Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

Sure enough, before long, Tian Ku roared like a wild beast, startling the surrounding birds into panicked flight, their cries echoing like the howls of wolves.

The bandits were even more terrified, trembling as if enveloped by an icy dread, fearing that Tian Ku would blame them and unleash a massacre.

Tian Ku's eyes were bloodshot because Li Chengfeng had vanished without a trace, not only killing his subordinates and stealing his treasures but also destroying his cave dwelling.

He had looted all the spiritual herbs inside, and those he couldn't take were destroyed.

Tian Ku was furious, cursing in his heart: "You little thief, so cunning and ruthless at such a young age, I will tear you to pieces!"

In his emotional state, he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, things had come to this. His revenge plan had not only failed but had also left him seriously injured. If it weren't for his mastery of the Substitute Puppet Technique, he would have died long ago.

Cultivating this Substitute Puppet Technique had cost him a great deal of precious materials, almost exhausting all his wealth.

But even so, he still suffered a great loss of vitality and damage to his soul. In fact, he was just a Qi Refining Stage Six cultivator, but due to the special nature of the Everlasting Zenith Art, his strength was outstanding among those of the same realm.

He gritted his teeth and vowed: "Li Chengfeng, no matter where you escape to, I will definitely capture you! Do you think you can escape my grasp? My methods are far beyond your imagination, this is not just a simple attack."

He patted his spirit beast pouch, and a small emerald green bird flew out. This was a special kind of spirit beast that, once it smelled the aura of a cultivator or demon beast, would track it down until the target disappeared.

Ignoring his own injuries, Tian Ku immediately urged the little bird to explore the surroundings and search for Li Chengfeng's trail.

He felt that Li Chengfeng had already advanced to Qi Refining Stage Four and might be nearby, waiting for an opportunity to harm him.

Sure enough, the little bird actually flew towards the cave where Li Chengfeng was hiding. Fortunately, Li Chengfeng had escaped the disaster by using the Blood Shadow Technique, and was not discovered by Tian Ku in time.

The path of cultivation was indeed fraught with dangers, with various treasures and exotic beasts emerging endlessly.

Tian Ku was excited when he saw the little bird react.

His heart was filled with anger and resentment, and he decided to tear Li Chengfeng into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.

The spiritual herbs he had prepared for refining healing pills were all gone. This revenge operation was not only fruitless but also cost him a precious Substitute Puppet.

How could he not be in great pain? He vented all his resentment on Li Chengfeng.

So, he soared into the sky on his flying sword. Although he was seriously injured, he was confident that he could easily deal with a Qi Refining Stage Four Li Chengfeng.

He had already examined the wounds of the dead, all of whom had been killed by sharp blades, with occasional casualties from the aftermath of explosions.

Li Chengfeng had also dealt with all traces and soul fluctuations. This matter had already passed for more than half a year, making it difficult to investigate further.

But the fatal wounds were still clearly visible, which strengthened Tian Ku's determination to capture Li Chengfeng.

When the bandits discovered the corpses that had been killed, they did not take immediate action, but chose to freeze the corpses, waiting for the immortal master to return to investigate the truth and capture the murderer.

They were not fools, but had their own plans.

By observing these wounds, Tian Ku believed that Li Chengfeng's strength was not outstanding, so he was eager to kill him, hoping to retrieve the three most precious herbs, trying to salvage the situation.

He rushed over like a gust of wind. Seeing this, Li Chengfeng quickly retracted the Blood Shadow, merging it into his body. Then, he skillfully set up a trap, integrating the other Blood Shadows into the walls, preparing to ambush Tian Ku.

These Blood Shadows could blend into various environments because they were made of blood energy.

At the same time, Li Chengfeng pretended to be fast asleep in the cave, but secretly hid the Demon Blade under the ground. With just a thought, he could use the Demon Blade faster than taking it out of the storage bag.

To ensure foolproof success, he also held more than a dozen talismans tightly in his hand, ready to throw them out all at once at a critical moment, creating chaos.

