Shi Ji's expression changed drastically.

At this moment, his body was already restrained and he was unable to break free.

"Pfft!" A sound of flesh being torn apart echoed through the sky.

The black knife pierced Shi Ji's chest, and his body instantly shattered.

Su Rong'er was overjoyed when she saw Shi Ji's "corpse". She grabbed Shi Ji's "corpse" and rushed to a carriage.

Then, she pulled the carriage and fled into the distance.

Shi Ji roared in fury as his true form escaped from the being summoned by the Celestial Master's talisman.

But his true form was almost destroyed by Su Rong'er.

This lowly servant girl is definitely not simple; I wonder what kind of powerful, evil, and unorthodox practices she has cultivated.

"Young master! Young master, what's wrong?"

When the Lin family servants saw Shi Ji being kidnapped by Su Rong'er, they were instantly terrified and their faces turned ashen.

In their view, with Shi Ji arrested, the Lin family would surely face disaster and be doomed.

"Quickly, chase after her! You must catch up with Su Rong'er and rescue the young master!"

The Lin family's guard captain, with a cold expression, gave a stern order and then led a large group of men in a hasty pursuit.

However, Su Rong'er quickly disappeared into the vast night, leaving no trace.

At this moment, Shi Ji's sealed cultivation gradually recovered, but he was in no hurry to remove the restraints on his body. He was curious and wanted to see what Su Rong'er was planning, so he pretended to be unconscious.

"Why has the young master fainted? Will something bad happen to him?"

One of the guards said worriedly, "If Shi Ji is poisoned to death by Su Rong'er, that would be terrible."

"Don't talk nonsense! The young master is a lucky man, how could he die so easily?"

Another guard reprimanded him sternly.

"But the young master was indeed poisoned and knocked unconscious," the guard muttered softly.

Shi Ji slowly opened her eyes and said calmly, "I am safe and sound, there is no need to worry!"

Hearing Shi Ji's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, although Shi Ji survived, she was severely injured by Su Rong'er.

Therefore, he must heal his wounds as soon as possible.

Shi Ji took out a healing elixir, swallowed it, then sat cross-legged, circulated her Dragon Elephant Overlord Qi to suppress the restless blood and qi in her body, and began to concentrate on healing.

Back then, Shi Ji's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, increasing three or four times in one fell swoop.

But now, his realm has fallen back to the Emperor Realm.

Moreover, even his magical power failed to recover, which is the drawback of his decline in cultivation level.

After one's cultivation level drops, their magical power will gradually diminish.

Even with the help of elixirs, it would still take a long time for one's cultivation level to gradually recover.

If a cultivator can obtain immortal stones or even immortal crystals, they can quickly recover their cultivation level.

Shi Ji originally planned to find an opportunity to seize the Immortal Stone, but the Immortal Stone was extremely rare, and finding it was no easy task.

Moreover, he is currently trapped inside the Mountain and River Ring, making it even more difficult for him to seize the immortal stones.

Half a day later, Shi Ji's body finally recovered completely.

He stood up and saw the old farmer lying on the ground. It was this old farmer who had first told him that the girl was a demon in disguise. Shi Ji was grateful to the old farmer.

"Uncle, what's your name?" Shi Ji asked the old farmer softly.

"My name is Chen Daniu! Young master, could you please take good care of my girl? I would rather die than lose her, but my girl is still young. I hope you can adopt her." Chen Daniu looked at Shi Ji with pleading eyes.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll take care of this. I promise that no matter what happens, I won't hurt my little sister."

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!" Chen Daniu kowtowed repeatedly, tears streaming down his face.

Shi Ji waved his hand, indicating that Chen Daniu didn't need to be so polite. Then, he looked at Su Rong'er and asked, "Miss, who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

Su Rong'er sneered and said, "Who am I? You should have guessed by now, right? A scum like you deserves to die a hundred times over. Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and kill you, you villain!"

Su Rong'er was sharp-tongued, and every time she made a sarcastic remark about Shi Ji, she wished she could tear him to pieces.

"Pah! Shameless filthy woman!" Shi Ji cursed angrily.

Su Rong'er's expression changed slightly, and a murderous intent surged in her eyes.

She never expected that Shi Ji, despite being so seriously injured, would still dare to insult her.

"Hmph! Once you wake up, I'll make you taste the most painful torture in the world."

Su Rong'er sneered, then produced a bell.

