Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 739: Chapter 256: Rule Fragment 2

At other times, it is necessary to use the seal, to lock oneself away, to let oneself fall into slumber, thus preventing madness.

Therefore, the moment Tu Yuan discovered Lin Zheyu and sensed the dense Demonic Energy on him, he immediately assumed him to be a cultist practicing Demon Skill.

"Treasured artifact to suppress demonic will, what a treasure!"

"With this thing, I can dare to venture into those mysterious places I didn’t dare to before!"

Tu Yuan’s heart burned with desire.

He wanted to attack Lin Zheyu immediately, but there was no time.

Those three guys biting at his heels gave him no chance to catch his breath.

A flash of black light enveloped Tu Yuan, and just before charging into the earthen wall, he suddenly turned, opening his mouth to spit out a jet of liquid black as ink.

"Not good!"

"This is... Retreat quickly!"

Yuan Qiu and the others’ expressions suddenly changed upon seeing this, their bodies froze momentarily, and instead of advancing, they retreated.

"Hmm?"

"Did that guy just spot me?"

Lin Zheyu watched Tu Yuan’s back with a slight frown.

He too noticed Tu Yuan’s subtle maneuver as he dashed into the earthen wall.

Though Tu Yuan executed it covertly, Lin Zheyu still noticed.

The fight here seemed unlikely to happen.

Besides those four powerful presences, Lin Zheyu also sensed another five powerful presences.

In Lin Zheyu’s mind, the thought of retreat began to form.

Just as he quietly backed away, planning to leave silently.

One figure, like Lin Zheyu, hidden in the ambiguity, suddenly detected Lin Zheyu’s presence.

"Eh!"

A crisp sound of surprise echoed.

Lin Zheyu sensed a sharp aura shooting towards his brow.

Boom!

Lin Zheyu countered with a palm strike, terrifying strength crashing into the viscous liquid, making the entire small lake tremble.

Yet, that sharp aura wasn’t significantly hindered, it darted toward Lin Zheyu’s palm.

A crisp clinking sound was heard.

Lin Zheyu felt a slight sting on his palm, as if bitten by a mosquito.

His palm suddenly clenched, and a silver long needle was crushed into a small round ball by Lin Zheyu’s forceful grip.

Swish!

Lin Zheyu kicked off with both legs, propelling himself out of the demon lake.

The purple-black energy on his body vanished instantly, his entire being shuddered, golden energy surged forth, infusing into the degraded purple-black symbols.

Within a few breaths, the purple-black symbols reverted to golden symbols, fading into his flesh.

At the instant Lin Zheyu dashed out of the demon lake, he felt over twenty pairs of eyes land on him.

"Humph!"

Lin Zheyu snorted coldly.

The formidable aura he emitted swept the others with icy eyes before landing beside him nonchalantly.

There were quite a few who came this time, no one knew who arrived first.

He hid among the crowd like this, not attracting anyone’s attention.

At most, they might suspect Lin Zheyu successfully obtained that treasure.

Swish~~

After Lin Zheyu emerged, a swishing sound ensued.

A girl with delicate appearance and cold demeanor leaped out from the ambiguity.

She was wearing a goose-yellow long dress, tightly fitted, perfectly accentuating her graceful physique.

Her appearance attracted many gazes.

She glanced at Lin Zheyu subtly, her mouth slightly curled into a smile.

"Hmm?"

Lin Zheyu furrowed his brows slightly.

It was that girl who targeted him just now.

From the girl, Lin Zheyu did not perceive any malice; either she hid it well or she indeed had no ill intentions.

After all, her attack seemed more like probing.

"This young lady, Ke Zishan, bears no malice."

"Might I ask if you’re free for a chat later, dear friend?"

The crisp voice suddenly resonated in Lin Zheyu’s mind.

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but glance at the girl again; she was looking at him, a faint smile on her face, appearing attractive when she smiled.

Lin Zheyu chuckled lightly, not responding.

Such inexplicable attempts to befriend and approach him were met with utmost vigilance.

Boom boom!

More cultivators arrived, the battle disturbances within the demon lake grew increasingly intense, but moved farther from this place.

Bang!

Suddenly, the ground exploded, and Lei He was sent flying out in a disheveled state.

"It’s Tu Yuan!"

"Seems like the treasure is going to be snatched by that Earth Demon Rat again."

Someone murmured softly.

The battle’s intensity was severe, as some cultivators familiar with Tu Yuan instantly identified the combatants.

"Damn!"

"I’m telling you, that guy escaped, I don’t have the thing, why are you fighting so fiercely!"

Tu Yuan burst out from the earth, shouting loudly.

Behind him, Yuan Qiu and Liao Xingfan pursued relentlessly.

"Humph!"

"Open your storage bag and let us inspect it, then we’ll believe you!" Yuan Qiu snorted coldly.

"To hell with you."

"If you want to die, come on; push me and I’ll fully activate this thing."

Tu Yuan bellowed angrily.

In his hand, suddenly appeared a shriveled skeletal head.

The recessed eye sockets of the skull flickered with two eerie lights, like two intelligent eyes.

"Hiss—"

Among the onlookers, several inhaled sharply at the sight of the skull in Tu Yuan’s hand, retreating a few steps quietly.

None who came here were fools.

Upon noticing the oddity of those few individuals, others followed suit, all realizing the extraordinariness of the skull in Tu Yuan’s hand.
