344: Preparation

Inside a room in the inn, a dim oil lamp made the entire space appear extremely dark.

Ji Wuchang and the Old Academy Head sat opposite each other, neither of them speaking.

When they had gone out just now, Divine Souls had swept over them along the way. Although it was done quite covertly, how could it possibly be hidden from them?

Perhaps they hadn't even thought about concealment, following them so brazenly.

At this moment, at least dozens of figures were hiding in the shadows around the inn.

"Wuchang, when they strike later, I will intercept everyone above the fifth level of the Six Gods Realm. Are you confident against those below the fifth level of the Six Gods Realm?"

The Old Academy Head's expression was calm, but a piercing killing intent flickered in his eyes.

Although tonight was not a night of the full moon, the moon was already close to being full.

Presumably, Bai Chongguang had spread the word that the Old Academy Head was unsuited for combat on a full moon night, which was why they were so unscrupulous.

"Academy Head, your body..."

Before Ji Wuchang could finish, he was interrupted by the Old Academy Head, who said with a smile, "No matter, I can currently exert the strength of the fifth level of the Dao Severing Realm!"

"As long as I don't give it my absolute all, there shouldn't be any problems!"

Hearing this, Ji Wuchang couldn't help but nod, killing intent also flashing in his eyes.

He understood the intentions of this group. After tomorrow's Dao Discussion Competition, he would very likely join another Sect in Heavenly Star Province.

Once that happened, they would completely lose the chance to kill him.

Since that was the case, he would settle the score tonight and kill them until their hearts turned cold with fear!

Killing intent blazed in Ji Wuchang's eyes. Ever since he had a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm and opened ten dao platforms, he had been targeted by the Demonic Path's First-Grade Hall!

Following that were all sorts of endless schemes and multiple assassination attempts.

Ji Wuchang swore in his heart that once he had enough strength, he would wipe out the Demonic Path's First-Grade Hall once and for all!

"Academy Head, don't worry about me later. If my presence disappears, don't pay it any mind; I have my own ways of staying alive!"

Ji Wuchang was afraid the Academy Head would be distracted later, so he gave him a heads-up in advance.

The Academy Head was slightly stunned upon hearing this, but he still nodded.

Ji Wuchang checked the System panel. When he saw 'Unused Cultivation: 49 Years' written on it, his eyes lit up; it was time to use it.

This cultivation was what he had accumulated from signing in at Xinglong City recently!

"System, use ten years of cultivation to Cultivate the Purple Qi Burning Heaven Art!"

[Ding! Host has Cultivated for three years. Cultivation Breakthrough, reaching the third level of the Purple Mansion Realm!]

[Host has Cultivated for seven years. Cultivation Breakthrough, reaching the fourth level of the Purple Mansion Realm!]

[Host has Cultivated for ten years. Cultivation has progressed, approaching the Great Perfection of the fourth level of the Purple Mansion Realm!]

The System's voice rang out, and then a massive surge of spiritual power flooded into his body. His cultivation level instantly skyrocketed.

In just a moment, his cultivation rose directly from the second level of the Purple Mansion Realm to the fourth level.

At this moment, Ji Wuchang felt that his strength was more than twice as powerful as it was just now.

If it weren't for the fear of affecting his Foundation, he could have used all his cultivation on the Purple Qi Burning Heaven Art and reaching the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Realm wouldn't be a problem.

The Academy Head was very surprised to feel Ji Wuchang's successive cultivation Breakthroughs and gave him a deep, meaningful look.

After Ji Wuchang finished absorbing all the spiritual power and insights, he opened his eyes, which were flashing with brilliant light.

"System, use ten years of cultivation to Cultivate the fourth step of Heart-Treading Step!"

[Ding! Host has Cultivated for ten years. The fourth step of Heart-Treading Step has reached Great Perfection!]

A majestic surge of insights flooded into Ji Wuchang's mind, and he closed his eyes again to digest them!

This time, in less than half an incense stick's time, Ji Wuchang had finished digesting all the insights.

Once the fourth step of Heart-Treading Step was unleashed, even those in the Six Gods Realm would have their hands full.

"System, use cultivation to Cultivate the third and fourth moves of Wind and Thunder Fist until they reach Great Perfection!"

[Ding! Host has Cultivated for nine years. The third move of Wind and Thunder Fist, Thunder Dragon Shakes the Nine Heavens, has reached Great Perfection!]

[Host has Cultivated for twenty years. The fourth move of Wind and Thunder Fist, Thunder Purgatory, has reached Great Perfection!]

The System's voice rang out again, and an even more massive surge of insights flooded into Ji Wuchang's mind. The power of lightning began to permeate his body.

Ji Wuchang focused all his efforts on absorbing the various insights.

As the saying goes, sharpening one's spear just before battle may not make it perfect, but it will make it shine!

Although he was sharpening his spear at the last minute, it wasn't for show; what he was honing were killing techniques.

These were his top killing moves, the preparations he was making for himself.

By the time all the insights were fully digested, Ji Wuchang looked completely different, like a sharp sword drawn from its scabbard!

He pulled out a card; it was the Supreme Summoning Card. He had been hesitating about whether to use it.

But at this moment, he made up his mind and decided to test the effect of this Supreme Summoning Card.

Having made his decision, he no longer hesitated and directly crushed the card!

[Ding! Supreme Summoning Card used successfully. Supreme expert matched successfully!]

[Ninth Elder of the Tianyuan Sect, Fu Yanjie, has been successfully bound. Cultivation: Fourth level of the Six Gods Realm. Currently en route, estimated arrival in half an incense stick's time!]

The System's voice rang out, and Ji Wuchang felt it was quite miraculous.

Fortunately, the one summoned this time was still a Six Gods Realm expert and not someone from the Soul Splitting Realm; Ji Wuchang felt somewhat consoled.

However, a fourth-level Six Gods Realm expert couldn't change the course of tonight's battle.

Looking at the final remaining nine years of unused cultivation, Ji Wuchang temporarily gave up on using it, saving it for a rainy day!

As the sound of the night watchman's clapper rang out from outside, Ji Wuchang knew it was already the Hour of the Pig, and this group of people was about to lose their patience and strike.

Just then, several powerful auras flew in from the distance. These people were all dressed in black, with everything covered except for a pair of cold eyes.

There were four of these black-clad people in total, and all of them exuded a terrifying pressure.

This pressure far exceeded the Six Gods Realm; they were all actually Dao Severing Realm experts!

"Old fellow from Yunchuan Academy, if you don't want us to cause a massacre, come out and accept your death!"

"Otherwise, once we strike, everyone in this entire inn will lose their lives!"

Just then, a cold voice rang out, coming from one of the four black-clad individuals.

The Old Academy Head slowly opened his eyes, a solemn look appearing in them. He hadn't expected the opponent to dispatch four Dao Severing Realm experts all at once.

"Wuchang, be careful!"

The Old Academy Head gave Ji Wuchang a word of caution. The gentleness in his eyes gradually vanished, replaced by a chilling killing intent!

Among those who could Cultivate to his level, which one hadn't stained their hands with the blood of countless people?

The Old Academy Head hadn't fought to kill in a long time. Today was a good day to kill some people to celebrate his new lease on life.

His body blurred and he vanished instantly. When he reappeared, he was already in mid-air, standing opposite the four black-clad men with an exceptionally cold gaze!

After the four black-clad men sensed the terrifying aura on the Old Academy Head, solemn expressions couldn't help but appear in their eyes as well.
