Chapter 38: Chapter 38: One Against Three, Killing Two in Succession
Seeing the three people in front of him, Ji Haoyuan’s gaze immediately fell on Han Pengshan among them, his lips curling into a slightly mocking arc.
"I wondered who it was, turns out it’s you, a defeated subjugate.
What? The lesson from last time wasn’t deep enough? You actually dare appear before me again. Do you really think I won’t dare to kill you?"
As he spoke, the mocking tone on Ji Haoyuan’s lips became even more pronounced.
This instantly made Han Pengshan furious, his gaze turning icy cold.
"Ji Haoyuan, don’t think that just because you lucked out last time, today will be the same.
Brother Zhu, Brother Wei, let’s go together!"
With his words, the six black sharp blades that had previously appeared in front of Ji Haoyuan, once again appeared beneath Han Pengshan’s feet.
However, this time, the six black sharp blades seemed even sharper than before.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Six sonic booms suddenly echoed in the air.
The six black sharp blades attacked Ji Haoyuan from six different directions simultaneously.
Meanwhile, the black-robed man referred to as Brother Zhu, and the blue-robed man referred to as Brother Wei, exchanged glances and immediately sprang into action.
A dark golden scythe appeared in front of the black-robed man.
As the blade vibrated, numerous dark golden knife shadows appeared out of nowhere in front of Ji Haoyuan.
Vaguely, they seemed to obstruct and hinder his Divine Sense.
Looking at the blue-robed man, he directly pulled out a long flute from his body.
Placed it to his lips and lightly blew.
"Moo..."
Immediately, a sound intent on piercing one’s eardrum rushed towards Ji Haoyuan.
Ji Haoyuan felt a wave of discomfort in his chest, wanting to retch.
But soon, the magical power of the Profound Fire and Earth Technique surged through his body.
All discomfort vanished instantly.
At the same time.
Ji Haoyuan summoned a spiritual artifact round shield.
Only heard a series of crisp sounds.
Han Pengshan’s six black sharp blades collided against the round shield, causing only slight ripples, unable to break through the defense.
"Ji Haoyuan, you..."
Seeing his former spiritual artifact used by Ji Haoyuan to block his attack, Han Pengshan’s eyes instantly widened in fury.
But before his anger could last long, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Ji Haoyuan, after using the round shield to block his attack, transformed into a stream of fire.
Whoosh—
A long burned scar stretched straight across the sky.
Han Pengshan and the black-robed man suddenly turned pale.
Both hurriedly shouted.
"Brother Wei, watch out!"
Boom!
Before the blue-robed man could react.
A terrifying lance gleam, wrapped in fierce flames as if intending to collapse mountains, rushed straight towards him!
"How can this be...?"
The blue-robed man was clearly taken aback.
You should know, the sound he just blew with the Mistaken Acupoint Flute could seal a cultivator’s Spiritual Sense, numbing the orifices.
Why did it seem that Ji Haoyuan wasn’t greatly affected at all?
What kind of monster is this?
But at this moment, the blue-robed man had no time to think further.
He hurriedly tapped his waist storage bag.
Buzz!
Immediately, a silver-glowing talisman appeared in front of him.
In an instant, a shield of flickering silver light formed around him.
Boom!
Along with a loud noise.
The shield formed by the silver talisman instantly showed countless cracks.
This frightened the blue-robed man immensely.
He was about to make his next move, but the power and flames on the lance gleam colliding with the silver shield suddenly surged.
Crash—
The silver shield shattered abruptly.
The blue-robed man hardly had time to react before his body was brutally pierced by the blazing lance gleam.
"How is this... possible?"
The blue-robed man stared blankly down at the large hole running through him, from front to back, with signs of charred black marks continuously spreading.
He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with blackened organ fragments.
Attempted to turn his head.
But ultimately failed to complete the action, as his breath vanished instantly, and he fell straight downward.
"Brother Wei!"
Han Pengshan and the black-robed man were suddenly horrified.
They clearly hadn’t expected that the blue-robed man would be killed so quickly by Ji Haoyuan.
You should know, his cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment mid-stage.
Although he wasn’t adept at direct magical combat.
His life-saving methods were not to be underestimated.
Yet such a person fell in their battle shortly after it started.
At this moment, both Han Pengshan and the black-robed man instinctively felt a sense of doom.
Especially the black-robed man.
He felt as if he had been led into a trap by Han Pengshan.
But before he could think further.
Lines of chilling Sword Qi suddenly appeared around him and Han Pengshan.
It was the second-tier magic, Upper Yuan Sword Point.
But this time, the Upper Yuan Sword Point was vastly different from the initial Upper Yuan Sword Point used by Ji Haoyuan.
As Sword Qi converged, a nascent sword array seemed to form.
Making Han Pengshan and the black-robed man feel a thorny presence on their backs.
A wave of immense crisis surged in their hearts.
"Han Pengshan, is this what you claimed, that with the power of the three of us, we could easily slay him?"
The black-robed man couldn’t help but turn his head and voice his anger towards Han Pengshan.
At this moment, he was filled with regret.
If only he had known, he shouldn’t have agreed to Han Pengshan’s proposal no matter what.
But unfortunately, it was too late.
The three of them had intercepted the other’s path, making it a matter of life and death.
The other side wouldn’t simply let them go naïvely.
And indeed.
No matter what promises or concessions were made, he wouldn’t allow such a potential enemy to live.
The Cultivation Realm lacked mercy.
Those who lacked resolve or had weak wills had long been eliminated.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
Only saw that the sword array in the sky grew denser and more terrifying.
Each Sword Qi emitted seemed like a full-strength strike from a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, making it increasingly difficult for Han Pengshan and the black-robed man to withstand.
Finally.
After some more time passed, the six black sharp blades in front of Han Pengshan were knocked flying.
The next moment, before he could make another move, seven or eight Sword Qi in the air suddenly gathered into one.
With a swift motion.
Under Han Pengshan’s incredulous eyes, it pierced directly through his forehead and flew out from the back of his head.
"Ugh..."
Seeing Han Pengshan’s corpse plummet from the sky, the remaining black-robed man couldn’t bear to stay any longer.
He gritted his teeth, pulled out a blood-red talisman from his body, and was about to activate it.
But just then, the surrounding Sword Qi suddenly resonated.
Following a thunderous explosion.
All the Sword Qi shattered simultaneously at that moment!
