Chapter 366 The time to break through has arrived!
"It was indeed because of my murderous intent!"
The woman's words stunned not only Ye Jing on the other side, but also Yue Cheng and the others.
The woman's voice was calm and decisive, seemingly carrying the battle cries of someone from a desolate battlefield:
“Senior, I don’t want to lie. Every time I encounter demons in the wilderness, I always charge forward without fear, spear in hand.”
"He attempted to slaughter the entire demon race all by himself."
Ye Jing's eyes changed slightly, and he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Greed knows no bounds!"
Ji Jinjin looked at the old man and said, "Senior, you are a role model for the human race, guarding Luoxia Pass for many years..."
"This junior does not believe that the senior has never had this thought."
Ye Jing felt as if someone had found a weakness in him, and he wanted to say no, but in the end he didn't say it.
Ji Jinjin did not threaten Ye Jing, but continued speaking.
"Senior's killing intent has been directed only at the demon race since the beginning of my cultivation. If senior wishes to cripple my path, then I must decline!"
The spear in Ji Jinjin's hand drew a pale streak of light through the air, resembling a crescent moon against the blood-red sky.
"Senior, I'm so sorry!"
"Mysterious Fiend!"
Ji Jinjin let out a low shout, and the blood seeping from where her right hand gripped the gun was quickly absorbed by the gun barrel. The demonic thought that had been dormant for a long time slowly rose up and emerged from the dark gun barrel, coiling into a strange demonic shadow behind the woman.
Ye Jing looked at that demonic thought and felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
The moment the demonic shadow appeared, Ji Jinjin's aura of malevolence and killing intent surged.
Lightning streamed and strands of energy danced, making him appear like a true god of death.
Ye Jing still wanted to know the origin of that demonic shadow, but the current situation left him no time to think about it or recall it.
After releasing the demonic shadow within the Xuan Sha Spear, Ji Jinjin's speed increased, and her spear techniques became much bolder than before, managing to fight Ye Jing to a standstill.
Ye Jing's voice was tinged with laughter: "This is the strength that a chosen one of heaven should have. What happened just now? Was that demon suppressing you?"
No sooner had the old man finished speaking than a dark figure silently floated up behind him, eyeing his remnant soul with great covetousness, and took a bite out of it.
The murderous aura emanating from Ye Jing transformed into a ferocious tiger's head, which opened its maw and bit down on the demonic shadow.
The demonic shadow was instantly bitten apart and slowly flew behind Ji Jinjin.
Ye Jing deflected the spear thrust at him by the woman in front of him, his voice laced with mockery:
"Keeping this thing around is a double-edged sword. If you use it against others, you will eventually suffer the consequences."
As Si Yaochuan watched the broadcast, Xue Tong spoke softly, "He probably doesn't know that this traitor was deliberately arranged by you, right?"
Xue Lan, standing to the side, hugged her knees and said, "It's not just this Senior Ye Jing; very few people in the Yuanming Lower Realm know my thoughts."
Xue Tong nodded: "Is it because you're a bit crazy?"
Xue Lan nodded: "You're a promising young man. Keep watching. This senior is a good person."
So the two of them, like two magpies huddled together, continued to watch what was happening over there.
Upon hearing Ye Jing's words, Ji Jinjin's expression changed slightly.
The woman wanted to explain, but the shadowy figure beside her didn't give her a chance.
The demonic image resembled a ferocious beast's head, and right in front of Ye Jing, it bit directly at Ji Jinjin's head.
"Auntie!"
Ling Yuanzi's anxious voice came from behind, followed by a shrill sword cry.
But it is already late.
Ling Yuanzi watched as the demonic shadow emerging from the spear nearly swallowed the woman's upper body whole, about to bite down.
"Master!"
A calm voice came from beside him: "I'm fine!"
The old man twitched his fingertips slightly, and the Cloud Chasing Sword stopped in mid-air.
Ling Yuanzi's heart clenched for a moment, but she still decided to believe Ji Jinjin.
"Draw thunder!"
A woman's cold voice rang out, and in front of Ye Jing, a bolt of deep blue lightning fell from the sky, striking the dark, demonic figure directly.
"Ahhhh!"
A shrill scream echoed throughout the cave. Blue lightning ignited on the demonic shadow's body, and it slowly began to dissipate with a scream. The dissipating demonic energy tried to escape into the sky, but it was absorbed back by the shaft of the Xuan Sha Spear.
Amidst the dissipating demonic energy, Ye Jing saw Ji Jinjin's bright and beautiful face.
