The Chu Emperor Returns to the Human World
The attack came head-on.
Xu Bai knew that he had no way to avoid the attack at this moment, and he also knew that it was impossible to destroy the soul in such a short time.
Because before it could be completely destroyed, it would be hit by an attack, and then there would be nothing left.
So, seeing the attack coming straight at him, he suddenly had another idea.
The attack was concentrated into a single point and did not disperse. As long as I didn't get hit, I would be fine. Since I couldn't dodge it now, I would use the simplest and most direct method.
Xu Bai's outstretched hand was enveloped in intense white light, but instead of targeting the group of enemies, he slid it directly down from his own head.
The next moment, starting from his head, it pulled him downwards continuously, and half of his body turned into nothingness.
Pain! It hurt so much! The pain made him tremble all over! Although it was not as intense as the pain in his soul, the agony of having half his body shattered still surged like a tide, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
But he knew he had succeeded this time.
That tiny ray of light contained immense power, but it did not have a wide-area attack.
In other words, all he had to do was dodge, and the fact that half of his body was broken created a blank area.
The destructive light pierced through the crack and disappeared into the distance.
The entire room fell silent.
Hun Feng was completely stunned, standing frozen in place.
"Is this even possible?"
The other Saintly Beings all wore the same expression; they truly hadn't expected that Xu Bai would use such a self-destructive method to survive the attack.
"This person truly has a unique way of thinking!"
Even as enemies, they felt that Xu Bai's actions were incredibly skillful.
In fact, not only them, but even Xu Bai thought his actions were bizarre.
But it doesn't matter, as long as we succeed, who cares if it's weird or not?
With the powerful flow of True Yuan Power, Xu Bai's half of his body returned to normal in just a moment.
He gave the other party no time to catch his breath, quickly focusing all his energy on his soul.
The next moment, True Yuan Power surged, and the soul was being rapidly destroyed.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Intense pain struck, but Xu Bai burst into laughter, roaring and laughing in agony.
"How could you have thought of concentrating your efforts on one point? Now that I'm alive, you're all going to die!"
If his opponent hadn't used this concentrated attack to try and kill him instantly, but instead used an area-of-effect attack, he probably wouldn't have been able to dodge it. But unfortunately, things just happened to be that way, and he was ruthless enough to blast half of his body to pieces.
"Boom!"
As Xu Bai finished speaking the last word, his soul was finally completely annihilated. At the same time, gray-white and golden Heavenly Change appeared in the surrounding void, constantly intertwining.
The intertwined Heavenly Change rose around him, and one of his eyes turned gold, while the other turned grayish-white.
At this moment, there was no emotion in his eyes, only a calmness, as calm as a lake.
"Oh no! Run!"
Even though the Hun Feng that possessed the body of the Chu Emperor already had the strength to Exiting Sainthood, it still turned around and ran away without saying a word, just like Xu Bai was now a raging flood.
They ran very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had disappeared into the horizon.
The other strange beings that entered the realm of sainthood did not hesitate either, only slowing down slightly, before disappearing into the horizon as well.
They all knew that Xu Bai in this state was terrifying and beyond their ability to deal with; preserving their lives was the priority.
One of the creatures, seemingly possessed by a divine being, instinctively turned its head, then its face froze, as if it were a block of wood.
Xu Bai Xu Bai nowhere to be seen in his original spot; the place was empty, with nothing left.
"Boom!"
Before he could react, he heard a loud noise from ahead. When he turned around, he saw that Hun Feng was tattered and bleeding from his mouth.
Xu Bai stood in the middle of the road, his body a mixture of gold and grayish-white, making him appear both mysterious and terrifying.
"Run!"
Even though he was Exiting Sainthood, he still had the strength to speak, even after being severely injured in one move.
As he shouted the word "run," he grabbed a Saintly Ghost and threw it toward Xu Bai's position.
"You son of a bitch!"
At that moment, the sage thought of many things to say and wanted to curse, but the words stopped before he could finish speaking.
