Mountain and sea lantern

Chapter 614 One Shot
Regardless of whether lightning would damage the Boundless Banner, Shi Chun quickly pulled the banner open to cover his body, hoping to block it as much as possible, lest he be accidentally injured by the exploding rocks.

The three Celestial Immortals hiding within revealed themselves with expressions of shock, each with blood seeping from their mouths and noses. They had never imagined that the thick stone shells they had protected with their cultivation would be breached and exposed with a single blow.

How big of a thunderbolt was that? They hadn't seen the thunder sword strike.

"Kill!" The white-haired old man with a ferocious face roared, his furious shout seemingly drowning out the thunder in the sky.

The protective boulder exploded, and the Thunder Sword also crumbled. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he gave a command and unleashed a barrage of blows with both palms, shattering the rubble into countless fragments that hurtled towards Li Hongjiu.

The black-clad and gray-clad men, who had been awakened, were in the same boat. Faced with such terrifying power of thunder, when it came to their lives, who could care about Shi Chun's life or death? Fighting for their lives was the priority, and they unleashed a barrage of attacks indiscriminately.

Suddenly, rocks from three directions rained down like thunder, relentlessly attacking and bombarding the same spot.

Shi Chun was shocked. All he could do was shrink his head back and hide inside the Boundless Banner.

Li Hongjiu was also greatly shocked. Under such a powerful attack, and at such close range, he had no choice but to do his best.

They could no longer care about Shi Chun; at this point, all they could do was wish each other well and leave their fate to destiny.

He suddenly spun around, countless rocks slipping away at his touch, but blood mist splattered from his spinning body.

As for the rocks that hit Shi Chun, they all disappeared into thin air as if they had been thrown into water.

As the flying rocks subsided, the three celestial masters personally rushed over, vying to engage in close combat.

Li Hongjiu's abrupt turn came to a stop. One of her tattered left sleeves was empty and bloody, her left arm was gone, and her clothes were stained with blood in many places. Her hair was disheveled and flying in the wind, and blood was dripping from her mouth and nose. She was swaying and about to collapse.

Nevertheless, he coldly pointed his finger in front of him and launched another counterattack.

The white-haired old man couldn't let him regain his momentum. With a sinister grin, he raised his hand and reached out to grab him from afar, intending to crush him in one blow.

Li Hongjiu raised her eyelids and stared coldly at him, showing no sign of panic.

Because the speed of the lightning in the sky was faster than the speed at which the opponent attacked.

With a deafening roar, a forest of lightning suddenly descended, countless bolts of thunder indiscriminately striking down, intertwining and flashing like a net, constantly changing formation.

The three celestial masters, struck by lightning, trembled in mid-air, their mouths quivering. Tentacle-like arcs of electricity twisted and turned all around them, sometimes several, sometimes more than a dozen.

The three of them felt their eyes roll back, an involuntary, unpleasant sensation, but they managed to hold on by casting spells with their conscious minds, slowly shifting their hand gestures, trying to get used to it before retaliating.

Seeing that he still couldn't defeat the three, Li Hongjiu coughed up a large amount of blood, his face turned pale, and he was already swaying precariously, but he still managed to forcefully cast a spell again.

Amidst the countless arcs of electricity traversing the sky, the outlines of the three lightning swords slowly coalesced once more.

Just as it began to take shape, it suddenly disintegrated again, because Li Hongjiu choked on a mouthful of blood, and the blood-red stain on her clothes expanded even further.

But he did not give up. In the life-or-death struggle, he focused his mind and tried again, but just as the outline of the Thunder Sword emerged, he was destroyed again due to choking on blood.

"Damn it, the Boundless Banner got destroyed again..."

Shi Chun, who had been cursing from within the Boundless Banner, felt the commotion subside and popped up again, only to be startled by what he saw. What the hell?

His gaze quickly settled on Li Hongjiu's empty, blood-stained sleeve.

What happened? I only pulled my head back for a moment, how did I get injured like this?

I just thought Li Hongjiu was incredibly arrogant, how come he was crippled in just one encounter?

Suddenly snapping out of his daze, he glanced at the three masters trapped by the electric arc and hurriedly asked, "Brother Jiu, can they still move?"

Li Hongjiu wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she choked on a mouthful of blood.

He was truly speechless at this bastard. He was almost beaten to death, and this guy was still alive and well, acting like he was just watching a show. It was simply outrageous.

He now somewhat understood why this guy went to such lengths to obtain the Death Incense to repair those broken magical artifacts.

I also understand why this bastard can still live a good life despite running around recklessly everywhere.

He used to think that relying on external things was not conducive to his cultivation, but now it seems that having them is better than not having them, as they can save his life in critical moments!

"Damn it, if you can move, you won't just stand there like an idiot..." With another curse, Shi Chun quickly unfurled the broken Boundless Banner and pulled it away. He then conjured a long sword out of thin air and hurled it at the white-haired old man.

From beginning to end, this old guy was the worst, so he showed no mercy and went straight to the heart of the matter.

He didn't care about the other party's background or what kind of expert they were. There was no possibility of him holding back. If he had the chance, he would act decisively and kill them without hesitation!
Bang! A bolt of lightning protected the opponent, and a flash of lightning swept out of thin air, knocking the thrown sword away.

Shi Chun immediately glanced at the surrounding lightning forest, realized something, and quickly pulled out a long spear. He used the green energy of the Demon Bathing Technique to protect the spear, then flashed away into the air. The bright, lightning-shining spear pierced straight at the white-robed old man's head.

