Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

186: Fighting against a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, wielding the Black Tiger Gilded Blade!After a long while, the dark sword light gradually dissipated, and everyone turned their gaze toward Lin Buer, wondering if he could survive that violent and overbearing sword strike!

”Good sword technique!”

On the open ground, deep pits gouged out by Sword Qi were everywhere. Lin Buer stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Chuanjie as he spoke softly.

”The Lin Family Senior is still strong; he actually managed to block such a tyrannical strike from the Little Sword Immortal!”

”Indeed! Worthy of being one of the five tigers of the prefecture city, the Golden Palm that Covers the Earth!”

Seeing Lin Buer standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly uninjured, the crowd began to praise him. In their eyes, it was only natural for Lin Buer to block Chen Chuanjie’s sword; after all, he was at the Late Qi Refining Stage, while Chen Chuanjie was only at the Mid-stage Qi Refining. There was a whole Realm of difference between them!

However, Chen Chuanjie looked at Lin Buer as if he were looking at a dead man. He turned a deaf ear to Lin Buer’s praise, simply shifting his gaze back toward the members of the Lin Family, saying with considerable arrogance:

”Who else dares to come and test my sword!”

At the very moment Chen Chuanjie’s voice fell, countless blood holes suddenly burst open on Lin Buer’s body. Blood gushed out from him, and he could no longer hold on; his corpse collapsed to the ground!

As it turned out, Lin Buer had already died from the sword strike. He had merely been holding on by a single breath. The moment he opened his mouth to speak, that breath in his throat escaped, and he was beyond saving!

Lin Buer’s sudden death was like a silent thunderclap, instantly exploding among the surrounding crowd!

”How is it possible? A Mid-stage Qi Refining defeating a Late Stage one—don’t Geniuses like that only appear in legends?”

”He truly is the Little Sword Immortal. Killing an enemy across Realms... he’s too strong...”

For a moment, the crowd was abuzz with discussion, all marveling at Chen Chuanjie’s combat power. Meanwhile, the members of the Lin Family all had faces as bitter as gourds. Lin Buer was already the strongest contestant among them, and now he had been slain by Chen Chuanjie!

Could it be that their Lin Family really had to back down today and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, yield to this Chen family of peasant origin?

”Clap! Clap! Clap!”

Just then, a burst of applause rang out. The Lin Family’s Grand Elder, that white-haired old man, walked out while clapping.

”Worthy of being the Little Sword Immortal favored by Fairy Qingping. You actually managed to achieve a cross-Realm kill that only the ancient Prodigies could accomplish!”

”With your natural talent, if you were given time, you would surely enter the Foundation Establishment Realm, and your future path to immortality would be long. Unfortunately... today, a Prodigy like you must fall at my hands!”

”Although I am unwilling to stifle a Genius, I am even more unwilling to leave a great enemy for the Lin Family’s future!”

The Lin Family’s Grand Elder walked out with trembling steps, speaking as he moved.

With every step he took, the aura on his body grew stronger by a notch. First Level of Qi Refining, second level, third level... finally, he reached Chen Chuanjie, and the aura on his body finally erupted—it was actually the Ninth Level of Qi Refining!

It was hard to imagine that besides Lin Tianlong, the Lin Family actually hid another expert at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining!

”Ninth Level of Qi Refining! Oh no, the Little Sword Immortal is finished!”

”Yeah, I didn’t expect the Lin Family to have such a foundation. The Ninth Level of Qi Refining is invincible below Foundation Establishment!”

The crowd discussed fervently, both marveling at the Lin Family’s hidden strength and lamenting the Little Sword Immortal’s impending fate of being cut short!

Chen Changsheng frowned as he saw the old man erupt with the power of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. He also hadn’t expected the Lin Family to hide a Ninth Level practitioner; this Lin Tianlong was indeed deep and calculating.

”Chuanjie, come back. Leave this old man to your father!”

