Chapter 275 Socially anxious master vs. sickly disciple 50
He actually found it a little hard to accept that his beloved junior brother had turned into the demon lord that everyone hated. Even though he could have changed, he couldn't bear to watch Ji Xiao die.
"Ji...Junior Brother, please leave quickly. They are targeting you."
Ji Xiao didn't say anything, but looked at the Qilin beside him: "It's a divine beast."
There are some surprises with Quanjiu:
"There are so few divine artifacts in this world, I didn't expect there would be divine beasts."
Ji Xiao's eyes were filled with thought:
"The guardian beast of the holy land can never leave the holy land."
This is why this group of immortal cultivators led him to the holy land, hoping to use the power of the divine beast to deal with him.
“Ouch—”
Qilin sensed the strong demonic energy coming from Ji Xiao and growled out a warning.
Ji Xiao was holding Di Xie, and Quan Jiu saw him look wary for the first time.
The Qilin beast didn't give him any preparation and pounced on him directly, grabbing Di Xie tightly with its two claws, making a sizzling sound.
Fortunately, the Emperor Xie is a divine weapon. If it were an ordinary weapon, it would have been broken long ago.
The man and the beast fought for a full half hour, with neither of them getting any better. Quan Jiu watched Ji Xiao's arm being scratched by the Qilin again, and finally couldn't help but step forward.
"Don't come over here!"
Ji Xiao stopped her in a deep voice.
Quan Jiu pursed his lips and said nothing.
The original owner was extremely talented, but unfortunately he had practiced for too short a time. Being able to surpass the gray-haired sect leader at the age of twenty-three was already his limit.
But Ji Xiao is different.
No one knows the Demon Lord's exact age, all we know is that he had reached the threshold of ascension many years ago.
Ji Xiao had a hard time facing the divine beast, let alone Lan Tingruo who was only in her early twenties. If she stepped forward now, it would only make things worse and distract him.
When Qilin lay on the ground dying, Ji Xiao already had more than a dozen wounds on his body.
When the Qilin beast closed its eyes, Ji Xiao finally spat out a mouthful of blood, and his moon-white robe was stained red.
"Ji Xiao!"
Quan Jiu supported him and began to heal his injuries.
There was a bloodstain on Ji Xiao's lips, he raised his hand to wipe it:
"It's okay, go check on Zuo Yao."
Quan Jiu frowned, and after carefully examining his injuries, a chill spread throughout his body.
"My meridians are damaged, my vital energy is in chaos, and you still say it's okay?"
The more critical the moment, the calmer she became and began to look for medicine in the storage space.
"This Qilin's claws are poisonous."
She looked unhappy.
Ji Xiao exchanged a glance with her, and they both looked towards Zuo Yao's position.
Quan Jiu: "Xiao Yaozi, pull out the red grass next to your feet."
The hidden wounds left by the Qilin's claws can only be healed by the flame grass that lives around it.
Zuo Yao pulled out the flame grass and applied the medicine to Ji Xiao. The true energy in Ji Xiao's body calmed down visibly.
But strangely, Ji Xiao's expression didn't improve, but became even uglier.
The man pursed his lips, as if wasting time:
"Let's leave the holy land first."
Quan Jiu didn't know what he was afraid of, so he could only nod. But just as they stood up, dark clouds suddenly gathered above their heads, and thunder roared above them.
When Quan Jiu looked up, he saw lightning scurrying around in the dark clouds like long snakes.
The holy land is at the bottom of the lake, how could there be dark clouds?
Almost instantly, she understood what the dark clouds above her head were.
"Ascension Tribulation."
She stared in shock at Ji Xiao, who was having difficulty walking, and her heart couldn't help but sink.
The ascension calamity is a life-or-death struggle.
When others were overcoming tribulations, they would prepare elixirs and artifacts in advance, and fight the thunder tribulation in their best condition. But in Ji Xiao's current state, encountering the thunder tribulation would simply make things worse...
Zuo Yao looked at the increasingly dense dark clouds in the sky in shock, his fingers trembling.
This was the first time he had seen such a terrifying ascension catastrophe. With Ji Xiao as the center, the sky within a radius of a hundred miles was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled continuously.
"Junior Brother Ji...are you going to ascend to become a god?"
In the entire continent, there hasn't been a single person who has ascended to become a god in nearly ten thousand years.
Immortal cultivators are also divided into levels. The higher the level of the cultivator, the greater the chance of failure in advancement, not to mention the final divine calamity.
After surviving the divine tribulation, one can ascend to become a god, live as long as heaven and earth, and be immortal.
But if you fail to transcend the tribulation...
Their souls will be scattered and they won’t even have the chance to be reborn.
Ji Xiao understood the reason for the divine calamity almost instantly.
Flame grass.
The flaming grass had grown alongside the divine beast for so long that it had long since been assimilated into the divine creature. He was already stuck on the brink of advancement, but when he suddenly consumed a piece of the divine grass, the zhenqi in his body no longer obeyed his command and desperately struggled to escape...
The fingertips were icy cold.
Once the ascension calamity begins, there is no possibility of it being interrupted.
She forced herself to calm down:
"Long Yuan, Di Xie, and Xiao Tengzi are all divine creatures. They should be able to help you survive the first few thunderbolts."
Ji Xiao shook his head:
"Xiao Tengzi and Long Yuan have both signed a contract with you. If they help me, once they are detected by the thunder, they will be identified as foreign invaders, and the power of the thunder will be multiplied..."
"I know."
Quan Jiu cut his fingertips and drew a mark in the air with his blood.
Ji Xiao knew what she was going to do, and suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Need not!"
Quan Jiu calmly asked him:
"Then answer me honestly, are you absolutely sure you can survive these ten thunderbolts?"
Ji Xiao: "I..."
"I only listen to the truth."
Quan Jiu interrupted him.
Ji Xiao was silent.
Quan Jiu was more assertive than ever before: "Then shut up and listen to me."
Ji Xiao stared at the fierce woman in front of him, his dark red pupils deep and deep. He swallowed and his voice became a little hoarse.
"good."
I'll do whatever you say.
Long Yuan and Xiao Tengzi successfully concluded a contract with Ji Xiao.
As the former owner, Quan Jiu patted Long Yuan and Xiao Tengzi:
"Protect him for me."
The only thing that can effectively resist the divine calamity is a divine-level magical weapon like a divine weapon.
Ji Xiao's thin lips moved slightly, his eyes moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth.
She gave him the protective artifact without hesitation.
Lan Tingruo's own strength wasn't strong enough to allow her to walk freely in the Six Realms, but if she had Long Yuan and Xiao Tengzi protecting her, at least no one in the Six Realms would be able to hurt her...
Ji Xiao suddenly felt that she was really a little stupid.
In order to obtain a divine weapon, people in the six realms killed each other, disowned their relatives, and even killed their brothers and sisters, and even massacred the entire city.
But to her, the artifact seemed to be something insignificant.
Long Yuan and Xiao Tengzi both understood the mission they were shouldering and nodded heavily.
The thunder from the nine heavens arrived as promised.
Each bolt of lightning was as thick as a mountain, striking down head-on!
Quan Jiu was breathless under the pressure of the heavenly power. Looking at Ji Xiao who was wrapped in the thunder, she clenched her ten fingers hanging at her side...
It'll be fine.
must.
The thunder from the sky was getting louder and louder, and every time it came, it seemed as if it would kill the people in the formation.
