"Boy, I'll remember you!"

The Netherworld Ancestor's expression suddenly darkened.

He never expected that Shi Ji's strength was so formidable, which greatly shocked him.

But the Netherworld Ancestor did not stop there. He flashed and pounced on Shi Ji, then raised his foot and kicked her hard.

Shi Ji snorted coldly and kicked at the Netherworld Ancestor as well.

The two collided violently once again.

Shi Ji stood still, motionless.

In contrast, the Netherworld Ancestor staggered back several meters before regaining his footing.

Shi Ji sneered and said, "Ancestor of the Netherworld! Your strength is nothing more than this. I advise you to leave here quickly, otherwise, you will surely lose your life here today!"

"You arrogant fool, die!"

The Netherworld Ancestor roared in fury.

This guy was completely enraged and decided to use forbidden supernatural powers.

The supernatural power cultivated by the Netherworld Ancestor is called the Netherworld King's Soul Devouring Technique.

This supernatural power is said to be extremely mysterious.

Endless blood-red light appeared in the eyes of the Netherworld Ancestor.

The crimson light quickly condensed in his hand, transforming into a three-foot-long blood-red blade.

This blood-red blade exudes a destructive aura.

Shi Ji frowned. What kind of supernatural power was this? He had never seen it before.

Immediately afterwards, the Netherworld Ancestor let out a low shout.

The blood-red blade slashed down suddenly.

The blade's edge clashed with the stone, producing a sound like metal striking metal.

Shi Ji continuously resisted the attacks of the Netherworld Ancestor.

His expression shifted between light and dark.

This Netherworld Ancestor is indeed powerful; he truly deserves to be called an old monster.

"Hehe, kid, let's see how you fight against your ancestor!"

The Netherworld Ancestor revealed a sinister expression and slashed at Shi Ji one after another.

Each strike was incredibly powerful, to an unbelievable degree.

Shi Ji felt an unprecedented crisis.

The Netherworld Ancestor's attacks were extremely fierce.

Shi Ji felt that he was completely unable to cope, but he was not afraid and began to activate the five-fold domineering magnetic field to amplify his various supernatural abilities.

When the five-fold domineering magnetic field is integrated into Shi Ji's various supernatural abilities.

Shi Ji's combat power surged instantly.

He unleashed a powerful divine ability, suddenly sweeping a punch towards the Netherworld Ancestor.

Shi Ji's fist, imbued with the force of thunder, slammed heavily into the chest of the Netherworld Ancestor, instantly piercing through his chest. Blood gushed out, staining his clothes crimson.

The Netherworld Ancestor let out a shrill scream, his resentful eyes fixed on Shi Ji, a thought of escape welling up in his mind.

However, Shi Ji would not let him leave so easily.

"Trying to escape? Leave your life behind first!" Shi Ji coldly shouted.

"Boy, how dare you be so disrespectful to your ancestor! You'll suffer the consequences later!" The Netherworld Ancestor roared through gritted teeth.

He quickly conjured a precious armor and donned it.

Shi Ji's terrifying punch was blocked by the armor conjured by the Netherworld Ancestor using his magic power.

"Hmm? A defensive immortal artifact?" Shi Ji was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself that this guy was indeed very wealthy.

"Hehe, now I'll show you how powerful I am!" The Netherworld Ancestor grinned maliciously, then quickly took out a jade tube.

The jade tube shimmered with light, and countless runes surged from within, all of which flowed into the crimson demonic spear.

The crimson demonic spear trembled violently, transforming into a streak of light that shot towards Shi Ji at incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, the demonic spear pierced through Shi Ji's body, piercing half of his body.

But Shi Ji did not die as a result.

His body instantly returned to normal, and he reached out and tightly gripped the blood-red demonic spear.

With a "whoosh," Shi Ji suddenly pulled out the demonic spear.

A terrifyingly powerful devouring force surged from the demonic spear, attempting to continue consuming Shi Ji.

Shi Ji snorted coldly, and her right leg swept fiercely towards the demonic spear like a whip.

With a loud "bang", the Demon Spear was swept away by Shi Ji's kick.

"What? How is this possible?" The Netherworld Ancestor exclaimed in shock, unable to believe his eyes.

His demonic spear is an innate spiritual treasure with incredible power.

Even a cultivator at the Quasi-Emperor level could be fatally wounded by a sneak attack from his demonic spear.

However, his demonic spear failed to cause any harm to Shi Ji, and Shi Ji easily broke through his divine power.

The Netherworld Ancestor took a deep breath and felt the terrifying fluctuations emanating from Shi Ji's body, causing a sense of unease to rise in his heart.

This guy's combat power is just too strong.

The Netherworld Ancestor's face was ashen. Although he was furious, he knew that if he delayed any longer, he would probably die at Shi Ji's hands.

Then, the Netherworld Ancestor turned and sped away into the distance.

Shi Ji sneered and strode after him.

