Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

The air in the fairyland was filled with the faint fragrance of grass and trees, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on Xiao Bei and Bei Li, giving them a golden halo.

Beili leaned lightly on Xiao Bei's shoulder, and the spirit bird jumped on her fingertips, chirping clearly and pleasantly.

This rare tranquility is like the calm surface of a lake, beautiful yet fragile.

"Beili, do you feel..." Xiao Bei's voice was low, and there was a hint of strangeness in his unfinished words.

Almost at the same time, a slight sound of breaking through the air was heard, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, which was creepy.

Xiao Bei's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his originally gentle gaze instantly became as sharp as a knife.

He suddenly protected Beili behind him, and he had already clenched the long sword in his hand. The sword made a low humming sound, like a beast about to wake up.

Beili also sensed the danger and she was no longer dependent on her master. The spirit bird sensed her master's nervousness and stopped playing. It let out a sharp cry and circled above Beili's head, looking around vigilantly.

The air seemed to freeze, and the tense atmosphere spread like a spider web.

The next moment, several black shadows rushed out from the dense forest at lightning speed and headed straight for Xiao Bei and Bei Li.

They were dressed in black, their faces hidden in shadows, and the sharp blades in their hands flashed coldly, carrying a chilling murderous intent.

"Shadow Assassin!" Xiao Bei shouted softly, and his figure flashed like a ghost, avoiding the oncoming attack.

The long sword was swung, and the sword energy was everywhere, colliding with the assassin's sharp blade, making a sharp sound of metal clashing.

Sparks flew everywhere, like cold flames blooming in the night sky.

Beili swung his staff and a blue light shot out, hitting an assassin.

The assassin groaned and staggered, but did not fall down.

Seeing this, the other assassins attacked more fiercely, and every move was deadly. They were obviously well-trained killers.

The spirit bird shuttled flexibly in the air, sometimes diving, sometimes circling, making sharp calls to interfere with the assassin and buy time for Xiao Bei.

The battle was fierce and chaotic. The surrounding flowers, plants and trees were affected by the spiritual power and fell down one after another, creating a mess.

Xiao Bei's eyes were cold, his swordsmanship was sharp, and every move contained great power.

While fending off the assassin's attacks, he also protected Beili, preventing Beili from getting hurt.

"Beili, step back!" Xiao Bei growled.

He felt the pressure growing; the strength of these assassins was far beyond his imagination.

Beili clenched his teeth, his eyes full of worry.

She knew that staying here would only become a burden to Xiao Bei...

Suddenly, Xiao Bei paused...

Xiao Bei's heart trembled, and the momentum of his sword stagnated slightly.

It wasn't that he was unable to do it, but he felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.

These assassins were well-trained, and their moves were deadly, but it didn't seem like they were trying to kill them. It was more like a test, or...

procrastination?

He glanced at Beili behind him. Her pretty face was tense and the staff in her hand was flashing, but she never killed him.

He knew that Beili was also worried about something like him.

What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this?

In the blink of an eye, an old yet deep voice echoed through the forest: "Star River Dust Falling Formation!"

Before he finished speaking, tiny stars appeared out of nowhere, as if night had fallen, enveloping Xiao Bei and Bei Li.

The starlight intertwined to form a translucent barrier, blocking the assassins out.

Elder Xingchen, Xiao Bei's predecessor, appeared in the forest at some point.

His hair and beard were all white, he was dressed in a plain robe, and held an ancient wooden staff in his hand, like an ancient god.

The sudden change caused the assassins' offensive to stagnate.

They looked at each other, and inside the formation, Xiao Bei and Bei Li were also stunned.

What exactly is Elder Stardust’s intention behind this action?

An assassin swung his knife tentatively, and the blade hit the starlight barrier with a dull sound.

The barrier rippled, but did not break.

Seeing this, the assassins retreated and observed the formation vigilantly.

