Chapter 279: 159. Ding Dian Rebels Against the Sect_2
With palpitations in their hearts, the six people frantically fled towards the ground.
As they fled, they used the True Yuan from the three flowers above their heads to form a protective shield behind them. Even so, Moxuzi still didn't feel safe and took out a shield from his Sea of Consciousness to guard his back.
One couldn't blame the six for such a drastic reaction...
After all, at this moment, aside from Ji Yanzhi, it was they who were the closest.
Technically, they were all at the Great Perfection level of the Yuan Dan Realm, belonging to first-class forces, and had seen quite a bit of the world. However, even they felt a strong sense of oppression in the face of those blood-colored spears streaking across the sky.
Without a doubt, this feeling of oppression wasn't misplaced in the slightest!
Whooo...
The blood-colored spears caused an angry wind to howl as they rubbed against the air, producing a series of piercing screeches. The turbulent demon qi that followed wreaked havoc upon the vast land, tearing out streaks of black space cracks.
You see, these space cracks belonged to extraterritorial space. Being sucked into them meant no hope for survival. The six great masters, who were initially racing to the ground, saw these cracks and twitched their eyebrows in panic, slowing down to dodge them while meticulously avoiding the streams of demon qi swirling around them.
After all, these streams were sharp enough to cut through space. If they hit them, even if they didn't die, they'd likely lose a layer of skin, to say the least.
Keep in mind that those blood-colored spears hadn't truly descended yet. It was merely the streams of demon qi they stirred up that overwhelmed the six without a shred of resistance. If Maiden Hong was targeting them, wouldn't it be utterly hopeless?
A Fourth-Rank Senluo demon, that's just too powerful!
Ji Yanzhi, can he withstand it?
"A surge of Righteous Qi turns into a long sword, sweeping across the universe to vanquish the demonic..."
Just as this question flashed through the minds of the six, as if to answer them, when the skyful of blood-colored spears were just concentrated around him, Ji Yanzhi put away the complex expressions on his face, stood with his hands behind his back, and recited a solemn and dignified chant.
As he finished speaking, a white Confucian radiance exploded from above his head, suddenly rising to the sky. It extended slowly upwards, for ten meters... one hundred meters... one thousand meters... until finally it reached a height of hundreds of miles, almost breaking through the sky before stopping.
The white light continuously expanded in the air, eventually solidifying into a Confucian Dao sword, forming a state of equilibrium with the stagnant blood-spears surrounding it.
Upon witnessing this scene, Maiden Hong's face revealed a touch of ferocity once again.
The solemnity on Ji Yanzhi's face was also boosted a few degrees.
The two locked eyes across the void, their gazes simultaneously intensifying.
The blood-spears and the Confucian Dao sword clashed fiercely.
This collision was like thunder striking the earth, igniting the ground.
The earth began to tremble, and the rivers and mountains swayed.
The vast Confucian Vast Righteous Qi and the extremely domineering Demon Qi began their most intense confrontation at this moment. Merely the aftershocks were enough to catapult the six great masters to the ground in an instant. The sky above Tongling was completely shrouded in red and white light, dazzling everyone to the point where they could not open their eyes.
......
At the western gate of Tongling, a dense crowd of approximately three thousand people stood solemnly, weapons in hand, ready for battle.
Despite the fact that the tumult caused by the confrontation above the prefectural city forced everyone to bow their heads and close their eyes, the horror and shock on their faces were still clearly visible.
At the very front of the crowd stood a line of about fifty people, all above the Gang Qi Realm in cultivation. The man in green leading them exuded the most powerful aura, but it was clearly a bit unstable, a sign that he had just made a breakthrough and had not yet fully mastered the control of the True Qi in his Dantian.
As the one with the highest cultivation, Hou Yuxiao was naturally the first to open his eyes. After doing so, he looked up at the sky, but the horror on his face had not subsided and had even become heavier.
After a dozen breaths, the others also gradually opened their eyes, expressing similar feelings to his. Only the Fourth Elder, Hou Yu Jie, who stood by his side, thought for a moment before approaching and speaking softly.
"Big brother, it seems that the expert is from Bailu Academy. I remember during the Zhaoyang Disturbance, Tian Fazheng used this technique against Sikong Yue, although it wasn't as grand as this," he said.
"It's like comparing heaven and earth; the person who has come must have a strength far beyond our imagination!"
During the Zhaoyang Disturbance, the Sword Qi that Tian Fazheng had unleashed was only about ten meters, but the one before them now was hundreds of miles long. Leaving aside the appearance, just from the aftershocks of the Sword Qi, it seemed the visitor's strength was far superior to that of Master Fanyin and the other six great masters. What kind of cultivation could this be?
Martial Dao Yin Yang Saint Realm, or something even beyond the Saint Realm?
As they wondered, suddenly, Li Sanyun spoke up.
"The Righteous Long Sword chant, if I'm not mistaken, originates from Yangzhou Bailu Academy's one of the seven Mountain Chiefs, Ji Yanzhi!" he said.
Upon hearing the name Ji Yanzhi, Hou Yuxiao's expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned to Li Sanyun and asked, "Is it the Great Confucian Ji Yanzhi who took Tian Fazheng under his wing at Bailu Academy?"
Li Sanyun looked surprised for a moment, and after some contemplation, he nodded. With a hint of surprise, he said, "It's unexpected that the Family Head would know about this. Four years ago, in 1318, Ji Yanzhi was indeed passing through Tianling County and did take a disciple named Tian Fazheng. But how...?"
When Hou Yuxiao heard Li Sanyun's words, he frowned deeply, not responding and merely waved his hand slightly to indicate that Li didn't need to continue.
He then raised his head once more to gaze at the blood light in the sky, a thoughtful expression flashing across his face.
Four years ago, Ji Yanzhi passed through Tianling County and took on Tian Fazheng?
