391: Chapter 391 A Small Test of Skill

"Clang—"

Qin Shishi drew a precious sword and slashed at Tang Chuan with a single stroke.

It was the first time she had fought in front of Ji Taichang, and in order not to disappoint the Young Master, she pushed the power of her Mystic Yin Physique to the limit, unleashing an ice-blue Sword Qi!

"Bang!!"

Amidst the shocked gazes of the many Cultivators, Qin Shishi's sword strike cleaved through the sky-filling branches and blue vines with overwhelming force, and even Tang Chuan's body exploded upon impact, turning into a mist of blood.

One-shotted with a single strike!!

"Damn, Big Brother!!"

"You dare to kill our Young Master of the Lu family? You're dead meat!!"

Seeing this, the surrounding Lu family Disciples let out a sorrowful cry and glared viciously at Qin Shishi!

In Leiming City, the Cultivators from various factions were instantly in an uproar.

"Wasn't it said that Tang Chuan was a once-in-a-millennium Genius of the Lu family? Is that it??"

"Not only does this young man possess astonishing pupil techniques, but even the maid by his side has a cultivation level at the ninth stage of the Earth Immortal Realm. Incredible!!"

"Why do I feel like that sword strike of hers just now contained a very powerful, special Immortal power?"

The crowd discussed it amongst themselves.

The Cultivators from the Lu family side, however, had faces as black as coal, their eyes filled with rage!

"So weak?"

Even Qin Shishi was taken aback, her expression one of astonishment.

Tang Chuan was, after all, at the seventh stage of the Earth Immortal Realm; surely a normal seventh-stage Earth Immortal Cultivator wouldn't be one-shotted by her, right?

Qin Shishi's words spread, making the faces of the Lu family Cultivators even darker, like the bottom of a pot.

"There's no mistake, that sword strike just now contained Mysterious Yin Qi!!"

"This girl has incredible talent!!"

Only Feng Zizhen had bright eyes, filled with admiration and joy.

He had originally thought that Ji Taichang, with his special pupil techniques, was already rare enough, but he hadn't expected that the maid beside Ji Taichang would also be a Genius!

With such a Prodigy joining the Benlei Sect, why worry about the Benlei Sect not flourishing?

"You killed Big Brother Tang, the Lu family won't let you off!!"

"Just you wait!!"

Those few Lu family Disciples spouted threats while quickly slipping away, running as fast as they could.

Since even someone as strong as Tang Chuan was one-shotted by Qin Shishi, they naturally knew they were no match for her.

Qin Shishi's gaze turned cold, and she immediately raised her sword to pursue them!

However, the seven Lu family Disciples all fled in different directions; no matter how strong Qin Shishi was, she could only pursue two or three of them.

Seeing that the remaining four were about to escape.

Ji Taichang waved his hand, and as Immortal power flowed through his body, four streaks of Sword Qi shot out like lightning. They flashed through the air and vanished in an instant, so fast that the four Lu family Disciples couldn't even react before their bodies suddenly exploded, turning into mists of blood.

"Hiss! That display of Sword Qi is not simple!!"

"I knew it! A person who possesses such powerful pupil techniques and has a Prodigy as a maid, how could he be weak??"

"The Lu family is truly unlucky. Those seven were all elite Disciples of the Lu family, right? They died for nothing..."

In Leiming City, the many Cultivators discussed it animatedly, watching the show like spectators.

The Lu family members were so angry their faces turned green, and they gritted their teeth and roared: "These two damned little beasts!!"

"Elder Feng Zizhen, they violated the rules!! My Lu family Disciples had already retreated and were no longer competing for the leiming token, yet they hunted them down to the last; this is against the rules!!"

"I ask Elder Feng Zizhen to punish them and strip them of their qualifications to participate in the Disciple Recruitment Assembly!!"

The Lu family members were furious and protested one after another to Feng Zizhen.

But Feng Zizhen merely stroked his beard and shook his head: "The Lu family Disciples attacked to seize the leiming token, so the outbreak of battle between the two sides was compliant with the rules. Although they tried to flee, they didn't get away, so the battle had not ended. It does not count as a violation of the rules."