"Elder..." Xiao Bei was about to ask, but was interrupted by Elder Xingchen who raised his hand.

"Mo Yan, just wait and see." Elder Stardust closed his eyes slightly, muttering something, and the wooden staff in his hand emitted a soft light, maintaining the stability of the formation.

The assassins exchanged glances and seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.

They slowly spread out and surrounded the formation, the weapons in their hands flashing with cold light, like a group of cheetahs waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"They want to..." Before Beili finished speaking, one of the assassins suddenly moved.

His figure flashed like a black lightning and headed straight for a part of the formation.

There, the starlight seems slightly dim...

"Not good!" Elder Stardust growled.

The shadow assassin's target was the flaw that Elder Stardust deliberately left.

They understood each other tacitly and concentrated their strength on one point, like converging black streams, eventually forming a sharp black beam of light that pierced the weak point of the formation.

The starlight barrier trembled violently, making a buzzing sound as if it could not bear the heavy weight, as if it would collapse at any time.

Xiao Bei's heart sank. He knew that Elder Stardust did this to lure the enemy deeper, but the current situation was not optimistic.

He must make a choice.

At the critical moment, he stood in front of Beili without hesitation and used his body to withstand the fatal blow.

The black beam of light hit Xiao Bei with a bang. He groaned and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining his clothes red.

The powerful impact sent him flying several feet and he fell heavily to the ground.

Bei Li screamed and tried to break through the formation to save Xiao Bei, but was bounced back by an invisible force. She watched Xiao Bei fall in a pool of blood, her heart ached, despair and helplessness overwhelmed her like a tide.

The world seemed to have lost its sound, with only the echo of the bird's mournful cry lingering in my ears.

Xiao Bei struggled to stand up, shaky, but he still tried hard to force a smile to Bei Li, signaling her not to worry.

Bei Li's eyes were blurred with tears, and she looked at Xiao Bei's determined eyes, with mixed feelings in her heart.

At the critical moment of life and death, Xiao Bei still protected her behind him. This love is so deep and so heavy.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the surging blood in his body.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became sharp again.

He knew that he couldn't fall down because he still had people he had to protect.

He slowly raised his right hand, and within his palm, a strange light began to flicker...

"This is..." Elder Stardust's eyes fixed, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

The light in Xiao Bei's palm grew brighter and brighter. It was a strange energy that had never been seen before. It rippled like water and was as hot as flames. It finally condensed into an indestructible shield on his body surface.

The shield emitted a faint golden halo, as if composed of countless tiny runes, shimmering with a mysterious luster.

The assassins saw this, but to their surprise, the sharp blade not only did not hurt Xiao Bei at all, but was shattered by the recoil force of the shield. The assassins only felt severe pain in their arms, screamed in pain, staggered, and were forced to retreat.

Xiao Bei's eyes flashed, and he seized the opportunity. His feet moved like the wind, and he rushed out of the formation like an arrow from a bow. He waved the long sword in his hand, and the sword energy was overwhelming, like a dragon emerging from the sea, unstoppable.

The assassins were unable to fight back under the powerful sword energy. Their black clothes were torn, revealing bloody wounds. Screams rang out one after another, echoing through the forest.

Xiao Bei turned the blade of his sword and accurately grabbed the throat of an assassin. The tip of the sword was against his throat, and the cold murderous intent made the assassin stiff instantly.

"Tell me, who sent you here!" Xiao Bei's voice was as cold as ice, as if it was a judgment from hell.

The assassin's body trembled, his eyes filled with terror. Just as he was about to speak, his face suddenly twisted and his entire body began to twitch violently. His body was like a balloon that had been inflated to its limit. With a "bang", it burst open, blood and flesh flying everywhere. Only a cold whisper echoed in the air: "You...can't escape..."

Blood splattered on Xiao Bei's clothes, with a warm touch, and the strong smell of blood stimulated his nerves. He looked at the wreckage left after the assassin's self-explosion, his heart full of doubts.
