155: Chapter 155 Cleverness Backfires

Swoosh!!

Just as Ji Taichang was about to pick the great dream soul-returning fruit, a terrifying blade light suddenly attacked from behind like a streak of silver silk, filled with a chilling Killing Intent.

The azure kite sword in Ji Taichang's hand suddenly left its scabbard, and he slashed out behind him without even turning his head.

A cyan sword glow bloomed, accompanied by a wisp of the Supreme Sword Bone's power. Its sharpness was fully revealed as it collided with the blade light, producing a deafening explosion that sent terrifying power shockwaves sweeping in all directions.

Both the blade light and sword shadow dissipated.

"It's actually a great dream soul-returning fruit!!"

"Hahaha... Heaven is helping me!"

"We're going to be rich now!"

Eight figures appeared from different directions, all dressed in black, exuding the powerful Aura of the Soul Transformation Stage!

Especially the leader in black, who held a silver war blade; his cultivation Aura was as high as the Peak of the ninth level of the Soul Transformation Stage, not far from the Void Refinement Stage.

Their gazes bypassed Ji Taichang and stared fixedly at the great dream soul-returning fruit. Their eyes were glowing, filled with immense surprise and excitement!

This was a Grade Seven precious medicine!

It was invaluable even to Body Integration Stage experts, let alone Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators like them.

"They are those people from the Seven Star Palace from before!"

Yun Qiyao's eyes narrowed, and she immediately sent a voice transmission to Ji Taichang.

Although they had all used a Divine Ability secret technique to change their Aura and appearance, they still couldn't hide from Yun Qiyao's eyes!

"Seven Star Palace?"

Ji Taichang smiled. "I wondered why they left so simply; turns out they were planning a surprise return."

"Fine, they should just enter my human emperor flag!"

If the people from the Seven Star Palace had truly accepted their loss and left, Ji Taichang wasn't a bloodthirsty person.

But since they insisted on returning for a sneak attack, they couldn't blame Ji Taichang for being merciless!

"Little Five, you go dig up the great dream soul-returning fruit tree. The rest of you, follow me!"

The leader in black spoke in a low voice, and the silver war blade in his hand erupted with a vigorous surge of power. The energy of heaven and earth gathered at the blade's edge as his powerful cultivation at the Peak of the ninth level of the Soul Transformation Stage exploded without reservation, slashing once more toward Ji Taichang!!

One of the black-clothed men tried to bypass Ji Taichang and Lan Huaying to charge toward the great dream soul-returning fruit.

The other six also unleashed their strongest killing moves, joining forces to blast toward Ji Taichang.

One after another, powerful attacks struck from all directions. The fluctuations of power rose and fell like a landslide or a tsunami, nothing short of terrifying!

With seven Soul Transformation Stage experts attacking together, almost no one below the Void Refinement Stage could withstand it!

But... Ji Taichang was the exception!

Boom—

Ji Taichang's eyes suddenly lit up with purple-gold light, and a terrifying golden glow erupted from his body, soaring into the sky. Above the firmament, endless starlight descended, condensing into a massive Human Emperor Dharma Idol that blotted out the sun.

The moment Ji Taichang activated the Ziwei Imperial Spirit Body, the energy of heaven and earth on everyone else was forcibly stripped away and surrounded Ji Taichang, causing his already powerful Aura to skyrocket further!

Not only that.

The Supreme Sword Bone in Ji Taichang's chest was also glowing. A grand Sword Intent awakened, shaking the heavens and the earth, making everyone's hair stand on end as they felt a sense of trembling and fear from the depths of their Soul!

"This... what is this?!"

The people of the Seven Star Palace were terrified. They saw Ji Taichang raise the azure kite sword, and the sun-blotting Human Emperor Dharma Idol above also slashed down with a sword!

Dong!!

The massive cyan sword crashed down, knocking away the silver war blade with unstoppable force and sending all eight Soul Transformation Stage experts from the Seven Star Palace flying.

The bodies of the five with lower cultivation exploded on the spot, leaving only their fragmented Primordial Spirits to flee in panic.