"Want to catch up with me, the Ancestor? Not so easy!" The Netherworld Ancestor glanced at Shi Ji with a mocking look, then slapped Shi Ji with his palm.

He attempted to use his powerful cultivation to distract Shi Ji and take the opportunity to escape her pursuit.

But Shi Ji was prepared. He quickly dodged the Netherworld Ancestor's attack and then charged towards him. Shi Ji leaped up and landed steadily on the Netherworld Ancestor's head.

"Boy, since you like to stand on my head and act wildly, then I'll play along! Let's see who likes to stand on the enemy's head more!" Before the words were finished, Shi Ji kicked the Netherworld Ancestor in the face.

Instantly, the Netherworld Ancestor's nose broke, and all his teeth shattered and fell to the ground.

Shi Ji then stomped on the Netherworld Ancestor's chest again, crushing it relentlessly.

The ribs of the Netherworld Ancestor kept breaking, and many ribs even pierced his heart, causing him severe injuries.

"Spare...spare me..." the Netherworld Ancestor pleaded.

Shi Ji looked indifferently at the Netherworld Ancestor, "I've said it before, those who dare to provoke me usually have no way out. Now you've chosen your own death."

The Netherworld Ancestor was in utter despair; Shi Ji was about to kill him. But he was unwilling to die like this, especially not at the hands of a monstrous genius like Shi Ji.

"You little beast, I curse you to die a horrible death!" said the Netherworld Ancestor viciously.

Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly burst into flames.

He actually chose to self-destruct!
If a powerhouse of the level of the Netherworld Ancestor were to self-destruct, how terrifying would the power be?
It will inevitably cause catastrophic destruction.

"Watch out! Back up quickly! Don't get hit by the explosion!" Nangong Lingwei shouted loudly, her pretty face pale.

Even if the Netherworld Ancestor self-destructed, she would still find it difficult to withstand its power.

Therefore, she wanted to remind Shi Ji.

But Shi Ji clearly wouldn't listen to her advice.

Shi Ji moved with lightning speed, rushing directly towards the self-destructing Netherworld Ancestor.

Immediately afterwards, a series of violent collision sounds rang out.

Shi Ji and the self-destructing Netherworld Ancestor were shot several kilometers away.

But Shi Ji was not injured.

The Netherworld Ancestor vanished into thin air, completely perishing in his self-destruction.

Nangong Lingwei was stunned.

She never expected things to turn out this way.

She had initially thought that Shi Ji would be reduced to ashes by the self-destruction of the Netherworld Ancestor. But the reality was quite the opposite; Shi Ji was unharmed, while the Netherworld Ancestor died in the self-destruction.

This world is truly surreal.

Shi Ji completely dealt with the terrifying character of the Netherworld Ancestor, and Nangong Lingwei couldn't help but be a little stunned when she looked at him.

"Thank you for saving me, young master. If it weren't for you, I would surely be dead today." Nangong Lingwei quickly bowed to Shiji to express her gratitude.

Nangong Lingwei was exceptionally beautiful and possessed the qualities of a "femme fatale," but at this moment she was extremely respectful, clearly showing her heartfelt gratitude towards Shiji.

"No need to be polite, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment," Shi Ji said calmly.

Then, Shi Ji asked, "Why are you here in the Ghost Mist Mountains?"

“Young master, you may not know this, but the Ghost Mist Mountain Range actually hides a great secret,” Nangong Lingwei said.

"Oh?" Shi Ji was quite surprised, wondering if there was some earth-shattering secret in the Ghost Mist Mountains. Otherwise, Nangong Lingwei would not have appeared here.

Nangong Lingwei explained: "In the past, the owner of this Ghost Mist Mountain Range was a powerful alchemist who transformed this mountain range into a forbidden area."

This place is home to many precious medicinal herbs, of very high quality, and it's said that there are even quite a few miraculous ones!

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji couldn't help but gasp.

This Ghost Mist Mountain Range is indeed extraordinary, hiding many divine medicines; it is truly a great secret.

"Do you know where those miraculous medicines are located?" Shi Ji asked.

Nangong Lingwei shook her head and said, "I only come to this Ghost Mist Mountain Range occasionally, and each time I only stay for three to five days before leaving. I have never explored the interior of the mountain range in detail."

The mountain's master once laid down numerous magical arrays to protect the divine herbs, so finding them will likely be quite a task. I wonder if you, young master, could help my sister and me find these herbs?

“No problem, let’s go,” Shi Ji replied.

"Thank you for your help, young master!" Nangong Lingwei said gratefully.

Half a day later, Shi Ji stopped and said, "It's just ahead. A divine herb was just picked not long ago!"

"Thank you for informing me, young master. Let's go take a look."

Nangong Lingwei took out a luminous pearl for illumination, while Shiji walked forward with her hands behind her back.

Nangong Lingwei followed beside Shi Ji and asked, "May I ask your honorable name, young master?"

"So it's Young Master Chu."

