Chapter 252: If he won, he would brag. If he lost, would he be reasonable?
Yu Rui, whose corpse energy previously overflowed, was now completely obliterated. Only a tattered black robe remained on the ground.
Ji Xingyun couldn’t recover from his shock.
Yu Rui was specially chosen by him.
Peak of Heavenly Tribulation was a very delicate realm.
Since he could steadily suppress the Golden Core and Nascent Soul, he wouldn’t attract the attention of the Sheng Clan because of his high cultivation base.
Coupled with the relationship between Yu Rui and Yu Ye, even if Yue Jianli was severely injured, the Yin Corpse Dao could be pushed to a grudge.
At worst, he could just sell Yu Rui.
As long as he could step down on the Myriad Sword Pavillion, he would be able to show his face in the upcoming Immortal Ascension Assembly.
In the end, Yu Rui had already died before the tournament even began.
More so, he died at the hands of the Devil Dao.
Ji Xingyun looked at the smiling Li Ran, and a cold breeze blew from his back.
As expected, it was just like the rumors. This devil’s natural disposition was perverse, and he couldn’t be judged by common sense at all.
“Chief Ji, are you sure you won’t seek justice for him? The one who died was your Sect Deacon.”
Ji Xingyun shook his head decisively and smiled sheepishly. “What Sheng Zi Li said was clearly Yu Rui’s initiative to attack you, and you were just defending yourself. He deserves to die!”
The cultivators on the second floor covered their faces. Even the Yin Corpse Dao Executor lowered his head in shame.
Wasn’t Chief Ji too thick-skinned?
Just now, his attitude towards Yue Jianli was different!
If he won, he would brag. If he lost, would he be reasonable?
Ji Xingyun’s expression turned ugly as he listened to the discussions around him.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. The situation was different. If he should admit defeat, he had to admit defeat.
If he could earn back his face, but he lost his life, everything would be over!
“Chief Ji really is a smart man.” Li Ran smiled.
“Sheng Zi Li is flattering me.” Ji Xingyun smiled sheepishly. “Since it was all a misunderstanding, then we won’t disturb you. I’ll take my leave first.”
As he said that, he prepared to take his men away.
At this moment, a faint voice sounded from behind him. “Did I let you go?”
Ji Xingyun’s body instantly stiffened. He slowly turned around and saw the golden flames at his fingertips pulsing with terrifying power.
“Sheng Zi Li, what do you mean?” Ji Xingyun said bitterly.
Li Ran said indifferently, “Deacon of the Yin Corpse Dao was in the wild. He forcefully refined Corpse Puppets and caused a riot in the Grand Myriad Mountains, resulting in the Beast Tide. Isn’t Chief Ji planning on giving me an explanation?”
Restaurant fell silent for a moment before it exploded!
“What?”
“That beast tide has something to do with the Yin Corpse Dao?”
“Did I hear correctly!”
“This is a common enemy of the vast land!”
“Is it fake? Yin Corpse Dao is no fool!”
……
Ji Xingyun’s scalp went numb.
Why did the other party bring up this matter?
Back then, for this matter, Sheng Ye had personally looked for Ji Chenyuan.
After all, Yu Ye and the Corpse Puppet had been annihilated. There was not enough evidence to prove that they were related to the Yin Corpse Dao.
Even so, the sect had still paid quite a price to completely settle this matter.
Apart from him and a few Elders, not even the disciples of this sect knew about this!
Why did Li Ran bring it up?
“Sheng Zi Li, you can eat randomly, but you can’t speak randomly! This matter is related to the entire sect. You have to provide evidence!” Ji Xingyun said in a low voice.
No matter what, this matter could not be acknowledged!
“Are you kidding me?” Li Ran grinned. “When did I, Li Ran, ever speak of evidence?”
Ji Xingyun asked, “Ah?”
Before he could react, the golden flames in his opponent’s hand burst into flames, instantly condensing into a large hand of raging flames, striking at him.
“Li Ran!”
Ji Xingyun was both shocked and furious.
He now understood.
This person didn’t want to say anything. He was just looking for an excuse to attack him.
He dodged in a flash and slapped his palm on the ground. The entire hall was engulfed in a sea of flames.
Ji Xingyun’s black robe fluttered as a dense corpse aura spread out, quickly condensing into a huge demon corpse.
It was shaped like an eagle, with a huge horn on its head. Its entire body was made up of gray corpse energy, and its cries were like the cries of a baby.
Demon Puppet, Chong Diao!
Howl!
Chong Diao spread its wings, its enormous wings covered the sky, and its momentum was extremely shocking!
As a result, just as it was about to pounce towards Li Ran, it was grabbed by the hand of flames.
Boundless flames burst forth, and the surging Heaven Sacred Flame spread rapidly. The corpse’s energy was like snow under the blazing sun, and it could be seen with the naked eye that it was completely burned.
“Heavenly Flame, this is the Burning Heaven Emperor’s Heavenly Flame!” Ji Xingyun took two steps back in shock. “Quick, stop him!”
Yin Corpse Dao deacons responded.
But just as they took a step forward, a dazzling light flashed before his eyes, and a huge ditch appeared on the ground.
Yue Jianli seemed to be in shock as she stood in front of them and said sternly, “Leave them all behind!”
“Yes!” Myriad Swords Pavilion’s deacons drew their swords one after another, fighting the Yin Corpse Daoists together.
Seeing this, Ji Xingyun wanted to slip away.
But just as he turned around, a tall figure stood in front of him.
Li Ran’s smile was ice-cold, and his voice was fierce. “Chief Ji, don’t be in a hurry to leave. You haven’t given me the explanation I want.”
The intense killing intent was not concealed at all!
“You can’t touch me! My uncle is Ji Chenyuan, an Emperor-level expert. He won’t let you off!”
“Uncle?” Li Ran’s expression was one of disdain.
Who was he trying to scare?
My wife is an Emperor, and there are two of them!
Without another word, Li Ran’s hand rippled with a faint light as Gu Xie landed on his palm and slashed at his opponent!
Devil Qi collided with the Corpse Qi, causing a loud explosion in the air!
Boom! Boom!
Entire restaurant was on the verge of collapse!
Righteous and Devils were hiding upstairs, shivering.
Killing someone without a word?
This was too frightening!
Drunken Wind Pavillion was located in a bustling area, and the sound of the building attracted countless gazes. A large number of cultivators gathered outside the restaurant, peering inside.
Soon, even the Imperial City guards were attracted.
“Someone is causing trouble!” A group of armored guards separated the crowd and rushed into the restaurant.
“Who dares to behave atrociously in Central City… Cough cough Li, Sheng Zi Li!”
Restaurant was a mess, and Yin Corpse Daoists had already fallen into a pool of blood.
Li Ran held the badly mangled Ji Xingyun in his hand and frowned at him. “What’s the matter?”
……
Burly man looked at the unhappy Li Ran and then at the half-dead Ji Xingyun. His scalp felt slightly numb.
How should he care?
This was a fight between immortals!
He cleared his throat and said carefully, “Sheng Zi Li, you can’t use force in the Imperial City…”
“Is that so?” Before he could finish his sentence, Li Ran picked up Gu Xie and stabbed him.
Guards were startled!
