318: I won't kill you! Go ahead and kill yourself!

Su Yu’s gaze immediately turned cold.

The newcomer was trouble!

That was an extremely terrifying Immortal.

His entire body was skin and bones, but his physical form was slowly recovering.

Evidently, when this corner of the land was unearthed, all the Formations outside the Immortal Caves were destroyed, and the other party likely gained immense benefits from this.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come out, nor would he be as powerful as he was now.

Su Yu’s figure flickered, intending to step out.

But at this moment, Zhan extended a hand, stopping Su Yu, and calmly said, “Don’t waste Immortal Stones; let me handle this.”

On the opposite side, That person, the Immortal, heard the words “Immortal Stone,” and her eyes instantly lit up.

Her figure arrived in an instant, appearing above the two.

The Immortal looked down from above, gazing at Zhan and Su Yu, and coldly said, “Hand over your Immortal Stones, and I can spare your lives.”

Accompanying her words, a terrifying pressure bore down.

“One of you hasn’t achieved Immortal Ascension; you’re just an ant.”

“The other has only just achieved Immortal Ascension; I’m afraid he doesn’t even know what Immortal Arts or Divine Abilities are yet!”

“Behave yourselves, don’t try any tricks, or else, you who just achieved Immortal Ascension will perish, and that wouldn’t be very cost-effective!”

Upon hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Was this Immortal very strong?

She truly was very strong.

Her aura was like an abyss or a sea.

Although she was called an ‘ant Immortal,’ in reality, an Immortal was an Immortal.

An Immortal, even an ant Immortal, was very powerful.

It was a pity; the other party clearly could have lived, but now, she was doomed to die.

Beside him.

Zhan suddenly made a move.

“Hold out your hand.”

Zhan took out a ruler.

The Immortal, who had just been so arrogant, suddenly changed her expression dramatically.

She found that she couldn’t move.

Terrifying rules descended, acting upon her body.

These rules were powerful, ancient, and beyond resistance.

Not to mention her current state, even at her Peak, she couldn’t defy these rules.

“Senior, I was wrong!!!”

The Immortal quickly begged for mercy.

Countless years.

She had been trapped here for countless years.

In the Immortal Cave, she had almost starved to death.

Now that she could finally continue living, she didn’t want to die just like that.

She wanted to live.

Only by living could she enjoy everything.

Only by living was there meaning.

Live! She must live!!!

If she died, truly, nothing would be left!

“You don’t know you were wrong; you know you’re about to die!”

Zhan shook his head, and the ruler fell, striking the other party’s palm.

With this strike, the cultivation aura within her body violently trembled.

Just now, she was still an Immortal.

But now, in the blink of an eye, her cultivation plummeted, leaving her with only… a Half-Immortal!!!

Zhan put away the ruler.

The ruler wasn’t for killing.

It was for education.

At this moment, her eyes revealed a look of terror.

She was no longer an Immortal!!!

But… a Half-Immortal!!!

At the same time, she felt the rules dissipate.

Now, she could move again.

“I’ll fight you!”

At this moment, she couldn’t help but furiously attack.

It was so hard to achieve Immortal Ascension!

It was so hard to mine for three million years!

It was so hard to be a stud for another three million years!

It was so hard to finally pay off the Immortal Cave loan of three million years.

She thought she could enjoy life.

Who would have thought that one day, a figure descended…

Suddenly, she stared at Zhan, her eyes revealing unprecedented terror.

“It’s… it’s you…”

In an instant, a figure from countless years ago suddenly overlapped with the current Zhan.

Exactly the same.

She recognized him.

The person who descended back then was the person before her eyes.

She was afraid!

Thump!

She immediately withdrew her hand and knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, crying, “Senior, I was wrong! I was truly wrong!”

“Please, Senior, spare my life!!!”

Su Yu looked at this scene with some surprise, then turned to Zhan and asked, “Did this person recognize your identity?”

Zhan remained silent.

What identity do I have?

I am the Minister of the Great Xia Night Watcher Headquarters, how could he recognize me?

Su Yu continued, “I thought you were useless, but I didn’t expect you to be so formidable!”

He paused, then Su Yu said with a smile, “This corner of the land, it wasn’t cut off by you back then, was it?”

This was a part of the Immortal Realm.

Who could cut off a part of the Immortal Realm?

In fact, Su Yu suspected that this corner of the land might not have been cut off at all.

Rather, the Immortal Realm back then was shattered into pieces!!!

This was just an insignificant fragment among them.

Of course, this was just Su Yu’s guess, and it might not be true.

“What are you thinking?”

Zhan shook his head and said, “I am from the same era as you; I am also a modern person. How could I be an ancient existence?”

He paused, then Zhan continued, “Perhaps, over countless years, I simply bear some resemblance to someone else.”

