Fairy bestows immortality

Su Yun swung his holy sword, while the old man was almost completely enveloped by the Dao fire and was about to escape.

The next moment, with a soft "plop" and a scream, the old man's figure disappeared from the spot.

On the spot, only an arm and half of a shoulder remained, still bleeding and twitching on their own.

"Did he still manage to escape?"

Su Yun frowned slightly and shook his head.

A cultivator at the half-step True Fire realm possesses mysterious strength and methods, making it truly difficult for him to fully comprehend them.

"If I hadn't used a trick to make this old guy relax at the last moment, I probably wouldn't have been able to really seriously injure him. He could have escaped at any time."

He sighed with some emotion, realizing that cultivators' abilities had indeed become much stronger after surpassing the Life Palace realm.

After all, the True Fire Realm is the crystallization of one's true Dao techniques, and one can only enter it by cultivating one's various Dao techniques to a certain level. None of them are easy to deal with; they all have their own trump cards and unique skills.

"However, piercing his life palace and severing half of his shoulder and left arm is enough to cripple him, making it impossible for him to make any progress in this life. Whether he can even survive is another matter."

Su Yun grinned. Fortunately, he had cultivated the protective divine light within the past ten days, which delivered a fatal blow to the old man at the crucial moment, allowing him to achieve the reversal of fortune and ascend to the heavens.

But at this moment, he felt weak and dizzy, and cold sweat broke out all over him.

That last attempt to activate the divine statue technique was indeed his last, pushing him to his limit. If he had failed, his situation would have been extremely dangerous.

At this point, the effects of the divine statue's secret method completely disappeared, and he was finally unable to sustain himself any longer.

He took out some precious resources, swallowed them, and used them to replenish his energy before quickly leaving the place.

The consumption of divine idol secret techniques cannot be replenished by external forces, because it consumes one's true essence, which requires a certain amount of time to recover. Resources obtained from external forces can only play a supporting role.

This is why he can only activate it a maximum of ten times.

Otherwise, with his resource reserves, he could recover indefinitely until he exhausted the old man and killed him!

He quickly returned to his previous cave.

This place is well hidden, so even if others are drawn by the battle, they won't find it.

He immersed himself in the cave again for about five days, fully recovering to his peak condition and consolidating the application of his protective divine light.

Five days later, he lifted the restrictions and stepped out of the cave.

"This time, finally no one is ambushing me."

Su Yun sighed.

Fortunately, that old guy didn't have any ancient artifacts, otherwise he would have been defeated and would never have been a match for him.

He traversed the void and first arrived at the nearest small town. At one of the restaurants, he ordered a spiritual meal and tasted spiritual wine to cleanse himself of the dust of travel.

This place is Ziyan Tiancheng, a small town outside the mountains.

As Su Yun walked down the street, he did spot some cultivators at the Life Palace level, but not many; most of them were below the second level of the Life Palace realm.

He took a rare moment to relax, drinking spiritual wine and eating some spiritual items.

After Yi Ling left, I inquired about his safety and was relieved to hear that he had gotten rid of that old man.

However, he was unaware that he would later engage in a real life-or-death battle with his opponent, and with great difficulty severely injure him.

As Su Yun ate, he listened to several cultivators not far away talking animatedly about matters concerning the cultivation world.

"Have you heard? A few days ago, there was a big battle in the distant mountains. Rumor has it that it was a half-step True Fire Realm cultivator from the Jiang family fighting with someone!"

At this moment, such a sentence immediately caught Su Yun's attention.

He paused slightly as he picked up the spirit wine.

Jiang family?

He was startled. Could these people be talking about his battle with that old man?

"Really? The Jiang family? The top-tier Jiang family? There don't seem to be any Jiang family properties around here, but members of the Jiang family have come to the vicinity?"

"Of course it's true. Not only that, I also heard that the half-step True Fire cultivator from the Jiang family was severely injured and on the verge of death, and even had an arm cut off. His life palace seems to have been seriously damaged!"

"Wow! Is there really such explosive news? Why haven't I heard much about it from others?"

During the conversation, the other cultivators were puzzled and very curious, as they had never heard of this matter before.

"Naturally, no one said much, because this matter was disgraceful to the Jiang family. It was said that a young cultivator went against the grain and seriously injured him."

"There are several Jiang family cultivators near Ziyan Tiancheng, but the news of this matter has been blocked. I only know about it because I know someone from a Jiang family affiliated force."

"Because that half-step True Fire cultivator from the Jiang family is recuperating within their territory!"

Hearing this, Su Yun, who was not far away, was speechless.

He was speechless, unsure of what to say.

The old man who had been chasing him for over ten days was actually a cultivator from the Jiang family?!

Based on what that cultivator said, it can be basically confirmed that he is a cultivator from the Jiang family.

"I never expected that before I even started searching for the Jiang family's cultivators, I would almost accidentally kill a half-step True Fire cultivator from the Jiang family on the way."

Su Yun shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

If he hadn't come here and heard this person mention it, he would still be completely unaware of this matter.

"This is a bit troublesome." He stroked his chin.
