392: Chapter 392 Battle with Luo Yulian

Facing the violent attack of the Chiqi Beast, Ji Taichang and Qin Shishi retreated rapidly, causing the Chiqi Beast to miss its strike. It slammed into the ground, creating a deep pit, shattering giant rocks, and kicking up a cloud of dust.

This was Qin Shishi's first time battling a True Immortal Realm level Yao Beast, so she dared not be careless in the slightest.

She took a deep breath, formed a hand seal, and fully activated her Mystic Yin Physique. Her entire being radiated a startling chill, and the air constantly emitted "crackling" sounds, causing the Chiqi Beast's movements to become sluggish as it was briefly frozen.

Ji Taichang, meanwhile, suddenly accelerated, heading straight for the leiming token on the Chiqi Beast's neck!

Seeing this, Luo Yulian's gaze turned cold.

Her movement technique was extremely profound; she appeared before Ji Taichang like a ghost, immortal power flowing between her fingers and palms as she struck out with a palm.

This palm strike seemed light and airy, lacking any fierce Aura, but it was a manifestation of Luo Yulian controlling her immortal power to the extreme; every bit of immortal power was utilized within the Cultivation Technique Move, with not the slightest bit leaking out.

Bang!!

Ji Taichang raised his hand to meet her palm, and it actually produced a sound like a thunderclap. Startling shockwaves spread continuously, and immortal power surged.

Under the stunned gazes of the Cultivators from various forces in Leiming City.

Luo Yulian was actually forced back five or six steps by Ji Taichang's palm strike. She let out a muffled groan, her face turned somewhat pale, and her blood energy surged.

Conversely, Ji Taichang stood proudly in place, not retreating a single step!

"This... how is this possible!!"

"An Earth Immortal Realm cultivation, forcing back a True Immortal Realm Genius from the Luo family with one palm?!"

"Am I hallucinating?"

Many Cultivators couldn't help but exclaim. This scene was simply too explosive!

"No, it's entirely possible!"

An older generation Cultivator's eyes flashed as he calmly analyzed: "Although Luo Yulian is a Prodigy famous throughout Liefeng Immortal Prefecture, her greatest strength lies in Divine Ability and techniques, while her Physical Body is relatively weak; it is not her strong suit."

"If this person is a Body Cultivator, it is entirely possible for him to force Luo Yulian back with a single palm strike while at the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm!"

A Cultivator asked suspiciously: "That doesn't seem right, does it? Aren't all Body Cultivators muscular men? This person looks refined and scholarly; he doesn't look like one at all."

"Besides, he just used a bit of Sword Qi to instantly kill four geniuses from the Lu family; isn't that the path of Divine Ability and techniques?"

"Who knows, perhaps this person cultivates both the body and the path of techniques..."

The crowd discussed heatedly, their gazes toward Ji Taichang becoming increasingly amazed.

Luo Yulian shook her left hand, which was numb to the point of near-insensitivity. Her beautiful face carried a trace of shock and gravity.

[Ding! Luo Yulian favorability increased by 5 points]

[Luo Yulian favorability: 5 (There is a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

She took a deep breath, her gaze cold and sharp. She immediately waved her fair hand, and eighteen cyan Flying Swords appeared around her, all flashing with dazzling lightning. The Sword Qi hummed, and they slashed toward Ji Taichang like a torrential downpour!

Ji Taichang moved his hands, manifesting the stance of Yin and Yang Taiji. A faint cyan radiance flickered on his body, and the power of the Creation Green Lotus Dao Seed was activated, forming an invisible vortex.

The cyan Flying Swords attacking from the sky trembled violently, and they actually began to rotate uncontrollably, circling around Ji Taichang.

Luo Yulian's pupils contracted sharply!

Her reaction speed was very fast. She changed the seal in her hands, and in an instant, a dense vapor appeared out of thin air, transforming into an Azure Dragon phantom. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, aggressive and fierce, as it bit down toward Ji Taichang!

