Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented
Chapter 699: Weak Breath
There are many forces in this world, including the ghost realm.
It is said that in the Xuanhuang Continent, in addition to the Martial Emperor and the Martial Saint, there are also some hidden super forces with unfathomable strength.
Since this Ghost Realm Supreme is the Supreme, his strength must be far beyond that of practitioners at the same level.
If he could be on good terms with the Ghost Realm Supreme, his path of cultivation would undoubtedly be much smoother.
Just as Shiji was thinking, he suddenly felt a pain in his head.
He rubbed his forehead and his face instantly turned gloomy.
"Who are you?" he shouted coldly.
With a click, the door was pushed open.
A man and two women filed in and walked to the bed.
The leading black-clad man said indifferently: "By order of His Majesty, I will take you back to the palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards rushed to the bed and tried to capture Shiji.
"How dare you!" Shi Ji shouted angrily, flipped over the bed and pounced on the two guards.
After the smoke and dust cleared, Shiji started coughing due to choking.
"I'm warning you, you'd better get out of here right now, or I'll be rude to you!"
His voice was hoarse and low, as harsh as the friction between metal and iron.
"Huh, pretentious!"
The man in black sneered, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and rushed towards Shiji while waving it.
On the other side, two female guards also drew their weapons and attacked Shiji.
Their attacks were tricky and ruthless, and their moves were fierce. It was obvious that they were strictly trained killers.
Shiji frowned and dodged their attacks nimbly.
"I advise you to leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
The two female guards looked at each other and snorted, "Useless! Even if we join forces, can't we subdue you?"
They all drew their swords and slashed at Shiji.
Shiji dodged sideways, kicked over the table, and knocked the chair towards the two female guards.
Tables and chairs collapsed, wood chips flew everywhere, blocking the attack of the two female guards.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shiji jumped into the air and landed on the top of the wall.
The man in black shouted loudly, and several long swords flew out of nowhere, pierced through the wall and nailed Shiji's feet.
Shiji's body stiffened, he stepped on the tip of the sword, gnashing his teeth and said, "You are going too far!"
The men in black laughed.
"You useless thing! Do you think you can survive by running away to the ends of the earth?"
"Your Majesty has issued an edict to announce it to the world. Anyone who can kill you can claim the reward!"
"If you know what's best for you, surrender and come back with us to answer for your crime!"
Shiji gritted his teeth and thought to himself.
It seems that this supreme ruler of the ghost realm is a brutal person who kills innocent people indiscriminately, and he actually released such horrific news.
Shiji raised the corner of his mouth, and a wicked arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His mission objective is to recapture the ghost realm and complete this mission.
How could we easily miss such a powerful enemy?
Shiji snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he turned into a black shadow and rushed out of the window.
"catch him!"
The man in black roared angrily and started chasing after him.
The countryside is especially quiet at night.
Shiji ran very fast and soon reached a remote place.
This is a dilapidated house.
Shiji stood at the entrance of the alley, looked up and glanced around.
He chuckled, jumped up and jumped into the yard.
As soon as he landed, several sharp arrows shot out and hit his chest.
Shiji spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered back a few steps, and looked up.
On the roof, he saw several crossbowmen holding bows and arrows, aiming at him.
"Looking for death!" Shiji roared, drew the soft sword from his waist and slashed towards the roof.
With his nimble and agile body, he easily dodged the arrow attack, turned defense into offense, and cut the bowstring.
A scream was heard and the crossbowmen on the roof fell one after another.
Shiji stepped onto the roof and ran towards the end of the alley.
A sharp arrow pierced through the air, rushed over and pierced Shiji's back.
Shiji turned around suddenly and reached out to grab the sharp arrow.
He swung his arm and threw, shooting the attacker into a sieve.
He rushed out of the alley in one breath and looked for a hiding place along the street.
Shiji cursed softly, his hideous and twisted expression vaguely visible under the half mask.
The wound had not yet healed, and the intense running caused him so much pain that it almost tore apart.
But in order to get rid of the danger as soon as possible, he could only endure it.
Relying on his memory, Shiji walked towards the south of the city.
As soon as he stepped into a restaurant, he felt his eyelid twitch.
"Why is there a murderous aura again?"
At this moment, a bone-chilling cold light flashed over his head!
Shiji's nerves tensed up instantly and he leaped to the side suddenly.
The long sword brushed past his cheek, and the sharp sword energy cut his skin.
His robe was torn, revealing his snow-white skin.
