Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1065: Chapter 388: The Meeting of Old Demon Ji and Old Demon Qiu (Part 2)

But now, with Elder Ji’s involvement, things might not be so certain.

Because for those who understood the situation, Old Demon Ji, who disappeared for decades and returned with a vengeance, was definitely among the top combatants within the Core Formation Stage.

The battle continued.

Mu Xueyao watched the scene, a bit worried, turning her head to look at Ji Yuan, and asked via voice transmission: "Brother Ji, are you going to make a move?"

"Yes!"

Ji Yuan didn’t hesitate at all, "But not now. I’ll strike once they are almost done fighting. I want to weigh this Old Demon Ji and see who exactly he is!"

Previously, when Ji Yuan hadn’t seen this Old Demon Ji, he was searching everywhere for his traces. Now he had finally encountered him.

How could he let this chance slip by?

It’s just a Peak of Core Formation, it’s not like I haven’t killed one before!

"...Alright."

Seeing Ji Yuan’s decisive response, Mu Xueyao didn’t ask again. This wasn’t something she could influence anyway.

The battle continued bit by bit, much like the scene when Ji Yuan previously watched the besiege of the Poisonous Corpse King, but this time the target had changed.

"Blood-colored Demon Skill... Such a reckless style, Lifebound Magical Treasure being two Crescent Moon Sabers... No, what is this cultivation technique? Why does it look... Could it be another Divine Soul Technique?"

"That’s unlikely. No matter when, Divine Soul Techniques shouldn’t be so common."

"..."

Ji Yuan’s focus this time was entirely on Old Demon Ji.

Especially since he would be facing him soon, so watching attentively was necessary... Just like now, this Invisibility Vine couldn’t be detected by Divine Sense, making it extremely adept at ambushing from behind.

Often, it would easily succeed.

Even Xun Tianji couldn’t avoid this.

But Old Demon Ji was different. Whenever a vine attempted to ambush him from behind, it would wither for no apparent reason.

Yet Ji Yuan clearly didn’t see him wearing any other Protective Talismans.

This method of killing invisibly reminded Ji Yuan of the previous Qi Xiu.

"...It seems that when I face him, I need to guard against his insidious tricks. But if it really is Divine Soul attacks, then it should be fine. I have the Soul Suppressing Bell to resist."

"And given my Nascent Soul Stage divine soul, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

As for the upcoming fight, Ji Yuan naturally planned to continue using the tactics he used against the Poisonous Corpse King earlier, wearing the Spirit Devouring Armor, wielding the Fire God Spear, and stepping on the Chasing Lightning Cloud.

When the time came, he would close in immediately, striking this Old Demon Ji hard with a few shots.

Even if it couldn’t kill him, it had to make him suffer!

With thoughts in mind, Ji Yuan began to look forward a bit.

"..."

"Master, while we are besieging this Tier Four Spirit Plant, chances are that Nascent Soul Monster in the shadows... will most likely come to ambush."

Qiu Qianhai, hiding in the Sea of Consciousness to watch the battle, had his own unique feeling, seeing things more thoroughly and thinking more broadly.

"Don’t worry, if he dares to come, even if he’s a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he’ll come and won’t be able to return."

Even though they were besieging this Tier Four Spirit Plant, Nightmare True Monarch appeared composed and relaxed.

However, when he thought about Nightmare True Monarch using his body, Qiu Qianhai felt a vague feeling he couldn’t quite describe—whether it was helplessness, regret, or... anger.

On the entire Jiyuan Continent, the top-tier Core Formation Cultivators were besieging a Tier Four Early Stage Spirit Plant, which truly couldn’t withstand it.

In just half a day, Xun Tianji and the others had cleared out most of the vines, and they began to attack the main body of the Invisibility Vine.

"..."

"You go find a place to hide."

Ji Yuan transmitted to Mu Xueyao, which implied he was ready to make a move.

"Okay, Brother Ji, be careful. This... This Old Demon Ji’s strength is truly formidable."

In Mu Xueyao’s view, fighting for so long without showing his true form meant that Old Demon Ji hadn’t used his full strength yet.

Could his strength not be strong?

"Don’t worry."

As Ji Yuan spoke, the Spirit-Devouring Bees had already flown out from the Spirit Beast Bag, landing on him one by one, forming a layer of close-fitting black and gold Treasure Armor.

The Spirit Devouring Armor consumes the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

When the Spirit Devouring Armor was fully donned, it meant that they couldn’t sense any Spiritual Qi on or around Ji Yuan, and without sensing Spiritual Qi, there was no aura.

The Spirit Devouring Armor gradually took form on him, while the Fire God Spear was virtually gripped in his hand.

In the distance, seeing Mu Xueyao hide inside a small single-story house, Ji Yuan didn’t wait any longer.

His Divine Sense enveloped the surroundings of Qingyue Building, his gaze seemed to pierce through countless mists, landing on the renowned Old Demon Ji.

"Chasing—Lightning—"

Ji Yuan uttered the words one by one.

And at the moment his voice fell, he vanished.

When his figure reappeared, he was already by Old Demon Ji’s right side, where the Fire God Spear shone red and struck fiercely.

The spearhead like a sea-piercing serpent charged forward.

"Ah—"

Nightmare True Monarch, although prepared for Ji Yuan, didn’t expect him to suddenly appear beside him with such speed... Miracle Treasure!

He reacted in a flash, but it seemed too late.

Under Ji Yuan’s Fire God Spear, the Protective Spirit Light around Nightmare True Monarch failed to hold for even an instant.

"Get lost!"

Nightmare True Monarch shouted, and a layer of flowing black blood appeared on his body surface.

When Ji Yuan’s Fire God Spear touched this black blood, it felt like it was stuck in a net, tightly entangled, unable to advance further. What’s more, the black blood behaved like a living creature, crawling up along the Fire God Spear.

...Truly worthy of being Old Demon Ji!
