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

Just as the water sword was about to pierce Shen Tu Xiong, a red figure suddenly appeared from behind and blocked the way.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

The water sword shattered instantly, but the red shadow remained unmoved, like an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron.

"Oh?"

Lu Zaian's heart sank. He hadn't expected that the water sword he had solidified with his magic power would be blocked by a mortal.

Or rather... is this even considered a mortal?

The red figure was none other than Shen Tu Rong, who had suddenly rushed forward just now.

His red funeral robe, which he had been wearing, was now torn, revealing his strong physique.

His fair skin was covered in bulging muscles, as solid and hard as heavy granite, with veins bulging on his muscles like earthworms wriggling...

He just blocked Lu Zaian's attack with his own body!

"Is this an 80-year-old man? Are you kidding me?"

Lu Zaian was dumbfounded. Could this old gang leader in front of him also be a cultivator?

its not right?

Lu Zaian carefully sensed that Shen Tu Rong clearly had no magical fluctuations.

Shen Tu Rong twisted his neck comfortably, making a "crackling" sound.

He took a deep breath, his temples bulging, and his aura was like that of a lion awakening.

"Fisherman, you must be the legendary cultivator?!"

Shen Tu Rong stared intently at Lu Zai'an with piercing eyes, his aura growing stronger with each word he uttered.

It actually subtly surpassed Lu Zaian's aura.

"You actually know about cultivators?"

Lu Zaian was surprised. This area, spanning a hundred miles, was all mortal world, with depleted spiritual veins and no trace of cultivators. Most of the mortals living here were unaware that there were cultivators in the world.

Shen Tu Rong's expression was somber, his muscles bulging with power, resembling a magnificent gorilla spreading its back. He said in a cold voice:

"Hmph, cultivators? I've lived for so many years, I naturally know a thing or two about them."

"Unfortunately, judging from your low cultivation level, regardless of any grudges you may have against my Slaughter Gang, you dare to come to our door today. I cannot let you leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tu Rong roared and suddenly stomped on the floor, crashing into Lu Zai'an with a fierce gust of wind.

"So fast!"

Lu Zaian frowned, and with a surge of magical power beneath his feet, he lightly tapped his foot, barely managing to dodge Shen Tu Rong's fist.

When his first strike failed, Shen Tu Rong changed his fist into an elbow and smashed it hard at Lu Zai'an's head.

Lu Zaian slightly turned his body to dodge the elbow strike, and at the same time raised his hand to conjure a water blade, slashing at Shen Tu Rong's arm.

"Qiang!"

The sound of clashing metal rang out again, and a faint white mark appeared on Shen Tu Rong's muscular arm.

"This kind of physical body is too outrageous!"

The man before him, Shen Tu Rong, was eighty years old, yet he had a full head of black hair and a strong, robust physique, impervious to swords and blades, clearly no longer belonging to the mortal realm.

"Hahaha, you can't break through my defense. I know that your so-called magical power as cultivators is limited. Once you're exhausted, you'll be at my mercy!"

Shen Tu Rong laughed heartily, feeling emboldened, and continued to press forward, launching a relentless attack on Lu Zai'an with his fists and feet.

"How dare a mere mortal speak so presumptuously?"

Although Lu Zaian had not yet found any weakness in Shen Tu Rong's defenses, he naturally would not back down verbally.

However, close-quarters combat is unwise.

Shen Tu Rong had clearly trained his entire body into a killing weapon comparable to refined iron.

Lu Zaian mainly relied on the magic power of the second level of Qi Refining, but his body was still fragile, and he dared not withstand Shen Tu Rong's melee attacks.

Lu Zaian leaped out and created distance, his hands forming hand seals, instantly conjuring several sharp water swords in front of him, aiming at Shen Tu Rong's head!

"disease!"

The water sword pierced towards Shen Tu Rong in an instant!

Shen Tu Rong's head was clearly a weak point in the defensive wave. Seeing that he had no time to dodge, Shen Tu Rong quickly crossed his arms and put them in front of his forehead!

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

The water sword shattered again, and bloodstains appeared on Shen Tu Rong's forearm.

"Hahaha, this level of attack is nothing more than a tickle!"

Shen Tu Rong lowered his arms, his bloodshot pupils fixed on Lu Zai'an, and charged at him again.

"Haha, Father is mighty!"

"The old gang leader is mighty! Kill this guy! Long live the Slaughter Gang!"

Seeing that Shen Tu Rong had the upper hand, Shen Tu Xiong and his gang became arrogant again, raising their arms and shouting for Shen Tu Rong.

"I never expected that the old leader, who had been silent for over twenty years, would suddenly reveal such a stunning skill. What kind of technique is this? It seems to be something otherworldly. Could it be that there really are immortals in this world?"

"I had long heard that the old gang leader was incredibly skilled in martial arts when he was young, but I never imagined that he would still be at eighty years old and even more proficient than before..."

"Today has truly been an eye-opening experience. But who exactly is this fisherman? How could he possibly possess such magical abilities?"

Guests who had not yet left the scene hid behind tables, chairs, or screens, watching the battle unfold and whispering among themselves.

Lu Zaian channeled his magic power, launching continuous attacks on Shen Tu Rong's body, but he still couldn't do anything to him and couldn't break through his defenses at all.

"Strange, truly strange. Can mortals really train their physical skills to this extent?"

Lu Zaian frowned. Although his magical power had improved considerably after breaking through to the second level of Qi Refining, he had squandered it all and now only had 40% left in his body.

Raindrops continued to fall from the sky, and the continuous spring rain suddenly intensified...

Standing in the rain, Lu Zaian couldn't defeat Shen Tu Rong after a long time, and the thought of retreating began to take hold. His own way out was the most important thing; as long as he was alive, he could always find a way to fight again.

Once my cultivation level is raised to another level, I refuse to believe I can't break through Shen Tu Rong's tortoise shell.

"Hahaha, you've run out of tricks, haven't you? It's my turn!"

Seeing that Lu Zaian had stopped his ranged attack, Shen Tu Rong laughed loudly and charged forward triumphantly, delivering a powerful whip kick to Lu Zaian's temple!

The strong wind coming from the front forced Lu Zaian to dodge again, and a wooden beam the size of a bowl behind him was directly blown apart!

"Useless! Useless! Die!!"

Shen Tu Rong lunged forward, giving Lu Zai'an no chance to catch his breath, his feet moving in rapid succession, almost leaving afterimages!

Lu Zaian had no choice but to dodge again; with his old bones, he'd be covered in bruises if he got hit...

Shen Tu Rong swept away all obstacles along the way, such as tables, chairs, and pillars, or turned them into powder.

'etc……'

Lu Zaian noticed that the increasingly heavy rain had soaked Shen Tu Rong completely.

Wow…

The rain intensified, pooling and flowing down Shen Tu Rong's bare muscles.

Lu Zaian felt a jolt of inspiration and had an idea...

Immediately, Lu Zaian threw out two water swords, aiming straight for Shen Tu Rong's eyes, forcing him back again!

Shen Tu Rong wiped the rain off his face and sneered indifferently:

"Give up! How much magic power do you have left? I, on the other hand, have plenty of stamina; I can smash you into mincemeat!"

The two faced off in the rain, the downpour blurring the distance between them and creating a tense atmosphere.

Lu Zaian suddenly laughed, pointed to the sky, and said inexplicably:

"Shen Tu Rong, the tide has turned in my favor, you're the one who deserves to die, try this trick!"
