425: Chapter 425 Terrifying Tentacles

Under the shocked and excited gazes of Aunt Qiu and Pei Yuening.

The bronze ancient palace rose from the ground, shrinking continuously until it finally landed in the hands of a tall and burly figure!

His black hair flew in the wind, and endless electric arcs surged around his body. He was magnificent and imposing, appearing like a Thunder Emperor descending upon the world!

"Xiao Chang!!"

Pei Yuening was overjoyed to see this, and her lips curled upward uncontrollably!

Aunt Qiu saw the Zi Yan behind Ji Taichang, her body charred black from being struck by lightning, and could not help but sigh, though she was not entirely surprised.

Ji Taichang had refined the bronze ancient palace and wore a smile on his face. Just as he was about to say something, his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes keenly captured the arrival of a crisis!

"Watch out!!"

Before Ji Taichang could even open his mouth to warn them, a gray light shot out from beneath the stone mountain. Its speed was incredible as it lashed out like lightning toward Aunt Qiu and Pei Yuening!

As an Immortal Lord, even though Aunt Qiu was seriously injured and her cultivation had temporarily fallen to the Golden Immortal Realm, she still possessed astonishing perception.

At the very instant the crisis arrived, she almost reflexively raised the dragon-headed cane in her hand. The power of the Immortal Monarch Realm awakened, transforming into a monstrous fire dragon!

Bang!!

The gray light and the fire dragon collided with a deafening roar. Violent power fluctuations spread continuously, causing blood to spill from the corner of Pei Yuening's mouth as her tall, voluptuous body was sent flying backward.

Ji Taichang was quick-witted and agile, catching Pei Yuening in his arms.

Pei Yuening's voluptuous body crashed into Ji Taichang's embrace, her trembling assets colliding with his lower body, causing his eyes to widen slightly as he gasped.

Ji Taichang subconsciously wrapped his hands around Pei Yuening's delicate body.

"Your... your hand!!"

Pei Yuening's face turned beet red in an instant, her lips partially bitten as she glared fiercely at Ji Taichang.

"Ahem... just a habit."

Ji Taichang coughed lightly, sheepishly releasing his palms from the two little watermelons.

Although Pei Yuening's heart was racing, the situation was urgent, so she had no time to dwell on it. She immediately summoned a lightning tower, preparing for battle!

Appearing before everyone was a purple-black tentacle. It resembled an octopus tentacle, but instead of suckers, it was covered in one scarlet eye after another, looking eerie and terrifying.

It was merely a one-zhang-long eerie tentacle, yet with a single encounter, it had injured both Aunt Qiu and Pei Yuening!

"This stone mountain and the bronze ancient palace have been suppressing this tentacle all along. Now that the bronze ancient palace has been refined, this ghost of a thing has seized the chance to break free!"

"Everyone, be careful!!"

Aunt Qiu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her dragon-headed cane spewing terrifying flames as she stared fixedly at the tentacle!

The tentacle turned into a streak of black light, attacking Aunt Qiu once again.

Although Aunt Qiu's injuries were severe, she had no choice but to fight with her life. Ignoring her own wounds, she forcibly erupted with the strength of an Immortal Monarch Realm, the terrifying flames appearing capable of incinerating all things as they surged toward the tentacle.

The two sides collided several times, the eerie Evil Qi and scorching flames spreading continuously, causing both Ji Taichang and Pei Yuening to feel a palpitation of fear.

Seeing that it could not take down Aunt Qiu, the tentacle forced her to retreat a few steps before suddenly charging toward the Zi Yan!

"Revered Master, use this!"

Ji Taichang decisively shoved the palm-sized bronze ancient palace into Pei Yuening's hand!

Pei Yuening felt a surge of joy and immediately activated it with all her might!

Boom!!

The bronze ancient palace swelled in the wind, erupting in an instant with endless electric arcs. The lightning light pierced the sky like divine punishment from the heavens, blasting toward the tentacle.

The tentacle immediately released monstrous gray fog, with Evil Qi and Death Qi permeating the air, as if the gates to the Netherworld had been opened, appearing extremely sinister.

