CHAPTER 475: CHAPTER 475: YOU CAN’T BEAT THEM

The slight figure was neither tall nor robust, but delicate and frail, with a head of lustrous black hair and a pretty face. She stood amidst the howling wind, the air currents surging and swirling around her entire being.

She resembled a deity of slaughter without any killing intention, or perhaps an Empress devoid of any majesty.

It felt very strange.

Yet she was capable of slaying those of the Saint Realm.

Everyone was puzzled.

The old man caught in the calamity spat out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale as he stared fixatedly at Zi Ji. He was about to die. Damn it, can you believe it?

He was a mighty Saint Realm Third Heaven powerhouse. He had even developed Star Power in his Hetero Pupil, granting him a millennium’s gaze. Yet, he could not beat a young girl with mere fluff for hair. It was truly pitiful.

In an instant, he was flooded with rage and unwillingness, but in another, his heart stilled like calm water...

"You’re not from the Human Clan," he said with difficulty, his life force rapidly draining away.

However, Zi Ji paid him no heed. She stepped forward, crossing the boundary he had set. Her powerful aura transformed into a sharp sword that pierced the sky, targeting the young man.

SPURT!

Blood splattered as the man stared blankly, incredulously watching her.

Not to mention killing two Saint Realm individuals in succession, she did so in front of the elders from the vast Star Sea.

His mental state collapsed.

The scene was silent. No one spoke a word. The only sounds were the whistling of the clear breeze as it swept through, the rustling of dust rolling off the ground, and the turning of that slender figure.

All the air currents and the raging wind dissipated at that moment, leaving the world bright and clear.

But outside the City of Extinction, a few bodies were left behind: two from the Saint Realm and a young genius from the Star Sea.

"Let’s go!" Zi Ji said as she passed the dazed Li Qi, patting his shoulder with a smile. "You can’t make a move now; Senior Brother said to keep a low profile."

???

What does ’keep a low profile’ mean? Does she have some misunderstanding about the term ’low profile’?

Li Qi came to his senses and exhaled a breath of murky air. Looking at the nearby bodies and then at his Junior Martial Aunt, he only wanted to say one thing: "Junior Martial Aunt is awesome."

Inside the Fairy Valley, the young generation felt tingles on their scalps.

Because among them, most had looked down upon this seemingly young girl with disdain, never imagining that she would be so powerful.

Is this what the Wuji Sect is like? Is this Chen Pingping’s junior sister?

"Ah! Young one, you’re courting death!" A Star Sea powerhouse snapped back to reality, his anger ablaze.

Zi Ji instinctively halted her steps.

The rageful powerhouse froze, his breathing stopped, too afraid to utter another word.

Then, among the ranks of Star Sea, a youth who appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old angrily accused, "You’re lying."

Zi Ji frowned.

The youth continued, "Didn’t you say that you didn’t have much combat strength left?"

Recalling what had happened earlier, Zi Ji did indeed say those words—that she didn’t have much combat strength left, nor did she possess an Emperor Weapon. Yet she raised her hand and cut down a Saint Realm individual. If that wasn’t deceitful, what was?

"I didn’t," Zi Ji replied. "I truly didn’t have much combat strength just now."

"But you killed our elder," the youth retorted indignantly.

"I had Spirit Pills for recovery," Zi Ji said, looking at him.

"I don’t believe you."

Zi Ji paused a moment then took out several hundred ninth-grade Spirit Pills, stating, "I also have The King of Medicine! But I can’t tell you that."

Everyone: "..."

She added, "Those Medicine Kings are my secret; aside from my senior brothers and sisters, no one knows."

Li Qi spat blood.

The youth was dumbstruck, at a loss for words for a moment, unsure of how to refute.

At this time, Shisan arrived from Spirit Mountain, panting heavily. The first thing he said was, "Don’t fight, for God’s sake."

"Mr. Shisan, we haven’t started fighting yet," a Star Sea Saint Realm elder spoke up.

"And don’t even think about challenging them," Shisan continued.

"..."

"This place is strange; hurry back!" Shisan panted.

No one spoke.

Go back? The Star Sea had forcefully attacked twice. The first time, they lost due to lack of preparation. The second time, they lost to a young girl, and two powerful Saint Realm individuals died. If they were to retreat now, where would the pride of the Star Sea lie?

Several high-ranking powerhouses grimaced, remaining silent.

Seeing this, Shisan explained, "Before I came, I made a divination. If the Star Sea goes to battle, it will be a nine-deaths-one-life situation—a truly dire predicament!"

