42: Ji Wuchang makes his appearance

Chen Boyu steeled his heart; he decided to fight another round, all for the sake of the Sect.

At this thought, Chen Boyu couldn't help but take out a Medicinal Pill, put it in his mouth, and swallow it.

This was an ordinary Origin Qi Pill, which could allow him to quickly recover the spiritual energy in his body!

Chen Boyu sensed the spiritual energy within him and shook his head again with a bitter smile; only about half of his Peak strength remained, which meant his power was greatly compromised.

He was already unable to perform terrifying Moves like the one just now.

On the Changsheng Sect's side, after the crowd finished cheering, they instantly fell silent.

They could see Chen Boyu's condition; it was impossible for him to fight another round!

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Ji Wuchang; he became the focus of the entire venue.

Among these gazes, ninety-nine percent of them did not think highly of Ji Wuchang.

To let someone at the seventh level of Qi Refining deal with one at the eighth level, plus the strongest one at the ninth level of Qi Refining—they all felt this was an impossible task.

“Senior Sister, we won't have to take action now; someone is going to help us teach this guy who doesn't know the height of the heavens a lesson!”

Tai Yujie leaned toward An Kecin with an excited face, muttering in a low voice!

An Kecin had a smile on her lips, then spoke with a slight note of reproach: “Junior Sister, there are many people here; be careful not to be overheard.”

“After all, this is a competition between two Sects; it wouldn't be good if someone heard you!”

Hearing this, Tai Yujie couldn't help but stick out her tongue, her face full of schadenfreude!

She was full of anticipation for the upcoming match!

She very much hoped to see Ji Wuchang beaten until he was looking for his teeth on the ground!

A cold gleam flashed in An Kecin's eyes; ever since this Junior Brother arrived, she felt that her weight as the Eldest Senior Sister in her Revered Master's heart was becoming lower and lower.

But within the Sect, she couldn't just strike out at will; otherwise, once discovered, the punishment would be severe.

Now that there was finally a good show to watch, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

As for the consequences of losing the Sect competition, An Kecin had never even considered them!

“Eldest Senior Sister, do you think we can still turn things around?”

Huang Wanqiu looked at Zhen Miaoqing beside her, a trace of worry appearing in her eyes!

Zhen Miaoqing smiled slightly, then spoke: “Junior Sister Wanqiu, nothing is absolute. Isn't the competition still ongoing? Perhaps there will be a surprise!”

Hearing Zhen Miaoqing's words, Huang Wanqiu's gaze couldn't help but sweep over Chen Boyu and Ji Wuchang, finally landing on Ji Wuchang, but her eyes revealed a look of suspicion!

Although Ji Wuchang had given her quite a shock in Wind and Thunder Valley, that didn't necessarily mean his combat power was that formidable!

Just then, Ji Wuchang moved; with a leap, he arrived upon the competition stage!

“Senior Brother Chen, you should go down and heal your injuries; leave this place to me!”

Hearing Ji Wuchang's words, Chen Boyu frowned slightly, then spoke: “Junior Brother Ji, let me fight one more round!”

Hearing Chen Boyu's words, Ji Wuchang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, then said: “Senior Brother Chen, your meridians are injured; if you keep fighting, the consequences will be very serious!”

Ji Wuchang understood the horror of meridian injuries best; they had accompanied him for his entire previous life until he was killed.

Hearing Ji Wuchang's words, Chen Boyu's face couldn't help but turn slightly pale!

He had originally wanted to persist, but seeing Ji Wuchang's calm gaze, he couldn't help but nod.

His current injuries would be no problem after just a few days of recuperation, but if he continued to fight, the consequences would be dire!

“Junior Brother Ji, be careful! If we lose this time, the responsibility isn't yours; it lies with us!”

Chen Boyu spoke to Ji Wuchang with a smile, then left the competition stage.

Ji Wuchang watched Chen Boyu's back and narrowed his eyes slightly; he understood the meaning of Chen Boyu's words—he was taking the responsibility onto himself and the others in advance.

A surge of warmth couldn't help but rise in Ji Wuchang's heart.

In a large forest, there are all kinds of birds!

Although there were some bastards in the Changsheng Sect, there was also a group of people with pure Dao Hearts; these people were the true pillars of the Changsheng Sect!

At this moment, over at the Elders' seats, the most nervous person was Meng Caihong!

Although she had gained some understanding of Ji Wuchang's combat power, she was still very worried now that it was actually time for him to take the stage.

“Sect Leader Zhen, you are going to lose this round!”

Zhao Sandao spoke with a smile.

Although Zhen Yaotian thought so in his heart, he naturally wouldn't admit defeat verbally, replying with a smile: “That's not necessarily certain!”

Zhao Sandao didn't expose Zhen Yaotian's lack of confidence, merely nodding toward Jin Enting and Liu Yongzhan below.

“Senior Brother Jin, there's no need for you to take the stage; I'll go settle him!”

Liu Yongzhan spoke to Jin Enting, a trace of contempt appearing in his eyes.

A mere seventh level of the Qi Refining realm dares to stand on the competition stage; it seems the Changsheng Sect is truly out of people.

“Don't underestimate the enemy!”

Jin Enting glanced at Ji Wuchang and spoke to Liu Yongzhan.

Liu Yongzhan nodded, then with a leap, he landed directly on the competition stage!

“Liu Yongzhan of the Great Blade Pavilion! Please advise!”

Ji Wuchang looked at Liu Yongzhan with a calm expression, sensing the surging power of blood and Qi within the other's body; he was a bit stronger than the Li Jiwen he had defeated yesterday!

But so what? With his current Physical Body strength, even someone at the Peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining might not be able to stop him!

“Ji Wuchang! Make your Move!”

Liu Yongzhan spoke calmly! Then he took out his long blade!

Ji Wuchang did not take out a long sword, but was instead empty-handed.

His strongest combat power was inherently his Physical Body; both Thunder Exploding Punch and Wind and Thunder Fist were fist techniques. Taking out a long sword would instead limit the display of his strength!

Seeing the empty-handed Ji Wuchang, Liu Yongzhan couldn't help but frown slightly.

But Liu Yongzhan didn't care; with a loud shout, he raised the long blade in his hand, the spiritual energy in his body surging wildly as he slashed down at Ji Wuchang.

The cold blade light transformed into several blade shadows that interlaced, extending directly into several meters of blade light heading straight for Ji Wuchang!

As this blade strike was unleashed, the onlookers instantly held their breath.

The faces of Duan Junsheng, Fan Huajun, and Huang Guangwen all changed slightly at the same time, because this strike was almost no weaker than their own attacks.

Meng Caihong clenched her fists, her body tensed straight; once Ji Wuchang was in danger, she would not hesitate to fly out and save him.

Joy appeared on the faces of An Kecin and Tai Yujie simultaneously.

If Ji Wuchang couldn't even handle this one Move, that would be laughable.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Ji Wuchang, even Zhen Yaotian's.

Just as the blade light was less than a foot from the top of Ji Wuchang's head, he moved, and his body instantly vanished.

The eyes of all the Changsheng Sect's Elders lit up; Ji Wuchang's speed just now was very fast.

What Ji Wuchang performed was naturally the Eight Trigrams Wandering Dragon Step, which was most suitable for use in a relatively narrow place like a competition stage.

By now, Ji Wuchang had arrived behind Liu Yongzhan; he clenched his right hand into a fist and threw a punch directly.

Liu Yongzhan was naturally someone with rich combat experience as well; the moment Ji Wuchang vanished, he felt that something was wrong.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took a step forward, while at the same time, the long blade in his hand whirled around to slash behind him.
