Chapter 266: It was Ji You who killed!

The evil seed body is powerful, with infinite strength, far beyond the Barbarian race.

And the human race is the weakest existence among the three races.

The geniuses earlier had already experienced that desperate power and speed, especially Tu Ri, who was smashed down by a jump in the air while fleeing, and the terrifying big pit on his chest was already black and red and purple at this moment.

But at this moment, with Ji You's sword slash, the Bu family's second son, who made everyone feel desperate with his power, fell off the cliff with a bang.

At that moment, he felt the energy coming towards him as if the sky had collapsed.

Clang!

The biting sword energy was like a thunder slash above the frost sky, pressing the Bu Sheng's evilized rigid body and smashing it fiercely into the bottom of the valley.

The strong sword energy cut open the soil waves set off by the melee in the valley, so that looking down from the air, a clear vacuum appeared in the smoke.

In the field, countless geniuses instantly opened their mouths wide, and even Huo Hong, who had lost his light, had his pupils enlarged at this moment.

Boom!

Yan Qiubai, who was pinched by Bu the eldest, was thrown to the ground, and at the same time, a flying black shadow knocked Ji You, who was slashing for the second time, into the air.

Amidst the huge sound of breaking ancient trees and mountain rocks, Ji You's figure flying horizontally was submerged by the dust and sand rising.

Bu the eldest, with his ferocity exposed, landed heavily, then looked up to the sky and roared, his roar full of anger.

At the same time, Bu the second, who was fiercely slashed down the mountain cliff, also climbed up.

His left shoulder collapsed, and the white bones were exposed between the skin and flesh.

The two brothers looked in the direction where the dust waves were rising, and the ferocity in their eyes constantly surged.

He could vaguely recognize that the person who came down from the mountain cliff was the top of the Profound Understanding list at the Heavenly Dao Assembly back then.

Having obtained the immortal fate, he had always looked down on the Xian Sect disciples, and even more looked down on the rural private cultivators.

Because they, the Bu family, were still an immortal sect family even if they were declined, and Ji You was an alien who jumped to this place in their eyes.

Remembering when he was lurking at the Heavenly Dao Assembly to watch the battle, he and the second one also said that he could kill him with one punch. He didn't expect that he would suffer a loss in one encounter today.

"Young Master!"

On the mountain cliff, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu shouted, their hearts already mentioned to their throats.

There is an old saying in Qingyun that care leads to chaos, so even if they had incomparable confidence in Ji You's combat power, they couldn't help but feel nervous.

And hearing this "Young Master" in a moment of anxiety, countless geniuses in the field looked at them in astonishment.

Just at this moment, a figure slowly stood up in the dust and smoke.

There are two known types of evil seeds: one is the evil seed from the ruins that has no thoughts at all.

The other is like the Bu family members, who can switch between human bodies and retain consciousness.

But if you subdivide it, Ji You feels that even if they are all Bu family members, they are different from each other.

Although the Bu family disciples used as bait also have thoughts, they are often affected by baleful energy, and they are not completely rational when the ferocity enters their brains.

But this pair of Bu family brothers has obvious differences. 【2

They were not as heavily affected by the baleful intent, and their physical sturdiness and strength were stronger than those Bu family disciples he had killed earlier.

Ji You gripped the three-foot-long blade in his hand, his arm tensed like a heavy black-iron bow, and then he stepped on the ground, arriving with a humming whistle.

At the same time, a snow-bright sword Qi rose up, slashing fiercely toward the eldest Bu brother, the heavy sword intent pressing down so hard that the mountains trembled.

Seeing this scene, the baleful aura around Bu Yao's body became incomparably turbulent, covering his entire body like mucus, and a pair of sinister, venomous claws met it fiercely.

At almost the same moment, the second Bu brother lunged out from another direction, killing toward Ji You.

The previous savage collision had stretched the distance between them quite far, to the point that the sword Qi and the ambush had to cross half the distance of the valley.

And as that snow-bright sword Qi cut down, the eldest Bu brother, who had been traveling ten miles in an instant amidst the gale, suddenly felt that something was wrong.

That sword strike Ji You made on the cliff used pure strength, with no aura leaking out.

Not until he was about to collide with that sword strike like a meteor could he feel what kind of sword it was.

Boom!

Like the collapse of mountains, the eldest Bu brother felt a sharp pain between his arms as if he were being torn apart alive, and his whole body flew out horizontally.

Ji You's blood and Qi kept boiling, his robust body as scorching as a ball of fire; he stepped off the ground and rose, swinging his sword with the intention of beheading him.

However, at the very moment he leaped into the air, the second Bu brother, who had been ambushing him, had already arrived before him, his claws wrapped in killing intent slashing through the air.

