The Nine-Revolutions Heir, Thus... Mere Ants

As soon as Ying Ju finished speaking, a long time passed, and suddenly the sound of wind drifted in.

The sound of the wind was barely audible at first, but in an instant it was close, like a gale, making the forests on Inlaid Gold Mountain rustle and blowing Lin Longyue's long, disheveled hair backward.

As if sensing something, she endured the sharp, needle-like pain in her head, slowly raised her head, and looked into the distance.

In the vast forest below the mountain, there stands an extremely tall and robust pine tree, its trunk gnarled and twisted like iron, its needles luxuriant like a canopy.

On the highest branch of that pine tree stood a person.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his figure as straight as a spear, his robes fluttering in the wind.

The setting sun hung behind him, not yet sinking, the sky was dim, and the person was backlit, so his face was blurred in the shadows and could not be seen clearly.

Even though Lin Longyue couldn't see the man's face clearly, she recognized him at first glance.

A bright, delighted glint suddenly flashed in those utterly exhausted eyes.

It was like seeing a way out in a desperate situation!

Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say...

The only pain that lingered in his body seemed to be overwhelmed by that joy at that moment.

She simply stared blankly at that figure, her gaze unable to look away for even a moment.

The figure, bathed in the setting sun, looked up at Ying Ju.

On Ying Ju's Ying Ju face, the smile grew even wider.

There was not a trace of surprise in that smile, as if she had expected this person to appear.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on Chen Lingxi as if he were examining an interesting prey.

"So you are the Spirit-Wielding General?"

He spoke slowly, his voice containing the deep and powerful Qi and Blood and qi of Nine Revolutions martial artist!

It was as if an invisible drum was being struck heavily in the Void, making Lin Longyue's eardrums ache!

Ying Ju's tone carried an undisguised murderous intent: "I have personally killed two or three monsters like you."

As he finished speaking, a hand suddenly reached out!

Just as he reached out his hand, a man in black leaped out from the forest, knelt on one knee, and presented a longbow with both hands.

The longbow was dark blue all over, and its body was several times thicker than that of an ordinary iron-framed bow. There were faint wood grain patterns flowing around it, but the bowstring was made of an unknown material. It was a semi-transparent silver color and as thin as a hair.

The bow looked extremely precious, as if it contained explosive power. Just holding it in one's hand, one could feel a chilling killing intent emanating from its sheath.

Ying Ju took the longbow, and with a gentle pluck of his finger on the bowstring, it produced a tinkling sound!

"You are incredibly audacious to have dared to kill my unruly sister." Ying Ju softly, his tone devoid of joy or sorrow, as if stating a trivial matter unrelated to himself. "My sister was indeed a bit unruly, and I didn't particularly like her, but it's unacceptable that she died at the hands of you demons."

My father was furious and ordered me to make the trip, which made me somewhat...

He paused, a very faint hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

"... quite troublesome."

Before he finished speaking, he had already drawn his bow and nocked an arrow!

His movements were fluid and incredibly fast; he pulled the bowstring to its fullest extent, and the bow seemed to crack under the strain.

His Qi and Blood erupted at that moment. As a martial artist who had achieved the minor completion of the Nine Revolutions, he had already purified his Qi and Blood and qi, removing Qi and Blood impurities left by the four realms of the Copper Scarlet Realm, Silver Bones, Golden Body, and Jade Qi Realm, making his Qi and Blood incomparably pure.

Its Qi and Blood and qi were a translucent white, and as it flowed, there was a subtle flow of Qi and Blood. Every movement contained powerful energy!

Whoosh!

Ying Ju drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and shot it!

As the arrow pierced the air, a visible white ring exploded in the air. Wherever the arrow passed, rocks shattered and vegetation turned to ash. It was like a meteor falling from the mountain peak, shooting swiftly towards Chen Lingxi!

Nine Revolutions martial artist is indeed formidable!

Lin Longyue, standing to the side, could clearly sense the terrifying power of the arrow. The pressure made her already injured body even more painful, but deep worry was revealed in her eyes.

"General..."

And so the arrow shot straight toward Chen Lingxi!

