Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Fortune Arrives

Ji Yuan looked through the items in the Storage Bag and felt much more at ease.

He then turned to look at the figures emerging from both sides, just as he had expected, they were the two tall men he had seen beside Qin Wei earlier.

“Fellow Daoist, this is a grudge between our Qin Family and Qiu Qianhai. I advise you not to get involved.”

Huda spoke in a deep voice, looking at Ji Yuan standing with hands behind his back.

Ji Yuan casually scattered the Spirit Stone powder in his hand, sensing his Dantian Qi Sea fully restored to its peak, he mocked, “Kill if you want, if not, then get lost with your nonsense!”

“Since Fellow Daoist insists on walking this dark path, then allow us to send you on your way!”

With that said, the two men stomped heavily on the Dharma Ship, leaping straight toward the island.

Ji Yuan and Qiu Qianhai each took action, one on the left and one on the right.

“Go!”

Ji Yuan immediately summoned the White Water Flying Sword, and the white light shot through the sky.

As soon as he landed, Huda saw Ji Yuan make a move, but he wasn’t alarmed. A flash of blue light appeared on his wrist, and in an instant, a blue light shield enveloped his body.

The White Water Flying Sword attacked but was stopped by this barrier.

A Protective Magical Artifact, and a Middle Grade one at that!

Ji Yuan’s eyes brightened, and he flicked his right hand, shooting out several Spiritual Lights while calling back the Flying Sword.

Just as Huda thought Ji Yuan would temporarily back off, he quickly looked up, only to see purple lightning rolling above his head.

Not just one bolt, but… a whole array.

Opposite, the five Middle Grade Thunder Strike Talismans in Ji Yuan’s hand slowly burned to ashes.

He himself brought out two of those, while the remaining three were taken from Liu Da’s Storage Bag.

“Son of a bitch!”

Huda cursed as he hastily slapped a Top-Grade Protective Talisman on himself.

Under such Thunder Techniques, a Middle Grade Protective Talisman would be a joke; if he didn’t want to die, only a Top-Grade Talisman would suffice.

As the two engaged in battle, on the other side of the island, Qiu Qianhai and Zhang Kai also began to fight.

But compared to Ji Yuan, Qiu Qianhai found himself in a much tougher spot.

He was only at the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation, and his Magical Artifacts and Talismans were far inferior to those of Zhang Kai from the Qin Family, so he was forced to retreat rapidly within moments.

A cultivator at the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation could already push him to such an extreme, and earlier, the Qin Family had mobilized three sixth-layer cultivators at once… without Ji Yuan, he was nearly certain to face death.

Even now, it was much the same; Ji Yuan, having gained an advantage with a large use of Talismans, saw Qiu Qianhai fall into danger.

Realizing this, Ji Yuan decided he couldn’t afford to hold back.

Ji Yuan swiftly stepped between Zhang Kai and Huda.

Just as Qiu Qianhai thought he was preparing to confront both, Ji Yuan flipped his right hand, revealing a small black flag.

The flag grew as it met the wind, morphing to normal size in an instant.

Ji Yuan plunged the flag into the ground.

Yin Ghost Array, activate!

Black mist surged from the ground, enveloping all four within, eventually covering the central part of the island.

Initially sensing the intense Yin energy, Qiu Qianhai felt alarmed.

But realizing it was released by Ji Yuan, he felt at ease.

“In a moment, I will position you behind him. Once you can see, attack immediately, no hesitation needed.”

Ji Yuan’s voice followed closely in his ear.

Qiu Qianhai didn’t reply, just nodded slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the black mist before him clear slightly, revealing a figure with his back to him, a white light shrouding his body.

Here it comes!

He first threw two Middle Grade Attack Talismans, followed by launching two Crescent Moon Sabers into the air, releasing over a dozen Water Blades.

Meanwhile, Ji Yuan released the two fifth-layer Yin Ghosts.

They screeched as they lunged at Huda, tangling with him.

Simultaneously controlling three techniques was immensely taxing for Ji Yuan.

“Hmm?”

Zhang Kai realized something was amiss as soon as he entered the black mist. He quickly activated his protective mystic light barrier and held a Top-Grade Protective Talisman in his hand.

This is a critical moment; nothing can be spared.

As he heard movement above, he crushed the Talisman, his double-layered protection snapping into place as he spun around, opening his previously clasped hands.

