238: Chapter 238 Instantly Killed!

"Die!!"

The Golden-robed Woman let out a sharp cry and slashed with her sword. She pushed her Purple Cloud Thundering Body to its limit; with a single strike, ten thousand lightning bolts followed. This was her innate Divine Ability, and the killing intent was overwhelming!

This power was terrifying and immense, its might comparable to a full-strength strike from a Cultivator at the first level of the Void Refinement Stage. It made all the Disciples of the Shuiyue Holy Land around the Martial Arts Field tense up, as they felt immense pressure.

Even Su Yuehe held her breath, becoming somewhat nervous.

She subconsciously struggled to stand up, wanting to retreat from the arena so as not to drag down Ji Taichang.

But just as Su Yuehe stood up, her legs suddenly went weak, and her body fell backward, landing once again in Ji Taichang's embrace.

Ji Taichang wrapped one arm around Su Yuehe's slender waist. Her entire body was pressed against him, and she could clearly feel his powerful heartbeat. A scent of mature masculinity washed over her, causing a faint blush to appear on Su Yuehe's face.

However, she couldn't care about the romantic atmosphere right now; instead, her pupils shrank sharply: "Be careful..."

Before the words could even leave her mouth, that lightning-wreathed Magic Treasure sword was already slashing toward Ji Taichang's head!

"Daring to be distracted while fighting me? You're dead!!"

A sinister grin appeared on the Golden-robed Woman's face, as if she could already see the scene of Ji Taichang's head being split open by her sword.

Bang!!

At this critical moment, Ji Taichang didn't even turn his head. He raised his left hand with lightning speed and grabbed the Magic Treasure sword attacking from behind his head!

Amidst the shocked gazes of the Golden-robed Woman and the many surrounding Cultivators, mysterious golden light swirled between Ji Taichang's fingers and palm. He forcibly crushed those terrifying bolts of lightning and Sword Qi, casually neutralizing the Golden-robed Woman's strike!

Catching a blade with bare hands!!

Not only that.

Ji Taichang gave the Magic Treasure sword a fierce yank. An astonishing Divine Power erupted, pulling the Golden-robed Woman until her body stumbled, and she flew uncontrollably toward Ji Taichang.

Holding Su Yuehe with one arm, Ji Taichang bent his knees slightly, then suddenly turned and delivered a flying kick!

Bang—

Ji Taichang's kick landed precisely on the Golden-robed Woman's abdomen, instantly causing her to spit out a large mouthful of blood. Her body arched like a cooked shrimp; her clothes shattered, and even the protective soft armor she wore underneath was kicked until it cracked. She flew sideways and slammed heavily into the arena's Barrier!

The Golden-robed Woman's body trembled as she struggled to stand up, but she spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

This indicated that she had been heavily injured; her wounds were extremely severe!

At this moment, the entire Martial Arts Field fell into a deathly silence, where even the drop of a needle could be heard!

One kick, and she was finished!!

"Junior Brother Ji, you... are this strong??"

Even Su Yuehe was stunned, her cherry lips wide open, as if she could fit a chicken egg inside.

Her watery, beautiful eyes stared blankly at Ji Taichang, and she felt her little head buzzing.

Su Yuehe had fought hundreds of rounds against the Golden-robed Woman and knew very well just how powerful and terrifying she was.

Precisely because of this, she was shocked that Ji Taichang could actually heavily injure the Golden-robed Woman with just one kick!

The surrounding Shuiyue Holy Land Cultivators were also stunned for a moment, followed by an uproar, erupting in cheers that sounded like a mountain landslide or a tsunami!

"Well done!!"

"As expected of Junior Brother Ji, as expected of someone praised by the Holy Lord as having the bearing of an Immortal! Too strong!"

"Hahaha, this is the price for bullying our Shuiyue Holy Land! Did they really think our Shuiyue Holy Land had no one?"

"Let's see you be arrogant now!"

