Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 37: Ambush

After capturing Lin Yinyin, Cui Ping cautiously investigated and found that there was no major force behind her, only an old man wearing a cloak.

Lin Yinyin disguised herself as a middle-aged man, and Cui Ping suspected that the old man might not actually be an old man, but possibly her sibling. After some probing, Cui Ping confirmed that Lin Yinyin indeed had a sister who was only at the Sea Opening Realm.

Cui Ping felt that this was his good fortune, allowing him to capture two stunning beauties as concubines before returning to the sect. The sisters were truly extraordinary. Although Cui Ping had played with many sisters before, he had never seen sisters as exceptional as Lin Yinyin.

Cui Ping had already made up his mind. When Lin Yinyin's sister came to rescue her, he would capture her as well and make her his concubine. How could they resist him with one at the Innate Realm and the other at the Sea Opening Realm?

If they didn't come to rescue her, he would simply bring Lin Yinyin back to the sect. Although it was a bit regrettable, Cui Ping didn't want to take unnecessary risks. What if her sister brought a Soul Refining Realm expert with her?

The possibility was very small, but Cui Ping would not overlook it.

After drinking two pots of strong wine, Cui Ping felt a bit uneasy, causing his brows to furrow. A faint sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

After some thought, he put down the wine pot and strode towards the small courtyard where Lin Yinyin was being held, wanting to see if any thieves had managed to bypass the protective array and come to rescue her.

Half an hour ago...

Han Li silently arrived on the rooftop of a building outside Cui's residence. He was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face, revealing only a middle-aged face.

With a flash, Han Li arrived outside the walls of Cui's residence. Neither the guards patrolling inside nor outside noticed his presence. Han Li carefully observed the situation, his brows slightly furrowed.

Cui's residence had a seventh-grade protective array, which could hold off even a Vital Spirit Realm cultivator for a while. Han Li was only an eighth-grade array cultivator, so it would take a lot of time to break through this array.

Letting out a light sigh, he took out a bead from his hand. It was densely patterned, a seventh-grade array-breaking bead that he had purchased at a high price. It could only be used twice and could silently break a seventh-grade array.

This thing cost him fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones, and Han Li felt a bit reluctant to use it. If it weren't for recently selling a large number of pills and weapons and earning hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, he wouldn't have been willing to buy it.

Fifty thousand spirit stones or the two sisters, Lin Yinyin and Lin Yewu, Han Li didn't hesitate to choose the latter.

Infusing a strand of true essence into it, the array-breaking bead was activated, and the power of the array spread, enveloping Han Li.

He cautiously took a step forward, without triggering the protective array of Cui's residence, and then disappeared outside the wall with a flash.

Han Li had already learned the location of the small courtyard where Lin Yinyin was being held. It wasn't a secret, but he didn't go there immediately. Instead, he lurked in another location.

This was a place that Cui Ping had to pass through on his way from the main hall to the small courtyard. Cui Ping went there every day, and Han Li planned to make his move here. Cui Ping probably never expected that someone would silently infiltrate and ambush him.

Originally, Han Li had planned to make his move outside Cui's residence, but after observing for two days, he found that this guy hadn't left his residence recently, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Whether he made his move inside Cui's residence or not, when he fought Cui Ping, even if someone came to help, they would be hindered by the array, giving him enough time to kill Cui Ping.

Han Li fully activated his concealment technique, lurking here, ready to strike at any moment, ideally with a single fatal blow.

He had made complete preparations before coming here, with almost no risk of exposure. Otherwise, Han Li would never take such a risk.

As time passed, Han Li suddenly felt a surge of energy and silently prepared himself. He heard the sound of strong and vigorous footsteps approaching, getting closer and closer.

Cui Ping's face showed signs of drunkenness, his eyes somewhat unfocused, as he walked briskly towards the small courtyard without any precautions.

In fact, this is just an appearance. His mind is very clear, and he deliberately behaves like this to confuse the hidden enemies, such as Lin Yiwu and the possible existence of a Vital Spirit Realm cultivator.

He is not sure if anyone has bypassed the formation and infiltrated, but he must be cautious and not make any mistakes.

As he walked, Cui Pingyu's sense of unease became stronger. In the next moment, he suddenly pounced to the side.

After Cui Pingyu entered the ambush location, Han Li did not hesitate. His true essence instantly surged into the furnace in his palm, and a strong light shot out from the mouth of the furnace, as if it had the power to slay gods and exterminate immortals, instantly striking towards Cui Pingyu.

Although Cui Pingyu sensed something, he was caught off guard and could only pounce to the side, trying to avoid this attack.

Boom!

A large number of artificial mountains shattered, and all the broken stones and gravel were annihilated, turning the entire area into flat ground. This instantly alarmed the entire Cui Mansion, and all the guards quickly rushed over.

With such a commotion in the Cui Mansion, half of the True One City was alarmed, and the gazes of various powerful individuals turned towards the Cui Mansion.

The Vital Spirit Realm cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion and the military camp originally intended to take action, but when they saw that it was the Cui Mansion that had an incident, they immediately held back. They even gestured with their eyes to several Vital Spirit Realm cultivators who wanted to go and investigate, telling them not to meddle in this matter.

They couldn't find an opportunity to kill Cui Pingyu, but if someone was willing to do it for them, the Great Qian Dynasty would be happy to see it happen. They only needed to clean up the mess.

Two cultivators who had a good relationship with Cui Pingyu frowned, but they didn't dare to go and support him. There were five or six cultivators staring at them. The two exchanged a glance and sighed.

Inside the Cui Mansion, Han Li remained hidden, not pursuing step by step. He was just waiting for the smoke and dust to dissipate, with the Saint Heart Technique constantly operating. He held a divine sword in his right hand, while the furnace was put away.

"Cough cough~"

As the smoke and dust were about to completely dissipate, the sound of coughing rang out, revealing Cui Pingyu's pale face.

At this moment, his injuries were very serious. Blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and his face and body were covered in wounds. The most critical thing was that his left hand was severed, and his right calf was also missing.

After being attacked, he tried his best to resist, but he couldn't block it at all and suffered heavy injuries. However, he didn't heal himself or try to escape. Instead, he fully operated his cultivation technique. As long as the enemy dared to take advantage of the situation and chase into the dust, he would launch a full counterattack to try to heavily injure the enemy.

But the enemy was too cunning and didn't fall for it at all. Cui Pingyu was furious. He was attacked without even seeing the enemy, only knowing that the enemy was hiding on the opposite side.

He wanted to escape, but he didn't dare to. Once he escaped, it would definitely give the enemy an opportunity, and he would undoubtedly die.

"He's not dead?" Han Li muttered to himself.

Out of caution, he didn't pursue the victory, but waited for the result, constantly paying attention. It wouldn't be long before the dust settled.

The Body Nurturing Furnace was a Heaven Grade lower-grade magic treasure. Although its attack power was only equivalent to an Earth Grade lower-grade magic treasure, it had great power.

This was a weapon that only an Empty Void Grandmaster could fully activate. Its power was so great that even ordinary Soul Refining cultivators would die instantly if caught off guard, or at least suffer heavy injuries.

Obviously, this Cui Pingyu had a treasure that blocked this attack, but the treasure had also been exhausted, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries.

This situation was also within Han Li's plan. He was not surprised. He would only use the Body Nurturing Furnace once, and using it again would likely be discovered by other cultivators.

Now that Cui Pingyu was heavily injured and his strength greatly reduced, how could he resist Han Li, who was at the peak of the Vital Spirit Realm?
