Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

"kill!"

"Protect the master!"

In the woods, a group of bandits were robbing a merchant caravan. The guards fought back, but the bandits were too powerful and the guards gradually lost their resistance.

Suddenly, a sharp flute sound was heard, and the song "Swordsman" came from far away.

"It's Mei Yan and his companions!"

"We are saved!" The caravan guards were overjoyed and fought more bravely.

"Let's run!" The robbers panicked and turned around and ran away.

In the distance, two riders approached hand in hand. Their horses were tall and mighty, evidently fine horses. A young man and woman, both about fourteen or fifteen, sat on their backs. The boy had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a sunny and handsome demeanor, his long hair casually flowing. He wore a white robe and a sword at his waist—a truly dashing young man. The girl had rosy lips, a delicate and lovely figure. She wore a high ponytail, a pink dress, and a sword at her waist—a truly heroic and beautiful young woman. These two were Liu Xing and Dongfang Qing. Liu Xing had sensed a robbery two kilometers ahead, so he played his flute to alarm the enemy and galloped off to rescue them.

"Brother Xing, your flute music is so beautiful! I'll never tire of it." Qing'er was incredibly happy. Liu Xing had finally stopped her from suffering and starving. He had annihilated the Black Wind Twins and the Sirius Fort, and had amassed ten thousand taels of silver. He was free to buy her anything she desired, delicious or beautiful, but the strict rules of reading and practicing martial arts remained. Along the way, they rode on fine horses and bravely fought for justice. To outsiders, they were just a pair of lovers, earning the title "Mei Yan Chivalrous Couple," a truly impressive sight. Before each attack, Liu Xing would play the flute to startle the enemy, signaling his presence. So, every time the flute sounded, some were overjoyed, others panicked.

In just half an incense stick of time, Liu Xing and his companions arrived at the scene, and the bandits hadn't gotten far. The caravan's owner, an elderly man, hurriedly got out of his car and expressed his gratitude for driving the bandits away.

"Thank you both for saving our lives." Everyone clasped their fists to express their gratitude.

"Heroes, you're welcome. We'll go chase the enemy right away. Take care, everyone." Liu Xing immediately clasped his fists and quickly chased forward with Qing'er.

In a matter of moments, they caught up with the bandit leader. Qing'er leaped from his horse and killed the leader with just a few strikes. Qing'er's skills had deepened, and Liu Xing nodded in satisfaction. Killing the leader terrified the others, and they would likely be traumatized for the rest of their lives. Liu Xing didn't kill them all, but only the ringleader, then rode away.

Similar scenes had occurred frequently over the past six months. Along the way, they encountered injustice and would draw their swords to help. They didn't kill many, but their reputation was immense. Furthermore, this golden boy and beautiful girl, both talented and beautiful, had drawn the envy and hatred of the chivalrous warriors and young heroes of the sects and gangs. Feeling dissatisfied, they often challenged them.

Qing'er became his thug. Liu Xing didn't bother to fight anyone below the peak of his acquired powers, leaving Qing'er to fight them all. Consequently, Qing'er's combat prowess improved significantly during this period. Few young men under the age of twenty-five could rival Qing'er. Those over the age of twenty-five were too embarrassed to fight, fearing the accusation of bullying.

"Have you heard that the Pingshan Swordsman also lost to the Meiyan Couple?" At this moment, in a teahouse in the market, the tea drinkers were discussing the hot news. The most talked about story these days was undoubtedly the Meiyan Couple, and wherever they went, they were the focus of people's discussion.

"What a nobody, the Pingshan swordsman. He's just a defeated opponent. I'm going to go meet the damn Meiyan couple and teach them a lesson." At the next table, there was a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old. He had a sword on his waist and looked very imposing. It was obvious that he was the descendant of a celebrity and his swordsmanship was extraordinary.

"Wow, who are you, you rat, talking nonsense here? Wait until you win before you brag." No one believed it. There were too many people bragging, and everyone who went to challenge was bragging.

"You guys are short-sighted. My senior brother Chang Feng is a direct disciple of the Sword Sect. It's easy for him to defeat swindlers like Mei Yan and his partner." The junior brother next to the young hero said unconvinced.

Hearing that he was a disciple of the Sword Sect, a top-tier sect, everyone fell silent. Chang Feng, elated, stood up and led his fellow apprentices to look for Mei Yan and his companions.

Liu Xing and the other person were heading for the Sword Sect, as only these large sects could help Liu Xing find the answers he wanted.

As expected, Chang Feng was no match for Qing'er and was defeated after a few moves. With the stepping stone of being the direct disciple of the Sword Sect, the reputation of the Mei Yan couple is now even more famous.

Lately, Dongfang Qing has been eating and drinking well, feeling cheerful and cheerful. His martial arts skills have improved rapidly, and he's been full of energy and chatter to Liu Xing endlessly. While Liu Xing was dealing with Qing'er, he was contemplating his next move. He was going to try his skills against a Xiantian master and see if he could defeat him. If he could defeat the Xiantian, he would force his way into the three major sects and force them to submit. If he was no match for the Xiantian master, he would sneak into the sect to find the answer, and his disguise would be invisible to the Xiantian.

That evening, Liu Xing and his companions were galloping forward, preparing to cross the hill before dark and rest at the inn ahead. Suddenly, they spotted an old man in black sitting unnoticed on a rock ahead. Liu Xing sensed a moment of shock and was startled. "An innate master." Liu Xing sensed the old man's internal energy like a raging wave, poised to burst forth at any moment, far more powerful than that of the Eastern Tycoon. He instantly braced himself and warned Qing'er to be careful, as something was happening ahead.

"Mei Yan and His Lover, what a majestic name! Why don't you leave it to me?" The black old man said sarcastically.

Liu Xing immediately pulled the reins to a halt, then rolled onto the road, facing the old man. Qing'er quickly reined in her horse, flanking nearby, keeping an eye out for ambushes. This was the tacit understanding the two had developed over the past year of daily companionship.

"You really have some skills. It's not unfair that my two bad disciples died in your hands. You ran very fast all the way, making it easy for me to find you." The old man looked at Liu Xing.

"The Black Wind Twins?" Liu Xing asked tentatively.

"It is precisely this bad disciple." The old man replied.

"The Black Wind Twins are a scourge to the martial arts world, and anyone must punish them! You are a master, but you taught disciples with such bad behavior, so you must not be a good person!" Liu Xing shouted.

"Hehe, the young man may not be very capable, but he's quite arrogant. I'll take care of the family, and it's not up to outsiders to take his life. You guys go down and join them."

Liu Xing knew that he couldn't end it peacefully, so he decided to fight. It would be a good opportunity to test the strength of the innate master. So he drew his sword and attacked the black old man with a move of "Sage Pointing the Way".

"Come on." The old man in black also drew out his sword, and the two of them started fighting together.

Dongfang Qing was extremely nervous. This black old man was a master of innate skills, and she wasn't sure if Brother Xing could defeat him. She could only retreat far away to avoid being affected by the energies and distracting Liu Xing. In a fight of this level, she couldn't help at all. She was now deeply frustrated, hating herself for not being able to help Brother Xing. She vowed to practice harder in the future and not let Brother Xing down.
