Cultivating Immortality Begins with Acting as a Girl Chapter 056

Around the Zhenxie Division ruins, there was a rather dense forest. After Song Ling and Guo Yangzhai’s horses rushed in, they quickly slowed down due to the terrain, while the two subordinates of the Xiang family brothers behind them continued to chase relentlessly.

“Yuling, the horses can’t move fast here, and they’re too obvious a target. Let’s dismount!”

Guo Yangzhai said to Song Ling.

“Okay!”

Song Ling nodded, and then the two jumped off their horses, quickly drilled into the forest, and disappeared.

A moment later, the two subordinates of the Xiang family brothers arrived at the place where the two had abandoned their horses.

“They dismounted and ran away.” One of them frowned.

“It’s fine, don’t forget our Brocade White Rat.”

The other person said, taking out a small, completely white rat with fur like brocade from a cloth bag at his waist. He placed it in front of the saddles of Song Ling and Guo Yangzhai’s horses. The small rat twitched its nose and sniffed, then leaped from the person’s palm and ran towards a certain direction in the forest.

“Let’s go.”

The two quickly followed.

…

“Young Master Guo, this time it’s all my fault, otherwise things wouldn’t have turned out like this…”

While running, Song Ling said with a face full of guilt.

Guo Yangzhai gritted his teeth: “How can you blame Yuling? It’s all that lecher’s fault. If I can escape this time, I will definitely kill him at all costs!”

As soon as his voice fell, a cold snort suddenly came from behind:

“You won’t have a chance to live!”

“What?!”

Guo Yangzhai turned around in shock, only to see the two subordinates of the Xiang family brothers actually catching up from behind!

“Damn it, how did they know we escaped this way!”

Guo Yangzhai’s face was grim. The two pursuers exuded the powerful qi and blood of top-tier second-rate martial artists. He, a second-rate martial artist who was obsessed with elegant pursuits and forcibly boosted his strength with countless precious medicinal materials, and Song Ling, a “newly entered” second-rate martial artist, would certainly not be their opponents.

Could it be that he was really going to die here today?

Guo Yangzhai’s face turned pale.

Song Ling’s eyes flickered. He had originally planned to take the opportunity to shake off Guo Yangzhai so he could go back alone to search for antique artifacts containing Profound Origin. These two had arrived at just the right time.

So, he stopped, turned around and blocked the two pursuers, and said resolutely:

“Young Master Guo, this matter started because of me, and it must not implicate you. I’ll stop them, you go quickly!”

“Yuling, you…”

Guo Yangzhai looked shocked.

He never expected Song Ling to make such a choice, sacrificing himself to give him a chance to escape…

“Neither of you will leave!”

While Guo Yangzhai was, the two had already arrived in front of Song Ling. One raised a giant hammer high, and the other held twin maces, attacking Song Ling from two directions.

“Yuling!”

Guo Yangzhai was greatly alarmed, gritted his teeth, and actually turned back and rushed over, taking out a Vajra Folding Fan from his waist and attacking the person with the giant hammer.

A hint of mockery flashed in that person’s eyes, and the giant hammer changed direction and smashed directly towards Guo Yangzhai.

Guo Yangzhai’s Vajra Folding Fan and the giant hammer collided, and the fan bones immediately broke. The giant hammer was slowed down by a fraction due to the obstruction, but it still heavily smashed into Guo Yangzhai’s chest, causing him to spit out blood and fly several meters away.

An unparalleled fear spread in Guo Yangzhai’s heart.

He would die, if this continued, he would really die!

“Young Master Guo!”

Song Ling drew his long sword, parried the person holding the twin maces, and then blocked the other person who wanted to pursue. He shouted to Guo Yangzhai: “Young Master Guo, you are not their opponent. Staying here will only lead to death. Leave quickly. If I can hold on until Senior Wei Peng wins, I’ll be fine!”

As he spoke, Song Ling was already fighting the two of them.

However, he was only “newly entered” into the second-rate realm after all. Even with exquisite swordsmanship, he couldn’t withstand the combined attacks of two top-tier second-rate martial artists, and he quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Guo Yangzhai watched this scene, his eyes bloodshot.

He actually fell to the point where he needed to sacrifice his beloved to escape!

But…

Even so, he didn’t want to die, he wanted to live!

So, Guo Yangzhai got up and ran towards the depths of the forest!

“That person ran away!”

“It doesn’t matter, the boss said that as long as we bring this woman back alive, everything will be fine.”

The person holding the giant hammer said coldly, and then said to Song Ling:

“We didn’t use our true strength because we didn’t want to hurt you. If you obediently come back with us, everything will be fine, but if you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame us for being impolite!”

“Oh?”

Song Ling’s expression was indifferent. Seeing that Guo Yangzhai had already run far away, the vast inner force of a first-rate master instantly circulated throughout his body, and a powerful qi and blood force erupted!

“How is this possible?!”

“Bang!”

The two men’s eyes widened. Before they could react, one of them was kicked in the chest by Song Ling, causing a large indentation, his ribs breaking and piercing his internal organs. The entire person flew more than ten meters away like a kite with a broken string, dying on the spot.

“Spare—”

The other person was extremely horrified by this sudden change. Just as he was about to beg for mercy, a sharp long sword cut off his head.

Song Ling flicked the blood off his sword and sheathed it.

With his current strength, killing second-rate martial artists was as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs, without any pressure.

“Squeak squeak squeak…”

Song Ling looked down and saw a small white rat circling around him.

A realization dawned on him. This little thing must be the reason why the two were able to track him and Guo Yangzhai.

“This little thing might be useful.”

Song Ling fumbled around on the two people and found a rather exquisite cloth bag. A faint scent emanated from inside. As soon as he opened it, the white rat voluntarily scurried in.

Song Ling put away the cloth bag, then ran wildly in the direction he came from, quickly returning to the vicinity of the main entrance of the original Zhenxie Division ruins. He restrained his aura and hid in the forest, seeing that Wei Peng was still locked in a fierce battle with the Xiang family brothers, inseparable.

As expected of the Guo family’s chief martial arts instructor, facing the extremely coordinated joint efforts of the Xiang family brothers, two first-rate masters, he still subtly held the upper hand.

If this continued, it was likely that he would indeed be the final victor.

Song Ling’s gaze shifted to the Zhenxie Division ruins. It was a large complex of buildings. He could take this opportunity to secretly bypass the battle and sneak in to search for items containing Profound Origin.

With this thought, Song Ling immediately moved.

He moved away from the battlefield of Wei Peng and the Xiang family brothers, circled a large distance, and arrived at the south side of the Zhenxie Division ruins. He walked to a somewhat dilapidated but largely intact wall, then leaped with force, entering inside.

Looking around, the interior of the Zhenxie Division ruins was desolate, with dilapidated houses and overgrown weeds.

This place was once a crucial stronghold for suppressing monsters and protecting the peace of the region, but now only a scene of desolation remained. The air was filled with a faint smell of mold and the dust of history.

Song Ling walked among the ruins, the gravel under his feet making faint sounds. After searching several rooms, he came to a side hall. The roof of the side hall had multiple damaged areas, and the golden afterglow of the setting sun dappled through the cracks, making it seem somewhat desolate.

Passing through a series of broken walls, Song Ling arrived at a place with the words “Library” written on the outside.

On the large door of the library hung a rusty lock.

Song Ling raised his sword and cut the lock open, then pushed open the large door. Inside, he saw all sorts of dusty antique artifacts piled densely, and a rich aura of Profound Origin filled the entire room!
