#320 - Chapter 320: Being a Knife

Faced with the aloof questioning of the beautiful, celestial-like immortals, Cheng Feng and the others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with fear and hesitation.

Judging by the situation, refusal was definitely not an option, but if they agreed to these two cultivators' request, would they face even more terrifying consequences?

This was worth discussing.

By being able to spare the monk's life and bring him over, Cheng Feng already knew what the three of them could be used for.

But did they have the right to resist?

No, they did not.

"We... are willing," Su Qiang mustered his courage and preemptively answered on behalf of the three. This was their only choice. The situation was truly difficult!

Cheng Feng was his brother-in-law, and Wei Zhuang was Cheng Feng's loyal follower. If he died, his sister could still receive preferential treatment from Cheng Feng.

But if Cheng Feng died, wouldn't his sister become a widow?

The Su family's revenge was still waiting for Cheng Feng to avenge him!

Seeing Su Qiang step forward first, the two immortals showed no reaction. The task was the same for anyone; it was just killing a monk.

"Alright, since you've stepped forward, then it'll be you! Don't worry, it's not difficult, but rather a good thing.

Would you like to become cultivators like us? To fly through the sky and be capable of anything? Kill this monk, and we'll bestow upon you a great opportunity."

Hearing that there was such a good thing, Su Qiang's eyes lit up.

Su Qiang's heart couldn't help but beat faster, his eyes flashing with excitement and trepidation. He looked around, confirming that he hadn't misheard.

This sudden opportunity was like a timely rain, instantly allowing this ordinary martial artist to see the light of dawn to change his fate.

"Re... really?" Su Qiang's voice trembled slightly, asking with both disbelief and anticipation. He looked at the two immortals, only to see them smiling, their eyes revealing an unquestionable dignity and compassion.

"Of course, it's true. We never go back on our word," Hua Xie lightly parted her vermilion lips, her voice crisp and melodious, like a mountain spring, washing away the dust in Su Qiang's heart.

"Opportunity and trial coexist. You must complete this task with a pure heart, and then you can begin your path of cultivation."

Hearing this from the side, Cheng Feng felt that they were just trying to fool an idiot. Could the opportunities given by others really be so easy to obtain?

Su Qiang took a deep breath, his gaze becoming firm. He looked at the "monk" who had been mentioned, only to see him sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, his face peaceful, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

But Su Qiang knew that beneath this tranquility was also a powerful immortal.

But for the sake of the long-dreamed-of path of cultivation, he was willing to try.

"Alright! I am willing to accept this trial!" Su Qiang said loudly, his voice filled with unquestionable determination.

"Remember, we are testing not only your courage, but also your mind and choices. Once you start, there is no turning back," Hua Kai also softly reminded, her voice like a spring breeze, slightly calming Su Qiang's nervous mood.

As the immortal's words fell, the entire scene seemed to freeze for a moment. Su Qiang took a deep breath, stepped forward, and slowly walked towards the monk. Every step seemed exceptionally heavy, because he knew that once this step was taken, there would be no turning back.

Just as Su Qiang was about to approach the monk, a breeze blew by, bringing with it an unusual aura.

The monk slowly opened his eyes, his eyes deep and bright, as if able to see through all things in the world. He smiled slightly, the smile containing both recognition of Su Qiang's choice and seeming to hide some kind of deep meaning.

"Benefactor, do you know that true cultivation does not lie in external power, but in the cultivation of the inner self," the monk's voice was gentle and powerful, penetrating Su Qiang's heart. "If you are truly devoted to the Dao, why rush for this temporary gain?"

But Su Qiang remained unmoved: "What the master says is true, but cultivation opportunities are also earned.

Months ago, my whole family was killed, but no one came to help.

My younger sister took me to seek medical treatment alone, and no one came to help.

Today, seeing you immortals fighting here, I realized that my horizons were narrow.

For the sake of the immortal's cultivation method, I have no choice but to offend you."

With that, he raised his knife and slashed. Although Su Qiang's movements were fierce, facing the monk's seemingly impregnable body, his hundred-refined steel knife seemed so weak.

Each chop only sparked a string of sparks, but failed to cut even a fraction of the other's clothing. The monk still sat with his eyes closed, a faint smile on his lips, as if he didn't care about any of this.

Seeing this, Hua Xie frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. She knew that this monk was by no means an ordinary person. Therefore, she couldn't help but look at Cheng Feng and Wei Zhuang, her eyes containing a strange meaning.

Cheng Feng and Wei Zhuang naturally understood Hua Xie's gaze. The two exchanged a look, and without needing to say more, they tacitly stepped forward at the same time, each using their own special skills, trying to help Su Qiang break through this seemingly insurmountable defense.

Cheng Feng waved the long knife in his hand, the knife like thunder, bringing with it the sound of breaking wind, taking the vital point of the monk's neck; while Wei Zhuang's figure was agile, like a ghost, the Shark Tooth in his hand flashing with cold light, specializing in the monk's flaws.

Although the two men's attacks were fierce and their cooperation seamless, they still failed to cause the monk any harm.

The monk still sat quietly with his eyes closed, his body seeming to have an invisible shield that dissolved all attacks into nothingness. The faint smile on his face always remained, as if he was enjoying this sudden contest, or as if he was testing Su Qiang and the others' determination and perseverance.

"Hmph, mere mortals, daring to try and shake my defensive Buddhism?" The monk finally spoke, his voice light, but with an unquestionable majesty, "The path of cultivation is not achieved overnight, you need to be single-minded and persevere. If you truly have this ambition, you should first abandon darkness and turn to the light."

Hearing this, Su Qiang and the others were all shocked, and the weapons in their hands couldn't help but stop.

They looked at each other, unable to break the monk's defense, and there was no use in continuing.

Seeing this situation, Hua Xie looked again at the half of the short sword belonging to Li Chenfeng in her sister Hua Kai's hand.

Hua Kai was a little reluctant, but seeing the situation in front of her, she had no choice but to reluctantly take out the short sword and put it in Hua Xie's hand.

Hua Xie then took out her metallic willow branch and her sister Hua Kai's black thorn whip and handed them to Cheng Feng and the others.

"Your ordinary weapons are not very good, come, one for each of you, as long as you kill the monk, all three of you will be given opportunities."

Looking at the broken sword in his hand and the weapons of the other two, Cheng Feng was also stunned.

The thoughts in his heart indeed became more and more profound.

This sudden, heaven-defying opportunity may not be so easy to take down!!!

Giving Wei Zhuang a look, Wei Zhuang exchanged the willow branch in his hand for Cheng Feng's broken sword.

Cheng Feng, with his back to the two immortals, surveyed the situation in front of him and thought to himself: "I wonder if the machine dog's bullets can cause effective damage."
