379: Chapter 379 Sword Slaying Earth Immortal

Qin Shishi pondered for a moment: "The Shuinan Mountain Range is vast, and the Luochen Sect can only guard a limited number of exits. As long as we defeat these people, we can break through. Then, if we run forward for over a thousand li, we can enter Xixing City. That area belongs to the Red Sea Gang, where the Luochen Sect cannot reach. After that, we proceed in the northwest direction..."

This was the escape route she had planned long ago!

Ji Taichang nodded slightly, and the two of them quietly rushed toward the mountain range exit.

Outside the mountain range was a vast river, and further ahead lay a sprawling, unobstructed plain.

A team of fifteen Cultivators guarded the riverbank, staring in the direction of the Shuinan Mountain Range. Leading them was a middle-aged woman in a red dress, her eyes sinister and as cold as a viper.

Qin Shishi whispered: "Be careful, she is Elder Xiao Qing of the Luochen Sect's outer Sect. Her cultivation is at the eighth level of the Earth Immortal Realm, and she is skilled with dual blades and hidden weapons..."

"Your sword is of a very high grade, likely more than just True Immortal Rank. It is best not to let it be discovered. If you must use it, you must not leave any survivors, or it will attract experts to fight over it, leading to a fatal disaster!"

Ji Taichang was only at the Loose Immortal Realm, yet he possessed such an extraordinary sword—a classic case of harboring a treasure that invites trouble!

Ji Taichang nodded at her: "Rest assured, we will proceed according to the plan."

"Mm."

Qin Shishi took a deep breath and strode toward the exit.

Ji Taichang used the power of his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes to conceal all his aura, quietly hiding in a dense patch of grass.

As soon as Qin Shishi appeared, she attracted the attention of Xiao Qing and her group!

Qin Shishi's expression stiffened, and she immediately turned and rushed back into the Shuinan Mountain Range.

"Where do you think you're going?!"

Although Qin Shishi had changed her appearance and aura, such abnormal behavior immediately alerted Xiao Qing. She instantly executed a movement technique and gave chase!

Swoosh!!

As Xiao Qing passed the patch of grass, a flash of cyan Sword Qi suddenly erupted, its sharpness fully revealed!

It was too abrupt. Xiao Qing's attention had been focused on Qin Shishi, leaving her completely unprepared. Caught off guard, she only had time to lean her body backward.

With a "pfft" sound, the qingming immortal sword sliced directly through half of Xiao Qing's shoulder. An arm flew into the air instantly, blood spraying wildly.

Had she not leaned back to dodge, it would have been her head that was severed!

"Cough, cough... Damn it!!"

Xiao Qing was both shocked and furious. Subconsciously, she tried to grab her severed arm to reattach it.

But Ji Taichang raised his hand and unleashed over a dozen strikes in succession. They were incredibly fierce and powerful, the terrifying sharpness of the Sword Qi making Xiao Qing's hair stand on end. She was forced to retreat in a sorry state, simultaneously drawing a curved blade to parry.

Clang!!

The qingming immortal sword struck the curved blade, emitting a deafening metallic clang as sparks flew everywhere.

In Xiao Qing's terrified gaze, her life-bound weapon was actually snapped in two by the qingming immortal sword. The terrifyingly sharp Sword Qi tore a wound deep enough to reveal bone across her chest, and blood gushed out.

"This... what kind of sword is this?!"

Xiao Qing's expression was one of horror.

As far as she knew, not even the Luochen Sect's Sect-protecting treasure was this sharp or durable!

Could it be a Heavenly Immortal Rank treasure?!

Xiao Qing was horrified. Combined with her severe injuries, her Battle Intent instantly vanished, and she turned to flee immediately!!

"Freeze!"

Ji Taichang let out a cold shout. His Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes shimmered with immortal light, releasing a shocking ripple that seemed capable of freezing space and time, causing Xiao Qing's body to stiffen in place, unable to move.