Ji Taichang also changed his Move accordingly. The powerful vortex carried the eighteen Flying Swords, rushing into the sky to collide violently with the Azure Dragon phantom, the roaring sound unending.

This scene left the Cultivators of all forces in Leiming City dumbfounded.

"This person can actually challenge Luo Yulian across stages, and he isn't at a disadvantage at all!?"

"Luo Yulian is a Prodigy famous throughout Liefeng Immortal Prefecture; usually, it's only she who challenges others across stages. To think there is someone who can challenge her across stages—what level of Prodigy must one be to achieve this?"

"This world is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

"No, no, why is it that he has attacked so many times, and I still cannot see through his true cultivation level?"

"The Benlei Sect has really found a treasure!"

"Damn it, why isn't such a powerful Genius from our sect..."

More and more Cultivators were attracted by Ji Taichang, discussing heatedly; the scene was noisy.

Even Feng Zizhen had a face full of smiles, feeling more and more satisfied the more he looked at Ji Taichang!

But just as Ji Taichang and Luo Yulian were engaged in a fierce battle, Qin Shishi's face turned red from holding back: "Young Master, I... I can't hold it anymore!"

Boom! Crimson flames ignited on the Chiqi Beast, erupting violently and sweeping away the Mystic Yin Physique energy that had shrouded it!

It revealed its ferocity, swiping a claw at Luo Yulian, while its long, slender tail whipped around like a meteor hammer, emitting a harsh whistling sound as it smashed fiercely toward Ji Taichang.

It also opened its bloody maw and spat a beam of intense flames toward Qin Shishi!

Luo Yulian's hair stood on end. Although she used her movement technique to dodge at the first opportunity, she still couldn't avoid it completely. She was sent flying, a bleeding wound appeared on her waist, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Ji Taichang, however, had eyes that glowed slightly; as if he had foreseen the future, the moment the Chiqi Beast broke free from control, he retreated, calmly avoiding the strike. The difference in skill was immediately apparent!

Qin Shishi also wanted to dodge, but the range of the flames spat by the Chiqi Beast was too large, and she couldn't escape. She could only use the innate Divine Ability of her Mystic Yin Physique with all her might, condensing a huge ice shield in front of her.

The startling flames continuously melted the ice shield, and it looked like Qin Shishi was about to be injured.

At this critical moment, Ji Taichang flashed and appeared beside her, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and taking her out of the flame's range.

Ji Taichang's performance was too shocking, provoking the killing intent of the Chiqi Beast!

The Chiqi Beast immediately locked onto Ji Taichang. Its massive body moved with extreme speed, and in the blink of an eye, it lunged in front of Ji Taichang and bit down!

Ji Taichang was just about to dodge. But a vapor silently spread up from beneath his feet, binding his feet!

Not far away, Luo Yulian had quietly formed a seal with her hands, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of cunning and smugness.

Seeing that the Chiqi Beast had already arrived before him, Ji Taichang had no time to dodge.

Just when Luo Yulian and the various Cultivators in Leiming City thought Ji Taichang was about to be unlucky.

Thump!!

Ji Taichang suddenly clenched his fist, his surging blood energy erupting. As his immortal power flowed, he smashed a punch fiercely into the Chiqi Beast's chin!!

Accompanied by a dull thud, like the beating of a war drum.

Under the stunned gazes of Luo Yulian and the Cultivators of various forces in Leiming City, the Chiqi Beast's chin actually caved in, its face twisted, and it spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with teeth. Its massive body was forced to retreat continuously by Ji Taichang's punch!

Just as Luo Yulian's gaze was dull with shock, she suddenly discovered that Ji Taichang was gone.

"?!"

Luo Yulian's hair stood on end. Before she could react, a large hand had already grabbed her waist, lifting her into the air, while the other hand slapped fiercely onto her shapely backside!

Slap!!
