Chapter 36 Counterattack Against the Cultivator
Ji Yun was extremely fast, reaching the limit of a third-level Qi Refining cultivator in the blink of an eye.
With the aid of his aerial flight technique, he plunged into the lower layers of the night sea like a night falcon.
"Good lad."
"They run pretty fast."
"But you are doomed to die today."
A middle-aged swordsman was chasing after them, and immediately flew off on his sword to pursue them.
He found it difficult to close the distance immediately.
However, since Ye Hai's swordsmanship was characterized by speed, he was not completely outpaced.
Moreover, Ji Yun was carrying someone in his hand, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of the talisman.
So the two of them went one in front of the other.
Flying rapidly through the vast night sea.
……
Passing by the second floor of Yehai.
The two encountered an archipelago, with nearly a hundred islands scattered like stars, on which houses were neatly arranged, spiritual fields stretched out, and cultivators lived and practiced in peace.
Wow.
The sword rang out, piercing the air, and swept past in a flash.
Many cultivators on the island looked up and saw a dark figure fleeing rapidly ahead, followed by a white-robed swordsman who was as elegant as an immortal.
Like two shooting stars.
He fell from the dark sky to the mortal world.
"They must be high-ranking cultivators!"
"Mother, come out and see!"
"He seems to be a senior righteous cultivator, chasing after a demonic cultivator?"
While everyone was speculating, the two streaks of light had already fallen into the lower level and disappeared.
……
"Kid, how long can your talisman last? It's probably about to run out, isn't it?"
"You can't escape."
"Surrender and you might still live!"
The middle-aged swordsman shouted loudly, his tone calm and composed, as if victory was assured.
A mere high-grade talisman.
It's already quite an achievement that we managed to escape this far.
Ji Yun remained silent, only glancing back at the man from afar.
They have now escaped to the first level of the Night Sea, and the talisman is indeed about to lose its effect.
But who says he only has one?
He still had several of these Wind-Controlling Shadow Escape Talismans in his storage bag, which he could use to continue his escape.
"Pursue at this speed."
"Even with spirit stones to replenish his energy, he still depletes a significant amount of spiritual energy within his body."
"Let's stall him a little longer."
Ji Yun had his own plans.
From the moment he used his unique talisman, his secret was exposed. Between him and the sword cultivator, one of them had to leave this night sea completely.
Ji Yun, however, was unwilling to leave.
Then we have no choice but to send this sword cultivator away.
……
A long time passed.
The two entered the first level of the Night Sea one after the other, just inches away from the eerie abyss.
The middle-aged swordsman stopped shouting and silently followed behind Ji Yun.
Finally, at this moment.
Ji Yun suddenly slowed down and disappeared into a dense mass of gravel.
"Ha ha."
"Where can you hide?"
The middle-aged swordsman cast a spell with hand seals, then flung the magic spell into the sky, illuminating the night sea with a blinding light as bright as day.
Almost simultaneously.
Ji Yun's whereabouts were revealed by the light.
The middle-aged swordsman immediately pointed, and a flying sword shot out, aiming for Ji Yun's brow.
Wow.
Two talismans burst forth.
Ji Yun used the Wind-Riding Shadow Escape Talisman to accelerate again, barely managing to evade the flying sword's pursuit.
Another strange green light disappeared into the shadow of the rubble and headed towards the middle-aged swordsman.
"There are quite a few talismans."
"But it's useless against me!"
The middle-aged swordsman made a hand seal with his fingers together, unleashing a sword aura that shattered the green light.
Just then, I was distracted.
Ji Yun's figure suddenly disappeared, without releasing any spiritual energy, silently hiding in the gravel belt.
Clang!
A horizontal slash of sword light.
It swept across the entire belt of gravel.
The middle-aged sword cultivator, with his rich experience, concluded that Ji Yun must be hiding nearby, so he simply used a group attack to cover him and force him to reveal himself.
Wow.
Large shards of rock exploded and flew everywhere.
Those fragments were extremely fast; if you were hit by them, you would definitely be seriously injured.
Ji Yun was forced to reveal himself, his figure obscured as he continued to flee into the abyss below.
"I have no desire to play games with you anymore."
"Prepare to die."
The sword cultivator snorted coldly, took out another longsword from his storage bag, and slashed through the air.
A cold glint flashed by.
In an instant, he slashed at Ji Yun.
Ji Yun threw out a magical artifact, seemingly having exhausted all other options and forced to abandon it to block the way.
