Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 34: Jeppard
Obviously, the black swordsman who came to the rescue was Qi Ji.
" It seems that I am still too late..." Qi Ji muttered to himself as he looked at the tragic scene.
He somewhat regretted not giving up the spirit horse and traveling on his own. Otherwise, with his normal burst speed of over 100 meters per second, he could have arrived here faster.
After all, he was not used to his "superhuman" physique, and subconsciously believed that riding a horse was faster than running.
But he is not the kind of person who would complain about himself, nor would he feel guilty about it.
Just remember it next time.
He dismounted and patted the spirit horse gently. The spirit horse immediately understood and ran at his simple instruction and then jumped out of the encirclement with a big leap.
Many demons wanted to attack the spirit horse, but they were cleverly avoided.
Soon, they had no time to pay attention to the spirit horse that had jumped out of the encirclement.
Qi Ji has already started killing people!
The first thing he saw was the third-level tyrannical demon that had not yet figured out the situation and was looking at him with a ferocious face.
The next second, he disappeared, and then reappeared in front of the shocked tyrannical demon.
This time, he still held the Manyan giant sword in his right hand and placed it on the left side of his body - this was the starting posture of Shuiniao Luanwu.
The tyrannical demon reacted quickly, and four giant hands attacked Qi Ji at the same time. Two of the hands attacked Qi Ji's right arm that was holding the sword.
Qi Ji remained unmoved, but in a flash, he used his spirit as a spark and instantly ignited the magic power in several parts of his right arm in a specific order.
The magic burst technique - turbulence!
The three hundred-jin Manyan giant sword disappeared in an instant under Qi Ji's terrifying blow.
The next second, the four arms of the tyrannical demon had just attacked halfway when they were cut in half by the giant sword!
Blood and flesh flying everywhere!
The graceful horizontal slash of Shuiniao Luanwu seemed extremely violent under the oversized sword in Qi Ji's hand.
That's right, after nearly ten days of continuous practice, he has been able to successfully apply the magic burst technique of turbulence to the first move of Water Bird Dance.
Moreover, the increase was as much as 50%. Originally, the power under the Sun Breathing was only about twelve tons, but the force of the previous blow reached eighteen tons, which was comparable to the explosive power when he activated the markings.
This was only because he had just started to learn the techniques of magic burst and did not dare to ignite too many extraordinary factors.
The limit of the second stage is said to be able to burst out with a strength three times that of the first stage.
By then, his ultimate burst might reach a hundred tons, which might be just the level of the top fourth order.
The leader, the Tyrannical Demon, was killed instantly with one strike, shocking the other low-level demons nearby and causing them to roar in fear. Several Fallen Demons immediately turned around and fled.
Qi Ji did not chase after it. He just took a deep breath and rushed out of the herbivorous dragon's defense circle as soon as possible. Within a few seconds, he ran and rushed in circles again and again, and completely broke the fierce offensive of the surrounding demons.
Afterwards, under the fearful eyes of the demons who had begun to retreat in fear, he pursued them recklessly with the mentality of killing them all, and killed more than 99% of the demons.
Qi Ji even deliberately saved two giant demons for last out of mischievous fun, but then chopped them into pieces amid their desperate roars.
This tragic yet hopeless demonic attack was eventually completely thwarted.
When the spirit horse accompanied Qi Ji slowly back to the caravan, all the survivors looked at him as if they were a savior.
Qi Ji had no time to respond to their cheers.
He just closed his eyes slightly, quietly feeling the demon souls wandering aimlessly .
Those filthy and disgusting souls killed by him were quickly attracted towards Qi Ji, and then as if burned by the scorching sun, when they approached Qi Ji, the dark aura on their souls was burned out, leaving only a very small amount of essence that was absorbed into Qi Ji's body.
Qi Ji keenly felt that both his body and mind had become stronger.
This degree of strengthening is better than the one-day effect of Sun Breathing.
From a strength perspective, it added about five kilograms of basic strength to him.
This magical effect comes from the "Gift" entry given after the Wolf Sword Skill is fully upgraded. This entry can transform the purified demon soul into nourishment to enhance himself.
In addition, due to killing two second-level and one third-level demons, he gained 300 points of transcendence, and now his transcendence has reached 1,700 points.
The harvest was fruitful.
Then Qi Ji opened his eyes and finally began to look at the cheering caravan members who had gathered around him.
The caravan suffered heavy casualties, with only about twenty people left alive, many of whom were injured.
At their request, Qi Ji accepted the commission to temporarily protect the caravan.
Anyway, for him, he was on his way to the City of Immortality, so a little delay wouldn't be a big deal.
As for the big bag of gold coins that the other party insisted on giving him, although Qi Ji was not interested in money, in order to avoid arguing with the other party, he decisively accepted it.
The caravan quickly prepared itself in a sad atmosphere and set off again.
Qi Ji rode his spirit horse alongside the convoy. Although his speed was much slower than if he were traveling alone, he still had time to reach the city before dark.
About two hours later, a group of soldiers with noble bearing and well-dressed armor came towards us on the official road.
The leader was a handsome, upright young non-commissioned officer with blond hair and blue eyes.
He was riding on an armored white horse, with a large rectangular shield embedded in his left hand. He saw from afar that the caravan on Qi Ji's side had obvious signs of fighting, so he immediately waved his hand and rushed over here with all his subordinates.
Before he got there, he saw the merchants had doubtful and wary expressions, so he stopped his horse and said loudly, "I am Jeppard, the garrison officer of Longjeviti, and I am currently on patrol."
He first revealed his identity, which immediately cheered up all the merchants and made them completely let down their guard against the soldiers.
Then he asked, "I see that many of your people are injured and the cargo boxes are damaged. Did you encounter thieves?"
The negotiator temporarily nominated by the caravan immediately stepped forward and reported to Jeppard that they were attacked by demons in broad daylight. He also took the opportunity to tell him about Qi Ji who descended from the sky and saved them from desperate situation.
After listening to this, Jeppard frowned and pondered, "Another incident of demons gathering to attack in the daytime has occurred... It seems that we need to further increase the patrol area and manpower."
Then, he turned his head to Qi Ji, and a smile of sincere admiration appeared on his noble and upright face: "You must be the Mr. Gus they are talking about? Thank you for lending a helping hand and rescuing our Longjieviti caravan."
Qi Ji, now using the alias Gus, smiled and nodded at Jeppard: "I was just heading to your city, so I just did it for the sake of convenience."
Jeppard shook his head. "In any case, Mr. Gus's righteousness should be thanked by Longjeviti. Please stay in Longjeviti for two more nights. I will report Mr. Gus's righteous act to the city lord. I believe the city lord will also give Mr. Gus a large reward."
In this way, Jeppard's garrison joined the caravan as temporary guards, accompanying Qi Ji to their destination.
As night approached dusk, the caravan finally arrived at the city gate of Longjeviti.
