Chapter 26: The Madman
“However, this battle is extremely perilous. Although you’ve reached the Qi Refinement Great Perfection, you’ve never participated in such a fight, so don’t act impulsively!”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister. I understand!”
Ji Suying nodded back.
Then, they saw Ji Suying leap into the air.
She hovered at the front of the flying boat.
Qingteng Elder’s face changed.
“Su Ying, what are you planning to do?”
Ji Suying chuckled.
“Qinglian Sect disciples, hear my order—let’s slaughter these evil cultivators!”
“Yes!”
As soon as Ji Suying’s voice fell, those Foundation Establishment disciples once more soared on their swords, heading straight for Kangzhuang City.
As for the Outer Disciples, they hesitated one by one.
At this moment, Qingteng raised his hand to stop them.
He looked at Ji Suying with some anger.
“Right now, Shi Changxin hasn’t been located, and we don’t know the situation in Kangzhuang City. Charging in recklessly is no different from throwing ourselves into the fray with our comrades!”
Ji Suying glanced at Qingteng Elder and snorted coldly.
“If anything goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility. As for whether this is reckless or not, we’ll talk after we’ve cleaned up Kangzhuang City!”
At the same time, Ji Suying looked at Qingteng with a mischievous glint.
“Or do you think that with the two of us at the Golden Core Great Perfection, that Shi Changxin—a mere mid-stage Golden Core waste—can stir up any waves in front of us?”
Ji Suying locked eyes with Qingteng Elder.
He felt a bit uneasy under her gaze.
But he quickly forced a grin.
“Of course not, but have you thought about the innocent cultivators inside Kangzhuang City? If we wrongly direct our anger at Shi Changxin, what will happen if he randomly kills innocents?”
The corner of Ji Suying’s mouth lifted slightly.
“Shi Changxin uses people to refine Blood Pills. Once we approach with the flying boat, do you really think he’ll let those cultivators live to ensure his own safety?”
Qingteng Elder was left speechless.
He opened his mouth to say something.
But he found he couldn’t say anything at all.
At the same time, he cursed inwardly.
‘Damn it, where did things go wrong?’
They were so close to success.
Ignoring Qingteng, Ji Suying declared, “Kill! Leave not one alive!”
With Ji Suying’s command, all the Foundation Establishment disciples roared in anger and charged toward Kangzhuang City.
Meanwhile, the Blood Puppet Master in Kangzhuang City was utterly bewildered.
“This isn’t what we agreed on!”
The Blood Puppet Master was now sweating profusely.
He quickly took out a small black flag.
After channeling his spiritual energy, the flag swelled up.
Then he waved it again.
“Roar!”
A series of furious roars echoed from within Kangzhuang City.
Then more than thirty stitched Blood Puppets rushed out from the city.
“Not good, these are Third Stage Blood Puppets; form up!”
A Foundation Establishment disciple’s face changed drastically.
They quickly regrouped their flying swords in a circle.
But this time, the nine flying swords didn’t exhibit the same overwhelming power as before.
Instead, they found themselves in a stalemate with the thirty-plus Blood Puppets.
One flying sword was even smashed apart by three Blood Puppets.
Nine Foundation Establishment disciples spat blood and fell from the sky.
Seeing this, the short man laughed maniacally.
“Hahaha, foolish Qinglian Sect people, did you really think I had no backup!”
Even as he watched his Blood Puppets slaughter the Qinglian Sect disciples, a look of ecstasy crossed his face.
But suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Without thinking, the short man swung the black flag behind him.
“Bang!”
The black flag collided with Liu Shunyi’s long sword.
The short man felt his hands go numb.
His body involuntarily flew backward.
But that wasn’t the end.
A flash of lightning flickered in the short man’s eyes.
In an instant, the lightning appeared right in front of him.
The short man was horrified.
Because it was a wooden sword crackling with lightning.
“Damn!”
The short man roared in anger.
He quickly raised a shield to defend himself.
“Crack!”
The shield shattered instantly.
The sword struck the short man’s chest.
But it didn’t pierce through.
Instead, it bounced off.
The fabric of the short man’s clothes was torn apart, revealing soft armor underneath.
Thinking he had narrowly escaped, the short man was soon hit with a terrifying sword light descending from above.
This sword light condensed like thunder and carried intense heat.
“This sword light can’t be taken head-on!”
The short man mentally assessed.
Then he waved the black flag again.
A thick smoke belched forth from it.
And suddenly, a dazed-looking woman stepped out from the flag.
She directly took the brunt of the sword light with her body.
“Thud!”
The woman was cut in half instantly.
But the sword light was ultimately blocked.
Before the short man could breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Shunyi appeared before him again.
He swung his long sword straight at the short man’s neck.
“You’re asking for death!”
The short man fumed.
He immediately unleashed his Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation.
A frenzied wave of spiritual energy erupted outward.
Liu Shunyi hurriedly turned to defend.
But the difference between Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment was just too colossal.

He was swept away by the terrifying shockwave and crashed directly into Kangzhuang City.
The short man was furious now.
“I can’t believe I’m being forced into this situation by a Qi Refinement ant!”
Right now, the short man didn’t want to kill Liu Shunyi anymore.
He wanted to turn Liu Shunyi into a mindful puppet.
He wanted this sneak attacker to suffer worse than death.
But the next scene left the short man in shock.
Because Liu Shunyi soared back into the air on his sword.
Aside from his tattered clothes, he was completely unscathed.
“How is this possible?!”
The short man was finding it hard to believe.
No matter how talented one was, Qi Refinement was still just Qi Refinement.
How could he withstand the impact of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?
Even if he could endure it, he should at least be heavily injured.
But here he was, completely unharmed.
“This guy has a big secret, a huge opportunity!”
The short man felt excitement in his heart.
His eyes turned a bit greedy.
“Kid, today you’ll see the difference between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement!”
With that, the short man unleashed all his power.
A horrifying pressure bore down on Liu Shunyi.
Liu Shunyi stood tall, expressionless.
But a crackle echoed throughout his bones.
Seeing this, the short man felt a twinge of fear.
“Doesn’t it hurt him? And despite this, he doesn’t even kneel! This crazy dude!”
But the short man quickly snapped back to reality.
“Hehe, you have guts, but now you’re immobilized!”
The short man had put together that while Liu Shunyi was tough, under his pressure, he had no means of escape.
With that thought in mind, the short man drew out a short sword and launched it at Liu Shunyi.
Liu Shunyi felt somewhat helpless.
“Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment are completely different worlds!”
With a sigh, a flow of faint red energy gradually welled up around Liu Shunyi.
