System Bestows me with Immortality, Living on to Eventually Become Invincible

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he was about to raise his hand.@@novelbin@@

Boom!

At that moment, Black Bull surprisingly stood up, its hooves fiercely kicking the man's back like boulders crashing, the sound of breaking bones crackling in the air.

The man's face turned pale with shock, and with a retching sound, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, his mind reeling from the blow as his body leaned forward.

Chen Xun's chest heaved, adrenaline surging, but it made him extremely calm. He drew the Mountain-axing axe from his waist and fiercely chopped it down on the man's neck.

Although he controlled his strength, the cut was bone-deep, the axe lodged in the bone. Chen Xun's face was smeared with blood as he gasped for breath.

"Bull, get to work."

Chen Xun's pupils trembled slightly as he took out a flint. The surroundings were filled with dry wood, and Black Bull, not daring to dawdle, began to dig a pit on the side.

Flames roared on the ground, incinerating the corpse to erase the traces, the ashes scattered to the wind. Man and bull worked swiftly to destroy all evidence, carefully arranging the scene, daring not to take anything from the body.

They started running, faster and faster...

Chen Xun swore that he had never run so fast in his life, and Black Bull was even faster than him.

Two hours later, several people arrived at the scene of the crime, all frowning: "Sect Master, Liu Tian stopped right here."

"Why?"

"A young man was leading a black bull. It seems Brother Liu wanted to buy it to nourish the bodies of the new disciples."

"Heh."

The Sect Master stood on a tree branch, hands behind his back, observing the ground, "There are scorch marks, footprints are chaotic, directions unclear."

"Sect Master, could it be that Liu Tian has been harmed..."

The man was startled. Liu Tian was a master of the Iron Sect; if something really happened, there couldn't be no reaction at all.

"The perpetrator was meticulous, leaving not many traces. That young man is the key."

The Sect Master frowned, "Did anyone get a good look at his face?"

"Reporting to the Sect Master... no."

The man bowed his head in submission. Who would remember the face of a cowherd, especially during a mission?

"Waste."

"Sect Master, please calm your anger."

The others bowed their heads in submission, Liu Tian's death was indeed too strange.

"Let's go, we can't find anything more here. Take good care of his family. Without seeing the body, we can't be sure he's dead."

The Sect Master sighed lightly, not believing that someone could commit murder and incinerate a body in such a short time.

"Yes, Sect Master."

They stepped lightly, moving as swiftly as swallows, disappearing among the trees in the blink of an eye.

...

By a river, Chen Xun lay flat, washing away the bloodstains, gazing at the sky, slightly dazed.

Black Bull was also playing in the water, suddenly splashing water on Chen Xun's face, snapping him back to reality with a start.

"Bull, well done this time. Remember, when you strike from the shadows, waste no words."

Chen Xun spoke coldly, believing in the principle of a life for a life, not a saint, "We don't provoke others, but if anyone harbors murderous intent towards us, we'll grind their bones to dust!"

Moo! Moo!

Black Bull snorted fiercely. Whoever dared to touch Chen Xun, it dared to kick, even to death.

They burned all their clothes by the river, and Chen Xun changed into new garments, spending the night by the riverbank.

The night passed without incident, and they continued on their journey. They were headed to a large city, rumored to be much safer than the wilderness, with many cultivators residing there.

...

Half a year later, at year's end, the setting sun cast a bloody glow, and a young man leading a black bull appeared on the horizon.

In the distance lay a sprawling city, like a predatory beast eyeing passersby.

Panning City, with its long history, bustled at the city gates, lively and full.

The city forbade fighting, maintaining order, thriving economically, backed by the Cloud Mountains. The townspeople often went up the mountains to collect spiritual herbs to sell to cultivators.

The Cloud Mountains were vast and endless, rumored to house immortal sects hidden deep within the mists, unseen by the world.

"Wow, I've never seen such magnificent city walls before."

Chen Xun marveled, smiling as he gazed at the somewhat weathered walls, "Bull, our new life is about to begin."

Moo!

Black Bull cheered, equally astonished by the massive city, far larger than the fences in their village.

"In such a grand world, to traverse mountains and rivers, to experience the world's splendor, that is the meaning of immortality."

Chen Xun's eyes brimmed with anticipation, "Bull, charge!"

Moo!

Man and bull trotted off, kicking up dust. Chen Xun laughed heartily, leading the bull, while Black Bull mooed along.

Passersby shook their heads with a smile, envying their youthful vigor.

The gates of Panning City were immense, with countless carriages and people herding cattle and sheep moving in and out without congestion.

Chen Xun looked around in amazement, smiling back at anyone who looked his way, naturally endearing himself to them.

He was intrigued by the city guards in ancient attire, impressive and full of youthful vigor.

A guard frowned, noticing a young man eyeing them, about to approach.

But the young man gave a thumbs up, affirming with his eyes. The guard stopped, nodded with a smile, understanding the gesture.

Entering the city, they were struck by its openness. Man and bull stood still as a magnificent scene unfolded before them.

The streets were wide, with vendors calling out their wares and street performers entertaining, surrounded by cheering crowds tossing coins.

Silk-clad pedestrians walked by, exuding an ancient charm, while poets and beauties recited poetry in the pavilions above, a dazzling sight that left Chen Xun and Black Bull mesmerized.

"Bravo!"

Moo!

Chen Xun and Black Bull watched the street performers, adding to the atmosphere. Suddenly, Chen Xun struggled with the idea of getting something for free.

After fumbling at his waist, he tossed a coin into the gong. The performer, hearing the sound, turned to Chen Xun and breathed fire, a spectacular sight.

"Bravo!"

Chen Xun laughed joyfully, applauding. Black Bull was startled, thinking the performer was a cultivator, amazed by the city's grandeur.

After watching for a while, they left the crowd, buying two skewers of candied hawthorns. Chen Xun took a bite, Black Bull took a bite, charming the passing young ladies into giggles.

"The craftsmanship is exquisite."

Chen Xun was amazed, admiring the handiwork of the street vendors, who made their living from their craft, with no room for fakery.

"Young man, see anything you like?" the vendor called out kindly.

"I'm just looking. I'll definitely buy when I have money."

Chen Xun smiled sheepishly, his words sincere.

"No worries. I have a damaged carving here. If you like it, take it."

The vendor pulled out a lifelike tiger statue with a damaged tail.

"Sir, let's trade some rice for it. I really like this carving."

"Deal!"

The vendor handed over the statue, and Chen Xun gave him some rice in exchange.

Back on the street, Chen Xun held the carving, treasuring it, making Black Bull envious. Why didn't the vendor give it one too?