This scene was actually very similar to the scene where Tu Ri intended to escape but was pressed down from the air by him.

But as those claws attacked, what met them was a pair of slender left hands with slightly visible knuckles, which clamped his wrists fiercely; the explosive sound between the two colliding was deafening.

Ji You's right hand had originally been holding the sword to slash horizontally at Bu Yao, but now, after clamping Bu Sheng, the sword stance was broken.

So he suddenly let go, and the iron sword, filled with sword Qi, floated in the air with a violent tremor.

Ji You pulled Bu Sheng, his right hand, which had delivered the sword, clenched into a fist, scorching energy whistling continuously between his arms, and smashed it down fiercely.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bu Sheng's chest emitted a series of dull sounds during the collision, and then it collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the powerful and scorching energy penetrated his body, causing a hole to be punched through the baleful aura on his back, and the cloth garment he was wearing was torn to shreds.

The light in Bu Sheng's eyes had already faded rapidly, and the baleful aura on his body was also constantly dissipating.

However, his sinister, venomous claws still followed the body's consciousness, grabbing toward Ji You's face.

But before he could slash down, his hand bones were directly smashed by the incoming punch, and the broken bones instantly pierced through his skin.

"You clearly haven't broken through the Realm of Profound Understanding yet..."

"You're right."

"Why is your body stronger than ours..."

"High-quality men are all like this."

He Lingxiu, a direct disciple of the Zizai Hall, is inviting everyone to drink tea and is chatting about this matter.

Ji You swung his arm, pinning Bu Sheng and throwing a punch, directly smashing him into a deep pit.

Then, as he opened his hand outward, the Dao sword returned to his hand amidst a humming sound; with a "swish," the blade cut down fiercely, and amidst a spray of wild blood, Bu Sheng's neck was severed at the root.

At this moment, Ji You raised his eyes, his pupils surging with golden spirit like flowing liquid, and then he took his sword and flew up, leaping fiercely toward the mountain forest not far away.

In the dense forest, Bu Yao, in the form of an evil seed, was fleeing frantically toward the west, the howling baleful aura tainting the entire mountain forest.

He was not a person who would abandon his family, but he knew that if he stayed, they would all die.

But as a wave of scorching heat approached, what greeted him was another heavy sword Qi like the opening of the heavens, as well as the graceful figure slashing his sword from mid-air.

That guy was clearly just a man who looked like a scholar...

The eldest Bu brother opened his terrified blood-red eyes, looking at the swordsman before him as if seeing a colossal beast.

Boom!

In the mountain forest, sword light rose, and the baleful aura that had been swaying the forest just a moment ago was instantly slashed open, accompanied by an air-burst sound that pierced the clouds.

The next second, a broken body fell from the air, smashing fiercely into the bottom of the valley, which was already full of pits.

That was Bu Yao's body, in a shattered state from his neck to his chest.

As the baleful aura dissipated, those cracks turned into horrific wounds, continuously overflowing with fresh blood.

And his neck was completely empty, clearly having had his head severed.

At this time, Ji You walked over from the gloomy mountain forest, carrying the long sword in his hand; during the process, his hair crown got caught on a tree branch, and he helplessly spent a long time untangling it.

In fact, from the moment Ji You appeared until the dust settled, it was only a matter of the blink of an eye.

In the eyes of the crowd, the whole process was Ji You swinging his sword to slash Bu Yao away, then smashing Bu Sheng to pieces, and severing two heads.

And the scorching, piercing aura on his body had not yet dissipated, giving the geniuses present a palpitating feeling like watching a fierce tiger emerging from the forest.

Having untangled the tree branch caught on his hair crown, he walked under a towering ancient tree and looked down at Bu Hui, who was sitting slumped on the ground.

Bu Hui was truly terrified this time.

He had not expected that in the blink of an eye, his own eldest brother and second brother would both be decapitated.

At this moment, the third Bu brother looked up at him, pinching the corner of his clothes with trembling hands: "Don't kill me, I can tell you anything you want to ask."

"Really?"

"I'm a coward, I'm most afraid of death, I will definitely tell you!"

Then that powerful arm was like a fully drawn round bow, suddenly cutting off the head of the other one. The white-clothed figure stepped off the ground, and as the iron sword in his hand fell, not only did it take off the last head, but it also shattered the blue rock at the bottom of the valley into slag.

Because just a moment ago, he had felt an aura flash quietly and then disappear rapidly.

Ji You quietly regained his composure, and while pondering, he raised his sword and lightly swept it across his neck.

Bu Hui looked down in a daze, only to see large amounts of blood blooming on his chest...

Seeing that the other party had lost his breath, Ji You reached into his bosom, took out a money bag, and then turned to look at Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu: "Found the location, let's go."

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu immediately bowed: "Yes!"

