As the dust gradually cleared, he discovered that at the densest center of the dust, there seemed to be a figure with disheveled hair slowly standing up...

"This... how is this possible?!"

After standing up, Ji Yuan looked down at himself, covered in blood, with hardly a piece of intact flesh, but fortunately, it was all superficial wounds...

The physique of Foundation Establishment, not so effective at attacking, but damn good at taking hits!

Two Water Bombs, plus a Tier Two Talisman.

They were all withstood by this Foundation Establishment physique.

But the Protective Magical Artifacts on him were basically destroyed...

If someone destroys, someone must compensate.

Ji Yuan casually tore off the last dangling piece of Magic Robe fragments, revealing a blood-stained body full of muscles. At this time, his entire being was surging with blood and qi, and a violent aura emanated from him.

He raised his head slightly to look at the incredulous figure in the air, his legs exerted force, and his body suddenly leaped up.

In an instant, he was in front of Jian Zong.

He grabbed Jian Zong's Flying Boat with one hand and violently swung it towards the ground.

An overwhelming force came, even though Jian Zong fully activated the Flying Boat, it couldn't withstand this immense power.

Ji Yuan's swing deeply embedded the Flying Boat into the ground, and as he landed again, he happened to step on an escaping light.

The escaping light was stamped into a human shape by his foot, and he happened to step right on its forehead.

At this moment, Jian Zong's mind was filled with panic. If this were a Foundation Establishment, it would be easy, but it was just a Cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, not even at the Peak of Qi Refining...

"Who... who are you?"

Ji Yuan ignored him, just slightly bowed his head, expressionless, and asked a question.

"Have you... ever been beaten by a Body Cultivator?!"

"Body... Body Cultivator?"

Jian Zong seemed to understand something.

But Ji Yuan had already raised his right fist high and slammed down fiercely.

"Crack—"

Red and white scattered all over the ground.

An hour later.

A scarlet Flying Boat descended from the clouds, and Feng Yichen's figure emerged from it. He looked at the mountains after the great battle and immediately walked to the edge of the deep pit.

His Divine Sense scanned the ground back and forth, finally finding a finger-sized fragment of a broken Magic Robe under the dirt.

"Water Dragon Sect... Was it Ji Yuan or Dong Qian?"

He immediately stepped to another location.

If Ji Yuan were still here, he would surely recognize that this was the place where he killed Jian Zong with a punch.

At this moment, Feng Yichen stood where Ji Yuan had stood, picked up some soil with his head slightly lowered, and a wisp of Spiritual Qi flashed by.

Feng Yichen's face turned pale at the sight.

"Jian Zong... is dead?!"

He suddenly raised his head, then looked incredulously at the unnamed mountains, certain yet somewhat disbelieving.

Who could have thought that the famous Jian Zong of Shang Dong would die under these nameless barren mountains, not even knowing who killed him... Feng Yichen subconsciously excluded both Ji Yuan and Dong Qian.

He didn't believe either of them had the strength.

But the Magic Robe fragments he had just unearthed clearly indicated that disciples of the Water Dragon Sect had engaged in battle here.

Fine, go back and ask Dong Qian. They should know.

Immediately, Feng Yichen once again boarded the Flying Boat. Looking at the battlefield, he threw down two Talismans.

One Talisman overturned the hillside like it had been plowed, while the other set everything ablaze, burning indefinitely.

No matter who that person was, as long as they were a disciple of the Water Dragon Sect, Feng Yichen was willing to cover up for them a bit.

Seeing the valley now devoid of any trace, Feng Yichen finally activated the Flying Boat and headed straight for the Water Dragon Sect.

"..."

By the time Dong Qian returned to Chulong Island, it was already the evening of the fifth day.

All the way, she had kept Ji Yuan's warnings in mind, daring not to stop for a second, rushing at full speed throughout.

Only after entering the range of the Water Dragon Sect did she feel slightly relieved, but only slightly, because Ji Yuan hadn't returned... Junior Brother Ji was still back there!

After returning to her residence on Chulong Island, she was even more restless and anxious.

She wanted to find someone, but didn't know whom to look for.

She also wanted to go back and check, but feared running into Jian Zong again, feared Ji Yuan would return and not find her, feared... seeing Ji Yuan's corpse.

"Impossible, Junior Brother Ji is even more cautious than I am. If he stayed back, he must have some life-saving means."

This thought had just arisen, but was quickly overshadowed by another thought.

"But that's Jian Zong, ordinary life-saving tricks are surely useless against him."

Dong Qian anxiously paced back and forth in the courtyard.

After waiting for about half an hour, suddenly someone knocked on her courtyard door.

"Knock knock knock—"

She swiftly moved behind the door and pulled it open with a swoosh.

Overjoyed, she looked outside, only to see it wasn't Ji Yuan.

The visitor was Han Feiyu.

"Junior Sister Dong, you're finally back. Where have you been these past few days?" Han Feiyu still had that cheerful demeanor as usual.

"I... I took a mission and went out for a bit. What's the matter, Brother Han, do you need something?"

Dong Qian's expression became calm.

But Han Feiyu still noticed her panic, and her travel-worn appearance.

"It's nothing. You've just returned, so let's talk in a couple of days. You should rest for now."

"Alright, I just got back indeed."

Dong Qian said, blocking the doorway, with no intention of letting Han Feiyu inside.

She worried that if Ji Yuan came back, it would expose Junior Brother Ji's secret.

She also thought of asking Han Feiyu to take a look... Though Han Feiyu was strong, he was still no match for Jian Zong.
