Longevity Immortal Fate: Begins with Dao Companion

"It's you!" Huo Qi frowned when he saw the old man. "Bai Fu, you've been waiting for us here for a long time, haven't you?"

Bai Fu smiled, "Of course, when the Huo family comes, our Bai family is so hospitable and enthusiastic. How could we let you come for nothing? Naturally, we have to send more people to receive you."

"Don't be too arrogant. Has the Bai family already won?" Another Foundation Building cultivator from the Huo family said coldly.

"Haha, Huo Lang, take a look at the situation. Can your Huo family escape? In order to deal with you, we have specially sent some Bai family disciples who are guarding the surroundings."

"You Huo family is already doomed to defeat. Your second-grade inferior formation is useless. We have made preparations in advance. Even without the advantage in numbers, what can you use to fight against us?"

"Huo Qi, Huo Lang, you are also Foundation Building cultivators. You understand how difficult it is to reach Foundation Building. So instead of dying here, why not surrender to our Bai family? Not only can you save your lives, but you can also gain the resources provided by our Bai family."

"Your Huo family's destruction is inevitable. Think about it carefully. Why follow the Huo family to its doom? In this world, only strength and survival are the most important."

Bai Fu's voice was like the whisper of a demon, constantly seducing people's hearts.

Gu Changsheng and the others frowned as they looked at Huo Qi and the others.

If they betrayed—then they would be completely finished!

Five Foundation Building cultivators, none of them could escape from here. They could only—betray the Huo family together...

"Elder!" Huo Kai was extremely nervous. He hurriedly looked at Huo Qi and said, "You must not give up on the family!"

Huo Lingyun's expression was also extremely ugly at this time. He regretted coming here.

It must be Gu Changsheng. It was all because of this guy's bad luck that things turned out like this!

Huo Qi nodded firmly at Gu Changsheng and the others, looked at Bai Fu, and spoke with a resolute tone, "I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness, but I am a member of the Huo family in life and in death!"

Upon hearing this, the Huo family breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Foundation Building cultivators did not give up. They still had a little chance of survival...

Bai Fu sighed, "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say."

Among Foundation Building cultivators, there was still a mutual understanding. Everyone knew that cultivation was not easy for the other side. Setting aside their positions as enemies, they could still communicate well in the absence of any disputes over interests.

Unfortunately, they were enemies.

"Kill." Bai Fu waved his hand.

Three Foundation Building elders took the lead and went out.

The two Foundation Building cultivators from the Huo family quickly followed and rushed out together.

The five of them fought together, taking the battle outside.

When Foundation Building cultivators fought, the scene was too shocking for Qi Refining cultivators like them to withstand.

So they needed to move the battlefield outside.

But even after they went out, a Foundation Building cultivator from the Bai family still found a large stone to block the entrance of the cave.

Gu Changsheng and the others still couldn't escape!

They won't give us a chance to escape, huh!

"Kill!!!"

As the Foundation Building cultivators started to fight, the Qi Refining cultivators from the Bai family also joined in, attacking from all sides and surrounding Gu Changsheng and the others, intending to kill them.

With more than twice the number of people, the Bai family had a clear advantage over the Huo family, which only had one person.

They didn't feel any pressure at all.

However, their main focus was on fighting against the Qi Refining cultivators at the ninth level, like Huo Lingyun. They only sent one Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level to deal with someone like Gu Changsheng, who was at the eighth level.

That cultivator glanced at Gu Changsheng with a disdainful expression.

How could a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator lose to an eighth-level one!

Wasn't this just random killing?

If he could be defeated, he would eat his hat!

"Huo family brat, you're so young and yet you're here to die." The Bai family cultivator looked at Gu Changsheng, his eyes filled with some regret but mostly excitement. "Speaking of which, you're so young and already at the eighth level of Qi Refining. It shows that your talent is outstanding. It's a pity, though, that you're going to die here. I just love hunting down geniuses like you!"

As he spoke, the Bai family cultivator cruelly drew out a long knife.

Gu Changsheng glanced at him indifferently, without saying a word.

Instead of taking out the Heavenly Snow Sword, he took out a first-grade top-quality long sword.

In the current situation, he couldn't reveal his true strength. He needed to fight slowly, preferably having a back-and-forth battle with this ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, so that they wouldn't send too many cultivators to fight him.

Of course, Gu Changsheng wasn't completely defenseless. In fact, the Qi Refining cultivators here weren't enough for him to kill. But he was afraid that if he killed them all, Foundation Building cultivators would come...

He could bully Qi Refining cultivators, but he didn't have the courage to confront Foundation Building cultivators.

"I'll play with you first, and I don't even need a weapon to defeat you."