The old man began to laugh, first a hoarse chuckle, then a wild, unrestrained laugh:
"I understand!" Ye Jing's aged finger pointed at the black spear in Ji Jinjin's hand, his voice trembling with barely suppressed laughter:
"This is your lock!"
Ling Yuanzi, standing in front of Yuecheng, watched Ji Jinjin's retreating figure in mid-air:
"Lock……"
"Lan Lan..."
"You knew all along that Auntie would have murderous thoughts? Xue Lan, you're amazing!"
The girl next to her jumped up excitedly and patted Xue Lan on the shoulder, causing the four people around her to turn their heads to look at her.
Wu Yijun asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Xue Tong shrank her neck and shook her head: "It's nothing, it's nothing."
The girl slowly sat back down next to Xue Lan and spoke in a low voice:
"Did you already know this?"
Xue Lan smiled gently: "I don't know."
Xue Tong didn't believe it! She looked at Xue Lan with a suspicious gaze.
Xue Lan said helplessly, "I'm not being proactive; you overestimate my abilities."
Xue Tong was somewhat indignant:
"Did I overestimate your abilities? You are already very capable!"
Xue Lan: "That makes sense!"
Xue Tong knew ten years ago that the Wolf King sometimes liked to be praised.
Xue Lan spoke softly: "I'm not being presumptuous, I just know that Auntie will never be reckless with killing."
The woman's expression was gentle, like a gentle spring breeze:
"Do you still remember what Auntie said when she chose her path?"
Xue Tong has a bad memory, but he can look up his own documents.
After a few breaths, the girl spoke softly:
"Thunder governs killing and also the resurrection of life!"
"Yes!" Xue Lan's voice carried a hint of pride:
"Spring thunder brings forth all things to grow!"
"Thunder governs killing and also controls resurrection."
Xue Tong quickly voiced her thoughts: "To the demon race, Jin Jin is a ruthless killing god, but to the human and demon races..."
"She is the thunder of spring, sweeping away evil spirits, leading the charge, and forging ahead bravely!"
General Ji!
Xue Lan nodded slowly, a faint smile playing on her lips:
"Xiao Tong, don't look at the people of Yuanming Realm through Xue Lan's eyes."
Xue Tong was stunned for a moment, staring fixedly at Xue Lan's gray-white eyes.
Ye Jing, inside the desolate grotto, laughed loudly, then clenched his fist and bowed to Ji Jinjin:
"I was just being presumptuous before; young friend, you already have your own methods!"
"Your will remains steadfast even within the illusion!"
"Throughout this battle, you have always restrained your murderous intent!"
"Young friend, I am not as good as you!"
Faint red light rose from the old man's body, making him look like a piece of Xuan paper that was gradually burned out.
Ji Jinjin took a step forward: "Senior..."
Ye Jing slowly shook his head: "I have been lingering in this secret realm for hundreds of years, and it is time for me to leave."
The old man slowly waved his hand, and the dark red armor not far behind him came to Ji Jinjin's side.
"This is a secret treasure that I collected before my death. It could withstand an attack from a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. However, it was damaged during the great battle with that Demon Lord Xuan Shuo."
"I'm giving this to my young friend now, so your senior sister can fix it!"
"Thank you, senior!" Ji Jinjin said hastily, then spoke very quickly:
“Senior, that Demon Lord Xuan Shuo was killed by Senior Lei Kui twelve years ago. The demonic thought in my spear comes from his demonic soul!”
Ye Jing, whose only remaining head was standing, was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"I knew it! He's just a mere demon. In my Yuanming Realm, there will be someone who will make sure he never returns!"
"Little friend!"
The old man's voice softened, and before his figure completely vanished, he suddenly spoke:
"The time to break through has come!"
Upon hearing Ye Jing's voice, everyone realized that the blood-red clouds above their heads had dissipated, and the bright moon was shining in the sky.
A faint golden aura of the Heavenly Dao descended from the sky like a light veil and landed in Ji Jinjin's outstretched hand.
A gentle evening breeze blew, and the moonlight shone like water.
Ji Jinjin suddenly clenched her fist, and the aura of the Heavenly Dao rose along with the woman's aura, exploding when she reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, like a sky full of shooting stars.
The woman turned around gracefully, her dark hair swaying, her brocade robe fluttering, exuding a youthful and imposing air that drew envy from onlookers.
She addressed Ling Yuanzi and the others, her voice solemn and resonant, like thunder:
"Master, everyone!"
"We will live up to your expectations!"
