Xu Bai's Never-Before-Seen Fighting Spirit

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

After Xu Bai finished speaking, Wen Si stared directly at Xu Bai, her gaze unwavering. Her eyes were very calm, but Xu Bai could see a hint of panic hidden within them.

"See, I was right. This is the only exit here. If you want to take the corpse and leave, you have to get past me." Xu Bai flicked the Black Saber Hundred Rends, his tone laced with mockery.

Just thinking about it, there are many things worth considering here. If you put yourself in Xu Bai's shoes, if he were in this situation, he would definitely not negotiate anything, he would just take the corpse and leave, running far away, since he can't get in anyway.

But this woman in front of him was actually talking about a deal, which was quite interesting. If it really was a deal, then there was definitely something fishy going on.

So where is the problem? After thinking about it carefully, Xu Bai realized that this place was all enclosed, and the exit was right in his tunnel.

Now that the white mist is helping you, no problem, I won't go in. But you'll have to come out after you get the body, right? If you don't want to come out, you can just stay inside.

Wen Si's expression was uncertain, especially when she saw Xu Bai's calm and collected demeanor, she knew that her thoughts had been seen through.

"This is a deal. Isn't Lord Xu most fond of discussing business?"

"Alright, bring out the corpse. No problem, just kill that person first, and I'll definitely let you go," Xu Bai said with a smile.

When Wen Si heard Xu Bai say that, even a fool would know the significance of it, so she became the one who felt awkward.

If they really did as Xu Bai said and took the corpse out, their heads would probably roll the next second.

Of course, she was just the one who was embarrassed, not the most embarrassed. The most embarrassed one was the gravedigger.

The gravedigger remained kneeling, looking left and right, and suddenly realized that something was amiss.

These two seem to be at odds, but they share a common goal: to kill themselves first.

The gravedigger was in a real bind. His gaze fell on the Bronze Coffin. He gritted his teeth and finally changed his posture, standing up from his kneeling position. At the same time, he picked up the shovel beside him and slowly walked towards Wen Si.

"You two have been chatting for so long, it seems you've forgotten about me. Don't forget, I'm part of this organization now too."

"Kill me? You think you can kill me with just your corpse? You're overestimating me."

As gravediggers, they are actually quite strong. After all, they do that kind of work all year round, and they never know when they will encounter danger. So gravediggers walk in danger, and their own strength must be considerable.

"I advise you not to make any rash moves. It would be easy for you to kill me, but have you thought about the current situation?" Wen Si wasn't afraid at all, after all, there was an even more terrifying person guarding the passage.

The gravedigger paused slightly, stopped, and put down his shovel.

He wasn't stupid; after a little thought, he understood the subtlety of it.

These few people seem to have formed a particularly delicate balance.

The gravedigger could kill Wen Si, since Wen Si brought in was a corpse.

Wen Si can make the white mist reappear, which is the key to limiting Xu Bai.

As for Xu Bai... if it weren't for that layer of white mist, he could have killed both of them by himself.

Therefore, the gravedigger knew he couldn't take action. If he killed Wen Si, and Bai Wu was eliminated, Xu Bai would be invincible here.

Thinking of this, he silently put down the shovel and returned to the Bronze Coffin, maintaining his previous posture.

An invisible force related to the gravedigger profession is gradually eroding the Bronze Coffin. There can't be only one way to break the deadlock, and the gravedigger thinks that this stalemate is actually beneficial to him.

His goal was to use the trade's secret techniques to fuse the corpse in the coffin, so that he could act without restraint.

So the current stalemate seems to be better for him.

Wen Si also saw through the gravedigger's thoughts.

She gritted her teeth and finally lifted her foot to walk towards the huge coffin.

The gravedigger became alert, raised his shovel, and prepared to attack if Wen Si tried to approach.

Wen Si stopped, her face grim.

She never expected things to turn out this way.

But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the space.

"Wait, that's not right, I can kill you now!" Xu Bai slapped his forehead and said.

Wen Si and the gravedigger turned their heads at the same time, staring intently at Xu Bai.

Who should be killed? Him or her?

Xu Bai weighed the Black Saber Hundred Rends in his hand, pointed it at the gravedigger, and said, "It seems you have no way to deal with me now, do you?"

The gravedigger's expression froze, and he suddenly looked at Wen Si, saying, "If you help me, I'll let you refine the corpse."

Wen Si remained silent, implying that he could refine faster without Wen Si's presence.