Bu Qirong would rather risk being discovered to divert the Immortal Sect's attention and send his three sons out, which shows that he really dotes on his sons.

Therefore, when he killed the three Bu sons, a trace of uncontrollable aura was exposed; although it was quickly hidden again, it confirmed to Ji You that they were nearby.

In the gloomy mountain forest, Ji You led Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu through it continuously.

However, by the time they arrived at the location he had sensed earlier, it was already completely silent, without a single figure.

"Young Master, it seems the people are no longer here."

"It doesn't matter, there aren't many places left for them to hide in the current location; they will definitely be found, it will just take a little time."

Ji You sensed the surroundings in a circle, then looked at Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu: "Do you want to find a place to sleep for a while?" Ding Yao, with dark circles under her eyes, shook her head seriously: "It's fine, we aren't sleepy."

"Really?"

"Really..."

"Truly a femme fatale..."

Ji You muttered, then felt several auras beginning to head in the direction of this place; after a frown, he quickly left the area.

【Ji You hasn't broken through the realm? I thought he could be ranked alongside us.】

【He cannot get involved in the affairs of the Dongping Mountain Range; coming here is no different from seeking death...】

After Ji You left, the dust settled in the empty, silent valley.

The crowd, covered in wounds, sat on the ground, staring blankly at the three corpses on the ground.

Their injuries were all very serious, and some had even exhausted their spiritual essence in the previous battle; at this moment, they were completely unable to move, and the only thing they could move was their spiritual sense.

Ji You came and went like the wind, suddenly appearing from the mountain forest, forcefully suppressing and killing the three people after descending the mountain like a fierce tiger, and then whistling away.

If this place weren't already full of pits and lying with three corpses, they would even suspect if it were a dream.

But the scorching-hot physique, the sword Dao with the momentum of splitting the heavens, the iron fists like a god beating a drum, and that posture of suppressing all directions were firmly branded in their minds.

Jiang Yan was clutching her chest at this moment, the figure of the circular sword strike repeating continuously in her mind.

Huo Hong and Jiang Chenfeng kept substituting themselves into the scene, only to realize in the end that the Ji You from just now seemed to be the version of themselves they had imagined for the future.

"What... what realm is he actually in now?"

Xie Chenyu coughed up a mouthful of blood, a question issuing from his hoarse throat.

Yes, what realm is he in now?

No one knows this, but their eldest and second Bu brothers were indeed in the Realm of Responding to Heaven, plus their bodies after evil transformation...

Thinking of this, the crowd fell into silence.

The two Bu brothers, through their evil-transformed bodies, had combat power that could almost reach the Middle Realm of Responding to Heaven, and attacking together made them even harder to deal with.

Yet Ji You, in only a short amount of time, killed both of them with a posture of suppression.

Then, what realm his combat power is currently in, no one dares to think.

Jiang Chenfeng looked at Bu Hui's corpse at this moment: "The money bag..."

"?"

"The corpses found earlier didn't have money bags on them, but there were torn money bag strings."

Hearing these words from Jiang Chenfeng, the crowd was stunned again, then their eyes widened further, the image of Ji You dragging away Bu Hui's money bag appearing in their minds, and they understood what Jiang Chenfeng meant.

Those Bu family disciples found earlier were all killed by him.

He had arrived at the Dongping Mountain Range long ago, had been hiding in it all along, and then killed his way to this point.

Huo Hong, with his broken legs, and Xie Chenyu, with his whole body fractured, were lying flat on the ground at this moment, listening to the discussion in their ears, their eyes seeming to become hollow.

And in the time that followed, no one spoke again, remaining silent along with the mountain forest here.

Not long after, some people began to become delirious due to their injuries, falling into a coma in a daze.

I don't know how much time passed, but a noisy exclamation sounded from above the cliff, waking the silent mountain forest.

"..."

"There are people in the mountains!"

"It's Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Sister Yan and the others!"

"Someone is injured, notify the Elder quickly!"

"..."

The evil seeds of the Dongping Mountain Range had their ferocity activated, rushing out of the ruins and howling through the entire vast mountain forest, to the point that the rhythm of the entire search was disrupted.

During this time, everyone in the Immortal Sect retreated to the Falling Eagle Gorge.

Because the evil seeds had no thinking and were not afraid of injury, coupled with their vast numbers, countless people were injured and brought back by their fellow disciples.

And also rescued were Jiang Chenfeng and Huo Hong.

In fact, if the evil seeds hadn't suddenly rushed out of the ruins, their act of privately changing the search range—clearly different Immortal Sect disciples gathering together and acting contrary to the crowd—would definitely have been suspected.

But it was precisely because of this sudden, massive chaos that they were given an excuse, so everyone insisted that the corpse tide had scattered them, which was why they had gathered together.

