Chapter 77 79 Strange Sickle
Rong Xianxian drew out her narrow-blade scimitar and was about to meet Ji Cunxi who was chopping at her with the sickle-shaped knife, but she heard a "clang" sound, and a short sword seemed to appear out of thin air and collided with the strange sickle-shaped knife.
Flames were everywhere.
"Shang Yuege, I'm competing with others, not with your people. Why are you jumping out to make trouble?" Ji Cunxi withdrew his strange sickle-shaped knife, his voice was sharp, and there was an exasperated look on his face.
Shang Yuege came hurriedly, looking somewhat anxious. He was wearing a neat field combat uniform, which made his legs long, his waist straight and his body agile.
Shang Yuege looked unhappy when he heard Ji Cunxi's question.
"Your broken sword is vicious and weird. Ji Qingli has already said that you are not allowed to use it in battles in the future. Was Ji Qingli's public promise just talk? It is just to deceive those victims." There were about twenty people following Shang Yuege. They were dressed in uniform, moved in unison, and even their expressions were basically synchronized. They looked like a regular combat team.
"What does that have to do with you? I'm not fighting with you." Ji Cunxi answered angrily with some fear on his face.
"Can't you use it when fighting against us who are insiders and have suffered losses? Now you know clearly that a small wound from your broken knife can be fatal. If you compete with others again, it will not be an accidental injury, but intentional homicide." Shang Yuege's expression was cold and he was filled with fear. He didn't know if Xianxian would have suffered a loss if he had come a little later.
With that broken knife, even a small wound could be fatal.
At that time, when Ji Qingli had just obtained the sickle-shaped knife, Ji Cunxi had just led the spirit into his body. He had average aptitude and it took him a long time to finally reach the threshold. By accident, he was bound to the sickle-shaped knife. After that, he began to challenge others constantly.
Ji Qingli was worried about letting his son fight monsters, fearing that something might happen.
Ji Cunxi, however, was full of fighting spirit and kept challenging others. At first, it was people from his own team, and later he began to challenge people from other teams.
As the number of battles increased, Ji Cunxi's strength improved by leaps and bounds. It took him only more than half a month to break through the Soul Induction Realm and enter the Chongmai Realm.
As more and more people were injured by Ji Cunxi, they discovered something that horrified them.
The two sides competed, with some wins and some losses, and they stopped when the time was right. Ji Cunxi was weak at the beginning, and he lost more than he won.
However, everyone challenged by Ji Cunxi died within a month after the battle, without exception.
There was a young brother in Shang Yuege's team. He was the winner at that time. Although he had a cut on his arm, Ji Cunxi was more seriously injured.
At that time, the little brother showed no abnormalities and did not lose much blood from his wounds.
Unexpectedly, the shallow wound showed no signs of healing, and instead a black aura shrouded the wound.
The black energy seemed to be devouring the life force in his body. He asked the team's doctor to see him, but the doctor was helpless.
The little brother gradually became pale and dry, weak, blind and deaf, like dead grass that had been dried out by the sun and all its moisture evaporated.
There is no way to save the situation, no medicine can cure it, the death energy spreads, and the last bit of life is exhausted.
At first everyone thought that he was infected with some serious virus and did not associate it with the weapon.
Until they heard that Ji Cunxi had broken through and upgraded his realm in a way that went against common sense, the people in the teams with victims informed each other that everyone who had fought with Ji Cunxi had died in the same way.
Everyone suddenly felt horrified.
The one who was about to accept the challenge had an even uglier expression on his face. What kind of sparring was this? Ji Cunxi was able to level up so quickly, could it be that it was at the cost of his opponents' lives?
When exchanging martial arts, one should stop when the time is right. It sounds nice, but it is only one-sided. Ji Cunxi can kill people with just one move.
Later, everyone found Ji Qingli, who apologized and said that it was not a fatal injury, but just an accidental injury, and Ji Cunxi did not know that this weapon would cause such damage.
He also promised that he would never use this weapon to challenge others again.
Few people would believe that Ji Cunxi didn't know that such harm would be caused.
But the dead can no longer come back to life, and how many living people are willing to risk their lives to seek justice for the dead?
After receiving Ji Qingli's guarantee and compensation, they all left.
Ji Cunxi was unwilling to give in.
Ji Cunxi enjoyed the benefits of the rapid improvement in his martial arts skills. After each battle with others, an endless stream of vitality came from his body, surging and warm. That feeling was really addictive and more irresistible than alcohol and sex.
He targeted the small and medium-sized teams in the rear of the civilian ranks.
He challenged them secretly, and that's how Xu Kunqin got to know him.
Xu Kunqin soon discovered his secret, and then the two of them colluded with each other.
"What does it have to do with you? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business." Ji Cunxi's face darkened when he heard Shang Yuege reveal his secret.
"My brother, I asked Master Ji to help. I didn't approach this lady for no reason." Xu Kunqin didn't want any accidents to happen, so he hurried out to smooth things over.
"Yes, it was Director Xu who asked me to help. There is a grudge between the two sides. I am here to lend a hand, not to challenge them." Ji Cunxi said with a smile.
Just because you can’t challenge, doesn’t mean you can’t fight against the enemy!
"If that's the case, I'll come to help this lady. Let's have a fight and sign a life and death agreement. How about that?" Shang Yuege said with a sneer.
"You have to go against me." Ji Cunxi's face turned pale, his realm rose too fast, but his foundation was not solid. Every time he fought, he relied on that strange sickle-shaped sword, but he could not win every time. They just exchanged fighting skills and stopped when they were against each other. Shang Yuege knew his background, and he had been practicing martial arts since the beginning of the apocalypse. He had outstanding aptitude, his realm had been advanced long ago, and his foundation was solid. His pair of Qingshuang mother and child swords could be separated and combined, making them hard to defend against. If it didn't matter whether he lived or died, Shang Yuege would never give him the chance to use the sickle-shaped sword.
Although Ji Cunxi spoke in a firm tone, he was actually timid inside.
Xu Kunqin saw that things were not going well and it seemed that this Master Ji could not control the newcomer.
"My brother, when you walk in the martial arts world, you must abide by the moral principles. This lady hurt several of my brothers for no reason. Young Master Ji came to her aid. This is an act of chivalry when seeing injustice. Please understand." Xu Kunqin clasped his fists and performed a common etiquette in the martial arts world.
"I don't care what grudge she has against you, no matter whether she is right or not, but today and in the future, I will protect this person." Shang Yuege looked back at Rong Xianxian. His polite and gentle temperament had become a little hard and domineering after countless battles.