Even someone as strong as the silver-haired old woman, with her Peak ninth-level Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, was sent staggering by Ji Taichang's strike, blood leaking from the corner of her mouth.

"With a first-level Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, he heavily injured a Peak ninth-level Soul Transformation Stage expert with a single sword strike!"

"And he only used two Supreme-grade talents, without even using the Nirvana Demon Pupil..."

Even the well-traveled Yun Qiyao could hardly maintain her composure at this moment.

This kind of combat power was truly too terrifying, completely beyond normal imagination!

"He... he is very likely a Void Refinement Stage expert. Run!!"

The silver-haired old woman let out a low roar and was the first to turn and flee!

The other Seven Star Palace Cultivators also realized they had kicked a steel plate and scrambled away in different directions.

"You only think of running now?"

"Too late!!"

Ji Taichang grinned and pointed a finger. Along with the surging waves of monstrous Devilish Qi, the human emperor flag shot out like lightning. Wisps of black Qi rapidly spread, obscuring the surroundings and forming a massive barrier.

"How bitter!!"

Those five Primordial Spirits cried out strangely. They had no power to resist and were sucked into the human emperor flag on the spot.

"Stop... quickly stop!"

"I am Yu Xiaoman, a deacon of the Seven Star Palace. I ask Senior to spare our lives for the sake of the Seven Star Palace's Face!"

"Our Primordial Spirits all have imprints left by the Seven Star Palace. If Senior kills us, you will surely Face the relentless revenge of the Seven Star Palace. Please reconsider, Senior!"

The silver-haired old woman immediately begged for mercy, tearing off her black clothes to reveal her true appearance.

However, her slightly trembling body still exposed her true nature of being tough on the outside but weak on the inside.

"What are you blathering about?"

"Take this strike of mine!"

Ji Taichang's Face was full of a cruel grin. He showed no mercy at all, raising his hand to slash down with another sword strike!!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, this Great Rift Valley shook violently and cracked again. The area for thousands of miles around was trembling as if a massive earthquake had occurred.

Even though the silver-haired old woman's cultivation was as high as the Peak of the ninth level of the Soul Transformation Stage.

Before two Supreme-grade talents, she was still vulnerable. She was soon taken out by Ji Taichang's three sword strikes; her body exploded, and her Primordial Spirit was snatched and instantly refined!

"Truly brutal..."

Lan Huaying couldn't help but give a bitter smile. The way she looked at Ji Taichang was different now, with an added hint of envy and admiration.

Even though she was a True Disciple of the Shuiyue Holy Land.

She also understood that she and Ji Taichang were no longer from the same world.

Simply because Ji Taichang was too strong!

After absorbing the Primordial Spirits of eight Soul Transformation Stage experts.

The black Qi of the human emperor flag became increasingly dense, its Aura growing more cold and eerie. It was not far from becoming a High Grade Magic Treasure.

Ji Taichang's figure flickered, erupting with incredible speed as he charged straight out of the Great Rift Valley.

At this time.

Zhao Wanning and the others, who were hiding near the rift valley waiting, hadn't had time to leave before they saw a massive Dharma Idol appear before them. It grinned and grabbed down with a single palm!

That massive palm was like a falling canopy, locking down the space and leaving them nowhere to hide as it crashed down!

The result was beyond doubt.

Even Zhao Wanning had no power to resist. Their bodies were all crushed by Ji Taichang, and their Soul and Primordial Spirits were snatched and thrown into the human emperor flag.

"Let me out!!"

"I am the daughter of the Seven Star Palace's Palace Master, and my father is Zhao Qianhe!"

"My father is a great expert at the ninth level of the Void Refinement Stage, and my Seven Star Palace also has Body Integration Stage Old Ancestors!"

"If you dare to capture me, the Seven Star Palace will not let you go!"

"Bastard! Do you hear me..."

Zhao Wanning's Primordial Spirit struggled violently inside the human emperor flag, letting out bursts of screams, both shocked and furious.
