Chapter 62 Chapter 62 He actually risked his life for Ji Chu...
Fu Yu Immortal Sect, Xuanhe Peak.
Meng Yuci stared silently at the distant mountains.
In the past, he often secluded himself here, sometimes for a few months, sometimes for several years, but he had never been as uneasy as he was now.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at the sound transmission jade in his hand.
Quiet and peaceful, like a piece of dead jade.
In the past, he never took the sound transmission jade with him when he went into seclusion.
Firstly, it is very difficult to suppress one's cultivation by force, and external objects are even more disturbing;
Secondly, no one in the entire sect would look for him through the sound transmission jade.
If the leader has any instructions, he will send a communication talisman.
The only person he wanted to wait for through the sound transmission jade was Ji Chu.
His eyes remained fixed on the patterns on the sound transmission jade for a long time. He had already traced the talismans engraved on it in his mind countless times, but unfortunately, they had never been lit up.
Ji Chu was a heartless person. No matter how many hints he gave her, it would be useless. As long as he didn't tell her directly, she would never imagine that she had a senior brother who was alone in seclusion.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart.
A bag full of snacks and talismans, but it can't even earn her a greeting?
…
Meng Yuci sighed imperceptibly.
Then he thought: If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain.
As a senior brother, it is reasonable for me to check the homework of my junior sister.
So he lightly tapped the sound transmission jade with his fingertips, while thinking in his mind how he should start if Ji Chu asked him why he came.
Before there was any sound from the other side, a cloud of black gas suddenly rose from under the cold pond.
Ever since the last time Ji Chu hit Shen Gu's evil thoughts, it seemed as if its vitality was severely damaged and it had been silent for many days.
But now he suddenly appeared again, disturbing the peace and making noise in his ears like a clown.
"Meng Yuci, I'm here to congratulate you. You're about to be promoted again..."
What should come doesn’t come, but what shouldn’t come comes in a hurry.
Meng Yuci's expression was slightly tense, and he felt a little annoyed at being disturbed.
For the first time in his life, he wanted to take the sound transmission jade and turn around and leave, pretending that he didn't see the appearance of the evil thoughts of the divine bone.
But due to his responsibility, he had to deal with the mess left by his momentary lapse of thought that day.
Meng Yuci finally stayed where he was.
With a flick of his long finger, he first put the sound transmission jade away properly.
When he looked up again, there was a cold chill in his eyes.
The evil thoughts of the divine bone suddenly floated in front of him:
"Meng Yuci, you haven't dared to ascend to the Golden Immortal Stage yet, isn't it because you know you're a demon, not an immortal? You're running away!"
Meng Yuci did not respond.
He looked at the black gas with an indifferent expression, as if he was looking at a dead object.
The evil spirit of the divine bone laughed:
"I know why you're so calm. Is it because of...her?"
The black air condensed into a vague illusion in mid-air:
Ji Chu stood in a place filled with ghostly and demonic energy, with small wounds on his face. He was looking at something with an extremely focused expression.
The ghostly and demonic energy around her was like huge mouths with bared fangs, ready to devour her at any time.
…
Shaowei Sword was quickly unsheathed, a cold light flashed, and the black air was split in two by the sword edge.
The sword continued to move forward, plunging straight into the cold pool and creating a crack in the divine bone that was pressing down on it.
He attacked unexpectedly and was extremely cruel.
The evil spirit of the divine bone was seriously injured by him, but instead laughed even more arrogantly:
"Hahahaha...Meng Yuci, ah Meng Yuci! It's rare to see you angry. You're worried that I'll kill you prematurely with this fine sword you painstakingly selected—"
It was halfway through its words when the Shaowei Sword stabbed down again, piercing through the divine bone and blocking its words.
The moment the divine bone was destroyed, a loud thunder suddenly exploded in the originally cloudless sky.
The spiritual power in his body surged at the same time, and there were signs that he could no longer suppress it.
The sound transmission jade moved at this moment.
Ji Chu's voice was particularly bright:
"Senior Brother?"
Meng Yuci took the sound transmission jade and placed it on the side of his face, while he expressionlessly controlled the Shaowei Sword to cut through the evil thoughts in the divine bone, and carefully chopped up the black air in the air, forcing it to sink into the divine bone and never float up again.
