406: Chapter 406 Pei Yuening's Mischievous Idea

Ji Taichang's heart stirred. "Revered Master, do you have a grudge against that woman?"

"Indeed."

Pei Yuening snorted coldly. "That woman is Sect Leader Song Zhidie of the Chixing Sword Sect. The green-dressed girl at the edge of the thunderstorm is named Yun Zhi. She was a Prodigy who shook the Liefeng Immortal Prefecture ten years ago, possessing the Thunder Spirit Body."

"During the Benlei Sect's Apprentice Recruitment Ceremony ten years ago, Yun Zhi had already cleared the Leiming Secret Realm trial and should have joined my sect. But that wretched woman, Sect Leader Song Zhidie, suddenly appeared, injured our Benlei Sect Elder, and abducted her!"

"Later, as your Revered Master, I even fought my way to the Chixing Sword Sect to snatch Yun Zhi back. But I don't know what kind of love potion that wretched woman, Sect Leader Song Zhidie, fed her; she actually refused to leave..."

Ji Taichang suddenly understood.

So there was such a story between his Revered Master, Sect Leader Song Zhidie, and Yun Zhi. No wonder his Revered Master was grinding her teeth in hatred.

Although the Thunder Spirit Body was far inferior to Heaven-Defying talents like the Taiyin Body or the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes, those talents were extremely rare to begin with, with only a few in the entire Immortal Realm. The Thunder Spirit Body was already in the upper-middle tier among special Physiques, enough to rival the Mystic Yin Physique.

Most importantly,

the Thunder Spirit Body was the perfect match for the Benlei Sect's Cultivation Technique!

One could imagine how furious Pei Yuening must have been in her heart when she could have had an outstanding Disciple, only for her to be abducted by Sect Leader Song Zhidie.

Ji Taichang asked, "Revered Master, what is Yun Zhi's current cultivation level?"

"Seventh level of the True Immortal Realm. However, a Thunder Spirit Body is much stronger than ordinary Yao Beasts, and her combat strength can rival the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm. Are you confident?"

"Leave it to me!"

Ji Taichang had a confident smile on his face.

Let alone the seventh level of the True Immortal Realm, even if she were at the Great Perfection of the True Immortal Realm, he could still beat her black and blue.

"Very good!"

Having witnessed Ji Taichang's combat strength and methods, Pei Yuening naturally had confidence in him.

The two advanced quietly and hid on a hilltop to watch the battle in silence.

Yun Zhi's attainment and talent in the Dao of Thunder were very strong, but the thunderstorm on the mountain peak was too terrifying, having long exceeded the limit of what the True Immortal Realm could withstand. Every step forward was extremely difficult for her, as she had to resist the violent power of thunder and lightning.

But this was also a form of tempering and trial.

As Yun Zhi continuously resisted the thunderstorm, her own thunder attainment also improved, and even her cultivation was slowly rising, benefiting her immensely.

The Yao Beasts that Sect Leader Song Zhidie was fighting against were creatures residing in this thunderstorm, and their cultivation and strength were incredibly formidable.

But Sect Leader Song Zhidie was clearly prepared.

She fought and retreated with those Yao Beasts. When they reached a hilltop, she suddenly pinched a hand seal. The ground shook violently, and dense array patterns and immortal Dao symbols burst with light, instantly forming a killing array!

Sect Leader Song Zhidie's strength was already greater than any single Yao Beast, but the Yao Beasts had the advantage of numbers.

But now that the Yao Beasts had fallen into the trap, beams of killing light burst forth, instantly severely wounding several Yao Beasts.

Sect Leader Song Zhidie also exerted her full strength. Surrounded by dense Sword Qi, her attacks were fierce and violent. Taking absolute advantage, she forced those Yao Beasts to retreat repeatedly.

"Get ready to strike!"

The corners of Pei Yuening's mouth curled up slightly, a mischievous sneer appearing on her cold and elegant face!

Sect Leader Song Zhidie was in the middle of a fierce battle with the Yao Beasts, completely unaware that Pei Yuening was quietly approaching.

Ji Taichang also used his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes to conceal his Aura, quietly rushing toward the thunderstorm area at the mountain peak.

A moment later.

