Instant Kill on Showing His Face

Bai Ze sat upright atop the clouds, chin propped on his hand as he gazed toward the horizon and waited patiently.

Before long, a streak of light flashed across the sky, descended, and revealed a figure.

The man wore a gray robe. His eyes were sinister, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and an odd aura of gentleness and cold gloom emanated from his entire body.

The man glanced in Bai Ze's direction, narrowing his eyes as though plotting something.

Only after Guang Chengzi and Duobao blocked his line of sight did the man restrain himself somewhat and smile faintly.

Guang Chengzi nodded expressionlessly, considering it a greeting.

Duobao, however, looked upon the man with utter disdain. Folding his arms, he said:

"Being so old and still snatching opportunities from us juniors—aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

The man looked at Duobao, his gaze turning slightly cold. "Treasures belong to the capable. This poor Daoist observed the celestial signs last night; the item here is fated to be mine!"

Duobao glared back without yielding, curled his lip disdainfully, then turned and spoke loudly to Bai Ze.

"Little brother, this old fossil is Jieyin Daoist, lackey of the Western Chaos Demon God Luohu.

"This man is sinister and cunning, and he loves bullying the young with his seniority. Be extremely careful."

Bai Ze was slightly startled. Zhunti Daoist? One of the future Two Saints of the West, the future Amitabha of Buddhism?

He looked like this?

Thinking of the kind-faced, gentle, and refined portraits he had seen in his previous life, then looking at the man before him—with his sinister eyes and coldly sharp lips—he looked nothing like a good person. This was actually Jieyin Daoist?

Bai Ze turned his head and glanced at him. Jieyin Daoist immediately revealed a benevolent smile.

"Young friend, I see that your blessings stretch on without end, and you share a profound affinity with my Western lands. When you have the time, why not come to Mount Sumeru for a visit?"

The moment he heard those familiar words, Bai Ze's heart jolted. He instantly became certain that this fellow was Jieyin Daoist, the one who loved ferrying people across!

He was also the mastermind who would later turn Duobao and Guang Chengzi against each other!

Seeing the ill-intentioned look in Jieyin Daoist's eyes, Bai Ze felt an intense sense of danger surge within him!

This bastard wanted to mess with him!

Looking at Jieyin's smiling expression, Bai Ze made up his mind.

With Guang Chengzi and Duobao here, he would not act. But once they were no longer at Bai Ze's side, he would definitely make his move!

Since that was the case, it would be better to strike first and kill the bastard!

Nip danger in the bud!

He immediately ducked behind Duobao and Guang Chengzi and shouted:

"Senior brother, Dao brother, this man wants to harm me! Quickly ask the Heavenly Venerable to suppress this scoundrel!"

Jieyin Daoist froze. When had he ever said that?

They had only just met, and Bai Ze was already throwing mud at him. Did they have some grudge?

"Young friend, how can you slander this poor Daoist out of thin air? This poor Daoist merely cherishes talent and kindly invited you to visit our Western lands!"

Bai Ze sneered. Cherishes talent? Did he take him for a fool? If he fucking went, would he ever come back?

He immediately looked at Guang Chengzi and Duobao. "Senior brother, Dao brother, this fellow has finally shown his dagger when the map ran out! He wants to abduct me!"

Duobao and Guang Chengzi knew Jieyin Daoist's character well. The moment they heard him invite Bai Ze to the West, they stepped before Bai Ze, took out their magic treasures, and coldly watched Jieyin Daoist.

"Rest easy, junior brother. With us here, he will not be able to harm a single hair on your head!"

Jieyin Daoist looked at the three Innate Spirit Treasures circling Guang Chengzi, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.

The Three Pure Ones truly were generous. After all these years, neither he nor Luohu had obtained even a single high-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, yet Guang Chengzi possessed three!

He glanced at Bai Ze. "Young friend, do not speak nonsense. You and I have never met before. Why would I harm you?"

Bai Ze immediately put on a terrified expression and shouted:

"Dao brother, he has already begun threatening me! Once you are no longer by my side, won't he swallow me alive and skin me alive?

