In the confrontation, a figure broke through the crowd and directly attacked Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji’s side was also prepared. The wind blade that had been condensed for a long time was instantly activated without a sound nor shadow.
Three sounds of silk being torn could be heard.
Three streams of blood shot out from the person’s shoulder, chest, and abdomen. They instantly stopped and at the same time, returned a punch to Zhou Ji.
This punch carried the sound of the wind. Although Zhou Ji was able to react, he didn’t have any good countermeasures. He could only cross his arms to block.
With a bang, Zhou Ji’s arms went numb, and he flew back three meters.
Was this a body cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm?
Zhou Ji gently shook his numb arms, and his thoughts slowly moved.
The surrounding desolate bandits had already become spectators. They didn’t dare to rashly attack Zhou Ji, which also gave Zhou Ji time to catch his breath. He defended in a sorry state. Seeing that the Blood Eagle’s attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer, he became more and more anxious. Right now, he was completely relying on his physical fitness to withstand it. There was no technique to speak of.
He had never come into contact with such things as close combat. Zhou Ji also knew that if he continued to delay, sooner or later, he would reveal his weakness and the guy in front of him would find an opportunity!
‘Why should I use my weakness to defend against the enemy’s strength?’
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Zhou Ji’s mind. Lightning appeared on his palms once again.
There were two stages to the Lightning Attracting Technique. One was to condense lightning in the palm of the palm. From this stage onwards, the Lightning in the palm of the hand already had a lethality. The second stage was to release the Lightning in the palm of the hand. This stage had a certain lethality within a certain distance. However, after a certain distance, the power could not even be compared to the power of a one-time use lighter on earth.
This time, Zhou Ji was not prepared to release the two balls of lightning. Just like how he dealt with the giant eagle previously, when the Blood Eagle swung his fist towards his abdomen. Zhou Ji did not dodge. He slapped the Blood Eagle’s wrist with one hand and his chest with the other.
The Blood Eagle had been in the wilderness for so long and had experienced countless battles of all sizes. The more he fought, the more frightened he became. He had never met such a strange guy. He looked like a spiritual cultivator, but his physical quality was not inferior to his. When the spiritual cultivators in the past were approached by him, they would not have the ability to resist!
Originally, he was glad that this guy did not have a physical cultivation martial skill and could not use his full strength. However, just as he was about to capture this fellow alive and interrogate him about the secret of his cultivation technique, he did not expect that this fellow would actually backhand and slap him with two balls of lightning!
Bang!
Two consecutive explosions rang out.
Blood Eagle’s two arms turned charred black. Being struck by the lightning, he staggered from the explosion, and his body could not help but twitch.
Zhou Ji also took advantage of this break to forcefully endure the numbness in his arms. He raised his hand and released wind blades. One after another, wind blades rushed towards this fellow’s chest. After the five wind blades were shattered, the sixth wind blade finally pierced into Blood Eagle’s heart. Following the shattering of the sixth wind blade, waves of blood arrows shot out from Blood Eagle’s wound in an extremely orderly manner.
Finally, this fellow fell straight to the ground. Zhou Ji also let out a long sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the remaining people. At this moment, his face was already deathly pale, but his eyes were frighteningly sinister.
The remaining desolate bandits were intimidated by Zhou Ji’s imposing manner and did not dare to step forward.
Suddenly, an ice spike flew out from the crowd and shot towards Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji did not dodge. He turned his hand, and a wind blade flew towards the spot where the ice spike came from.
Before the ice spike arrived, the wind blade had already decapitated the ambushing bandit.
The ice spike that had lost control of its spiritual essence had also turned into water vapor and dissipated before it even got close to Zhou Ji.
Finally, as if it could not withstand the oppressive atmosphere, some of the bandits jumped out and jumped over the wall to run into the forest. Seeing this, the rest of the people began to panic and began to run for their lives one after another.
They were originally a motley crew, and they had gathered together because of the Blood Eagle’s martial strength. Now that the Blood Eagle was dead, they naturally began to flee in panic.
