Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150: Immortality? The Great Path?

“Xiaofan, watch out!”

Bai Qingcheng wanted to rush to help, but he was already too late, especially with Old Qi constantly entangling him. He had no choice but to shout loudly to remind Bai Xiaofan, hoping Bai Xiaofan could dodge this sword!

At the same time, without hesitation, Bai Qingcheng swung his hand, tracing five silvery-white streaks of light across the air as if to tear through the void itself. In another reckless clash against Old Qi, he fiercely grabbed onto his opponent’s arm!

Rip!

Old Qi’s entire arm was violently ripped away by Bai Qingcheng’s move!

Instantly, a column of blood gushed from Old Qi’s severed arm.

However, due to the bone-chilling cold air around, the blood immediately froze in mid-air as it spewed out, finally dropping to the ground.

After tearing off one of Old Qi’s arms, Bai Qingcheng paid him no more mind and immediately turned around to rush towards Bai Xiaofan.

His sister only had this one son. If anything happened to Bai Xiaofan, his sister would definitely kill him!

However, just as Bai Qingcheng rushed over, he was shocked by the scene unfolding before him!

It wasn’t just him. Even Old Qi, who had lost an arm and was trying hard to stop him, was momentarily stunned, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.

This… is it an illusion?

Old Qi senior, charging at Bai Xiaofan, was currently not fighting Bai Xiaofan but was instead battling a phantom figure.

And it seemed like the fight was quite evenly matched.

The most important thing was that both Bai Qingcheng and Old Qi recognized this phantom figure.

Even though they were not familiar with him, they knew who he was!

Old Wu!

But precisely because they knew it was Old Wu, both Bai Qingcheng and Old Qi were stunned.

Wasn’t Old Wu killed by Bai Xiaofan?

How does he appear here now?

And he’s helping Bai Xiaofan to fight against Old Qi senior?

Besides, they knew Old Wu’s power level was nowhere near the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. How could he battle so fiercely with Old Qi senior at the peak of Transcendance?

A series of questions surfaced in their minds!

Boom!

At this moment, from the side, a muffled sound emerged from the body of Old Qi third, who had been standing still.

Then he bent one knee slightly and knelt on the ground!

“Old Third!”

It was only then that Old Qi reacted, hurriedly shouting.

Upon hearing Old Qi’s call, Old Third turned his head bewilderedly, looking at him in a daze.

“Second brother, I saw our parents, I saw Xiaoli!”

Old Third’s voice was a little hoarse, somewhat weathered, filled with depth and sorrow!

“We’ve been away for so long. I could almost no longer remember the faces of our parents and Xiaoli. I always thought all these years, I still held a grudge against Xiaoli, even thinking of going to her family and killing all her relatives and descendants!”

“But just now, I relived the moment when Xiaoli left. Although I was still angry, I no longer hated her!”

“I don’t blame her, not at all. Back then, I was good for nothing, a graduate of a low-tier university. How could I expect her to suffer with me? She was so beautiful, so young, and I couldn’t promise her a bright future at that time!”

“She chose someone else, and that’s her freedom. Isn’t loving someone all about making them happy?”

Old Third seemed to fall into his memories, speaking softly. As he reached the last sentence, a glimmer of happiness appeared in his muddled gaze—happiness from deep within his heart.

Then, Old Third continued speaking.

“Big brother, second brother, we three brothers left home together back then, saying we would make something of ourselves and return to honor our parents. Later, we accidentally joined a sect, thinking we would return after learning well!”

“But by the time we achieved something, twenty years had rapidly passed, and our parents were already gone. We couldn’t even fulfill our filial duties anymore!”

“Later, as we grew stronger, left the sect, and established our families and careers, achieving great renown as the Qi family, no one in all of China dared to provoke us except those hidden sects and families!”

“But does that really make us happy? What’s the point of pursuing cultivation? Longevity?”

Old Third shook his head with a bitter smile.

“If you don’t even have a true love by your side, what’s the use of living long?”

Listening to Old Third, everyone was momentarily stupefied.

Including Bai Qingcheng, who was no exception!

They didn’t know whether Old Third’s words were right or wrong; they only knew their hearts were moved, like a spilled bottle of emotions, feeling uncomfortable!

People live in search of power, and some in search of wealth!

Everyone has pursuits!

But what should cultivators pursue?

Longevity?

Impossible…

The great path?

Endlessly distant, never seen…

As his words fell, the life within Old Third completely dissipated, his body gradually stiffening, and he died on one knee.

Yet, his lips curled slightly, holding a faint smile.

“Killer, I will kill you!”

Noticing Old Third had no lifeforce left, Old Qi was immediately enraged, ignoring Bai Qingcheng’s obstacles, waving his single remaining arm, and rushed towards Bai Xiaofan!

Boom!

Bai Xiaofan was hit by a palm strike from him, causing him to stagger backward several steps, eventually spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face growing even paler.

Already weak and exhausted, further drained from using Divine Sense to perform the Artistic Conception of Time, Bai Xiaofan had no strength left to fight Old Qi!

This palm strike from Old Qi was like adding frost to snow for Bai Xiaofan!

Had it not been for his abnormal physique, he might have already perished!

Old Qi still wanted to attack again, but he was grabbed by the shoulder by Old Qi senior, who was fighting Old Wu, and was swiftly taken away towards the distance.

Of course, Old Qi senior didn’t forget Old Qi third who had died!

Old Qi senior knew well that it was no longer possible to kill Bai Xiaofan today, not with Old Wu present, and Bai Qingcheng closing in. They would have to find another chance to avenge Old Qi third later!

Bai Qingcheng glanced at the departing figures of Old Qi senior and the others, choosing not to pursue. Instead, he hurriedly came to Bai Xiaofan’s side, taking out a pill for Bai Xiaofan to swallow, then sending a surge of vital energy into Bai Xiaofan’s body to aid his recovery!

Bai Xiaofan regulated his breathing for a while, then with a wave of his hand, collected Old Wu, whom he had refined into a killing spirit.

This was one of his trump cards, a card hidden for a very long time!