"Dao brother, senior brother, hurry! Hurry and kill him!"

Guang Chengzi hesitated slightly. Though Jieyin Daoist's evil reputation was widespread, he should not be so blatant.

Especially since Bai Ze, who had always disliked conflict, had become so abnormal the moment he heard Jieyin's name.

But on second thought, Bai Ze was born able to sense fortune and calamity. He must have sensed something!

Otherwise, he would not have lost his composure like this!

Since that was so... it would be better to strike now and eliminate some unstable factors!

Guang Chengzi narrowed his eyes, and a flash of cold light burst forth.

The next instant, the Heaven-Flipping Seal, Violet-Gold Hammer, and Fishing Drum flew out together and smashed toward Jieyin Daoist.

In an instant, the terrifying pressure sent the wandering cultivators retreating farther and farther away.

Seeing that terrifying might, Jieyin Daoist immediately produced a mirror-shaped magic treasure to meet the attack, frowning as he said:

"Young friend, you and I bear no grudges against each other. Why must we fight so fiercely?"

Duobao gave a scornful laugh and cursed outright. "Old fossil, not making a move now does not mean you will not make one later!

"Since you covet our junior brother, then go die for this Daoist!"

Guang Chengzi remained silent, not uttering a word, but the spiritual power poured into his magic treasures suddenly surged!

Jieyin Daoist began to feel the pressure as well, his brows repeatedly furrowing, though his lips still mocked them.

"Young friend, with the gap between our realms, let alone three treasures—even thirty would be unable to make up the difference."

Guang Chengzi sneered. "Is that so?"

He then tossed the Violet-Gold Hammer to Duobao. "Junior brother, together!"

Duobao, who had been waiting at the side, immediately lit up at the sight of the Violet-Gold Hammer. He caught it in one grab. "Good!"

The two of them then cast their techniques together, and the power of the magic treasures instantly soared!

Jieyin Daoist's brows knitted tightly. Even as someone in the Tracing Origin realm, he felt no small amount of pressure.

Looking at the cracks that had appeared on his magic treasure, Jieyin Daoist's gaze gradually turned cold and severe.

He suddenly withdrew one hand and struck a palm toward Bai Ze, who was watching from the side.

Guang Chengzi and Duobao hurriedly recalled their magic treasures to protect Bai Ze. Jieyin Daoist took the opportunity to retrieve his own magic treasure and vanished from where he stood.

Only one sentence remained behind: "Boy, this poor Daoist will remember you!"

Bai Ze frowned at those words. What a pity!

He had used his Insight Divine Ability just now and discovered that Jieyin Daoist's cultivation was not outrageously powerful at present.

Unfortunately, they had still failed to keep him here!

"Junior brother—little brother—are you alright?" Guang Chengzi did not pursue the fleeing Jieyin Daoist, instead turning to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze shook his head. "Jieyin Daoist's strike just now was only a feint. He did not injure me."

Duobao immediately revealed a faint smile. "It is good that you are unharmed."

Guang Chengzi was still somewhat puzzled. "Junior brother, why were you so determined to kill him? Did you sense something just now?"

Bai Ze frowned slightly. Knowing the future was his greatest secret, and naturally he could not reveal it. He could only nod and admit it.

"That is right. My innate divine ability deduced that, on this journey south, Jieyin Daoist will be our greatest obstacle!"

Guang Chengzi frowned. "Junior brother Bai Ze, are you certain?"

Bai Ze nodded.

"You wait here. I will pursue him!" With that, Guang Chengzi was about to give chase.

Bai Ze hurriedly stopped him and sighed.

"Dao brother, do not pursue a cornered foe!

"This time, we gained the advantage by catching him unprepared. But after this, once that fellow is on guard, he will not be easy to kill."

Guang Chengzi pondered for a moment after hearing this. "Junior brother Bai Ze speaks reasonably. But Jieyin has set his sights on you this time. You may be in danger from now on."