"Well fought! Splendidly fought..."

Many Shuiyue Holy Land Cultivators were extremely excited, feeling that Ji Taichang's kick was very satisfying and had let them hold their heads high!

Even Perfected Qingxuan felt great waves in his heart, and he took a deep look at Ji Taichang.

"No... I don't believe it!! You must have secretly used the power of the Void Refinement Stage!"

"You are shameless! You cheated!"

The Golden-robed Woman clutched her already sunken abdomen, her face filled with expressions of disbelief and pain!

"Revered Master, say something!"

The Golden-robed Woman looked toward the mature, beautiful woman above the Martial Arts Field, her eyes filled with a glimmer of hope, wishing that the beautiful woman could confirm that Ji Taichang had cheated.

She did not believe that she, with her dignified Purple Cloud Thundering Body and Supreme-grade talent, had actually been one-shotted in a battle within the same Realm!!

This was simply impossible!

But the beautiful woman was staring intently at Ji Taichang, her eyes filled with surprise and astonishment, and she did not answer the Golden-robed Woman.

[Ding! Zhao Jiu's favorability has increased by 10 points. You can obtain 10% of the Liuren Demon King's cultivation/ability]

[Zhao Jiu's favorability: 10 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

Seeing that the beautiful woman did not answer, the Golden-robed Woman's heart suddenly sank!

Not answering was an answer in itself.

If Ji Taichang had used power surpassing the eighth level of the Soul Transformation Stage, it would absolutely not have escaped the beautiful woman's perception, and she would never have just pretended not to see it.

This meant...

The power of Ji Taichang's kick just now really was just what erupted from the eighth level of the Soul Transformation Stage!!

"No... I don't believe it!"

"How could I possibly fail!!"

The Golden-robed Woman's face twisted; she simply could not accept that she had been casually defeated by someone!

She immediately swallowed a blood-colored Medicinal Pill. Her eyes flashed with an eerie blood-red light, and a faint blood mist permeated her body. Her entire being's Qi and blood burned, and her cultivation aura suddenly surged by a large margin!

The Golden-robed Woman had originally been in a heavily injured state, struggling even to stand up.

But with the blood pill in her stomach, she felt as if a volcano was erupting inside her body, and endless power flooded her entire being!

"Go to hell—"

The Golden-robed Woman let out a sharp, angry roar, exerting all her strength to unleash the power of her Purple Cloud Thundering Body. Bolts of brilliant lightning intertwined, turning the entire arena into a sea of lightning; lightning flashed through the sky, and Sword Qi was chilling, all bombarding toward Ji Taichang!

This might and power were already completely comparable to a Cultivator at the first level of the Void Refinement Stage; it was extremely astonishing.

This was the strength of a Supreme-grade talent!

Unfortunately, the Golden-robed Woman did not realize at all what kind of terrifying monster she was facing!

Ji Taichang's long hair flew, his handsome face was incomparably cold, and his gaze was deep and indifferent, as if he were looking down at an ant; there were no waves in his heart.

He couldn't even be bothered to use a weapon or Magic Treasure, and kicked out once again!

Boom!!

Ji Taichang's seemingly plain kick, landing on the Golden-robed Woman's Magic Treasure sword, emitted a thunderous roar. A violent and terrifying power swept away all the lightning on the entire arena, and forcibly snapped that high-grade Magic Treasure sword!

The Golden-robed Woman was kicked flying by Ji Taichang once again, her body torn apart, almost exploding to death!

Had it not been for the protective Magic Treasure armor on her body being strong enough to absorb most of the damage for her, she would likely have died already!

"Stop—"

The beautiful woman's pupils suddenly shrank sharply!

She had just wanted to intervene, but it was already too late!!

Pfft!

The moment the Golden-robed Woman was kicked flying, Ji Taichang appeared behind her as if teleporting. One hand pierced through her abdomen from behind, forcibly crushing her Dantian!!
