Shen Yuan Ring

Just as the chilling and terrifying attack surged in like a tidal wave, Ji Daoyi's originally calm face instantly turned serious.

He slowly raised his hands slightly, the movement seemingly gentle, yet containing boundless power.

In an instant, Ji Daozhou's body flashed with light, and solid sword imprints, as if they were real, appeared out of thin air.

These knife marks were densely packed around him, numbering as many as a hundred!

Each blade imprint exuded a sharp aura, as if it possessed the power to tear through the void.

In the past, faced with such a powerful offensive, Ji Daoyi would have unhesitatingly unleashed his most prized skill, "Invincible," to build an unbreakable defensive line and intercept the whistling attack.

However, he had other plans in mind today.

In Ji Dao's view, the best defense is to take the initiative.

Instead of adopting a purely defensive stance, it's better to go all out and fight back with offense.

Therefore, he decided to abandon his usual defensive methods and instead use the most powerful move in the Wuji Blade Technique to directly confront Liu Wan'er's incredibly powerful Phoenix Feather Nine Heavens.

This move not only embodies Ji Daoyi's absolute confidence in his own strength, but also reflects his determination to fight a desperate battle with his back to the wall.

At this moment, the entire space seemed to freeze because of the epic duel between the two!

A colossal lightsaber, gleaming with dazzling light, streaked across the sky like a meteor, hurtling towards them with overwhelming force. A lifelike, crystal-clear ice phoenix spread its wings and soared high, dancing gracefully around the lightsaber.

On the other side, a similarly huge but plain and unremarkable broadsword stood in the air like a mountain.

Although this broadsword has no fancy appearance, its heavy blade and sharp edge reveal a chilling power.

In that instant, the lightsaber rushed toward the greatsword like lightning, and the two collided with a deafening roar!

In an instant, the world changed color, and the winds and clouds surged.

The powerful energy released by the lightsaber intertwined with the cold air of the ice phoenix, forming a dazzling and colorful light curtain; while the greatsword met the attack head-on without flinching, emitting a deafening roar.

Sparks flew everywhere, and energy overflowed, distorting and deforming the surrounding air with this terrifying force.

Counting breaths

The violent collision exploded again, and the resulting shockwave instantly sent Ji Daoyi and Liu Wan'er, who were closest to the collision, flying. Even the already seriously injured He Shaojie was not spared.

After the shockwave from the explosion dissipated, the arena was intact, with only three people lying quietly in different corners.

"Hey, I asked you to fight, not to risk your lives!"

"Fortunately, they were just unconscious. Otherwise, if that kid Yun Tian came out of seclusion and found out that I had killed all his disciples, he would definitely come after his master and fight me to the death."

Three days later, Ji Daoyi finally slowly woke up from his long sleep.

Before he even opened his eyes, he felt something soft and gentle rubbing against his cheek. It felt like a feather brushing against him, damp and slightly itchy.

"It's you, Crescent Moon!"

Although he hadn't opened his eyes yet, Ji Daoyi immediately guessed who it was based on the familiar touch and scent.

"Of course it's me! Humph, I thought you'd just keep sleeping like this forever! These past few days, I haven't dared to leave this place for a single moment, staying by your side every second!" Crescent Moon said coquettishly.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and a graceful figure walked in. The young woman had a slender and graceful figure, with a waist as thin and delicate as a willow branch swaying in the wind.

When she saw that Ji Daoyi had sat up, she was overjoyed and quickly walked to the bedside, excitedly exclaiming, "Daoyi, you've finally woken up! We were so worried!"

"I didn't expect you to sleep for three days. Crescent Moon, seeing that you hadn't woken up, wouldn't leave even for a moment no matter how much we tried to persuade it. And in these three whole days, it didn't even drink a drop of water."

As Cheng Ke'er spoke, she tenderly stroked Crescent Moon, who was lying by the bedside.

At this moment, Crescent Moon was looking up at Ji Daoyi, her round eyes revealing a hint of expectation, as if silently saying, "Daoyi, listen to this, even Sister Ke'er is praising me. With such a loyal partner like me by your side, you must reward me with something good."

Looking at Crescent Moon's expression, Ji Daoyi smiled knowingly and said, "My good friend, I'll give you something good as a reward later!"

"Right, how did I get here? I remember I was fighting with Liu Wan'er."

"That's because you guys were too radical. You all passed out in that explosion, and then your grandmaster sent you back and asked me to take care of you!"

"How are Liu Wan'er and He Shaojie doing?"

"They're all fine now. I heard from the elders that they both turned misfortune into blessing and have already broken through to the Divine Realm in seclusion! The next time I see them, they'll be experts at the Divine Realm. I'm so envious."

"Did Grandmaster Uncle say who won?"

"No! He just said that after you wake up, you should go and find him."

"Alright! Looks like I've lost my magical artifact!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Daoyi knew that he had gained nothing from the competition and had even been injured and unconscious for three days!

That's a huge loss!

(I just wonder if my grandmaster uncle will give me some compensation, even just the Marrow Cleansing Pill I refined would be great!)

Cheng Ke'er looked at Ji Daoyi, who was lost in thought, and nudged him, asking, "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh... I wasn't thinking about anything! By the way, where did my grandmaster tell me to find him?"

"I knew you'd ask that! Get up, I'll take you there."

"That couldn't be better."

Ji Daoyi was not actually injured; he was just stunned by the force of the explosion!

quickly,

Led by Cheng Ke'er, Ji Daoyi quickly arrived at Dan Daozi's residence!

Dan Daozi was already waiting in the reception room, as if he already knew they were coming!

"Greetings to the Grandmaster Uncle!"

"I've met the elder!"

Dan Daozi smiled kindly at the two of them and said, "Alright, you don't need to be so polite! Make yourselves at home, I'm not a rigid old man!"

"Dao Yi, do you know why I had Ke'er bring you here?"

"I don't know! Please enlighten me, Grandmaster Uncle!" Ji Daoyi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I called you here mainly to ask if you would be willing to become my disciple. Although you are a bit old and your cultivation is a bit lacking, your talent in both alchemy and combat is top-notch."
