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

"The real battle..." Xiao Bei's voice was low, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk as he scanned the seemingly peaceful mountains around him. "It has just begun..."

The joy of victory did not last long, and a lingering sense of unease enveloped Xiao Bei.

He gently stroked Beili's soft long hair, but his fingertips unconsciously tensed.

The sun shone on his face, warm and gentle, but he felt an inexplicable chill.

Bei Li noticed something was wrong with Xiao Bei, raised his head, and his clear eyes were full of concern: "Xiao Bei, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Bei shook his head and forced a smile: "It's okay, it's just... I always feel like something is wrong." He looked around, his gaze lingering for a moment on the distant mountains and forests, where there seemed to be a barely perceptible black mist flashing by.

A sudden scream broke the brief silence.

In the distance, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed from the direction of a village.

Xiao Bei's expression changed: "Not good!"

Almost at the same time, a disgusting stench wafted in the wind, accompanied by a beast-like roar.

Several monsters emitting black mist appeared at the edge of the village. Their eyes were bloodshot, their claws flashed with cold light, and they were frantically attacking the terrified villagers.

"It's the remaining power of the Shadow Demon Lord!" Elder Stardust's face was solemn, and he slammed the crutch in his hand, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"Oh my god!" Xiao Bei drew out his sword without hesitation. The sword emitted a crisp dragon roar, and his figure turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the monster.

The sword flashed, a cold light appeared, black blood splattered, and the monsters touched by the sword energy instantly turned into ashes.

Beili followed closely behind, and with a slight wave of her hand, golden runes flew out, forming a protective barrier around the villagers, keeping the monsters out.

There was a determined light in her eyes, but her tone was filled with a hint of anger: "Xiao Bei, wait for me!"

Xuanfeng used tracking skills and quickly locked onto a monster that was extremely large and exuded a stronger dark aura.

"Found it, it's their leader!" He shouted and chased after it like a cheetah.

Elder Stardust held a cane and muttered something. Complex runes spread across the ground, forming a huge barrier that enveloped the entire village and prevented the monsters from escaping.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the number of monsters far exceeded expectations. They attacked Beili's protective barrier fearlessly and let out bursts of creepy roars.

Xiao Bei swung his sword and killed a monster that tried to attack the villagers, but his eyes fell on an inconspicuous corner in the distance.

There, a black mist was gathering silently...

His heart sank and an ominous premonition came over him.

"Beili, be careful!" Xiao Bei turned around suddenly, only to see...

Xiao Bei's sword edge paused, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes.

Are these monsters remnants of a force or new threats?

If it is a new threat, who is behind it?

Why did he choose to appear at this time?

His chaotic thoughts disrupted his attack rhythm, and his originally sharp sword moves became a little slower.

A monster took the opportunity to attack with its claws. Xiao Bei barely dodged it, but his sleeve was torn, revealing a shallow bloodstain on his arm.

The fishy smell became stronger, stimulating Xiao Bei's sense of smell.

He felt nauseous and his stomach churned.

But he endured the discomfort and swung his sword to drive back the besieging monsters.

In the distance, the cries of villagers, the roars of monsters, and the clash of weapons intertwined together, forming a chaotic symphony of battlefield.

At this moment, a golden light flashed, and Beili's figure shot towards the monster leader like an arrow.

She was surrounded by dazzling golden runes, like a god of war, with an imposing aura.

"Beili!" Xiao Bei exclaimed. He didn't expect Beili to take such a risk.

The monster leader was obviously caught off guard by Beili's sudden attack.

It let out a deafening roar and waved its huge claws, trying to force Beili back.

However, Beili was faster.

She nimbly dodged the attacks of the monster leader, while forming seals with her hands and muttering something.

The golden runes gathered into a huge ball of light in her hands, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

"Tiangang Divine Thunder!" Beili shouted, and the ball of light turned into a golden lightning, striking the monster leader fiercely.

A shrill scream resounded through the valley, and the huge body of the monster leader was blown away and fell heavily to the ground. After struggling for a few times, he became motionless.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Bei and others were all stunned.

They didn't expect that Beili could deal with the monster leader so easily.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, something strange happened.

The monsters that had been defeated suddenly stopped attacking. Their eyes flickered with strange lights and turned in unison...

Villagers in the village.

A smaller monster grabbed a crying little girl, pressed its sharp claws against her neck, and uttered a hoarse threat, "If you don't want her to die, put down your weapons!"

The monster's action of holding the villagers hostage instantly turned the tide of the battle.

