80: Chapter 80 Defying the Nascent Soul!

Boom!!

Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly echoed from the heavens. The startling sound waves made everyone's eardrums sting and buzz.

The twelve black flags formed a Formation barrier, enveloping the entire Alchemy Assembly venue and isolating it from the outside world.

But at this moment, the Formation barrier was under a terrifying attack. The Devilish Qi twisted and dissipated, and the twelve flags were shaking; it clearly wouldn't hold for much longer.

"How can this be?!"

Seeing this, Luo Hongyi's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition welled up within her!

"General Yang isn't at the Prince's Mansion, and the Prince of Lanzhou is unconscious from severe injuries. Only an old steward at the Nascent Soul Stage remains. Old Thirteen shouldn't be unable to stop that old thing whose vitality is fading."

"Which Nascent Soul Stage expert is bombarding the Formation barrier??"

In this urgent situation, Luo Hongyi didn't have time to think further.

The priority was to capture all these Cultivators at the Alchemy Assembly!!

With a sharp cry, she poured her devilish power into the Soul Banner without reservation, striking with all her might. In an instant, a mournful wind howled, and countless resentful spirits and ghosts shrieked as they rushed out, pouncing toward Ji Taichang.

The Soul Banner released a terrifying devouring power, intending to forcibly pull in all the Cultivators at the Alchemy Assembly!

"Witch, cease your insolence!"

Ji Taichang's voice was like rolling thunder, and his entire body radiated a blinding golden light. A terrifying Sword Intent emanated from him, sweeping across the heavens and the earth, causing the swords of everyone present to vibrate and hum violently before flying out uncontrollably to circle around him!

The resentful spirits and ghosts rushing out of the Soul Banner shattered into pieces before they could even get close to him!

Ji Taichang rose into the air, his black hair flying and his robes dancing in the wind. His Aura was like a rainbow, as if an Immortal sword god had descended to the world!

Many Sect Cultivators looked up, staring blankly at Ji Taichang's tall and stalwart figure, completely mesmerized!

Boom!!

Ji Taichang formed hand seals, pushing the power of the Supreme Sword Bone to its limit. He poured it all into the golden feather flying sword, which erupted with endless sword light and slashed toward the Soul Banner!

The two collided once more, producing an earth-shattering roar. Golden Sword Qi and black Devilish Qi surged violently, annihilating each other and sending out wave after wave of aftershocks that knocked many Cultivators off their feet.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd...

The golden feather flying sword, carrying the momentum of a thousand thunderbolts, actually sent the Soul Banner flying again. Even Luo Hongyi let out a muffled groan, forced back three steps by the shock!

"This... how is this possible!?"

Even Luo Hongyi was stunned, staring fixedly at Ji Taichang as waves of shock crashed through her heart!

Although she was still recovering from severe injuries and couldn't exert her full strength, her full-powered strike could still unleash power at the third level of the Nascent Soul Stage. Yet, she was still pushed back by Ji Taichang!

Ji Taichang is only at the Golden Core Stage Ninth Level!!

Using a Golden Core Stage cultivation to fight back against a Nascent Soul, and one at the third level at that, was simply unheard of!

What a terrifying Prodigy!!

Even the most brilliant Prodigies of the Great Wu Dynasty would pale in comparison to Ji Taichang, like mayflies looking at the moon!

"Such a terrifying Prodigy—even those supreme Holy Lands and Immortal Sects might not be able to cultivate one!"

"Where... exactly did he come from?"

"If I could dual cultivate with such a Prodigy..."

Luo Hongyi was shocked, but her eyes also held a complex mix of wariness, admiration, and fervor. Staring at Ji Taichang's stalwart figure, she subconsciously squeezed her legs together, rubbing them slightly, and couldn't help but lick her red lips!

[Ding! Luo Hongyi's favorability has increased by 110 points. The host can obtain 10% of Black Fiend Demon Venerable's cultivation/abilities. Please choose.]

[Luo Hongyi's favorability: 10 (A surprise will occur when favorability reaches 100!)]

The System's notification suddenly rang in Ji Taichang's mind out of the blue.

?

Even Ji Taichang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a question mark appearing over his head.

Wait, what, bro?!

Is this right?

Before he could figure out why Luo Hongyi's favorability had increased, the woman had already charged toward him like a lightning bolt, Soul Banner in hand!

Ji Taichang snorted coldly, unafraid. He raised his golden feather flying sword, erupting with sky-piercing Sword Intent to engage Luo Hongyi in fierce combat!

With the overlapping powers of the Supreme Sword Bone and Blood Burst, Ji Taichang's combat strength was extremely terrifying. Streaks of Sword Qi swept across the sky, repeatedly clashing and fighting with Luo Hongyi, creating bursts of roaring sounds that shook the surroundings.

Even as strong as Luo Hongyi was, she actually fell into a disadvantage for a time and was wounded by Ji Taichang!

This scene was so incredible that everyone present was dumbfounded, their gazes blank and shocked!

"Who... exactly is Senior Ximen Chuifeng!"

"To be so terrifyingly talented, could he be from those ancient and fearsome Holy Lands or Immortal Sects?"

Qin Miaoyi couldn't help but mutter to herself, staring blankly at Ji Taichang. Waves of immense shock rolled through her heart!

Fighting back against a Nascent Soul as a Golden Core—throughout the history of the Great Wu Dynasty, from ancient times to the present, no one had ever been able to do it!

There was a chasm-like divide between the Nascent Soul Stage and the Golden Core Stage. Logically, it should be impossible to cross!

"Xiao Chang (Husband) is actually this powerful... as expected of someone who received an Immortal's blessing!!"

Lin Xueyue and Yang Yao watched Ji Taichang with infatuation, their gazes as soft as water.

Ji Taichang's performance at this moment made them even more firmly believe that he had received an Immortal's blessing!

Otherwise, there was no way to explain how he had become so powerful and terrifying!

After Ji Taichang and Luo Hongyi had been fighting fiercely for a while...

A deafening roar suddenly rang out. A golden halberd seemed to split the heavens and earth, tearing through the surging Devilish Qi and forcibly cleaving open the Formation barrier!

A burly and tall figure stepped through the air, clad in golden armor and holding a halberd, looking like a Martial God descending. A terrifying Nascent Soul Stage pressure swept in all directions, causing Luo Hongyi's expression to change drastically!

What horrified her most was that the person was carrying a bloody head in his hand, its eyes wide open as if it had died with a grievance.

It was none other than the Thirteenth Elder of the Blood Lotus Sect, a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse!

"Prince of Lanzhou!"

"You... weren't you severely injured and unconscious? Why are you fine!"

Luo Hongyi couldn't help but cry out in shock, her face twisting slightly!

The Prince of Lanzhou didn't answer. Instead, he scanned the Alchemy Assembly venue. Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, he finally let out a sigh of relief!

"Hmm?!"

The Prince of Lanzhou's gaze soon fell upon Ji Taichang. He actually sensed an indescribable feeling of pressure, and waves of immense shock couldn't help but rise in his heart!

A Golden Core Stage Ninth Level Cultivator could actually make an established Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse like him, famous for hundreds of years, feel pressured??

The Prince of Lanzhou didn't have time to think. Seeing Luo Hongyi turn to flee, he immediately let out a cold shout!

"Audacious witch, die!!"

The Prince of Lanzhou stomped his foot, transforming into a streak of brilliant golden light. He gave chase rapidly, raising his halberd to strike down fiercely!

Luo Hongyi was no match for the Prince of Lanzhou even at her peak, let alone now when she was still injured!