Before he could say those words, Xu Bai grabbed his neck.
"Please let me go, I beg you! I'm willing to be your slave, I'll do anything you want, just let me go!"
No one would complain about living too long. Even these old fogies are terrified of death. At this moment, dignity is no longer important. He just wants to live and beg for mercy.
Unfortunately, Xu Bai in this state is not someone you can communicate with.
The gold and grayish-white liquids penetrated directly into the body of the Holy Mysterious Being, causing it to tremble violently and gradually stiffen.
The next second, the strange creature, having entered the realm of the Saints, was powerless to resist and turned into ashes.
"Stop him! I will plead with the Supreme Saint to revive you!" Hun Feng trembled upon seeing this and shouted hastily.
But at this point, nobody paid any attention to him. As for the so-called resurrection, they didn't care at all; they were just happy to be able to escape.
All the sages and demons began to flee, but before they could run a few steps, Xu Bai raised his palm and gently pressed down.
The Heavenly Change, a mixture of gold and gray, sealed off the surroundings, and in an instant, all the strange creatures present were rendered immobile.
Including Hun Feng, they all had only one thought in their minds.
"It's over!"
No one can escape! In his special state, Xu Bai tilted his head, staring directly at the group of strange beings, and then took a step forward.
Centered on him, the Heavenly Change, a mixture of gold and gray, created a terrifying frenzy.
The eerie creature closest to his center suddenly screamed in pain.
The shouting seemed contagious, gradually spreading.
In the blink of an eye, all the strange creatures present, except for those sealed by the Hun Feng, began to wail in agony.
The wailing didn't last long before they turned to ashes in agony.
When Hun Feng saw this scene, he was completely stunned, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.
"Spare me! Spare me!"
He was also afraid. He didn't know if the Supreme Saint would resurrect him if he really died, since the Supreme Saint had only given him some verbal promises.
Xu Bai didn't make a move, but stared at him with that calm gaze, which made him even more afraid.
At this moment, a flash of light suddenly appeared in Hun Feng's mind, and then, as if remembering something, he shouted loudly.
"You're worried about the Chu Emperor, aren't you! Yes, let me go. After you let me go, I'll return him to you. If you kill me, he'll die too!"
It was as if he were in water, grasping at the last straw, and Hun Feng spoke rapidly.
At this moment, all talk of dignity is meaningless. To hell with dignity, survival is the most important thing.
Hun Feng Xu Bai was still tilting his head and looking around, Hun Feng knew that even if Xu Bai's consciousness was blurred, he still wouldn't harm the Chu Emperor, so he quickly added more fuel to the fire.
"Lord Xu! I am willing to serve you faithfully, to be devoted to you without reservation!"
This time, the answer he received was a pain that seemed to rip out of his very soul.
The Heavenly Change, a blend of gold and gray, penetrated directly into Hun Feng's head. Hun Feng felt his soul being peeled away bit by bit.
"You want to tear me apart! No, please don't do this! I don't want to die!"
Hun Feng let out a painful scream; he tried to struggle, but he was powerless to do so.
From his perspective, he was being pulled from the Chu Emperor's body like threads, and in the blink of an eye, he was completely stripped away.
He could already foresee the moment of his death.
He saw Xu Bai's golden and grayish-white eyes, still so calm, like the surface of a deep lake.
"Boom!"
Gradually, Hunfeng felt his consciousness blurring, his whole body was ice-cold, and his soul turned into dust and debris filling the sky.
The Chu Emperor's eyes became empty again, as if they were made of wood, and he turned his head to stare fixedly at Xu Bai.
At this moment, the gold and grayish-white light behind Xu Bai intertwined and entered the Chu Emperor's brow.
In an instant, the Chu Emperor's previously empty gaze gradually returned to normal, and his consciousness was returning.
"Xu... Bai..."
A flood of memories surged from nowhere; these memories were all from when he entered the Ghost Market. He found himself still in the dark red environment, and had not left the Ghost Market.
"You killed all the sanctified monsters!"
