This hard clash was quite unexpected even for the Smiling Old Man in mid-air. It all happened in an instant, and although the strength of the two was not strong in his eyes, the ferocity of their fight was surprising. What was even more surprising was Ren Jie's ruthlessness. From beginning to end, he showed no fear of his first life-and-death battle, and was even more ruthless than his opponent until the very end.
Yan Zhenfei's initial abandonment of his sword and later injecting True Qi into Ren Jie's body were both experienced moves to exploit his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. But in the end, he couldn't even manage a mutual destruction, while Ren Jie was able to persevere to the end, relying on his final breakthrough to kill Yan Zhenfei in one fell swoop. The ruthlessness and ferocity that ran through the entire process played a significant role.
"Damn it, he actually broke through!" The Smiling Old Man was speechless at this moment. This guy actually broke through. Who could argue with that?
Although it was just the Body Refining Realm, how long had it been? Just a few days.
Last time, he improved the Battle Eight Directions Annihilation overnight, and it was the same today. He thought he was just talking nonsense before, but now...
Looking at Yan Zhenfei, who was killed and sent flying by Ren Jie, the Smiling Old Man thought to himself, if this guy knew that Ren Jie was only at the fourth level of the Body Refining Realm just now, what would he think? The Body Refining Realm and the True Qi Realm are vastly different. Generally, three or four Body Refining Realm Completion cultivators would be lucky to deal with one True Qi Realm cultivator. Occasionally, there are heaven-defying people who challenge across major realms, but they are basically at the ninth level or Completion of the Body Refining Realm.
Such people generally have powerful accumulations. Although they are at the ninth level or Completion of the Body Refining Realm, they are definitely several times stronger than ordinary Body Refining Realm cultivators. They have also learned some Mid-Grade or High-Grade martial skills, or possess Spirit Artifacts, so they can challenge beyond their level.
Even after Ren Jie's breakthrough, his true strength is only at the fifth level of the Body Refining Realm. To be able to face the True Qi Realm without fear and ultimately kill his opponent, this is not some Hedonistic Young Master, but a battle-hardened general.
The most hateful thing is that this was not an assassination, but a frontal kill. Damn it, how did he encounter such a monster? How was he supposed to teach him? What was he supposed to teach him!
He originally wanted to use this matter to let him know the cruelty of this world and show him what real killing was, but now...
"Puff..." Finally killing Yan Zhenfei, Ren Jie spat out a mouthful of blood that he had been suppressing, and his face changed several times in an instant. After all, killing a True Qi Realm cultivator across a major realm was no joke. He just had a firm belief that he couldn't back down.
Fortunately, with the release of power, the fifth level Qi Strength of the Jade Emperor Art Body Refining chapter was powerful. After circulating it several times, the injuries in his body stabilized, and even the injuries in other parts of his body were relieved a lot.
Ren Jie walked over, picked up Yan Zhenfei's corpse, and walked to Sun Zhu, who was sitting on the steps at the door, supporting his body with a broken sword and holding a crying baby in one hand.
"Passing by, thump..." Ren Jie said, throwing Yan Zhenfei's corpse in front of Sun Zhu. But as soon as he spoke, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth again. Ren Jie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Since coming to this world, he knew that this was no longer a society ruled by law like Earth, and everything depended on fists and strength, but today he personally felt the cruelty of this world.
Ren Jie could already see that Sun Zhu was dying. He was breathing in more than he was breathing out, and he was clinging on with a will.
"Ha... haha... cough..." Sun Zhu smiled. The Qi that had been supporting him suddenly began to dissipate, but he looked at Ren Jie gratefully in the end: "Thank... thank you, at least... let... me know that my Sun Family... has always been kind to others... it won't be... cough..."
"This... this... is what he wanted... I got it unintentionally before... I... realized she was unusual... but I didn't know... it would cause trouble, otherwise... I wouldn't have stayed... no matter how good... I don't want it, I just want a family... ordinary... don't want it, I really don't want it, this... is not... something our ordinary people can... have, give it to you... thank you for avenging my Sun Family... Sun Rui... child... entrust, she is very spec..." In Sun Zhu's hand, holding his granddaughter Sun Rui, was a round bead the size of a baby's fist, extremely clear, and you could see something inside, but it was not very clear.
He opened his hand and said to Ren Jie, while also wanting to entrust the child and say something else, but in the end, before he could finish speaking, his eyes had slowly closed, still maintaining that posture, sitting there dead.
Sun Rui's eyes, in Sun Zhu's arms, were still wide open, tightly holding Sun Zhu's arm, her body still trembling, trembling constantly.
