383: Chapter 383 Being Targeted by the Great Demon

Bang!!

Ji Taichang swung his sword to clash with Grand Elder Jia Quan. The two violent and terrifying forces collided, causing the ground beneath their feet to instantly explode. Centered on the two of them, a shockwave surged in all directions, causing the surrounding buildings to collapse.

Although the war blade in Grand Elder Jia Quan's hand was snapped in two, Ji Taichang was also forced back seven or eight steps by the blow, letting out a muffled groan as his face turned pale.

Just as Grand Elder Jia Quan prepared to press his advantage and pursue,

Ji Taichang's eyes suddenly shone with blazing immortal light, and a sacred, supreme fluctuation spread out, causing the heavens and earth to resonate!

Grand Elder Jia Quan's body stiffened abruptly, imprisoned in place by a mysterious and powerful force.

Ding, ding, ding!!

Ji Taichang violently shook the Soul-Devouring Bell again, channeling all his power into it. The rapid ringing, accompanied by a violent Primordial Spirit attack, crashed into the devil seed inside Grand Elder Jia Quan like a landslide or tsunami, causing his consciousness to blur and twist!

Clang—

In one breath, Ji Taichang unleashed over a dozen sword strikes, all of which landed on Grand Elder Jia Quan's Puppet core, forcefully splitting it in two!

"Pfft!!"

Grand Elder Jia Quan spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying sideways like a tattered bag of gore, slamming heavily into an ancient house as his aura instantly withered.

He looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock!

"It actually is the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes!!"

"And such a powerful Immortal Sword... Who exactly are you!?"

Grand Elder Jia Quan keenly sensed that Ji Taichang must have an earth-shattering background!

An ordinary small Sect could never cultivate such a powerful Prodigy. He must have come from some ancient and terrifying orthodoxy, perhaps just sent out for training, and there might even be a powerful expert secretly protecting him!

At this thought,

Grand Elder Jia Quan lost all Battle Intent and immediately transformed into a wisp of black smoke, fleeing wildly into the distance!

Ji Taichang unleashed one final, heaven-shaking sword strike, scattering a portion of the black smoke and causing a severed, blood-stained arm to fall to the ground, while Grand Elder Jia Quan's true body fled without looking back.

Meanwhile,

In Tianlan Province, at the Blood Ruins Demon Sect.

An ancient and terrifying existence awakened, opening a pair of eyes that resembled blood moons, looking far off toward the direction of the Fire Cloud Immortal Mansion, and grinned!

"It is actually the legendary Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes!"

"Such a rare Immortal seedling, this is truly difficult to come by! Very good, very good!!"

With a flicker of his thought,

Throughout Tianlan Province, many Cultivators in various places raised their heads in unison, a strange black light flashing in their eyes, and they began heading toward the Fire Cloud Immortal Mansion in unison!

...

"Hoo—"

Ji Taichang exhaled a breath of stale air, his chest heaving violently, and immediately withdrew the power of the qingming immortal sword and the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes.

The qingming immortal sword and Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes were powerful, but activating them consumed too much Immortal Power. This brief exchange, while it had severely injured Grand Elder Jia Quan, had also drained more than half of Ji Taichang's own Immortal Power; it had not been an easy fight.

And this was only because Grand Elder Jia Quan was already severely injured to begin with.

If it had been Grand Elder Jia Quan at his Peak state, Ji Taichang might not even have been able to win!

Ji Taichang glanced at the arm Grand Elder Jia Quan had dropped, picked up the Storage Ring on the finger, and forcefully refined it.

Inside, it contained the entire fortune of a True Immortal. There were over 300,000 Immortal Crystals alone, which were the Immortal Realm's version of "Spirit Stones." They contained the Spiritual Qi of the Immortal Realm and served as the currency of the Immortal Realm.

Besides that, there were quite a few bottles and jars of Medicinal Pills, Luochen Sect Cultivation Techniques, and some weapons and Magic Treasures of Loose Immortal and Earth Immortal Ranks, among other resources.

"Not bad."

Ji Taichang nodded with satisfaction.

With these resources, his upcoming journey to the Benlei Sect would be much smoother.

Qin Shishi, who was being held in his arms, had her mouth agape. She stared blankly at Ji Taichang's handsome and composed face, feeling as if a tumultuous storm had been stirred up in her heart!