A chilling killing intent suddenly appeared, echoing throughout the space. The gravedigger knew that this was Xu Bai's killing intent.

"They're serious!"

He knew that killing him would be easy for the other party. This distance was nothing more than a tiny distance for the weapon in Xu Bai's hand, and it could be covered in an instant. Xu Bai wouldn't even need to step into it himself.

A hint of sorrow flashed in the gravedigger's eyes, which then turned into a fierce expression.

He turned his head and saw Xu Bai preparing to swing his knife.

The next moment, he exerted force with both legs, transforming into a shooting star, and crashed straight into the Bronze Coffin.

"If we're going to die, we'll die together!"

"No one will survive!"

"With my blood, I will awaken the leader of the Red Wood Tribe. The strange creature transformed from a first-grade master will surely Half-Step Transcendent."

"Since you're all going to die, then you'd all die!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The gravedigger, his head covered in blood, laughed loudly beside the Bronze Coffin, his eyes filled with madness.

When a person is on the verge of death, he may retreat, or he may fight desperately and risk his life.

At first, the gravedigger thought that this balance would not be easily broken and still held a sliver of hope, but when Xu Bai revealed that terrifying killing intent, he knew that he had no more illusions.

The Blood Slaughtering Saber Wielder is a legendary figure in the martial arts world. He is decisive and ruthless, never hesitating once he sets his sights on someone.

The gravedigger knew he couldn't survive, but he wanted to take two of his men down with him before he died.

The situation happened so fast that Wen Si didn't react for a long time. When she finally came to her senses, she turned around and glared at Xu Bai.

"You did this on purpose!"

"You want to see if he has any other tricks up his sleeve when you keep pressing him."

"You didn't really mean to kill him just now!"

A series of questions left the gravedigger stunned.

The gravedigger was covered in blood and didn't understand what had happened; he only knew that he looked like a clown.

Intentional? A lie? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Blood Slaughtering Saber Wielder's reputation in the martial arts world is that he kills without hesitation.

Xu Bai smiled faintly, "I didn't know he was so timid."

He didn't really intend to make a move just now; he just wanted to scare the gravedigger. Even if he used his Black Saber Hundred Rends, he could reach him in an instant.

But Wen Si was also nearby. If he were to be attacked by the white mist while wielding his sword, it would be a bad deal. His Fourth-Rank Puppet had already been corrupted by the white mist, and he didn't want to lose another weapon.

He said those things just now only to scare the gravedigger and see if he could make the two of them fight each other. But he didn't expect the gravedigger to so decisively crash into the Bronze Coffin.

You can't blame him for this, right? It's your own mindset that's the problem; it has nothing to do with him.

Upon hearing this, the gravedigger was on the verge of a breakdown, screaming in a frenzy, "You treacherous villain, I'm going to kill you!"

After all that, it turned out to be just a bluff. But now he had nowhere to go. Looking back at the bloodstains on the Bronze Coffin, the gravedigger revealed a miserable smile.

"It's over, it's over, we're all going to die here, nobody's going to escape."

"The dried corpse that has absorbed blood has transformed into a true monster, and the next moment it will be at the Half-Step Transcendent Realm."

"It's all over, you're all gone."

The more he talked, the deeper the despair on the gravedigger's face became. Finally, he simply sat down on the ground, his face ashen.

—Opening.

"Half-Step Transcendent, what does that mean?" Xu Bai frowned.

Hearing the gravedigger's statement, he felt something was amiss, as if something was wrong.

"Young master, that's Above First Rank. If it's the Transcendent Realm, then it's beyond ordinary experts. The ability to fly is their mark," Ye Zi explained.

Above First Rank? Xu Bai was slightly surprised; this was the first time he had ever heard of such a realm.

Looking at the hopeless gravedigger in front of him, Xu Bai stroked his chin, about to speak.

Unexpectedly, there were others even faster than him.

Wen Si said decisively, "Xu Bai, you've won this time, but I'll remember this grudge and get my revenge."

"I'm not playing with you anymore."

With that, Wen Si rolled her eyes back and collapsed to the ground, dead.

Xu Bai: "_"

Seriously? You just heard the words "Transcendental Transformation" and ran away? Is it really that scary?

Thinking of this, Xu Bai looked at the gravedigger and said.

"Quickly tell me what you know. The situation is so urgent, you don't want to die, do you?"

The gravedigger seemed not to hear him, sitting on the ground without saying a word, his eyes seemingly lifeless, filled with death and gloom.

