Chapter 261: How About We Stop Here?

Mid-air.

Mu Lingxi and the other three noticed Ye Lingyun's departure, and a flash of regret crossed their faces.

This guy seemed to have sensed something; he had actually slipped away decisively.

Too slippery.

Ji Ruan, who had already been gathering an attack, was stunned after noticing the departure of Ye Lingyun and the refined woman.

"Young Master Ji, something seems wrong."

Behind Ji Ruan, one of his two Nascent Soul Stage subordinates frowned.

"Indeed, something is not quite right. These people left too suddenly, as if they had sensed something," the other Nascent Soul Stage subordinate also nodded.

Ji Ruan looked at Mu Lingxi and the other three, saying coldly, "Attack together, take them down as quickly as possible."

"Understood!"

Behind Ji Ruan, five subordinates, including the two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, nodded in unison.

Just as they were about to make their move.

Three waves of Spiritual Power suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

Ji Ruan and the others looked over subconsciously.

Immediately, they saw from afar three figures approaching at high speed.

"One Nascent Soul Early Stage, one Golden Core Stage Perfection, one Golden Core Mid Stage."

Ji Ruan's expression shifted, but he did not show much apprehension.

A moment later.

The three figures arrived.

The newcomers were two men and one woman.

Among the two men.

One had a tall, upright build, with skin so fair it would make women jealous.

One had a slender, petite build, also with delicate skin and extraordinary handsomeness.

Ji Ruan's gaze swept over the tall, upright man and then landed on the slender, handsome figure, his eyes brightening.

This appearance was actually more exquisite than the vast majority of women!

A strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at the only woman among the three, his eyes lighting up instantly.

The woman's features were extremely exquisite; she was also a Superior Grade beauty.

What surprised him even more was that the woman exuded a pure temperament, a quality rarely seen among cultivators.

Afterward, he looked at Mu Lingxi and the other three, feeling extremely excited.

In daily life, beauties of this caliber were hard to come by.

Now, he had actually encountered five at once.

Today was simply his lucky day!

"Senior Brother, you've finally come."

"If you hadn't come, we would have been snatched away to be toyed with."

Just then, Mu Lingxi's aggrieved voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing this, Ji Ruan followed Mu Lingxi's line of sight, looked at the tall, upright man, and raised an eyebrow.

This person is her Senior Brother?

"What? Are you here to save them?"

He stared at Wang Jianqiang, a sneer appearing on his face.

"A mere Golden Core Stage cultivator, and I don't know where you dragged a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator from."

"You actually dare to play the hero saving the beauty?"

Hearing Ji Ruan's words, Wang Jianqiang frowned, "Who are you?"

"His name is Ji Ruan; his mother probably sensed something and gave him that name based on certain characteristics of his."

Before Ji Ruan could respond, Mu Lingxi suddenly said with a giggle.

Ji Ruan's expression immediately turned gloomy.

What he hated most was someone using his name to mock him.

"Bitch, just keep being stubborn."

He looked at Mu Lingxi coldly, then looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Stupid thing, next, what I, Ji, want to tell you is that you won't be able to take any of these four away."

"Besides that, your life, and those two as well, will all fall into my hands."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Xuan and Yang Wanxin, the greed in his eyes undisguised.

Jiang Xuan and Yang Wanxin immediately frowned.

"Senior Brother, you saw that, right?"

"This person is too hateful; he just said I was being stubborn."

"I am not stubborn at all, Senior Brother knows that best, don't you think?"

At this moment, Mu Lingxi's sweet, coquettish voice came again.

A vein throbbed on Wang Jianqiang's forehead as he glared at Mu Lingxi, "Dead girl, shut up."

Mu Lingxi giggled and closed her mouth.

Wang Jianqiang took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Ji Ruan, "That... what-Ruan? How do you want to die?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, a flash of killing intent crossed Ji Ruan's face, "You ignorant thing, do you really think that just because you have a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator with you, I, Ji, can't do anything to you?"

As he spoke, he looked at the two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators behind him, "Go and tear his mouth apart for me."

Sensing Ji Ruan's anger, the two did not dare to delay and instantly charged out.

One person rushed toward Jiang Xuan, intending to stop her from helping Wang Jianqiang.

The other, with an icy expression, charged straight toward Wang Jianqiang.

Watching the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator charging over, a cold glint flashed in Wang Jianqiang's eyes.

Dharma Heaven and Earth and Pure Yang Power were activated simultaneously.

His figure suddenly expanded, transforming into a giant.

Golden Light erupted from his body, and the Spirit Pattern Power within him surged exponentially.

He threw a punch, and the force of the blow surged out like a deluge.

Not only was the person charging at him covered by the punch's force, but even the person charging at Jiang Xuan was caught in it.

The next moment.

The two were sent flying backward at an even faster speed, coughing up blood continuously along the way and scattering a large amount of blood.

"This..."

"How is this possible!"

This scene directly terrified Ji Ruan and the remaining three subordinates.

Those were two Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators.

And they were not ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators.

Even within this Desolate City, these two could be considered top-tier geniuses.

Their combat power was formidable.

Yet, these two powerful individuals were almost beaten to death by a single punch from a Golden Core Stage Cultivator!

Isn't this too fake?

If he didn't know their true capabilities, he would have even thought they were acting in coordination with the other party.

Run!

After coming to his senses, Ji Ruan's first reaction was to use Instant Movement to escape.

The two heavily injured Nascent Soul Cultivators also had horrified expressions and subconsciously wanted to use Instant Movement to escape.

However, just at the moment they were about to use Instant Movement to leave.

Mu Lingxi's expression turned cold.

She threw a punch, and the formidable power caused the Space Power of this world to instantly fluctuate.

The Space Power the three had just gathered was directly disrupted.

The Instant Movement failed.

"Well done."

Wang Jianqiang cast an appreciative look at Mu Lingxi.

His figure flickered and appeared beside Ji Ruan.

Ji Ruan was shocked and summoned a Flying Sword to stab at Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang did not dodge or evade; the Golden Light on his body flowed like water, transforming into a suit of golden armor.

Clang!

The Flying Sword landed on the armor, only sparking a sound like metal colliding, without leaving the slightest mark on the armor.

"Are you scratching an itch for me?"

Wang Jianqiang chuckled and grabbed Ji Ruan by the neck.

At this moment, the toughness previously on Ji Ruan's face was completely gone.

Looking at Wang Jianqiang in terror, "You cannot kill me; my elder brother is Ji Zhangkong. If you kill me, he will definitely not let you off."

Ji Zhangkong?

Wang Jianqiang frowned.

This name sounded somewhat familiar.

He rarely paid attention to the powerful figures in Desolate City, so he was not very familiar with these people's names.

After pondering for a moment, he remembered.

When he had previously looked at the Desolate Ranking, he seemed to have seen this name.

Was it ranked second or something?

He couldn't quite remember.

After all, he had only taken a casual look at the time and hadn't deliberately memorized those names on the Desolate Ranking.

The only thing he had an impression of was that the other party's ranking was not low.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang lost in thought.

Ji Ruan thought Wang Jianqiang was hesitating, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face, "Daoist Friend, it is better to resolve grievances than to keep them. Although I, Ji, was in the wrong first, I didn't cause any harm to your Junior Sister, did I?"

"How about..."

"How about we let today's matter end here?"
