"Brother Li, let's join forces and attack."
Di Yunfei saw Lin Xiao's strength and could not help calling on Li Chengwu to attack Lin Xiao together.
Though Li Chengwu frowned slightly, displeased with such dishonorable tactics, he could only comply.
He was no longer a border army commander. Branded a traitor and having joined the evil White Lotus Sect, he had become a rat crossing the street, shouted at and beaten by all. There was no need to care about such empty fame anymore.
He swung his Bronze Staff and charged Lin Xiao alongside Di Yunfei in a pincer attack.
Now that the two had taken precautions, and both were slightly stronger in cultivation than Lin Xiao, it was no longer so easy for him to defeat them one by one.
Yet he welcomed all challengers. So what if two Grandmasters joined hands? Within the same realm, Lin Xiao had never feared anyone.
Even against a siege, he felt no fear whatsoever.
Clang!!!
The Bronze Staff swept out, its immense force directly knocking Lin Xiao back.
Li Chengwu then pressed the advantage, his staff shadows whirling as he gave Lin Xiao no chance to catch his breath.
Li Chengwu's martial arts had been comprehended from slaughtering enemies on the battlefield. They were broad and forceful, fierce beyond compare. Even Lin Xiao would have trouble taking him down in a short time.
What angered Lin Xiao even more was that from the moment Di Yunfei attacked, every strike had been aimed at Su Wan'er in his arms.
This made it impossible for Lin Xiao to fight with all his strength. This man was truly vicious and insidious.
With Li Chengwu also restraining him from the side, Lin Xiao was actually forced back step by step by the two of them.
"You're courting death!"
Lin Xiao suddenly let out a furious roar, and endless golden Sanskrit script instantly spread around him.
The sound of ghosts weeping and wolves howling echoed between heaven and earth.
This was the result of fully circulating the Heaven and Earth Converging Yin-Yang Great Compassion Ode.
Wave after wave of an aura that made souls tremble surged straight into the hearts of Di Yunfei and Li Chengwu.
Even though the two were Grandmaster-level experts, they could not help feeling their hands and feet turn cold, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
"What an evil technique."
Di Yunfei's expression turned grave as he looked at the golden Sanskrit script enveloping Lin Xiao and spoke in a deep voice.
The true energy Lin Xiao released distorted the surrounding air. Within a hundred meters of him, any tangible object that so much as brushed against that aura was ground into powder.
If the space of this martial world had not been stable enough, this max-level Heaven and Earth Converging Yin-Yang Great Compassion Ode alone could have shattered it.
After all, this was a high-martial world, not one of those low-martial worlds from the original work.
If the current Lin Xiao were placed into the world of the original work, he could absolutely sweep across the entire plane and easily tear open the void to ascend.
The reason Lin Xiao could create such a sight now was the max-level Heaven Collapsing Earth Sinking Grand Formless Skill.
The vital essence of more than half of Green Peak Mountain was drained away, forming a sphere condensed from golden Sanskrit script, which Lin Xiao then pushed out with one palm.
The sphere turned into a bolt of golden lightning and shot fiercely toward Di Yunfei and Li Chengwu.
Boom!!!
The entire Green Peak Mountain shook, while terrifying shockwaves rippled outward in all directions.
Wherever those ripples passed, every living thing had its vital essence drained dry.
When the shockwaves finally dispersed, Lin Xiao, still holding Su Wan'er in his arms, could not help showing a trace of pallor. Even his body swayed slightly.
Clearly, even Lin Xiao found it difficult to bear the strain of using that move.
Yet Lin Xiao recovered extremely quickly. Within only a few breaths, he had regained some of his strength.
Li Chengwu, who had been struck head-on, had long since lost all breath. The Bronze Staff in his hand had turned into fragments, and half his body had already vanished.
Di Yunfei, meanwhile, still had one last breath, but he was grievously wounded and on the verge of death. He could not even move a finger.
After recovering some true energy, Lin Xiao looked into the distance.
"Did you think this official wouldn't discover you just because you were playing dead?"
The person Lin Xiao referred to was the White Lotus Saintess.
It turned out that because she had hidden far enough away, the White Lotus Saintess had luckily escaped with her life.
But Lin Xiao's senses were exceptionally sharp, and he had caught her aura.
