Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1041 - 383: Encountering the Nine Towers Soul-Suppressing Sutra Again!

Ji Yuan glanced at him upon hearing this, but said nothing.

Having decided to make a move, then act!

Why all the dawdling and dithering!

The villain perishes from talking too much, Ji Yuan felt like a villain at this moment!

So he pointed a finger, and the Yin Corpse Demon Fire transformed into a long fiery serpent, flying towards Xu Qing.

Xu Qing panicked, immediately forming a hand seal with both hands, summoning a magic iron rod, single-handedly wielding it with his right hand, and smashing it toward the fiery serpent in front of him.

The Demon Fire split in two, right down the middle.

Just as Xu Qing was exerting all his effort to raise his Protective Spirit Light, he realized the split Yin Corpse Demon Fire was surging past him, eventually transforming into a long straight serpent, blocking the rotten corpses chasing behind him.

This Demon Fire... isn’t killing me?!

As soon as Xu Qing formed this thought, he noticed four Flying Swords of varying colors but all imbued with lightning appear close to him, simultaneously attacking from four directions, blocking all his paths.

"Not good!"

He realized things weren’t well, and fiercely smashed the iron rod forward while blood light emanated from him.

"Too late."

Ji Yuan’s icy voice echoed beside his ear as suddenly a "crackling" sound resounded, the fastest Flying Sword sweeping to the top of his head. Though stopped by his Protective Spirit Light, the purple lightning it unleashed broke through the Protective Spirit Light in one hit, some of the lightning striking him and causing his body to shudder.

The Escape Technique he was about to perform dissipated instantly.

Having hit the mark, naturally continue the pursuit for victory!

Ji Yuan immediately, with a Heart Thought, activated the Purple Sky Divine Thunder on the remaining three Flying Swords.

"Boom——"

Thunder poured forth, and Xu Qing, with his Protective Spirit Light already shattered, was entirely powerless to resist. After a single scream, he was utterly devoured by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

"You... you... this is... Purple Sky..."

Xu Qing’s eyes widened in desperation, his last will to survive prompting him to struggle to speak.

But ultimately he failed; the spark in his eyes faded, his entire aura waned in an instant, until it completely vanished.

Ji Yuan still waited for a moment, ensuring he was truly dead, before recalling the Flying Swords with a Heart Thought.

Yet, just as he retrieved the Flying Swords and the divine thunder gradually dissipated, he saw a sudden burst of green light from Xu Qing’s corpse, flying toward due south at tremendous speed.

In just a blink of an eye.

He seemed to have escaped a hundred miles, completely breaking free.

His heart was overwhelmed with the joy of surviving against the odds, but before his happiness could settle, he found a semblance of a giant hand appearing before him.

A massive hand, blocking out the sky and sun, descended from above, clutching him tightly, rendering him immobile.

"No..."

"No!"

Xu Qing’s Divine Soul hidden within the scarecrow struggled frantically, but within this Mana prison.

It proved entirely futile.

"You’re not Core Formation, you are Nascent Soul! You are a Nascent Soul Cultivator!"

"Senior, spare me, I, Xu Qing, have never provoked you, please spare me for the sake of my Celestial Killer Mountain."

Xu Qing pleaded frantically.

The scene before his eyes shattered inch by inch, and when he came to, he realized... he hadn’t moved at all.

Let alone escape hundreds of miles, now his corpse was right beside him, the rotten corpses were behind, still being halted by the Yin Corpse Demon Fire.

"Alas."

Ji Yuan’s sigh echoed beside his ear.

Before he could speak again, Ji Yuan squeezed...

"Hmm?"

Ji Yuan initially intended to crush his Divine Soul, but when he prepared to act, he found his Divine Soul seems to have been drawn away by some unknown power. When he thought to investigate, the voice of a Ghost Envoy echoed within his Sea of Consciousness.

"The corpse is yours; the Divine Soul is mine, plus I’ll give you 50 Contribution Points."

After speaking, Ji Yuan noticed the text on his Jade Token within the Storage Bag flicking momentarily, settling into tranquility.

The Ghost Envoy, after extracting Xu Qing’s Divine Soul, also left Ji Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

Ji Yuan had no time to ponder, hurriedly collected Xu Qing’s corpse and Storage Bag, then with a wave of his hand, dispersed the remaining Divine Thunder Power in front.

Lastly, he glanced at his right shoulder, looking at the tiny black-and-white butterfly.

"Nicely done."

Ji Yuan fed a drop of Dream Mysterious Liquid into the Dream Butterfly’s mouth, then stored it in the Spirit Beast Bag.

After resolving these matters, Ji Yuan consumed a drop of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk himself, the Spiritual Qi in his body stirred, Dantian Blood Pill Magical Power restored amidst it, he also intensified the Yin Corpse Demon Fire, setting the rotten corpses ablaze in great fire before him.

By the time Qi Xiu arrived, the rotten corpses in front had already been mostly burned by Ji Yuan’s Demon Fire.

The remaining ones consisted of two at the Peak of Core Formation, along with seven to eight at Late-stage Core Formation.

"Brother Qi has arrived just in time, quickly assist me!"

Ji Yuan took the initiative, loudly proclaiming.

Though Qi Xiu was not inclined to engage in such a battle with rotten corpses of formidable strength, having the time and energy to kill some at Early-stage and Mid-stage Core Formation would be delightful, wouldn’t it?

Sparing little effort, contribution points would be quickly earned as well.

Yet now being entangled, he had no other option.

Thus the two spent considerable effort to completely slay these rotten corpses, especially those two at the Peak of Core Formation, forcing Qi Xiu to consume two drops of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk to kill them.

Just as Qi Xiu exhausted his efforts to slay these rotten corpses, he made up his mind.
