37: Chapter 37 A roadside

Amidst the nervous and expectant gazes of the crowd, Wu Ji merged with his sword, slashing out a brilliant and fierce sword beam. With a ferocious Aura, it slashed towards Ji Taichang!

Clang!

Ji Taichang casually raised his sword and clashed with Wu Ji. A crisp, piercing metallic vibration rang out, sparks flew everywhere, and the sound was so loud it made everyone's eardrums ache and buzz.

Yet, this seemingly ordinary strike caused Wu Ji's expression to change drastically. He felt an irresistible, terrifying force surge from his precious sword, sending him flying sideways, crashing once again into that stone mountain!

"Pfft!"

Wu Ji spat out a large mouthful of blood. He felt as if his internal organs had been displaced, his face turned deathly pale, and he had suffered heavy injuries!

In an instant, the area fell into a dead silence.

Qin Miaoyi and the others' eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

"This... how is this possible!"

A Disciple of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes filled with disbelief!

That was the strongest person of the Wuya Sect's younger generation!

A top Genius known as invincible below the Golden Core Stage!

Yet, such a Prodigy was actually struck down and heavily injured by a single sword strike from Ji Taichang!

If that slap from earlier was a sneak attack, this was a solid, head-on confrontation!

"Young Master Yang is awesome!"

Qin Wenhua and the others cheered, smiles on their faces, not surprised at all!

"He actually... is really this strong!?"

Even Qin Miaoyi widened her beautiful eyes, her rosy lips slightly parted, a great wave of shock rising in her heart!

Although Qin Wenhua had previously boasted about how incredibly powerful Ji Taichang was, seeing this scene with her own eyes still deeply shocked her.

He defeated Wu Ji in a single strike!

Even an ordinary first-level Golden Core Stage expert would likely find that difficult to achieve, right?

Wu Ji was not an Alchemist with weak combat power like Yang Yao; he was a genuine combat Genius, one of the top Prodigies in all of Lanzhou!

Even the surrounding Yao Beasts were startled, and their gazes towards Ji Taichang held a hint of fear.

"I... how could I be defeated by you so easily!?"

"It's fake... it must all be fake! It's all an illusion!"

"I don't believe it!!"

Wu Ji's hair was disheveled, his face twisted and ugly. He could not believe that he, one of the strongest Geniuses in Lanzhou, had been easily defeated in a single sword strike!

"Kill... kill, kill, kill!"

Wu Ji let out a roar, raised his precious sword, and charged at Ji Taichang once again.

Bang!

Ji Taichang kicked Wu Ji in the abdomen, sending both him and his sword flying, smashing him into the stone mountain once again, so hard he couldn't even be pried off.

"Hehehe..."

Ji Taichang had a malicious grin on his face as he walked towards Wu Ji step by step.

"Cough, cough... you, don't come over here!"

Wu Ji's hair was disheveled, his face covered in blood, and his gaze towards Ji Taichang was filled with shock, anger, and fear.

"Protect the Young Lord!"

Seeing this, the twelve Wuya Sect Disciples all let out roars and charged at Ji Taichang with a fearless attitude, attempting to protect Wu Ji.

Then they were all sent flying by a single sword strike from Ji Taichang.

A row of twelve by the roadside.

"My father is the Sect Master of the Wuya Sect!"

"If you dare to touch me, you definitely won't have a good ending!"

"The Wuya Sect will not let you off! You..."

Before Wu Ji could finish his sentence, Ji Taichang stepped up and threw two "bam, bam" punches, knocking him unconscious, then unceremoniously searched his body and took all the treasures on him.

"You... how dare you!"

Seeing this, the twelve Wuya Sect Disciples were so angry that their eyes were about to split open.

Then Ji Taichang walked past them and casually picked up the treasures on them.

"Take your Young Lord and get lost. If I see you again, it won't be as simple as just getting a beating. Get lost!"

Ji Taichang kicked a Wuya Sect Disciple.

If it weren't for the fear that killing Wu Ji and the others would lead to Wuya Sect experts blocking the gate of the Secret Realm, Ji Taichang would not have held back.

After being severely beaten, the Wuya Sect Disciples recognized the reality; they dared to be angry but dared not speak, and could only flee in panic with Wu Ji.

The Disciples of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion were shocked in their hearts. They looked at Ji Taichang with amazed expressions, all regarding him as a celestial being!

Even Qin Miaoyi looked deeply at Ji Taichang, her beautiful eyes shimmering with brilliance!

"Hehehe... the Young Lord of the Wuya Sect is really rich!"

Ji Taichang weighed the string of Storage Rings in his hand, the corner of his mouth curling into an evil, charming smile.

He thought of another way to deal with Yang Weile.

That was... the power of money!

Magical Artifacts, Flying Swords, Talismans, Formations...

As long as there is enough money, one can buy a large amount of treasures that can unleash astonishing power, enough to crush Yang Weile to death!

"Young Master Yang, watch out!"

Just as Ji Taichang was contemplating the specific operation, Qin Miaoyi's pupils shrank, and she couldn't help but let out an exclamation!

As it turned out.

Seeing Ji Taichang lost in thought, an extraordinary Yao Beast bird immediately flapped its wings, quietly circled behind the stone mountain, and suddenly launched an attack from behind Ji Taichang!

But Ji Taichang seemed to have prescience.

The moment the Yao Beast bird attacked, he simply tilted his head and precisely dodged the bird's assault.

Immediately after.

Ji Taichang grabbed the bird's head, swung its massive body, and smashed it fiercely against the stone mountain!

Only a few "bang, bang, bang" explosive sounds could be heard. A powerful ninth-level Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast bird was easily killed by him just like that, and he casually put it into his Storage Ring.

This scene made Qin Miaoyi's eyelids twitch.

"This kind of strength... it must be the Golden Core Stage for sure!"

"A Golden Core Stage expert under thirty years old... hiss!"

"Could he be from the Imperial Palace? Or one of the top ancient forces of the Great Wu Dynasty?"

Thoughts flashed through Qin Miaoyi's mind. She felt that Ji Taichang was becoming increasingly mysterious, which aroused her intense curiosity, making her want to explore the secrets hidden within Ji Taichang!

Soon.

With Ji Taichang's powerful strikes, swaths of Yao Beasts were slaughtered, and the remaining Yao Beasts let out fearful whimpers and scattered in all directions.

"I didn't quite believe what my seventh younger brother told me before, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I realize that what he said was actually conservative."

Qin Miaoyi walked up to Ji Taichang, her beautiful eyes staring straight at him, a refreshing, heart-soothing fragrance faintly present.

She was very tall, almost reaching Ji Taichang's height, dressed in exquisite and gorgeous clothing, looking extremely beautiful and moving.

"Her Highness the County Princess is too kind with her praise."

Ji Taichang smiled slightly, naturally admiring Qin Miaoyi's beautiful face and voluptuous figure.

This fiery gaze caused Qin Miaoyi to quickly retreat, her pretty face heating up, and she hurriedly turned around and walked ahead.
