Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1046: Chapter 384: The Might of Old Demon Ji

After the blood cocoon fell into the swamp, it immediately disappeared.

Even the accompanying sounds vanished.

”Not good!”

Ji Yuan instinctively flashed away from his original spot, but just as he disappeared, a figure about one zhang tall appeared at the place where he had stood.

The upper body was human, the lower body was a snake.

A green snake.

Its white hair was disheveled, and a nosering was even tied to its nostrils. In its hand, it held a blood-colored trident, staring dead straight at Ji Yuan opposite.

”Such demon skill, once activated, burns twenty years of my lifespan. Qiu Qianhai, today... you must die!”

As Qi Xiu spoke, a constant ”hissing” sound emitted from his throat.

Ji Yuan looked at this scene, his brow slightly furrowed; he could feel the strong blood Qi emanating from Qi Xiu, indicating his physical body was undoubtedly strong... demon skills, compared to orthodox cultivation techniques, indeed lean closer to body cultivation.

”Die!”

Qi Xiu flicked his tail, and vanished holding the trident.

His speed was so fast that Ji Yuan had to use the short-distance flash of body cultivation. Using magic cultivator’s escape light... he simply couldn’t avoid it.

But after dodging twice, Ji Yuan saw Qi Xiu’s body continuing forward with inertia, and seized this gap.

Initially standing in mid-air, Ji Yuan stepped on the void, shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow, with a fiery red long spear gradually forming in his right hand.

When he flashed near Qi Xiu, the latter also turned around.

Seeing Ji Yuan dare to rush to his face, a trace of delight subconsciously flashed in Qi Xiu’s eyes, thinking Ji Yuan was coming to throw his life away!

But when he saw the long spear, he subconsciously felt something was wrong.

Blood Qi, so powerful!

His thoughts flashed, and Ji Yuan, who had flashed close, fiercely stabbed out with his Fire God Spear.

As the blood surged, all the Blood Qi on Ji Yuan’s body spilled onto the surface, forming a layer of twisted blood mist.

The Fire God Spear shot out like a dragon!

Directly stabbing at Qi Xiu’s heart.

At such close proximity, there was no avoiding it; Qi Xiu too thrust out his trident, intending to kill Ji Yuan in one blow.

After the spear tip pierced the flesh, Qi Xiu thought his demon body would withstand it, but upon feeling the immense force, he realized... it was too late.

He hurriedly raised his right hand, trying to grasp the spear tip firmly.

But under the suppressive power of Blood Qi, the strength of his demon body seemed feeble and powerless.

Once the long spear entered the body, it pressed forward, directly piercing through the heart.

What of his trident?

Just managed to pierce Ji Yuan’s body-covering black armor, but once it touched flesh, it was blocked by the body, unable to advance further.

Between life and death.

Qi Xiu’s mind whirled... how could I not break his body’s defense, and why is his Blood Qi so strong?

Could he have cultivated some demon skill too?

But why is there no trace of demonic aura on the surface... dimly, an answer Qi Xiu dared not believe emerged in his mind.

As Blood Qi surged, Ji Yuan fiercely swung the spear’s tail, and at that moment, a great sun phantom seemed to flash behind him.

”Hmm?”

Ji Yuan also sensed an anomaly, but there was no time to delve deeper, with immense force inclined on the Fire God Spear it almost instantly tore Qi Xiu’s body in half.

Amidst spraying blood mist, Ji Yuan punched out again.

The shadow of his fist swayed, directly scattering the overflowing blood mist.

Though his body was dead, his soul still remained.

Especially someone like Qi Xiu who had cultivated a Divine Soul Secret Technique; his Divine Soul was far stronger than ordinary cultivators.

Thus, Ji Yuan dared not relax in the slightest, after forcing Qi Xiu’s physical destruction with body cultivation methods, he released four Flying Swords from behind him again.

Forming a lightning cage that instantly imprisoned Qi Xiu’s Divine Soul.

...even if I don’t imprison his Divine Soul, the Ghost Envoy would act.

With this thought, Ji Yuan stepped in front of Qi Xiu; the Fire God Spear and Spirit Devouring Armor both disintegrated into dust, while the Spirit-Devouring Bee and Blazing Fire Soldier Ant were long stored away in his Spirit Beast Bag.

”In the end... Brother Qiu’s skills are still superior,”

Qi Xiu’s remaining soul grimly laughed.

”Brother Qi isn’t bad either.”

In this sentiment, Ji Yuan didn’t lie; without the costless Purple Sky Divine Thunder, it would be impossible to defeat Qi Xiu today.

”Alright, I won’t say ’please spare me.’ With Brother Qiu’s temperament... surely he won’t spare me... cough cough cough.”

Qi Xiu said, violently coughing a few times.

”The ’Jiu Que Soul Quelling Sutra’ is engraved on a piece of human skin. That human skin... I placed it alone in a Storage Bag, and that Storage Bag was just thrown to the bottom of the swamp. If Brother Qiu searches carefully, he should find it.”

”No need for Brother Qi to worry about that.”

Ji Yuan remained unmoved, not even really believing Qi Xiu’s words.

Qi Xiu spoke, his soul’s hollow gaze looking at Ji Yuan, ultimately choosing telepathy to say:

”Body cultivator... still at Core Formation Realm, on behalf of a dying man, Brother Qiu, could you reveal if Black and White Divine Hall truly has mastered a body cultivation technique capable of achieving Core Formation?”

As a local cultivator of Jiyuan Continent, Qi Xiu didn’t even know how the stages of body cultivation are divided.