Nangong Lingwei suddenly realized what was happening.

She had a very good impression of Shi Ji and naturally hoped that her benefactor would have a smooth journey. Regardless of whether she could obtain the jade talisman in the end, it would be good if Shi Ji owed her a favor.

Nangong Lingwei's beautiful face flushed slightly as she said, "My name is Nangong Lingwei!"

"Nangong Lingwei! What a wonderful name!" Shi Ji exclaimed.

He then asked, "Isn't this a forbidden place? How could such a deadly poisonous insect suddenly appear here?"

“We don’t know either. My sister and I are just ordinary cultivators, and we rarely come to this dangerous place,” Nangong Lingwei said.

Shi Ji nodded, then continued walking deeper into the area.

Just then, Nangong Lingwei let out a soft cry.

Shi Ji quickly looked in the direction she was pointing.

A clump of grass swayed slightly in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a green vine shot out and wrapped around the rock.

Shi Ji swept her hand, and the green vine was instantly snapped.

But Shi Ji couldn't help but frown. How could an ancient tree suddenly appear here?
Moreover, this ancient tree is very strange; the vines extending from its branches seem to be highly poisonous, capable of killing even the creatures of the fairy realm.

Shi Ji felt that this matter was definitely not simple.

"Young Master! Be careful! These vines are poisonous!" Nangong Lingwei exclaimed. She hurriedly dodged the vines, and in her haste, she almost got caught in them.

Fortunately, Shi Ji intervened and shattered the green vines.

Nangong Lingwei quickly hid behind Shiji, her face flushed.

Shi Ji turned around and grasped Nangong Lingwei's soft, boneless hand. Nangong Lingwei was startled and tried to pull away.

However, Shi Ji held on tightly.

Nangong Lingwei couldn't break free at all, and said with both shame and anger, "Let me go!"

“It’s dangerous here, it’ll be safer if we join forces!” Shi Ji said.

Nangong Lingwei stopped struggling and let Shi Ji hold her hand.

She felt as if the rocky shore was bathed in warm sunshine, making her feel comfortable and relaxed. The feeling was indescribable.

At this moment, Shi Ji discovered a divine herb and was slightly taken aback. It was a flame lotus, surrounded by swirling flames.

These flames were extremely strange, containing terrifying burning power.

This was the first time Shi Ji had ever seen a divine medicine with fire attributes.

"Young Master, this is a Flame Lotus! This is a priceless treasure; even a Celestial Lord-level expert would fight tooth and nail for it!"

The Flame Lotus, a rare and precious fire-attribute divine medicine, is highly prized if successfully refined.
This can help fire-attribute cultivators achieve a level leap.

"What are the effects of this flaming lotus?" Shi Ji asked.

"After consuming it, one can condense the Vermilion Bird Sacred Flame! This is a unique flame with astonishing power!"

“So it’s a strange fire. Then this divine herb is mine, and we’ll split the rest equally, how about that?” Shi Ji said with a smile.

Nangong Lingwei declined, saying, "How could I possibly accept that?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Shi Ji responded with a smile, then stretched out her right hand and grasped the Flaming Lotus in her hand.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Ji put away the Flame Lotus and continued to guide Nangong Lingwei forward.

Shi Ji had no intention of refining the Flame Lotus.

He possesses a heaven-defying chaotic bloodline, so he doesn't need to rely on strange fire to improve his cultivation for the time being.

But he planned to give the flaming lotus to someone else.

For example, the Evil Saint.

Shi Ji planned to give this Flame Lotus to the Evil Lord Saint.

After the Evil Saint's cultivation level improves, he will definitely become his powerful assistant.

Although Shiji and the Evil Saint had only known each other for a short time...
But we've known each other for a long time and can be considered friends.

Since we are friends, we should naturally support each other.

Nangong Lingwei did not expect Shiji to act so decisively.

“I haven’t agreed to be your maid yet,” she said.

“Then you’ll become my maid first!” Shi Ji replied.

Nangong Lingwei pouted, her pretty face blushing even more, but she did not refuse.

She wanted to see if Shiji could really help her improve her cultivation.

If Shiji truly intends this, then that would be wonderful.

"What should we do now? We're trapped here!" Nangong Lingwei asked.

"We're retreating step by step towards the outer perimeter; this poisonous creature shouldn't be able to penetrate so easily!"

“Yes, I will do as you say, young master,” Nangong Lingwei replied.

The two then retreated to the outer perimeter.

Soon after, they left the ancient forest. Shi Ji looked at Nangong Lingwei and said, "We're out now, let's part ways!"

Nangong Lingwei said, "How can that be? What if I encounter danger?"

Shi Ji touched her nose and smiled, "I believe in your abilities."

Nangong Lingwei pouted and said, "You womanizer."

“I have no romantic intentions,” Shi Ji laughed.

Nangong Lingwei said, "Young Master! This humble servant dares not presume to presume!" (End of Chapter)