Just then, the anomaly finally appeared.

In that enormous space, the huge coffin suddenly trembled, causing the entire space to shake slightly. A desolate aura flowed out from the cracks in the coffin, carrying terror and chill.

The gravedigger shuddered, startled by the chilling aura. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he rushed towards Xu Bai's location, shouting as he ran, "Don't block my way! Run if you don't want to die! The strangeness of Half-Step Transcendent cultivator is just suicide for both of us!"

The answer he received was not from Xu Bai, but from the enormous Bronze Coffin —or rather, not an answer at all.

The gravedigger, who was running towards Xu Bai, suddenly shuddered and then seemed to lose all his strength, collapsing to the ground. When he raised his head, his face was devoid of any life or spirit. The last trace of life disappeared, and he became a corpse.

This scene unfolded strangely and eerily, but Xu Bai did not sense anything unusual.

He only felt a cold wind blowing, that was all.

"It must be his blood that caused his violent death," Ye Zi guessed. "Young Master, shall we leave now?"

The difference in strength between experts at the Transcendent level cannot be bridged by those at the First Grade.

Even if it's just Half-Step Transcendent.

Ye Zi felt that it was better to leave first and then make plans slowly after becoming stronger.

Xu Bai stared at the enormous coffin without saying a word.

That sense of danger swept over him again, and this time he found his target: the enormous coffin.

He had originally planned to leave, but after seeing the golden progress bar on the coffin lid, he thought about it carefully and decided to stay.

Fortune favors the bold.

Xu Bai had already completed the first-grade progress bar once and had a rough estimate of the progress. The golden progress bar in front of him definitely indicated a first-grade skill.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai suddenly swung the Black Saber Hundred Rends in his hand.

The next moment, the Black Saber Hundred Rends exploded into countless fragments, which flew rapidly toward the huge coffin.

In the blink of an eye, the fragments lifted the coffin lid and flew towards Xu Bai at an even faster speed.

The moment the coffin lid was lifted, the chilling atmosphere intensified, and frost appeared in the space.

cold.

Physical cold.

"Walk!"

Xu Bai turned around, hugged Ye Zi, and ran quickly towards the exit of the passage. Under his control, the fragments were dragging the coffin lid behind him.

On the coffin lid, a golden progress bar gleamed.

Xu Bai used the Movement Break Fourth Cycle technique to its fullest extent, leaving only afterimages. A moment later, he carried Ye Zi out of the passage and crawled out of a coffin in another tomb chamber.

Xu Bai didn't stop, but instead hurried towards the final exit.

On the other side, the opened coffin was now emitting a chilling aura. The edges of the coffin and the ground were covered with a dense layer of white frost, which was emitting a cold air. If anyone were here, they would probably be frozen into an icicle in an instant.

Suddenly, a withered hand appeared from the edge of the coffin, gripping the edge tightly. The hand was dry and brittle, with grayish-white skin visible, making it look extremely terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, a dark shadow emerged from the coffin and landed on the ground.

The ground was no longer covered in frost, but in layers of ice.

This is a mummified corpse that is 2.5 meters tall, wearing tattered clothes and a necklace of animal teeth around its neck.

Those eyes were grayish-white, devoid of any emotion, containing only boundless killing intent.

The moment the mummified corpse appeared, the gravedigger's body was seen on the ground.

Its murderous eyes, filled with a thirst for flesh and blood, caused the mummified corpse to swiftly run to the gravedigger's body and lower its head...

Huffing and puffing...

A chilling sound rang out in the quiet space.

Moments later, only a skeleton remained on the ground, and the mummified corpse underwent a tremendous change.

The dried flesh gradually became plump, with layers of bulges under the grayish-white skin, as if someone had forcibly stuffed fillers inside.

In less than two breaths, the mummified corpse had transformed into a muscular man who was two and a half meters tall.

The man's face was expressionless, his eyes still grayish-white, filled with violence and coldness, and that boundless killing intent made the surrounding ice grow colder and colder.

"Roar!"

The man's voice, which did not belong to a human, came from his mouth, and his hair turned blood red.

An eerie aura emanated from the man, both frenzied and chilling.

Blood-haired figure suddenly turned his head and looked towards the exit, as if sensing something, and then walked in that direction.

Despite its large size, it covered more than ten meters with each step.

His feet kept crossing over, and the blood-red hair disappeared from the spot in a strange way.

