Chapter 788 788: Rout
Ji Qinghuo's half body was almost wasted by the impact from the True Martial Holy Hall, leaving him gravely injured, teetering on the edge of life and death, with no power left to hold at the ninth level of the Returning One Realm.
At this moment, Master Tianxuan wielded the True Martial Saint Sword, descending like a deity into the world, his presence unmatched.
Ji Qinghuo understood that Master Tianxuan was now unbeatable, and if he continued to entangle with him, he would surely die here.
Thus, he gritted his teeth through the pain and turned to leave without hesitation, not even having time to utter a harsh word.
Seeing this, Master Tianxuan immediately chased after him, but despite Ji Qinghuo's severe injuries, his realm was still intact.
At the same realm level, even though there was a vast disparity in combat strength, it was by no means easy to stop him.
Just as Ji Qinghuo was about to escape, suddenly, from the depths of the earth came a very weak voice: "Ancestor, save me!"
The voice belonged to Ji Shenfa. Earlier, he was struck hard by Chu Nan with the Dragon Slaughter Tower, almost losing consciousness.
If Ji Qinghuo hadn't disregarded his own safety and attacked Chu Nan with all his might, Ji Shenfa would have probably perished, and his Dragon Qi would have been completely devoured.
Now, with his consciousness restored, Ji Shenfa, seeing Ji Qinghuo about to flee, urgently pleaded.
Ji Qinghuo frowned slightly; with his current severe injuries, escaping with Ji Shenfa would undoubtedly significantly increase the difficulty.
Ji Shenfa knew that if neither he nor Master Tianxuan acted quickly, they would both be caught by him.
Ji Shenfa was extremely anxious inside, but he still tried to keep calm, striving to find a solution.
Just then, Ji Shenfa suddenly recalled something. His eyes lit up as he quickly said to Ji Qinghuo, "Ancestor, our Ji family controls the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, the embodiment of power and fortune in the Celestial Crossing Realm!"
Ji Qinghuo listened to these words, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Ji Shenfa hurriedly explained, "Ancestor, I am the current controller of the source of Earth Vein Dragon Qi, bearing immense fortune."
"This means that no matter the danger, the fortune of the Earth Vein Dragon Qi will protect me. As long as you take me away from here, the invisible fortune will also help you escape safely!"
Listening to this, Ji Qinghuo's heart was stirred. He looked at Ji Shenfa, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
Ji Shenfa, seeing Ji Qinghuo somewhat swayed, continued, "Ancestor, we cannot hesitate any longer."
"If we don't act quickly and get caught by that guy, the consequences will be unimaginable. Please trust me; the fortune of the Earth Vein Dragon Qi will surely ensure our safety."
After a moment of silence, Ji Qinghuo finally nodded, agreeing to Ji Shenfa's suggestion.
The Ji family's control of the Earth Vein Dragon Qi came after the split of the two realms and after the Ji family's strong had all fallen into slumber, so his understanding of the Dragon Qi's mysteries was limited.
In truth, few in the lower realm understood the marvels of Dragon Qi.
But Ji Qinghuo knew one thing: the Ji family's greatest reliance to control the Celestial Crossing Realm was the Dragon Qi, so he chose to trust Ji Shenfa.
He took a deep breath and fled far along with Ji Shenfa using his remaining arm.
"Stop!" Chu Nan maneuvered the Dragon Slaughter Tower, smashing toward the two, accompanied by a thunderous boom. Ji Shenfa spat blood, his aura growing weaker.
At this moment, Master Tianxuan also laughed, saying, "You two have already stepped into a dead end; no one can save you now!"
By now, Ji Qinghuo had carried Ji Shenfa some distance away. They looked back to find Chu Nan and Master Tianxuan in hot pursuit.
Ji Qinghuo said, "Didn't you say there's Dragon Qi protection? What now?"
Ji Shenfa watched Chu Nan and Master Tianxuan, a glimmer of despair flashing in his eyes.
In truth, it was just his speculation; fortune is intangible and not something man can control.
At this moment, Master Tianxuan laughed as well, "You two have already stepped into a dead end; no one can save you now!"
He spoke while controlling the True Martial Holy Hall to smash toward Ji Qinghuo.
Chu Nan also aimed the Dragon Slaughter Tower and the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall at Ji Shenfa. At this moment, should these three heavenly weapons fall, the two from the Ji family would definitely perish.
Just as everything was about to succeed, suddenly a thunderous noise resounded throughout the world, accompanied by a surge of wild wind, soon followed by the sound of massive waves.
Chu Nan turned his head inside the Dragon Slaughter Tower, almost scared out of his wits.
Above the Endless Sea of Suffering, fierce winds suddenly whipped up, the already turbulent sea currents becoming overwhelmingly ferocious, astonishingly raising dozens of sky-covering, thousand-foot-high waves, spanning a full three thousand miles!
The giant waves blotted out the sun, casting the entire world into darkness as if the apocalypse had arrived.
The seawater erupted like fierce dragons, separating Chu Nan and the two from the Ji family.
Seeing that the two were about to be slain under his sword, Chu Nan could only watch them escape due to the sudden massive waves from the Endless Sea of Suffering.
"The Endless Sea of Suffering is in upheaval!"
"Run quickly, if the seawater touches us, we are done for."
"Damn it, damn it!"
…
Chu Nan looked at the scene before him with a grim expression, a trace of unwillingness flickering in his eyes.
However, facing such terrifying scenes, he could only choose to avoid them for now.
After all, the Endless Sea of Suffering held endless dangers and horror; entering hastily would risk life.
At present, Chu Nan could not continue pursuing the two from the Ji family, but instead fled frantically with Master Tianxuan.
They flew, picking up the already incapacitated Lu Daochang along the way.
Although he loathed this guy to the core, given the urgent situation, they had no other choice.
Glaring at Ji Shenfa, Jqi Qinghuo wore a strange expression; no one expected the Endless Sea of Suffering to go on a rampage then.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ji Qinghuo put all his effort into fleeing, not daring to slack off, disappearing in an instant.
"Damn it, how could this happen?" Seeing Ji Qinghuo and Ji Shenfa escape, Chu Nan couldn't help cursing.
After finally finding the two from the Ji family, because of the upheaval of the Endless Sea of Suffering, they escaped.
"Don't chase rabid dogs; we'll have their heads sooner or later." Master Tianxuan paid little mind to Ji Qinghuo's escape but was extremely wary of the waves from the Endless Sea of Suffering.
He knew well the horrors of the Endless Sea of Suffering; if he couldn't escape in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thus, the group frantically fled forward, hoping to soon rid themselves of the threat of the Endless Sea of Suffering.
Meanwhile, they needed to stay alert to their surroundings to avoid falling into danger again.
Perhaps by coincidence, after Ji Qinghuo and Ji Shenfa had completely escaped, with no chance of being caught, the Endless Sea of Suffering began to calm down.
