Many monsters have innate skills, such as the dragon clan. They are born at the seventh level and can fly in the clouds and summon wind and rain.
Yin Ji, however, was somewhat different. While none of her kind possessed any extraordinary abilities, she alone possessed a keen sense of danger. This special sixth sense was sometimes effective and sometimes not, and wasn't always accurate, but it had helped Yin Ji evade several human traps and enabled her to gradually transform from a common snake demon into the renowned Serpent Lord of Xuantian Continent.
After leaving the Wutong tree, Yin Ji's uneasiness gradually faded. She decided to wait and see at the entrance to the ninth level of danger. After all, if she didn't want to, Du Jue Tian Lao couldn't order her to do anything. Between Du Jue Tian Lao's dislike and her own safety, Yin Ji naturally chose the latter.
Just after flying over a mountain, Yin Ji suddenly felt a tightness in her heart and her heartbeat began to accelerate violently.
Her heart was pounding, and a strange sense of crisis spread all over her body, making Yin Ji immediately cautiously guard her surroundings and not dare to be careless.
Yin Ji hid behind a mountain, concealing her presence, and began to survey her surroundings. To her surprise, there wasn't much around, only three demonic beasts hiding in three small hills. These demonic beasts seemed unique to the Cliff of Broken Love. Yin Ji had never seen them before, but their highest cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm. Yin Ji could kill them with a single glance.
However, Yin Ji could not let her guard down like this.
She hid on the back of the mountain for seven days.
The entrance to the Ninth Dangerous Realm was only a few hundred miles away, and Yin Ji could have flown out of this dark realm within a stick of incense, but she refused to move. Yin Ji lay dormant in the darkness, her emerald, snake-like eyes constantly scanning her surroundings, never resting for a moment.
Around the eighth day, Yin Ji narrowed her eyes slightly and murmured, "Is this really an illusion?"
Despite saying this, Yin Ji still didn't leave. She prepared for a day, and on the ninth day, she suddenly used a Sky-Suppressing Sea-Breaking Formation to protect herself. At the same time, she used a magic weapon and rushed to the entrance of the ninth level of danger at a speed beyond her own ability.
Such preparations were foolproof. The Tianqing Pohai Formation possessed immense defensive power, a formation Yin Ji had created herself. When she personally deployed it, it could at least withstand the full force of any late-stage Mahayana cultivator, perhaps even sustaining her for an hour. Meanwhile, Yin Ji employed four or five magical treasures to continuously accelerate her. Leaving this darkness in the space of a single incense stick was now possible in mere moments.
In the first moment, Yin Ji broke through the nearby mountains and saw the light coming from the entrance of the eighth level of danger.
In the second instant, Yin Ji crushed another magic weapon and increased her speed again.
In the third moment, Yin Ji had arrived at the entrance to the ninth level of danger and was only one step away from leaving.
In the fourth moment, Yin Ji had already left the ninth level of danger with one hand, but she suddenly stopped.
boom!
The Tianqing Sea-breaking Formation suddenly shattered!
A green lotus broke through the formation, and a hand suddenly grabbed Yin Ji's long tail and pulled her back to the ninth level of danger!
The Tribulation-crossing Venerables who were guarding the eighth level of danger did not know what was happening. They just watched as the Demon Venerable Yin Ji appeared at the entrance, then screamed, and her figure disappeared into the darkness of the ninth level of danger.
The long snake tail was three meters long, and the hand could only barely grab a little bit of the tip of the tail, but it also accurately pulled the snake back and dragged it into the darkness.
Yin Ji screamed nervously, but countless ideas flashed through her mind. She didn't have time to regret why she didn't transform into a human form, so that she might not be caught. She just kept thinking about how to deal with this unknown opponent.
Then the next moment, Yin Ji saw the mysterious opponent.
"Why is it you!" Yin Ji looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
But she couldn't utter the next word. Eight eight-petaled blue lotuses and one nine-petaled golden lotus shone brightly on the Xuanling Sword. Yin Ji channeled all her demonic energy, roaring and transforming into a green snake, charging at the opponent. Then, the sword light severed the giant snake's seven inches, separating its head. The Serpent Lord Yin Ji fell to the ground in the appearance she disliked the most.
Her snake tail was still trembling, but her snake head was still breathing for the time being.
A huge snake mouth kept wriggling, and bright red snake tongues kept spitting out from its mouth. Yin Ji never understood until her death why this cultivator who was only in the Tribulation Crossing Stage could kill her with a single blow! She was only one step away from escaping the ninth level of danger, but she was cut in two at this very door.
"Where... are you hiding...? Why... can't I find you..."
Luo Jianqing's left arm was almost completely severed, but in his right hand he held a long, narrow Xuanling Sword. His face was pale and bloodless, and a drop of his heart's blood dripped from the tip of the Xuanling Sword.
The attack just now lasted only a moment, but it took Luo Jianqing ten days to prepare.
Luo Jianqing did not hesitate at all. He first used his Qinglian Yuanshen to forcefully break through the Tianqing Pohai Formation. Then, after grabbing Yin Ji's tail and dragging her back to the darkness, he directly spat out a mouthful of blood onto the Xuanling Sword, activated the "Nine Lotuses Record of Taking Over the Heavens", and used his most powerful strength to cut off Yin Ji in one move.
Because, if Yin Ji was given just a little time, she could return to the eighth level of danger. There, there were numerous cultivators who could all serve as Yin Ji's human shields. As long as Yin Ji escaped, with her cunning and treachery, it would be extremely difficult for Luo Jianqing to catch her again.
Luo Jianqing lowered his eyes, staring at the red line beneath Yin Ji's snake tail. As he watched, the red line grew thinner and darker, until it was even dimmer than Hao Xingzi, Gui Yan, and the others, practically disappearing.
Looking at this scene, Luo Jianqing whispered to himself: "You have reached your current level, and you have already overdrawn a lot. There is gain after loss, and there is loss after gain. You still have one life left, so enjoy it well."
The next moment, Yin Ji's eyes darkened. As smart as she was, she didn't understand the meaning of Luo Jianqing's words, and she died completely.
Not at all