His eyes were as black as cold jade, emitting a chilling coldness that made people shudder. However, when he spoke, he remained calm and composed, as if he was just asking casually:
"Ji Chu, where are you?"
The other side was obviously excited:
"It's me, it's me! Brother! I'm in the City of the Dead! I—"
The sound suddenly stopped.
Meng Yuci's eyes turned cold instantly.
The frost and snow on the top of Xuanhe Peak were blown by the wind, and as they approached him, they were cut in half by the sword energy. They fell on his eyelashes and accumulated into a piece of severe cold that was difficult to melt.
Without hesitation, he turned around and was about to leave.
Immortal Huiyuan appeared in time to stop him.
He glanced at the surging cold pond, then at Meng Yuci, his expression solemn:
"What are you doing?"
Meng Yu said:
"It's going to attack Ji Chu, I'm going to save him."
"Ji Chu may not be in trouble."
Immortal Huiyuan disagreed:
"Besides, how could you destroy the divine bone directly? In the eyes of others, your actions are tantamount to treason! How can I protect you? How can I explain this to the world?!"
Meng Yuci raised his eyes, expressionless:
"If Master wants to give the world an explanation, I will save Ji Chu and leave it to Master to deal with."
He held his sword at his side, unwavering:
"Now, I have to go save people."
"You're crazy..."
Immortal Huiyuan looked at his appearance and couldn't help but say:
"Do you know you're about to level up? How are you going to suppress your spiritual power after leaving the Xuanhe Peak barrier? Could it be that—do you really want to become a demon?"
Meng Yuci responded by transforming into a stream of sword energy and crashing directly into the exit.
Immortal Huiyuan immediately blocked him with his sword energy, but was knocked back half a step by him.
By the time he had steadied himself, the frosty sword energy had already broken through the barrier and headed straight towards the City of the Dead.
"That's crazy..."
Immortal Huiyuan looked at the sword marks on his hands and couldn't help but say.
"He actually gave up his life for Ji Chu..."
*
"Tell me, is this your second life?"
Ji Chu heard these words in despair that was almost suffocating.
What made her more panicked than the fact that her reborn identity was named by the other party was the thing in front of her.
In the darkness, a pair of red-gold eyes without pupils suddenly appeared, like a gaping abyss.
This wasn't the first time she'd met those golden eyes.
The other party's intention to kill is becoming more and more obvious.
At the beginning, he was just testing me, but now, his fangs are fully exposed and he has murderous intentions.
Could it be true, as Zhongli Bai said, that there really is something with power comparable to that of the gods, who can also calculate her identity and has always been wary of her?
No time to think about it...
The blood and spiritual power in her body were suppressed by him. She could not move her body or look away. She could only let the other party consume her spiritual power and tear her soul apart.
This situation is exactly the same as before death in the previous life.
The memories of the two lives overlapped, and Ji Chu was unable to tell where and when he was for a moment.
At one moment she couldn't help but doubt:
Am I... already dead?
She felt a little confused and helpless.
The next moment, she instinctively felt something was wrong.
No...it shouldn't be like this.
She was not dead, she had been sent back by Zhongli Bai, and she was reborn.
This is her second life.
Ji Chu gritted her teeth and tried to break free from the suppression of her soul by the golden eyes.
Unfortunately it's useless.
The other party was obviously much stronger than her, and under the absolute class oppression, she could only be slaughtered.
Damn Zhongli Bai, she said entering the temple was the best fortune, but now, she's not really going to end her life here early, is she?
Damn it, she talked about changing her fate and starting over, but in the end, she died even earlier than in her previous life!
Ji Chu's thoughts were in a mess.
No, no, I can't die like this!
She also wanted to have dinner with everyone, to find out what Zhongli Bai was talking about as the "last god." She also wanted to try her senior's braised prawns in sour soup hot pot, braised spareribs, and stir-fried lotus root slices in an orange juice bowl...
As the names of the dishes got longer and longer, Ji Chu's desire to survive grew stronger.
