I am a living immortal.

The two sides fought for this space.

"Do you think you can defeat me with just that little rule?" Yujiang's expression grew increasingly cold, and it looked very unpleasant. No, it wasn't just unpleasant, it could even be described as disgusting.

After all, the rules of spring and winter are inherently contradictory. His relationship with Ju Mang is worse than bad, after all, all the innate gods have hatred for each other.

Seeing his sour face, the old goat was very happy, so he laughed and mocked: "Oh, right, I suddenly remembered something. You are not Yujiang, you are just a part of him. Besides, I said it early on, I am not here to defeat you, but to hold you back, and that is enough."

"As for the person who defeated you, he'll be out of seclusion soon, and then you'll be able to experience the feeling of being killed by a sword again. Last time, he made that guy commit suicide, but I don't think you'll do that this time. I'll cheer for you, and I hope you can hold out a little longer under that guy's sword, hehe, hahahaha."

The old goat laughed wildly.

"You!!!" Yujiang was furious, and the surrounding wind blew a biting cold wind for no reason, and this cold wind was mixed with death and plague.

The old goat is no less impressive.

This was the space he had created. In reality, he was at a disadvantage in terms of the application of rules or the strength of the rules, but one thing had to be said: the old goat possessed not only rules, but also martial arts and immortal ways.

Being able to fight now was already a great achievement. He certainly wouldn't expect to defeat an old monster that had lived for tens of thousands of years, even if the old monster was a cripple, but that didn't mean he couldn't contend.

The rules of spring, imbued with true energy, built a high wall. No matter how cold the wind blew from the outside, it remained unmoved.

In reality, battles between innate gods don't work like this; they're simply a matter of following the rules, a fundamental application. But Old Goat only knows this. While he's added his own twist to the rules, the timeframe is still too short. If he can't do that, he'll simply drag his opponent into his comfort zone.

The reason why Yujiang did not dare to attack rashly was because he discovered:

The person in front of me had already planned it out long ago.

This space, the artistic conception of spring, and the true energy that filled the entire space made him feel very depressed. He also did not dare to enter the domain of the other party's rules.

For a fish to enter the desert is to seek death, not even sharks or whales.

Frustrated, that was Yujiang's first reaction. This person was so damn sinister and disgusting. He would rather fight Su Mu head-on, even if it meant death, because he was inferior to her.

Instead of being like now, where I am obviously much stronger than the other party, but I am still restricted. It's unbearable.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, the cold wind became even more noisy.

"Do you think I can't do anything to you?" Yujiang sneered.

"No, you are already doing something tricky." The old goat directly pointed out the other party's little trick.

This little trick wasn't as useless to the old goat as he'd imagined. Threads of deathly energy continued to linger, trying to find a way out.

The old goat appeared calm, but he was actually thinking. To achieve this point, he had already exhausted all his strength.

The ever-circulating life force within him sustained this small area. It was still far from enough. He raised his hand to extinguish the intruding plague aura. The plague and the vitality counteracted each other and entangled. If he didn't intervene, it might explode into smithereens.

I sighed in my heart, hoping Su Mu would be quick.

The two sides were deadlocked in this space, with no other options. Yujiang didn't have the ability to defeat the opponent all at once, so he could only wear down the opponent bit by bit.

.........

Outside the space, a small old man stumbled out of nowhere and fell. He dusted himself off and felt his body, feeling that he was not missing any limbs. He breathed a sigh of relief. He had survived...

He really survived. The old man Cao Chen smiled sincerely. He didn't know how he had gotten through these days. Since being caught by that person, except for the necessary requests for directions, he was in and out of breath, either unconscious or pretending to be unconscious.

In fact, this calamity was not over yet, but he still laughed sincerely. He was just like that, otherwise why couldn't he get along with those old antiques of the Tianyan Sect?

He looked around, not knowing where he was. He'd been truly dizzy, and when he woke up, he found that person fighting with someone else, and they even felt a sense of mutual understanding. Pah!

He spat, then remembered his treasures. Carefully pulling out a storage bag, he peered inside, a frown instantly etched upon his face once again. The innate god had arrived so suddenly. He was sipping tea in the Peach Blossom Spring he'd built. With a resounding bang, he was left alone. Formations, marvelous landscapes, nothing in the face of absolute power. He'd spent years setting up and selecting the site. Had he known the outcome would be the same, he should have enjoyed a few years of comfort.

But how many people can feel at peace knowing that they are about to suffer a disaster?

He was furious. When this disaster was over, he would definitely find the idiot who had leaked his whereabouts and bring him down to dust. Cao Chen thought he had done his best and had never offended anyone, but he was betrayed like this.

His belongings had likely been completely destroyed in the violent demolition. But this single cloth bag held his best assets: a compass, a few copper coins, and some other small items. These were left to him by his master when he graduated. It had been almost two years, and after a lifetime of hard work, he still felt like a pauper.

"Oh," he sighed heavily.

But at least I could sigh. As long as I was alive, there was a chance. This... He put away the storage bag and took a deep breath. I wondered how the fight between the two men went. Cao Chen's eyes widened, a golden light covering them. He could still make out the space superimposed upon it, but it was obscured by various runes and dragon energy, making it impossible to make out anything.

As for why he didn't run? Only a fool would run. The man who fought the innate god was no fool either. He also heard that this person was just blocking the way, and there were others behind him.

So he was not going to leave, he was going to stay here and wait for the end of the battle.

The City God of Jiading Prefecture had arrived at his side at some point. Seeing Cao Chen, he was inevitably a little surprised and asked, "How is the battle going inside?"

Cao Chen shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. He was kicked out, and it was already good enough that he could save his life.