At this moment, Xu Bai had already crawled out of the cave and returned to that wilderness.

But before he could even catch his breath, he heard a roar coming from inside the cave, along with a growing chill.

"So fast?" Xu Bai's expression darkened slightly.

Judging by this pace, the strange speed is even faster than his; he probably won't be able to escape tonight.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai looked at Ye Zi and said.

"Take this coffin lid and the bundle, find a secluded place to play, and assist me. Try not to get too close."

In a critical moment, Xu Bai wouldn't say things like "you go first." Instead, he would seize every resource around him. Ye Zi's combat strength wasn't high, but her playing the zither could provide assistance.

The other party is strange, lacking the consciousness of a living person, only knowing how to kill, and would not say anything like "attack the support personnel first".

Ye Zi wasn't the kind of woman who would dawdle. Of course, she understood the current situation. If they were too close, it would only distract the young master.

She nodded vigorously, then grabbed the coffin lid and the bundle, quickly found a secluded spot, and her hands emitted white light as she gently waved them.

The next moment, a melodious tune flowed from her fingertips, covering the wilderness.

Xu Bai drew the Black Saber Hundred Rends from his waist, turned around and stood ready. Fragments surrounded him, emitting a melodious sound that overlapped with Ye Zi's music. At this moment, his condition was improving at a visible speed.

Today, he absolutely must get the progress bar.

A violent tremor shook the ground. In an instant, cracks appeared at the entrance of the hole, the soil on the ground broke apart, and a tall figure emerged from it and landed on the ground.

Blood-haired man's face was eerie, gloomy, and cold. His gray-white eyes were fixed on Xu Bai, filled with boundless killing intent.

A being who has transcended mortality can roam the skies, but according to the gravedigger, this strange creature in front of him is at most Half-Step Transcendent.

At this moment, the strange creature did not display any signs of flying, proving that the Half-Step Transcendent correct.

"There's still more to do." Xu Bai licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

If the other party is a complete Transcendent Realm cultivator, Xu Bai will turn around and leave without the slightest hesitation, and he won't even want the golden progress bar.

But if it's just half a step... then we can give it a try.

So far, Xu Bai has only City Lord Huang of the Demon-Strange Entity Market. That City Lord Huang's strength is at the first rank, and at that time, Xu Bai was able to handle him with ease.

If it weren't for City Lord Huang's special abilities, Xu Bai wouldn't have even been able to let City Lord Huang hurt him.

So... what about the Half-Step Transcendent?

Xu Bai felt his lips were a little dry, but his fighting spirit was unparalleled.

A chilling killing intent emanated from Xu Bai, causing the surrounding air to stagnate slightly. His killing intent was no less than that of the strangely blood-haired man before him.

If any martial arts practitioners were to pass by at this moment, they would find that Xu Bai truly deserves the title of "Blood Slaughtering Saber Wielder."

Coldness, murderous intent, madness, and... an overwhelming fighting spirit.

Ye Zi, who was playing the piano in the distance, held her breath.

She could feel the fighting spirit emanating from the young master soaring to the heavens.

"With the ability of a third-grade cultivator to directly confront Half-Step Transcendent, there is probably no other person in this world who can do it."

Ye Zi muttered to herself.

Ordinary third-rank experts, let alone encountering such Half-Step Transcendent expert, would be terrified and lose all fighting spirit just by glancing at him.

But the young master is different. The young master wants to use his knife... to kill this Half-Step Transcendent! Thinking of this, Ye Zi exerted all her strength to unleash the energy within her body, pushing her to the limit of what she could.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, but Ye Zi didn't care at all. Although her face was pale, her eyes were as firm as sharp swords.

If the young master's fighting spirit is unparalleled, how could Ye Zi retreat even a step? Although she cannot defeat a mortal, she can still use a song to put the young master in his peak condition.

The music changed from melodious to urgent.

In this desolate wilderness, the music seemed to transform into a vast army, galloping across the battlefield.

Driven by Xu Bai's fighting spirit, Ye Zi suddenly broke through her limits.

Fourth rank... to third rank!

Even though Yin Fiber Tune could only reach the fourth rank at most, Ye Zi, with the help of Xu Bai's fighting spirit, comprehended the next level.

"This piece is called... Unmatched in Battle!"

The interlude of thousands of troops suddenly paused, turning into countless screams and roars.

Xu Bai, who was in the wilderness, naturally sensed Ye Zi's changes. At this moment, under Ye Zi's influence, he was already at the peak of his limit.