Although Sect Leader Song Zhidie successfully slew those Yao Beasts, their dying counterattack also injured her. With several bloody claw marks on her body, she was heavily wounded and gasped heavily for breath.

She deactivated the killing array and took out a healing Medicinal Pill from her Storage Ring, preparing to swallow it, when suddenly her hairs stood on end!

Chii!!

A blazing purple heavenly thunder struck from behind, its speed incredibly fast!

Even though Sect Leader Song Zhidie sensed something was wrong, she could not dodge in time. She was struck on the spot, her body trembling violently. Her skin, which was originally as fair and tender as tofu, became somewhat charred, and her body could not stop spasming.

After the thunderous light, sharp sword glows lunged from behind!

Sect Leader Song Zhidie dodged in a very disheveled manner. Turning her head, she saw Pei Yuening with a cold sneer on her face.

"You again?!"

Sect Leader Song Zhidie's face turned dark with anger. "You crazy woman! You actually have no martial ethics, launching a sneak attack on me! If you have the ability, fight me in a fair one-on-one duel!"

Pei Yuening ignored Sect Leader Song Zhidie completely. After her successful strike, she unleashed a tempest of attacks, quickly leaving several more wounds on Sect Leader Song Zhidie's body, beating her into a wretched state where she could only keep dodging.

...

Yun Zhi appeared to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her figure was slender but not frail, her posture as graceful as green bamboo. Her emerald-green dress was lively and playful, with tiny flowers embroidered on the hem, accentuating her snow-white skin.

Her eyebrows and eyes curved gently, her eyes like stars, and her pupils clear and bright, carrying a hint of lingering childishness and agility.

Yun Zhi advanced slowly through the thunderstorm when her eyes suddenly lit up!

"purple thunder herb!"

In the crevice of a huge boulder ahead, a small purple grass was rooted, swaying gently, with purple thunder patterns faintly visible on it.

Yun Zhi rushed over with difficulty and plucked the purple thunder herb. Her pure and pretty face was full of smiles, revealing a pair of shallow dimples.

She immediately swallowed the purple thunder herb and closed her eyes to circulate her Cultivation Technique. Thunderous light flashed around her body, and a faint thunder imprint appeared on her wrist.

Just then,

Yun Zhi's hairs suddenly stood on end, and a strong sense of crisis arose out of nowhere!

Bang!!

Before she could react, she took a solid chop to the back of her head, making a dull sound. Her entire body was sent flying seven or eight Zhang away, her head buzzing.

"You... how dare you sneak attack this young lady?!"

Yun Zhi shook her head and immediately ground her little canine teeth. Her originally pure and pretty face turned fiercely adorable as she glared viciously at Ji Taichang.

[Ding! Yun Zhi's favorability has decreased by 20 points.]

[Yun Zhi's favorability: -20 (There is a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

"Huh?"

Ji Taichang raised an eyebrow, lost in thought.

He had not held back at all in that strike just now. Logically speaking, it should have been enough to instantly knock Yun Zhi unconscious, and then he could tie her up and bring her back to his Revered Master.

But at the critical moment, a light purple soft armor inside Yun Zhi's clothes glowed, instantly enveloping her entire body and blocking most of the force for her.

"You bad guy, prepare to die!!"

Yun Zhi ground her little canine teeth. A gilded, thunder-patterned bronze mace appeared in her hand, and with a menacing Aura, she smashed it violently toward Ji Taichang.

Clang!!

Ji Taichang drew his green wind sword to parry. The bronze mace smashed against the green wind sword, producing a crisp, ear-splitting explosion. Thunderous light burst forth, violent and surging.

Although Ji Taichang remained as still as a mountain, the huge boulder beneath his feet exploded with a bang, turning into dust and kicking up a wave of air.

"This girl has incredible strength!"

A flash of surprise crossed Ji Taichang's eyes. He could clearly feel the terrifying Divine Power contained within Yun Zhi's strike.

He truly did not expect that such a petite and exquisite body of Yun Zhi's actually contained such immense power.

Fortunately, Ji Taichang possessed three great Immortal Rank talents, and his Physical Body and Physique had already been strengthened to an astonishing degree. Had it been an ordinary True Immortal Realm Cultivator, they wouldn't have been able to block it at all!