“Or perhaps, I cultivated the Dao of some ancient figure, and thus, gradually began to resemble them.”

“Is that so?” Su Yu was somewhat skeptical.

Resembling someone else was barely plausible.

But cultivating their Dao and also becoming similar to them, that was truly terrifying.

“Of course it is.”

Zhan smiled and shook his head.

Then, his gaze fell upon the Immortal kneeling on the ground.

“Forget it, I won’t kill you today!”

Zhan walked around the other party and headed towards the Immortal Cave.

Su Yu quickly followed, feeling somewhat surprised.

Zhan, so kind-hearted?

He would spare the other party?

He felt somewhat unconvinced.

“Thank you, Senior.” The Immortal knelt on the ground, still kowtowing like pounding garlic.

But as he kowtowed, suddenly, with a thud, his figure fell to the side.

Su Yu turned his head, his eyes showing a look of astonishment.

Dead?

He didn’t even see Zhan make a move!

“I didn’t kill him.”

Zhan explained as he walked, “This person’s Lifespan has reached its limit; he will soon die of old age!”

“His cultivation plummeted to Half-Immortal, and his Lifespan limit was reached. Even if I didn’t kill him, he was doomed to die!”

“Died of old age???” Su Yu asked.

It was the first time he had seen an Immortal die of old age!

“You could say that.” Zhan nodded.

Immortals were not indestructible.

They would also die of old age!

However, their Lifespan was extremely long.

“Wait, I’ll go back and loot the body!”

Su Yu quickly spoke up.

After all, he was an Immortal.

He might have something good on him!

“No need to search.”

Zhan stopped Su Yu and said, “To save his life, he even ate his own Natal Immortal Artifact. He has nothing left now except his corpse!”

Upon hearing this, Su Yu was immediately disappointed and somewhat regretful.

He turned back and looked closely; indeed, there seemed to be some fragments of an Immortal Artifact within his body.

They hadn’t been digested.

However, they could provide him with a certain amount of energy.

That’s why he had survived until now.

Su Yu shook his head, his heart somewhat complex.

Soon, Su Yu followed Zhan into the second Immortal Cave.

Inside, there were many Immortal Caves.

Upon entering, Su Yu saw two skin-and-bones Immortals fighting.

Countless years had passed.

They couldn’t enter others’ Immortal Caves.

Left with no choice, they could only stay in their own Immortal Caves.

As for the Immortal Cave, they couldn’t get out at all.

But today, for some unknown reason, all the Formations were damaged.

They could now enter others’ Immortal Caves.

At present, they were fighting each other.

All for the purpose of devouring the other!

Only by devouring the other could they restore their own strength.

An Immortal who was skin and bones was still an Immortal.

Within their bodies, there was still an extremely terrifying power.

But now, as Su Yu followed Zhan inside.

The two skin-and-bones Immortals immediately gave up on killing each other.

Their gazes all fell upon Zhan.

As for Su Yu, he was too weak.

They didn’t even bother to look.

Their eyes were glowing green, like wolves that had been hungry for many days.

Boom!

The two charged towards Zhan.

“Hold out your hand.”

Zhan took out the ruler.

The two revealed looks of terror.

Their figures were out of control.

They stood at attention.

One extended his left hand, the other extended his right hand.

Slap! Slap!

The ruler fell, and both received a strike from the ruler.

Their cultivation instantly plummeted to Half-Immortal.

The two were about to speak, but suddenly, their eyes showed despair.

On their bodies, Death Qi instantly spread out.

In the blink of an eye, the two fell to the ground.

They, too, had died of old age!!!

Zhan extended his hand, and two tattered Storage Pouches flew out from the two Immortals’ bodies.

After a quick glance, Zhan directly threw them to Su Yu and said, “There are no treasures; you can keep them.”

Su Yu took them and looked.

Indeed, there were no treasures in the two Storage Pouches.

Combined, there were only three Immortal Stones.

Moreover, the power within them seemed to have been extracted, with not much left.

Shaking his head, Su Yu sighed. Immortals were truly poor.

In this corner of the land, he wondered if he could find more Immortal Stones.

By now, Su Yu suddenly lost his confidence.

“Fellow Daoists, halt.”

Just as Su Yu was about to follow Zhan into an Immortal Cave, a red-robed Immortal suddenly walked out from the side.

Before this, Su Yu hadn’t sensed him at all.

After Su Yu stopped, the red-robed Immortal then smiled and said, “Fellow Daoists, you both look well. You must be from the outside, I presume?”

“Outside?” Su Yu was somewhat surprised.

“I discovered an entrance and exit, but there are strong individuals guarding it, preventing me from leaving!”

The red-robed Immortal sighed, somewhat helpless.

Su Yu then realized that the strong individuals the red-robed Immortal was referring to should be the Door Gods.

