Collapse: The World I Live In

"Hey... are you kidding me..." Yi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the sky full of mercury flying swords. Why did this scene feel so similar to the one in the immortal cultivation novels where all the swords return to their origin? Could it be that what they were cultivating was the Honkai energy?

"Be careful!" Ying immediately grasped the handle of the knife. She felt that something was about to come out of the coffin.

With a bang, the coffin flew up, and a figure slowly sat up. The figure that looked like a mummy made the hairs of several people stand up, but in an instant, the withered body recovered to the normal state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A voice from ancient times sounded in the underground palace at this moment, "Are you the ones who woke me up?"

"This... immortal?" Alicia said tentatively.

"Immortal?... No one has ever called me that except my disciples..." As the voice rang out, the torches around them also lit up, allowing the three people to see clearly the person sitting in the coffin.

"Disciple?" Ying looked at the alchemist in front of her cautiously. She felt the threat of death from this man.

The man then stood up and came behind the three people in an instant.

"Who are you?" Yi asked, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Haven't you guessed it?" the man looked into Yi's eyes and said, as if he had seen through Yi's heart.

"Xu Fu...right?" Yi said, looking at the silk-clad Taoist priest in front of him. He couldn't believe that this person was the so-called Xu Fu, after all, he was a figure from more than 2,000 years ago. However, according to the records on the stone tablet, maybe it was really him. Could it be that he really succeeded in seeking immortality and obtained the elixir of life? This was totally unscientific?

"Xu Fu? According to historical records, didn't he end up in the Far East?" Ying was very confused. People in the Far East admired Xu Fu very much.

"Isn't Xu Fu a big historical liar? Legend has it that he was a disciple of Guiguzi, who first deceived Qin Shihuang and finally ran to the Far East?" Alicia said directly without caring about Xu Fu himself. Yidu was worried for Alicia. This Xu Fu was not someone to be trifled with. He was completely different from those who had met on the island before.

"Big liar?" Although Xu Fu was not clear about the meaning of modern words, he still understood that this must be a bad thing.

Whether he was a big liar or not is not the point, but based on the fact that Xu Fu is still alive today, he may have really found the so-called elixir of life, and then he may have embezzled it...

"Where exactly is this island? Is it Penglai or Yingzhou... or Fangzhang..." Yi asked Xu Fu. He wanted to obtain more information before the two sides started fighting.

"... yes and no... maybe this is not an island..." Xu Fu said slowly, his voice was very light, but full of oppression.

Not an island? What does that mean? Could it be that this island is alive?

"Junior? You seem nervous?" Xu Fu asked Yi.

"How could that be possible? I was just surprised to see the ancients..." Yi explained quickly.

"Really?" After Xu Fu finished speaking, he stretched out his hands towards Yi. Upon seeing this, Yi hurriedly pulled Alicia and Sakura and retreated behind him. His eyes turned into Sharingan and he looked at Xu Fu cautiously.

"Senior...what are you doing..." Yi asked as he looked at the mercury gathering behind Xu Fu.

"It's nothing...it's just that your bodies are really interesting...and look very delicious..." Xu Fu said, and the mercury gathered behind him was ready to go.

"Delicious?" Yi said, and Yi thought of the corpses on the island and his nerves tensed up again.

"Immortality has a price... Your flesh and blood may help me... become a real immortal!" Xu Fu said slowly, and the mercury sword behind him shot towards the three people. Xu Fu was very sure that with the flesh and blood of these three people, he would be able to become an immortal! Instead of relying on cannibalism to survive.

"Susanoo!" Yi quickly deployed Susanoo to protect the three people.

Afterwards, Sakura rushed out of the smoke screen and slashed at Xu Fu with a knife, while Alicia shot arrows to cover Sakura's attack, but Sakura's attack was blocked by Xu Fu's mercury in the air.

"What is this? Soul steel?" Yi was very surprised. Could it be that soul steel has existed more than two thousand years ago?

"You seem surprised? I was also surprised to encounter this kind of metal on this island." Xu Fu looked at Yi and said, but he would not show mercy, because he was hungry when he just woke up.