"Wood Bind!"

The Bai family cultivator formed hand seals, extracting spiritual energy that turned into a green power, attaching it to his hands.

In an instant, it was as if a huge tree whip came lashing out, full of momentum, tearing through the air.

The attack of a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator was quite powerful.

However, this cultivator was just an ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, not like Huo Lingyun, who was at the half-step Foundation Building stage. There was still a considerable gap in their strength.

Of course, even if Huo Lingyun came, Gu Changsheng would still kill him casually.

"Kid, stop resisting futilely and wait for death obediently. That way, your corpse will look better, and I can give you a proper burial." The Bai family cultivator was very confident.

Gu Changsheng glanced at him indifferently, but his expression appeared extremely serious. He firmly shouted, "Hmph, even though I'm only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, I'm definitely not someone easy to bully. I will do my best to fight you!"

The long sword swung, and Gu Changsheng seemed to be giving it his all, mobilizing all the spiritual energy in his body. A brilliant sword aura was unleashed.

Swish--

The sword aura gathered, charging forward like a gust of wind.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, their attacks collided. The green power entangled the sword aura, tightly holding it back, preventing it from advancing.

"Haha, just as I thought, your resistance is futile, meaningless!" the Bai family cultivator laughed.

Gu Changsheng frowned, feeling immense pressure, but he stubbornly said, "Impossible, I will defeat you!"

"Pfft." The Bai family cultivator sneered, "You're quite confident, I want to see how--"

"Damn it!"

As time passed, the green power continued to entangle the sword aura, and then--

The sword aura actually shattered the green power!

Boom!

In the next moment, the sword aura erupted with a brilliant force, rapidly advancing.

"What... is happening?!" The Bai family cultivator's expression turned horrified.

He watched the approaching sword aura and quickly formed hand seals, unleashing another green power. In an instant, the sword aura was shattered into pieces.

The Bai family cultivator's small head was filled with confusion. Clearly, this sword aura wasn't strong at all, or rather, it was quite ordinary, as it was only a first-grade superior sword technique. So why was it able to break through his attacks?

This is... really strange!

Could it be that he exerted himself too much during his workout with his Dao companion last night, causing his body to weaken?

He couldn't even lift his knife?

"I must have been too careless, thinking this kid was weak, so I didn't use my full strength!" the Bai family cultivator thought, "This time, I'll be serious and use seventy percent of my power!"

He looked at Gu Changsheng, his eyes filled with cruelty. "Kid, be careful, I'm going to be serious now. I don't believe you can resist this time!"

"Wooden Movement!"

Swish!

He quickly formed hand seals, and the spiritual energy within his body was once again drawn out, transforming into a huge tree that swept across all directions.

The air was swept away, and everything in front of him was ignored!

Boom!

The green tree flew straight towards Gu Changsheng, accompanied by a gust of wind that messed up his hair.

Gu Changsheng's expression became extremely serious, as if facing a formidable enemy. He took a deep breath and shouted, "If I can withstand your first attack, I can withstand your second attack!"

He raised his long sword and unleashed another brilliant sword aura.

"Break for me!"

Bang!

The long sword swung, and the sword aura directly struck the green tree, producing a loud noise.

After the two forces collided, they spread out in all directions, causing violent fluctuations in spiritual energy.

The violent power caused Gu Changsheng to continuously retreat.

The sword aura was also on the verge of being shattered.

Gu Changsheng gritted his teeth, feeling that he was about to reach his limit.

Even though he kept retreating, even though it seemed like he was about to be blown away, he still felt that he was just a little bit away from it. He could endure it.

"Heh, kid, I haven't used my full strength yet, and you're already like this. What do you have to resist against me, the difference between the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining is beyond your imagination."

"I don't believe it!" Gu Changsheng shouted.

Then, he exerted all his strength, and all the spiritual energy in his body burst out, gathering on his long sword, and then pushed forward!

Bang!

Under the immense power, the sword aura swept through, directly cutting the green tree into nothingness!

Gu Changsheng gasped for breath, looking exhausted, as if he had given it his all.

He had reached his limit, and he truly had no spiritual energy left in his body.

He was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, anyone could bully him.

The Bai family cultivator was dumbfounded.

What the hell--

What is this!

What is this kid? Clearly, he couldn't withstand his attacks at all, but he was able to break through his defenses?

You should know that he is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he's even using seventy percent of his power. How could this kid possibly resist?

"No, something's not right, something feels off about this kid," the Bai family cultivator furrowed his brows.

He looked at Gu Changsheng and felt that something was amiss.

Why does it feel like this kid--is intentionally holding back?

It seemed like he was pretending to struggle.