The bell emitted a violent vibration, and Shi Ji's head immediately began to throb.

He frowned, realizing that the bell seemed to be absorbing memories from the depths of his soul, and at an increasingly faster pace.

"What the hell is this thing? Stop it!"

Shi Ji roared through gritted teeth, feeling the bell pulling at his memories, which both shocked and enraged him.

"Boy, you are utterly foolish! Since you knew I was a demon, why didn't you run away sooner? Now it's too late to escape. I will devour your spirit and take over your body."

"Then I will gain all your memories! You all just wait, I will reign supreme over the heavens and trample everyone under my feet!"

Su Rong'er looked at Shi Ji with resentment and venom.

Shi Ji's mind raced. Could it be that this Su Rong'er had some connection to her past life?
However, as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he shook his head.

In his previous life, he had never provoked Su Rong'er.

Shi Ji said in a deep voice, "Little girl, stop resisting! You are no match for me. If you are willing to submit to me, perhaps I will spare your life!"

Su Rong'er said coldly, "You despicable and shameless scum of the human race, do you even deserve my submission? Today, I will show you my power!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Rong'er took the bell and shook it vigorously.

A series of sword cries echoed softly.

The dense sword energy quickly condensed into shape.

Then, like a raging tide, they rushed towards Shi Ji, seemingly intent on killing him completely.

"I'd like to see just how capable you are, you demon!"

Shi Ji shouted and swung her fist, instantly destroying the surging sword energy.

"Huh, it actually managed to break through my sword energy." Su Rong'er looked surprised, clearly unaware that Shi Ji possessed such formidable combat power, but she did not lose her composure because of it.

"Demon! Today is your death day! I will tear you to pieces!"

Su Rong'er spoke in a sinister voice, her tone vicious.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Rong'er unleashed another terrifying attack.

Countless runes appeared in the void.

These runes intertwined and quickly formed a huge array.

The massive formation descended upon Shi Ji, seemingly intent on completely suppressing him within it.

Shi Ji remained calm, slowly raised her right hand, and gently patted the air.

Lightning and thunder swirled wildly in his palm.

Lightning bolts struck the massive array with tremendous force. In an instant, a series of cracking and tearing sounds filled the air.

The massive formation was instantly destroyed, collapsing completely.

Shi Ji burst out of the broken formation and immediately struck Su Rong'er with a palm.

The forces of both sides collided violently.

Su Rong'er screamed as her body was sent flying several meters away by Shi Ji's palm strike.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her face instantly turned ashen.

Shi Ji looked at Su Rong'er with an indifferent expression and said coldly, "Are you still thinking about how to suppress me?"

Su Rong'er's pretty face was as pale as snow, her expression one of despair, her heart filled with resentment.

She knew all too well that she could not change this predetermined outcome.

"Shi Ji, I curse you to a terrible death!"

Su Rong'er let out a sharp, piercing scream.

Immediately afterwards, her body exploded and then vanished without a trace.

Shi Ji sighed deeply and said, "You are kind by nature, why must you choose this path of no return?"

Su Rong'er has already perished, and the storage ring she left behind has fallen to the ground.

Shi Ji bent down and picked up the storage ring. After examining it carefully, she discovered that the storage ring indeed contained many treasures.

With all sorts of materials piled up like mountains, Shi Ji estimated that if she obtained these treasures, she would have more than enough to forge a powerful flying sword.

In addition to these precious cultivation resources, there were also some pills and even a few jade slips.

Of course, what pleased Shi Ji the most was that there were three ancient jade talismans inside Su Rong'er's storage ring.

Shi Ji took out three ancient jade talismans.

He crushed two of the jade talismans, but didn't crush the third one immediately, intending to study it carefully first. He discovered that this jade talisman seemed to contain a very special secret.

"This jade talisman is quite strange; it seems to contain a powerful sealing force."

Although the origin of this jade talisman is unknown, since Su Rong'er regards it as the most important thing, it must be priceless.

Moreover, this jade talisman truly possesses incredible power, so Shiji decided to keep it with her for now, and use it only if she encounters danger.

After Su Rong'er died, the young girl Su Mei'er hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

The girl got up and hurriedly fled the place.

Shi Ji then entered Su Rong'er's storage ring.

"So many cultivation resources! These resources are enough to equal the entire wealth of an ordinary Emperor-level expert."

