Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

He decided to get closer to observe.

However, the moment he took a step, three incomparably powerful auras rushed in from his side and rear without warning and locked onto him instantly!
Shi Ji felt a chill run down her spine and immediately turned around, becoming fully alert.

There were three people who came.

The leader was a handsome young man with a deep, sinister air about him. He held a jade-bone folding fan and waved it gently, appearing carefree, but his eyes were as cold as knives.

The two people following behind were even more formidable.

The person on the left is extremely tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, wearing a black robe, his face hidden in the shadow of the hood, only revealing a pair of eyes that gleam with green light.

The man on the right was the complete opposite. He was extremely burly and strong, nearly ten feet tall, with bulging muscles, like an iron tower. Just standing there, he gave people a suffocating sense of oppression. The bloody and violent aura emanating from his body was almost tangible.

These three men, especially the burly giant, posed a strong threat to Shi Ji.

The other party's gaze was filled with undisguised, chilling killing intent.

Shi Ji's gaze swept over the burly giant, and she immediately understood.

This person is named Long Aoxuan, a fearsome general in the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races.

Previously, in the Dark Abyss, in order to protect herself and seize resources, Shi Ji clashed with four of her capable subordinates and killed them all.

It seems they've come seeking revenge.

Long Aoxuan stared intently at Shi Ji, a cruel smile spreading across his lips, his voice like the grinding of sand: "Hmph!"

Shiji!

You didn't expect it, did you? We've met again so soon!
"You certainly know how to pick a spot, hiding in this godforsaken place, making me search high and low!"

The tall, thin man beside him let out a sinister laugh, his voice sharp and piercing: "Brother Long, why waste your breath on a dying man? Let's take advantage of his isolation and join forces to take him down!"

Only by extracting their souls and refining their spirits can we quell the hatred in our hearts!

Another burly giant was even more direct, roaring in a deep, booming voice, "Why waste words with him! Kill him! Use his blood and soul to appease my fallen brothers, and it will also temper our supernatural powers!"

Long Aoxuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He snapped his folding fan shut, pointed it at Shi Ji, and said sharply, "Good! Let's attack together and finish this quickly! This young master will make him wish he were dead!"

Before he could finish speaking, Long Aoxuan leaped up!

The jade-bone fan in his hand was not just an ornament, but a rare celestial artifact. Sharp blades sprang out from the tips of the fan ribs, transforming into a streak of light that pierced straight into Shi Ji's throat with astonishing speed!

Almost simultaneously, the tall, thin man formed hand seals and chanted incantations. His body shone with a bright green light, and several venomous snakes formed from strange energy appeared out of thin air, hissing as they lunged at Shi Ji from different angles!

The burly giant let out a deafening roar, his large, fan-like hand clenched into a fist, the force of which was so powerful it could shatter mountains and split rocks, and he smashed it down hard on Shi Ji's head!

The three powerful figures were all ruthless characters, and their attacks were all thunderous killing moves. They clearly did not want to give Shi Ji any chance to breathe!

Faced with this overwhelming and deadly attack, Shi Ji's pupils shrank slightly, but she did not panic.

The insights gained at the altar finally have a chance to be put to use!
His magical power surged and circulated within him, his hands rapidly tracing mysterious paths in front of his chest, as he uttered a low shout:
"The Nine Celestial Masters, the Prison-Suppressing Seal!"

In an instant, countless ancient and mysterious runes burst forth from his palm, rapidly intertwining and condensing into a massive seal that exuded an aura of vastness, weight, and suppression of all!

Above the seal, there seemed to be roaring phantoms of gods and demons, and scenes of hell rising and falling. A terrifying wave that could shake the heavens and earth and make all things submit suddenly spread out!
Rumble——!
The attacks from both sides collided violently, unleashing a deafening roar!

An energy storm swept out, scraping away a thick layer of the ground, and even the distant pool was shaken, sending up waves several meters high.

The seemingly invincible combined attack of Long Aoxuan and others was as fragile as paper in the face of the absolute suppressive power of the Prison Suppression Seal, crumbling and disintegrating inch by inch!
The violent recoil caused all three to grunt simultaneously, their bodies flying uncontrollably backward for a full hundred meters before they could barely regain their footing, their faces showing disbelief and horror!
They never expected that Shi Ji's strength would improve so much in such a short time!

Long Aoxuan felt the churning blood and qi within his body and the tingling numbness in his arm. He was both shocked and furious. The thought of his lost subordinates and his current disheveled state brought forth a surge of old and new grudges, completely igniting his violent tendencies.