A Flying Saber, two-fingers wide, instantly multiplied into five, slashing through the black mist.

“Not good!”

Ji Yuan sensed this movement and hastily activated the Illusion Array, confusing Zhang Kai’s vision and making him perceive that Qiu Qianhai was rapidly leaving.

At the same time, his Flying Saber also followed closely after Qiu Qianhai.

In reality, Qiu Qianhai hadn’t moved and sensed several Flying Sabers brushing past him, feeling a little relieved in his heart…

“Go.”

Ji Yuan also realized that just relying on Qiu Qianhai might not be enough to take down this place. To avoid wasting time, he needed to make a move himself.

“Hold him off for a moment.”

Qiu Qianhai heard the voice by his ear and slightly nodded, once again maneuvering the Curved Saber to cut continuously around Zhang Kai.

Ji Yuan then took out the Upper Grade Attack Talisman Golden Seal Talisman.

Last time he fought with the Ghost Island Master, he almost got hit by this thing, so he naturally knew its power.

Seeing Zhang Kai being held up by Qiu Qianhai, Ji Yuan also crushed the Golden Seal Talisman.

Once the Upper Grade Attack Talisman was released, its momentum was naturally a bit overwhelming.

Huda, who was entangled with two Yin Ghosts on the other side, also noticed and shouted “Zhang Kai,” then immediately took out two Upper Grade Attack Talismans.

Adding to the Upper Grade Protective Talisman he used earlier, in just a short moment, he had already taken out three Upper Grade Talismans.

’Damn, truly wealthy as expected from a family background.’

Usually, cultivation clans and sect cultivators are wealthier than Loose Cultivators.

Although the Qin Family was just a small Qi Cultivation Clan in a market, it had developed for decades with backing and its cultivators were wealthier than ordinary Fishermen.

“Open for me!”

Huda guessed he was likely trapped in an Array, but concerning Arrays, he was well-versed.

So he could only break it with force.

Seeing him crush the two Upper Grade Talismans, Ji Yuan first withdrew the two Yin Ghosts with a thought, then opened a side of the Array.

Two enormous golden Giant Swords slashed across.

Huda’s eyes lit up… brightened, but this brightness wasn’t cut out by him, rather Ji Yuan actively opened the Array.

The Giant Swords missed, but even so, they still created a massive sword light in the air.

“Damn it!”

In this way, it was essentially a waste of two Upper Grade Attack Talismans for nothing… but not entirely, at least forcing this guy to open the Array.

Huda took one step forward, and a streak of azure light flashed under his boots.

In an instant, he left the Array.

But just as he left, a blood-curdling scream emanated from within the Array… Qiu Qianhai watched in horror as the two Yin Ghosts appeared from thin air and bit off Zhang Kai’s head, too scared to step forward.

Ji Yuan, seeing Zhang Kai thoroughly killed by the Yin Ghosts, retracted the Yin Ghosts and then put away the Yin Ghost Array.

The black mist on the island gradually dissipated, and Ji Yuan’s figure slowly emerged.

His right hand’s index and middle fingers were together in a sword-like gesture, expressionless as he swung forward.

“Go!”

The Flying Sword like White Water gushed, swooping forward to kill.

Huda released the Mystic Light Shield again, but this time Ji Yuan didn’t rush to retract the Flying Sword, instead exerting all his effort to drive it.

Not only that, but Qiu Qianhai’s two Crescent Moon Sabers were also being frantically driven, battling fiercely with Huda’s five Flying Sabers.

The Flying Sabers seemed standard; both Qin family members had a set each.

The sound of metal clashing continued in the air, occasionally sparking some sparks.

Just as Huda thought about first breaking through Ji Yuan’s Flying Sword, he suddenly caught sight of red gleam among the white Flying Swords out of the corner of his eye.

He slapped two more Protective Talismans on himself.

But this time, the talismans were Middle Grade.

For him, Upper Grade Talismans were limited; once used, they were gone.

The Deadly Needle emerged again but was blocked by the consecutive two talismans; seeing the Flying Needle inches away, Huda broke out in a cold sweat.

If he had realized any later, he might have been dead…

“Pugh—”

Huda suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, looking down in disbelief.

He saw beneath him on the sandy ground, without knowing when, an earth-yellow Magic Sword emerged, piercing through all his defenses almost instantly and directly through his body.

Opposite, Ji Yuan held a piece of Upper Grade Talisman Paper that turned to ashes.
