With Bai Xiuyuan's death, the formation at the Waterside Mountain Manor was left unattended and quickly went out completely.
Chen Shuangbai stood on the frozen lake, looking at the human head lying at her feet, and then at the scales that had grown on the other person's face but had disappeared again because of life and death, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"It seems I was right after all."
Previously at the Spring-Venerating Daoist Academy, Chen Shuangbai and Bai Zhixing had a falling out, each holding a Foundation Establishment token. The latter took out a scale of a Foundation Establishment demon.
Chen Shuangbai remembered very clearly the sticky, cold spiritual pressure emanating from that scale.
Combined with the clues that had already been exposed, the Bai Brothers had some connection with a certain demon king of the Zhao Kingdom.
Looking at these scales now, I'm sure I guessed right.
"These scales... must belong to a snake or python."
Chen Shuangbai left foot slightly, and the force spread out, turning Bai Zhixing's corpse, which had already turned into an ice sculpture, into dust. Then she took away his Storage Bag, thinking of uprooting the formation that covered Waterside Mountain Manor, when she heard a high-pitched eagle cry from high in the sky.
But then a high-pitched cry of an eagle came from high above.
Chen Shuangbai looked in the direction of the sound and saw Feiguang, a magnificent figure, spreading its wings in the clouds. On its hook-like claws, it held nine array flags, and on the other end, it held an array plate.
Chen Shuangbai was speechless.
Isn't the Snow-Plumed Eagle the king of the snow mountains?
"How come you've become a treasure hunter here...?"
Feiguang grumbled in dissatisfaction and then threw the thing down from the sky.
Chen Shuangbai nodded at the guy.
After scanning the entire manor to make sure nothing was missed, Chen Shuangbai decisively flipped over and landed on Feiguang's back, sending it speeding towards the direction of the Azure Flood Dragon Society.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
Chen Shuangbai stood on Feiguang's back, the surrounding scenery rushing past, and a strong wind blowing in his face, but he seemed to be rooted to the spot, no matter how the wind blew, he remained unmoved.
The Feiguang was moving very fast, and the clouds along its path were swept up, turning into a white line.
Not long after.
The Wind Howling Ford Crossing was already in sight. The tall building where the Azure Flood Dragon Society was located stood out conspicuously among the low-rise houses and buildings.
The wind howled fiercely, but Chen Shuangbai's killing intent burned even brighter.
Anyone who obstructs one's Dao Path may be killed.
Bai Xiuyuan is dead, so Bai Zhixing should go down and join him.
at the same time.
At the very moment Bai Xiuyuan lost his life, Bai Zhixing, who was in seclusion inside the building, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, forcing him to wake up from his seclusion to heal his wounds.
What happened?
Bai Zhixing felt a sudden pang of unease for no apparent reason.
That feeling... was like that of a close relative...
"Mother... no, although Mother is not favored, she is still the mistress."
"That person... is even less likely... which means..."
Bai Zhixing's heart skipped a beat, and he realized what was happening. His expression changed, and he transformed into a streak of black light, smashing through the door and rushing into the ground. His violent and chilling aura splashed out in all directions, causing utter destruction to the ground.
"Will... the master?"
A trusted confidant, witnessing this scene, asked, somewhat bewildered.
"Where is Second Master? Where is he?"
The group was in a state of chaos, looking around frantically, and finally pushed out Bai Xiuyuan's trusted burly man.
Seeing his leader's near-madness, the burly man knew things were turning bad and was about to tell him everything when...
A sudden change has occurred!
Alarm bells rang in Bai Zhixing's mind, and he heard the high-pitched sound of swords ringing in his ears.
The dim lights inside the building suddenly went out, and with a loud bang, the building exploded, splitting open a huge cross-shaped gash. Pieces of debris were scattered all over the ground, smashing and crushing the henchmen.
Bai Zhixing suddenly looked up. The warm sunlight outside slanted down, and in his field of vision, he saw a handsome and elegant figure.
With a clang.
A round object fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and landed at Bai Zhixing's feet.
Bai Zhixing's gaze followed the circle as it rolled around a few times. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt a darkness engulf his vision. Anger and sorrow surged wildly in his heart like a tidal wave.
"No!"
A roar like that of a wounded beast erupted from deep within Bai Zhixing's throat, shattering the surrounding Azure Flood Dragon Society members into dust.
The leader of the Azure Flood Dragon Society knelt on the ground, his hands trembling as he lifted his younger brother's head, looking into those familiar eyes filled with frozen terror, and held it tightly in his palms.
" Xiuyuan... Xiuyuan..."
Bai Zhixing's bloodshot eyes were fixed on the young man who stood with his hands behind his back, bathed in the sunlight, his expression calm to the point of being cold. The darkness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a bright green.
His teeth were clenched so tightly they were grinding together, and veins on his skin bulged like Hornless Dragon. A violent, cold aura, mixed with overwhelming killing intent and excruciating pain, erupted from his body.
"Chen, Shuang, Bai--!!!"
"You actually!"
How dare you!
"Kill Xiuyuan!!!"
Chen Shuangbai stood suspended in mid-air at the edge of the gap in the broken building wall, looking down calmly at Bai Zhixing's eyes, which seemed to be ready to devour him.
"He who kills will be killed by others."
Chen Shuangbai's voice wasn't loud, but it reached Bai Zhixing's ears clearly.
"He used your name to send me an invitation, feigning allegiance, but then set a trap to kill me. Now I've turned the tables on him... It's only natural."
" Bai Zhixing, you should have expected this day."
Bai Zhixing laughed wildly, his laughter filled with madness and resentment. Tears streamed down his face, flowing over the three black scales that had appeared on his cheeks.
" Chen Shuangbai! You severed my limbs and destroyed my business! I will never forgive you!"
"I know."
Chen Shuangbai said calmly.
So... I'm here.
Bai Zhixing hid his head in his Storage Bag. His originally pale skin gradually showed dark green marks and grew black scales.
boom--!!!
A Savage Wilderness, cold, and ferocious aura belonging to the Demon Race erupted completely from his body!
The already precarious Azure Flood Dragon Society building collapsed completely.
At the thickest point of the smoke and dust, a dark green beam of light shot into the sky and crashed towards Chen Shuangbai.
Chen Shuangbai was naturally not going to be so foolish as to fight this person head-on. A flash of red light appeared on the Flame Shadow Space-Escape Flag held in his left hand, and his figure disappeared, reappearing on the other side.
Behind the dark green pillar of light, Bai Zhixing slowly rose into the air, his vertical pupils fixed on Chen Shuangbai, and said, word by word.
"Relocation and shifting... no wonder... no wonder..."
Seeing his ferocious appearance, Chen Shuangbai completely understood his level of cultivation.
" Great Perfection of Qi Refining... No, this aura is somewhat weak, as if he hasn't fully recovered from a serious injury and has fallen from Great Perfection of Qi Refining. He should be around Ninth Layer of Qi Refining."
"Hmm... I can kill him."
