Urban Wolf King

Chapter 1281 1192: It's You

"""

Ji Congjing did not expect that he was so close to victory, only to fail at the last moment.

While fighting Luo Yuan earlier, Ji Congjing could clearly feel that Luo Yuan's injuries were severe, and his cultivation had significantly declined.

Yet, in the end, a massive force suddenly surged from within Luo Yuan's body, which was how Ji Congjing was sent flying.

As a result, the Power of Demon Patterns throughout Ji Congjing's body was confined by the tremendous force and could not operate at all.

Thus, facing Luo Yuan's attack, Ji Congjing had no means of counterattack and could only wait helplessly for death.

The crowd around them also knew the outcome at this point, realizing Ji Congjing was about to die under Luo Yuan's palm.

Even though Qin Shousheng wanted to step forward, all his cultivation power had been given to Ji Congjing, and what remained wasn't enough to even match an ordinary Demon Warrior. Going forward would be sending himself to death.

Therefore, Ji Congjing felt utter despair, closed his eyes, and waited for the palm to fall on him.

But at that moment, Ji Congjing suddenly felt an unimaginably powerful force surge from the ground into his body.

The force that had been confining him was scattered, and Ji Congjing immediately regained his ability to move.

The previously despairing Ji Congjing was suddenly filled with joy, and instinctively raised a hand, striking haphazardly in front of him.

This palm strike, made with closed eyes, was inaccurate and didn't target Luo Yuan's palm.

But the power behind the palm was so immense that even though it did not hit Luo Yuan's palm directly, the force of the palm wind rooted Luo Yuan in place, unable to advance.

Then, this massive force followed Ji Congjing's palm and shot out, entering Luo Yuan's body from a distance.

All that was heard was Luo Yuan's cry of pain, and then his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, suspended briefly in mid-air.

Ji Congjing quickly opened his eyes and saw that Luo Yuan, who had been close, had fallen tens of metres away, spitting blood continuously.

Seeing this, Ji Congjing's heart was filled with joy, and he quickly leapt to his feet.

However, Ji Congjing first turned to look behind her, wanting to know which powerful senior was helping her.

But looking around, although there were hundreds of people behind her, none had such powerful cultivation.

Seeing this, Ji Congjing began to doubt her judgment again, wondering if she was not assisted but had tapped into a massive force suddenly due to the Dual Cultivation Technique?

At this time, seeing Ji Congjing counterattack once more, the surrounding crowd was astonished again.

By this point, Luo Yuan was heavily injured, and despite trying to stand shakily, he couldn't manage it and remained sprawled on the ground, continually spitting blood.

Ji Congjing's face showed a hint of a cold smile as she said, "Governor Luo Yuan, it is time for me to take your position as governor today."

While speaking, Ji Congjing walked step by step towards Luo Yuan.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yuan was infuriated and shouted, "Ji Congjing, you're cheating, you're pulling a dirty trick on me."

Ji Congjing coldly replied, "Enough with the excuses, loss is loss, Luo Yuan, just accept your fate."

While speaking, Ji Congjing was closing in on Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan gritted his teeth and suddenly turned his head towards a small room behind him, calling out loudly, "Master, save me."

Upon hearing this, Ji Congjing became concerned.

Luo Yuan, being a governor, actually calls someone "master."

Above the governor, there can only be the position of Grand General or Prime Minister.

Ji Congjing's mind rapidly turned, realizing there must be a Grand General hiding in that little room.

No wonder Luo Yuan suddenly had strength to counterattack earlier; it must be the Grand General in the room secretly assisting him.

A Grand General having cultivation at the Demon Venerable level, if this person truly helps Luo Yuan, she certainly can't kill Luo Yuan.

If Luo Yuan does not die, once his injuries heal, he will undoubtedly seek revenge.

Thinking of this, Ji Congjing immediately shouted, "A governor dispute, how can one seek the help of others."

While saying this, Ji Congjing had already charged to the front of Luo Yuan, ready to strike down on the helpless Luo Yuan.

Ji Congjing planned to kill Luo Yuan immediately before the person inside the room could come out.

However, just as Ji Congjing's palm was about to fall, a strong wind flew out from a corner of the small house in the backyard, immediately striking Ji Congjing and sweeping her away, causing her to fall onto the ground.

Ji Congjing quickly climbed up from the ground, and though the whirlwind had not injured her, her expression changed drastically.

Because the power of the strong wind just now was so powerful that it couldn't have been from a Demon Saint.

In other words, inside the small house, there really was a powerful Demon Venerable.

Not only did Ji Congjing realise this, but the crowd around them did as well; noticing the presence of a powerful figure within the small house.

Sure enough, the wooden door of the house opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties slowly stepped out.

Upon seeing this man, everyone around gasped and exclaimed, "The Ninth Route General."

After recognizing this person, all around fell silent as if suddenly cold, not daring to speak a word, and even hesitant to breathe heavily.

The Great Qin Empire had thirty-six counties, organized into routes, thus forming twelve routes.

Each route had a Grand General in command, referred to as the Twelve Great Generals.

The man before them was indeed the general of the Ninth Route.

The Grand General's rank was entirely different from that of the governor.

First of all, a Grand General's cultivation must reach the Demon Venerable level, and every Grand General carries substantial military power.

As such, each Grand General is a person of significant influence.

The person before them was indeed the Ninth Route General, directly supervising Nanyang County.

Seeing the Ninth Route General appear, Ji Congjing's heart sank.

Even if emboldened, she dared not kill Luo Yuan in front of a Grand General.

However, Ji Congjing was unwilling to let go of the victory in her grasp, so she bowed: "Greetings, Grand General, your subordinate has defeated Luo Yuan and is now your subordinate."

Ji Congjing thought that even if the Ninth Route General had a rapport with Luo Yuan, in front of everyone's eyes, having defeated Luo Yuan, the Ninth Route General wouldn't speak on Luo Yuan's behalf.

To Ji Congjing's surprise, the Ninth Route General snorted coldly and said: "Defeating Luo Yuan was not due to your cultivation, but because someone assisted you. Thus, this battle does not count."

Upon hearing this, Ji Congjing's heart sank halfway, but she mustered some courage and said: "My lord, no one helped me."

The Ninth Route General glared and said angrily: "What? You dare to question me?"

When a Demon Venerable becomes angry, the aura is overwhelming.

Ji Congjing trembled under the pressure, and immediately knelt before the Grand General, trembling: "Your subordinate wouldn't dare."

The Ninth Route General said coldly: "From your demeanor, it seems you don't believe me. Very well, I will reveal the one assisting you from the shadows. Let's see what you have to say."

After speaking, the Ninth Route General pointed within the crowd and said: "It is you."
