Chapter 1990: Ji 18’s Obstruction! Let’s Wait and See! Where Are My Reinforcements?
Mu Jinyu had no idea that Lu Kaige was now feeling somewhat doubtful about his life due to the setback he had suffered.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, they were already aboard the teleportation array, leaving Dongyue Mansion and returning to the wasteland once again.
Mu Jinyu couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental upon arriving here.
He had just undergone the Heavenly Tribulation not long ago in this area, then returned to Dongyue Mansion to seek Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit from Qiu Yunxin, only to turn around and come back here.
If he hadn’t left at that time and directly encountered Ji Wudao along with the last of the Ji Imperial Clan elders, perhaps Ji Nine and Yao Eight wouldn’t have been able to storm Dongyue Mansion for so long, wreaking havoc on numerous students and instructors before he returned.
Perhaps he would have been able to discover it immediately and return to Dongyue Mansion with Ji Wudao, resulting in fewer deaths...
While Mu Jinyu was lost in these thoughts!
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, a gigantic hand appeared from the sky, grabbing toward the three of them.
"The same trick again?"
Mu Jinyu saw the giant hand and couldn’t help but laugh coldly.
As expected of the elders of the Ji Clan, the methods of the two were exactly the same.
When he had just returned to Donghua City, it was Ji Shisan who tried to kill him the same way!
But now, Ji Shisan and Ji Nine were already dead.
It’s only you, the weakest Ji Eighteen left, do you still want to turn the world upside down?!
"Boom!!"
Before Mu Jinyu could make a move, both Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun, with cold expressions, struck forcefully, trading blows with the giant hand.
"Bang!!"
In an instant, the giant hand was pierced through, with copious amounts of blood pouring down as if it cost nothing.
A furious roar also came from the sky.
Wei Qiankun’s cultivation was in the Late Space-Light Realm, and Ji Wudao’s cultivation was at the Pinnacle of Creation Realm. Logically, they should be inferior to Ji Eighteen.
But if they really couldn’t match Ji Eighteen, they wouldn’t have been able to hold off both Imperial Clan elders just now.
This was because Ji Nine and the others had been dormant in their respective clan territories for too long. Even though their cultivation remained at the Zenith Space-Light Realm, their bodies and spirits were no longer at their peak.
Wei Qiankun alone could possibly defeat one of the elders in single combat.
Thus, now, with Ji Wudao joining forces, it was indeed easy to strike Ji Eighteen due to his injuries!
"Damn it!"
"You’re the Mansion Master of Dongyue Mansion!!"
Ji Eighteen, injured, quickly realized.
The people emerging from this teleportation array were not ordinary students and instructors of Dongyue Mansion, but were actually the Mansion Masters.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to harm his strength under his carelessness.
But what’s going on?
Ji Nine and Yao Eight had already forcibly entered Dongyue Mansion, hadn’t they?
Why didn’t they manage to kill Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun?
Or did they somehow escape in the moment of negligence?
Yet he felt something was amiss.
However, Ji Eighteen refused to entertain the notion that Ji Nine and Yao Eight had already died by their hands.
So, although he was puzzled, Ji Eighteen thought these people were likely forced to flee Dongyue Mansion by Ji Nine and the others.
Ji Eighteen decided to make a move against them; even if he couldn’t kill them, he would hold them off and wait for Ji Nine to arrive.
Then capturing them would become a simple affair!
"Boom boom!!"
Ji Eighteen, extremely arrogant, launched a full-force attack at Mu Jinyu and the others!
In an instant, flames blazed, lightning exploded, all striking toward Mu Jinyu and the others.
The sight was so intense that it made Mu Jinyu feel as though he was undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation again!
"Ha!!"
"Humph!!"
Confronted with Ji Eighteen’s offensive, Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun remained unafraid.
With a wave of their hands, they repelled the flames and lightning.
Then they pressed the attack toward the sky, jointly aiming to kill Ji Eighteen.
Mu Jinyu, seeing this, hesitated whether to continue using the Earth Emperor’s Tome.
If he used it, he feared Ji Wudao and the others might choose to cut off their bloodline.
This would cause significant harm to them.
But if he didn’t use it.
He wasn’t sure if they could successfully take Ji Eighteen down.
"If you’re concerned, you might as well not use my power. The two of them can actually take down that feeble old thing!"
At this moment, Ming’s voice echoed.
"Hmm."
Upon hearing Ming’s words, Mu Jinyu relaxed considerably and decided not to make a move.
In his view, Ming, as the Artifact Spirit of the Earth Emperor’s Tome, had vision and insight far superior to his own.
If it said so, it certainly wasn’t false.
Reflecting on the first time Ji Haoran and the Patriarch of the Yaao Clan were killed, Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun, working together, really did easily overpower them.
Admittedly, back then, Ji Wudao had taken secret medicine and used a special cultivation technique, which granted him power nearing the Zenith Space-Light Realm.
But now, with the boost from the Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit, he possessed cultivation at the Pinnacle of Creation Realm, likely comparable to the strength he gained from using the secret medicine.
Let’s just watch for now.
If it doesn’t work, he’ll pull out the Earth Emperor’s Tome to help obliterate Ji Eighteen!
"Boom boom boom boom!"
"Crackling!!"
In the sky, the battle raged on, the wasteland trembled, with copious amounts of blood occasionally raining down from above.
It was evident how frantic their battle was, as though they were fighting to the death.
Ji Eighteen was shaken by their fiercely aggressive tactics during the skirmish.
But quickly, he felt this was normal!
After all, during an escape, facing roadblocks, one must fight desperately, or else if the pursuers catch up, it’s over.
Thus, Ji Eighteen joined the battle with great enthusiasm.
Even disregarding his injuries!
But after a few more minutes of fighting.
Ji Eighteen began to sense something was amiss.
How come Ji Nine and the others hadn’t shown up to help after all this time?
He was at risk of being severely injured by Wei Qiankun and the others!
"No!"
"I can’t keep fighting them; if Ji Nine and the others don’t come, I’m doomed to fall here!"
Ji Eighteen finally realized and sought to end the frantic battle with them, planning to flee.
However, he wanted to leave, but Wei Qiankun and the others disagreed.
The roles swiftly reversed, with Ji Eighteen trying to flee and Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun desperately blocking him.
But the difference was, previously when Ji Eighteen blocked them, Ji Wudao and the others didn’t intend to leave at all!
"No!!"
"Boom!!"
Ultimately, Ji Eighteen grew increasingly desperate, unable to wait for reinforcements, finally realizing.
With a thought he hadn’t considered before—could it be...
Ji Nine and Yao Eight weren’t pursuing Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun?
They had already died by Wei Qiankun’s hands?
They had come out to hunt him?
As soon as this thought emerged, Ji Eighteen went utterly mad, desperately attempting to flee.
In the end, he was too severely injured, leading Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun to exploit a flaw, striking him down until reduced to ashes!
