Chapter 346: Chapter 227: The Blood Refining Array, The Disappearance of Ji Nanjue!_4
"Ji Nanjue, this day next year will be your death anniversary, so we have come specially today to see you off!"
With an expressionless face, Ji Nanjue scoffed coldly and said indifferently,
"There may be someone in this world who could say such a thing to me, but definitely not the likes of you."
"How dare you, skulking figures too cowardly to show your true faces, stand before me!?"
Laughing loudly, a man in black standing behind Ji Nanjue mocked,
"Ji Nanjue, have you not realized your situation?"
"This time we have deployed one hundred and eight cultivators, each of them above the Mid Stage Refining Void."
"Let’s be frank, this formation is the Blood Refining array. Presumably, we don’t need to elaborate too much; in front of this array, everything follows the general trend. Do you, Ji Nanjue, truly think you can resist it alone? It is like an ant trying to stop a chariot, sheer folly."
"Even Shangguan Bieli failed to do so thousands of years ago, do you still delude yourself into thinking you can fight your way out alive?"
"..."
Ji Nanjue remained silent.
Of course, she was aware of the Blood Refining array; the suppressed Spiritual Energy in her body had already attested that their words were true. She just couldn’t comprehend. It was known that setting up the Blood Refining array would take at least half a month, with Blood Refining Stones buried at seventy-two locations, each targeting one person within the formation.
Could it be that since she entered the Sacred Land, these people had been laying out the array in secret? Just to single her out specifically!? For what exact reason?
Standing to the right of Ji Nanjue was a gaunt man with an exceptionally powerful aura and even darker Evil Qi around him, as if he ruled between heaven and earth, a demon in his own right.
He spoke slowly, his voice echoing throughout the world,
"Ji Nanjue, if you had waited a few days and returned to Luo City with the group, it wouldn’t have been so simple to kill you."
"Who would have thought you’d be so bold as to leave the city alone, courting death so hastily that not even Heaven could save you!"
Ji Nanjue took a deep breath. The reason she was bantering with them was to look for any possible loopholes.
"I suppose the Sect Disciples who often mysteriously disappear in the ten Dongfeng states are your victims, aren’t they?"
"Who gave you the audacity to appear in the Sacred Land?"
The gaunt man seemed to have sensed her intentions and snorted coldly.
In the next instant, a terrifying wave of Evil Qi coalesced into a Giant Palm and slammed in the direction of Ji Nanjue,
"Eastern Emperor, farewell!!"
BOOM—
The terrifying Evil Qi dissipated across the sky.
A phoenix’s cry rang out, and then streams of bone-chillingly cold Spiritual Energy instantly erupted, pervading the space between heaven and earth.
An endless chill!
The ultimate Yin!
Biting her teeth tightly, Ji Nanjue waved her hand, and feathers of the phoenix filled the sky.
"Snowfall."
...
Su Beitong and Dan Wulan returned to the Sword Sect’s residence as the sun set in the west.
Upon entering Wu City, just by walking on the road, one could hear all sorts of discussions,
"Good heavens! The Dao Sect is terrifying!"
"It’s not the Dao Sect that’s terrifying, it’s Elder Tong Xi who’s frightening. Even Master Fa Jiang of the Buddha Gate couldn’t withstand ten moves from him!"
"The grand trend of Heaven and Earth! Speaking of which, he has truly achieved Dao Integration. Master Fa Jiang is said to have faced the Heavenly Tribulation twice, but still hasn’t..."
"If Master Fa Jiang hadn’t encountered Tong Xiu, he would definitely have been the first on the Ascension Platform this time! Another Dao Integration practitioner from the Dao Sect couldn’t even last an hour!"
"The Dao Sect still has two Elders left, and one at the Peak Refining Void!"
"Tomorrow in the Sword Sect... there will only be Elder Su left, right?"
"You say... If Elder Su could defeat Lin Duo, is there a chance..."
"There’s no chance at all, Lin Duo and Tong Xiu are simply on two different levels!!"
