Practice begins with immortality

Two hours after the four entered the passage.

"It's almost time. Damn it, if the Lord hadn't ordered me to keep an eye on this kid, how could I have come here!" Xue Ku looked at the entrance of the passage with a gloomy face, muttering to himself.

Another quarter of an hour later, Zhao Qingling and the other two slowly walked out of the passage.

"They're out!"

"What's in it?"

There was a murmur among the crowd, and everyone was guessing what good things were in the center of the ruins.

Seeing the three people come out, Xue Ku immediately stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and asked, "Miss Zhao, I wonder why my young master hasn't come out yet?"

Zhao Qingling glanced at Xue Ku and said softly, "Daoyou Li said he was going to look for opportunities elsewhere, so we separated."

"I see. I'm sorry for being a bit rude." After saying that, Xue Ku flew directly back to where he was before.

Returning to his original spot, Xue Ku cursed inwardly, "This little thing, you better not play any tricks on me! Otherwise, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I can still catch you!"

Afterwards, Zhao Qingling found a place to rest her eyes, while Wu Hao and Cheng Wushuang protected her. Meanwhile, Xue Ku sat quietly, occasionally glancing toward the passageway to see if Li Youying had emerged. After all, if anything happened to Li Youying, his fate would surely be dire.

Another half a minute later, a figure appeared in the passage. The figure walked slowly towards them. It was Li Youying.

"Young Master, you finally came out!" Seeing Li Youying coming out of the passage, Xue Ku immediately flew in front of him, and asked him with a hint of stability in his eyes.

"I wonder what opportunity you have obtained, young master?" Xue Ku smiled, but his tone carried an irresistible meaning, as if he wanted to know the answer from Li Youying.

Hearing this, the others also focused their attention and listened carefully to Li Youying's answer. They were also curious about what kind of opportunity Li Youying had obtained in there.

"It's a long sword of the highest grade magical weapon." Li Youying said calmly without any emotion.

"It's actually a top-grade magical weapon!" Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. You know, on this Tianjing Plain, most Jindan cultivators use low-grade magical weapons, while only those with deep experience and great strength possess mid-grade magical weapons. As for top-grade magical weapons, they are generally only found in those with long histories of families and sects, passed down through generations of powerful practitioners. As for top-grade magical weapons, only the two Yuanying Zhenjuns in the entire Tianjing Plain possess such treasures.

"I didn't expect it to be a top-grade magical weapon. It's a treasure used by Yuanying cultivators. I've lived for over six hundred years and have never seen one with my own eyes. Young Master, could you please take it out and let me open my eyes?"

"If Master Ku wants to see it, there is naturally no problem. This is the top-grade magic weapon..." As he spoke, Li Youying suddenly summoned the Soul-Splitting Knife, a low-grade magic weapon, and slashed at Xue Ku.

Everything happened so fast, like lightning streaking across the night sky. Xue Ku didn't even have time to react before Li Youying's fierce blow severed him in two. However, surprisingly, Xue Ku didn't let out the scream Li Youying had expected. Instead, his broken body suddenly erupted with a dazzling red light, as brilliant as a flaming meteor.

"What is this?" exclaimed the crowd. Their eyes widened as they stared at the bizarre sight before them. The red light, like a vast, blood-red curtain, spread rapidly, completely enveloping the entire center of the ruins.

With a loud bang, someone tried to break through the blood-red curtain, but it was like hitting a solid wall, leaving their head broken and bleeding. Seeing this, the others looked at Li Youying and Xue Ku warily as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"You damned little beast, how dare you deceive me! I'm going to skin you alive and pull out your tendons!" I saw that Xue Ku's body, which was broken into two pieces, had been reconnected under the effect of the blood light.

"Boom!" Li Youying raised his hand and slashed out a sharp black blade light, but before the blade light reached Xue Ku, it was turned into nothing by a flash of blood.

"You little bastard, it's useless! This magic weapon may be powerful, but with your late Jindan cultivation, you can't fully unleash its might. And I, on the other hand, have mastered the Blood Infant Secret Technique, which is equivalent to a Fake Infant cultivator. If you beg for mercy now, I can spare your life!" Xue Ku said arrogantly. At the same time, a blood-colored humanoid figure faintly emerged from his body.

On the other side, Li Youying was thinking about how to break the deadlock.