With a gentle swing of the Black Saber Hundred Rends, all the fragments emitted melodious sounds, their murderous intent palpable beneath the aura and dark light.

Xu Bai stretched out his hand, beckoned his finger strangely to the blood-red hair, and uttered a single word.

"Come!"

"Roar!"

Blood-haired monster roared eerily to the sky, turning into a blur as it pounced on Xu Bai. Wherever it passed, layers of ice appeared on the ground, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky for no apparent reason.

Xu Bai stood with his sword drawn, and upon hearing the command, the fragments hovered and gathered in mid-air, forming a broken blade.

The Chess Saber Five Styles!

The broken blade pierced straight in, then suddenly exploded, transforming into a sky full of starlight, striking the blood-red hair eerily.

Armor penetration, severe injury...

With the enhancement of various attributes from the cultivation technique, the fragments left terrifying wounds on the blood-haired monster's body, with some fragments even piercing through directly.

"Roar!"

The Blood-Haired Monster had no consciousness and no sense of pain. It roared and came close to Xu Bai Xu Bai, raising its right hand to grab at him.

The enormous body, with its hand moving downwards, exudes a mountain-like oppressive force.

Xu Bai did not retreat, nor did he use the Movement Break Fourth Cycle, because his opponent's speed was superior to his.

With a flick of his left hand, he met the hand that was strangely swinging down from the blood-haired man. The next moment, Xu Bai felt a terrifying force coming towards him, not only that, but it also carried a chilling aura.

My palms started to freeze, and the ice gradually spread down my arms.

Xu Bai remained completely calm, his eyes as still as a frozen lake in winter, undisturbed by the slightest ripple.

Shifting Flowers... Grafting Trees! The eighth-level Grafting Flowers onto Trees technique can transfer attacks of the second rank and below, and can even be used to counterattack.

However, the opponent is a strange being at the Half-Step Transcendent, and it seems that the level is not high enough at present, but it doesn't matter. For Xu Bai, it is already enough.

Only a portion needs to be transferred.

The ice on his hands disappeared, leaving only a thin layer of white frost, while a thick layer of ice formed where Xu Bai stood.

The blood-red hair didn't stop; it opened its other hand, seemingly wanting to pull Xu Bai into its arms.

The surrounding area was covered in cold frost, and the wilderness was covered in snow and ice, with even heavy snow falling from the sky.

"Is this what Half-Step Transcendent is? It can even trigger celestial phenomena." Xu Bai thought to himself, "After this battle, I'll have to ask Ye Zi more about his subsequent realm. It seems that this Transcendent Realm is not just about being able to fly."

He certainly wouldn't let the other party catch him; he knew very well what the consequences would be if he were caught.

Xu Bai took a deep breath and began to retreat rapidly, intending to use the Chess Saber Five Styles once again.

But to his utter surprise, the blood-haired creature suddenly grabbed his hand, preventing him from pulling away.

This move effectively shut down Xu Bai's escape route.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.

The strangeness of being unconscious, yet still retaining the fighting instincts from before death.

very good.

But... I'm a ruthless person.

Fragments flew everywhere, and an arm flew up and landed on the ground.

Xu Bai retreated swiftly amidst the heavy snow, standing with his sword in hand.

His left hand was empty, but in the next moment, under the surge of True Yuan Power, a new arm gradually grew out.

Undying Body (Fragment)!

Kidney-strengthening collection method! "Awesome!"

Xu Bai looked up and roared.

Since entering this circle, I've never had such a satisfying fight.

Xu Bai showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he became increasingly excited, frantically squeezing out the True Yuan Power from his kidneys.

Even the unwitting, unconscious creature paused for a moment.

If it were still conscious, it would surely say, "Are all young people these days this strong?"

But as was destined, the blood-red hair surged forth again in a bizarre manner.

Xu Bai stared at the blood-stained, eerie body, which had many wounds.

He himself was injured in this confrontation, but that doesn't mean the monster in front of him was unharmed. If it were someone else here, they would definitely not be able to break through its defenses.

But Xu Bai is different.

He has Chess Saber Five Styles, and he has a mental cultivation method with an exceptionally long name.

Yes, it is indeed very long.

He also has the Grafting Flowers onto Trees, and he has Undying Body!

Now, Xu Bai has come up with an excellent method.

This method is particularly crazy.

—Trading injury for injury! First of all, this blood-red creature is strange; it seems there's no way to heal it.

