Chapter 170
Opening Chapter 170 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings": This junior brother of mine, itâs not that he doesnât have a flying boat; itâs... Read on for more!
This junior brother of mine, itâs not that he doesnât have a flying boat; itâs just that heâs embarrassed to bring it out because this flying boat is too good."Look back, can you see Jian Zongâs shadow?"
Ji Yuan asked calmly in a deep voice.
Dong Qian no longer dwelled on the flying boat matter and quickly turned her head for a glance...
"I can! But he canât catch up with us."
He canât catch up for now because Iâve used the backup hidden energy reserves. Once my Thunder Falcon Essenceâs effect wears off in half an hour, heâll catch up... Among the enemies Iâve encountered on this journey, Jian Zong is the strongest one.
You can see it just by looking at this flying boat now.
Ji Yuan considered his flying boat to be the fastest among those of the same level, yet he didnât expect there to be a rival!
"Senior Sister, do you have any Divine Travel Talismans left?"
Ji Yuan had some, but only the kind for people, not the ones usable on flying boats. Although both are called Divine Travel Talismans, their functions are different. Naturally, they belong to two different types of talismans.
"No... That one is too expensive."
Dong Qianâs face also turned a bit grim.
She didnât expect that, despite being so cautious, they would still encounter an enemy like Jian Zong.
This cultivation journey indeed validates that ancient saying... Cultivation is perilous; you never know if tomorrow or an unexpected event will come first.
Ji Yuan remained extremely calm, contemplating the current situation. He had three choices: either use the Talisman Treasure to flee with the Sky Shuttle now, wait a bit longer to see if Jian Zongâs flying boat maintains its speed consistently or just has a short burst,
or stop directly and confront him!
Jian Zong might be strong, but I, Ji Yuan, with my Body Foundation Establishment, am not weak either!
After a brief consideration, Ji Yuan chose the second path, deciding to wait a bit longer and see. Anyway, the Thunder Falcon Essence could still hold on for another half an hour.
One pursuer, one escapee.
This went on for nearly half an hour.
Ji Yuan could see that the Thunder Falcon Essence was nearing its limit and would soon fall into a sluggish state, needing time to recover. Yet, Jian Zong relentlessly pursued from behind.
Damn it, should I really have to use the Talisman Treasure?
An unused trump card remains a trump card. Once you use it... Mainly because this Talisman Treasure can only be used once; once used, itâs gone.
Well, might as well try a fight first. If it doesnât work out, then use the Talisman Treasure to run.
Ji Yuan, in Body Foundation Establishment, indeed wanted to test his strength. The ordinary peak of Qi Refining isnât enough for him to kill. Jian Zong right in front of him seems just fitting.
Once he made up his mind, Ji Yuan hesitated no more.
"Senior Sister, in a moment, head straight towards Water Dragon Sect. Donât look back, and donât stop."
Ji Yuan instructed in a deep voice.
"What about you?!"
Hearing this, Dong Qian was shocked.
She naturally thought Ji Yuan intended to stay behind and cover for her, but had she seen who was behind them?
Jian Zong!
Could anyone cover against him?
"Iâll stay and hold off Jian Zong for a while. Rest assured, I have ways to escape. Just leave at full speed and donât stop."
Ji Yuan spoke quickly.
After hearing this, Dong Qian no longer hesitated and simply asked one question.
"Junior Brother, are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Alright."
Dong Qian acknowledged.
She knew well that Ji Yuan wasnât a fool. On the contrary, this junior brother of hers was a clever person, a cautious and clever person.
Since he could say such words now, he most likely genuinely had a way to save himself... Yet, for a person so cautious, he actually was willing to stay behind for her.
And to face an enemy like Jian Zong.
Saying she wasnât moved would definitely be a lie.
Ji Yuan slightly slowed the Thunder Falcon Boatâs speed, and Dong Qian leaped, not waiting to land. She immediately summoned the Misty Boat and headed straight east.
Ji Yuan urged the flying boat to make a circle and stopped at the original spot.
At the moment, the ground was still a desolate mountain range.
After waiting just a few breaths, Jian Zong came near.
"Who exactly are you? When did the Water Dragon Sect come out with a figure like you?"
Unlike before, now Jian Zong looked at Ji Yuan with extreme caution.
Seeing through a narrow opening, one can glimpse the full picture.
Without mentioning anything else, just judging by the speed of this personâs flying boat in front of him was enough to speak to his strength.
"Water Dragon Sect... Qiu Qianhai!"
As Ji Yuan spoke, he had already summoned the Hundred Fish Shield, and the Flying Sword Qing Fu also landed on his shoulder.
"Qiu Qianhai?!"
"Alright, Iâll remember you, Jian Zong."
Not waiting for the words to fall, Ji Yuan had already thrown out several top-grade Thunderstorm Talismans.
In an instant, the area where Jian Zong was turned into a Thunder Prison, black clouds rolling, purple lightning striking down.
"Open!"
Within the Thunder Prison, no human shadow could be seen, only a voice heard.
With Jian Zongâs shout, a massive scarlet blade light appeared out of nowhere, slashing towards the sky, instantly splitting the Thunder Prison apart.
His silhouette driving the flying boat rose from within.
Ji Yuan had never seen anyone breaking several top-grade Thunder Talismans so effortlessly before... Being able to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator, indeed has some real skills!
He wasted no time and threw several top-grade Attack Talismans again.
This time, it wasnât limited to Thunderstorm Talismans.
There were Water Techniques, Fire Techniques, and Thunder Techniques.
Jian Zong similarly didnât waste any words. He put his hands together in front of him, and his body suddenly began to emit a series of blood lights.
The blood lights centered on him, spreading continuously in waves around him.
While the blood lights blocked the numerous talismans, Jian Zong also let out a ferocious laugh.
"To not return the gesture would be impolite, you try this move from me!"
As he finished speaking, the blood lights around him suddenly exploded, destroying several talismans. Meanwhile, this blood light turned into a blood-colored serpent, raising its head high, fiercely biting towards Ji Yuan.