Chen Changsheng narrowed his eyes. The Ice Soul King Scorpion in his sleeve felt Chen Changsheng’s killing intent and began to stir restlessly.

Chen Changsheng was confident he could take down this old man and show him what it truly meant to be invincible below Foundation Establishment!

The pity was that the Ice Soul King Scorpion he had prepared for Lin Tianlong would be exposed, which would allow Lin Tianlong to be prepared!

Just as Chen Changsheng was about to step forward, Chen Chuanjie’s figure ahead remained motionless. Chen Changsheng frowned and called out again:

”Chuanjie!”

Hearing Chen Changsheng’s call again, Chen Chuanjie finally turned around. There was no fear in his eyes, only a burgeoning Battle Intent.

”Father, I haven’t fought an expert at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining yet. Is it alright to leave this old man to me?”

Chen Changsheng’s first instinct was to refuse, but when he saw Chen Chuanjie’s eyes, which were as sharp as swords, the words suddenly got stuck in his throat.

What is a sword? It is to forge ahead without looking back. What is a swordsman? It is to dare to draw one’s sword!

Chen Chuanjie had already viewed the Lin Family’s Grand Elder as a whetstone. Only by defeating him would Chen Chuanjie’s sword heart become even sharper!

”Fine, be careful with everything!”

Chen Changsheng thought for a long while and finally agreed to Chen Chuanjie’s request.

Sharpening a sword carries risks; it is easy for it to break. But Chen Changsheng had the confidence to save Chuanjie’s life at a critical moment!

Since his life was not in danger, why not let Chen Chuanjie fight a battle? Even if he lost, his courage to draw his sword would illuminate his sword heart!

”Don’t worry, Father!”

Having received Chen Changsheng’s permission, flames seemed to dance in Chen Chuanjie’s eyes. He slowly turned around to face the Lin Family’s Grand Elder, a provocative smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

”Is the Ninth Level of Qi Refining very impressive? I’ll use you today to test the limits of my sword technique!”

As his voice fell, Chen Chuanjie was the first to strike. This time he was serious; after all, his opponent was at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, the highest Realm below Foundation Establishment, so he used his ultimate move directly.

”Dark Flood Dragon Swallows the Mountain, Second Sword, Wandering Flood Dragon!”

With a low shout from Chen Chuanjie, Sword Qi erupted from the netherworld sword, eventually transforming into a ferocious and overbearing black flood dragon that charged toward the Lin Family’s Grand Elder.

”Good sword technique, watch me subdue the dragon!”

The Lin Family’s Grand Elder gave a low shout, and a violent wind blew up from behind him. His white hair and beard flew wildly, but his figure remained as immovable as a mountain.

A golden saber painted with a black tiger emerged before him. The black tiger on it was lifelike, and an invisible roar exploded out of thin air!

Then, that black tiger actually leapt down from the golden saber and flew toward the flood dragon in the sky!

Immediately, the flood dragon and the black tiger began to fight, with neither side falling into a disadvantage!

”Good Magical Artifact!”

Seeing that Black Tiger Gilded Saber, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but praise it. One must know that Chen Chuanjie’s sword technique was disassembled from a Golden Core sword technique!

Yet the Lin Family’s Grand Elder, relying solely on a Qi Refining Magical Artifact, could fight Chen Chuanjie to a draw, which was enough to make one envious!

”Ah, isn’t this the number one Qi Refining Magical Artifact of Annan Prefecture, the Black Tiger Gilded Saber?”

”Legend has it that this artifact contains the soul of a Ninth Level Qi Refining tiger demon. Usually, it can summon the tiger demon’s soul to fight. The most powerful part is still that golden saber; not only is it incredibly sharp, but it can also erupt with power like a Rising Sun!”

Seeing that artifact, the crowd began to discuss. Cultivators’ duels were basically a competition of Realms and magical power.

Now that Chen Chuanjie was several levels behind in Realm and his artifact was not as powerful as his opponent’s, his situation was truly worrisome!
