Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 903: Chapter 356: "How Many Divine Thunders Do You Have?!

"Who... who are you?!"

Ling Juexiao summoned back his flying sword with one hand, instinctively stepping back half a step, with a more cautious look in his eyes.

Ji Yuan also felt the pressure, as ever since this man in golden armor appeared, he felt a faint pressure.

This man... is most likely a late-stage Core Formation cultivator!

And the kind with extremely strong combat power, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to break through Xing Shuang’s protective spirit light in a single strike.

"The General of the Northern Expedition of Jin—Long Zhanye, I didn’t expect you to be alive, wasn’t it said you died at the hands of the Soul Refining Hall long ago?"

Xing Shuang recognized this person’s identity, and also introduced him to Ji Yuan via voice transmission:

"Long Zhanye, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, practices the arts of metal and earth, very strong in both attack and defense, in a moment, Ling Juexiao and I will take the main attack, you focus on dodging, strike if you can, if not, prioritize your safety."

"Alright."

Ji Yuan didn’t act superior, he responded and stepped back half a step.

If he was also mid-stage Core Formation, encountering this late-stage Long Zhanye would still be manageable; even if he couldn’t kill him, a draw might still be possible.

But now he was only early-stage Core Formation, which made it difficult... if this battle starts, the main attack would still rely on Xing Shuang and Ling Juexiao.

Ji Yuan thought about this, and summoned out his Yunque and Liuying swords again.

’This person doesn’t seem like a demon cultivator, so the power of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder is somewhat lessened... since he isn’t a demon cultivator, then I will have to act as one.’

Ji Yuan quietly watched the figure on the elevated platform.

"Ha, the mere Soul Refining Hall, worthy of refining this General’s divine soul? Pah!"

Long Zhanye spat, sneeringly said, "You little girl, hand over that seal quickly, and stay to serve me, you can still have a way to live."

"As for you two..."

Long Zhanye’s gaze swept over Ji Yuan and Ling Juexiao, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"Two useless men, can only go to die."

Ling Juexiao’s blood sword, sheathed behind him at some unknown time, suddenly sheathed slightly, its sword light sharp, murderous aura overflowing.

"Ha, I wondered who it was, turns out to be a rat in the street, hunted by the Soul Refining Hall, how is it, hiding in this gutter and thinking of becoming king now?"

Ling Juexiao mercilessly mocked.

And his words seemed to stab at Long Zhanye’s sore spot, as the old man in golden armor suddenly became furious.

"Courting death!"

With that said, he fiercely threw out the Fangtian Huaji in his hand.

"Thump—"

The great halberd plunged into the ground, Ling Juexiao turned into an escape light and flew out, shouting, "Daoist Xing, Daoist Changgeng, quickly join forces to kill this villain!"

With that said, he pinched a sword technique with his right hand, not hastily using his lifebound magical treasure but instead urged the blood-colored long sword he wore on his back.

The sword light slashed out, the seven-star appeared again!

Before he spoke, Xing Shuang had already made a move, bending a bow and not aiming at Long Zhanye atop the platform.

Instead, she aimed at the sky.

With a release of her right hand, the arrow shot out, drawing an arc, descending from the sky, directly attacking Long Zhanye in the field.

Seeing that both had made their move, Ji Yuan didn’t hesitate either. He pinched a sword technique with both hands and immediately activated the long-lost "Water Dragon Technique."

The start was still the third layer—Yin-Yang Transforming Dragon.

As the water dragon appeared, it split into two, transforming into a black dragon and a white dragon.

The white dragon coiled around Ji Yuan, while the black dragon swung its body, likewise charging toward Long Zhanye.

The three Core Formation cultivators acted simultaneously, for a moment, even the astral wind within the valley basin was dispersed.

In the middle of the platform, Long Zhanye didn’t panic at all when seeing this, casually recalled the great halberd, holding it with both hands behind him, in an instant, a phantom of a soil mountain appeared upon him.

The seven-star sword technique of Ling Juexiao was blocked by this soil mountain, yet it also shaved off most of its power.

The arrow shot by Xing Shuang descended from the sky, further blasting apart the remaining part of this soil mountain into pieces.

The white dragon called forth by Ji Yuan lastly wrapped around its body tightly, seemingly about to bite.

Long Zhanye sneered, suddenly exerting force, his golden armor emitted a dazzling golden light, instantly shredding the white dragon into pieces, dissolving it into Spiritual Qi and disappearing into the air.

"A bunch of trash!"

Long Zhanye laughed heartily, stomping his foot, his body suddenly rose from the ground, directly attacking Ling Juexiao in mid-air.

The latter was not flustered, fighting while retreating.

The blood-colored sword light constantly revolved around Long Zhanye, finding opportune moments to strike.

Xing Shuang continued to draw her bow restlessly.

Each arrow she shot hit Long Zhanye with precise accuracy.

Though the damage was not great, it made Long Zhanye extremely irritable.

Seeing he couldn’t catch up, he let out a low roar, and just as the golden wall of light upon him glowed, he charged downward toward Xing Shuang, bearing her arrows.

A shooter being closed in leaves no room for combat.

Xing Shuang knew this well.

So seeing Long Zhanye about to reach her, the originally white arrow in her hand suddenly turned green, hitting Long Zhanye once more as she did.

Long Zhanye’s speed slowed by a bit.

Slow Arrow!

Taking the opportunity, she transformed into escape light and left.

As for Ji Yuan, he had already hidden far away a while ago.

The honorable late-stage Core Formation, trying to kill two mid-stage Core Formation cultivators, couldn’t even manage to close in.

Long Zhanye seemed angered.

He let out a low roar, as the golden light upon him almost solidified, resolving Xing Shuang’s arrows as he swung the great halberd with both hands, suddenly splitting into two streaks of golden light.

"Hiss—"

The golden light spread in mid-air, its speed so fast it nearly instantly arrived in front of Ling Juexiao and Xing Shuang.

"Hah—"

Ling Juexiao watched the great halberd come at him, hastily recalled the flying sword to block by his side.
