Chapter 3: Life and Death

  In the courtyard, Ji Yichuan was holding a green long sword, chopping and stabbing at a wooden stake. He was demonstrating the basic sword moves, chop, stab, sweep, slash, sweep, and point, one by one, without using much force. The wooden stake only had some superficial scars on its surface.

  His wife Wei Chi Xue Zheng was holding a clay pot beside him, sometimes smiling at her husband practicing sword, and sometimes watering the flowers and plants in the basin.

  "Huh?" Ji Yichuan and Wei Chixue turned their heads in the same direction at the same time, both of them sensing a ripple in the air.

  "Its towards Longbao."

  Ji Yichuan and Wei Chixiong, the couple, simultaneously jumped onto the rooftop with a whooshing sound, gazing afar in the direction of Longbao.

  Longbao was built in a remote area of the inner city, about two miles away from where Ji Yichuan and his wife lived.

  All I see is...

  A gigantic winged serpent is hovering above Longbao, its scaly bone wings spread out as if covering the entire city. Meanwhile, a blood-stained armless youth is fleeing on top of Longbao, while a massive snake tail is striking down at him with lightning speed.

  Wei Chi Xues eyes suddenly turned red, and she let out a mournful and painful cry: "Ning Er!"

  Its too far away.

  Its absolutely impossible!

  "Abomination!" Ji Yichuans eyes were about to split open, his hand grasping the long sword that shone with a pale blue light. Whoosh! A flash of blue light shot out, over a hundred meters long, even slightly larger than the Winged Snake. It sliced through the air, heading straight for the Winged Snake.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

  The tail of the distant winged snake was drawn back and struck dozens of times in an instant, causing the entire Dragon Fort to explode and collapse. A large number of stones flew everywhere, and the blood of many servants, guards, and Ji clan members who lived inside and around the fort splattered everywhere. Many people were killed or injured at the same time. Even some beasts in their dens were affected and died miserably.

  ……

  Ji Ning had just escaped from his predicament when he was struck by a massive snake tail.

  Ji Ning understood that Jin Chenyi was as fragile as paper in front of this winged serpent creature, and he himself only had a postnatal divine body cultivated to the extreme limit... probably would be instantly beaten into pulp.

  "No."

  Ji Nings heart was filled with a strong sense of discontent. This life, he had a healthy body, loving parents, and the opportunity to control his own destiny by embarking on the path of cultivation... Everything was only just beginning, and he truly couldnt bear the thought of it ending!

  "Get out of the way!" Ji Ning exerted all his strength to perform the Wind Shadow Step.

  Faster, faster, a little bit faster!

  "Ah!"

  "Ah!"

  The wind is howling!

  Ji Nings figure was also whizzing by!

  "Bang!" The snake tail struck fiercely, brushing past Ji Ning and slamming into the thick rock of Long Castle. Instantly, the entire castle shook violently, a large amount of rocks collapsed, and a cloud of fragmented stone dust flew everywhere.

  "Escaped?" The crimson-eyed winged snake growled low, "You managed to dodge once, can you dodge a second time?"

  Boom!

  The snake tail struck again!

  Ke Jingning was like a sheet of paper, drifting with the wind, fluttering and floating, as if following his shadow. The snake tail missed Ke again and struck Longbao once more.

  "Its impossible." The winged serpent was enraged.

  It is a thousand-year-old cultivation that has reached the later stage of Xiantian, far surpassing ordinary Xiantian in the early stage. With such strength, killing a human youth would be too easy, just like how it effortlessly slaughtered thousands of people from the Golden Blade Department before.

  BOOM BOOM BOOM!!! The winged snake was frantically thrashing its tail, and its wings were also flapping wildly. The entire Dragon Fort was shaking and collapsing, with large rocks flying everywhere, and many servants and Black Armor Guards were caught in the blast and killed...

  "Die, die, die." The winged snake was furious.

  A mad blast of cold air swept through, temperatures plummeted, and some servants froze to death instantly.

  Black toxic gas spread out, and one by one, the surrounding postnatal spirits were poisoned to death.

  Ke Jining was still dodging in a cloud of smoke and dust.

  The cold air can freeze to death the post-heavenly cultivators who have achieved circular perfection in their Qi refinement, but Ji Ning, who is cultivating the first divine law of the demonic path, has a body that is hundreds of times stronger than those who have achieved circular perfection in their Qi refinement. These large-scale attacks of cold air and toxic air are fundamentally unable to harm him.

  "Like wind, like shadow."

  "Wind Shadow Step."

  "This is the Wind Shadow Step, the true Wind Shadow Step." Ji Ning was completely immersed in it, withstanding the massive snake tails repeated whipping, and the scale armor wings slashing. He could drift and dodge again and again, following the power of the wind between heaven and earth, borrowing the power of the wind, and borrowing the power of his opponent Wing Snake.

  Like a shadow following a form, the winged snake cannot be beaten no matter how it is struck.

  Like a gentle breeze on her face, Ji Nings figure dodged and weaved with a soft and carefree air, as if she were a leaf rustling in the faint wind.

  "Heaven and man in one!"

  "This young man has actually reached the realm of unity with heaven and earth, his footwork reaching unity with heaven and earth?" The ferocious Winged Snake Old Demon finally confirmed that this human youth who had killed its child had actually reached the realm of unity with heaven and earth, a realm that even it, an old demon who had cultivated for thousands of years, had never attained.

  Unity of Heaven and Man!

  Most Zifu Disciples are in a state of unity with heaven and man, some powerful pre-heavenly born spirits also have the same state.

  Human wisdom is naturally higher than that of monsters!

  Except for some divine beasts, they can be compared with human wisdom.

  "Damn it." The Winged Snake Old Monster understood that for a short period of time, it was impossible for it to kill this human youth.

