Bai Gongjun himself hadn't expected that he would be forced to this extent when facing someone who hadn't even reached the God Emperor Realm. He even had to use his trump card, the escape technique!
Bai Gongjun, now bearing that terrifying-looking body, gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Hei, saying, "I underestimated you. I'll come back for you after I recover!"
After saying that, Bai Gongjun's body disappeared from the spot.
Mu Fusheng originally wanted to take action to completely eliminate Bai Gongjun and prevent any future troubles. However, there were probably many other people from other Divine Lord forces present, so he could only hold back for now.
Meanwhile, the battle between Song Xiao and Shen Chongyuan was not yet over.
However, seeing Bai Gongjun defeated, Shen Chongyuan had already begun to consider retreating.
But Song Xiao, that madman, had no intention of letting him leave! Every punch and kick he threw was incredibly fast, and whenever Shen Chongyuan tried to retreat, Song Xiao's attacks would come right back!
"Want to leave?" As if seeing through Shen Chongyuan's intentions, Song Xiao grinned. "How can you just fight and leave whenever you want? Since we've already started fighting, we should fight to the bitter end and settle the score."
Shen Chongyuan's face darkened. He said, " Song Xiao, are you really going to make us our sworn enemy because of him?"
"Do you really think this kind of exchange of benefits is worth it? What can he actually bring you?"
Song Xiao smiled and said, "As I said, the Hao Tian Divine Sect is not afraid of any force. Moreover, this is a decision made by the higher-ups, and it's not something I can change. All I have to do is follow the orders of the Divine Lord... Besides, it's definitely more comfortable to be around them than to be around you bunch of hypocritical cowards."
Upon hearing this, Shen Chongyuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a sneer, "Hmph, since when did the Hao Tian Divine Sect become dogs for a bunch of juniors?"
Song Xiao smiled, but the smile was filled with coldness.
"Your words alone give me a reason to kill you."
"You?"
"Certainly."
"Let's save that for next time." Shen Chongyuan's spear began to tremble, then transformed into a streak of light and shot into the distance! Shen Chongyuan, still gripping the spear shaft, vanished from his spot with a "whoosh."
Song Xiao was not surprised by this scene.
After all, they are all hidden geniuses from various Divine Lord- level forces, and their strength is at a comparable level.
If a fight were to break out, there might be slight differences in skill levels. However, if the opponent wanted to escape, there would be no way to stop them.
On the other side, Xiao Hei's ferocity erupted completely!
It reached a point where it could no longer be suppressed by ordinary means.
Xiao Hei's eyes were bloodshot as it relentlessly bombarded the surrounding ground.
"This won't do," Hong Ying said, seeing this scene. "It seems we need constant battles to slowly digest this resentment."
Suddenly, Ning Chenxin smiled and stepped forward. "Why don't you let me give it a try?"
Seeing this, Hong Ying said nothing and stepped back.
All eyes were on Ning Chenxin.
Ning Chenxin slowly walked up to Xiao Hei.
Ning Chenxin's figure gradually came into Xiao Hei's view. Immediately, without any hesitation, Xiao Hei roared at Ning Chenxin!
Filled with overwhelming bloodlust, Xiao Hei clenched his fist and punched towards Ning Chenxin, his aura extremely terrifying!
Ning Chenxin did not back down; a book appeared in his hand.
A gentle breeze blew, turning a few pages of the book.
"If the heart is pure as ice, one will not be alarmed even if the sky collapses; if one remains calm amidst all changes, one will be serene and composed." Ning Chenxin said calmly.
A gentle breeze began to swirl and drift towards Xiao Hei!
The seemingly gentle breeze actually brought Xiao Hei to a halt as it charged forward!
Those wisps of wind seemed to be dragging down every part of Xiao Hei's body.
Everyone was slightly taken aback by what they saw.
Song Xiao frowned. Even if he used his full strength, he would probably be forced back by Xiao Hei's punch.
However, this scholar-like Ning Chenxin, who appeared to have no aura and seemed utterly unremarkable, managed to stop Xiao Hei's body with just two sentences.
Xiao Hei was unwilling to accept defeat. His bloodlust surged continuously, and his body swelled up! The blood lines on the Devil God phantom behind him became increasingly prominent! The extent of his struggles also increased.
Those gentle breezes seemed to be struggling to break free.
Ning Chenxin remained unchanged despite witnessing this scene. As she turned the page of her book again, she softly murmured, "Attain utmost emptiness, maintain steadfast stillness."
"A pure heart is like still water; still water is the heart."
"A gentle breeze stirs, the water remains calm."
"Alone I sit in the secluded bamboo grove, letting out a long sigh as I play my zither."
As Ning Chenxin spoke, his voice grew louder and louder, and a holy white light began to shine around him!
This holy white light gradually enveloped Xiao Hei's entire body.
Surprisingly, Xiao Hei's eyes stopped raging at that moment, and the bloodshot veins and the bloodlust around him receded like a tide!
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Qianyao, Jiang Qingluan, and Jin Wujin looked at Ning Chenxin with slightly surprised expressions.
During this time, Ning Chenxin did not reveal any of his cultivation level, but he did display a power similar to the Power of Rules.
Du Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and said, " Confucian Dao, Daoism, and Daoist practices? That's strange. These practices, which are no longer practiced or believed in, still have inheritors."
Confucian Dao, Daoism, and Legalism were extremely popular in High Antiquity times.
However, after its transmission was cut off, this method of cultivation became too difficult to grasp, so much so that later generations gradually abandoned Confucian Dao, and Daoist practices.
Gradually, they approached extinction.
As the time it takes for an incense stick to burn slowly passed, Xiao Hei calmed down completely, and the murderous aura around him vanished entirely.
Ning Chenxin then put the book in her hand back into the book basket behind her.
Xiao Hei scratched his head and said, "Sorry for causing everyone trouble..."
Ning Chenxin smiled and shook her head, "If this malevolent energy of yours cannot be fully integrated into yourself, it could very well become a source of harm."
Xiao Hei nodded. "I understand. If all else fails, I'll go to my master and see if he has any ideas."
On the other side.
Seeing that things were basically over, Ye Qiubai turned to look at the Sword Tomb, "Shall we begin?"
Du Yun nodded. "Let's begin."
There was no further verbal exchange.
Ye Qiubai and Du Yun simultaneously stepped onto the Sword Tomb.
Unlike other places where secret realms are passed down.
There was no pressure or threat on this Sword Tomb.
However, neither Ye Qiubai nor Du Yun could sense whether there was any inheritance on these broken swords.
It resembles an abandoned tomb of swords!
However, the mournful cries emanating from these broken swords were undeniable.
Du Yun raised his head and looked at the broken sword at the top of the Sword Tomb. At the summit, there was only one broken sword, as if it were the king of this Sword Tomb!
Seeing this, Du Yun lifted his foot and strode towards the summit, ignoring the broken swords along the way...
Ye Qiubai stood still, his fingers gently brushing over the broken swords.
Feel its sorrow, feel what it has been through.
Slowly, he closed his eyes and became lost in thought!