The courtyard was full of corpses, the night was dark, and Ren Jie stood there for a long time, unable to calm down.
"Dang..." Just at this moment, the bead fell from Sun Zhu's hand to the ground.
Looking at Sun Rui, who was still tightly holding the arm of the dead Sun Zhu, Ren Jie didn't know what to do for a while. He could rush up without fear to face Yan Zhenfei, who was much stronger than him and had killed hundreds of people, but at this moment, looking at this little girl who was wearing a nightgown, with blood on her face and body, obviously splashed on her when Sun Zhu fought Yan Zhenfei, who didn't have a bit of rural air and looked like she had a spiritual energy, Ren Jie was also very headache.
"Hmm..." Ren Jie was having a headache about how to talk to this little girl, not paying attention to the dropped bead, but when the bead fell from Sun Zhu's hand, the Smiling Old Man in the air suddenly froze. The next moment, his figure suddenly fell, standing next to the bead, staring at the bead without moving.
"This... how is this possible, Spirit Jade... Spirit Jade Essence..." The Smiling Old Man's voice trembled a little, looking at the bead in disbelief.
"What Spirit Jade Essence?" Ren Jie suddenly saw the Smiling Old Man fall, and saw him so surprised, and was also stunned. He still hadn't tested the Smiling Old Man's bottom line, but he was definitely extraordinary. Something that could shock and surprise him so much must be extraordinary.
Ren Jie said, bending down and picking up the bead, looking at it carefully, just feeling very comfortable and nothing special.
"What can you understand? Someone melted and condensed the Spirit Jade Essence to form this outer layer. You'd be a ghost if you could see through it." The Smiling Old Man said, raising his hand and directly taking the ball from Ren Jie's hand, looking at it very carefully and excitedly.
"After talking for so long, what's going on?" Seeing that the Smiling Old Man hadn't said anything about the whole thing after talking for so long, Ren Jie couldn't help but ask again.
The Smiling Old Man held the bead in his hand and said, "Ordinary people know that entering the True Qi Realm allows you to use Low-Grade Spirit Jade to cultivate, and entering the Divine Power Realm is best to use Mid-Grade Spirit Jade, while High-Grade Spirit Jade is extremely precious, and only super experts at the Yin Yang Realm level are qualified to own and use it, which is extremely rare. Above High-Grade Spirit Jade, there is also Top-Grade Spirit Jade. One Top-Grade Spirit Jade is equal to one thousand High-Grade Spirit Jade. If converted into Jade Coins, one Top-Grade Spirit Jade is worth one hundred million Jade Coins, but that's just theoretically. In fact, you can't buy Top-Grade Spirit Jade with Jade Coins at all. These are generally known, but in fact, above Top-Grade Spirit Jade, there is Spirit Jade Essence, the essence of jade, the essence of jade, whose value is immeasurable. And this bead was compressed and condensed by someone using Spirit Jade Essence."
Ren Jie was not someone like Yan Zhenfei, but he was not a Sage either. Just now, Sun Zhu finally handed the bead to him, obviously entrusting the child to him, but when he heard that this thing was even more precious than Top-Grade Spirit Jade, Ren Jie's first thought was, damn, then this must be able to support the video for a long time.
"Hmph, don't think you've made a fortune..." The Smiling Old Man carefully explored the situation inside and said, "Spirit Jade Essence cannot be owned by ordinary people at all. Even this king only knows how to use Spirit Jade Essence, but has no way to melt, condense, and recompress it. Even if you give Spirit Jade Essence to someone below the Yin Yang Realm, you can't use it, just like people who haven't reached the True Qi Realm can't use Spirit Jade. You can't mobilize the huge power inside at all. As for this re-condensed and compressed Spirit Jade Essence bead, even this king can't explore what's inside. It's just strange, how could that kid with such a trash True Qi Realm cultivation recognize this Spirit Jade Essence bead? Oh, this is..."
The Smiling Old Man was naturally talking about why Yan Zhenfei could recognize it. Generally, even Divine Power Realm peak or even Yin Yang Realm Soul Formation cultivators may not recognize Spirit Jade Essence, so he curiously watched carefully. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, because he suddenly saw a faint trace on it, faint, and if you didn't pay attention, you would think it was a cloud of black mist, but the Smiling Old Man was stunned.
Then he squatted down directly and quickly searched Yan Zhenfei's body.
Seeing the Smiling Old Man's actions, Ren Jie knew that something must be happening, but Ren Jie was very confident about the Smiling Old Man saying that he couldn't use Spirit Jade Essence. He was not in the True Qi Realm. He could still borrow light by using the video in the notebook in his Sea of Consciousness to absorb energy. He believed that Spirit Jade Essence would be no problem. This thought just flashed in his mind, and Ren Jie suddenly found that the little girl named Sun Rui was still staring at Yan Zhenfei, who was killed by him.