He then continued searching the ring and, with exceptional luck, found a battle armor of near-immortal level.

"Wearing this battle armor and these quasi-immortal-grade battle boots, I will be fearless even when facing attacks from a fifth or sixth level Emperor Realm expert!"

He put on the quasi-immortal-level battle armor, and then put on the quasi-immortal-level battle boots as well.

These combat boots will help Shi Ji increase her speed and power.

After putting on the combat boots, Shi Ji's speed increased by about five times.

His speed is now comparable to that of a powerful expert at the seventh or eighth level of the Emperor Realm.

This is because he has just broken through to the peak of the second level of the Emperor Realm.

If Shi Ji's cultivation level improves further, his speed will become even more terrifying.

Of course, Shi Ji's current combat strength is far from reaching the peak of the second level of the Emperor Lord realm.

Shi Ji believed that as his cultivation level continued to improve, his combat strength would also increase accordingly. At that time, even if he encountered someone at the ninth level of the Emperor Realm, or even at the peak of the Emperor Realm, he would not need to worry about being no match for them.

He continued to glide forward, and soon he saw a giant ship anchored in the distance.

The giant ship emanated a chilling, terrifying aura.

Clearly, this giant ship was an extremely terrifying ancient vessel.

A strong aura of death lingered on the ancient ship.

Shi Ji speculated that this might be an ancient ship from the dead.

Just as he was about to leave, a terrifying aura spread out and instantly enveloped Shi Ji.

"Finally, I've found a young friend! You're so lucky!"

A sinister laugh rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a gaunt old man slowly stepped out of the ancient ship.

The old man's skin was bluish-black, and his body was withered like a dead tree.

His entire body was filled with an aura of death, so thick that he seemed like a demon that had just crawled out of the abyss of hell.

The old man recognized Shi Ji at a glance.

After all, Shi Ji's portrait had long been circulating throughout the Evil Alliance, and her photograph was even prominently displayed on the wall of the Evil Alliance's headquarters.

"Who exactly are you?" Shi Ji asked in a cold voice.

The old man grinned and said, "I am the Ancestor of the Netherworld!"

Upon hearing that this old fellow dared to brazenly announce his name, Shi Ji couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking to herself: Isn't this old fellow afraid that I will kill him?
However, Shi Ji also knew in her heart that the Netherworld Ancestor's cultivation was unfathomable and he was by no means an ordinary person.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous in front of me.

Shi Ji narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "What brings you here?"

The Netherworld Ancestor sneered and said, "Naturally, I've come for the treasure on your person, young friend! Your cultivation is so low, yet you were able to kill that lowly servant Su Rong'er. This is enough to prove that the treasure on your person is no ordinary object, isn't it?"

Shi Ji remained calm and said, "What? With your meager cultivation level, you think you can snatch my treasure? What a joke!"

"Boy, don't think you can challenge someone of a higher level and that I can't do anything to you?"

"If we're talking about pure strength, I, your ancestor, could probably kill ten of you with one slap!"

The Netherworld Ancestor grinned maliciously, his eyes filled with disdain, clearly not taking Shi Ji seriously at all.

This guy is really arrogant, but Shi Ji isn't angry.

After all, this Netherworld Ancestor certainly had the right to be arrogant.

He was a powerful being standing at the top of all the races in the heavens. Even if Shi Ji was proud and arrogant, she knew that she was no match for the Netherworld Ancestor. The Netherworld Ancestor did have the confidence to be arrogant.

Shi Ji remained calm and said, "Is that so? Since you are so powerful, then let's stop talking and get started!"

The Netherworld Ancestor's face instantly turned icy cold. Shi Ji's words clearly showed that she looked down on him. How could the Netherworld Ancestor swallow this insult?

"Once we catch you, the Ancestor will make you wish you were dead!"

The Netherworld Ancestor gritted his teeth and said viciously.

Immediately afterwards, the Netherworld Ancestor waved his hand, and boundless magical power surged out like a tidal wave.

The surging magical power instantly condensed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, and slammed down fiercely on Shi Ji.

Shi Ji unleashed the Dragon-Elephant Arm and the Stone Embryo Phantom, and suddenly punched the giant hand.

With a loud crash, Shi Ji collided violently with the giant hand.

How powerful was Shi Ji's physical body?
With that single punch, the giant hand formed from condensed magical power collapsed instantly. (End of Chapter)
