Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"Folks from the same hometown meeting each other, eyes brimming with tears, huh."

Chen Qiu sighed lightly and deliberately finished the lamb soup in his bowl before setting it down. Digging a handkerchief from his breast pocket, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said helplessly.

"Fat Long, the slogan you shouted for the Sky-bursting Gang that day was too loud."

"If we don't get rid of this guy, he might spill something if he's dying, causing a whole lot of trouble."

They had transmigrated to this world.

It could be a big deal or a small one.

If this person survived or somehow blurted out on his deathbed that he was a transmigrator and exposed them as well, it would significantly impact them. It wasn't impossible that some old demons might want to dissect what transmigrators were made of.

Everyone is curious.

Even old Demon Race cultivators with Golden Cores are curious.

Unfortunately, Demon Race cultivators with Golden Cores often have ways to satisfy all their curiosities.

"Hmm..."

Thinking about the seriousness of the matter, Fat Long nodded as he watched the young man being kidnapped slowly walk away, a fierce light flickering in his eyes.

"Shopkeeper, time to settle the bill."

Chen Qiu gestured for the shopkeeper to come over and, after throwing down some money, pointed toward the departing figures of the burly men and asked, "Which power in Kai Mountain City do these men belong to?"

"This..."

The shopkeeper hesitated significantly, reluctant to say more, but after glancing at the coins, noticeably more than the cost of the meal, he whispered, "Those guys are from Kai Mountain City's 'Fierce Tiger Gang,' a bunch of scoundrels. The gang leader is a third-layer Foundation Establishment strongman."

"You seem like you're from out of town, so it's best if you avoid provoking any trouble."

"If you're not on good terms, pretend you didn't hear anything. Don't lose your life over a moment of valor."

"Thanks."

Chen Qiu stood up, patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder with a smile, and turned to leave the stall, following the figures that had almost disappeared from sight.

If it's just the third layer of Foundation Establishment, it should be manageable.

...

Outside Kai Mountain City, in a certain part of the Deserted Forest.

The burly man was at that moment holding a knife to the ear of the young man kneeling on the ground, his face showing a fierce grin, "Brother, remember this—when you come to Kai Mountain City, you abide by Kai Mountain City's rules."

"Today, I will show you what the rules of Kai Mountain City are."

Just then—

"Oh?"

"What are the rules of Kai Mountain City?"

A casual voice came from behind through the woods.

"Who's that!"

The burly man holding the knife instantly changed his expression, turned around, and saw Chen Qiu and his three companions emerging from behind the trees, their footsteps crunching dry leaves as they walked.

"It's you."

The burly man's eyes flashed with recognition, and he bellowed angrily, his aura as a peak Qi Refinement cultivator fully unleashed, "I am the third ranking officer of the Fierce Tiger Gang in Kai Mountain City!"

"Are you sure you want to make an enemy of the Fierce Tiger Gang?"

"Care to share your names?"

"..."

Fat Long, slightly exasperated, rested his elbow on the scholar-like young man's shoulder, gazing coldly at the burly man before him, and snorted, "Just be a local ruffian, will you? Calling yourself 'I am' like you're someone important?"

"Trying to clear your name or what?"

"Neither scholarly nor martial."

"Doesn't it sound awkward hearing your own words?"

As his words finished.

The burly man's expression darkened immediately. Without another word, he advanced with his knife toward Chen Qiu and his companions.

"Hey."

Fat Long saw this and got excited, hurriedly standing up and rubbing his hands together as he moved forward, "Don't anyone else act, let me handle this. It's not often I get someone I can beat!"

The burly man's speed grew more exhilarating.

In the last few strides he reached his peak, leaping into the air with a fierce roar, his large blade carrying a terrifying momentum as it cleaved towards Fat Long who was approaching him!

He was confident. If this strike hit home, even if this fat man was at the peak of Qi Refinement, he was confident he could sever the fat man's body!

However—

The next instant!

Fat Long's body suddenly radiated a milky-white, semi-transparent light shield that firmly enclosed him. The terrifying strike of the blade landed on the spiritual energy shield and didn't even make a crack.

"Clang."

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the jungle.

The burly man was flung several meters away, struggling to rise from the ground. Looking towards his blade that had been knocked away and his own tingling and uncontrollably trembling hand, he found it hard to believe. His throat was dry, his eyes filled with a hint of despair as he looked at Fat Long and said with a trembling voice.

"Spiritual energy protection. That's a hallmark of a Foundation Establishment expert!"

"You...you're a Foundation Establishment... expert?"

"Could you spare my life?"

"This rule-breaking fellow is yours. My boss is also a third-level Foundation Establishment expert. If you kill us, it will attract retaliation. We have no grudge against each other, so how about we call it even?"

"If you gentlemen are still in Kai Mountain City today and you spare my life, I will definitely have our boss come and apologize personally."

"Can... you?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As he spoke, the burly man's voice even started to whine. Can you? Naturally, you can't. In the past, many had pled for mercy from him and he'd never spared any of them. Now he finally understood the despair of those he had faced.

Even though he knew it was impossible, at this point, he couldn't help but pin all his hopes on those words.

It was like grasping at a lifeline.

...

"What do you think?"

Fat Long's face beamed with a smile as he twisted his neck, step by step approaching the burly man who had been knocked to the ground, lifting his fist. It felt truly exhilarating. Finally, someone he could actually beat. None of the enemies he had encountered in the past few days had been beatable by him.

Facing such an easy target, of course he wanted to take full advantage.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Fierce Tiger Gang within the Deserted Forest were also fearfully supporting the burly man, crouching together, waiting for the unknown verdict.

Run?

How could one in the Qi Refinement Realm outrun someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage?

Just then—

A wiry young man, tied up and abandoned to the side, looked urgently towards Fat Long who had already walked up to the burly man and raised his fist, shouting hurriedly and anxiously, "Big brother, hold back, don't kill him!"

"He's still useful!"

"..."

Fat Long looked emotionlessly towards the wiry young man, as if looking at an idiot. Did you think he was here to save you, still shouting at this moment for mercy? Wait and you'll be killed along with the others.

Moreover, your mind doesn't seem right either.

They were about to chop off your head just now, and now you start shouting to spare him.

"Huff... huff..."

The burly man sitting on the ground looked at the fist, just inches from his head, suspended in mid-air carrying a terrifying force. His entire body trembled faster, gasping for air, the fear making him wait even longer for the impending verdict.

That fist.

If it smashed on his head, his head would burst on the spot!

No surprises!

At that moment, the wiry young man spoke even more urgently, "Big brother, give me a chance to explain in the forest nearby. After I explain, you'll understand!"

"When you were killing Demon Clan cultivators in Fufeng City, I was hiding inside the city. We've actually met before."

"I didn't expect to meet you in Kai Mountain City today; it must be fate."

"Just give me a hundred breaths' time, I'll definitely make things clear!"
