378: Chapter 378 The Power of the Azure Nether Immortal Sword

Clang—

At this critical juncture, a crisp sword hum rang out in Qin Shishi's ears. Her delicate body fell into a warm and powerful embrace as a snowy-bright Immortal sword unsheathed, surrounded by a green glow, and slashed toward the wolf king like lightning!

The wolf king struck the qingming immortal sword with its claw, producing a dull explosion. The violent force knocked Ji Taichang back several Zhang.

However, its claw was cleanly severed by the incomparably sharp qingming immortal sword, sending blood splattering everywhere.

The intense pain caused the wolf king to roar in agony, its eyes instantly becoming bloodshot.

Qin Shishi's mouth hung slightly open in shock. She couldn't help but look up, and Ji Taichang's handsome and resolute profile came into view. His calm demeanor brought a strange sense of peace to her heart.

Held in Ji Taichang's single-armed embrace, leaning against his strong chest, she could feel the surging blood qi and dense Immortal energy within his body, giving her an indescribable sense of security.

Qin Shishi's heart fluttered and raced, and an inexplicable emotion welled up inside her.

[Ding! Qin Shishi's favorability has increased by 10 points. The host can obtain 10% of Young Master Liu Huaqing's cultivation/abilities. Please choose.]

[Qin Shishi's favorability: 45 (A surprise awaits when favorability reaches 100!)]

“Awoo!!”

Injured, the wolf king's ferocity was instead provoked. It entered a frenzied state, its eyes turning red, and the deep blue flames covering its body flared up significantly. It lunged fiercely at Ji Taichang, opening its bloody maw to bite down!

Not only that.

Several other Earth Immortal Realm Shadow Wolves also charged from different directions, completely sealing off Ji Taichang's retreat, leaving him with nowhere to dodge!

“Watch out!”

Qin Shishi couldn't help but cry out in alarm, her beautiful eyes filled with tension and worry. She immediately pulled away from Ji Taichang's embrace and raised her sword, preparing to help him share the burden.

In the next moment,

a shocking scene unfolded before her.

Ji Taichang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. Activating his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes, he suddenly swung the qingming immortal sword in his hand, sweeping outward in all directions with himself as the center, like a bursting tidal wave!

The azure Sword Qi swept horizontally with boundless sharpness, slicing the surrounding Earth Immortal Realm Shadow Wolves in half like crushing dry weeds, sending blood splattering everywhere!

Even as strong as the wolf king was, half of its head was split open by Ji Taichang's sword strike, leaving it severely wounded!

This was not only because of Ji Taichang's profound strength, but also because the qingming immortal sword was sharp enough that even an Earth Immortal's body could not withstand it!

“So... so strong!!”

Qin Shishi's eyes widened and her mouth hung slightly open as she stared blankly at Ji Taichang's tall, straight figure. Her mind was buzzing, thoroughly shocked.

After all, Ji Taichang only had a Loose Immortal Realm cultivation!

To be able to instantly kill so many Earth Immortal Realm Shadow Wolves with a single strike was simply a miracle!

“Wait a minute!”

“This sword... is at least a True Immortal Rank Magic Treasure!”

“You bad guy, and you still claim to be an Ascender?!”

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the qingming immortal sword, Qin Shishi bit her lip, a trace of resentment appearing in her eyes.

How could there possibly be a True Immortal Rank Magic Treasure in the Lower Realm!

She increasingly suspected that Ji Taichang was not an Ascender at all.

In that case... Ji Taichang's appearance in her hot spring to peep on her was definitely no accident either!

This bad guy was coming for her!

In that case, by running away with him, hadn't she fallen right into his trap?

Where... where is he going to abduct me to?

Qin Shishi's heart pounded wildly, and her thoughts became a bit of a mess.

[Ding! Qin Shishi's favorability has increased by 5 points. The host can obtain 10% of Young Master Liu Huaqing's cultivation/abilities. Please choose.]

[Qin Shishi's favorability: 50 (A surprise awaits when favorability reaches 100!)]

“Awoo—”

Seeing how terrifyingly powerful Ji Taichang was, the wolf king's eyes instantly cleared up. Filled with fear, it immediately turned and fled!

“Die!!”

Ji Taichang shouted coldly. Two beams of Immortal light erupted from his eyes, carrying a chilling killing intent. They shot through the air, accurately hitting the wound on the wolf king's head and piercing through its Sea of Consciousness and Primordial Spirit.

A single blow, instant death!

“Phew... System, claim Young Master Liu Huaqing's cultivation!”

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20% of Young Master Liu Huaqing's cultivation!]

A familiar Immortal energy emerged out of air, continuously absorbed and refined, transforming into his own cultivation strength.

But this time, Ji Taichang only broke through a minor Realm, reaching the seventh level of the Loose Immortal Realm.

“Hey, are you... really an Ascender?”

Qin Shishi bit her lip, her expression complex. “Where did this sword come from?”

For some reason,

the qingming immortal sword felt extremely terrifying to her, seemingly even higher in rank than the Qin Family's most precious heirloom sword!

However, Qin Shishi had never seen a higher-grade sword, so she couldn't determine the true grade of the qingming immortal sword.

“I am indeed an Ascender. I picked this sword up in the Lower Realm.”

Ji Taichang sheathed the qingming immortal sword and said casually, “Didn't I explain it to you already? There was a Secret Realm in the Lower Realm that had fallen from the Immortal Realm. Inside, I obtained an Immortal's Legacy and treasures...”

Qin Shishi blinked, still half-believing and half-doubting.

However, now that things had come to this and they had already run away, she could only commit to this path to the very end.

Even if Ji Taichang was lying to her, it was still better than being forced to marry that villain, Young Master Liu Huaqing.

“Let's go.”

Ji Taichang took Qin Shishi's soft little hand and continued to traverse the Shuinan Mountain Range.

...

In the blink of an eye, two and a half days passed.

Ji Taichang and Qin Shishi fought their way through the Shuinan Mountain Range. Along the way, they encountered numerous attacks from Vicious Beasts, and even ran into some True Immortal level beast kings!

Fortunately, the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes were dominant enough to detect danger in advance. Ji Taichang immediately concealed his aura and carefully bypassed the territories of those beast kings.

Furthermore, Qin Shishi seemed to have already studied the terrain of the Shuinan Mountain Range beforehand, clearly pointing out a relatively safe and fast route. Only then did the two of them cross the Shuinan Mountain Range without any actual mishap.

“We finally made it out!”

Qin Shishi breathed a sigh of relief. A smile bloomed on her gorgeous face, and she couldn't help but stretch. Her full breasts formed a breathtaking curve, seemingly about to burst out.

“Wait!”

Just as Qin Shishi wanted to run forward a few steps, Ji Taichang suddenly reached out to stop her. Qin Shishi bumped right into his arm, her two large mounds slightly flattened by the impact, bouncing her back a few steps.

A blush crept onto her face, and she reached up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “Young Master Ji, what's wrong?”

“There are people ahead.”

Ji Taichang's expression was serious.

“Where?”

Qin Shishi's expression tightened, and she immediately looked ahead, but she could only see lush, green mountain forests, without a single soul in sight.

“I have a special pupil technique talent. I can see a group of Cultivators a hundred miles ahead. They are guarding the exit of this path...”

While using his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes to observe ahead, Ji Taichang described the clothing features and appearances of those Cultivators.

Hearing this, Qin Shishi's face instantly turned unsightly. “Those people... are from the Luochen Sect!”

Obviously,

Qin Shishi had been 'abducted' for several days. Unable to find her, the Qin Family had informed the Luochen Sect, prompting them to dispatch numerous Cultivators to search for her!
