How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

"You're just a little kid at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, trying to resist? Hahaha!"

The old ghost of the withered mountain laughed disdainfully, his bone-crushing claws viciously clawing at the Golden Gang Curse, while his other hand instantly turned iron-blue as he reached for the Wine Immortal Sword.

"clang!"

The sound of steel clanging came from the Golden Gang Incantation, and Tianxuan's immense power forced Li Muyun back several steps.

Li Muyun was not afraid at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He did not expect that this old ghost of Kushan would be so arrogant as to dare to grab the Wine Immortal Sword that he had used to unleash his domineering immortal technique with his bare hands.

The old ghost of Kushan originally thought that Li Muyun's attack was not very strong, but the moment his hand touched the Wine Immortal Sword, his old face changed drastically. A vast and violent power, like that of a ferocious beast, was surging within the sword, operating in a strange balance.

However, the moment he grabbed, the strange balance was broken, and a violent power erupted instantly!

"boom!"

The domineering immortal technique essence within the Wine Immortal Sword exploded with a roar, unleashing countless sword beams like a torrential rain of pear blossoms.

Upon seeing this, Li Muyun immediately pulled over Ling Shanshan, who was standing beside him in a daze, and used all his strength to unleash the Golden Gang Spell, transforming it into a shield of light in front of him. The residual force struck the Golden Gang Shield with a clanging sound, causing Li Muyun's tiger's mouth to ache faintly.

As all the smoke and dust dissipated, the withered mountain ghost was seen swaying precariously like a candle in the wind, his body covered in wounds and blood. His left arm had completely disappeared from his forearm, leaving only a still-bleeding stump.

Ling Shanshan was dumbfounded. She looked at Li Muyun in disbelief. This young man's immortal technique was so powerful that even a Heavenly Profound expert had his arm blown off.

Lin Haikuo also stood up from the corner, looking ashamed. When that domineering immortal technique was unleashed, he felt something was wrong and immediately hid behind a rock, escaping a disaster. However, looking at the miserable state of the withered mountain ghost, he couldn't help but swallow hard. Was this an immortal technique that a fifth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator could release?

"Hiss—Aaaaaah!"

The old ghost of Kushan clutched his severed arm, trembling and screaming in agony. He never dreamed he would be so unlucky as to lose an arm like this. He glared at Li Muyun with venom and roared, "You little beast, I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

"Thunder Technique - Palm Thunder!"

A series of electric arcs were released, giving the old ghost of the withered mountain no chance to react. He raised his hand and threw out a handful of talismans. The Wine Immortal Sword returned to Li Muyun's hand, and the domineering immortal technique was charged up again!

Li Muyun made hand seals, and the talisman transformed into an array. "The Five Elements rotate, the Great Dao is Yang, the Fire of Li flows, and the flames blaze in all directions!"

A scorching heat instantly emanated from the talisman array, followed by a burst of raging flames that burned intensely towards the withered mountain ghost. The cave was narrow, and the flames from the talisman array were like a flamethrower, leaving no way to avoid them.

Just as the old ghost of the withered mountain broke free from the lightning, flames enveloped him. He shuddered his true energy and forcibly blocked the flames, but couldn't help spitting out another mouthful of blood. The explosion had been too close to him, and because he was careless, he hadn't used his true energy to resist it, resulting in severe damage to his internal organs. The lightning and high temperature also made his breathing disordered, and his chest burned with pain.

With a gritted teeth, the Old Ghost of Dry Mountain mobilized all the true energy in his body, "Damn little bastard, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

Just as the old ghost of Kushan was about to unleash his strongest high-grade spirit-level martial skill with all his true energy, a sound of air being torn apart came!

"Buzz!"

The Wine Immortal Sword shot towards him again with a dazzling light. Upon seeing the shimmering sword, the Dry Mountain Old Ghost was so frightened that he turned and ran without hesitation. Just as he was running away, an earthen wall rose up behind him with a rumble, blocking all his escape routes.

"No! I'm not reconciled! Ah!"

With a roar, the Old Ghost of Dry Mountain pierced his body with a whoosh, instantly pinning him to the earthen wall.

The light of the Wine Immortal Sword suddenly intensified, and countless true essence sword beams sprayed out!

"boom!"

The corpse of the withered mountain ghost turned into chunks of flesh, blood splattering everywhere! The earthen wall also shattered with a crash, dust flying everywhere!

Li Muyun clenched his fist in the air, and the Wine Immortal Sword trembled and returned to his hand. He said calmly, "You are the first person to catch my domineering immortal technique with bare hands."

Ling Shanshan was completely dumbfounded when she saw the withered old ghost of the withered mountain, who was already dead beyond any doubt. Wasn't that a master of the Heavenly Profound Realm? He just died like that?

Looking up at the elegant young man in white, and recalling my own arrogance, I couldn't help but laugh.

Li Muyun drew his sword, piercing the dust as he walked inside. He unleashed his true cultivation level, the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and gently shook his head, saying, "I had no intention of getting involved in your mess, but you won't let me leave. So I have no choice but to take action."

Lin Haikuo was equally shocked and bewildered. How could he not be terrified and shocked that a Tianxuan expert could be killed without a complete corpse in just three moves?

He quietly crushed a communication talisman in his hand, retreating step by step, swallowing hard. "Young hero, this matter is indeed none of your business. How about we pretend we never met and go our separate ways?"

Li Muyun shrugged, pointed his sword at Lin Haikuo, and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

Ling Shanshan angrily said, "Lin Haikuo, do you think you can escape today? Young Master Yun, you helped me kill this traitor today, and when we return to Qingling Sect, I will definitely ask my father to reward you handsomely."

"I was bewitched today, Senior Sister. Have you forgotten how I've treated you all these years? We grew up together. Please forgive me, Senior Sister..." Lin Haikuo put on an apologetic attitude and knelt down on the ground to beg for forgiveness.

Ling Shanshan hesitated for a moment. After so many years of childhood friendship, it was impossible to say there were no feelings involved. "Young Master Yun, would you be so kind as to restrain him? I'll take him back to the sect for my father to deal with, after all..."

Li Muyun shook his head helplessly, "Miss, can't you see that he's stalling for time?"

Li Muyun gave Lin Haikuo a cold glance and slowly walked towards him. "You crushed the communication talisman and were waiting for your Tianxuan servant to come and save you?"

Lin Haikuo's eyes twitched upon hearing this. He stood up, his expression turning cold. "Since you've seen through me, I won't pretend anymore. The message has been sent out; Elder Zhao has arrived. Elder Zhao is at the second level of the Heavenly Profound Realm and cultivates orthodox techniques. He's not comparable to a rogue cultivator like Old Ghost of Dry Mountain."

Senior sister is right. All these years I've pursued you only for the position of sect leader. Everything I've done is for that.

"Senior sister, you're too naive. We're in a life-or-death struggle right now, and you're still thinking about sect rules and camaraderie? Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!"

"Excuse me for interrupting. Do you think you've already got the victory in the bag?"

Li Muyun interrupted Lin Haikuo's incessant chatter, casually forming a hand seal. Instantly, the side walls of the cave glowed faintly with the light of talismans. Li Muyun smiled slightly: "A rather useful little talisman array, a silence talisman array. It can isolate all information within its range, so no one will come to rescue you..."