Ying Ju fired an arrow, his expression calm.

He stood atop the mountain peak, bow in hand, his robes fluttering in the wind, his Qi and Blood and qi surging within him.

"Then I will use this arrow to kill this sorcerer..."

His eyes were calm; he had already ascertained the true strength of this so-called Spirit-Wielding General from Ying Chi.

At that moment, he seemed to see the man being pierced by an arrow and falling from the pine tree.

Just then, Chen Lingxi, who was on the tree branch, suddenly snapped her fingers.

The instant he flicked his finger, a hazy Sword Qi aura shot out from the Profound-Pointing Sword Furnace at his fingertip!

The Sword Qi, originally as thin as a silkworm thread, instantly grew longer in the wind, transforming into a three-foot-long azure sword aura!

The sword aura was wreathed in extremely faint golden lightning, crackling and popping – a fusion of the Azure Edge Method and the Thunder Treasure Qi!

The Sword Qi and the feathered arrow collided with a deafening roar in mid-air!

Boom!

With a loud bang, the jade arrow that was shot at Chen Lingxi shattered into pieces, turning into countless specks of light!

The azure sword energy, however, continued its momentum, slashing straight into the distant mountain wall, leaving a bottomless sword mark, with stone dust falling in abundance.

Ying Ju's face showed surprise.

A hint of seriousness flashed across his eyes.

He squinted, but remained unconvinced.

At that moment, a roaring sound of surging Qi and Blood and qi came from the mountains and forests behind Ying Ju.

Behind Ying Ju, in the mountain forest, more than twenty Qi and Blood warriors from the army unleashed their power, including one who was Nine Revolutions expert!

Those fluctuations of Qi and Blood spread out from the depths of the mountains and forests one after another, like the tides, each surge being more profound and powerful than the last!

Ying Ju understood the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

He was sent by the Eastern King to find the murderer of Yunhe Commandery Princess. Even though he knew from the Crown Prince that Spirit-Wielding General's cultivation level was far below that of the Nine Revolutions!

But he still brought his deepest team with him.

Those twenty-odd Qi and Blood warriors were all valiant men who had fought alongside him countless times on the battlefield.

That Nine Revolutions expert was his most capable general. Although he had not reached the minor completion stage of the Nine Revolutions like him, he was by no means an ordinary person.

"Being stronger is good too. It'll be perfect to kill you, you fiend. Sending your corpse to the capital will be a merit in itself," Ying Ju softly, his hands behind his back, his eyes full of confidence.

He gazed at the figure standing on the pine tree, a smile playing on his lips, as if he were looking at prey trapped in a net.

Ying Ju was about to give the order.

But at that moment, the Spirit-Wielding General on the tree trunk suddenly took a step forward and stepped into the Void.

When that step was taken, there was neither cloud nor light beneath his feet; it was as easy as walking on flat ground.

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Suddenly, a small boat beneath his feet grew larger, a truly miraculous sight.

The boat was initially no bigger than the palm of my hand, its entire body as white as jade. In the blink of an eye, it grew longer in the wind, transforming into a true Heavenly Boat about ten feet long.

A faint, soft aura swirled beneath the boat, which floated leisurely in the Void!

The boat is white as jade, with its bow raised like a crescent moon in the sky.

That's amazing!

Ying Ju didn't even have time to be surprised.

"Whoosh!"

The Spirit-Wielding General, riding on the small boat, transformed into a streak of light and shot towards Ying Ju!

The speed was too fast. Lin Longyue was already injured, her head was throbbing, and her eyesight was impaired. She only saw a flash of white light approaching.

The white light streaked across the sky, leaving a long trail, like a shooting star falling from the heavens, so fast that it didn't even take the blink of an eye.

Ying Ju suddenly changed.

He sensed the fierce aura of Qi and Blood and energy emanating from Spirit-Wielding General within the white light, as well as a terrifying pressure!

The pressure was so intense that it felt like an invisible mountain descending from the sky and pressing down on his shoulders, causing his internal Nine-Revolutions Blood Qi to stagnate slightly.

