Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

"The problem is, they may already know what I really look like."

Xu Lei said, "It’s possible that you and Xin’er have caught their attention as well.

And we only have two Magical Treasures that can alter our appearances.

That means we can only disguise two people at a time. A third person is out of luck.

This is rather troublesome.

If we want to avoid being targeted for assassination...

It probably means the three of us can’t travel together openly anymore.

Only two of us can go out at a time."

"It is indeed a bit troublesome."

Jingchun added, "After all, we never know when those Demons might compel another Loose Cultivator to come after us.

But since they dared to make a move against us...

We can’t just let them get away with it.

Let’s go take a look at the Eastern Wilderness Marsh.

Didn’t he say that the Enchantress comes to the outskirts to communicate with him?

If that’s true, we’ll strike together and capture that Enchantress.

Actually, I wasn’t using my full strength just now.

I have another killing blow that’s even more powerful.

If we can launch a surprise attack, it might just work.

It consumes a fair bit of Magical Power to use...

...but if we can get a Demon Core out of it, it should be well worth the cost."

Half an hour later, Xu Lei and Jingchun didn’t go directly to the Eastern Wilderness Marsh. Instead, they first returned to the city.

They still hadn’t killed the two mortal swordsmen from before.

Since they dared to take part in the attack, they had to be killed.

The two mortal swordsmen hadn’t gotten far.

They were captured quickly.

After all, they were already seriously injured.

Naturally, they couldn’t have run far.

"Sir?"

"Sir’s hand?"

The two mortal swordsmen saw that the man from before was now missing an arm.

Their faces turned pale as they looked back at Xu Lei and Jingchun.

The man they saw as incomparably powerful...

...had gone out for a short while and returned a cripple.

He had even been brought back, captured by Xu Lei and Jingchun like a helpless chick.

"JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE!"

Xu Lei didn’t waste any words on the two mortals.

He directly activated the Bell.

He had the two Human Puppets charge forward, and with a swift flash of their blades, they cut the men down.

Afterward, Xu Lei and Jingchun finally set off for the Eastern Wilderness Marsh.

「Three days later.」

Xu Lei and Jingchun arrived at the outskirts of the Eastern Wilderness Marsh.

"This is the place!"

The Broken Arm man had aged tremendously in the past few days. He said weakly, "You’ve already crippled me.

It’s all because of that Demon that I’ve ended up like this.

Since I’m ruined, I can’t let it get away scot-free.

So I’m telling the truth, I’m really showing you the location.

You swore an oath before. You said you wouldn’t kill me if I cooperated.

Now, you have to let me go, right?"

Jingchun remained silent.

They had indeed sworn such an oath, which was the only reason the man had led them here.

’There was no real need to keep promises made to an enemy.’

’But breaking an oath and killing him directly still felt wrong.’

’After all, an oath was a powerful, karmic thing.’

Even Cultivators like them held a healthy respect for such unseen forces.

’But let this guy go now? That was impossible.’

From the very beginning, neither Xu Lei nor Jingchun had any intention of letting him go.

"Stay quiet."

Xu Lei patted his shoulder. "Don’t worry, we definitely won’t break our oath.

We only swore that *we* wouldn’t kill you. We never said anything about letting you go."

The bound Broken Arm man’s eyes widened, his face filled with rage.

But before he could say anything, Xu Lei sealed his mouth shut, cutting off his useless protests.

「Another half an hour passed.」

Suddenly, Jingchun’s body trembled before him.

Then, the look in her eyes changed.

Zhao Xin had taken over.

"Uncle Hui Chi!"

Sure enough, the woman who was just Jingchun blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "So this is the edge of the Eastern Wilderness Marsh?

Who’s he?

Oh, is he that traitorous Loose Cultivator who colluded with the Demon, the one who poisoned and ambushed you?

He really does look shifty and villainous. You can tell he’s a bad guy just by looking at him."

While traveling to the Eastern Wilderness Marsh, Xu Lei and Jingchun had sent a letter back to Zhao Xin, letting her know where they were going.

They told her not to worry.

They had also mentioned their recent encounter.

"That’s right. It’s him."

Xu Lei nodded. "He is a bit ugly, isn’t he?"

"He did such a terrible thing! Why is he still alive?"

Zhao Xin asked. "Aren’t you going to kill him?"

Meanwhile, the Broken Arm man could only stare, completely dumbfounded.

He couldn’t understand why the beautiful, buxom Daoist Nun in front of him had suddenly changed into a completely different person.

Why did she keep saying "you"? It was as if she herself hadn’t been the one ambushed earlier.

It was the first time the Broken Arm man had ever encountered such a phenomenon.

For a moment, he was completely bewildered.

But before he could say another word...

After Xu Lei explained the matter of the oath, Zhao Xin, a blade in her delicate hand, swung it and slit the Broken Arm man’s throat.

Fresh blood gushed out.

His life force slowly faded away.

She looked into the man’s eyes.

"The one who swore not to kill you wasn’t me."

Zhao Xin put away her blade and clapped her hands. "So I’m not breaking any oaths."

The man could only die in bitter resentment.

"Uncle Hui Chi, how did Xin’er do?"

Zhao Xin said, "Did I do a good job? I want a reward!"

"You did wonderfully!"

Xu Lei said. "What kind of reward do you want? Name it!"

"Charitable Giving."

Zhao Xin said, "A whole lot of Charitable Giving."

"This? Haha, alright."

Xu Lei said, "Come here, and I’ll give you a proper reward."

And then...