Shiji narrowed his eyes and looked at the masked man opposite him.
"Who are you?"
The masked man replied coldly: "I am the Lord of Yama Palace, under the command of the Supreme Lord of Ghost Realm - Youming!"
Youming's voice was hoarse and dry, filled with a strong sense of solemnity and murderousness.
"Yama Palace? The people from the Supreme Being in the Ghost Realm?" A gleam of light flashed in Shiji's eyes.
It seems that this Yama Palace is coming for him.
"Today, I'm here on the orders of the Palace Master to take your life!" Youming snorted coldly and attacked again with his sword.
The long sword stabbed forward, bringing with it a sharp and fierce wind.
Shiji dodged quickly, there was a loud bang, and a big hole was chopped out on the roof.
Youming took the opportunity to catch up, and the two started a fierce battle.
Gradually, Shiji began to lose the upper hand.
The cultivation method practiced by the Lord of Yama Palace is extremely special and known to be evil. He specializes in absorbing the essence of the human body to enhance his own cultivation.
Moreover, Yan Luo is good at using darts and hidden weapons, and his techniques are strange and varied.
Although Shiji has also practiced some martial arts moves, there is a world of difference between them and the Lord of Yama Palace.
The more he fought, the harder it became. He felt a stinging pain in his arms, as if something was drilling into his skin.
"Watch your back!"
Shiji sensed the danger and immediately rolled to the side.
Yan Luo took advantage of the situation to move closer, swinging his blade towards Shiji's back.
Blood splattered and the clothes were stained red.
Shiji covered the wound and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He stared at Yan Luo with gnashing teeth, wishing he could cut him into pieces.
Yan Luo laughed and said, "You will soon become a corpse!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared without a trace. Shiji's pupils shrank, and the next second, his hair stood up, and an extremely terrifying pressure came over him.
He turned around and saw Yan Luo approaching and slapping him on the chest!
Shiji was knocked flying backwards, breaking three pillars.
He managed to steady himself, spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked up at the masked man in black, his eyes almost spitting fire.
Yan Luo stood with his hands behind his back, and sneered contemptuously: "An ant-like existence! Today I will let you know who is the real overlord."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hit Shiji twice in succession.
Shiji tried her best to dodge, but Yan Luo was too strong and his attacks were always difficult to avoid.
There was another loud bang, and the entire palace shook violently.
Shiji vomited blood again, his face was as pale as paper, with a faint trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and he looked in danger.
"You are not dead yet?" Yan Luo seemed a little surprised.
This is his ultimate killer skill, the Nine Nether Demonic Art!
Shiji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with cruelty and determination. He stood up slowly and firmly and walked towards Yan Luo.
Yan Luo raised his eyebrows and said, "You are looking for death."
He waved his sleeves, and countless black short blades broke through the air and shot towards Shiji.
Shiji did not stop and rushed forward, allowing the short blade to pierce into his body and blood splattered everywhere.
Yan Luo said "good" twice and said excitedly, "Continue."
He slapped Shiji on the head.
Shiji reached out and grasped Yan Luo's wrist without hesitation.
When Yan Luo heard the sound of his bones breaking, his face suddenly turned ashen.
How dare this bastard cripple his right hand!
"you wanna die!"
Yan Luo was furious. He pulled back his hand and grabbed Shiji's neck with his backhand.
He gathered spiritual energy in his other intact left hand, turned it into a fist and smashed it into Shiji's chest, knocking him to the ground.
Shiji coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood mist.
Yan Luo stepped on his shoulder and said with a fierce smile: "Now I will give you one last chance, just be my furnace!"
"What else?" Shiji suddenly laughed, and her smile was exceptionally bright.
Yan Luo was stunned, and then became furious.
This bastard actually laughed?
Bright red blood gushed out of Shiji's body, and his muscles and tendons were cracked inch by inch, as if they would shatter into pieces at any time.
But his expression was still smiling, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned in a graceful curve, like a blooming peony.
Yan Luo's heart beat faster. Is this guy asking for death?
He frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
Before he could figure out the reason, he saw the young man in front of him reveal a sarcastic smile: "Hehe, even if I die, I will drag you to be buried with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes instantly turned as dark as ink, revealing a deep dark aura.
Shiji's body swelled up and became larger. His surface was covered with dense black lines, like worms entangled in him.
"Damn beast!" Yan Luo screamed, loosened his foot that was stepping on Shiji, and quickly backed away.
A huge pit was blown out where Yan Luo had just stood.
