First Encounter with the White Lotus Mother

"Brother Li, let's team up."

Di Yunfei, seeing how powerful Lin Xiao was, couldn't help but call out to Li Chengwu to attack Lin Xiao together.

Although Li Chengwu frowned slightly, feeling a bit displeased with such underhanded tactics, he could only comply.

He was no longer a border army commander, had been branded a traitor, and had joined the evil White Lotus Sect, becoming a universally reviled figure. He no longer cared about such trivial reputations.

Wielding his Bronze Staff, he moved in a cross-formation with Di Yunfei, attacking Lin Xiao.

With both of them on guard and their realms slightly stronger than Lin Xiao's, it was no longer easy for Lin Xiao to defeat them one by one.

But he accepted the challenge without hesitation. What if two Grandmasters teamed up? Lin Xiao had never feared anyone of the same cultivation level.

He wasn't intimidated even by a group attack.

Clang!!!

The Bronze Staff swung, and its immense power directly repelled Lin Xiao.

Then, Li Chengwu pressed his advantage, his staff a blur, giving Lin Xiao no chance to catch his breath.

Li Chengwu's martial arts style was forged in the crucible of battlefield combat, characterized by its broad, powerful, and fierce movements. Even Lin Xiao found it difficult to defeat him quickly.

What angered Lin Xiao even more was that Di Yunfei, from the very beginning, had been targeting Su Wan'er in his arms with every strike.

This prevented Lin Xiao from fighting with his full strength; the man was truly insidious.

Coupled with Li Chengwu's constant pressure from the side, Lin Xiao was forced to retreat under the combined assault of the two.

"You are courting death."

Lin Xiao suddenly roared, and boundless golden Sanskrit script instantly permeated his body.

The sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling accompanied the phenomenon in the heavens and earth.

This was the result of fully activating the Heaven and Earth Mutual Conquest Yin Yang Great Compassion Art.

Waves of energy that made the soul tremble surged directly into the hearts of Di Yunfei and Li Chengwu.

Even though they were Grandmaster experts, their hands and feet grew cold, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

"What an evil technique."

Di Yunfei's expression turned grave as he looked at the golden Sanskrit script enveloping Lin Xiao, speaking in a deep voice.

At this moment, the True Qi released by Lin Xiao distorted the surrounding air. Within a hundred meters of him, any tangible object, upon slight contact with the aura, turned to dust.

If this martial world's space wasn't stable enough, the full-level Heaven and Earth Mutual Conquest Yin Yang Great Compassion Art alone would have been enough to shatter it.

After all, this was a high-level martial world, incomparable to the low-level martial world in the original story.

If the current Lin Xiao were placed in the world of the original story, he could have swept through the entire Plane and easily ascended by breaking through the void.

The reason Lin Xiao could create such a spectacle now was due to the full-level Heaven Collapsing Earth Sinking Grand Formless Skill.

The essence of half of Green Peak Mountain was drained, forming a sphere of condensed golden Sanskrit script, which Lin Xiao then pushed out with a palm strike.

The sphere transformed into a golden lightning bolt and shot rapidly towards Di Yunfei and Li Chengwu.

Boom!!!

The entire Green Peak Mountain shook, and terrifying residual waves spread outwards like ripples.

Wherever these ripples passed, all living things had their essence drained.

When the aftershocks subsided, Lin Xiao, holding Su Wan'er, showed a hint of paleness on his face, his figure even swaying slightly.

It was clear that even for Lin Xiao, unleashing this move was taxing.

However, Lin Xiao's recovery was also very fast. Within a few breaths, he had regained some strength.

Li Chengwu, who had been hit by the attack, was already lifeless. His Bronze Staff had turned to dust, and half of his body had vanished.

Di Yunfei, though still breathing, was critically wounded and dying, unable to even move a finger.

After recovering some True Qi, Lin Xiao's gaze fixed on the distance.

"Did you think I wouldn't notice you pretending to be dead?"

The person Lin Xiao was referring to was the White Lotus Saintess.

It turned out the White Lotus Saintess had narrowly escaped death by hiding far away.

But Lin Xiao's senses were extremely powerful, and he had detected her presence.