Taking advantage of the intense collision between the two, Ji Taichang flashed forward and immediately pulled the Zi Yan to Pei Yuening's side.

Aunt Qiu's body trembled slightly; her injuries were severe.

But now she gritted her teeth, resolutely activating the dragon-headed cane in her hand, spewing out one fire dragon after another to join forces with Pei Yuening against the tentacle.

The power of thunder and fire intertwined, causing a violent explosion and forming a strange combination that caused their might to surge significantly!

A moment later.

The tentacle had several more charred wounds. It let out a roar of unwillingness, turned into a gray light, and fled into the distance, diving into the spatial turbulence and disappearing.

"What on earth is this thing!?"

Ji Taichang and his group were all still shaken with fear!

"Cough! Cough cough..."

Aunt Qiu coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and immediately took out a few Medicinal Pills for healing and swallowed them, her aura weakening.

"Aunt Qiu!"

The Zi Yan was full of worry and nervousness, immediately taking out her own Medicinal Pills for healing and feeding them to her.

"It's fine, I won't die yet."

Aunt Qiu waved her hand and bowed to Pei Yuening and Ji Taichang, "Thank you both for protecting the Zi Yan just now."

Pei Yuening said, "It was just a small effort. May I ask if Senior knows what that tentacle was?"

Aunt Qiu pondered for a moment, her expression shifting uncertainly, "That tentacle... is very similar to the Evil Clan recorded in ancient legends! But the Evil Clan was wiped out in the ancient era; they shouldn't still exist in this world."

The Evil Clan?

Pei Yuening and Ji Taichang exchanged a glance; they were very unfamiliar with this race and had never heard of it.

Aunt Qiu circulated her Cultivation Technique, refining the power of the Medicinal Pills, and her originally pale face regained a hint of ruddiness.

She looked at Pei Yuening and Ji Taichang, "For today's events, I owe you both a favor. If you need any help in the future, you can come to Holy Heaven Island in Tianlan Province to find me."

Although the two only came from a small Sect in Liefeng Immortal Prefecture, Ji Taichang had displayed extraordinary talent, even surpassing the Zi Yan, and had obtained a damaged Immortal Venerable Magic Treasure. He would certainly become a powerful expert in the future.

Aunt Qiu was also willing to form a good connection with Ji Taichang.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Pei Yuening and Ji Taichang both smiled.

After all, this was a favor from an Immortal Monarch Realm powerhouse!

"By the way, Senior, I obtained an Immortal Venerable level Cultivation Technique in the bronze ancient palace..."

Ji Taichang took out the Nine Heavens Thunder Art and repeated the matter he had discussed with the Zi Yan.

"An Immortal Venerable level Cultivation Technique!"

Aunt Qiu and Pei Yuening were both moved, their hearts shaken, and their eyes grew a bit more fervent!

"Good, good, good! My disciple has the bearing of an Immortal Emperor!"

"I knew this trip was worth it!"

Pei Yuening couldn't help but rub Ji Taichang's head. Her cold and elegant face was full of smiles, and her uncontrollably upturned lips could not be suppressed.

Aunt Qiu also swallowed secretly.

She looked at Ji Taichang, "Little friend, Holy Heaven Island is willing to make this deal with you. Holy Heaven Island can take action for you three times, provided that Holy Heaven Island has the ability to do so and it does not violate Holy Heaven Island's principles. If you ask us to attack an Immortal Sect, crusade against a Forbidden Zone of Life, or slaughter the myriad races, I am afraid Holy Heaven Island cannot agree."

"No problem."

Ji Taichang smiled slightly, took out a Jade Slip, and began to copy the contents of the Nine Heavens Thunder Art Cultivation Technique, handing it directly to Aunt Qiu.

He was not afraid that Holy Heaven Island would take the Cultivation Technique and not do the work.

If Holy Heaven Island were truly so ungrateful, then they shouldn't blame Ji Taichang for wiping them out once his cultivation and strength improved in the future!