After the smoke and dust cleared, Shiji was half-kneeling on the ground, with scarlet blood foam oozing from the corners of his mouth, blurring his handsome and seductive facial features.
His body still maintained its expanded posture, but his breath was extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished and vanish into nothing at any time.
Yan Luo's face looked extremely ugly.
What kind of weird move is this?
He had lived for hundreds of years, but this was the first time he encountered such a strange enemy. It was simply unbelievable.
"Save you? Just relying on him?" Yan Luo sneered.
With one sword, he cut the chains that bound Shiji's hands and feet, and the chains fell to the ground with a crash.
Shiji gripped the dagger tightly, staggered to his feet, and rushed towards Yan Luo.
"Hmph, you're looking for death!" Yan Luo snorted coldly and raised his sword to face Shiji.
Shiji blocked Yan Luo's attack with a dagger, which surprised Yan Luo greatly, because his weapon was a top-grade treasure.
"As expected of this furnace that I have chosen, your aptitude is indeed extraordinary. However, you are only in the early stage of the Xiantian realm after all. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot change the final outcome."
Yan Luo sneered and slapped Shiji on the chest.
"Puff!" Shiji spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. He fell to the ground, struggled for a few times, and then completely lost consciousness.
Yan Luo walked up to Shiji, bent down, picked him up by his collar, and threw him into the corner like garbage.
Next, he will use this body to practice martial arts.
“Don’t blame me for being cruel, you little bastard.” Yan Luo fumbled to take off the jade pendant from Shiji’s waist, put it in his arms, and then carried him away.
In the early morning, the sun shines all over the earth.
Shiji opened her eyes and found herself lying in a tidy bedroom.
The sheets were clean and tidy, and the furnishings in the room were of the finest quality.
Shiji looked around and it was obviously not the Chu Mansion.
He clearly remembered that after being knocked unconscious by Yama Luo last night, he was thrown into Yama Palace.
Shiji endured the pain, climbed up, and began to check his physical condition.
He found that he had multiple injuries, especially the abdominal injuries which were horrible to look at. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago.
Shiji walked to the desk, picked up a pen and started writing a letter.
After a moment, he put the written letter into a brocade bag, stuffed it under the bed, and then covered it with the quilt.
"Brother, you should take good care of yourself. When I have taken revenge, I will definitely seek justice for you." Shiji stroked the brocade bag gently and said in a low voice.
After hiding the brocade bag, Shiji put on her clothes and quietly slipped out of the yard.
He walked to the corner of the street and put on a cloak to hide his face.
Then, he followed the route he remembered and came to the northeast gate of the imperial city.
The guard saw that he was in tattered clothes and looked strange, so he stopped him and asked, "Who are you?"
Shiji bowed and said, "I have something urgent to do, please be flexible."
"Urgent?" The guard looked at him suspiciously. "You are so anxious, is there a spy who sneaked into the imperial city?"
Shiji smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest with you two, I am the eldest grandson of the Minister of Justice, and my name is Shiji."
The guard was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh, so you are Shiji!"
The guard's attitude immediately became enthusiastic and he said, "Master Chu, please wait a moment. I will go and report to the commander."
After thanking them, Shiji waited patiently.
A moment later, the guard came over with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was wearing a purple robe and looked aggressive and domineering.
Shiji felt strange.
Although this middle-aged man was dressed luxuriously, his aura was very weak. He was only at the peak of his innate state.
Why were the guards so afraid of him?
Is he a relative of the emperor? Or does he have a monstrous background?
The middle-aged man stared at Shiji, examined her and asked, "I heard you were looking for me?"
Shi Ji said, "That's right. I was ordered by my parents to go to Chu State to look for materials for refining medicine. I happened to pass by here, so I wanted to pay a visit to Lord Yan. I wonder if Lord Yan would be willing to meet me?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Luo's eyes rolled.
"Minister Chu? I've never heard of you, so I'm afraid you don't know me. But since you are the alchemist appointed by the emperor, I will go with you." Yan Luo said, and then ordered the guards, "Go and get my treasure."
The treasure that Yan Luo mentioned should be that top-grade treasure.
Shiji followed Yanluo out.
The two walked all the way to the vicinity of Yama Palace.
"This is it." Yan Luo pointed at the Yan Luo Palace and said, "You go in first, I'll wait for you outside."
"Thank you, Lord Yama." Shiji nodded in thanks and walked into the Yama Palace with her long legs.
Yan Luo hid in the corner and looked inside. (End of this chapter)
