Li Guanyi took a deep breath and shouted out loud,
"He is no longer the embodiment of immortality!!!"
Roles of attack and defense had reversed!
Ji Chengfeng stared at his bleeding arm, dazed and lost in thought.
Before his eyes, it seemed as though he was pulled back three hundred years to when the real Ji Chengfeng held his hand and said, "I am a descendant of the Red Emperor; the progeny of the Red Emperor enjoys five hundred years under heaven. When it comes to my turn, if I die, it’s simply the Heavenly Mandate."
"Relying on you to take the blame for me, I won’t live much longer anyway."
"It’s better to let you live."
"In the Northern Border’s snowy plains, the Western Desert, the world is vast. Just continue to watch over it for me, and then..."
All his past memories and that face became blurred.
A look of shock and rage appeared on Ji Chengfeng’s face, "Blood, blood..."
Even a Martial Arts Legend, unrippled by any danger, has things that could cause extreme turmoil within himself—just in this moment, he was no longer the capricious Longevity Guest, but the young and immature friend of Ji Chengfeng.
Suddenly, he turned frantically mad. Li Guanyi watched him, the legend, till raging with fury, could still charge back and forth amidst the army and Palace Master Level Martial Artists surrounding him. Li Guanyi had lost his power, but he understood that the other Palace Masters did not know Ji Chengfeng’s Achilles’ heel.
Li Guanyi could see the red bead circulating within Ji Chengfeng’s body; other parts of him could still regenerate, but his left arm seemed as though its ’immortality’ given by Heavenly Mandate had been severed, unable to rejuvenate ever again.
The bronze tripod began to absorb Ji Chengfeng’s Primordial Qi the moment Li Guanyi saw that core within him, it had now transformed into Jade Liquid.
Li Guanyi watched Ji Chengfeng as he still bravely charged forward, anxiety in his heart.
His eyes were fixed on the reddish-golden orb within Ji Chengfeng’s body.
What could pin down this fellow’s body accurately, drill through the orb that supported him, kill him?
What weapon could penetrate Ji Chengfeng’s vital spot?
Li Guanyi reached out his hand; he was extremely fatigued and weak, but at this moment, he heard the sword sound of the Chi Xiao Sword ringing beside his ear. Li Guanyi slightly looked up, as the sword shadows of the Chi Xiao Sword howled, he steeled his heart.
The bronze tripod was overturned!
The Jade Liquid of the Martial Arts Legend fell, dripping onto the shadow of the Chi Xiao Sword. The shadow suddenly became much clearer, emitting bursts of high-pitched howls, pure and clear.
Not far from Central State, Ji Yanzhong, exhausted, was preparing to return to Central State, his mind uneasy with the impending Imperial Hunt that would affect the world’s situation, when he suddenly heard a sword sound.
Then, the seals on the sword box began to unfold layer by layer!
The Sword Box burst open!
Accompanied by an earth-shattering sword sound, Ji Yanzhong was jolted and stumbled to the ground.
The Chi Xiao Sword soared into the sky, never looking back.
Li Guanyi reached out his hand, fingers hovering emptily, aimed at Ji Chengfeng’s vital spot. His Primordial Spirit tightly locked on. Ji Chengfeng, who had already reached the Martial Arts’ spirit-communicating realm, instinctively felt Li Guanyi, weak as an ant, was containing him.
Ji Chengfeng abandoned Gongyang Su Wang and swept toward Li Guanyi.
The Whale Hunter’s fingers curved slightly.
The ground between Li Guanyi and Ji Chengfeng seemed to stretch.
Someone of Ji Chengfeng’s realm was actually unable to traverse the distance to Li Guanyi instantly, as if these three feet turned into a thousand miles; streams of light appeared before Li Guanyi, fending off Ji Chengfeng’s approaches.
In this span, Whale Hunter’s Formation had taken shape.
It was a Formation recreated specifically for Longevity Guests.
And in the next moment, Whale Hunter’s fishing line hooked Li Guanyi’s collar, intending to pull him back.
The four Palace Masters turned and drew their weapons, converging to besiege Ji Chengfeng.
Ji Chengfeng’s hand was pressed against Li Guanyi’s chest, with just three-inches distance, creating a scene of great tension and impact—the fierceness and power of a Martial Artist, the rotation of the Battle Formation during combat, and the peril at every turn were all vividly displayed.
A high-pitched sword sound pierced the heavens!
Master Su Yue exclaimed in shock, "Murong Longtu?"
Gongyang Su Wang, the highest in Sword Dao realm, suddenly froze and said, "No, no, this is..." A red light burst into the sky, fierce flames tore violently downward, and a crimson sword, descended straight from heaven, piercing into Ji Chengfeng’s back,
And then through his body.
Ji Chengfeng was pinned to the earth—
Chi Xiao Sword, drilling through the Dragon Essence!
Just before Li Guanyi.
