Socially anxious me transmigrated to a world of cultivation.

After hearing the sound of flesh colliding, a figure flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground, whereupon there was no further movement.

Pingfan, who was pretending to struggle to his feet in the distance, quickly looked toward the figure.

When Pingfan finally saw the figure's face clearly, he secretly sighed with regret.

In mid-air, Zhang Shan, who had dodged the ape's punch, looked at the person who had fallen to the ground and was motionless, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Then, noticing that Pingfan had stood up, he coldly shouted at Pingfan.

"If it's not dead, keep entangled with this monster."

After speaking, Zhang Shan paused slightly before continuing to shout.

"Even if you get hit this time, you must hold on tight and not be easily knocked away."

Zhang Shan was genuinely scared. Although the ape's attack power wasn't high, it was still a peak second-tier demon beast.

Once attacked by it, a cultivator's physical body simply cannot withstand it.

The first time, Yu E and the others used their spiritual power to resist, but they were still knocked away.

If Zhang Shan hadn't pulled him aside because someone was nearby, he would have ended up like that person.

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's words, Pingfan pretended to endure the physical pain and ran towards the ape.

"roar~"

After the ape had killed one of the humans, it pounded its chest with its fists and roared.

When Pingfan entangled the ape again, he noticed that the ape's attack frequency seemed somewhat abnormal.

After Pingfan narrowly dodged the ape's punch once again, before he could even catch his breath, the ape's fist came crashing down again.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Pingfan could only raise his hands to block the ape's fists.

The next moment, Pingfan was punched directly into the ice crystals beneath his feet by the ape's fist, and his feet felt as if they were touching the swamp below the ice crystals.

Just as Pingfan was about to retreat from the ape's attack range, its fists rained down on Pingfan's arm.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

Moments later, the sounds of flesh colliding echoed through the swamp.

Seeing that the monkey was only focused on beating Pingfan, Zhang Shan shouted at the remaining Yu E and the others.

"Now's the time to unleash our strongest attacks and take down this ape in one fell swoop!"

After speaking, Zhang Shan took out a longsword that shimmered with blue light, made hand seals, and continuously poured spiritual power into the longsword.

"Cold Light Sword"

As the blade of the longsword emitted a dazzling light, Zhang Shan shouted and swung the sword at the ape.

Yu E and the others also unleashed their strongest moves, bombarding the apes.

The monkey, which was beating an ordinary ape, sensed danger, stopped beating, and looked up.

"roar~"

Upon seeing the attacks from Zhang Shan and the others, it roared angrily, and then its dark body emitted a faint glow.

"Bang~"

With a loud bang, Zhang Shan and the others' attacks all struck the ape.

At that moment, Pingfan, who was beneath the ape, felt a burning pain on his cheek.

However, before the aftershocks of Zhang Shan and his companions' attacks on the ape had even dissipated, Zhang Shan heard a scream from beside him.

"Ah~"

Zhang Shan turned his head and saw his long sword, which was now stuck in the man's heart.

The once intact longsword now only has the back half of the hilt, the front half of the blade is nowhere to be found.

"Ah~"

Another scream rang out, and Zhang Shan quickly turned his head to look at the other side of the body, and saw that this person, like the one before, had also been stabbed in the heart by a sword.

However, it was only the front half of the sword that pierced the man's heart. Seeing this, Zhang Shan shouted at Yu E and the person who had frozen the swamp with magic.

"withdraw!"

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's words, Yu E hesitated slightly. Just as he was about to ask what Pingfan should do, he was punched and sent flying backward.

"Bang~"

Seeing Yu E being knocked away, Zhang Shan hurriedly turned to flee, but he was too late and was hit by the ape's next punch, flying backward.

The person who cast the spell to freeze the swamp fled when they saw this, as they were far away.

"roar~"

When the ape saw the man running away, it roared and gave chase.

At this moment, Pingfan had quietly arrived at the edge of the swamp, watching everything that was happening before his eyes.

In fact, Pingfan quietly withdrew after the apes stopped bombarding him, escaping before the ice crystals that had frozen the swamp melted.

Pingfan watched the monkeys chasing after him, then looked at the spot where Zhang Shan had been knocked away, and ran towards Zhang Shan's location.

A moment later, Pingfan saw Zhang Shan lying on the ground, coughing up blood, in the woods not far from the swamp, and strode over to him.

Zhang Shan, who was lying on the ground, noticed someone approaching and quickly looked up. Seeing that it was Pingfan, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and then said arrogantly.

"It's you! Quickly take me away from here. Once we get back, I'll help you advance to the Body Tempering Realm."

After saying that, Zhang Shan waited for a long time but did not hear a reply from Pingfan. He frowned and looked at him, saying unhappily.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up, or we won't be able to leave once that ape finds this place!"

However, Pingfan just stared at him coldly without replying to a single word.

Seeing Pingfan like this, Zhang Shan also sensed something was wrong and, trying to remain calm, coldly shouted.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Get me out of here right now!"

Seeing his expression, Pingfan stopped pretending and said coldly.

"Take you away from here? You're dreaming."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shan struggled to sit up, stared intently at Pingfan, and frowned as he spoke.

"What do you mean?"

Pingfan bent down, his eyes filled with intense killing intent, staring intently at him, and slowly spoke.

"Do you understand what it means now?"

Sensing the murderous intent in Pingfan's eyes, Zhang Shan visibly panicked and roared angrily.

"You want to kill me? Do you know who I am? Do you know what the price will be for killing me?"

Zhang Shan is now so weak that even an ordinary person could easily kill him.

Therefore, Zhang Shan could only say some harsh words in the hope of scaring Pingfan.

However, when Pingfan heard his words, he sneered and laughed.

"Of course I know who you are, and I'm not afraid of the consequences of killing you."

Seeing that he hadn't frightened Pingfan, Zhang Shan's panicked heart became even more flustered, and he whispered.

"Fellow Daoist, we have no enmity, why do you want to kill me?"

Pingfan waved his hand at Zhang Shan and snorted coldly.

"No grudges? Have you forgotten that not long ago, your Zhang family joined forces with three other families to ambush and kill Li Tiansheng and his wife?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shan looked at Pingfan in shock, recalling the information he had obtained when investigating Li Muchan, and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Are you that mortal, ordinary?"

When Zhang Shan mentioned his name, Pingfan was slightly surprised, but then he understood.

The fact that they were able to unite three families to ambush Li Tiansheng and his wife, and accurately locate their position, indicates that they must have had a detailed understanding of the situation.

So it wasn't surprising that Zhang Shan knew his name.

After thinking it through, Pingfan looked at Zhang Shan coldly and smiled.

"That's right, it's me, so you can die now."

After saying that, while Zhang Shan was still begging not to be killed, Pingfan punched him directly on the head.

Brain matter splattered everywhere, and the pleas stopped.

Pingfan glanced at Zhang Shan, who had no head, took his storage bag, and left without looking back.
