Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

Blocking the path of Gu Xingzhi and his companions was a man dressed in a blood-red brocade robe.

Because he was wearing a half-mask, Gu Xingzhi and the other two could not see the man's face clearly at all. They could only vaguely make out from the exposed lower half of his face with a beard that the man must be quite old.

"Did the three of you kill Ma San Niang?"

The man in the red robe looked at Gu Xingzhi and the other two and asked.

"That's right!" Tang Shuwen stepped forward and said sternly, "That Ma Sanniang harmed innocent children with cruel and vicious methods, she deserved to die! And who are you? Why are you blocking our way?"

Gu Xingzhi and Zhang Yaozong also stepped forward at the same time, standing solemnly beside Tang Shuwen.

—The visitor is up to no good!

This person is most likely an accomplice of Ma San Niang, and I doubt they will be allowed to leave easily!

The man in red glanced at Qi Changqing, who was being shielded by Gu Xingzhi and the other two, and said in a calm tone:

“My name is Cui Kaishan. More than ten years ago, I had a little reputation in the martial arts world. If you three juniors are willing to hand over the boy behind you to me honestly, I might be happy and leave you with a whole corpse.”

"Cui Kaishan—you are the 'Blood Demon'?!"

Gu Xingzhi was startled.

"impossible!"

Zhang Yaozong looked at the middle-aged man who claimed to be Cui Kaishan and asked in surprise, "The Blood Demon died ten years ago under the siege of the Imperial Guard. How could he have reappeared here now!"

Tang Shuwen was equally astonished by this.

More than a decade ago, the Blood Demon appeared out of nowhere, and with his evil skill "Blood Refining Technique", he harmed countless innocent people and martial artists.

Because cultivating the "Blood Refining Technique" requires constantly drinking human blood, both the imperial court and various martial arts sects deeply abhorred this Blood Demon! Eventually, both sides reached a consensus to jointly dispatch forces to hunt down and exterminate the Blood Demon.

Although the Blood Demon was incredibly powerful, he was far from reaching the Grandmaster level. Therefore, under the joint siege of the imperial court and various sects, he was quickly defeated and killed! And the ones who killed the Blood Demon were the experts from the Imperial Guard.

After the Blood Demon was defeated, the imperial court specially cut off its head and hung it outside the city gate to announce the matter to the world.

Many people went there specifically to confirm that the severed head was indeed that of the Blood Demon!

The demon who had been dead for ten years, right before everyone's eyes, suddenly reappeared before them. No one could believe or accept that.

Faced with the questions raised by Gu Xingzhi and the other two, the man who claimed to be Cui Kaishan did not seem to want to defend himself, nor did he seem to care to do so.

In his eyes, the three people in front of him were no different from the dead.

"Whether I am the Blood Demon or not, you will soon find out! Don't blame me for bullying the weak; blame yourselves for meddling in other people's business."

Before Cui Kaishan could finish speaking, he vanished from the spot like a ghost.

When he reappeared, he was already standing right in front of Tang Shuwen!

"not good!"

Tang Shuwen was terrified when she saw Cui Kaishan suddenly appear before her and give her a sinister smile. She immediately swung her sword at him.

When faced with Tang Shuwen's twin swords, Cui Kaishan showed no intention of dodging. Instead, he met the attack head-on with a palm strike, blocking the swords in mid-air.

Tang Shuwen felt an exceptionally powerful surge of true energy erupt from that palm strike, instantly blasting towards her through the twin swords.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Gu Xingzhi and Zhang Yaozong reacted, Tang Shuwen had already coughed up blood and was flying backward.

With just one move, Tang Shuwen was rendered unable to fight, and the difference in strength between the two was obvious!

At this extremely dangerous moment, Gu Xingzhi and Zhang Yaozong had no time to think and immediately joined forces to attack Cui Kaishan.

Escape was out of the question; the only thing they could do now was fight to the death!

They no longer doubted Cui Kaishan's identity.

Given the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, they were likely already doomed in the eyes of the other.

There is absolutely no need to lie about the dead!

As Zhang Yaozong, Gu Xingzhi, and Cui Kaishan clashed, Tang Shuwen, her face deathly pale, endured the excruciating pain, propped herself up on one arm, looked at Qi Changqing, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Xiao Changqing, quick, run! Those two can't hold us off for long!"

At this moment, she understood perfectly well that the real culprit who harmed the children was Cui Kaishan, who cultivated the "Blood Refining Technique"! Ma Sanniang was merely a decoy used to cover up the truth!

"I can't leave."

Qi Changqing shook his head resolutely, then immediately knelt down in front of Tang Shuwen, took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out a pill, and quickly fed it into Tang Shuwen's mouth.

"Sister, quickly circulate your internal energy to dissolve the pill! This pill was refined by the Master, and it has miraculous effects on treating internal injuries!"

Because Qi Changqing moved so quickly, by the time the severely injured Tang Shuwen reacted, the pill had already slipped into her mouth. Therefore, at this moment, she could only follow Qi Changqing's instructions, swallow the pill, and slowly circulate her internal energy to dissolve it.

Soon, something shocking happened to her!

She circulated her internal energy, and in no time at all, the excruciating pain in her chest had been significantly relieved! Her complexion had also improved considerably!

"--this!"

Tang Shuwen had never heard of such a miraculous elixir before!

As the elixir was slowly absorbed, Tang Shuwen's internal injuries began to heal at an extremely rapid pace.

But before she could even feel happy, she saw Gu Xingzhi and Zhang Yaozong both defeated and seriously injured by Cui Kaishan, rolling to the side, barely alive.

A sense of powerlessness suddenly welled up in Tang Shuwen's heart.

Even if the pills Qi Changqing gave her were extremely potent, it wouldn't help.

The gap in strength between them and Cui Kaishan was simply too great. Even if the three of them were restored to their peak condition, it would still not change their current situation.

As Cui Kaishan walked towards her step by step, Tang Shuwen, whose injuries had improved, looked resolute.

As she gritted her teeth, preparing to stand up and fight Cui Kaishan to the death, Qi Changqing gently placed her small hands on her shoulders and pressed her back down.

Tang Shuwen, who was obediently pushed back, looked at Qi Changqing with disbelief.

She never expected that this boy, who was not even ten years old, would possess internal strength!

And his internal energy cultivation is no weaker than hers!

"My older brothers and sisters have been protecting me all along, now it's my turn to protect you."

Qi Changqing looked serious, picked up the longsword from Tang Shuwen's hand, and turned to look at Cui Kaishan.

Upon seeing this, Cui Kaishan immediately stopped in his tracks, looking at Qi Changqing, who was holding a sword and facing him, with a surprised expression, and said with a hint of amusement:

"Little brat, you want to fight me?"

"Evil devils and heretics, everyone will find them and kill them!"

Qi Changqing's expression was serious. He twirled his sword and pointed the tip at Cui Kaishan.

Upon hearing Qi Changqing speak these righteous words in his childish voice, Cui Kaishan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