With a cultivation at the first level of the Earth Immortal Realm, Ji Taichang had actually gone head-to-head with a seventh-level True Immortal Realm expert!

And he had even driven Grand Elder Jia Quan away!

Although Grand Elder Jia Quan had been severely injured first, and Ji Taichang possessed two great Magic Treasures, that was still a True Immortal!

Such a battle record was too terrifying. Looking across the entire younger generation of Tianlan Province, perhaps no one had ever achieved this, right?

Were Ascenders really this terrifying?

Ji Taichang's astonishing strength and methods had once again refreshed Qin Shishi's perception!

[Ding! Qin Shishi's favorability increased by 5 points]

[Qin Shishi's favorability: 75 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!!)]

"Let's go!"

Ji Taichang held Qin Shishi, took a step, and rapidly rushed toward the outside of the ancient city, retreating from the area.

His Immortal Power was more than half depleted, and the commotion from the battle with Grand Elder Jia Quan had been great, attracting the attention of many Cultivators; staying here would only be more dangerous.

What Ji Taichang feared most was the Demon Cultivator behind Grand Elder Jia Quan!

To be able to refine a seventh-level True Immortal Realm Cultivator into a flesh-and-blood Puppet, that Demon Cultivator must be an extremely powerful and terrifying existence, not someone he could provoke at his current stage.

Qin Shishi wrapped her arms around Ji Taichang's neck, being carried in a bridal style. Her pair of watery, beautiful eyes looked quietly at Ji Taichang, little stars twinkling in them.

She suddenly felt a bit fortunate.

It was fortunate that she had been decisive enough back then to cling to Ji Taichang and not let go, which allowed her to escape the control of the Qin Family and follow such a peerless Genius!

This was her luck and blessing!

Although one could not fly in the Earth Immortal Realm yet, Ji Taichang's physique was strong enough to scale the sheer cliffs and precipices as if he were walking on flat ground, and he quickly rushed out of this great rift.

At this moment, many more Cultivators were still continuously pouring in from the distance.

One team among them was particularly eye-catching.

The youth leading them wore a golden robe and rode a white steed with a pair of broad wings, moving as if flying just above the ground. It was extremely fast, leaving the teammates behind him in the dust.

"Whoa—"

Just then, the golden-robed youth suddenly stopped, his pair of cold and arrogant eyes landing on Ji Taichang and Qin Shishi.

"Everyone is rushing inside, yet you two are running out. It seems you have obtained quite a few Opportunities in there."

"Behave and hand over all the treasures you have on you, otherwise... die!"

The golden-robed youth was quite overbearing and arrogant!

Qin Shishi's expression tightened, and she whispered: "Be careful, he is True Disciple Yan Sen of the Wuyun Sect, a top-tier Sect in the Fire Cloud Immortal Mansion. The Wuyun Sect is much stronger than the Luochen Sect, and there must be a True Immortal expert accompanying True Disciple Yan Sen..."

Ji Taichang swept his gaze with his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes but did not discover any True Immortal experts. It seemed the True Immortal experts of the Wuyun Sect had already entered the ancient city, and True Disciple Yan Sen was going to rendezvous with them.

At this thought,

Ji Taichang's gaze landed on the exotic steed True Disciple Yan Sen was riding, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled into an ambiguous arc.

"This Young Master is talking to you, are you deaf!?"

True Disciple Yan Sen looked impatient and simply waved his hand, a golden Flying Sword flashing like lightning toward Ji Taichang!

As a True Disciple of the Wuyun Sect, True Disciple Yan Sen's strength was considerable, with his cultivation reaching the seventh level of the Earth Immortal Realm. The power erupted from this sword strike was even a few points stronger than that of Xiao Qing, who was at the eighth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Just as the golden Flying Sword reached in front of Ji Taichang,

Ji Taichang suddenly grabbed the Flying Sword, powerful Immortal Power flowing between his fingers and palms, and he forcefully wiped away True Disciple Yan Sen's mark, refining it by force!

True Disciple Yan Sen's pupils shrank abruptly!

Before he could recover, Ji Taichang had already appeared before him like a ghost, raised his foot, and kicked out, a black shoe rapidly enlarging before his eyes!
