432: Chapter 432 Sudden Attack

Ji Taichang pondered for a moment and said, "Revered Master, your strength is rarely matched even within Nandou Immortal Prefecture. There is no need to bring the Sect Elders; just bringing me and Junior Sister will suffice."

Pei Yuening was at the Peak 9th stage of the Golden Immortal Realm; even in Tianlan Province, she could definitely be considered a powerhouse!

With this cultivation level, she was practically invincible in a small Immortal Prefecture.

Bringing those Profound Immortal Elders might even become a burden.

"Why bring Yun Zhi?" Pei Yuening asked, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Because I want to romance her and increase her favorability.

Ji Taichang gave a light cough. "Shishi and Yu'er are at a critical moment in cultivating the Nine Heavens Thunder Art and are preparing to go into seclusion for further refinement. Junior Sister is still young, so taking her out for some experience will be beneficial for her."

Seclusion for further refinement?

I'm afraid they can't even get out of bed because of how you 'operate' them, right?

Pei Yuening rolled her eyes inwardly and couldn't help but pinch Ji Taichang's ear.

Because this "wicked disciple" hadn't activated the Barrier in the room at all. With Pei Yuening's powerful Divine Sense at the Peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, she had heard the movements in the room clearly long ago!

Even though Pei Yuening hadn't intentionally eavesdropped or peeked, she had passively heard those strange sounds, including many embarrassing details...

At this thought.

Pei Yuening's face flushed slightly. She immediately gave a light cough and put on the appearance of a cold and majestic iceberg Revered Master.

"Fine, let's do as you say. Have Lady Cai Ling guard the Benlei Sect. Go call Yun Zhi, and we will head to Nandou Immortal Prefecture together."

No sooner said than done.

After notifying Cai Ling, Qin Shishi, and Luo Yulian, Ji Taichang brought Yun Zhi along and set off.

Nandou Immortal Prefecture was adjacent to Liefeng Immortal Prefecture, so it was not far for a powerhouse of Pei Yuening's cultivation level.

But for Heavenly Immortal Realm or Mystic Immortal Realm Cultivators, they wouldn't be able to make the journey in less than a year or two.

As for Cultivators at the True Immortal Realm and below, they might not even be able to cross an entire Immortal Prefecture in their lifetime!

More than an hour later.

Just as Pei Yuening, Ji Taichang, and Yun Zhi entered the territory of Nandou Immortal Prefecture and were passing by a range of towering mountains, a sudden change occurred!

Hiss!!

Black flags suddenly appeared on the surrounding mountain Peaks, one after another. Dense Demonic markings lit up, and black Devilish Qi soared into the sky, instantly forming a heaven-shocking killing formation!

The overwhelming Devilish Qi transformed into terrifying beams of black light, each one no less powerful than a full-strength strike from a Golden Immortal Realm expert, raining down upon them!

Dozens of figures rushed out from all directions, all shrouded in black robes, their eyes flickering with scarlet light as they attacked with full force!

"Not good!"

Pei Yuening and Ji Taichang's hearts both sank suddenly!

"It's that Demonic Cultivator suspected of cultivating the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique!"

Pei Yuening's expression was grim. She immediately activated a lightning tower, releasing sheets of electric light that hovered above the three of them, blocking the murderous intent attacking from all sides.

That Demonic Cultivator had finally been unable to resist making a move.

Furthermore, the timing he chose was very clever. He had laid low for a period of time, causing Pei Yuening and Ji Taichang to lower their guard, thinking the opponent wouldn't attack, only to launch a fierce assault at this very moment!

What shocked Ji Taichang and Pei Yuening the most was that the opponent could accurately lock onto their whereabouts and ambush them on the road ahead. Such methods were terrifying and impossible to guard against!

"Peak 9th stage of the Golden Immortal Realm?"

"Heh... a small Benlei Sect actually hides a powerhouse like you!"

"To have reached this step in only five hundred years of cultivation, it seems you possess great secrets and great Opportunity!"

"This is truly an unexpected harvest!"

A cold and sinister voice rang out, sounding like two pieces of iron rubbing together, extremely harsh to the ears.

The next moment.