"If you're not Xu Bai, then who are you?"
The Chu Emperor became serious. He felt that the person in front of him was very unfamiliar. Although he looked like Xu Bai, his temperament and eyes made him feel distant.
Xu Bai didn't answer him. After grabbing him, he walked directly in one direction.
He was very fast, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
The Chu Emperor didn't feel anything was wrong with being led around by Xu Bai.
What he was more curious about now was Xu Bai's current state, because in this state, he was able to kill so many Saints in succession, which was really too strong.
In his current state, Xu Bai didn't answer him, but instead took him away to a city.
As soon as they landed in the city, countless strange things began to emerge.
These strange entities were all powerful ones, either city lords or beings from deep in the mountains and forests, yet they all wore expressions of fear.
Xu Bai did not attack these strange creatures, but instead reached out and beckoned, and one of them flew over directly.
Xu Bai took out a token from his mysterious waist, and then he took the Chu Emperor and flew to another place.
However, before it flew over, the gold and gray-white colors disappeared into the bodies of these strange creatures, rendering them unable to move.
Xu Bai moved very quickly, and soon arrived at the location of a circular pattern.
The Chu Emperor frowned upon seeing the circular pattern. "Do you wish to leave?"
Xu Bai did not answer him, but instead tossed the Chu Emperor onto the circular pattern with his hand, and then activated the token.
The next moment, the circular pattern emitted a hazy light, enveloping the Chu Emperor Chu Emperor, who then vanished in an instant.
This time, Xu Bai did not follow. After the light on the circular pattern disappeared, the gold and gray-white in his eyes gradually faded and returned to normal.
"Did I escape?" Xu Bai regained consciousness, scratched his head, and was confused about the current situation.
But he didn't think much of it, because he didn't have that memory and couldn't understand it anyway.
"In short, it should be safe, and..." Xu Bai turned his head, his gaze returning to the direction he had come from, the place where those powerful and strange beings resided.
For some reason, he could sense that there were many things he needed there, and it seemed that he could take them as he pleased.
None of that matters. What matters is that Xu Bai feels like he's struck it rich.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai rubbed his hands together and hurried towards that place.
world.
The Imperial Palace of the Great Chu Kingdom.
Chief Mu summoned all those who had entered sainthood once again, and this time, one person was among them.
—The Female Daoist Abbot.
The Female Daoist Abbot was still dressed in a very indifferent manner, looking extremely otherworldly, like a fairy who did not belong to the human world.
"Everyone is here. It hasn't been long since Xu Bai went in, but we need to hurry up here."
Chief Mu looked around and slowly said, "This time, it will be a tough battle. Although the number of people on the other side who have reached the Saint level is not as high as ours, we must still be careful, after all, the other side has completely betrayed this world."
"We are still one position away from completing the Sainthood process. My suggestion is to put everything else aside for now and wait here. As soon as Xu Bai returns, we will be able to get the news and make adjustments."
The group exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
Nothing is more important than eliminating the Ghost Market right now. Although they have an absolute advantage, the fact that the other side has allied themselves with the Supreme Saint makes them have to be careful.
If they win this battle, they will face an even stronger enemy, but at least they will have a glimmer of hope. If they lose, they will have nothing left.
Chief Mu waved his hand again, unfolded the map, and began to explain some important details once more.
This is something he came up with later, and whenever he thought of it, he would discuss and supplement it with them.
To ensure that nothing goes wrong, they must go through these things; otherwise, even the slightest mistake could lead to complete failure.
But at that moment, a powerful aura suddenly appeared, causing everyone present to stand up and look in a certain direction.
Everyone's face showed undisguised shock, even the Exiting Sainthood Chief Mu had the same expression.
At their level, they can easily sense the subtle details, which is why they felt so astonished.
Disbelief crossed Chief Mu's eyes as he muttered to himself, "He actually... came back!"
Eunuch Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "Gentlemen, please follow me to welcome the Chu Emperor back to the mortal realm."
