Zhuo Wenshu took a few steps forward, his sword light aimed directly at Ye Tian's throat. He stood still, his right index and middle fingers clamping down, catching the tip of the soft sword.
Zhuo Wenshu pulled with all his might, but the sword didn't budge. He was greatly startled, his face showing shock.
"Pfft!"
Ye Tian kicked him in the chest. With a "crack," Zhuo Wenshu's chest bones caved in, his heart suffering a violent impact, causing it to stop immediately.
After killing Zhuo Wenshu, Ye Tian reached out and picked up the soft sword. With a flick of his wrist, the soft sword straightened, its cold gleam radiating outwards, a layer of qi subtly flowing on its blade.
"He's a master! Run!" The dark-faced man, experienced in the martial world, immediately knew they were no match for the newcomer and turned to flee.
However, after taking just two steps, his shoulder was slapped by a hand. Instantly, he felt as if struck by lightning, trembling all over as he collapsed to the ground.
Ye Tian: "Did I let you go?"
The yellow-faced man held two short knives and said loudly, "What do you want?"
Ye Tian: "Kneel."
The yellow-faced man knew he couldn't escape this predicament. He let out a roar and lunged at Ye Tian with both knives.
Ye Tian's soft sword transformed into a flurry of sword light. The yellow-faced man cried out in pain as both his hands were severed at the wrist. He leaped up in agony, only to be kicked flying by Ye Tian.
Upon landing, the yellow-faced man's legs twitched a few times before he died.
Having dealt with the three of them, Ye Tian walked towards the woman. The woman glared at him and asked, "Who are you?"
Ye Tian: "Just passing by. I saw you were in trouble and decided to help."
As he spoke, he pressed a few points on the woman's body. A surge of spiritual energy entered her, and her strength gradually returned.
Then, he pressed a few points on the young and beautiful woman, also helping her recover.
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhang said, "Brother, give me a hand."
Ye Tian glanced at him and said, "The medicinal effect will wear off in three to four hours. You just have to wait."
The middle-aged man: ...
After speaking, he turned to leave. The young and beautiful woman quickly called out to him, "Young master, can you tell me your name?"
Ye Tian stopped, not turning around, and said faintly, "We're just strangers meeting by chance. It's not necessary."
With that, he floated away.
Looking at his tall and straight back, Zhu Xinrou was mesmerized. Only after he had gone far away did she exclaim, "Oh dear," and started to chase after him.
Hua Yingqiu sighed softly, "Silly child, his disdain has reached a state of perfection. You won't catch up."
"But we haven't thanked him properly yet."
The man surnamed Zhang snorted, "He's a Human Immortal, a true immortal. It's normal for him not to bother with us."
"Human Immortal?" Zhu Xinrou was stunned. "Mother, isn't Grandpa also a Human Immortal?" Da Feng Novel Network
Hua Yingqiu: "Your grandpa is a half-step Human Immortal. There's still an insurmountable threshold between him and a true Human Immortal."
The man surnamed Zhang: "Let's enter the Qingling Blessed Land first and see what's inside."
Saying that, he pushed aside the vines and walked in. Less than half a minute later, he came out with a grim expression.
Zhu Xinrou asked, "Senior, what's wrong?"
The man surnamed Zhang said hatefully, "The cave inside has collapsed. There's no way to clear it."
Hua Yingqiu sighed softly, "It seems we have no fate with this blessed land."
All three were disheartened. The man surnamed Zhang noticed someone on the ground who wasn't quite dead yet and immediately went up to deliver a few more blows, saying coldly, "Let's go back!"
Ye Tian, hidden in the distance, watched them leave before returning to the cave at the bottom of the cliff.
He walked about ten meters into the cave and saw a skeleton leaning against the cave wall. The clothes had completely weathered away, leaving only the shoes and belt.
Ye Tian examined it and found clear signs of broken bones on the skeleton. It seemed that someone had been here many years ago and had been killed.
Walking further, he saw the second and third skeletons.
Ye Tian sighed softly, "It seems that even blessed lands are not peaceful."