Are the Door Gods that strong?

They can even block Immortals!

“So, do you have something you need?” Su Yu asked.

“I would like to ask if the two Fellow Daoists could take me out of here?”

The red-robed Immortal took out an Immortal Artifact.

It was an Immortal Sword.

It looked as if it was still in very good condition.

“As compensation, I am willing to give the two Fellow Daoists an Immortal Artifact.” The red-robed Immortal said with great sincerity.

Su Yu frowned.

At this moment, Zhan suddenly spoke.

“Su Yu, today, I will give you another lesson!”

Zhan slowly said, “Besides being careful where you step, lest you step on a poisonous insect and cause your own demise, there’s another point: do not trust anyone!”

Zhan looked at the red-robed Immortal in front of him and said calmly, “Just now, this person was preparing to ambush those two Immortals who were fighting. After we came in, he was preparing to ambush and kill us.”

“However, after seeing my strength, he changed his mind.”

“Thus, we have this scene now.”

Zhan then turned to Su Yu and said very gently, “We do not actively harm others, but in this world where the strong prey on the weak, we must assume the worst intentions from others.”

“Once someone has ill intent, they are an enemy!”

“When you encounter such a person, I will teach you four words!”

“That is… kill first as a courtesy!”

Boom!!!

Zhan made his move.

The ruler appeared!

“Hold out your hand!” Zhan lightly snorted.

The red-robed Immortal immediately stood at attention and extended a hand.

Slap!

The ruler fell!

His cultivation instantly plummeted to the Half-Immortal Realm.

“Senior, spare me! I will never dare again!!!”

The red-robed Immortal’s face showed terror as he repeatedly begged for mercy.

He hadn’t expected that, despite hiding so well, he would still be discovered.

And Zhan was also terrifying.

Wielding a ruler, he was invincible.

The terror it contained was something even he couldn’t resist.

“I spare you, but Heaven won’t spare you!”

Zhan sighed.

As his words fell, the red-robed Immortal suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Another Immortal, died of old age.

Zhan extended his hand.

From the red-robed Immortal’s body, an Immortal Sword flew out, then a jade pendant, and finally, a tattered Storage Pouch.

Zhan pointed a finger at the Immortal Sword.

A mournful cry came from within the Immortal Sword.

“The spirit within it has been obliterated by me.”

“If you had taken this Immortal Sword just now, it would have immediately killed us.”

“Now, it’s fine!”

He paused, then Zhan continued, “As for this jade pendant, it’s mainly used for concealing one’s aura. Just now, you couldn’t discover the other party because he was wearing this jade pendant.”

“As for what’s in the Storage Pouch…”

Zhan glanced at it, his face darkened, and he directly threw the Storage Pouch away.

Inside, it was empty, with nothing at all.

“Take it!” Zhan said with a smile, “The Immortal Sword has no spirit, but it is still an Immortal Sword, and its power is still quite extraordinary.”

“As for this jade pendant, if you wear it, it can also conceal your aura.”

Zhan couldn’t help but take another look at Su Yu and said, “You’re too good at stirring up trouble. Wearing this jade pendant on you can also protect your safety.”

Su Yu rolled his eyes.

Just give it to me; do you have to say I stir up trouble?

Am I stirring up trouble?

I’m just helpless.

In the Jianghu, one is helpless!

Where there are people, there is Jianghu.

What can I do?

I’m also very helpless!

Zhan looked into the distance, then withdrew his gaze, and said to Su Yu, “Let’s go, let’s go in!”

Zhan stepped into an Immortal Cave first.

Su Yu quickly followed.

Perhaps, in this Immortal Cave, there were Immortal Stones.

Immortal Stones were good things; naturally, the more, the better.

When Su Yu entered, a phantom figure emerged from the spot where Zhan had just stood, gradually solidifying.

Soon, it transformed into another Zhan.

Zhan’s gaze fell into the distance.

After a moment of thought, Zhan clasped his hands behind his back and flew towards the distance.

Soon, a “Transformation” Divine Text appeared where Su Yu had just stood, transforming into a figure.

That was Su Yu’s Divine Inscription Avatar.

Su Yu thought for a moment, then transformed into a leaf, carried by the wind, drifting into the distance.

Soon.

Zhan, with his hands clasped behind his back, landed outside a grand hall.

“Will you come out, or shall I kill my way in?”

Zhan, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke to the inside of the grand hall.

Soon, a thin figure walked out from the grand hall.

When Zhan saw the other party, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, “I didn’t expect you to still be alive after so many years.”

He paused, then Zhan sighed and said, “I won’t kill you! You may commit suicide!”

Su Yu’s Divine Inscription Avatar, transformed into a leaf, gently landed in the distance, watching this scene with great shock.