His face was contorted, his eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a hysterical roar:
"Ah—! You little beast! I, Long Aoxuan, swear to the heavens that I will skin you alive, tear your tendons out, and shred you to pieces!"

"Ah—! You little beast! I, Long Aoxuan, swear to the heavens that I will skin you alive, tear your tendons out, and shred you to pieces!"

Long Aoxuan's roar echoed like that of a wounded beast across the desolate sky. His eyes were bloodshot, and what surged within them was not only killing intent, but also a deep-seated hatred that even the waters of the Three Rivers and Five Lakes could not wash away, along with a trace of shame and indignation at being publicly defeated.

How could he, a prominent figure in the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, have ever suffered such humiliation? If Shi Ji is not reduced to ashes today, how will he ever gain a foothold in the Alliance again?
The man holding the Frost Halberd beside him not only did not offer any words of comfort, but instead let out a series of chilling laughs, which sounded like the hooting of an owl and were extremely piercing.

The murderous aura emanating from him was almost tangible, causing the surrounding air temperature to drop sharply, and even causing a thin layer of white frost to condense on the ground.

"Brother Long, why waste your breath on this dying man? Let's see how long he can remain arrogant! We should all join forces, capture him quickly, and extract his soul for purification—that's the only right thing to do!"

The chill in his words was even greater than the frost on his halberd.

Upon hearing this, Long Aoxuan forcibly suppressed the anger that was about to burst from his chest. He knew that his companion was right; in a one-on-one fight, it seemed that he was unlikely to gain the upper hand.

He let out a cold shout, said no more, and his figure, like a blood-red arrow released from a bow, pounced on Shi Ji once again!

This time, he held nothing back. His powerful magical energy surged and flowed, all of it poured into the blood-red spear in his hand. The spear tip trembled, emitting a bloodthirsty buzzing sound. He thrust the spear straight at Shi Ji's heart, determined to kill her with one blow!
Faced with this deadly blow delivered with fury, Shi Ji's expression remained calm as still water.

He knew that Long Aoxuan was a formidable opponent with powerful cultivation, and he had to deal with him with caution.

Seeing the spear tip approaching his chest, he did not choose to dodge. Instead, he lowered his waist and stood on his right, clenching his fist so tightly that his bones made a slight cracking sound.

There are no fancy moves, no dazzling lights, just the simplest and most direct punch!
This punch contained his deeper understanding of the essence of power after his enlightenment. It seemed simple and unadorned, but in fact it contained the power to shatter mountains and split rocks. Wherever the fist passed, even space was slightly distorted!

"boom--!"

The fist and the spear tip collided violently, producing a deafening explosion! A violent energy shockwave spread rapidly in a ring outwards from the point of impact, stirring up sand and gravel everywhere.

The results were astonishing!

Long Aoxuan felt an irresistible force coming from the gun, his tiger's mouth instantly split open, blood gushing out, his entire arm was numb and sore, and his body uncontrollably staggered back more than ten steps before he could barely steady himself, his face filled with disbelief and horror!

"How is this possible?! His power... how could it have increased so much?!"

Long Aoxuan's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

Not long ago, Shi Ji could only barely hold her own against him. How could she have gained the strength to confront him head-on and even suppress him in such a short time? An absurd thought involuntarily popped into his head: Could it be that Shi Ji now truly has the qualifications to stand on equal footing with him?
But the moment that thought appeared, it was fiercely extinguished by Long Aoxuan's strong sense of pride.

He shook his head violently, as if trying to banish the "absurd" idea from his mind.

Instead, there was an even stronger murderous intent and a sense of humiliation and anger.

He forcibly suppressed his surprise and doubt, forced a contemptuous expression onto his face, and sneered, "Kid!"
I didn't expect you to actually have some skills hidden!
But do you think that with this sudden surge of brute strength, you can stand on equal footing with me? That's utterly ridiculous!
A frog at the bottom of a well knows not the vastness of the Milky Way!
Today, I, this young master, will wake you up and let you remember with your own body what an insurmountable gap truly means!

Before he could finish speaking, Long Aoxuan suddenly attacked again!

His figure was like a roc spreading its wings. He suddenly leaped up and soared more than ten meters into the air. Using the momentum of his fall, he poured all his magical power into his spear. The spear instantly transformed into a blood-red lightning bolt that tore through the sky. With the force of splitting Mount Hua, it slammed down on Shi Ji's crown!

This attack was even more powerful than before, clearly showing that he was serious and determined to kill Shi Ji in one fell swoop!

However, Shi Ji remained calm.