When there was no one around, Zhou Ji, who was standing at the same spot, could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He shakily moved his legs and walked to the side of a barrack to sit down. He took out healing medicine and medicine to recover spiritual essence from his storage bag, he poured all of it into his mouth and circulated his cultivation technique with all his strength, absorbing spiritual essence to recover his body. At this time, he could not even find a safe place to do so.
Whether it was to deal with the giant eagle or to deal with the Blood Eagle, he did not release the few lightning techniques to ensure its power. This was equivalent to him holding a grenade and stuffing it into someone else’s arms. If it were not for the fact that Zhou Ji’s own cultivation technique had granted him a certain degree of affinity with the thunder element and an increase in his physical fitness, Zhou Ji’s condition would not have been any better than the Blood Eagle’s.
This method of use was equivalent to injuring the enemy by a thousand and harming himself by eight hundred. Zhou Ji swore that he would not use this tactic again!
Of course, Zhou Ji’s injuries were mostly not from the backlash of the spell, but from the Blood Eagle’s attacks. This guy seemed to have mastered some sort of close combat fist and foot technique. After each punch landed on him, there would always be a violent spiritual essence that would follow the hit and destroy his internal organs. This was something that Zhou Ji had never come into contact with before.
Spiritual essence strengthening the body, strengthening the fists and feet… was this a body cultivation “spell”?
As Zhou Ji thought of this, his eyes lit up.
Two to three minutes later, Zhou Ji’s spiritual essence had almost fully recovered, and his internal injuries were still there. However, as long as he didn’t get beaten up like before, these minor internal injuries wouldn’t be a problem at all. Having regained his mobility, he walked over to the corpse of the chief of the Blood Eagle Fort and dug into his clothes. An exquisite storage bag appeared in his hand, and the number “six” was written in the corner.
In another corner, he found the injured and dying giant eagle and gave the monster a final blow. After thinking for a moment, he even took off the wings of the giant eagle. It was bird meat, after all, and its nutritional value was estimated to be ten times that of the beef and pork he usually ate.
Zhou Ji did not care about what was inside. He cast the shadow technique once again and headed toward the center of the camp where there was still the aura of life. That place looked like a place where prisoners were being held.
However, what kind of prisoners could be held in a place like this? It was nothing more than a kidnapped woman…
In the forest, a fat man was driving a floating shuttle to the place where the spiritual essence fluctuation was the most intense. He was the third-in-charge of the Blood Eagle Fort.
Just when that ruthless man hit the boss with a strange thunder technique, he felt that something was wrong. Immediately, the third-in-charge summoned his own floating shuttle without hesitation. Taking advantage of the moment when those small fries scattered and broke through the wall of the camp, he also escaped.
Of course, he didn’t want to escape. The second-in-charge also took away half of their assets. As long as he notified him in time, their Blood Eagle Fort might not be destroyed!
The battle around the large-scale floating shuttle was nearing its end.
In the end, there was nothing to see in a battle between Qi condensation and Foundation Establishment, especially on such a remote suburban planet. It was nothing more than finding a cover and exchanging blows with spirit spells. After second-in-charge controlled the flying needle to pierce through the eye of another Wangfang Trading Company guard and wring his brain into a lump, the people of the Blood Eagle Fort quickly made an opening.
“Haven’t you found them yet?” Boss Wang’s tone was gloomy. Although his face could not be seen, anyone could feel his current anger.
“No, Boss Wang. All the passengers are here,” the second-in-charge said softly, pointing at the corpses on the ground. He had concealed something. Previously, someone had reported that an opening had been opened in an encirclement in one direction.
Fortunately, that direction was in the direction of his base camp. In addition, he had already sent people to chase after him. It was completely impossible for the fish that had escaped the net to escape this pincer attack. He really wanted to ask about the situation through their specially made communication jade token. However, in order to settle the matter here, he had already arranged for people to set up a communication barrier in the surroundings, hence, he was still unclear about the situation outside.
However, he soon understood.
A fatty panted as he rushed in from the outside. He said in a terrified voice, “Sir! Our camp was ambushed! Blood Eagle…. he died in battle!”
