Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

"Please spare my life! I didn't know this was your shop!"

"Master Lu, please don't kill me! Please don't kill me! I even made a purchase here!"

Well... I only took one bottle of pills, I'll return it all.

"I'll even give you everything in my storage bag, please, Master Lu, spare me!"

"..."

Some of these cultivators knew Lu Zaian, while others did not.

But what they had in common was that they were all frantically begging for mercy.

"die!"

Lu Zaian didn't want to hear another word, so he flicked his finger and sent out several Water Moon Swords.

Swish swish! !

A group of cultivators' heads were tossed high into the air, blood gushing like a fountain!

However, three cultivators who had reached the Qi Refining stage unleashed their potential at the critical moment of life and death, breaking free from Lu Zaian's Foundation Establishment pressure.

They all leaped away to dodge the Water Moon Sword!

"Oh? It's no use, you still have to die!"

These three people surprised Lu Zaian slightly.

But that's about it.

The next moment, Lu Zaian flicked his finger and sent out several Water Moon Swords, blocking all of their movements.

"Do not!!"

The three could not escape their fate; their heads were severed from their bodies...

Having resolved all the tribulations, Lu Zaian was just beginning to relax.

Whizzing!

Two black streaks, as fast as lightning, shot straight towards his back!

Lu Zaian's ears twitched, and he couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over his body.

Danger! !! !!

In an instant, Lu Zaian's internal energy and blood suddenly erupted.

His body twisted in a strange way, and his hands curled into claws as he reached out to grab the two black lights!

【Flying Crane Demon - Intercept and Capture!】

Time seemed to slow down in that instant.

The illusory crane claw formed from qi and blood howled, like catching fish by splashing water, and intercepted the two black lights!

The immense impact sent Lu Zaian staggering backward, leaving two long tracks on the ground beneath his feet.

Upon closer inspection, what he was holding in his hand were two three-inch-long sharp nails, gushing out black smoke!

"Hidden Demon Nail?!"

Lu Zaian's expression changed slightly. He looked up at the direction from which the hidden weapon had come and coldly shouted:

"Who on earth dares to plot against me?!"

The Hidden Demon Nail is an extremely insidious, one-time-use magical artifact.

They acted discreetly.

Once implanted into a cultivator's body, it will simulate the aura of demonic possession, disrupting the cultivator's dantian and bloodline system.

It's as if he's lost most of his cultivation!

If it weren't for Lu Zaian's cultivation of the [Flying Crane Demon], which is skilled in capturing and cutting, he would have been able to achieve his goals.

They've probably fallen victim to the trap by now.

"Hehe, sir, it seems this Master Lu does have some skills."

"Hmph, it's normal for someone who cultivates both body and magic to have some skills."

Two figures appeared in a flash, a man and a woman, both with fierce eyes, and they commented on Lu Zaian without restraint.

"A pair of male and female bandits?"

Lu Zaian's eyes narrowed as he recognized the couple.

These two people had ordinary, unremarkable appearances; they would be considered the most ordinary people on the street.

However, Lu Zaian dared not underestimate them.

Because they were a notorious pair of male and female cultivators from the Northern Sky Domain, and both husband and wife were at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Hehe, I've been recognized..."

"Let's finish this quickly. If it weren't for the chaos in Huangze City, we wouldn't have had this chance to make a fortune..."

The two bandits, male and female, stared greedily at Lu Zaian.

They came to Huangze City to sell stolen goods while concealing their identities.

As it happened, a beast tide and a great battle broke out, plunging the entire Wasteland City into chaos.

Wasteland City was already incredibly wealthy, and with the City Lord's Mansion lineage usually in charge, no one dared to cause trouble.

Now all the rules have disappeared.

The whole city was filled with burning, killing, and looting.

Isn't this exactly what the two of them want?

After discussing it, they chose the nearest alchemy pavilion to ambush them.

I've heard that the owner behind Youjian Dange is none other than Lu Zaian, a somewhat famous alchemy master.

If we rob him, wouldn't we make a fortune?

That's how this whole thing happened.

"Oh no, it's a male and female duo! The Pavilion Master is probably in grave danger..."

Gu Xi, inside the Dan Pavilion, looked anxious. Just when the Pavilion Master had driven away the jackals, tigers and leopards appeared.

Moreover, these shop assistants couldn't be of any help in battles at the Foundation Establishment level.

"Do it!"

The male bandit was the first to move. He made a hand seal, and several explosive fireballs flew out from his body!

"I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

Lu Zaian's pupils contracted, and he also used the Water Moon Sword Technique, conjuring several Water Moon Swords that pierced towards the fireball.

"Hehe, what about me, Master Lu!"

The woman chuckled, and suddenly transformed into a writhing black shadow, disappearing from the spot.

"Dark Spirit Root?"

After all, she was a notorious bandit, and Lu Zaian had heard a little about this female bandit's methods.

Dark spiritual roots are mutated spiritual roots, making them very suitable for using stealth and assassination techniques.

Lu Zaian probed with his divine sense, searching inch by inch, but could not find any trace of her.

There's definitely something to it.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Zaian had exchanged several blows with the male bandit.

However, because he had to be constantly on guard against the female bandits' sneak attacks, Lu Zaian quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Hahaha, take this!"

The male bandit suddenly shouted and unleashed a move called "Wildfire Spreads".

A vast curtain of fire rose, domineering and scorching, filling Lu Zaian's field of vision and sweeping towards him!

Lu Zaian had no choice but to unleash his full power, and a sword formation composed of hundreds of Water Moon Swords crisscrossed as he slashed at the curtain of fire!

And just as Lu Zaian made his move.

At the same time, a dark shadow shot out from the ground behind him, launching a swift and deadly shadow attack!

At this moment, Lu Zaian's old strength had just been unleashed, and his new strength had not yet been generated, making it the perfect time for a sneak attack.

"Drink! I've been waiting for you!"

Lu Zaian roared, "If I've exhausted my magic power, I'll exchange it for the power of my blood and qi!"

His blood and qi surged violently, and a monstrous aura condensed into a phantom of a demonic beast behind him.

【The Savage Bear!】

A phantom of a black-winged flying bear roared to the sky and swung its paws to grab at the shadows behind it!

"Hehe, Master Lu has been fooled!"

The bear's paw slammed down, but the dark shadow suddenly burst open like a dream bubble.

At the same time, a mocking voice came from the curtain of fire in front of Lu Zaian.

Accompanied by a mocking sound, a chilling shadow blade emerged from the curtain of fire!

Amidst a sea of ​​fire, a single black dot pierces Lu Zai'an's heart!

"Oops!"

Lu Zaian's pupils shrank sharply; it was a trap within a trap!

A feint attack in one direction while striking in another!

First, the male bandit unleashed a massive fire curtain attack to attract his attention.

Then the female bandit creates a feint attack from behind him.

The real killing move is hidden in the curtain of fire in front of him!

If an ordinary person encountered these two, they would certainly be wary of the female bandit's sneak attack from behind.

Little did they know that this was a scheme within a scheme.

Although Lu Zaian had cultivated for many years, he did not have much experience in fighting others, and he was caught off guard at this moment!

At a critical juncture.

Lu Zaian could only grit his teeth and forcefully twist his body to avoid his heart.

The shadow blade pierced through his left rib in an instant, slicing off a large piece of bloody flesh!

"hiss!"

Lu Zaian trembled, but took the opportunity to retreat rapidly and create distance.

The pain is secondary.

However, there was also a strange shadow power within that shadow blade.

It frantically burrowed into the wound, eroding his flesh and veins...