Seeing that the White Lotus Saintess did not respond, Lin Xiao gave a cold smile. "Heh, since you like playing dead so much, this official will grant your wish."
Knowing that Lin Xiao had developed killing intent, the White Lotus Saintess did not dare keep pretending. She struggled free from beneath a fallen tree, her eyes fixed on Lin Xiao with boundless hatred. In her hand, she clutched a white-lotus-shaped Jade Pendant and crushed it with all her strength.
"Lin Xiao, though you won this battle, our game is not over yet. You cannot kill me."
"Hm?"
Hearing the White Lotus Saintess's words, Lin Xiao frowned, unsure what other trump card this woman possessed.
Could it be the trump card she had used back in the capital?
But with his current strength, if the White Lotus Saintess used that same trump card again, it would not be able to stop him at all.
The instant the white-lotus-shaped Jade Pendant shattered, a terrifying aura suddenly rose from all of Green Peak Mountain.
"Not good."
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xiao grabbed Su Wan'er and turned to flee.
The White Lotus Saintess watched Lin Xiao escape with a cold smile, mockery in her eyes.
After the Jade Pendant shattered, a rift suddenly appeared above Green Peak Mountain, and a majestic voice rang out.
"Who dares seek to kill the Saintess of my White Lotus Sect? Have they grown tired of living?"
Within the rift, an illusory female figure appeared. She was none other than the White Lotus Mother of the White Lotus Sect.
"This disciple was incompetent and disturbed you, Master."
"Useless trash."
Hearing the White Lotus Saintess's words, the White Lotus Mother snorted coldly. Her illusory figure slowly raised an arm and pressed a finger toward Lin Xiao's rapidly fleeing back in the distance.
The instant that finger descended, every hair on Lin Xiao's body stood on end, as though some terrifying monster had fixed its gaze upon him.
Without hesitation, he turned around and activated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, Heaven and Earth Converging Yin-Yang Great Compassion Ode, and other divine techniques to their fullest.
At last, he struck toward the finger formed from condensed true energy in the sky.
A layer of invisible barrier also surrounded his body—the Heaven Shocking Earth Shattering Grand Reincarnation Seal from the Heaven and Earth Converging Yin-Yang Great Compassion Ode.
The Heaven Shocking Earth Shattering Grand Reincarnation Seal was a technique that borrowed force to return force, deflected and rebounded power, absorbed and transformed external force, and transferred damage.
Its ability to deflect force and defend was not the slightest bit inferior to techniques such as Star Shifting and the Qiankun Great Shift.
If one could cultivate the Heaven Shocking Earth Shattering Grand Reincarnation Seal to its pinnacle, one would be invincible by nature and could even borrow the Power of Heaven and Earth for one's own use.
And the attack of a Void Shattering Realm supreme expert such as the White Lotus Mother had itself been unleashed by drawing upon the Power of Heaven and Earth.
Before the finger seal even fell, some of the Power of Heaven and Earth attached to the attack had already been absorbed by the Grand Reincarnation Seal.
If Lin Xiao's realm had not been insufficient, and his body not strong enough to withstand the augmentation of the Power of Heaven and Earth, he could have easily blocked the White Lotus Mother's attack with the Grand Reincarnation Seal alone.
Before the finger seal could descend, one-third of its power had already been reduced. Combined with Lin Xiao's body strengthened by the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, as well as the formidable defense of the Heaven and Earth Converging Yin-Yang Great Compassion Ode—
He actually blocked the White Lotus Mother's attack.
But though he had blocked it, Lin Xiao was still blasted from the sky to the ground by the impact.
The instant he landed, Lin Xiao told the panicked Su Wan'er, "Whatever happens, do not make a sound."
Boom!!!
Green Peak Mountain shook. Then smoke and dust filled the air, and all returned to silence.
After launching that single move, the White Lotus Mother never considered that Lin Xiao could survive. She directly seized the White Lotus Saintess across the distance and pulled her into the spatial rift.
"Enough. You have handled these last two missions very poorly. Even if you are my disciple, you must return to the sect to be punished."
Thinking of the punishment awaiting her, the White Lotus Saintess's face turned somewhat pale. But when she thought of how Lin Xiao had finally been killed, her mood improved considerably.
Her hatred for Lin Xiao ran far too deep.
