Chapter 726 Beating Brothers
Xiao Chujing had nothing to say to Ji Wenyi. His anger turned into cruelty. His figure teleported like a ghost and he slashed out a hundred-foot sword in the air, slashing towards Ji Wenyi.
Ji Wenyi did not avoid but moved forward. He raised his gentle and handsome face, with deep resentment hidden in his eyes.
"I don't know what's good for me."
Under the moonlight, the secret guards, according to Ji Wenyi's instructions, set up a protective shield above the cliff to prevent Xiao Chujing from escaping, trapping Ji Wenyi and Xiao Chujing in a natural duel arena, and neither of them could leave.
The two men used all their magical powers and various means to compete, completely disregarding their past friendship and cold-bloodedly wanting to take each other's lives.
Ji Wenyi's cultivation is higher than Xiao Chujing's, but Xiao Chujing's skills are strange and changeable, and he has many life-saving trump cards. Ji Wenyi cannot completely subdue Xiao Chujing for a while.
The two men first used up all their spiritual energy, and then completely abandoned the dignity of the monks, and like mortals in the mortal world who were drunk and causing trouble, they fought with fists and feet.
Ji Wenyi grabbed Xiao Chujing's clothes and slammed the back of Xiao Chujing's head against the rough rock. Ji Wenyi's luxurious clothes were torn, and the jade forbidden steps that regulated his etiquette under his belt had long been lost and damaged. His black hair was disheveled, as if the elegant human skin had been torn open to reveal the inner core of a fierce ghost. The blood on his face dripped onto Xiao Chujing's face.
His face was distorted and almost ferocious, "Take it out, the magic weapon she gave you!"
When Xiao Chujing refused to take it, he took action himself, tearing off the rag from Xiao Chujing's chest and searching for the storage bag that Ye Xiaoman had given to Xiao Chujing.
"Madman." Xiao Chujing also had wounds on his face and hands. He raised his foot and kicked Ji Wenyi in the chest, kicking him away. He put one hand behind his back, spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped the blood that blocked his vision from his eyes, and crawled exhaustedly step by step towards the sword that fell to the side.
Ji Wenyi lay on the ground with his face up and his limbs spread out, his chest heaving rapidly. He squinted at the sky which was already turning pale, pounded the ground with his fist, and then slowly got up from the ground.
"His Majesty……"
The personal guards stood outside the magic circle in silence, not daring to look at their master, who was in a state of madness for the first time in history. After fighting all night, it was almost dawn, and this was not going to work.
The secret guard muttered to himself. He had been watching for a whole night and felt that his master was not caring about anything and dragged Xiao Chujing into a fight. His moves and tactics had lost their usual calmness and his brain was overwhelmed by emotions. He was like a desperate husband who caught his wife cheating and found out that his wife loved her lover more, so he broke down his defenses and had a duel with his lover.
What’s even more tragic is that after beating her for a whole night, she still couldn’t completely kill her lover.
He really wanted to dissuade his master from doing so. He thought that fighting like this would not kill anyone, so he should just abandon the dignity of a one-on-one fight with his love rival and let these powerful external aids solve the problem.
Xiao Chujing had already grabbed his life-saving sword, and Ji Wenyi stood up and fell down again.
Ji Wenyi finally gave the order: "Capture him."
The secret guards all breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to help their seriously injured master, and walked towards Xiao Chujing.
Xiao Chujing leaned his elbows against the ground and raised his upper body. He looked at Ji Wenyi coldly.
"Ji Wenyi, see you later."
He threw a hidden weapon at Ji Wenyi, and a white mist spread out from the weapon. The secret guard immediately turned around to protect his master, and Xiao Chujing disappeared on the spot.
…
Xiao Chujing shook off Ji Wenyi's pursuers and staggered out of the valley.
The sunlight half-deadly penetrated the clouds, and a few rays of light filtered through the branches and leaves onto the dirt path. The temperature in the mountains was low and the dew wet his clothes. Xiao Chujing found a stream that was hidden from view.
Squatting by the water, he scooped up clean water to wash his face, remove the blood from his body, treat the wounds, take pills to restore his strength, and meditate to regulate his breathing.
Xiao Chujing felt that this night was inexplicable.
First, Jiaying suddenly suffered a hypochondriac attack, and then Ji Wenyi went crazy.
Do the upper echelons of the divine realm have an ancestral disease?
Xiao Chujing sneered. He was so blind that he actually became brothers with someone like Ji Wenyi for a while.
Ji Wenyi had actually been coveting Junior Sister for quite some time. Perhaps he had caught a glimpse of her appearance at the Ghost King's inauguration ceremony and had developed a desire to possess her...
Xiao Chujing immediately overturned his idea. Ji Wenyi already knew what his junior sister looked like when she was on a mission in the Divine Realm. If this was the case, there would be a new absurdity. Why didn't Ji Wenyi show any surprise in the Ghost Realm?
Logically, a concubine who should have been sent back to her old country suddenly appeared in the ghost realm with the same face, and he didn't even ask why...
Xiao Chujing was too lazy to think about it. Maybe Ji Wenyi had already known about their undercover activities and was just settling the score later.
When he was thinking about what to do next, he was first worried about Ye Xiaoman's safety and felt that he should take Ye Xiaoman away from the area first.
If Ji Wenyi still had any dignity left, he would not openly order someone to abduct Ye Xiaoman, but given Ji Wenyi's character, it was hard to say whether he would rob people in secret.
At this time, the eldest senior brother contacted Xiao Chujing.
Where are you? We're leaving.
The wrinkles between Xiao Chujing's brows smoothed out. He said that he was temporarily held up by something, so he asked his fellow disciples to take Ye Xiaoman away first, and agreed to meet at an address halfway.
He trusted the sect's flying boat's ability to evade tracking, and Ye Xiaoman would be able to return to the sect safely.
Xiao Chujing adjusted his physical strength and returned to the city.
He did not immediately chase the sect's flying boat.
There was a cold look between his brows. He was used to taking revenge on the same day. It didn't matter if he couldn't take revenge in full. He would take revenge in part first and then deal with it slowly.
Xiao Chujing went to the black market.
Money talks, and if the reward is high enough, there will be desperate people willing to risk their lives.
In the evening, Xiao Chujing, wearing a conical hat with the brim pulled down so that only his chin was exposed, met a person who had taken on the commission in a dark alley.
The visitor was a god who was over forty years old. He walked with his shoulders straight and his robe smooth without a wrinkle. He couldn't help but maintain the habits he developed in the army.
After exchanging secret codes with Xiao Chujing, the God Clan member introduced himself, saying, "I once relied on my ancestors' influence to serve as the Emperor's Imperial Guard in the God Realm. Later, I was kicked out because I made mistakes while drinking."
"If you want to find connections among the Divine Emperor's secret guards, you've found the right person."
"In the Divine Realm, bloodline and origin are highly valued. Most of those who can serve as attendants to the Emperor are from dukes, marquises, and earls, and other aristocratic families. Aristocratic families, after all, are from the same circle. They've played together since they were naked, so they're all familiar faces."
The God Clan member pointed at himself with his thumb and said, "I'm a childhood friend of several of the guards."
"What do you want?"
Xiao Chujing threw him a bag of deposit and said, "Help me find out some information."
The God Clan member weighed the bounty and smiled with satisfaction. "I wouldn't dare inquire about the Emperor's itinerary, something as risky as this. But for anything else, could you please state your request first?"
Xiao Chujing pushed the brim of his bamboo hat even lower. "I want to know the whereabouts of Queen Ji Tuibao."
