Seed of Dao

Killing Immortal beings

"Really?" Ye Chen almost wanted to scream and curse at the old man.

Making him a disciple at his final moments, and still from a cruel person like this old man—only a fool would believe it.

Forget about them clearly never knowing each other and meeting for the first time. Even if Ye Chen was willing to become his disciple, what could be inherited from a dying teacher? Moreover, only a fool would believe in such a sudden occurrence!

Unfortunately, the old man didn't want to explain further and only smiled cunningly while the small sword in his hand quietly began to float in the air.

It's over!

Ye Chen knew he had no more choices. Either obey his command or die by the flying sword.

"Boy, it seems you're quite smart and cautious," the old man suddenly said in a cold voice, ignoring Ye Chen's response.

Turning toward the corpse of the white-clothed young man, the old man once again spoke in a cold tone with absolute command. "If you're indeed smart, you'd better not think of unnecessary things."

A threat! A real threat!

Ye Chen was truly angry and gritted his teeth, but he knew he couldn't do anything and could only go with the flow.

A cunning smile appeared again on the man's face seeing Ye Chen compliant. "Since you know what's best, you should go to his corpse and get me the cowhide pouch."

Hearing that command, Ye Chen unconsciously turned toward the corpse of the white-clothed young man and thought this might be his opportunity.

Without further hesitation, Ye Chen immediately approached the corpse of the white-clothed young man. While searching the body, he felt around quickly, trying to find a weapon, knife, or anything that could help him.

But damn it, there was nothing usable.

What he found was only a white cowhide pouch with cloud ornaments, looking rough and only as big as an adult man's palm. No weapons. No knife. Not even a rock big enough.

His hopes immediately vanished. Ye Chen reached out to gently close the young man's eyes.

For now, just follow the old man and see if there's an opportunity.

He began walking back with the pouch in hand, but when his distance from the man was only five meters left, a cold voice stopped him.

"Throw that thing to me."

Ye Chen gritted his teeth angrily and annoyed. It was truly foolish if he thought this man would let him get close.

Fortunately, two meters in front of him, the black hammer, the immortal weapon previously used in battle, lay on the ground. Five meters away.

Ye Chen resignedly threw the pouch in his hand, then stood in place and waited.

On the other side, when the pouch arrived, the man caught it quickly. Then slightly closed his eyes and something magical suddenly appeared—a pale white pill suddenly came out from the small pouch's mouth, then flew as if it had its own mind.

"Good!" The old man immediately smiled widely and put the pill in his mouth.

Ye Chen's heart beat faster. From his joyful expression, most likely it was medicine that could heal his wounds.

The man closed his eyes, his breathing becoming deeper and more regular.

"Since you know what to do, I'll give you a chance," the man suddenly said without opening his eyes.

A book fell in front of Ye Chen.

"In the next hour, you must memorize and be able to practice what's inside it, even if only a little. If not...." The man stopped his words.

Without needing to continue, Ye Chen knew what would happen.

Ye Chen picked up the book in front of him—no title was written. Opening the first page, he immediately found a series of pictures of humans with some written explanations below them. Continuing to turn page after page, Ye Chen finally understood—this was a method to draw something into the body. Aura? Energy? He didn't quite understand, but the pictures were clear enough.

Ye Chen turned toward the man who was closing his eyes and seemed to be ignoring things around him.

The opportunity has come!

Without further hesitation, Ye Chen immediately ran forward at full speed. Not forgetting to grab the hammer on the ground, Ye Chen with strong determination ran while raising the hammer high.

Right when Ye Chen's distance from the old man in front of him was less than two meters, the man suddenly opened his eyes and coldly moved his left arm.

The small black flying sword suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chen, directly aimed at his head.

Ye Chen swung the hammer with all his strength to block.

"CLANG!"

A hard collision sounded and sparks appeared. Strong vibrations spread from the hammer to both his hands. At the same time, a great pushing force pushed his entire body flying several meters backward.

Ye Chen fell hard to the ground, his mouth tasted sweet and fresh blood immediately spurted out. Both his hands trembled violently and felt numb.

Strong!

Just from that brief confrontation, Ye Chen found that this Immortal being's strength was truly beyond his imagination.

But looking back at the middle-aged man there, Ye Chen found that his opponent was also shaken. The man was now lying on the ground without moving. Whether already dead or not.

That discovery made Ye Chen's confidence grow. He picked up the hammer on the ground again, then gritted his teeth and once again rushed forward with killing intent.

"BOOM!"

Unexpectedly, his attack this time truly succeeded. Even without the slightest resistance, the hammer struck the man's head hard.

Whether he was already dead or not, Ye Chen didn't care. He raised the hammer in his hand again. Continuously, cruelly he vented the annoyance and anger in his heart, hammering the middle-aged man's face into the ground.

Only when Ye Chen felt tired and his hands couldn't be lifted anymore did he stop and found that the middle-aged man's head was already very difficult to recognize.

Checking for a while and making sure the other party was no longer moving, Ye Chen finally felt relieved and fell to the ground.

"Finally dead."

Ye Chen regulated his breathing and smiled slightly. In his entire career as a soldier, he had killed many people. But this was different. This was the first time he killed a being that could fly and control a sword with thought.

Turns out they could die too.

But Ye Chen's feeling of relief quickly disappeared. The smile on his face instantly froze. Both his eyes widened and fear possessed his soul.

His heart beat fast, his face sweated and his back became cold. His body couldn't move at all.

Because at this moment, from the corpse of the man who had died in front of him, a white shadow, blurry, like a gas, quietly came out and floated before him. With a face exactly the same as the middle-aged man's face before, his appearance looked very angry and smiled coldly.

"Tsk tsk tsk... You're truly cautious and determined at such a young age."
