Chapter 312: 172, Crucial Hou Yuduan_2
"Bailu Academy being the leader of The Righteous Path is due to its unique aspects,"
This was a conversation between Wuxin the Taoist Master and the Southern Medicine Master. Although Hou Yuxiao did not understand everything, he could guess the general meaning. In fact, even if the two hadn't spoken, he had already realized how terrifying Ji Yanzhi's move was.
At this moment, he stood stiffly, staring motionless at the sky, his eyes filled with horror and fear. It wasn't that he didn't want to move; he simply couldn't.
From the moment Ji Yanzhi shouted that "stop," he had been unable to move.
Not just him, but everyone present, including the six experts, were immobilized. The oppressive force of Maiden Hong's sea of blood had not yet dissipated, and now Ji Yanzhi's Righteous Qi fire sea had been added. Everyone felt as if two heavy deities were pressing down on their chests, stripping them of all thoughts of resistance.
Fortunately, his head was raised at the moment, so he had a clear view of the situation above.
Ji Yanzhi's sword thrust sent forth a beam of white light that moved extremely slowly, which should be the Righteous Spirit Sword mentioned by Wuxin the Taoist Master. They call it extremely slow because they themselves couldn't even move. Naturally, the Sword Qi seemed slow to them, but in the eyes of Maiden Hong above, the speed of this Sword Qi had already reached its limit.
The instant that Sword Qi appeared, Maiden Hong's pupils showed a deep fear. However, within Ji Yanzhi's Righteous Qi fire sea, she too was affected by that "stop" and could not even twitch, only watching helplessly as the Sword Qi pierced into her brow.
Sss...
The Righteous Spirit Sword pierced into her brow, and as if water and fire were merging, thick smoke rose from Maiden Hong's body, making a terribly harsh sound, accompanied by her painful and mournful wails.
Ah... Ah... Brother, spare me... Brother, please let me go...
Maiden Hong, was actually begging for mercy?
Hou Yuxiao stood on the ground, witnessing Maiden Hong's wails turn into pleas and sobs. His pupils filled with astonishment, but this surprise quickly disappeared after seeing Ji Yanzhi's calm expression and hearing Maiden Hong's subsequent screams.
"Let me go... Spare Ling Er... Brother... I beg you, I beg you... Heehee... I beg of you... Heeheehee... Heeheehee..."
Maiden Hong's wailing initially was mixed with a few cruel laughs. But as she realized her pleas were futile, not only did her wailing fade, but the sharp, piercing cruel laughter grew more rampant and unrestrained.
"Old fool, do you think you can kill me with your life? I hold a third Karmic Position, already attained the Indestructible Karmic Position, my physical form forever undying, no external force able to destroy me. The only way to suppress me is with the Divine Dynasty's seal. The Great Yu Dynasty has long vanished into the sands of time. I am an invincible existence. Even if you sacrifice your life, you can't destroy me, hahahaha..."
"Everything has its counter in this world, there is nothing indestructible under heaven. The most precious thing on you is that millennia blood tree heart, and your greatest weakness is also it!"
At Ji Yanzhi's words, Maiden Hong's laughter stopped abruptly.
On the ground, Hou Yuxiao immediately grasped the meaning of these words, his gaze turning towards Master Yuan Kong and Moxuzi.
"Your true form was destroyed once before by Mo Yunzi, wasn't it?"
Maiden Hong's eyes grew somber, but before she could speak, Ji Yanzhi turned and shouted down: "Wuxin, Southern Medicine Master, please lend me your strength, and help me slay this demon..."
"Good!"
Hearing Ji Yanzhi, Wuxin the Taoist Master, and the Buddha Southern Medicine Master nodded simultaneously. Their gazes concentrated, they reached out and gently touched Master Yuan Kong and Moxuzi, and instantly, two blood-colored Longswords flew out from behind them.
Both mighty beings grasped the blood-colored Longswords, and their auras abruptly increased several times over. Their original solid phantasms, seemingly drained of too much power at once, became thin and sparse.
They appeared to have been waiting for this moment all along. The blood-colored Longswords in their hands, each bearing a golden Buddha's light and Taoist purple qi, tore through the sky, creating terrifying spatial rifts, and directly plunged into Maiden Hong's shoulders.
The instant the two Longswords entered her shoulders, Maiden Hong, who was already immobilized, turned deathly pale. Her vitality was reduced by at least seventy percent.
However, she raised her head, and there wasn't a trace of panic in her eyes. Instead, she looked left and right at the Longswords in her shoulders, then focused her gaze back on Ji Yanzhi, laughing coldly.
"You know very well that Mo Yunzi killed me and used my tree heart to forge three swords. Sadly, Xue Zhao and Xue Yang are still around, only Blood Shadow is missing. It seems you still can't kill me..."
Wuxin the Taoist Master and Buddha Southern Medicine Master, only their projections had come, and now Ji Yanzhi's vitality was completely drained, powerless to act further. And she herself had only lost seventy percent of her vitality, still significantly hampered and weakened, but she hadn't died—an undeniable fact.
For a demon, as long as death is avoided, powerful recovery abilities ensure strength will eventually return, and with enough blood nourishment, this process wouldn't take too long.
Moreover, she was a high-ranked demon of the Indestructible Realm, far surpassing other ordinary demons by any means of comparison.
So in her view, Ji Yanzhi's inability to kill her was a foregone conclusion.
"Since you knew that four years ago, it was I who brought the Blood Shadow Sword, do you think I wouldn't bring the Blood Shadow Sword along?"
