Chapter 34: One Punch Kill! Who Gave You the Right to Call Junior Brother?!
“I’ll hold them off with Jing Xu! Junior Brother Xu, take the others and run!”
Panic erupted at the sight of She Ji. So of the Wang clan retainers were so frightened they burst into tears. Jing Xuan and Jing Xu both wore solemn expressions. The upper half of She Ji’s body had fully transford into human form, her shapeshifting was halfway complete. She now possessed the power equivalent to a Core Formation cultivator. Yet they were rely at the 8th layer of Innate Realm, ard with nothing but standard Talismanic Weapons of Mount Longhu. To face her and survive was nearly impossible.
“Senior Brother, leave it to .”
In that brief instant, Xu Xuan had already seen through She Ji’s abilities.
[She Ji]
[Race: Demonic Hybrid – Feathered Serpent]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining 10th Layer (Half-Transford)]
[Abilities: Petrification (Red), Heightened Sll (Blue), Deadly Venom (Blue), Slithering (Blue), Leap (Green)]
What surprised Xu Xuan was that though She Ji wasn’t as powerful as the Lord of a Hundred Poisons, she clearly descended from a feathered serpent bloodline, blessed with rare gifts. Her innate skills were even more extravagant than those of that poison-cultivating old monster. Had she been a full-fledged Core Formation demon, Xu Xuan might have hesitated. But a re half-transford serpent in the Core Formation realm? Not worth his concern.
“Junior Brother Xu! This isn’t the ti for competition! She’s a half-transford great demon! Even the two of us together might not survive her. Your Alchemy Sect isn’t known for combat! Get out of here, quickly!”
But She Ji had already launched her attack. Jing Xu swung his Vajra Mace, infused with True Qi, causing its original three-foot length to magnify many tis over. Jing Xuan followed up by casting three Flaming Talisman Seals, which exploded midair into three massive fireballs the size of water vats, blazing a path directly toward the demoness.
But She Ji had no fear. Facing flas that could lt iron, she pressed low to the ground and—like an ice skater—glided swiftly across the floor. In re seconds, she closed in on Jing Xu. The Vajra Mace hadn’t even reached its full arc when Xu Xuan saw She Ji’s eyes turn a violent red. At that critical mont, Xu Xuan threw a punch, knocking the stunned Jing Xu out of harm’s way.
In that very instant a blood-red beam shot out from She Ji’s eyes, missing Jing Xu but hitting an unlucky Wang clan servant. The mont the red light entered him, the man instantly froze, his body and clothes rapidly transforming into a lifeless statue of grey stone.
“Hsss—! Her petrification technique is this terrifying?!”
Even Jing Xu gasped. Though he had True Qi to protect him, he’d still have been paralyzed for at least a mont. Against a Qi Refining peak, a half-transford demonic serpent, a mont’s delay was enough for ten deaths.
“Junior Brother Jing Xu, let handle this!”
Xu Xuan was already at the front lines. She Ji stared at his elegant face, her eyes wandering down his firm physique.
“Such a handso little Daoist…If you’re willing to submit to , perhaps I’ll consider sparing your life.”
Jing Xuan and Jing Xu’s faces turned red with panic.
“Junior Brother Xu, co back! There’s no ti! Let’s unleash the Five Thunder Talismans together! Maybe we can still save—”
“Where is Junior Brother Xu?! Where did he go?!”
They frantically looked around. Even the arrogant She Ji began to sense sothing was wrong. She activated her heightened sense of sll and the mont she caught a familiar scent, her face twisted.
“…Why does this scent feel so familiar?”
A shadow passed over her mory—the hairless body of that accursed demonic scorpion, its screams of agony still vivid. A chilling breeze approached an aura that sent terror down her spine. A blue-robed Daoist figure erged from the mist, blending seamlessly with the nightmare in her mory.
“You!?”
“.”
Xu Xuan had recognized her just as she had recognized him. Thanks to titles like Alchemy Grandmaster, Flawless Physique, and Power of Four Elephants, his body had undergone many refinents. Even though those weren’t directly related to senses, his enhanced physical form made his sense of sll no weaker than She Ji’s. They moved simultaneously.
She Ji, overwheld with fear, instinctively activated her Petrification Spell, but before her bewitching pupils could glow, Xu Xuan’s Binding Demon Rope had already clutched her throat. With his other hand, he unleashed a mighty punch to her supple waist. Infused with savage tal-elent Sword Qi, the body with the power of four elephants along with the pinnacle technique of a Fist Master—it was the ultimate fusion.
Celestial Emperor Fist – The Emperor Patrols the Nine Provinces!
Boom—
The golden-light-cloaked fist smashed against her soft, glossy skin with a heavy thump like a drumbeat of flesh. For a mont, ti froze. Then, a series of crackling sounds, like firecrackers erupting, split across She Ji’s smooth porcelain-white flesh. Hairline cracks spread like spiderwebs. With a deep thunderclap, the explosive Sword Qi burst outward. The once-beautiful demonic serpent
shattered like a firework in the sky.
It had all happened so fast—just one punch from Xu Xuan. Jing Xu and Jing Xuan had barely drawn their Five Thunder Talismans, not even channelling True Qi into them yet when She Ji exploded like a giant firecracker! If not for a small piece of snake tail falling from the sky, landing right in front of them,
they would’ve thought they were hallucinating.
“She’s really dead? That huge demonic serpent, just like that?”
“Are we hallucinating?”
“Then what’s this thing at our feet?”
The two looked at each other, then at Xu Xuan as he slowly walked toward them.
“So… Junior Brother Xu really killed her with one punch?”
“Insolence! Who gave you the right to call Junior Brother!? Call Senior! Senior Brother!”
