Under Dire Circumstances
Chapter 298 Under Dire Circumstances
The night was as still as water, and heavy snow weighed down on the palace.
The palace was in chaos at this moment. A large number of imperial guards were advancing, and the sound of horses' hooves was constantly ringing out. The entire Zhenyang Imperial City was covered by churning demonic clouds, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
One of the palaces was under siege by a large number of demons. On the roof, Ji Ya faced the demons attacking from all directions. He continuously used the Nine Heavens Divine Palm, each palm strike could blast away a large number of demons, and some demons even exploded into blood mist.
From Ji Ya's perspective, a continuous stream of demons climbed up the distant palace walls and attacked him. Under the darkness, the sight of these demons gathered together was extremely oppressive.
Even the energetic Ji Ya was secretly alarmed.
Countless ghosts hovered in the night sky, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.
Ji Ya had a strong feeling that he might perish here.
He was puzzled: who was the mastermind behind this, what did they want to do, and why was it necessary to go to such lengths to deal with him?
Even if he might die, Ji Ya was not afraid.
He has cultivated himself for so many years, wasn't it all for this day?
His master assigned him to investigate the haunting of the palace, and he was determined to complete the task.
As he fought, he scanned all directions, looking for anything suspicious.
at the same time.
Liu Jing was surrounded by the Imperial Guards. Even with the protection of the army, he was still unable to calm down. Not to mention him, the Imperial Guards were also terrified. They had never seen such a scene before.
Demons and monsters rampaged through the palace, making them feel as if they were living in a nightmare.
"What's going on? Are there really so many demons and monsters?"
"Could it have come from the north?"
"So His Majesty's worries were true, there really are ghosts at work..."
"The Xuan Dynasty has just been established, and the world has finally achieved peace. How can we allow evil spirits to destroy it?"
The soldiers were filled with doubt and surprise; some were afraid, some were angry, and some were trying to boost morale.
As they watched Ji Ya stand alone against the demons, their courage grew.
A concubine landed on the eaves of a nearby building and said, "Do not act rashly. Protect His Majesty. Going up there rashly will only bring trouble to Senior Brother Ji Ya."
She was also a disciple of the Qingxiao Sect, and was sent by her family to marry Liu Jing.
There were several other concubines like her who were quite united in the palace, making it impossible for Liu Jing and the other concubines to offend them. Their status was even higher than Liu Jing's.
Liu Jing snapped out of his daze and immediately ordered the Imperial Guards not to approach the battlefield ahead.
With his Nine Heavens Divine Palm technique, Ji Ya moved with great force, seemingly unstoppable no matter how many demons or monsters came.
Liu Jing was amazed by what he saw.
The fact that Ji Ya, who is so powerful, is not the strongest genius in the martial arts competition a few years ago shows how terrifying the foundation of Qingxiao Sect is.
Ji Ya alone could easily overthrow his imperial power, not to mention that Qingxiao Sect has tens of thousands of disciples.
Rumbling--
A sudden clap of thunder startled Liu Jing and the Imperial Guards, who looked up to see lightning flashing in the rolling demonic clouds above. As the lightning illuminated the scene, they spotted a massive figure.
It was some kind of terrifying monstrous bird, enormous in size, shaped like an eagle, and exuding an oppressive aura.
Liu Jing turned pale at the sight; faced with such an enemy, he didn't know what to do.
If he were to leave the palace, he feared being attacked by demons; if he stayed, he would live in constant fear.
Ji Ya didn't share their sentiments. After fighting this far, he finally understood that these demons and monsters weren't targeting Liu Jing at all, but rather him, a disciple of the Qingxiao Sect.
The so-called haunting is probably just a way to force Qingxiao Sect to send disciples here.
Since that's the case, then he'll fight with all his might!
Ji Ya immediately cast the Mountain Lord Divine Spell, summoning four Mountain Lords in one go, and then charged towards the direction away from Liu Jing.
The mountain lord charged wildly, tearing apart and scattering the demons in his path, unstoppable. Just as Ji Ya had predicted, wherever he went, the demons followed.
The ghosts in the sky did not attack him. Perhaps these ghosts did not have the ability to harm people. Their appearance was either to scare people or to present some kind of formation.
Ji Ya felt that the demonic clouds shrouding the imperial city were no mere decoration, and the fact that no Qingxiao Sect disciples had come to their aid was proof enough of this.
With disciples of the Qingxiao Sect spread throughout the world, and his battle being so powerful, any Qingxiao Sect disciples nearby who heard of it would surely come to his aid.
"It seems I'm in dire straits."
Ji Ya pondered silently, his gaze growing increasingly resolute.
For some reason, he was somewhat excited.
From the moment he joined the Qingxiao Sect, he appeared dutiful, honest, and even somewhat dull. But only he knew that he harbored many ambitions and ideas, though he simply did not wish to express them.
He frequently went to the martial arts arena, not to find fault with anything; he simply loved fighting.
The combat situation he most desired had arrived.
Only someone capable of fighting against ten thousand can match his immense Yuan Qi, which far surpasses that of others in the same realm!
Tonight, he will prove what he has learned, bring glory to his master, and eliminate the threat to his sect!
Suddenly, a terrifying demonic aura emanated from ahead. Ji Ya looked up and could sense that the other party was also at the Spiritual Consciousness Realm, with a cultivation level even higher than his own, but he remained fearless.
"Perhaps your constitution is not just about having abundant vital energy; your physical body has even more untapped potential."
Ji Ya remembered his master's instructions and realized that now was the opportunity to break through his own limits in this desperate situation.
From the night sky, Ji Ya, who was running swiftly on the rooftop, looked so small, and the monsters from all directions seemed to engulf him like a black tide.
Meanwhile, battles broke out in the city outside the palace. Some Qingxiao Sect disciples who were temporarily staying there wanted to come to the rescue, but they were blocked by monsters on the streets. People were crying out and buildings were collapsing. It was like a scene from hell.
……
dark night.
Li Qingqiu arrived at Yuan Li's courtyard. Yuan Li was recuperating inside the house. Li Qingqiu looked at his bright window and hesitated.
After pausing for a while, Li Qingqiu stepped forward, arrived at Yuan Li's door, and knocked.
"Who?"
"it's me."
Upon hearing his master's voice, Yuanli quickly got up, and the commotion clearly indicated that he was in a hurry.
He quickly opened the door and bowed to Li Qingqiu.
Li Qingqiu could sense that his qi and blood were disordered, and it seemed that he had been injured by studying physical fitness again.
"There's something I need to tell you, and it's not good news," Li Qingqiu said, looking at Yuan Li. He didn't intend to go inside.
He didn't intend to lay the groundwork for such a tragedy, because no amount of foreshadowing would make a difference.
Yuan Li looked up at Li Qingqiu, his expression flustered. He had been feeling uneasy all day, and now that his master had come to see him, he immediately guessed what it was about.
For him, bad things could only be related to his brother Yuan Qi.
Adding to the previous incident of the monster attacking Qingxiao Mountain, his heart sank into an abyss, and he felt his hands and feet turn ice cold.
Li Qingqiu sighed and said, "Zhongtian Immortal City was attacked, and more than 500 disciples were killed or wounded. Yuan Qi sacrificed himself."
boom!
Yuan Li was struck dumb, frozen in place.
Everything in his vision began to shake, and the intense feeling of suffocation filled him with immense panic.
His uncontrollable heartbeat began to intensify, like war drums beating in his ears, growing louder and faster, as if it were about to shatter the entire world.
This chapter is still from yesterday. I had a really bad cough last night, which delayed me. Sorry QAQ
