Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 744: Chapter 316: The Might of Ji Yuan!

To deal with such an old demon, there’s only one word... kill!

At this thought, Ji Yuan reached out his right hand, and a banner entwined with black energy flew out, gripped in his hand.

Demon Spiritual Artifact—Thousand Souls Banner!

Since the last evolution, this Thousand Souls Banner had evolved from a top-grade Spiritual Artifact to a top-grade Spiritual Artifact.

And this was Ji Yuan’s first time using it against an enemy.

He swallowed another drop of thousand-year-old Spirit Milk, wielding the Thousand Souls Banner with both hands, and gave it a fierce swing. Thousands of Yin Souls flew out, overwhelming the Hundred Insects Old Immortal.

In fact.

The moment Hundred Insects Old Immortal saw the Thousand Souls Banner, he was already thinking about escaping.

’The fact that someone can refine the Thousand Souls Banner—how terrifying must this old demon be?’

’Only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet so ruthless. No wonder he has so many means, with such skills, he probably started killing people from the first level of Qi Cultivation!’

With this thought, Hundred Insects Old Immortal didn’t care and directed his Heart Thought to retract the army ants.

Let them die a bit more, it’s fine. Use the Blazing Fire Ants to fend off these Yin Souls, and then escape first.

As long as the green hills remain, one need not worry about raising the army ants!

At worst, find other Foundation Establishment Cultivators and kill more of them.

Just as Ji Yuan sensed the Hundred Insects Old Immortal begin to retract the Blazing Fire Ants, he knew... the opportunity had arrived!

His figure was shielded by the Yin Ghosts, while his Heart Thought activated the Yin Ghost Banner behind him.

Merging his aura with the Yin Ghosts, he then dived downwards.

His figure left the Flying Boat, almost instantly appearing in front of Hundred Insects Old Immortal.

The latter’s eyes were filled with terror.

He didn’t expect his enemy, who was just far away, to suddenly appear before him in an instant.

What’s more terrifying is that he couldn’t detect any Spiritual Qi fluctuation!

Ji Yuan saw the terror in Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s eyes, and also saw his own fist being extended.

A fist enveloped in Blood Qi, displaying a dark red hue.

In the eyes of an ordinary cultivator, it would appear as if a demon skill was cultivated.

But for Ji Yuan... it was because his Blood Qi was too strong, manifesting as a phenomenon!

A peak punch from the bone forging realm of a pure Body Cultivator, delivered at such a close range.

Hundred Insects Old Immortal hurriedly activated a method hidden within his body.

Just as Ji Yuan’s fist was about to land on Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s face, a layer of egg-like shell appeared on his body.

The whole person was wrapped in layers.

Ji Yuan’s punch landed accurately on this eggshell, and Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s form was directly struck down from mid-air.

”Bang—”

A muffled sound echoed from the rocky mountain, accompanied by rising dust and collapsing rocks.

Ji Yuan’s form suspended in the air, watching this scene, muttering in his heart ”Not good”.

He immediately followed the dive down, entering the stone mountain.

Leading the way with the Flying Sword, he could even hear Hundred Insects Old Immortal tunneling through the mountain in his escape.

”Friend, I surrender, how about ceasing the pursuit?”

Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s voice came from deep underground.

Ji Yuan remained unmoved, responding only with the sound of the Flying Sword leading the way.

”I am still a Core Formation Cultivator. Friend, by pressing so hard, do you really not fear us perishing together?!”

Ji Yuan’s Flying Sword broke through the outer debris, discovering a freshly dug mouse hole in the mountain.

With someone leading the way ahead, he only needed to pursue from behind.

Which sped things up significantly.

His form flew straight ahead, and soon, Hundred Insects Old Immortal noticed something was off.

”Damn it!”

He cursed, fleeing while obstructing his rear.

But no matter how much he obstructed, Ji Yuan found it easier to navigate.

Several breaths passed, and suddenly, Hundred Insects Old Immortal stopped speaking.

Ji Yuan reacted quickly, holding his breath.

Poison!

This damn guy actually poisoned the tunnel he dug.

Ji Yuan quickly held his breath, took a Tier Three Antitoxic Pill, plus two improved Qi Blood Pills.

Poison?

As long as Blood Qi is strong enough, poison entering the body will turn into nourishment.

Not to mention a specially crafted Antitoxic Pill.

Thus, the dizziness lasted only a few breaths before normalcy returned.

He then swallowed another drop of thousand-year-old Spirit Milk.

Spiritual Qi surged within Ji Yuan’s Dantian, while he activated his final Magical Treasure.

Celestial Poison Needle!

The Poison Needle appeared, transforming into a green light, piercing deep into the cave.

Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense had now locked onto the old monster; his tunneling speed was due to using a mouse!

The mouse was as large as a person, its grey-black fur resembled iron, with claws like eagle talons, and eyes scarlet red.

”Red-eyed Iron Mouse... this old demon truly has a good collection!”

But currently, Hundred Insects Old Immortal was utterly disgraced, as he held the Red-eyed Iron Mouse’s tail, letting it drag him underground.

Whenever he felt the escape was slow, he’d transform a hand into a Spirit Needle, stabbing the mouse’s rear.

Causing the mouse to wince and dig faster.

”The Old Immortal is a Core Formation Cultivator, yet fleeing in such a shameless manner?”

Ji Yuan’s voice resonated in the old demon’s sea of consciousness.

Startling the old demon even further.

For he hadn’t detected Ji Yuan in his Divine Sense range, yet the latter could transmit voice directly.

What’s that mean?

It means Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense is stronger than his own!

Not only that, but another silver needle-like Magical Treasure was coming to kill.

... how the hell, so many Magical Treasures... this can’t just be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, with such Divine Sense!

This was clearly a Core Formation Cultivator masquerading as a harmless one!

He formed a hand seal, the eggshell once more surfaced on his body.

But the Celestial Poison Needle maneuvered through the cave’s gaps, stabbing into the Red-eyed Iron Mouse’s rear.

The mouse’s body immediately straightened.

Accompanied by the injection of poison from the Magical Treasure.

Piercing directly into its body.

The mouse trembled, stiffened instantly.

Clutching its tail, Hundred Insects Old Immortal sensed something amiss, releasing his grip and pausing.

But in that blink of an eye, Ji Yuan had already crossed miles, appearing before him.
