At first, Long-Bearded Man and the Huang family patriarch had surrounded Sauron. Then, in an instant, it became Sauron and the Huang family patriarch surrounding Long-Bearded Man.

Only, the various restraining maneuvers Long-Bearded Man had been using at the start were now replaced by Sauron weaving a net around him.

Meanwhile, the bald man was still playing cat and mouse with the Zhu Xian Sword. Bai Jiang had been slacking off nearby, his eyes flickering.

Tao Yu watched the scene, hesitating.

"Are you still not going to act? Then I might as well lay my cards on the table..."

He had to settle the situation before Xingcheng and the others left the area blocked off from communications!

Otherwise, their information would spread everywhere, and who knew what complications that might bring.

Just as Tao Yu was about to raise the stakes—

Bai Jiang, who had been slacking off, kept glancing at Xingcheng and the others. At last, he made up his mind.

Without a word or even a greeting, he suddenly produced the bronze sword sheath he had shown Tao Yu earlier.

But for some reason, an energy longsword now stuck out of the bronze sword sheath, point down.

The moment he saw the sword, Tao Yu realized something.

"What an overbearing authority! No—not just the combination of an authority and an item. There's something wrong with Bai Jiang..."

This was the hilt formed from the three strikes of Zhu Xian Sword Intent he had absorbed earlier!

Each strike was powerful enough to injure Tao Yu as he was now!

Without hesitation, Bai Jiang gripped the Energy Hilt as soon as he brought it out and swung, unleashing a dazzling white streak of light. It instantly slashed toward Sauron and the other two, who were locked in a fierce battle.