A frontal assassination.

The old man in white saw it, his eyes widened instantly, and he seemed to struggle, as if shouting, "How dare you?" *Thud*, he was shot in the head.

He thrust his gun out and then back, stabbing his opponent more than a dozen times in an instant.

After confirming that he had stabbed the man to pieces, Shi Chun rushed to the man in black and thrust his spear forward.

Bang! A bullet pierced straight to the heart. He pulled out the gun and stabbed the man in the neck, sending his head flying.

To deal with human cultivators, you don't need to stab them a dozen times; two shots to the vital points are enough. We're in a hurry.

Without hesitation, Li Hongjiu was vomiting blood like water, and it was clear that she was about to collapse.

Shi Chun flashed again, darting and weaving freely through the lightning forest, instantly appearing in front of the gray-clad man. He swung his spear down from mid-air, cleaving the man in two from the head.

Li Hongjiu, who had been struggling to hold on with his two fingers trembling in front of him, relaxed immediately upon seeing the three masters fall dead.

The lightning forest vanished without a trace. The terrifying scene from before seemed like a dream. His figure swayed, and he fell headfirst, flying with the swirling wind.

However, without his arduous efforts to maintain it, the tornado's wind force weakened instantly, and his mangled body spun and fell towards the sea.

Shi Chun wanted to chase after the three corpses that were flying in the whirlwind, which smelled like roasted meat from the electric shock. They were three experts at the Heavenly Immortal level, and they must have a lot of valuable things on them. Who knew that Li Hongjiu couldn't even last that long?

Forced to give up, he leaped backward and pounced, chasing after Li Hongjiu's falling figure.

As she fell, Li Hongjiu, whose eyelids were too weak to open, saw Shi Chunchong coming to rescue her. She was slightly surprised, knowing that there were still enemy accomplices outside. The powerful enemy had been eliminated, and she was now crippled and a burden. Why didn't this bastard take this opportunity to run away?

He was almost covered in blood; his clothes were soaked through...

The thunder suddenly subsided, leaving only occasional rumbles of thunder.

The rapidly spinning fog tornado also slowed down quickly, and its body showed a tendency to expand and spread.

"Have you finished the fight?"

"It should be resolved by now; everything that Li Hongjiu was controlling is collapsing."

Dong Sheng and his group watched from afar, whispering amongst themselves, but no one dared to approach and investigate. What if Li Hongjiu hadn't been defeated? If he could defeat three experts at the Heavenly Immortal realm, wouldn't they be courting death if they went to investigate?

Inside the tornado, the falling figure was eventually caught by Shi Chun.

Shi Chun grabbed Li Hongjiu and suspended her in mid-air. He casually checked her injuries and was shocked to find that she was seriously injured. Her internal organs were severely damaged, and several bones were broken. If she didn't receive treatment soon, she might not even survive.

He glanced at the three corpses that had fallen into the mist and sea, and without bothering to search for the three celestial masters' belongings, he quickly stopped Li Hongjiu's bleeding. If the bleeding continued, there would be no need to save her anymore.

Then he took out the pills, the best pills, the kind he would buy when he had money to save his life in a critical moment. Now he didn't care about the money and hurriedly fed them into Li Hongjiu's mouth. He then used magic to dissolve the pills and helped her swallow them.

Li Hongjiu prided himself on having some discernment, and even with his eyes slightly open, he could tell that Shi Chun was genuinely worried about his injuries.

This was the second time he had felt Shi Chun's genuine care for him.

That's why he weakly reminded him, "Now is the perfect opportunity to escape. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave at all."

"This place is not safe to stay for long, Brother Jiu. Just hold on a little longer. Once we find a safe place, I'll give you a proper treatment." After saying that, Shi Chun took out a Wind Scale with one hand, cast a spell, and quickly wrapped the two of them up into the sky. They rose straight up into the air along the slowly calming column of misty tornado.

Those standing before the mirror in the inn could naturally see that the thunder in the dark clouds reflected in the mirror had vanished.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, they suddenly saw a dark figure rush out from the center of the slowly dissipating vortex.

The pilot of the astronomical mirror immediately adjusted the image to track the figure. The image quickly caught up with the departing figure. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that Shi Chun was carrying a bloodied person and flying away urgently.

At this moment, everyone in the room realized that the man dressed as a coachman in the picture was Shi Chun.

Upon closer inspection, the person she was holding was no longer recognizable by the color of their clothes, which appeared to have been soaked in blood. Only after the wind blew aside their disheveled hair did one realize that it was Li Hongjiu.

The injury was clearly severe, and he was missing an arm.

Those present could imagine that if the sect leader of the Yanbao Sect knew that his precious disciple had been injured like this, he would be furious.

But that doesn't matter, because both sides have the confidence to suppress the temper of the Yanbao Sect.

What puzzled everyone was why they only saw these two people running away, but not their own pursuers.
A bad thought crossed their minds, but how could this be? A large group of people, including several celestial masters, how could they let these two get away?

Both Wei Mo and Alan quickly turned around and took out the mother-child talisman to contact their respective people.

As a result, Alan discovered that she had completely lost contact with her men. She immediately sent a telepathic message to the woman in red beside her, "Your Majesty, our people have lost contact. Those good-for-nothings are probably doomed. I'll go there myself."
