318: Chapter 318 The Evil Emperor Xuanjin Retreats

What appeared to be a casual strike contained astonishing Divine Power. Evil Emperor Xuanjin raised her fist to block, only to be smashed backward repeatedly by Ji Taichang's punch, her surrounding Devilish Qi thrown into disarray.

"Such a Cultivation Technique… You are not from the Five Great Sacred Grounds of the Eastern Desolate Region!"

"Who exactly are you?!"

A fierce light flashed in Evil Emperor Xuanjin's eyes as she retreated rapidly, putting distance between herself and Ji Taichang.

She formed hand seals, and black chains writhed madly, dancing like a sky full of tentacles as they pierced toward Ji Taichang, blotting out the sky.

Evil Emperor Xuanjin had to admit that in close-quarters combat, she was no match for Ji Taichang!

But when it came to competing in Divine Ability and Spell, her cultivation was, after all, an entire Realm higher than Ji Taichang's, so she still had some advantage.

Ji Taichang chuckled, sidestepping the entangling chains. The precious swords behind him chimed in unison, and as Sword Qi crisscrossed, it blocked all the incoming iron chains.

The Wheel of Laws behind him glowed with increasing intensity, and the endless sword casket trembled incessantly. Precious swords hovered in the air as Sword Intent coalesced into substance. Like ten thousand swords returning to their sect, they locked onto Evil Emperor Xuanjin so tightly that even the surrounding Devilish Qi was shredded to pieces by the Sword Intent.

In an instant, the two erupted into another earth-shaking battle!

The expressions of Lu Qingmeng and the other two women grew increasingly shocked. Watching Ji Taichang's towering figure, which resembled a Heavenly God descending to the mortal world, soft light filled their eyes, and their reverence deepened.

"Take down Chu Sheng!"

Nan Yin took a deep breath. Taking advantage of the fact that Evil Emperor Xuanjin's firepower was drawn by Ji Taichang, she immediately swung her sword and charged at Chu Sheng!

Lu Qingmeng and Cai Ling also reacted.

Cai Ling formed hand seals, and the square inch chessboard expanded in the wind, instantly merging into the Void Realm. Black and white lines spread around Chu Sheng, forcibly pulling him into the internal space of the square inch chessboard and completely sealing off his escape route!

Chu Sheng was still immersed in the joy of having Evil Emperor Xuanjin's help. He had been careless and failed to dodge, and caught off guard, he was trapped by the square inch chessboard.

By the time he regained his senses, he was met head-on by the full-force strikes of Nan Yin, Lu Qingmeng, and Cai Ling!!

Nan Yin brandished a precious sword, and the Space Law shook the heavens and earth. The sword light transformed into a Spatial Great Cleave, the terrifying aura of which made even Chu Sheng feel a palpitation of the heart.

Lu Qingmeng activated the dark cloud hundred refinements tower, which descended like an ancient divine mountain, vast and majestic.

The most terrifying was Cai Ling.

Her cultivation was at the Mahayana Stage Sixth Level, giving her an overwhelming advantage. At this moment, she unleashed the strongest Divine Ability of the Peacock Clan, and a sky full of seven-colored divine light descended like sharp swords!

Chu Sheng was terrified to the bone and immediately activated several Magic Treasures to protect his body.

But even with the god-slaying nail, that great killing weapon, he could hardly withstand the combined offensive of Cai Ling, Nan Yin, and Lu Qingmeng, and was beaten until his body was torn apart, suffering heavy injuries.

"No… you cannot kill me!"

"I am an Old Ancestor of the Shuiyue Holy Land! Nan Yin, you cannot kill each other, you cannot harm your fellow Disciples, otherwise the Holy Master will not spare you!"

Chu Sheng was covered in blood, his eyes filled with fear, and he let out a hysterical scream.

Seeing that the three women, Nan Yin and the others, remained unmoved, Chu Sheng shouted again: "Stop! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"

"I shouldn't have attacked Ji Taichang, I shouldn't have colluded with Evil Emperor Xuanjin… I beg you to spare my life, give me a chance to turn over a new leaf!"

"I, I am willing to be your beast of burden, I will give you all the resources and treasures of the Chu family!"

