Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1105: Chapter 396: The Nightmare of Paternal Kindness and Filial Piety, and the Bone Nightmare

”I wonder if Brother Di has a place to settle in the Jiyuan Continent? If not, perhaps you could consider our Bone Nightmare Sect...”

Having developed a good impression, Ma Gui naturally began recruiting for the sect.

Ji Yuan hesitated slightly upon hearing this, then transformed into Escape Light and arrived atop the sand dune where Ma Gui was.

This action caused Ma Gui to instinctively step back a few paces, placing his left hand in front in a defensive posture.

But Ji Yuan had no intention of attacking. He casually glanced at the group of Nascent Soul Cultivators already deep within the Illusion Realm, before speaking to Ma Gui:

”I understand Brother Ma’s intentions, however, such a significant matter requires the decision of my venerable master.”

”I understand, I understand.”

Ma Gui nodded repeatedly, yet he didn’t lower his defensive stance.

”And to be honest with Brother Ma, my master and I have lived in the Land of the Far East for many years. The Xuanqing Sect has also expressed their intentions to recruit us, and my master and Master Xuanqing have a close relationship.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Gui’s expression dimmed.

A relationship between Nascent Soul cultivators usually means there’s no room for negotiation.

”However, I’ve never liked Xuanqing Sect. I always feel that there are too many rules within their sect,” Ji Yuan shook his head, expressing his thoughts.

”Really...”

Ma Gui immediately showed interest again. While he might not recruit a Nascent Soul Cultivator, gaining the personal disciple of one would also be a significant advantage.

With such ties, the Nascent Soul Cultivator would surely have a different attitude towards Bone Nightmare Sect.

As for Bone Nightmare Old Demon, his only concern would be whether the sect could gain another Nascent Soul Cultivator.

”In this respect, Brother Di can rest assured. Our Bone Nightmare Sect is known among the Eight Holy Lands for having few rules and a lot of freedom.”

Ma Gui spread his hands and chuckled.

At the moment he relaxed his guard and spread his hands... Ji Yuan made his move, closing the short distance without using the Escape Light of Magic Cultivation but instead employing the Secret Technique of Body Cultivation.

He appeared in front of Ma Gui almost instantly.

The speed was so fast that Ji Yuan didn’t have time to summon the Canglan Sword, but he had already reached out and grasped Ma Gui’s throat.

With tremendous force, he immediately pulled him off the sand dune. Ji Yuan wanted to crush him immediately; however, when he applied force, it activated the bone armor Ma Gui was wearing.

A white bone protective shield appeared, enveloping Ma Gui completely.

But... what of it?

Ji Yuan summoned five Canglan Swords, flickering with Purple Thunder. Four of them formed a square and locked Ma Gui, encased in the bone armor.

”Seeking death, are you!”

After enduring Ji Yuan’s first killing move, Ma Gui immediately reacted. He swung his right hand forward, manifesting the Demon Marrow Drill, which he gripped with one hand and thrust into the void.

”Bang—”

”Bang—”

”Bang—”

The sound rang out three times consecutively. Figures of Demon Marrow Drills appeared all around both of them, charging toward Ji Yuan from all directions. He glanced with his Divine Sense, but did not dodge or evade.

As Ma Gui released the Demon Marrow Drill, aiming to chill Ji Yuan to the bone at that moment.

He also used Heart Thought to trigger the Purple Sky Divine Thunder contained within the Canglan Sword.

The water borrowed the power of the thunder.

Instantaneously, a net of thunder and rain formed around Ma Gui, especially as Ji Yuan consecutively activated the Purple Sky Divine Thunder embedded within the four Flying Swords, which contained enormous power and shattered Ma Gui’s defenses in an instant.

Lightning penetrated straight into the marrow!

”Ah!!!”

Ma Gui, who didn’t cultivate his physique, couldn’t endure even for a moment once the lightning entered his body, quickly breaking his defense and emitted a scream of agony.

Once he lost the ability to resist, the uncontrolled Demon Marrow Drill began to fly chaotically.

Ji Yuan maneuvered the remaining Giant Que Sword to slash horizontally, knocking the Demon Marrow Drill away.