The cries of the villagers and the screams of the children pierced the hearts of Xiao Bei and others like sharp knives.

Xiao Bei could feel the sweat oozing from his palms, sticky and cold, just like the anxiety in his heart at the moment.

The air around seemed to freeze, and an oppressive atmosphere spread. Only the sound of the wind was sobbing, like the whisper of death.

Beili felt a tightness in her heart when she saw Xiao Bei's angry and helpless expression.

She could feel Xiao Bei's inner struggle and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

She gave Xiao Bei a firm look. Xiao Bei felt Bei Li's trust, and his heart warmed, and a warm current flowed through his body.

In the fishy air, he smelled a hint of Beili's unique fragrance, a faint scent of plum blossoms, which made him feel safe and peaceful.

He picked himself up again. Beili's trust in him was his greatest source of strength.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He carefully observed the surrounding situation, looking for an opportunity to break through.

He noticed that the monster holding the little girl hostage was smaller in size and relatively slower in speed, and its attention was mainly focused on the hostage, and its vigilance had decreased.

This is an opportunity, a chance to win with one strike.

He needed a plan, one that could rescue the hostages without harming innocent people.

He quietly winked at Elder Xingchen and Xuanfeng, and the three of them understood and began to slowly adjust their positions, forming a circle to surround the monster holding the hostages.

Xiao Bei's fingers gently rubbed the hilt of the sword, feeling the cold touch of the sword. His heartbeat began to accelerate, and blood rushed in his veins. He could feel the spiritual power in his body surging rapidly, ready to go.

"Don't come over!" The monster that was holding the little girl hostage noticed the intention of Xiao Bei and others. It let out a hoarse warning and its sharp claws pierced deeper into the little girl's skin. A trace of blood flowed down the little girl's neck, which was shocking.

Xiao Bei's eyes flashed with a cold light.

He slowly raised the long sword in his hand, pointed the blade directly at the monster, and said in a cold and firm tone: "Let her go."

"You..." The monster hadn't finished speaking when it suddenly felt the air around it become extremely cold. A powerful pressure emanated from Xiao Bei, making it unable to breathe.

It raised its head in fear and saw a light flashing in Xiao Bei's eyes that it had never seen before. It was a kind of...

"I..." Xiao Bei's lips moved.

Xiao Bei's lips moved, and he finally uttered a cold word: "Die!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed and turned into a shadow, approaching the monster holding the hostage at lightning speed.

The monster only felt a flash before its eyes, and then felt a chill on its neck, and its sharp claws subconsciously loosened.

Beili quickly caught the little girl and protected her behind him.

At the same time, Xiao Bei's spiritual power surged out like a tide, and instantly transformed into dozens of clones, surrounding the remaining monsters.

The clones held lightsabers in their hands, and the sword lights intersected like a net, trapping the monsters inside.

The monsters roared in fear, but were unable to break through the layers of sword nets.

The real Xiao Bei has already approached the monster leader.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he swung the long sword in his hand, releasing a sharp sword energy.

The sword energy cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and with overwhelming force, it instantly cut the monster leader in half.

Black blood gushed out, emitting a disgusting stench.

The monster leader let out a shrill scream, and his huge body collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Without a leader, the remaining monsters immediately became chaotic and fled in all directions.

Xiao Bei's spiritual clone chased after them relentlessly, sword light flashing, killing all the monsters one by one.

The battle was over, and the air was filled with the strong smell of blood and burnt fur.

The villagers came back to their senses from their terror, and they all knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Xiao Bei and others, thanking them for saving their lives.

Xiao Bei retracted his spiritual clone, walked to the corpse of the monster leader, squatted down, and examined it carefully.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a strange mark on the monster leader's chest.

It was a black rune with a strange shape, emitting a faint black mist.

Xiao Bei reached out and touched the rune, and a cold chill instantly spread throughout his body.

He frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.

He carefully removed the rune from the monster leader's body and held it in his hand.

The rune feels cold to the touch, like a piece of ice, and exudes a strange aura.

Xiao Bei stood up and looked at the rune in his hand. He had never seen this rune before. What did it represent?

What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this?

He clutched the rune tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white.

"Xiao Bei..." Bei Li walked to his side and called softly.

Xiao Bei turned to look at Bei Li with a complicated look.

He slowly spread out his palm, revealing the black rune in his hand.

"What is this?" Beili asked in confusion.

Xiao Bei didn't answer, but stared at the rune in his hand, his eyes...