Although it only restrained her for less than a breath's time.

The qingming immortal sword had already struck like lightning, slashing across like a sharp bolt of thunder, splitting Xiao Qing vertically in two, leaving no chance to even be 'warmly' taken advantage of.

"Why do I feel like he's getting stronger and stronger?"

Qin Shishi, standing to the side, was secretly shocked, feeling that Ji Taichang's cultivation seemed significantly stronger than it had been a few days ago.

"Who goes there!"

At the same time.

The sounds of the battle between Ji Taichang and Xiao Qing attracted the attention of the Luochen Sect Cultivators guarding outside.

They immediately rushed over, only to see Xiao Qing lying on the ground in two halves. Their pupils dilated instantly, and their hearts were filled with turbulent waves of shock!

"No... Elder Xiao!!"

"You guys hold them off, I'm going back to report to the Sect!"

A quick-witted Cultivator turned and ran immediately!

Someone as strong as Xiao Qing had been killed by the opponent so quickly; there was no way they could be his match.

The remaining Cultivators were also scared out of their wits and likewise turned to flee. Some activated their communication tokens to send the news back to the Luochen Sect immediately.

Swoosh!!

Ji Taichang's figure rushed out like a ghost, flickering continuously. Accompanied by cyan Sword Qi blooming one after another, crisscrossing, sprays of blood blossomed. In the blink of an eye, those fourteen Cultivators fell to the ground, sleeping peacefully.

One day later.

Ji Taichang and Qin Shishi successfully arrived at Xixing City.

This was an ancient and prosperous city, surrounded by vast stretches of villages and towns that continued on endlessly.

The two rested in Xixing City for a while. Ji Taichang bought a map of the Liefeng Immortal Prefecture in the city and took the Opportunity to inquire about various intelligence regarding the Fire Cloud Immortal Mansion and Liefeng Immortal Prefecture, gaining a deeper understanding of the Immortal Realm.

It was unclear if Qin Shishi was strapped for cash, but she only bought one steed. Ji Taichang drove it, while she sat in the back, quietly placing her hands on Ji Taichang's waist.

Although her body was still some distance away from Ji Taichang.

However, the two massive assets in front of Qin Shishi were truly too substantial. Ji Taichang could feel their heavy, pressing sensation, which swayed gently as the horse ran, making his mind wander.

Ji Taichang couldn't help but start missing Yun Qiyao, Lu Qingmeng, Su Wanqing, Lin Xueyue, and Nangong Qingya...

Boom!!

Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar came from the distance, shaking the vast earth as if a massive earthquake had occurred.

The steed was startled and hurriedly braked to a stop.

Caught off guard, Qin Shishi's delicate body slammed directly into Ji Taichang. Her hands subconsciously hugged Ji Taichang's waist and abdomen tightly, pressing her entire body against his back.

That immense, behemoth-like pressure made Ji Taichang's blood run hot.

"What is that?"

Qin Shishi looked up, her pupils constricting.

In the distance, a towering mountain lit up with beams of immortal light that shot into the sky, illuminating the firmament with brilliant splendor.

Ji Taichang also looked up, a strange palpitation arising in his heart, as if something in the unknown was calling out to him.

"Let's go take a look."

Ji Taichang made a swift decision and immediately spurred the steed toward that great mountain.

Qin Shishi was somewhat hesitant: "Young Master Ji, wouldn't this be too risky?"

"Such a huge commotion will surely attract many surrounding Sect forces to go there as well. If we run into people from the Qin Family and the Luochen Sect..."

Ji Taichang said: "The more people, the better it is to fish in troubled waters. When the time comes, we will change our appearances and aura, and the Qin Family and Luochen Sect won't be able to find us among so many Cultivators."

"Let's go take a look first; if we encounter danger, we'll just run."

This was the first Opportunity Ji Taichang had encountered since arriving in the Immortal Realm, and he did not want to miss it.