She had practiced swordsmanship for so long, memorized so many mental techniques, and even been struck by such a strong thunderbolt when she was leveling up. And her senior brother had helped her obtain the Xunzhen Sword...
She had finally gotten these things, she absolutely couldn't give up at this moment!
In this new life, she had finally come to this day, she absolutely, absolutely could not die like this!
The meridians in the body that had been suppressed and stagnant suddenly began to function.
The little remaining spiritual power was sent towards the sword talisman on her wrist.
She also felt a faint burning sensation at the back of her neck, as if someone was supporting her back to prevent her from falling down easily.
Ji Chu finally grasped the hilt of the Xunzhen Sword.
Then she slowly raised her eyelids and looked directly into the pair of golden eyes in the void.
In her previous life, she was unable to break free by her own strength. When her soul was almost devoured, it was the Shaowei Sword that pierced her heart, allowing her to have a moment of respite.
But now, she is the one holding the sword, she can still break free!
Ji Chu felt like an ant trying to pry a huge rock. At first, it was ineffective, but as long as she refused to let go, as long as the rock showed even the slightest looseness, she would have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and completely move the entire rock away.
She raised the sword little by little.
Senior Brother said that she should not be afraid of fighting. Senior Brother also said that the sword's will is invisible. Senior Brother also said that she only needs to keep moving forward -
Ji Chu moved his eyes with difficulty. Every movement brought him pain like a sharp knife sharpening his eyeballs, and even blood and tears began to flow from the corners of his eyes.
But she still shifted her gaze little by little, gradually breaking away from the suppression of her soul by the golden eyes.
The moment her sight was free, she swung her sword fiercely—
Blood splattered everywhere.
The ghost claws on her neck loosened for only a moment, then quickly reapplied their force, suddenly carrying her forward.
In the center of the temple is a huge pool of blood, with many corpses and remains floating up and down in it, and the ghost claws condensed and extended from the blood pool.
Blood is invisible, but it can be reunited even if it is cut off.
Ji Chu blinked hard.
Feelings of sourness, dryness, pain, numbness, etc. instantly came from the eyeballs.
A drop of blood flowed down the corner of her eye, leaving a bright red mark on her face.
A sudden surge of savage emotion arose in her heart.
She just didn't believe it. Was she going to die today?!
Ji Chu raised his hand and grabbed the ghost claw on his neck with his bare hands. Ignoring the severe pain in his throat, he pulled it out with force.
He was so strong that he would rather have his neck pulled off than be dragged away.
The ghost claw's movement to drag her into the pool of blood froze.
The harder she pulled, the less the ghost claw she was pulling looked like a claw.
In the end, it was almost like pulling noodles, with the tip shaped like five fingers, pinching her neck and leaving a horrible bruise;
The wrist and arm had been stretched and deformed to an almost weird degree, and Ji Chu completely grasped it with one hand.
Ji Chu felt like the flesh on her neck was about to be torn off, but the strength in her hands did not loosen at all. She even added another hand and pulled the ghost claw's wrist into a thin strip.
It was like squeezing a sponge soaked in blood, and the blood kept flowing through her fingers. Ji Chu felt as if her forearm was soaked in blood.
As the blood was squeezed out, the ghost claws in his hand became thinner and thinner.
Ji Chu exerted force suddenly, and only heard an extremely subtle "click" sound, and then the strength in his hand suddenly disappeared.
She actually stretched and deformed the ghost claw to a width of only a little, and then tore it off completely.
The root of the ghost claw quickly retracted and disappeared into the pool of blood, leaving only the five-finger-like tip remaining on Ji Chu's neck.
Ji Chu held his breath and broke the five fingers on his neck one by one, as if he was breaking a piece of deformed malt sugar.
——Of course it’s the disgusting kind that cannot be eaten.
She broke the last remaining knuckle and threw it on the ground. Ji Chu felt like a cold-blooded murderer.
She squatted on the ground, gasping for breath as she looked at the pool of blood that was so close to her.
The sound transmission jade lit up again.
Senior brother's voice was like spring rain and winter snow, instantly dispersing the suffocating and stuffy atmosphere near the blood pool, making her feel particularly refreshed and comfortable.
"Ji Chu, can you hear me?"
