68: Tai Yujie died

Upon hearing this, Huang Wanqiu also instantly understood Zuo Yan's meaning.

This Trial Grounds was specifically opened by the Sect, and it was impossible for those in the Purple Mansion Realm to enter.

Who knows how that deceased Purple Mansion Realm expert managed to get in!

Just as Zuo Yan said, if they didn't kill the Black Ape, this Secret Realm would truly become dangerous in the future.

At that thought, Huang Wanqiu was also filled with killing intent!

With the addition of two fresh forces, the pressure on the people of the Changsheng Sect instantly lessened, and each of them was brimming with killing intent.

Ji Wuchang once again pierced a Black Ape's throat with his sword. He scanned his surroundings and found that Xiao Fan still hadn't appeared.

"It shouldn't be. Someone like Xiao Fan should enjoy joining in on the excitement the most!"

Ji Wuchang was a bit puzzled, but he felt it was very likely that he had been too heavy-handed last time, and the other party might be healing!

Ji Wuchang's gaze swept over An Kecin and Tai Yujie, and he couldn't help but frown slightly, discovering that the two were actually not together.

Ji Wuchang remembered very clearly that in his previous life, An Kecin had been very protective of Tai Yujie.

He couldn't quite figure it out, but he felt that the relationship between the two was somewhat off.

However, for Ji Wuchang, this was an opportunity—an opportunity to kill Tai Yujie.

While Ji Wuchang struggled with the Black Apes, he observed the battlefield.

High in the sky, Zuo Yan and Huang Wanqiu joined forces, firmly suppressing that Black Ape; killing it should only be a matter of time.

Cai Ping displayed great Divine Might at this moment, killing several Black Apes in a row before engaging in a fierce fight with a Second-rank Black Ape.

However, this Second-rank Black Ape's cultivation was only equivalent to around the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, so it was being forced back step by step by Cai Ping.

But there were too many Black Apes, their numbers being about three times their own, which led to people from the Changsheng Sect falling from time to time.

Just then, Ji Wuchang saw Tai Yujie being besieged by one Second-rank Black Ape and two First-rank Black Apes, clearly at a disadvantage.

Ji Wuchang then saw that An Kecin was also entangled by a Second-rank Black Ape, and a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes!

"Heart-Treading Step!"

Ji Wuchang took a step toward Tai Yujie's direction.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream came from Tai Yujie's mouth. She felt as if her heart had shattered, and the pain made her let out a heart-wrenching cry!

Tai Yujie's cultivation was only at the second layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm; her true combat power was currently no match for Ji Wuchang's!

The moment Ji Wuchang executed the Heart-Treading Step, a crack appeared directly on her heart.

The sword strike Tai Yujie had aimed at the Black Ape naturally lost all its power.

The Second-rank Black Ape raised its massive palm and slammed it fiercely toward Tai Yujie's head.

Infinite terror appeared in Tai Yujie's eyes; she didn't even have the strength to take out her Jade Token.

"Senior Sister, save me!"

Tai Yujie let out a cry for help filled with terror and despair.

With a "bang," the Black Ape's massive palm slammed directly onto Tai Yujie's head, and her skull burst open like a watermelon!

"Third Junior Sister!"

Seeing this scene, Zeng Linghong went mad. He raised his longsword and killed several First-rank Black Apes in succession.

But just then, Zeng Linghong was also targeted by a Second-rank Black Ape and could only fight frantically with it.

Ji Wuchang watched all this coldly. With so many people witnessing Tai Yujie's death, no one knew he had tampered with things.

The 'Heart-Treading Step' was indeed terrifying, making it impossible to guard against!

Of course, if the opponent's cultivation was significantly higher than the user's, it could very likely trigger a backlash.

But with Ji Wuchang's current cultivation, using it against anyone below the fifth or sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm shouldn't be a problem.

"Third Junior Sister!"

An Kecin was also greatly shocked. Tai Yujie's death threw her mind into chaos; she felt that the memories of her past life that had appeared in her head might very well be fake.

According to her past life's memories, Tai Yujie shouldn't have died!

But Tai Yujie was dead, killed by the Black Ape, which completely contradicted her memories!

With a "bang," the Black Ape's massive palm sent An Kecin flying.

The chaos in her thoughts just now had prevented her from concentrating on the fight with the Black Ape.

An Kecin's face turned pale, and she opened her mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"Kill!"

An Kecin was furious. She raised the longsword in her hand, and a special deep-blue light blossomed on the blade, a terrifying killing intent emerging from it!

"Silent Extinction Gloomy Light Slash!"

An Kecin gave a light shout and slashed down. A gloomy light flashed and vanished, directly piercing through the Second-rank Black Ape's body!

The Second-rank Black Ape's body was like tofu, sliced into two pieces by An Kecin's single sword strike!

An Kecin's face was slightly pale, but a hint of joy appeared in her eyes!

Seeing this, Ji Wuchang's eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen a ghost.

The Silent Extinction Gloomy Light Slash was something An Kecin had obtained from a ruin after breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm.

Ji Wuchang had also obtained this technique from her Storage Ring after killing An Kecin later on.

But unfortunately, he was killed shortly after obtaining it, and he had used this move in a desperate attempt before his death.

This move was very powerful, but each time it was used, it required consuming about twenty percent of the spiritual power in the body to condense the Sword Qi into a single line for a one-hit kill!

Currently, An Kecin was only in the Foundation Establishment Realm; it was absolutely impossible for her to have mastered this move.

But since this impossible thing had happened, it could only mean one thing: An Kecin had also been reborn, or she had awakened her past life's memories!

At that thought, Ji Wuchang instantly felt a chill run down his spine!

At this moment, as he looked into An Kecin's eyes, his killing intent was almost tangible.

No matter the reason, An Kecin had to be killed as soon as possible, or she would likely bring him great trouble!

"Kill!"

Just then, Zuo Yan shouted, and with a single sword strike, he severed one of the Black Ape's massive arms.

Huang Wanqiu also gave a cold snort, and streaks of Sword Qi shot out from her longsword like raindrops, all striking the Black Ape's head.

A massive bloody hole appeared, and the Black Ape fell unwillingly!

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief! With the Black Ape leader killed, the remaining Black Apes fled back to the caves on both sides of the cliff.

In just a moment, all the living Black Apes vanished without a trace, leaving only blood and severed limbs scattered across the ground!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time; they were still alive.

During the battle just now, several people had also crushed their Jade Tokens and were teleported out.

On the ground, there were nearly twenty more corpses of Changsheng Sect Disciples, and as for Tai Yujie's body, it had already become a pile of mush!

Zeng Linghong buried Tai Yujie with tears in his eyes, and An Kecin stood by to help, a complex expression appearing on her face as she looked at Zeng Linghong!

This Second Junior Brother had always been a good person in the memories in her mind.

Perhaps thinking about how she hadn't treated Zeng Linghong very well in her previous life, a hint of guilt appeared in An Kecin's eyes!

"Second Junior Brother, if Third Junior Sister knows in the afterlife how much you care about her, she will surely be very comforted!"
