36: Chapter 36 Wu Ji, who brought about his own destruction

Between the stone crevices of a cliff, a golden flower took root and swayed in the wind. Strands of the Sun's Essence gathered from between heaven and earth, causing its entire body to shimmer with faint golden light.

A Rank Three Spirit Medicine, the Sun-Burning Sunflower!

Ji Taichang suddenly charged out of the battle formation and headed straight for the cliff, attracting the attention of many.

Just as Ji Taichang reached the cliff and reached out his large hand toward the Sun-Burning Sunflower, a sudden change occurred!

Swoosh!!

A sharp arrow trailing a brilliant tail of light shot toward Ji Taichang with a chilling aura!

Ji Taichang's brows furrowed as the Quick Sword at his waist instantly left its scabbard. Faster than a lightning bolt, he slashed out a ten-zhang-long flaming Sword Qi, which collided with the sharp arrow in mid-air with a dull, heavy boom.

The arrow was shattered by Ji Taichang's sword strike, exploding in mid-air like blooming fireworks as flames soared into the sky.

"Why are you attacking me?"

Ji Taichang slightly narrowed his eyes, staring directly at Wu Ji with an unfriendly expression!

Wu Ji repelled the heavily injured demon bird leader with a backhand sword strike, then raised the great bow in his hand once more, pointing an arrow at Ji Taichang!

A cold sneer hung on his lips. "A mere servant dares to lay a finger on a Rank Three Spirit Medicine?"

"Be a good boy and bring that Sun-Burning Sunflower over, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being heartless!"

Since Ji Taichang followed Qin Wenhua, Wu Ji assumed he was Qin Wenhua's subordinate.

Furthermore, Qin Miaoyi seemed to be paying quite a bit of attention to Ji Taichang while ignoring Wu Ji's performance, which made Wu Ji quite displeased with him!

Before Wu Ji could even finish speaking, Ji Taichang suddenly appeared in front of him as if teleporting!

"Did I give you too much face?!"

Slap!

Accompanied by a crisp and pleasant slapping sound, Wu Ji was sent flying through the air like a cannonball. He slammed into a small hill nearby, shattering a giant boulder into pieces as he was embedded so deeply into it that he couldn't even be pried out.

Wu Ji's face was swollen like a pig's head, his skull slightly deformed. He spat out a mouthful of old blood mixed with teeth and shredded flesh!

This scene was too sudden and terrifying, causing everyone present to tremble and their scalps to tingle with shock!

"Hiss—"

"This... this... this young man! Holy crap!"

"He actually dared to hit Young Master Wu Ji? And in such an insulting way as a slap to the face... whose subordinate is this? To be so valiant?!"

"He managed to heavily injure Young Master Wu with a single slap. What powerful strength!"

"When did the Seventh Young Master get such a fierce man under his command?"

Qin Miaoyi's subordinates all showed expressions of awe, tinged with a hint of disbelief!

It wasn't just because Ji Taichang's strength was extraordinary.

It was also because Ji Taichang actually dared to slap the Young Lord of the Wuya Sect across the face!

This was simply mind-blowing!

Even Qin Miaoyi was stunned for a moment, after which the corners of her mouth curled up into a peerless, world-toppling smile!

"No... Young Lord!?"

"Damned villain! To dare attack the Young Lord, you have already found your path to death!"

Wu Ji's subordinates were stunned at first, then became fly-blown with rage!

Three Wuya Sect Disciples charged out on the spot, erupting with powerful spiritual energy as they joined forces to attack Ji Taichang to avenge Wu Ji.

Ji Taichang didn't even spare them a glance. The Quick Sword at his waist left its scabbard and swung in an instant!

Bang!

Snow-bright Sword Qi bloomed, its sharp edge fully revealed!

Accompanied by three dull explosions, these three Wuya Sect Disciples were all sent flying by Ji Taichang's sword strike. Bloody wounds appeared on their bodies as they spat out large mouthfuls of blood, suffering heavy injuries!

"Just three pieces of roadside trash!"

Ji Taichang sheathed his Quick Sword and placed his hands behind his back, his gaze indifferent and contemptuous.

"You... are looking for death!"

Wu Ji let out a roar through gritted teeth, his eyes instantly turning blood-red. A burst of green spiritual energy erupted from his body as if he were covered in a layer of flames. The aura of the Foundation Establishment Stage Ninth Level Peak surged violently!

He stomped hard on the ground, shattering the giant boulder beneath his feet. He gripped a precious sword with both hands, which radiated brilliant Sword Qi, and slashed down fiercely at Ji Taichang!

"The Young Lord is truly enraged; this fellow is dead for sure!"

"Those of the Wuya Sect are not to be bullied!"

Seeing this, the Wuya Sect Disciples all had sinister smiles on their faces, as if they had already seen Ji Taichang being cut down by Wu Ji's sword.

Although Ji Taichang had just slapped Wu Ji away...

In everyone's view, it was only because Ji Taichang lacked martial integrity and had launched a sneak attack on Wu Ji!

Now that Wu Ji was truly furious and had unleashed his strongest ultimate move, Ji Taichang couldn't possibly be his match!

Qin Miaoyi and the others also stared intently at Wu Ji and Ji Taichang with expectant looks.

Previously, Qin Wenhua had praised Ji Taichang to the heavens.

But as for Ji Taichang's true strength, it would naturally be revealed after this battle with Wu Ji!
