Chapter 438 Qiankun Jade
The countless eerie shadows rushed towards Yuan Huaji below, then suddenly transformed into thin lines that pierced into Yuan Huaji's seven orifices.
"Ahhhhh!!"
A pitiful scream came from Yuan Huaji's mouth as he frantically scratched his face, trying to pull out the strange figures that had rushed in.
Soon, Yuan Huaji's entire face was torn off, revealing the bright red flesh beneath.
Just then, the blade of the nuclear sword in the sky suddenly turned crimson and rushed down towards Yuan Huaji, slashing directly at his neck.
Click!
With a crisp sound, a faceless head rolled to the ground.
[You have slain an immortal of Changqing Palace; your lifespan has increased by 1958 years and 13 days!]
Ding Yi was slightly taken aback when he saw the prompt in front of him. This guy seemed pretty strong, but he didn't expect that the lifespan value he obtained in the end would be even lower than the previous one.
Never mind, he turned to look at the Immortal Alliance cultivator who had already begun to flee, and then with a wave of his hand, the nuclear sword flew back into his hand with a "hum".
Ding Yi watched the man's retreating figure, then expressionlessly threw the nuclear sword again before fleeing quickly outside.
Before long, Ding Yi arrived at the edge of the blood-red forest.
But Ding Yi's expression showed no sign of relaxation. Instead, he slowed his pace and looked ahead with a slight frown.
The next moment, Ding Yi kicked a stone on the ground, sending it flying out of the forest.
"Oh!"
After flying only a few dozen meters, the stone suddenly bounced back in the void ahead, as if it had hit something.
At the point of impact, a transparent ripple was created, clearly indicating that something unseen in the void was blocking his way.
"It's troublesome."
Ding Yi frowned slightly. This barrier had clearly not existed before, but it suddenly appeared now, which was naturally the work of Changqing Palace.
According to those Immortal Alliance cultivators, this barrier was likely created by that Venerable One. Therefore, if we forcefully break through the barrier, it might attract the Venerable One's attention.
Ding Yi stood there pondering, stroking his chin, when suddenly a whooshing sound came from behind him.
Without turning his head, Ding Yi reached out and grabbed something, which landed steadily in his hand—the nuclear sword had returned.
Looking at the bright red bloodstains on it, Ding Yi shook it expressionlessly before putting the nuclear sword back into the tattoo.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a brand new black robe from the tattoo and put it on, then quickly rushed to the right along the boundary.
In the forest, at the edge.
Several cultivators were gathered here, looking at the void in front of them and discussing something.
"This is a Venerable One's divine power; it cannot be broken."
A cultivator from the Immortal Alliance said with a frown.
"If we can't think of a solution, we'll be dead once those people from Changqing Palace catch up with us."
The other person said in a cold voice.
“I have a Celestial Guiding Token that can guide the Venerable One of my Palace to descend, but unfortunately, it will only be effective if this restriction is broken.”
"Of course, I have one too!"
"Exactly, who comes here without a secret weapon?"
"Alright, stop arguing. Have you seen Murong Wentian? Right now, he's probably the only one who has the strength to fight."
"You know what, we haven't seen him yet. Do you think he might...?"
"Impossible! He's one of the top fifty experts on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. If he were dead, how would we have survived until now?!"
Someone immediately shook their head and said.
"Huh? Another one has arrived. It's Nangong Lie."
As everyone was talking, a man suddenly emerged hurriedly from the woods; it was Nangong Lie.
Nangong Lie looked at the crowd in front of him and then said:
"Do any of you have any good ideas?"
Upon seeing this, those people immediately shook their heads, and then one of them said:
"How did Changqing Palace end up here? In the end, it was that pharmacist who was behind it. The best course of action now is to find that pharmacist; perhaps we can find a way to escape."
Everyone agreed that this made perfect sense, but someone else said:
"That being said, no one has ever seen this pharmacist, and we cannot place our hopes on such an illusory thing."
"Gentlemen, we've come this far, so let's not hold back any of our methods."
Finally, a tall cultivator from the Immortal Alliance spoke in a cold voice, then slowly took something out of his robes and placed it in his palm.
"This is?!"
Upon seeing this object, someone was immediately startled and then said:
"The Qiankun Jade? Your palace master even gave you this?"
Upon hearing this, the man said:
"I am a direct descendant of the Palace Master. It is quite reasonable that this object contains the power of a Venerable's strike."
Upon hearing this, the others immediately took a step back, instantly isolating the man in place.
Upon seeing this, the man let out a cold laugh and continued:
"However, this is an offensive Qiankun Jade. If I use it, I will definitely be targeted by that Venerable of Changqing Palace. If you can provide a defensive Qiankun Jade, I can give it a try."
At this moment, everyone understood the man's purpose.
He was simply worried that using this jade would attract the attention of that Venerable One, and wanted a Qiankun Jade to save his life.
Once this formation is broken, the news will be instantly sensed by Venerables billions of miles away. If they can hold out for even a moment, they can turn the tide.
"I do not possess such a treasure. I am merely ranked a little over a hundred on the Hidden Dragon List, far from being worth this Qiankun Jade."
Someone sighed and said.
The others all shook their heads, but Nangong Lie stood there silently.
Unbeknownst to them, Ding Yi was using a concealment technique to stand quietly in the jungle behind them, observing them intently.
"Qiankun Jade?"
Ding Yi looked at the jade pendant in the man's hand, and his expression immediately turned strange.
If we could get our hands on this thing and upgrade it, wouldn't it be phenomenal?!
However, he didn't dare to snatch it at this moment. After all, such a powerful thing was in someone else's hands. If he rushed out now, wouldn't that be just courting death?
He made up his mind that he must be extra careful when encountering geniuses from the Immortal Alliance or the Demon Palace in the future, and he absolutely had to see the Flowing Sand Diagram.
After all, if a cultivator who possesses this thing harbors murderous intent towards him, it will definitely not be marked with a small red cross or a large red cross, but rather with a red skull or something similar.
At this moment, the cultivators over there also noticed Nangong Lie's situation, and they immediately asked:
"Brother Nangong, is there something you want to say?"
Nangong Lie seemed to struggle internally for a moment before raising his head and saying:
"I have a defensive Qiankun Jade, but only I can use it. If you want to leave, give me yours."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately turned strange, even the guy holding the offensive Qiankun Jade was taken aback.
"Make a decision quickly, or none of you will survive."
Nangong Lie's expression turned cold, and he urged him on.
Seeing this, the others tried to persuade the man, who seemed to sense the increasingly sinister killing intent in the forest and immediately threw the Qiankun Jade in his hand to Nangong Lie.
"I've heard of Brother Nangong's good reputation, let's get moving."
Nangong Lie accepted the Qiankun Jade with a calm expression, then suddenly covered his cheek with his right hand and let out a sinister laugh.
"Ah, how easily fooled they are. I was thinking, how could I possibly have something like Qiankun Jade?"
P.S.: Godfathers, please give me some free gifts! It's a new month, let's help Hamburger climb the rankings!
