge blow to Chen Changsheng.

After accumulating so much experience over the years, Chen Changsheng was hoping that one day he could protect those around him from harm.

At this moment, Chen Changsheng's accumulation was sufficient, or at least he believed it was sufficient.

"brush!"

The longsword cleaved through space and time, leaving a bloody wound on Yin Jie's chest.

"Tick!"

Blood dripped from the sword tip, and three metal puppets sealed off Yin Jie's surroundings.

Looking at the wound on his chest, Yin Jie said softly, "If it could break through my physical defenses, then it means that my great-grandfather used a deadly attack."

"If that's the case, then I'll have to be more serious!"

After saying that, the Ruyi Wind and Thunder Cudgel appeared in Yin Jie's hand.

With a sudden flap of his azure wings, Yin Jie appeared directly behind the sword puppet.

"boom!"

With a single blow, the sword puppet was shattered. Before Chen Changsheng could react, the fist puppet and the knife puppet were also instantly destroyed.

Looking at the scattered metal fragments, Yin Jie pondered for a moment and then directly summoned his black crystal life lamp.

"Om~"

The blazing flames burned the metal fragments on the ground.

The life lamp of a quasi-emperor of this era is so powerful that few things in the world can withstand its burning, not even the puppets that Chen Changsheng created himself.

After burning for an hour, all the metal fragments turned into molten iron.

After carefully sensing that there were no more spiritual fluctuations in the molten iron, Yin Jie prepared to enter the core area again.

"brush!"

A rhombus-shaped iron sheet flew in from the horizon, and under the influence of this special iron sheet, all the molten iron began to converge rapidly.

"slide!"

In the blink of an eye, countless molten iron pieces converged into a scalding hot metal puppet.

As the temperature decreased, the molten iron returned to its original shape, and even the fine patterns on the metal fragments were restored.

"Om~"

It coalesced and took shape, and a huge wave of air blew away countless sand and stones.

Looking at the completely new form of the metal puppet, Yin Jie was filled with indescribable shock.

"A peculiar metal that returns to its original shape after a temperature change."

"As expected of my great-grandfather's work, who in the world can compare to such ingenuity?"

As he spoke, a hint of excitement flashed in Yin Jie's eyes, and the bottleneck that had troubled him for many years began to loosen up.

"Wow!"

Before Yin Jie could make a move, countless sharp blades flew out from the metal puppet.

A torrent of metal formed a giant dragon and charged straight at Yin Jie.

"Sword Four Seven Skills, I never imagined that my great-grandfather would incorporate Grandpa Sword's Nine Swords into it as well."

"This is absolutely brilliant!"

"Roar!"

A white ape phantom appeared out of thin air, and Yin Jie's Wuzhiqi bloodline was fully activated.

The Ruyi Wind and Thunder Staff transformed into a colossal pillar supporting the sky, and the white ape, wielding the Ruyi Wind and Thunder Staff, engaged in a fierce battle with the metal dragon.

I originally thought I would be able to witness the legendary Nine Swords.

However, after exchanging a hundred blows, Yin Jie realized something was wrong, because this was not the Sword 4 he knew at all.

"Wow!"

The scattered blades formed a sword array, and a powerful sword intent began to annihilate everything within it.

"This is true speed; your movements were too slow just now."

A mechanical voice sounded behind Yin Jie, and before he could retaliate, a sword light directly severed his body.

Even his right hand, which was holding the Ruyi Wind and Thunder Cudgel, was severed by Chen Changsheng.

"kill!"

The longsword in his hand transformed into a blade, and the metal puppet's blade emitted a crimson, malevolent aura.

If he were struck by this blade, even with Yin Jie's cultivation at the third level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, he would surely die.

"Don't hurt my nephew!"

Just as Yin Jie's life hung by a thread, a loud shout came from the sky.

The roar, imbued with imperial might, even shattered the Dao patterns of the entire cosmic black hole.

A gigantic hand reached out to grab Yin Jie, intending to take him away from this place.

"You can't save him!"

The metal puppet coldly uttered a sentence, and a fishing rod sliced ​​through the void, heading straight for Chen Xiao's heart.

"clang!"

The fishing rod struck Chen Xiao with a metallic clang, and the fishing rod, powerful enough to shatter anything in the world, was actually stopped by Chen Xiao's bare body.

"Let's go!"

Grabbing Yin Jie, whose body was now only a third of its original size, Chen Xiao laughed and left.

Watching the two disappear into the horizon, the metal puppet sneered, then turned and returned to the cave of the Nine-Headed Willow.

......

A corner of a cosmic black hole.

"Snapped!"

Chen Xiao casually tossed Yin Jie, who only had a third left, on the ground and rolled her eyes at him, saying something in annoyance.

"You little brat, how dare you wander into a place like this? You're asking for it!"

Faced with Chen Xiao's reprimand, Yin Jie awkwardly laughed and said, "The main reason is that I didn't expect the puppet to change its moves so quickly."

"If I had another chance, I wouldn't have fallen for it so easily."

As he spoke, Yin Jie's body began to regenerate, and in the blink of an eye, he was back to normal.

"You'll still die if you do it again. Your great-grandfather spent his whole life researching how to kill high-level cultivators in the world."

"You think your rudimentary skills are enough to be his match?"

"Look at your heart pulse; you're about to die!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Jie quickly looked at his chest, only to find that his chest, which had originally been made of flesh and blood, had somehow turned into sheets of paper money.

"what is this?"

"The curse technique was something your great-grandfather went to great lengths to steal from the forbidden area of ​​reincarnation."

"If I'm not mistaken, this kind of curse should be called the Copper Coin Curse."

"Life is as fragile as paper, and the soul as light as money!"

"A scale weighs three coins, a pittance among ants!"

"Once your physical body has completely turned into paper money, your life will be over!"

Upon receiving this answer, Yin Jie immediately channeled his divine power, attempting to expel the strange entity.

Strangely, no matter how much Yin Jie activated his divine power or used the fire of the life lamp to burn it, the paper money never disappeared.

Even more terrifyingly, as some of the paper money was destroyed, Yin Jie himself also suffered severe damage.

"Don't waste your energy, those paper money are the transformation of your own life."

"By destroying them, you are destroying your own life."

As she spoke, Chen Xiao stepped forward to check on Yin Jie's injuries. After realizing that she was powerless to help, Chen Xiao frowned even more.

"Uncle Chen, how do you know about this? Could it be that you've also studied witchcraft?"

“I have never learned this. When your great-grandfather got the book of apotropaic magic, he felt that it was against the natural order, so he did not pass it on to anyone.”

"The reason I know about this curse you've been under is because your great-grandfather was also under the exact same curse."
