Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Ke Haolin retreated back into the defense line, frowning as he asked.

"Uncle Master went over there, he took the tungsten steel chain, seems like he plans to capture that demon puppet alive."

Another inner sect disciple swallowed hard and said nervously.

Judging by the sound, one could sense the strength of that demon puppet, almost reaching the peak of marrow refining realm.

Due to the nature of the demon puppet itself, slaying one at this level requires several martial artists of the marrow refining realm to join forces, or a martial artist at the transforming force level to take action.

"Uncle Master went on his own?"

Ke Haolin was slightly surprised, he had intended to call Lin Zheyu and a few fellow disciples from the marrow refining realm to join forces.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zheyu went up alone.

"Don’t worry, it should be fine."

"During the day, Uncle Master killed a powerful living corpse demon puppet, and even survived an assassination by a demon martial artist at the transforming force level."

"A mere demon puppet at the peak of the marrow refining realm should not be Uncle Master’s match."

Someone said.

He was with Lin Zheyu during the day, responsible for the first line of defense in the western region.

"Oh?"

Ke Haolin was slightly taken aback, just as he was about to say something, he realized that the roar of the demon puppet was getting closer to them.

Ke Haolin suddenly looked in the direction of the demon puppet and couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

"See, I told you."

The person who had just spoken said with a sneer.

Lin Zheyu had only been gone for a short while and managed to capture the demon puppet at the peak of the marrow refining realm alive.

"This..."

"The 53rd on the Hidden Dragon List, is he really this powerful!"

Ke Haolin was extremely shocked in his heart.

He was an experienced inner sect disciple, his strength had reached the peak of the marrow refining realm, and he was already capable of breaking through to the transforming force level.

But Ke Haolin was unwilling to break through just like that.

He planned to comprehend a few more types of true intent before breaking through.

Otherwise, once he had condensed true intent, it would be much harder to integrate new true intent into the true force later on.

Ke Haolin thought to himself, if it were him, he could at most spar with that demon, and couldn’t pose any threat to it.

But Uncle Master Lin managed to capture it alive in a short amount of time.

This was simply unbelievable!

The difficulty of capturing alive is much greater than directly killing.

"Yun Qing, Ke Haolin, you two take this demon puppet to the halfway point of the mountain and lock it up, I’ll handle things here."

"Be careful, don’t let it escape."

Lin Zheyu lightly instructed as he tossed the securely bound demon puppet to Yun Qing’s feet.

"Yes, Uncle Master!"

Ke Haolin snapped back to reality and quickly responded.

He exchanged a glance with Yun Qing, both with a hint of shock in their eyes.

"Then hurry and go."

"Before you leave, lend me your saber, I’ll return it to you when you come back."

"By the way, when you come down the mountain later, bring a handy saber, preferably a heavy one."

Lin Zheyu looked at Ke Haolin and said.

Ke Haolin nodded, handed over his treasured saber, and then, along with Yun Qing, carried the massive demon puppet towards the halfway point of the mountain.

With their strength, one of them would have been enough.

But to prevent any accident midway, Lin Zheyu specifically asked them to go together.

Whoosh whoosh——

Lin Zheyu waved Ke Haolin’s precious saber, finding it quite handy.

Even though he hadn’t used a saber in a long time, he didn’t feel the slightest unfamiliarity.

Facing the foul-smelling demon puppet, Lin Zheyu didn’t plan to use his fists; those sticky purple-brown fluids were too disgusting once they got on his body.

It always took a long time to clean off all the smells.

Lin Zheyu intended to use the saber directly to sever the demon puppet’s head.

Against such a creature that battles on instinct without reason, his rudimentary saber skill was already enough.

Boom!

After adjusting to the long saber in hand, Lin Zheyu suddenly slammed his right foot down, dashing out like a cannonball.

In the mountain forest, under the bright moonlight scattered through gaps in the leaves, Lin Zheyu seemed to transform into a real shadow, shuttling back and forth among the demon puppets.

He moved fast, before the demon puppet could react, the silver-white saber light flickered, and before the ferocious face could react, the head thudded to the ground.

Whoosh whoosh——

Thud thud thud...

The saber light flashed like lightning amidst the mountain forest, and at the moment each roaring demon puppet surged forward, its head thudded to the ground.

Two minutes later.

Lin Zheyu returned to the second line of defense, the long saber in hand dripping slowly with the sticky purple-brown fluid.

"Take a rest, something bigger might show up later."

Lin Zheyu said softly.

Gulp——

Gulp——

Sounds of swallowing reverberated.

Upon hearing Lin Zheyu’s voice, everyone came back to their senses.

Seeing the ground littered with demon puppet corpses, they couldn’t help but take a cold breath, followed by a thick stench reaching their noses.

"So strong!"

"Is this the power of the 53rd expert on the Hidden Dragon List?"

Someone murmured softly.

When Lin Zheyu had captured the peak bone refining demon puppet earlier, they hadn’t witnessed it firsthand, although shocked, it wasn’t as stunning as witnessing Lin Zheyu fight now.

"Don’t just stand there, take a rest."

"After fighting for so long, your Qi Blood must be severely depleted, take some Essence Qi Elixir to recover." Lin Zheyu glanced around and said lightly.

He lifted his head, through the gaps, watching the distant sky, a slight heaviness in his heart.

The Yin Corruption energy in the air grew thicker.

Lin Zheyu felt a sense of impending storm.

"Could the spatial node be fully opened?"

An unsettling thought flashed in Lin Zheyu’s mind.

The number of demon puppets was too large.

Such a large number of demon puppets emerging together forced him to speculate along these lines.
