Chapter 346: The Old Man is Getting Older

What is this?

After all, they were three high-level cultivators in the late Void Refinement stage. Even a casual attack from them could make cultivators at the same level cautious, let alone those at a lower level.

If Ji Yang countered with sword energy, they might have felt a bit better.

After all, that sword energy was quite powerful, and they recognized it.

But now Ji Yang relied solely on his physical body to withstand all three of their attacks, which forced them to start questioning their own strength.

Who exactly is the cultivator at the late Void Refinement stage?

“Gentlemen, do not hold back any longer! If this kid is not dealt with, he will surely become a future threat!”

Elder Guan took a deep breath and spoke to the other two elders.

After everything that had happened, the two elders fully agreed and nodded in unison.

As elders of the Heaven Demon Sect and high-level cultivators, who among them didn’t have some powerful skills up their sleeves?

However, earlier they had thought that Ji Yang was not worth such a significant cost.

But with the situation not improving, if they continued to hesitate, they might truly let Ji Yang escape!

This was something they absolutely could not tolerate.

Without further hesitation, they all unleashed their best skills!

At this moment, Ji Yang, who was still running ahead, sensed a wave of danger again!

During the battle, Ji Yang had released his primordial spirit energy, and he clearly heard the words exchanged among the three.

All three elders were in the late Void Refinement stage, and previously, Elder Guan had shown a secret technique that allowed him to temporarily break through to the Unity with the Dao stage. Who knew if the other two elders had anything similar?

Being in the late Void Refinement stage was one thing; Ji Yang believed he could handle it, especially since the three were in poor condition.

But if they were cultivators in the Unity with the Dao stage, that would be troublesome.

Although it was only a small difference in rank, the divide was a significant one.

Cultivators in the Unity with the Dao stage were true high-level cultivators, some even mastering the "Dao."

Even though it was a temporary breakthrough through secret methods, it was far from something Ji Yang could manage right now.

This made Ji Yang, who had originally wanted to save his most powerful sword strike, stop hesitating!

A trump card should certainly be used in a desperate situation!

At worst, after this, he wouldn’t return to the sect for a while! He could just take a few more years to recover!

In the moment of thought, Ji Yang twisted the fishing rod in his hand back into a hoe.

The next instant, Ji Yang suddenly swung it!

The last hint of sword intent, the very first one he had cultivated, burst forth!

This sword intent had been held within for a long time, reaching a level of power that even Ji Yang could not fully grasp, but now he unleashed it without reservation.

The sword energy spread out from the hoe!

At first glance, it seemed ordinary, but as the sword energy departed from the hoe, everything around turned into armed foes, and the entire world seemed enveloped by Ji Yang’s sword energy.

At that moment, the three people who were about to unleash their secret techniques sensed something amiss.

Just now, Ji Yang’s action of swinging the hoe looked clumsy and harmless to them.

But once that sword energy took shape, the three displayed expressions filled with caution.

Then, they all shouted in anger.

Elder Guan instantly broke through to the Unity with the Dao stage!

Clearly, he had used the secret technique from before!

With Elder Guan now at the Unity with the Dao stage, his aura surged, and he vanished from his spot, appearing somewhere else in the next moment.

However, even so, Elder Guan was terrified to find that he still could not escape the lock of that sword energy!

The other two elders were unwilling to show weakness!

They also brought out their respective unique skills!

Yet, despite facing Ji Yang’s sword energy, they felt an overwhelming sense of danger!

The sword energy was fierce and filled with an endless sharpness, striking towards the three.

Its might was unstoppable, capable of destroying anything in its path!

After Ji Yang unleashed this strongest sword energy, he stopped to look back and simply turned to leave, leaving behind a silhouette that grew smaller in the eyes of the three.

The three wanted to pursue, but at that moment, they were preoccupied with their own conditions!

There were no more explosive sounds, nor any angry shouts from the group.

Everything was cut off by the sword energy!

When the sword energy swept across, the already devastated ground lay in ruin, with countless holes marking the scene, a result of the residual power of the sword energy!

Amid the endless wreckage, the three figures slowly stood up!

However, their faces were pale, their clothes stained with bloodstains, and their auras had dropped to the lowest point!

They gazed far ahead, only to find Ji Yang’s figure had long since vanished.

This time, they did not chase after him, merely sighing!

Given their current state, even if they did catch up, they might not be able to stop Ji Yang. If he struck again, they might really end up paying the price here.

Such fierce sword energy was most likely what that person left for Ji Yang.

Otherwise, how could they be injured?

They couldn’t guarantee that Ji Yang couldn’t unleash another strike!

When compared to the sect’s honor and the loss of the Peak Master’s treasure, their own lives felt more important.

But if they returned like this, they could hardly imagine how the other elders in the sect would view them.

Moreover, they had also lost Peak Master Su’s spiritual treasure!

Thinking of this, the three showed distressed expressions.

“Well, Elder Du, you’ve been an elder for many years, and you have the most experience. What do you think we should do in this situation?”

Elder Guan asked sincerely.

Elder Yu also turned his gaze toward Elder Du in the middle!

Elder Du pondered for a moment and then smiled bitterly:

“Elder Guan, I must disagree. I am getting old and truly cannot handle such matters.”

At this moment, Elder Yu coughed lightly and said:

“Ahem, esteemed elders, this isn’t entirely our fault. It really is that Ye Wuchen is too powerful; it’s quite normal for the three of us to be no match for him, and having our spiritual treasure stolen is also reasonable!”

Elders Guan and Du quickly understood the implication in his words and exchanged glances, then nodded:

“Elder Yu is right!”

“That Ye Wuchen is indeed extremely hateful, not only taking advantage of his strength but also stealing Peak Master Su’s spiritual treasure!”

…

After a round of discussion, the three decisively checked the surrounding traces, mainly ensuring that no injured cultivators were overlooked.

After completing their checks, they finally headed back toward the Heaven Demon Sect!

“It seems they did not follow us.”

On the spiritual boat, Ji Yang withdrew the scattered primordial spirit energy, murmuring to himself.

Now, with his acceleration, he had entered the jurisdiction of the He Dao Sect, so the three elders, even if uninjured, would not dare to chase anymore.

And he finally felt safe.

Thinking of this, Ji Yang let out a long sigh of relief!

In this battle, he had truly used all he had learned throughout his life, and he had exhausted the power of lightning calamity he had just saved up, along with consuming the several sword energies he had previously stored.

As for the new sword intent, it was still not ready for significant use.
