The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing's speed was naturally unmatched by ordinary cultivators, and he quickly caught up with the person in moments.

Only then did he notice that the man looked familiar. It was Zhang Qiu's nephew, the prison guard, though he was in a rather sorry state.

His body was covered in wounds, and one of his arms hung limply at his side.

The snake-man said with a gloomy face, "Ren Qing, we have no past grievances or recent animosity, why must you be so ruthless?"

Seeing that the surrounding terrain was gradually narrowing, he stopped, gritting his teeth.

The movements of the jailers slowed down slightly, circling around the two from different angles, showing that their intelligence had long become remarkable with the passage of time.

The snake-man looked at Ren Qing warily, who also stopped.

"I see that this place is already outside the prison. Are we going to continue deeper?"

Ren Qing gripped the handle of his saber and looked around, feeling as if he were in an underground tunnel.

The walls were covered in blood vessels like living things, and the ground felt somewhat soft underfoot.

Although it was a closed space, he could see a dark cave in the distance, emitting a faint green, rotten smoke.

The snake-man realized that Ren Qing was not hostile, and he had also seen him outside the Jailer Hall, both brought here by jailers.

He replied in a softened tone, "Actually, we have not yet reached the Jailer Hall. We can only get there by passing through the 'Knot Cave'."

"Knot Cave..."

Ren Qing was slightly stunned.

He was quite familiar with Zhang the Butcher, so he had heard the folk names for various parts of the internal organs.

The small intestine does indeed have the common name "knot."

Speaking of which, isn't the Gluttony Art an alteration of the stomach? How could it involve the intestines?

Or is it that the Yang God realm cultivator, because he was on the verge of death, caused the alteration to gradually spread throughout his body?

The Avici Hell probably already covers the entire gastrointestinal tract.

The snake-man did not hold back and explained, "Once we reach the Jailer Hall, we will know how to leave."

Ren Qing nodded and asked, "My name is Ren Qing, what should I call you?"

"Lin Cheng."

Lin Cheng lowered his guard a little.

At this moment, the jailers were approaching, and he quickly said, "You and I will each deal with a jailer, and when we are free..."

"No need."

Ren Qing caught sight of a Bloodhound Gang cultivator transforming into a cheetah and entering the Knot Cave at an extremely fast speed, and he immediately believed most of Lin Cheng's words.

He drew his saber and rushed straight at the jailer.

Before Lin Cheng could think of a solution, the trouble had been successfully resolved.

Huh?

Lin Cheng frowned and turned his head, only to see that Ren Qing had already run far away, not planning to cooperate with him at all.

Then he realized that the jailer had turned into a corpse, its expression filled with disbelief.

Ren Qing was not interested in Lin Cheng's Snake Molting Art, and he didn't have the time to escort him. He would pass through the Knot Cave first.

He stepped into the cave.

The benefits of Wolf Feet were fully demonstrated. No matter how fast his legs moved, his stamina showed no signs of being exhausted.

Perhaps the Wolf Feet are not as fast as the Leopard Feet, or as strong as the Elephant Feet, but sometimes filling in the shortcomings is the most important thing.

The Ape Jailer could only ensure that it was not left behind, constantly letting out impotent rage.

Ren Qing thought that the Knot Cave would at most be a bit smelly.

But as he gradually went deeper, he noticed that the flesh walls were actually seeping black and red blood, and the sour and rotten smell in the air became more and more pungent.

The clothes on his body sizzled, feeling as if they were gradually dissolving.

Fortunately, the Skin Refiner had extremely strong resistance to corrosion, and his eyes were also protected by the Double Pupils.

However, when Ren Qing breathed, his trachea felt a burning sensation, and he even tasted a metallic rust on the tip of his tongue.

He found the cultivator who had transformed into a cheetah lying in a puddle not far away, his flesh melting like heated candles.

"Save me..."

When he saw Ren Qing approaching, his eyes revealed hope, and under the effect of a strong desire to survive, he barely crawled over.

Ren Qing bent down and touched him with his palm, and the information stream appeared.

Unfortunately, this person only had one technique, the Divine Feet Sutra, and he had mastered it by swallowing strange objects.

"Save me..."

"No hope."

Ren Qing gave him a quick death without hesitation, and then continued to run forward.

In the few breaths of time that he had been delayed, the jailer had already closed the distance a lot.

The most troublesome thing was that the sour gas in the Knot Cave was becoming more and more corrosive, even feeling like it was penetrating everywhere.

Ren Qing couldn't help but gasp for breath, his lungs aching faintly.

The cloth shoes on his feet had long since disappeared, and his clothes were not much better.

The latest novels are first published on the 69 Bookstore!

Ren Qing quickly swallowed a dozen Pig Eyes, using the heat generated by digestion to nourish his injuries, so as not to affect his progress.

However, the Knot Cave was muddy and difficult to walk on, so the speed naturally slowed down.

The Ape Jailer, however, was walking on flat ground.

Moreover, it was gradually becoming more and more intelligent, and began to take advantage of the terrain.

Ren Qing had to use his fist to knock back the Ape Jailer. The Great Seed Saber would definitely be damaged in such an environment, so he did not draw it.

When Ren Qing reached the end of the Knot Cave, his breathing had become heavy.

He noticed that the outside of the cave was shrouded in a blood mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

After hesitating for a few breaths, Ren Qing stepped out of the Knot Cave, and the sour gas around him finally dissipated.

He coughed hard a few times, spitting out saliva mixed with blood on the ground, but his internal organs felt much more comfortable as a result.

The Ape Jailer stood at the entrance of the Knot Cave, afraid to approach, and then its expression returned to calm, and its body merged into the flesh wall.

The blood mist formed a continuous drizzle.

Ren Qing always felt that the Avici Hell was on the verge of collapse, even though the information stream showed that he still had more than two hundred years of life.

He wiped the blood from his face, feeling slightly nauseous.

No wonder Song Zongwu said that no jailer liked to stay in the Jailer Hall. This place was indeed too hellish.

He carefully observed the vicinity and found that there were still a large number of cells nearby.

The cells were empty, but there were indeed traces of life.

The other cultivators had not yet arrived, and he had not even seen a shadow of a jailer. There was no sign of the promised way out.

Ren Qing took a few steps forward while using his Double Pupils, trying to discern what was different about the Jailer Hall.

Then his expression became extremely astonished.

He saw a rib bone thousands of meters long piercing through the flesh wall, with blood gushing out from it.

It was because of the rib bone that the wound could not heal, which led to the formation of the blood mist.

However, the injuries that could bring a Yang God realm to the brink of death were definitely not just this one. At least the injury to the stomach did not affect his life.

Ren Qing immediately understood how to get out of the Jailer Hall. In fact, that wound was the path to the outside world.

There should be no more danger in the Jailer Hall, after all, it is under the jurisdiction of the jailers.

But he did not choose to set off. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, still thinking about the techniques mastered by those cultivators.

It took a full few hours before a figure came to the Jailer Hall from the Knot Cave.

The person was the horned cultivator that Ren Qing had seen outside the Jailer Hall.

Now he was covered in thick bone armor, and his walking speed was indeed very slow, but he relied on defense to make it to the Jailer Hall.

The horned cultivator's hands were covered in blood, and he was swallowing something whole to restore his depleted strength.

Ren Qing's eyes were full of interest.

This bone armor should be some kind of technique.