"As long as you can spare my life, I, I am willing to do anything… Ahhh!!!"

Before Chu Sheng could finish his words, the attacks of Nan Yin, Lu Qingmeng, and Cai Ling descended like a landslide and tsunami, blasting Chu Sheng into a mist of blood, with even his Primordial Spirit rapidly annihilating.

But at this critical moment, mysterious Devilish Qi surged from Chu Sheng's Primordial Spirit, transforming into a streak of black light that forcibly rushed out of the internal space of the square inch chessboard and submerged into the string of demonic beads around Evil Emperor Xuanjin's neck.

"That was… Chu Sheng's Primordial Spirit!?"

Ji Taichang, who was in a fierce battle with Evil Emperor Xuanjin, narrowed his eyes. Possessing the Heavenly Fox True Pupil, he saw the truth at a glance.

"He managed to escape even like this?!"

Cai Ling, Nan Yin, and Lu Qingmeng were dumbfounded. They immediately rushed out of the internal space of the square inch chessboard, but Chu Sheng's Primordial Spirit was already gone.

Bang!! With an earth-shattering explosion echoing, after Evil Emperor Xuanjin and Ji Taichang traded a blow, they both retreated, each standing on one side and facing each other from a distance.

"Heh… I thought it would be that little girl Ling Qinghan who would take action, but I didn't expect you to have brought reinforcements from other regions."

Evil Emperor Xuanjin took a deep look at Ji Taichang, a cold sneer curling her lips: "But don't think you can get away unscathed. Ji Taichang killed a Disciple of the War God Temple with Supreme-grade talent and also killed an Elder of the War God Temple at the Peak of the Body Integration Stage. I have already sent the news to the War God Temple, so just wait!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Taichang, Lu Qingmeng, and Su Wanqing all narrowed their eyes in shock!

"How could she know about this?!"

"Ghost Bone Demon Lord was clearly destroyed in body and soul, and I also erased the memories of everyone except Aunt Meng and Xiao Wanwan. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for a third party to know!"

Ji Taichang frowned, unable to figure out how Evil Emperor Xuanjin knew about this matter.

But Evil Emperor Xuanjin had no intention of explaining. She sneered, slowly retreated three steps, and her figure suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only a chilling sentence.

"Do take care of yourselves, we are not finished yet!"

"I do not believe that this expert from another region will protect you forever!"

Apparently, even until this moment, Evil Emperor Xuanjin did not believe that the Ji Taichang in front of her was the real Ji Taichang. She did not believe that a Body Integration Stage Ninth Level cultivation could contend with the Mahayana Stage Ninth Level, and she had believed from the beginning to the end that Ji Taichang was an imposter played by another expert.

"Master, Chu Sheng escaped, but we picked up this."

Cai Ling took out the god-slaying nail and handed it to Ji Taichang.

Ji Taichang shook his head: "Chu Sheng did not escape; he was taken away by Evil Emperor Xuanjin."

Cai Ling, Nan Yin, and Lu Qingmeng were slightly surprised to hear this, but they were not too shocked.

After all, Chu Sheng had already colluded with Evil Emperor Xuanjin, so it was normal for him to be protected by her.

"The Qingyun Sect Secret Realm… can no longer be stayed in."

Ji Taichang's eyes flickered; he had already made a decision in his heart.

This place had been targeted by Evil Emperor Xuanjin and was no longer safe.

Nan Yin said: "We can take all the people of the Qingyun Sect to the Shuiyue Holy Land. I am now at the Mahayana Stage, so no one would dare to say anything if I protect some Qingyun Sect Disciples."

"No!"

Ji Taichang immediately shook his head.

That woman Ling Qinghan was an enemy Ji Taichang would have to deal with in the future. He absolutely could not put the people of the Qingyun Sect in the Shuiyue Holy Land, otherwise, it would be walking right into a trap!

"This… why not?"

Nan Yin, Lu Qingmeng, Su Wanqing, and Cai Ling all wore confused expressions, quite puzzled.

In their view, Ji Taichang was a Disciple of the Shuiyue Holy Land, and Nan Yin was an Old Ancestor of the Shuiyue Holy Land. Logically speaking, there was no place safer than the Shuiyue Holy Land, right?
