The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 850 Is Ji Yuan Dead?

?

Ji Yuan was actually prepared to suck his thumb to burn his golden talisman and to say good bye to all his Trust Points with the divine consorts when he could not defeat Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao.

He may not be able to defeat her now but it did not mean in the future, he would not be able to defeat her. 

It was exactly as Xiang Li and Anyang had suggested, a hero can live to fight another day. 

When the Goddess Ai Tina had made a sudden attack upon Number 1 Xiaoxiao, he was startled and he had stepped in to block the special soul attack talisman for her. 

The reason why Ji Yuan had blocked the special soul attack talisman from Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was not because he was kind or because he was attracted by her peerless beauty but because they were still having their duel and this sudden attack had crossed his bottom line with his martial honor. 

And also, because he did not see Ding Xiaoxiao killing wantonly and she had in fact, given ample warnings to everyone about how deadly her sword arts were.

In fact, he would see that her sword energies were restricted to only fighting him and there was a deliberate effort for a proper duel even though they had traded insults with each other. 

So, when the Goddess Ai Tina had suddenly made her sneak attack while Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was withdrawing her Sword Dao of the Universe Border, he was alarmed and displeased at the same time. 

Even if Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was an enemy, he could not stand for anyone that had tried to make such a conceal move like this. 

And so, he had blocked the lightning quick special soul attack talisman that was meant to attack her.

Before Ji Yuan closed his eyes, he muttered weakly. "You… are… an honorable sword deity… so you don't deserve… this fate…" 

"And… don't blame… the Goddess Ai Tina…" 

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was startled as she quickly inspected Ji Yuan but it was already too late; there was no breathing on him anymore as though his life had been stuffed out. 

Except for the Goddess Ai Tina who was still shocked that the impossible to miss special soul attack talisman would actually miss its target, all 5 divine consorts, Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing were all tearfully surrounding the fallen Ji Yuan and trying to revive him to no avails. 

The Goddess Ai Tina muttered to herself, "I didn't do this on purpose. I just want to kill Number 1…"

They did not even care if Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was their enemy and they were weeping aloud as they tried to revive the dead Ji Yuan. 

There was no totally no response from Ji Yuan because this was a most powerful soul attack that could void a cultivator's soul core. 

Ding Jie'Er, Yang Mi, Yu Jingjing and Tang Manni were weeping the most aloud and it was heartbreaking to watch them wept so bitterly. 

"Ji Yuan... wake up..."

"Yuan Beluga, you are not supposed to die... please wake up..."

"This is not supposed to be happening..."

Far away, in the crowd, Chu Lixue had watched the duel between Ji Yuan and Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao. 

When Ji Yuan had fallen onto the ground, she had burst into tears because at this instant, she had suddenly become a widow…

Her tears were not noticeable because there were many other maidens that were also weeping as well even though they were just onlookers.

Destiny had also slowly come to inspect Ji Yuan but it was for another reason; her slave collar was still intact and she was in disbelief. 

If Ji Yuan had died then she would be freed from this slave collar, right?

So, she bended down to inspect Ji Yuan as well and she was instantly alarmed by a familiar feeling.

Why is this physique so familiar?

It was as though she was touching the physique of the True Devil God himself.

It was because she had once dressed the wounds of the True Devil God and she knows his physique very well. 

Now this physique referred to not just the physical form and also the bone structure within the body. 

With a touch, a high-level immortal like Destiny would be able to gauge the density of the bone structure within a body and the True Devil God has an almost indestructible bone structure that is unique to himself. 

Destiny was looking confused now; he is the True Devil God?! 

Then she slowly turned to look at the weeping Xu Yifei and remembered that she had once told the Goddess Ai Tina that she knows who the True Devil God was and had asked her to spare Ji Yuan. And she will only tell the Goddess Ai Tina when the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower starts.

Isn't this obvious?

Because this Ji Yuan is the True Devil God himself and that is the secret that Xu Yifei is hiding from everyone.

And this Ji Yuan is also the one that the Great Beyond Goddess is looking to kill again after so many years.I think you should take a look at

But he is dead again now and he is in a comatose state. 

Destiny was also bleary eyes now because unlike the Great Beyond Goddess, she did not want the True Devil God to be dead. And he had spared her on many accounts as she had once nursed him back to health while he was in the Dark Entropy Realm.

The True Devil God had once told her, "In this life, it is not possible for us to be together. Maybe in the next life, I may return your affections but not this life."

A soul attack was an invisible death and no wounds could be left behind as evidence. 

Not even a high level spirit cultivator would be able to know from reading the cultivation core of the cultivator; It is as though the soul of that cultivator has suddenly disappeared. 

All of a sudden, the Goddess Ai Tina had suddenly coughed out golden blood as she collapsed on the spot!

This shocked the rest too.

What was going on?

Xu Yifei was so startled by it that she quickly flew to the side of the Goddess Ai Tina and to inspect her…

And there were suddenly many eyes that were upon Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao. 

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao said coldly in response to their stares, "Don't look at me like this. I didn't do a single thing to her."

All of a sudden Ji Yuan had suddenly awakened and he had straightened himself all of a sudden as he banged his head against Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao, Destiny, Yang Mi, Yu Jingjing, Tang Manni, Dongfang Xin, Sun Dingjun and Ding Jie'Er who were all crowding around him.

Ji Yuan blinked his eyes to say to all the stunned maidens, "What are you all doing around me?"

Sun Dingjun stammered, "You… are not dead yet, Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan?"

"Yuan Beluga, are you really alright?" Ding Jie'Er was also gasping with shock and her tears had not yet dried.

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao began to wonder, "Maybe it is the Goddess' Tear that has saved him?"

All of a sudden Ji Yuan was shocked to see that the peerless face of Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao was next to him.

He panicky shouted in his soul sea: Xiang Li, you are there? Xiang Li!!!! Xiang Li!!!!!

He did not want anything to happen to Xiang Li at all...

Xiang Li giggled: Of course, I am here. Big Brother, you are finally awakened. We didn't die. Hehe…

Ji Yuan was suddenly relieved; he did not want Xiang Li to sacrifice for him, not for any reasons. 

Anyang said weakly: But not for long. Don't forget that Number 1 is now next to you, my lord.

Ji Yuan had suddenly realized that Anyang was right so he quickly pretended to faint again.

"Master Ji Yuan…"

"Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan…"

"He is dead again…"

But Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao said coldly, "He is only pretending to be dead. You can wake up now. Our duel is over now. In fact, I have to thank you."

Ji Yuan opened his eyes and grinned weakly, "You don't have to thank me for helping you. This seems to be a weak soul attack talisman. Haha…"

Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao smiled at him, "Not that. But just now during our last fight, I seem to have overcome my years of blocker and have finally comprehended my Sword Dao of the Borderless Universe. So, when are you well enough for our next duel to test my new sword domain? Didn't you say that you are the Number 2 Sword Under the Heavens and there is no Number 1 Sword Above the Heavens?" 

Ji Yuan felt like he just got a big slap on his face. 

This time round, he had fainted for real; he had already been completely exhausted by his fight and only by his sheer willpower was he able to stay awake. But when he had heard that Number 1 Ding Xiaoxiao had actually comprehended a new sword domain and she wants to have another duel with him, he simply could not take the shock anymore and had fainted immediately. 

In the meantime, Destiny was greatly perplexed; it was because she had sensed a great profound power in the special attack soul talisman and yet Ji Yuan was alright. 

Then she took a subtle look where the unconsciousness Goddess Ai Tina was and she suddenly had an idea: Is it because…