  "Damn it!"

  A huge blue sword light came over.

  The winged snake elder demon swept its tail towards the cyan sword light, and said disdainfully: "You think a single sword light from two miles away can harm me?"

  Pfft!

  Dark green blood splattered everywhere, and the sound of blood dripping onto the ground was like a hissing noise. The rocks and black iron were rapidly corroded. Only to see that the thick tail was chopped off more than half, almost cutting off the entire tail.

  "How can it be so strong?" The Winged Snake Old Monster was frightened.

  This is the first person of the Jis Western Mansion, isnt it too scary?

  "Ah!"

  "Let you live for now!" The Winged Snake Old Monster glanced at Ji Ning with a reluctant gaze, then shook its wings and flew away, breaking through the air.

  "Damn it!"

  "Winged Snake, you dare to intrude into the Western Mansion of the Ji Clan and still think you can escape?"

  "Accept death."

  The entire Ji Clans Western Manor inner city, in all directions, rang out with angry shouts, including Ji Lie and Ji Yyang among dozens of First Heaven Stage cultivators, each one letting out a roar.

  "Lend me the Azure Flame Bird for a moment." Ji Yichuan transformed into a flowing light and flew towards a large azure bird with flames on its tail, which had a black-robed woman on it.

  "Lets go together," the woman in black said hoarsely.

  "Go."

  Ji Yichuan glanced down and saw his son in the ruins of Longbao, he couldnt help but let out a sigh of relief, but seeing that his son had only one arm left and was covered in blood made him even more furious.

  "Ah!"

  Ji Yichuan and the black-robed woman rode on the Qingyan bird, breaking through the air to chase after the escaped Winged Snake Old Monster. As for the other pre-heavenly born spirits in the Ji familys Western Manor, they were all furious and bellowing with rage, a great demon had actually dared to run into their inner city, this was simply touching their reverse scales!

  Its just that humans are born with spiritual energy but cant fly yet, so Ji Chang and Yu Er rode the Green Flame Bird to chase and kill the Winged Snake Old Monster.

  ……

  Ji Ning remained immersed in the sensation of being one with nature, he could feel the power of the wind, and he could use the power of the wind to make himself as free and easy as the wind. He could even use the power of his enemies attacks to dodge them repeatedly, like a shadow of his enemies.

  "Ah."

  "Ah!"

  Some faint moans made Ji Ning look around, the entire Dragon City had turned into a ruin, with many servants and Black Armor Guards dying miserably, smashed to death, frozen to death, poisoned to death, each one was unbearable to see.

  The joy of reaching the state of oneness with nature in "Winds Shadow Step" has also faded away.

  Ji Ning gritted his teeth and leapt into the ruins, kicking away a large stone. He quickly found his severed left arm, which was still clutching the Northmystic Sword. Ji Ning then grabbed his severed left arm with his right hand and reattached it to his shoulder stump. At this moment, the bleeding from the wound on his shoulder had already stopped.

  "Its connected." Ji Ning reconnected his severed arm and then Jin Chenyi stretched out, quickly covering his left arm and securing it in place.

  Even in a past life, severed fingers or arms could be reattached after a short time.

  Ji Nings body was like a divine demon, his severed arm could regrow in just a few hours. Not to mention now that he pressed the severed arm back on... Ji Ning could clearly feel the flesh and blood rapidly growing, the bones also rapidly growing and connecting. At this moment, it had already connected, but to reach perfection, it would still need a little while.

  "Ji Ning!" A slightly anxious voice rang out.

  Ji Ning looked up and saw an old man with dark red fur standing on the ruins, who was indeed Ji Yu Yang, the master of the mansion. Seeing that Ji Ning was unharmed, Ji Yu Yang let out a sigh of relief: "Its good that nothing happened, its good that nothing happened."

  "Ning Er!" A pained cry rang out.

  Ji Ning didnt have time to talk to the master of the house, and with a single leap, he jumped out of the ruins. In the distance, he saw his mother rushing towards him, her face covered in tears, looking extremely painful.

  "Mother." Ji Ning shouted repeatedly.

  Wei Chi Xue saw her son standing there, and she was overjoyed to the point of tears. Ji Ning rushed to his mothers side and hugged her tightly. Wei Chi Xue also hugged her son: "Its great, its great. I was so scared just now. If something happened to you, Mother really didnt know what to do."

  "Mother, Im fine." Ji Ning said repeatedly.

  "Your arm?" Wei Chi Xue carefully examined her sons left arm.

  "Its okay, look." Ji Ning was still moving his left arm, the skin and skeleton of his left arm had already been fully connected, even in the most subtle places, it had improved by about 80%, and he estimated that after waiting for a little while longer, it would be almost completely healed.

  Wei Chi Xue finally let out a sigh of relief, she knew that her sons Shenmo body had the power to recover.

  "Whats going on? The big demon from Winged Snake Lake, how dare it come to our Ji familys Western Manor and kill?" A loud, resonant voice came, and a red-haired old snake, Ji Lie, strode in with large steps, his face full of anger. "This beast is simply looking for death. Also, hurry up and investigate. How did it manage to get into our Ji familys Western Manor?"

  "Its strange that the great demon of Winged Snake Lake doesnt know that doing so would completely infuriate me, Ji Shi Xi Fu!" a thin old man with a lump on his forehead said coldly.

  One by one, the innate spirits came over.

  Seeing the ruins of Longbao and the numerous corpses and bloodstains, these dozens of innate spirits also looked pale. As the ruler of this land, how long has it been since a powerful demon dared to kill at the Western Mansion of the Ji family? Every strong person in the Western Mansion of the Ji family felt anger and humiliation.

  "Damn it!"

  "We must kill the Winged Snake Great Demon."

  "Kill it."