This oppressive aura was like that of a god descending to earth, completely different from the so-called demons that Ying Ju had killed before.

This is precisely the Mystery Mechanism of the Qi Circulation Eighth Floor...

Divine Might!

The powerful figures in the mountains behind him also felt this intense pressure.

The powerful figure, who was also at the Nine Revolutions and whose strength was only slightly weaker than Ying Ju Ju's, changed his expression slightly.

He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the layers of trees, landing on the figure arriving by boat. His pupils contracted sharply, and he abruptly ordered, "Protect the Emperor!"

Many Qi and Blood cultivators moved almost simultaneously.

Their vital Qi and Blood erupted, and beams of jade-colored Qi and Blood shot into the sky from the mountains and forests.

The twenty-odd fluctuations of Qi and Blood converged at one point, forming a torrent of Qi and Blood that surged towards Chen Lingxi, overwhelming everything in its path.

The sounds of Qi and Blood circulating were as dense as rain, like a swarm of startled wasps!

However, compared to their speed, the Spirit-Wielding General was simply too fast.

In just a few breaths, Chen Ling's Heavenly Boat- Chen Lingxi Boat had already soared into the sky!

At the same time, the clouds in the sky swirled and rippled.

The layers of clouds seemed to be violently stirred by a deity, churning and swirling wildly, condensing into a huge cloud vortex in the Void.

A spiritual light emerged from the center of the vortex, bursting forth from its depths and soaring into the sky, containing an indescribable pressure.

"Heaven-Seizing Seal!"

The spell erupted suddenly, traversing several miles, and directly condensed spiritual energy in the air above the mountaintop, transforming into a giant handprint.

The handprint was ten zhang in diameter, with all five fingers clearly visible, and the lines on the palm were so clear that they were clearly visible in the finest detail, as if it were a real divine hand reaching down from the sky.

The five fingers of the hand seal were intertwined with azure, gold, and silver light, and a highly condensed vortex of spiritual energy was spinning wildly in the palm.

With each rotation of the vortex, it devoured more of the surrounding spiritual energy, and the hand seal became increasingly solid and larger.

"What on earth is this?!"

The handprint was so terrifying that Ying Ju's expression changed again, and his heart pounded with fear.

He looked up at the enormous handprint that had fallen from the sky, and for the first time, a look of genuine horror appeared in his eyes.

The Eastern King circulated his vital Qi and Blood to its limit, attempting to resist the enormous handprint.

He unleashed his fully Nine Revolutions Minor Qi and Blood without reservation, condensing a blood-red protective shield several inches thick on his body.

The protective barrier was so solid it was almost tangible, and every inch of it contained terrifying power!

But as the handprint landed and suddenly grabbed at him, he felt the terrifying energy within it, and his heart sank.

Before the handprint even reached him, the immense pressure descended upon him like an invisible giant wave.

"Hmph!" Ying Ju grunted.

The rocks beneath his feet were crushed inch by inch by this oppressive force, with fragments of rock flying like rain. His back was bent slightly by the pressure, and his legs involuntarily sank into the rocks several inches deep.

His Qi and Blood aura shattered instantly. His Nine Revolutions Aura, which he was so proud of, was like a thin sheet of paper in front of this Heaven-Seizing Great Hand Seal, and was silently torn to pieces.

The Nine-Revolutions Blood Qi within his body were stagnant due to this terrifying pressure. The Qi and Blood in his meridians were like frozen rivers, and no matter how he tried to urge them, they could no longer flow even a fraction.

He was pinned to the spot by that immense pressure, unable to even lift a finger.

The powerful figures behind him hadn't even arrived yet.

The Nine Revolutions figure had already rushed out of the forest, his Qi and Blood and qi surging like boiling water. He was about to throw a punch at the Heaven-Seizing Great Hand Seal, but it was too late.

The twenty-odd skilled soldiers had not yet escaped the mountains and forests. Various pillars of Qi and Blood intertwined to form an impenetrable net, but the handprints were too fast.

But they all saw...

The cloud of energy was grasped by a giant hand!

It's like a human hand catching an ant!