Bang!
The magical artifact was cut in two.
The middle-aged swordsman paid no attention, chasing after the enemy with his sword and slashing again.
Each strike was the full force of a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator, and Ji Yun had to parry with a high-grade first-tier talisman or intercept it with discarded items.
After several times.
Ji Yun was powerless to block.
He could only weave through the rubble, constantly dodging and weaving to avoid the slashes.
"Good lad."
"There are so many strange and high-grade talismans."
The sword cultivator was also quite surprised.
The talismans that this boy threw out were all strange and unheard of, and he couldn't recognize a single one of them.
Even he had to take out a high-grade protective magic artifact to stop it.
This child must be hiding something!
I'll definitely interrogate them later.
At that moment, he saw Ji Yun suddenly stop and turn around to look at him.
"Is there no way out?"
"I will tell you about all the opportunities you have had."
"I'll give you a quick and painless death."
The sword cultivator caught up with him on his sword, looked down at Ji Yun from his high position, and spoke in a cold voice.
"May I ask which senior you are?"
"I am willing to become a disciple of this senior."
"I am also willing to offer up all the origins and drawing methods of these talismans."
Ji Yun placed Chu Qinghe on the gravel, panting and begging for mercy.
"These talismans must have been drawn by a talisman master at the third level of Qi Refining. Who is standing behind you? Where is this person located?"
"Tell the truth."
The sword cultivator asked in a cold voice.
He had taken control of the situation, but he did not let his guard down and kept a close eye on Ji Yun.
"I learned it from this picture."
"I hand-drew it myself."
Ji Yun took out a yellowed and worn-out roll of cloth from his storage bag and presented it with both hands.
"Oh?"
The sword cultivator focused his attention on it.
The cloth roll had no spiritual light, yet it faintly emitted a strange aura.
"Please look, senior!"
Ji Yun suddenly unrolled the cloth.
Suddenly, a chilling black mist surged out from the roll of cloth, instantly enveloping an area of a hundred feet in radius.
"What a thief!"
"There's also a low-grade second-tier magic weapon!"
The sword cultivator sensed something was wrong and instinctively retreated on his sword, trying to escape the black mist.
Who would have thought that this retreat would last for so long.
After a short while, he was still trapped in the black mist.
"wrong!"
"Has this been caused by a talisman?"
"There are actually such talismans!"
"I shouldn't have retreated; I should have killed that scoundrel first!"
The sword cultivator felt remorse.
He looked around, but all he could see was black mist; he couldn't spot Ji Yun at all.
It's not that the area covered by the black fog is too large.
Instead, he simply couldn't tell which way was which and kept going around in circles!
Thinking of this.
He immediately took out his magical artifact to protect himself, and then drew his sword and slashed fiercely in all directions.
Clang!
Sword beams slashed into the black mist, but they were like mud oxen entering the sea, having no effect whatsoever.
Instead, black mist surged around him, wrapping around him in waves.
"town!"
The sword cultivator activated a high-grade magic weapon, manifesting a bright yellow spiritual light to protect himself, and then took out spirit stones to quickly replenish the spiritual energy in his body.
It's now a war of attrition.
With only a Qi Refining Level 2 cultivation, it's impossible for someone at the Qi Refining Level 4 to use a magic weapon for long.
As long as he can hold out until the thief runs out of spiritual energy, he will be able to break free!
……
Meanwhile, in the gravel belt.
Ji Yun let out a long sigh, slowly rolled up the soul-summoning banner, and put it into his storage bag.
Not far in front of him.
The middle-aged swordsman collapsed onto the rubble, his soul already absorbed by the soul banner, leaving only an empty shell before him.
He walked up to him.
Pick up the longsword that had fallen to the side.
Ji Yun slowly raised his hand, and with a flash of sword light, accurately pierced the middle-aged sword cultivator's throat.
This battle was extremely costly.
A lot of talismans were used.
Fortunately, his soul-summoning banner was made of top-quality materials, even among magic artifacts of the fourth level of Qi Refining.
This banner can revive the souls of cultivators.
Combined with a superior Bewitching Talisman, he launched a surprise attack when the opponent was off guard, thus succeeding in one strike.
"The harvest should be quite substantial."
"This person is, after all, at the third level of Qi Refining."
Ji Yun quickly bent down, picked up the sword cultivator's storage bag, and then took the corpse away.
We cannot linger here.
First, take Chu Qinghe back to the Zhao family, and then slowly take stock of the spoils.