Secondly, he has a way to recover.

It's that simple.

To have versus not have.

Using the Grafting Flowers onto Trees" in conjunction with the Vajra Heart Demon Body can minimize one's injuries, eliminating the need to endure the pain unnecessarily.

The mental techniques and the Chess Saber Five Styles can inflict damage on the opponent.

The Undying Body allows for maximum recovery from injuries, enabling the user to maintain peak condition.

In addition, the Strengthening Kidney Gathering Art stores reserve True Yuan Power, which can be continuously absorbed and replenished from the surrounding environment.

Ye Zi's music broke through to the third rank, and when combined with the music of her own mental cultivation technique, it allowed these skills to reach their most perfect state.

Do it! We have to do it! Xu Bai took a deep breath, and then, he transformed into a blur and charged toward the blood-haired monster.

Guided by the surrounding fragments, they transformed into streaks of starlight that surged and roared, sweeping across everything around them.

Blood Hair emitted a terrifying roar, the surrounding cold air grew even thicker, and the snowflakes in the sky fell like a sudden downpour.

The surrounding wilderness was reduced to desolation under their attacks.

The fragment pierced through the Blood-Haired Monster, which tore a piece of flesh from Xu Bai's body. The fragment pierced through the Blood-Haired Monster again, leaving another terrifying wound on Xu Bai's body.

Xu Bai frantically channeled his inner True Yuan Power to heal his injuries.

At this moment, in this desolate region, a breathtaking battle is taking place.

Ye Zi watched from afar as the two figures fought each other like madmen, and her heart began to ache.

Everyone thought that Blood Slaughtering Saber Wielder was favored by His Majesty the Emperor and would surely rise to prominence, but they didn't know that this was something the young master had fought for.

"I'm afraid the world's young geniuses don't even have the qualifications to participate in this battle," Ye Zi thought with heartache.

She was heartbroken to see her young master covered in bloody wounds.

Her jade-like fingers moved faster, and the music became even faster.

On the desolate outskirts.

The battle was extremely fierce, with both sides bearing horrific injuries. However, if an ordinary martial artist were to pass by and step into this area, he would be torn to shreds by the residual force of their attacks.

"Come!"

"Readily!"

The excitement in Xu Bai's eyes had reached its peak, even carrying a hint of madness.

Besides the skills mentioned earlier, all of his skills have now been pushed to their limits.

He kept slashing, one cut after another, completely ignoring his own injuries.

The one with the bloody hair was even more gruesome than him.

Those wounds didn't heal as quickly as Xu Bai's. Although they were healing, they ultimately didn't have Xu Bai's specialized skills.

Xu Bai felt an immense sense of exhilaration throughout his body from this battle.

He had never fought so exhilaratingly.

Under the night sky, in the desolate wilderness, the roar continued, the murderous aura and the cold ice intertwined, even scattering the dark clouds in the sky.

Time seemed to stand still, but here it lingered on.

Only when a faint glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon did the sounds of battle gradually fade away in the desolate wilderness.

Xu Bai, panting heavily, stared at the blood-stained ground with a strange look, his eyes still burning with unwavering madness.

We won!

He had almost completely depleted his internal True Yuan Power, but he still won.

Xu Bai, a third-rank warrior, defeats Half-Step Transcendent!

"Young master."

Ye Zi, carrying the coffin lid and the bundle, stumbled over and quickly buoyed Xu Bai.

At this moment, Xu Bai noticed that Ye Zi's ten fingers were bleeding profusely, and there was also blood on the corner of her mouth.

Even a third-rank Strange Musician, after playing all night, was exhausted and only managed to persevere thanks to a strong belief.

"You've worked hard," Xu Bai said, patting Ye Zi's head.

Today's battle would not have been so easy without Ye Zi's assistance.

Ye Zi shook her head, indicating that she was not tired, and said, "Young Master is unparalleled. You killed Half-Step Transcendent with only a third-rank skill. The most dazzling young generation in this world is not even half as good as you."

As expected of Ye Zi, she always manages to win Xu Bai's favor at crucial moments.

Xu Bai laughed heartily, pinched Ye Zi's cheek, and said, "Find a place to hide and let me recover."

Ye Zi was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "Young master, aren't you going back to the inn to rest?"

Xu Bai shook his head, his gaze fixed on the faintly brightening sky in the distance, his tone carrying a profound meaning.

"There's still one guy I need to deal with. He's the one who threatened me. I won't let him get away with it."