"Yes, we have lost two from the Saint Realm," said the leader, an Elder dressed in a long robe.

Shisan was startled and only then did he notice the battlefield not far away.

"We’ve also lost a young genius," the Elder said gravely, and then took out an ancient cyan cauldron. "Given this, does Mr. Shisan think there is a chance for the Star Sea to turn things around?"

An intact Quasi-Emperor Weapon.

Truth be told, it was the first time Shisan had seen one. He had always been quite vague about concepts such as realms, grades of weapons, and the like.

He only knew that the Star Sea was very powerful and was unaware of the depths of the Wuji Sect’s heritage.

But his calculations from Heavenly Fortune Tao had shown that for the Star Sea to go to battle was to court death, a truly dire predicament. It didn’t matter what heritage the Star Sea possessed or what powerful Divine Weapons they brought.

It really had nothing to do with it.

However, seeing their stubborn and resolute eyes, Shisan sighed and chose not to speak any further.

Forget it, forget it!

He shook his head and said, "Elder Yang asked me to come here to review the situation. Now that I have seen it, I am going back to Spirit Mountain to sleep!"

If persuasion fails, then let it be. He was just a minor character after all.

Shisan’s figure grew more distant as he walked away, finally vanishing from sight.

The Elder of the Star Sea watched coldly ahead, the cyan ancient cauldron in his hands beginning to glow, emitting a powerful aura.

Seeing this, no one could breathe easily.

It was coming.

The Star Sea was about to take action.

Zi Ji had continuously slaughtered two Saint Realm experts and even slain a young genius before their very eyes. This shook the upper echelons of the Star Sea to rage, and they no longer heeded Shisan’s warning.

Li Qi’s voice trembled, "Junior Martial Aunt!"

Zi Ji lifted her head, pondering her next move.

Inside the City of Extinction, all the experts from Fairy Valley were ready for battle, including Wang Xiaodao.

Bai Yisheng spoke, "You guys should come back first!"

"Junior Martial Aunt, let’s hurry back! The City of Extinction is guarded by three terrifying forces," Li Qi urged.

But Zi Ji remained unmoved.

Li Qi became anxious. "This time, we really can’t beat them!"

The Elder from the Star Sea who had stepped forth was a late-stage powerhouse. Moreover, he held a Quasi-Emperor Weapon. If it were to awaken, scarcely few from the Saint Realm could withstand it.

Zi Ji still didn’t speak and took out a piece of Talisman Paper.

This was given to her by Chen Pingping, which she had never used because Chen Pingping had warned her not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

BANG!

The cyan ancient cauldron began to awaken, its mighty aura surging into this place and covering everything.

Wang Xiaodao gave a smile, moving beside her. "Young lady, let us handle the battle that comes next."

Oh? Zi Ji looked sideways at him. "But, you can’t beat them!"

Wang Xiaodao: "..."

The people from Fairy Valley: "..."

"I feel like you really can’t beat them," she added earnestly. "Don’t worry, my Senior Brother instructed me to take good care of you before he left, not to let anything happen to you, so rest assured."

They were moved.

They had thought that in Chen Pingping’s heart, Fairy Valley was always dispensable, which was why they couldn’t enter the inner circle of the Wuji Sect. However, they hadn’t expected Chen Pingping to give such instructions before leaving.

But even though they were moved, the Star Sea was about to take action, and just relying on one young girl was not going to be enough to stop them.

Although their powers might also be somewhat strained, compared to Zi Ji alone, their strength was still somewhat greater.

Bai Yisheng came over, smiling. "Yes! You’ve already done very well. Let us handle things from here on out!"

The Elder was also speaking. "After today, Fairy Valley and the Wuji Sect will be one family."

He had reconciled with the idea.

"Yes." One after another, the experts from Fairy Valley came out. When they looked at Zi Ji, their expressions were all very gentle.

They were all moved by the young girl before them. This feeling went far beyond just Chen Pingping’s instructions; it was more about Zi Ji’s calmness and fearlessness in the face of powerful enemies, her disregard for life and death.

If a young girl could put life and death aside, then why couldn’t they?

Zi Ji was taken aback, somewhat baffled.

Knowing they couldn’t beat the enemy yet insisting on fighting anyway, wasn’t that seeking death? And why would they want to stop her? She still had a trump card!

Li Qi and Bai Yisheng, one to her left and one to her right, attempted to take Zi Ji back to the City of Extinction.

Bai Yisheng said, "Don’t try to be brave. Fairy Valley is also quite powerful."

Li Qi spoke up too, "Right, you have to trust them."
