Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 33: City of Immortality
The target is Longjeviti, the city of immortality.
According to the rumors Qi Ji heard in the last city he settled in, Longjieweiti is a very famous city on the Xicang Continent.
The reason for its fame is, as its name suggests, the residents of the city are all long-lived, and their life expectancy is much longer than the average of 150 years on the mainland.
The family name of the lord of this city of immortality is the "Longjieviti" family, which means immortality.
It is said that every city lord, regardless of whether they can cultivate to the fifth level or not, will have a longer lifespan than ordinary transcendents.
The current city lord is only a senior fourth-level person, and his current age has reached 500 years, which exceeds the lifespan of most fourth-level people.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that even though Longjeviti is already a large super city, there is still an endless stream of wealthy businessmen who want to immigrate here to live permanently in order to seek a longer life.
This is indeed a rich and happy city.
When Qi Ji mentioned this destination which was the only way to get there when chatting with Lani, Lani, who was a great witch, sneered at it.
This witch, who had lived for an unknown number of years, said calmly, "Everything in the world is balanced. Immortality without a price never exists. If one person achieves immortality, someone else must die young. Under the surface of prosperity, there may not be happiness and contentment, but piles of withered bones."
Qi Ji was slightly stunned, and asked Lingdang: "Teacher Lani, are you saying that there is something wrong with the city of Longjieweiti?"
"Yes, and it's a big problem." Lani said in a leisurely voice, "If you are interested, you can verify it yourself. Of course, if you feel that time is tight, there is no need to waste time there. Just take a night's rest and leave immediately."
After saying that, before Qi Ji could ask further questions, the bell stopped making any sound.
Okay, let’s all be Riddlers, right?
Qi Ji stopped hesitating and continued riding forward.
After riding the spirit horse for more than ten minutes, his pupils trembled and he saw an unusual scene several kilometers away.
He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the spirit horse's running speed increased by another 30%.
…
A few kilometers away, a fierce battle was taking place.
The demons that used to only appear when the sun went down have now gathered together, forming a group of more than a hundred, and are besieging a medium-sized caravan.
The caravan obviously had not expected such a situation. According to their usual practice, short-distance merchants traveling during the day did not need to hire too many strong guards.
Therefore, among the current caravan of dozens of people, only about ten mercenaries were hired to provide basic protection.
Now, the caravan was suddenly ambushed, and more than a dozen people were abducted in the first place.
The remaining people, under the organization of the mercenaries, relied on the temporary defense built by the herbivorous dragons to resist hard.
Although the vast majority of them are beast demons that have not yet reached the extraordinary level, the number of demons is simply too large.
What is even more despairing is that among this group of demons, there are three powerful demons of level two or above and six or seven level one fallen wizards who can cast fireballs and resurrect their subordinates.
The mercenary team of only ten people was obviously not strong enough. Three low-level mercenaries were killed on the spot by second-level demons as soon as they came face to face with the demons.
These three demons above level two are a furious demon and two giant beasts shaped like gorillas.
Now, the only two second-level mercenaries were leading the remaining five team members to fight the three second-level demons with difficulty.
As for the other weaker demons, they can only rely on the caravan's own strong members, hiding in the encirclement of the herbivorous dragons with weapons and trying their best to defend themselves.
In this situation, it was impossible to organize an effective defense, and people were constantly dragged out by the demons that jumped into the defense circle.
Screams and cries were heard everywhere, and blood was flowing all over the ground.
The abducted people could only scream in despair, and then they were surrounded and torn to pieces by demons on the spot and turned into blood food.
This is a pathetic caravan destined to be cannibalized.
Then, an even more desperate situation occurred.
The defensive posture of one of the two second-level mercenaries was finally broken by the crazy giant demon.
A lot of blood flew out of his mouth, and the next second, another giant demon's big hand grabbed him!
Soon, a second big hand grabbed up, one hand grabbed the chest , and the other hand grabbed the thigh... and then tore it apart violently!
Quack!!!
Blood rain blooms!
The second-level mercenary who was torn in half let out a sharp howl, with blood gushing out of his mouth.
The next second, his two halves were thrown into the demon army by the giant demon who was roaring triumphantly, and many demons who were salivating immediately surrounded him.
The horrible gnawing and chewing sounds accompanied by screams of terror continued to ring out.
Another second-level mercenary was so frightened that he shouted to his subordinates to turn around and run away.
Protecting a caravan or something like that is not worth risking your life for that little bit of commission!
The furious demon that had been standing aside and not participating in the attack grinned wildly when he saw this.
Then, it completed its transformation amidst wild laughter!
A long-horned troll with four arms and nearly three meters in height suddenly descended, and its terrifying aura hit everyone present like an explosion.
Then, it suddenly jumped and landed above the fleeing mercenary!
Boom!
With a dull thud, the Raging Demon fell in front of the only remaining second-level mercenary captain.
"Level...Level 3!" the mercenary captain muttered in despair.
The next second, the Furious Demon reached out with all four hands and grabbed the limbs of the mercenary captain who was desperately resisting but was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
Then he raised his four hands high and tore the mercenary captain into four pieces on the spot.
It laughed wildly, hanging the four pieces of the corpse above its head, and drinking the spurting blood to its heart's content.
When everyone saw this horrifying scene, they all let out a loud and sharp scream.
He was horrified by the fate of the mercenary captain, and also despaired by his own doomed tragic death.
Whisper, whisper, whisper——
At this moment, accompanied by a clear horse neigh, a white horse carrying a black-armored swordsman leaped out of the air!
The figures of men and horses flew high above, like gods descending from heaven under the backlight of the sun.
A second later, the white horse fell into the encirclement of the devil!
Then, as if it had understood its master's thoughts, it suddenly lowered its head.
The moment it lowered its head, the black swordsman on its back took decisive action, and the giant sword that had been waiting on the left side swept out heavily!
Bang!
A muffled slashing sound was heard, and the giant blade in the black swordsman's hand, which was so big that it didn't look like a sword at all, drew a perfect circle.
In an instant, only blood, flesh and broken limbs were seen flying everywhere, and countless demons were cut in half on the spot!
Not only that, the slash of the giant sword also brought out a terrifying vacuum blade. In addition to the main body, this vacuum blade also extended outward seven or eight meters, also killing countless demons!
With one strike, no demon was left alive in the circle with a radius of nearly ten meters around the black swordsman!