"Your grandfather is dead, and your Sun Family's revenge has been avenged. Come with me first." Full of blood and killing, even an outsider like Ren Jie couldn't stand it after entering, let alone a seven or eight-year-old little girl who witnessed all this with her own eyes. Ren Jie pulled Sun Rui to leave, but she was still there. Ren Jie originally thought that if the little girl struggled violently, he would first find a way to make her fall asleep and then take her back, but he didn't expect the little girl to directly hand her hand to Ren Jie, and then reluctantly let go of Sun Zhu with the other hand.
Hmm! Ren Jie was stunned, and then Ren Jie found that Sun Rui, this little girl who looked so spiritual, wearing a nightgown and still trembling, was staring at Yan Zhenfei with her eyes.
"Sure enough, this king said, how could a trash True Qi Realm waste recognize Spirit Jade Essence? It turns out that he is indeed a member of the Remnant Soul. There are traces left by the strong man of the Remnant Soul on it. It seems that this person is at least a Yang Soul Formation and used a High-Grade or higher Spirit Artifact to leave traces on this Spirit Jade Essence, but it looks very hurried." The Smiling Old Man searched out a unique cloud-like black token from Yan Zhenfei's body, and then got up and said to himself.
While talking, the Smiling Old Man's heart was also full of mixed feelings.
If it were someone else, he would probably have been tempted to snatch it at this moment. Because the preciousness of Spirit Jade Essence was enough to make him tempted. Ordinary money was useless to him, only this kind of treasure was useful to him.
But it happened to be in the hands of this kid Ren Jie, which was too damn hateful.
I had a sudden idea, using my divine sense to scan the surroundings and discovering a fight here. Moreover, it was the kind of low-level fight that was perfect for Ren Jie to see blood, a massacre of a family. In the Smiling Old Man's view, even if Ren Jie didn't go down, he would have thrown him down. After his previous arrogance and two failures, the Smiling Old Man planned to use this opportunity to train him.
But he actually rushed down on his own initiative, killed that guy, and even got a Spirit Jade Essence bead. Heavens, is there any justice?
Spirit Jade Essence! Back then, I fought and killed others in the ruins for a piece of Spirit Jade Essence, trapped in one place for several years, unable to get out. Yet this is a bead condensed using Spirit Jade Essence, and it seems to have something sealed inside. If this Spirit Jade Essence was just a box, the Smiling Old Man couldn't even imagine what would be sealed inside.
Depressed, so damn depressed.
Infuriating, it's simply infuriating.
If this continues, I'll be driven to death by this kid.
I've participated in thousands of battles, killed countless people, so how come I've never encountered such a thing? Damn it, am I destined to be eaten by their father and son in this life? How could I run into something like this?
"Keep it safe, but don't try to mess with this Spirit Jade Essence, because it's not that simple. There seems to be something inside. Also, don't expose it, otherwise even the Ren Family won't be able to protect you. Anything targeted by a remnant soul, even the Emperor has to return it. Keep it safe, and don't let anyone see or know about it. I really don't know what your father and son owe me in a past life, to actually… damn it, here… you… you…" The Smiling Old Man was about to hand the Spirit Jade Essence bead to Ren Jie when he finally took a good look at Sun Rui, who was holding Ren Jie's hand, looking spiritually vibrant, but staring intently at Yan Zhenfei's corpse.
"What's wrong with you, old man? Did someone step on your tail?" Ren Jie originally wanted to say if he had seen a ghost, but when he thought about him looking at Sun Rui, he didn't say it. However, Ren Jie was also very strange about the Smiling Old Man's continuous abnormal behavior today. Could it be because he was reluctant to part with the Spirit Jade Essence? The Smiling Old Man suddenly stuffed the Spirit Jade Essence bead into Ren Jie's hand, squatted down, and looked at Sun Rui, who was wearing a nightgown, still covered in blood, her body still trembling, her eyes staring blankly at Yan Zhenfei's corpse.
"Innate… Spiritual… Body… Heavens, it's really an Innate Spiritual Body. This legendary physique actually exists, haha, and I actually encountered it. Not only is it an Innate Spiritual Body, but there's also a wisp of wisdom mark between her eyebrows. Could this… this is the legendary Innate Wisdom Mark? How could there be such a child in… a small town… this…" The Smiling Old Man looked at little Sun Rui with a hundred times more shock than when he saw the Spirit Jade Essence.