Seeing that the White Lotus Saintess did not respond, Lin Xiao let out a cold laugh, "Heh, since you like pretending to be dead so much, I'll grant your wish."

Knowing Lin Xiao's murderous intent, the White Lotus Saintess dared not continue feigning death. She struggled free from beneath a fallen tree, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Lin Xiao, clutching a lotus-shaped Jade Pendant and squeezing it forcefully.

"Lin Xiao, although you've won this battle, our game is far from over. You can't kill me."

"Oh?"

Lin Xiao's brows furrowed upon hearing the White Lotus Saintess's words, wondering what trump card this woman still possessed.

Could it be the same trump card from their encounter in the Capital last time?

But with his current strength, if the White Lotus Saintess were to use that same trump card, it wouldn't be able to stop him at all.

The moment the White Lotus-style Jade Pendant was crushed, a terrifying aura surged from Green Peak Mountain.

"This is bad."

Lin Xiao didn't hesitate. He immediately grabbed Su Wan'er and turned to flee.

The White Lotus Saintess sneered as she watched Lin Xiao run, a mocking glint in her eyes.

After the Jade Pendant was crushed, a rift suddenly appeared in the sky above Green Peak Mountain, and a majestic voice emerged.

"Who dares to try and kill my White Lotus Sect's Saintess? Are you tired of living?"

Within the rift, a phantom female figure appeared. It was the White Lotus Mother of the White Lotus Sect.

"It is my disciples' incompetence that has disturbed you, esteemed Master."

"Useless."

The White Lotus Mother snorted coldly upon hearing the White Lotus Saintess's words. Her phantom figure slowly raised her arm and pressed down from afar towards the fleeing figure of Lin Xiao.

As she pressed down, Lin Xiao's hair stood on end, as if he were being targeted by some terrifying monster.

Without hesitation, he turned around and activated all his divine skills, including the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, and the Heaven and Earth Mutual Conquest Yin Yang Great Compassion Art.

Finally, he struck the finger made of True Qi in the sky.

On his body, there was also an invisible barrier, the Heaven Shocking Earth Shattering Grand Reincarnation Seal from the Heaven and Earth Intertwining Yin Yang Great Compassion Art.

The Heaven Shocking Earth Shattering Grand Reincarnation Seal was a technique that borrowed force to strike, deflected force, absorbed external force, and transferred damage.

Its ability to deflect force and defend was no weaker than the techniques like "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" and "Qiankun Great Shift."

If one could cultivate the Heaven Shocking Earth Shattering Grand Reincarnation Seal to its peak, they could stand in an invincible position even in the Innate Realm, and at its absolute extreme, they could borrow the power of heaven and earth for their own use.

The attack from a supreme expert like the White Lotus Mother, who was in the Void Shattering Realm, was inherently an attack that utilized the power of heaven and earth.

Before the finger seal could even land, some of the heavenly and earthly power attached to the attack was absorbed by the Grand Reincarnation Seal.

If Lin Xiao's realm were not insufficient and his physical body not strong enough to withstand the amplification of heavenly and earthly power, he could have easily blocked the White Lotus Mother's attack with just the Grand Reincarnation Seal.

The finger seal had not yet landed, and its power was reduced by one-third. Coupled with Lin Xiao's body, which was strengthened by the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, and the formidable defense of the Heaven and Earth Mutual Conquest Yin Yang Great Compassion Art.

He actually managed to block the White Lotus Mother's attack.

However, blocking it or not, Lin Xiao was still sent crashing from the sky to the ground by the impact.

The moment he landed, Lin Xiao said to the panicked Su Wan'er, "Don't make a sound."

BOOM!!!

Green Peak Mountain shook, and then smoke and dust filled the air, and everything returned to calm.

After unleashing her attack, the White Lotus Mother never expected Lin Xiao to survive. She directly grabbed the White Lotus Saintess through the spatial rift.

"Alright, your performance on these last two missions has been extremely unsatisfactory. Even though you are my disciple, you will have to return to the sect for punishment."

Thinking of the punishment she was about to receive, the White Lotus Saintess's face turned somewhat pale. But the thought of finally killing Lin Xiao made her mood recover considerably.

Her hatred for Lin Xiao was too intense.