A streak of scarlet light suddenly lit up, carving a shrill arc. It was a blood-stained war spear that struck the lightning tower fiercely, emitting a dull, thunderous boom!

Even as strong as Pei Yuening was, she was shaken to the point of letting out a muffled groan, her face turning pale as she staggered back a few steps.

"Half-step Immortal Monarch Realm!"

Pei Yuening looked up abruptly, her expression extremely grave.

The black-robed figure held the war spear and attacked again!

Among the dozens of black-robed figures attacking together, there were actually five Golden Immortal Realm powerhouses. This lineup was nothing short of astonishing!

A Half-step Immortal Monarch Realm powerhouse, plus five Golden Immortal Realm powerhouses, along with the power of a Demonic Path killing formation, all struck at once. The lightning tower was sent flying instantly, and Pei Yuening had blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, suffering significant injuries as she staggered back.

The Half-step Immortal Monarch Realm powerhouse and the five Golden Immortal Realm powerhouses tightly entangled Pei Yuening, while the remaining twenty-plus Profound Immortal experts ghosted toward Ji Taichang and Yun Zhi!

"No—"

Pei Yuening's heart trembled violently, her eyes nearly splitting with rage!

Although she had summoned the bronze ancient palace at the first Opportunity, it was already too late to rescue them!

"It's over, it's over... my life is at an end!"

Yun Zhi's eyes widened. Faced with such a terrifying, life-threatening crisis, her mind went completely blank, and she subconsciously hugged Ji Taichang's arm.

"Roar!!"

At this critical moment, a Dragon roar suddenly resounded through the Nine Heavens!

Azure radiance bloomed on Ji Taichang's body, transforming into scales of a raging Dragon, shimmering with a heart-stopping metallic luster. In an instant, it turned into a set of Azure Dragon armor!

Ji Taichang's already sturdy and tall body directly transformed into a one-zhang-tall humanoid Azure Dragon, with Dragon horns on his head and a thick Dragon tail behind him. His whole body was covered in raging Dragon scales, majestic and sacred, yet carrying a ferocious and terrifying aura of malice!

Clang—

Ji Taichang scooped up Yun Zhi with one hand, and with the other, he drew the qingming immortal sword. The blazing sword radiance tore through the firmament, illuminating the surroundings and emitting a magnificent Dragon might!

Accompanied by the circling phantom of an Azure Dragon, Ji Taichang's sword strike was sharp and exposed. Wherever the Sword Qi passed, seven or eight Profound Immortal experts were instantly sent flying, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

The attacks from the remaining Profound Immortal experts landed on the Azure Dragon armor but couldn't even leave a single mark; they couldn't break his defense at all!

At this moment, Ji Taichang's majestic and ferocious figure was deeply imprinted in everyone's eyes!

"So, so handsome..."

Yun Zhi was dumbstruck, her pretty face blank as she gazed infatuatedly at Ji Taichang, her rosy, cherry-like lips slightly parted.

[Ding! Yun Zhi's favorability increased by 20 points]

[Yun Zhi's favorability: 5 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

"Immortal Lord-rank armor! And a Golden Immortal Rank sword!"

The Half-step Immortal Monarch Realm powerhouse turned his head abruptly, staring fixedly at the Azure Dragon armor and qingming immortal sword on Ji Taichang, his heart surging with immense waves of shock!

Ji Taichang was merely at the True Immortal Realm, yet he actually possessed two such precious and powerful Magic Treasures!

Moreover, this armor could actually allow Ji Taichang to briefly possess combat power comparable to the Mystic Immortal Realm; this was simply not something an ordinary Immortal Lord-rank Magic Treasure could achieve!

"Good... too good!!"

Pei Yuening was overjoyed, her hanging heart finally relaxing!

She didn't have time to worry about why Ji Taichang had these two supreme treasures.

Taking advantage of the black-robed men being distracted by Ji Taichang, Pei Yuening unleashed her full Immortal power without reservation, pouring it all into the bronze ancient palace!

Rumble—

The bronze ancient palace erupted with billions of strands of lightning, illuminating the entire world in a blazing light. The lightning shocked the sky, as if a Thunder God had descended, and a destructive, violent power erupted with a roar!