His feet were rooted to the ground as he looked up at the fierce and unparalleled spear light. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he threw another punch to meet it!

The force of the punch soared into the sky, like a meteor flowing against the current, carrying an indomitable determination!
"boom--!"

It was another head-on clash without any fancy tricks!
With a deafening roar, the energy exploded once more.

The result remains the same!

Long Aoxuan was once again sent flying backward by the powerful force of the fist. When he landed, he staggered and the laceration on his tiger's mouth was even deeper, and the blood almost stained the shaft of his spear.

His blood and qi were churning violently, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Shi Ji coldly looked at the disheveled Long Aoxuan, a cold smile curving her lips, and sneered, "Your cultivation is indeed not bad, but unfortunately, compared to me, you are still lacking."

It seems you're used to being arrogant and domineering, and lack real tempering.

Today, on behalf of your elders, I will teach you how to be a good person!

So that you won't continue barking like a mad dog in the future, only to annoy people!
I'll cut off your arm first, so you'll taste the pain that cuts to the core and understand what it means to be outmatched and to know that there are always people more capable than you!
Then I'll take your life, to settle this absurd life of yours!

Having said that, Shi Ji gave the other party no chance to breathe, took a step forward, and her figure approached Long Aoxuan like a ghost.

His right hand formed a claw with five fingers, and a vortex seemed to be generated in his palm. A powerful suction force instantly enveloped Long Aoxuan—it was his signature grappling technique!

This technique is incredibly ingenious. If successful, it can not only subdue the enemy but also seize their personal treasures, making it extremely practical.

Shi Ji had a deep understanding of this technique, and when she unleashed it now, it was as fast as lightning, and she was determined to win!

Just as the hand containing the power of restraint was about to grip Long Aoxuan's shoulder, a sudden change occurred!
"Om-!"

The seemingly inconspicuous half of the black iron chain wrapped around Long Aoxuan's wrist suddenly trembled violently, emitting a rapid buzzing sound!

The next moment, the iron chain, like a living venomous snake, automatically sprang out from his wrist at a speed that exceeded the limits of what the naked eye could perceive!

With a flash of dark light, the iron chain ignored the spatial distance and instantly appeared behind Shi Ji. The chain head was sharp as a spear, and with a piercing "hissing" sound, it viciously stabbed straight at Shi Ji's vital point in the back!
This sneak attack was extremely precise in timing and angle, clearly his trump card for survival!
Upon seeing this, the Poison Ancestor and the Evil Saint, who had been watching the battle intently from afar, couldn't help but exclaim in alarm, "Master, be careful!"

Their hearts leaped into their throats; this sudden and bizarre attack was truly impossible to defend against!

In the blink of an eye, Shi Ji remained calm despite her surprise!
The chilling killing intent emanating from behind made his hair stand on end, but his powerful spiritual sense had already detected the subtle energy fluctuations.

Just as the chain tip was about to touch his robe, he suddenly turned to the side, and at the same time, his left arm lashed out backward like a steel whip, his fist gleaming with brilliant light, and he smashed it with perfect accuracy towards the dark light!
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

A series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds rang out!

The seemingly indestructible "Heaven-Binding Rope," which Long Aoxuan regarded as a treasure, was shattered into countless fragments by Shi Ji's punch, which contained terrifying power, just like rotten wood.
"What?! No—! This is impossible!"

Long Aoxuan watched helplessly as the Heaven-Binding Rope, which he had refined over many years and devoted countless efforts to, was destroyed. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and his face was filled with extreme shock and heartache, as if someone had stabbed his heart!

"You... how could you possibly destroy my Heaven-Binding Rope?! This is a rare treasure that even... even my father praised!"

He was incoherent and struggling to accept the fact.

In an instant, a thought flashed through his mind: Shi Ji seemed to have used some kind of strange movement technique in the Dark Abyss, causing him to hallucinate and miss his attack.

Could it be that one of those strange forces at work again?
Shi Ji didn't care about the turmoil in his heart.

The instant he destroyed the Binding Rope, he moved without hesitation, closing in on Long Aoxuan once more. His right hand moved with lightning speed, his five fingers gripping Long Aoxuan's Jianjing acupoint like iron pincers, instantly sealing off most of his magical power!
"Hey, you think you can get away with anything just by relying on these external things? In front of me, you're nothing but a chicken and a dog!"

Shi Ji sneered, a ruthless glint flashing in her eyes.

He actually opened his mouth, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and bit down hard on Long Aoxuan's restrained shoulder!

This wasn't for the purpose of sucking blood, but purely to inflict extreme pain and humiliation! (End of Chapter)