Xu Fu passed Ying and came to Yi in an instant. His hand touched Yi's Susanoo. "Not bad..." Then, Xu Fu raised his hand and a mercury sword appeared in his hand. Then countless slashes were slashed at Alicia and Yi. Yi was stunned. There was no record in the historical materials that Xu Fu knew swordsmanship? This is because the ancient swordsmanship and modern swordsmanship routines are completely different. Yi thought about it and it was true. After all, in this thousand years, Xu Fu could not have created only those products on the island.

Yi and Alicia immediately prepared for battle, but in an instant Susanoo shattered. Yi now realized that the sword in Xu Fu's hand was not an ordinary soul steel sword. Yi immediately used the wind field to bounce himself and Alicia away to avoid Xu Fu's attack.

“…………Ranked thirteenth in the sword list, Amaterasu… You should have heard of it… This one is made of soul steel to imitate Amaterasu…” Xu Fu said slowly.

Ying took advantage of this opportunity to come behind Xu Fu and looked straight at him. She used all her strength in this attack and directly cut off Xu Fu's head.

"Nice swordsmanship..." Xu Fu praised Ying. He had not seen many female swordsmen who were so young and powerful.

Afterwards, granulation tissue grew directly on Xu Fu's neck and reconnected his head.

"I also know a little about swordsmanship..." Xu Fu said. He had practiced hard for many years just because he was afraid that the First Emperor would come after him. He was so determined to conceal this half plant of the elixir that he forgot the concept of time.

As for why the so-called elixir of life is half a plant, it is because half of it was taken by Xu Fu for experiments to explore whether it was the elixir of life. But in the end, a man-eating monster was created. The monster possessed extraordinary abilities. Xu Fu paid a heavy price to capture him, but he also came to the conclusion that this was the elixir of life.

What a great temptation! Xu Fu did not succumb to this temptation, and simply concealed the matter of the elixir of immortality, and never returned to Shenzhou.

Then he took the boys and girls to the Far East, taught them knowledge, and then returned to this island, using the Far East as his own granary. He also transported those people to Penglai for experiments. The monsters on the island were the products of the experiments, and those humanoid creatures were accepted as disciples by Xu Fu, and they themselves were the survivors of the three thousand boys and girls led by Xu Fu...

Xu Fu held the Gongbu sword and attacked Ying, "Crossing all directions!" He brought a lot of things with him when he went out to sea, including swords and swordsmanship.

The sword energy from this attack directly knocked Ying away, and then Xu Fu aimed at Yi who was flying in the air. At this moment, Yi had already unleashed the ability of a fusion warrior.

Countless sword lights flew towards him, and there was no way for Yi to do anything except to avoid them. However, Yi did not expect that Xu Fu could also fly, and his speed was incredibly fast. He came in front of Yi in an instant and swung his sword towards Yi. Yi quickly used the technique of virtualization to avoid the attack.

Xu Fu was very surprised by this ability and was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Ying immediately turned into a blue light and rushed towards Xu Fu quickly. The sword and the blue light crisscrossed. The frequently flashing light was actually the sparks produced when Ying and Xu Fu fought desperately.

Yi didn't expect that Xu Fu could actually withstand Ying's fierce attack. Ying is one of the most powerful fighters among the Fire Moths.

Xu Fu held Ying's sword with his right hand, and then a sword appeared out of thin air in his left hand and slashed towards Ying. Ying tried to defend herself but was still knocked away.

Yi also rushed forward and circled around Xu Fu, "Wire-controlled storm!" The strong wind turned into ropes to tie up Xu Fu, and then several pink spiral arrows rushed out and hit Xu Fu directly.

"Well done! Alicia!" Yi praised Alicia's timely attack.

"Of course~" Alicia said with a smile, lifting her hair.

At the moment when Alicia was secretly delighted, Xu Fu came directly in front of her. He looked at her expressionlessly and said, "You are very special..." Then he kicked Alicia away mercilessly. This girl gave Xu Fu a very strange feeling.

Upon seeing this, Yi hurriedly controlled the wind and lightning to form arrows to support Alicia, but before the charging was completed, Xu Fu suddenly appeared in front of Yi and easily interrupted Yi's casting process. At such a speed, Yi had no way to dodge. The continuous attack in one go attacked Yi madly. That was the swordsmanship that Xu Fu had practiced for hundreds of years.

Xu Fu was like one with the sword, leaving Yi with no power to fight back.

Yi didn't expect Xu Fu to be so powerful. His fighting power is almost as strong as that of a Herrscher, right? What on earth is he? An immortal? Or a monster?