The disciples who discovered them and brought them back believed it, but that didn't prevent others from not believing it.

Because there was one question they still needed to explain clearly, and that was the extremely serious injuries on their bodies.

Ordinary evil seeds could not cause such serious injuries to the Realm of Merging with the Dao, let alone break the legs of Huo Hong, who had already touched the threshold of the Realm of Responding to Heaven.

Most crucially, the corpses of the three Bu sons were also found by them, which also required an explanation.

They had searched the vast Dongping Mountain Range for a month; this was the first time they had seen the core figures of the Bu family, and as a result, there wasn't a single living person, only corpses.

For these Elders whose lifespans were nearing their end, as well as the big figures waiting for news in the mountains, this was an intolerable matter.

In the valley where the campfire leaped, the Elders of each sect stood with their hands behind their backs, their majestic auras swaying continuously, pressing down with thick momentum upon the crowd, who didn't have a single intact spot on their bodies.

"We met near Falling Eagle Gorge at that time, talked for a long time, and then separated, but we ended up encountering evil seeds, so we gathered together again on the way to retreat."

"Originally, we intended to look for other people while walking, but we accidentally encountered the three people from the Bu family and suffered an ambush."

"We should have reported this matter immediately, but the evil seeds disrupted everyone's positions, and we didn't even know where the communication disciples were."

"But regardless, this is the disciple's fault, please punish us, Elder."

Jiang Chenfeng's expression was very sincere; after finishing his words, he raised his head, looking at the sharp gaze of his own Elder.

This person was Shang Yang, the Chief Elder of the Asking Dao Sect, a clan uncle of the current Abbot of the Asking Dao Sect, and was already over two hundred years old.

Before coming to the Dongping Mountain Range, he had already been in seclusion in the mountains for decades; his body was already full of the aura of decay, clearly showing he had reached his end.

At this moment, he raised that face crisscrossed with gullies and stared intently at Jiang Chenfeng, speaking after a long silence: "What realm are these three Bu family members actually in, to be able to injure you all like this?"

"They were at the Initial Realm of Responding to Heaven, plus evil transformation, and with the two of them working together, they should have had the combat power of the Middle Realm of Responding to Heaven."

"Nonsense!"

Shang Yang looked at him with a venomous gaze: "If they were truly in the Middle Realm of Responding to Heaven, relying on just you all, how could you have killed all three of them?!"

Jiang Chenfeng opened his mouth: "It wasn't us, it was Ji You who killed them."

"Who?"

"A disciple of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan."

Because there were no Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples in this group that acted contrary to the arrangements, Elder Fang and Elder Ge were not in this list.

So Shang Yang straightened his back and looked at the disciple beside him: "Go, invite Elder Fang of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan."

"Yes!"

In fact, the people of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan had discovered early on that except for them and the Chen Clan, all the Elders had gathered together, suspecting that they had some news.

At this moment, hearing that someone had come to invite them, they immediately went happily.

And when they arrived, they found that the Elders of each sect were looking at them with a strange expression.

Amidst the whispering, the two words "Ji You" could be vaguely heard.

Qin Rong and Ji Jingyao of the Administrative Court also followed here and were waiting outside.

After a long time, Elder Fang and Elder Ge walked out from among them; the expressions on their faces were obscure, but suspicion and solemnity could be seen in their eyes.

"I discussed with you earlier about sending more manpower; is Ji You among them?"

Qin Rong was a bit puzzled, not understanding why the people of the Asking Dao Sect inviting them would have anything to do with sending more manpower, but after hearing the inquiry, he still spoke: "We did indeed ask, but Ji You is not in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan."

Elder Ge stepped forward: "When did he leave?"

"Around the Cold Dew solar term."

"How is that possible..."

Qin Rong and Elder Ge looked at each other: "Two Elders, what exactly happened?"

Elder Fang raised his head: "Several disciples from other Immortal Sects encountered the three sons of Bu Qirong on the east side of Falling Eagle Gorge and had a fight, but because they all returned alive, the Elders of the other sects didn't believe their account."

"Why is that?"

"Because the combat power of those two people had almost reached the Upper Realm of Responding to Heaven, and the strongest among these people had only just touched the threshold of the Realm of Responding to Heaven, yet they survived, while the three sons of Bu Qirong died."

Qin Rong frowned instantly after hearing this: "This is indeed impossible, but why invite the two of you?"

Elder Fang was silent for a moment, raising his sharp eyes.

"Because they said that Ji You suddenly appeared to save them and killed the three Bu family members with his sword."

"The Elders of each sect interrogated them separately and found that their descriptions of the battle process were exactly the same, and they even all mentioned him punching through the chest of the second Bu brother with three punches, as well as stealing the third Bu brother's money bag."

"That scene must have been incomparably profound for them..."