In the battle with Tian Ku, Li Chengfeng did not intend to hold back anything.

He knew that the Everlasting Zenith Art was powerful, and its matching techniques must be extraordinary, far surpassing the Blood Shadow.

Even if the Blood Shadow's two sets of matching techniques were magical enough for low-level disciples, it could be inferred that the Everlasting Zenith Art's techniques must be even more profound.

Li Chengfeng longed to possess all the cultivation methods of the Everlasting Zenith Art, which was the most powerful foundation for him to embark on the path of immortality.

Almost as soon as he was ready, Tian Ku arrived.

He discovered the disguise at the entrance of the cave and scanned it with his divine sense, finding Li Chengfeng sleeping inside.

Li Chengfeng had already suppressed his realm to Qi Refining Stage Four and weakened his aura by a bit.

Tian Ku sneered and mocked: "Boy, you are not so brave, dare to destroy my cave dwelling, take away my spiritual herbs and not leave, but also want to sit and reap the benefits."

A thought arose in his mind to refine Li Chengfeng into a substitute puppet.

Tian Ku directly released a fireball, blasting the branches and firewood of the cave dwelling into pieces, and then strode into the cave.

The cave had a distance of several tens of feet in circumference, and he confidently believed that he could easily capture Li Chengfeng here.

He thought: "This is the so-called catching a turtle in a jar."

Sure enough, Li Chengfeng suddenly woke up, looked up and saw Tian Ku, and was immediately frightened, shivering and exclaiming: "Master, you are back, please forgive this disciple for being possessed by a ghost."

However, Tian Ku angrily rebuked Li Chengfeng, saying: "Betraying the sect, killing my subordinates, taking away my spiritual herbs and cultivation insights.

I will refine you into a substitute puppet, so that you will never be reborn!"

Faced with Tian Ku's threat, Li Chengfeng's face changed suddenly, but he still tried to salvage the situation, pleading.

"Master, give me another chance. I promise not to make the same mistake again, and I will offer the spiritual herbs to Master as compensation."

Li Chengfeng took out three sealed spiritual herbs from the storage bag. These spiritual herbs had almost no loss of spiritual energy. If planted and cultivated, they should be able to survive.

Seeing this, Tian Ku's face showed a satisfied smile, he said: "Good disciple, you are not stupid either.

Hand over these three spiritual herbs to me, and I will spare your life, and also lead you on the path of immortality, and teach you the twelve layers of the Everlasting Zenith Art's cultivation technique."

"Twelve layers?"

Li Chengfeng was shocked when he heard this. He had been in the Demon Sect for several months and knew something about the cultivation techniques of the immortal world.

Generally, the cultivation techniques in the Qi Refining Stage are cultivated from the first layer to the tenth layer, but the Everlasting Zenith Art actually has twelve layers, which means that those who practice this technique in the Qi Refining Stage will cultivate two more layers than ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators.

This made Li Chengfeng even more interested in this technique and strengthened his determination to seize the treasure.

Looking at Li Chengfeng's surprised appearance.

Tian Ku thought that he was moved by his words, and continued: "Boy, you are alone no matter how smart you are, and you don't know the sinister nature of the immortal world.

You see, the teacher is so difficult to deal with, but in fact, there are people as cruel as the teacher everywhere in the immortal world. As long as you hand over the spiritual herbs, everything will be fine."

Tian Ku was worried that Li Chengfeng would destroy the spiritual herbs in a fit of anger, then he would completely lose the opportunity to obtain the spiritual herbs.

Therefore, he tried his best to persuade Li Chengfeng to hand over the spiritual herbs, and at the same time, he was secretly preparing to strike, and once the spiritual herbs were in hand.

He would immediately launch an attack and completely eliminate Li Chengfeng.

However, he did not know that Li Chengfeng had already planned in his heart how to counter him and seize all the techniques of the Everlasting Zenith Art.