Feng Zizhen delivered the final verdict.

Although the Lu family members were still very dissatisfied, it was of no use.

Qin Shishi quickly finished off the other three Lu family Disciples and returned to Ji Taichang's side.

"Well done."

Ji Taichang smiled and ruffled Qin Shishi's hair.

Although Qin Shishi knew that there was still a huge gap between herself and Ji Taichang.

But being able to help Ji Taichang and receive his praise made her very happy; she giggled "hehe" and happily hugged Ji Taichang's arm.

After casually collecting the leiming token from the tree, the two continued forward, sweeping up leiming tokens along the way.

Ji Taichang shared half of the harvested leiming tokens with Qin Shishi.

Even so, the number of leiming tokens they possessed was still leading by a wide margin!!

"Roar!!"

Just then, a thunderous beast roar came from a mountain peak ahead. The vast earth trembled, ancient trees shook, and rocks tumbled down as if a major earthquake had occurred.

It was a Yao Beast standing ten zhang tall, crimson red all over, resembling both a tiger and a leopard. It had a pair of horns on its head and ferocious barbs at its joints, its Aura fierce and malevolent.

The Demonic Qi radiating from its body was extremely powerful and oppressive; it was unmistakably a Crimson Strange Beast with cultivation at the third stage of the True Immortal Realm!!

Around the Crimson Strange Beast's neck hung a collar, bound with dense clusters of leiming tokens; at a glance, there were at least a thousand of them!!

The number of leiming tokens was very tempting, but the strength of this Yao Beast was too terrifying; it was truly not something an ordinary person could covet.

At this moment, the Crimson Strange Beast was engaged in a fierce battle with a Human Race Cultivator, and two formidable powers were constantly colliding, shaking the surroundings.

It was a woman wearing a light purple gauze dress, her face covered by a veil, but her proud figure was enough to catch the eye, with astonishing proportions.

She was none other than Luo Yulian, who was rated as one of the ten great beauties of the Liefeng Immortal Prefecture.

Luo Yulian was very strong.

But the Crimson Strange Beast was no ordinary Yao Beast; it was said to possess the Bloodline of an ancient remnant race, and its combat power at the same Realm was enough to rival a Human Race Prodigy, not to mention that the Crimson Strange Beast's cultivation was two minor stages higher than Luo Yulian's.

After just a few collisions, blood spilled from the corner of Luo Yulian's mouth, and she was heavily injured.

She immediately changed her strategy, employing an exquisite movement technique. Clones appeared everywhere, circling the Crimson Strange Beast, and she no longer confronted it head-on.

"Young Master, the Crimson Strange Beast has so many leiming tokens on it!!"

Qin Shishi's eyes lit up slightly.

"Let's go."

Ji Taichang and Qin Shishi strode toward the Crimson Strange Beast.

"Are those two going to challenge the Crimson Strange Beast?!"

"Even Luo Yulian is no match for it, and they only have Earth Immortal Realm cultivation; isn't this just going over to throw their lives away?!"

"If it were a first-stage True Immortal Realm Yao Beast, the two of them might have a glimmer of hope if they teamed up, but this is a third-stage True Immortal Realm Crimson Strange Beast; how could they possibly defeat it?!"

"Young people are still too young..."

In Leiming City, after seeing this scene, many Cultivators all revealed expressions of surprise, and none of them were optimistic about Ji Taichang and Qin Shishi.

There is a huge chasm between the True Immortal Realm and the Earth Immortal Realm; even top Geniuses find it very difficult to cross!!

Ji Taichang and Qin Shishi had just displayed extraordinary strength, but they had only dealt with Earth Immortal Realm Lu family Disciples.

Even Feng Zizhen's smile faded; his expression became a bit more serious as he stared unblinkingly at the light screen.

"Roar!!"

The Crimson Strange Beast launched a storm-like attack on Luo Yulian, but she dodged all of them, and it failed to land a hit, its eyes becoming increasingly manic.

At this moment, seeing two more Human Race Cultivators who didn't know whether to live or die approaching, it let out an earth-shattering roar and slammed a claw down fiercely toward Ji Taichang and Qin Shishi!