This arrogant prince was already caught in the hands of that terrifying giant handprint and was rising straight into the air!

The giant handprint's five fingers closed, and no matter how much he struggled or tried to activate the remaining Qi and Blood in his body, he couldn't shake the giant handprint in the slightest.

"Young Master!" someone shouted, it was that same powerful expert who was also at the Nine Revolutions.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he stomped his feet hard on the rocks, causing them to crumble inch by inch. He leaped up like a cannonball, his Qi and Blood transforming into a crimson pillar of light that shot into the sky, and he threw a punch!

As the fist's energy pierced the air, it exploded into a visible white ring, attempting to block the terrifying handprint and save Ying Ju.

But at that very moment, a Sword Qi shot out from who-knows-where.

The Sword Qi was as thin as silkworm silk, and its color was bluish-green. When it passed through the air, it left only an extremely thin and faint bluish-green afterimage. It was so fast that even the Nine Revolutions expert could not see its trajectory.

The Sword Qi contained unimaginable power!

Laugh!

It was just a soft sound!

The Sword Qi instantly pierced through the protective qi Qi and Blood of this expert who had not yet reached the Nine Revolutions cultivation, pierced through his brow, and emerged from the back of his head, bringing with it a cloud of blood mist!

The Nine Revolutions expert shuddered, his eyes widened suddenly, and the light in them completely disappeared.

His leaping figure plummeted like a falling meteor, crashing into the forest and raising a cloud of dust.

"This..."

Lin Longyue was utterly astonished and almost didn't know how to react.

She knelt on the ground, looking up as the corpse of the Nine Revolutions expert fell from the sky, and as the enormous Heaven-Seizing Handprint Ying Ju tightly in its palm, rising into the air.

It all happened so fast, so fast that her mind couldn't keep up.

And from the Heavenly Boat, another extremely fast streak of light flew out.

The light was pale gold, faintly interspersed with wisps of lightning, and its speed was so fast that the naked eye could only catch a blurry afterimage.

A figure seemed to appear in the flowing light, enveloped in surging radiance, and fell into the mountains and forests.

The figure was surrounded by mist, like a ghost, and each flash covered several feet.

In an instant, the fluctuations of Qi and Blood in the mountains and forests became even more intense.

Screams even broke out, one after another.

The fluctuations in Qi and Blood of those twenty-odd skilled soldiers began to decrease.

Even fewer and fewer!

Another deafening explosion followed!

Blinding flashes of light erupted in the mountains and forests, accompanied by the clanging of metal against metal and the deafening roar of rocks shattering.

The light and sound intertwined, turning the mountain forest into a scene of carnage!

Lin Longyue took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.

She struggled to support her weakened body and looked up at the giant cloud hand in the sky.

Within the massive cloud of energy, Ying Ju was struggling desperately.

His Qi and Blood surged and boiled, trying to break free from the restraints of the giant handprint.

But the power contained in that large hand was simply too great, Ying Ju couldn't break free at all.

Like a moth held in the palm of your hand, no matter how much it flaps its wings, it is all in vain!

Several dozen breaths passed.

The commotion in the mountains gradually subsided.

The screams, explosions, and the sounds of Qi and Blood colliding all dissipated in the night wind.

The once bustling forest has now fallen silent, with only a few wisps of lingering light drifting slowly among the trees, like will-o'-the-wisps.

From the forest, a pale golden streak of light shot out, swift as lightning, and arrived before the giant cloud-like hand in an instant.

"General!" Lin Longyue had never seen the man's face, but she could see his back.

The man stood before the giant cloud-like hand, his back to her, a long sword hanging at his waist.

Faint, subtle golden lightning patterns flowed slowly across the scabbard.

His back was as straight as a pine tree, his robes fluttering in the night wind, and his aura was as deep and profound as an abyss.

It was the Spirit-Wielding General she had been longing for.

But all they saw Spirit-Wielding General standing tall, before the giant cloud-like hand.

He stood with his hands behind his back, slightly turned his head, and his gaze fell on Ying Ju, who was being tightly gripped by the giant handprint.

His expression was calm.

It's like watching a struggling ant.
