The commotion at the ferry crossing startled the workers and boats that were about to dock, forcing them to leave the water again.
Bi Sheng arrived immediately.
Upon seeing his senior uncle in the sky, he disregarded everything and directly pulled the arriving magistrate Chang Yuan, clearing away all the mortals around them and leaving a large buffer zone.
Chang Yuan knew the principle that when immortals fight, mortals suffer, so he used all his strength to clear the ferry crossing and ordered all boatmen, civilians, and merchants not to approach it.
After he finished doing all this, he looked at Bi Sheng beside him with some doubt.
"Master Bi, aren't you going up to help?"
Bi Sheng replied, "My master is a man of great wisdom; we just need to wait."
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the forces near Wind Howling Ford.
The four local families and the Rosy Clouds Abode Alliance all rushed to the vicinity, but none of them showed themselves. They just watched the two of them secretly, their hearts filled with shock.
"This guy surnamed Chen... he actually dares to go up against that guy surnamed Bai?" Zhao Yongkun, the third master of the Zhao Household, had an incredulous expression on his face.
But compared to his third brother's surprise, Zhao Yongnian, the eldest son of the Zhao Household, was even more surprised by the strength that Bai Zhixing was showing.
" Great Perfection of Qi Refining... those scales on his body... could they really be the bloodline of a demon king?"
However, compared to the Zhao Household, the other three families were also discussing the matter, but like the Zhao Household, they hoped that the two sides would fight to the death.
By then, the entire Wind Howling Ford will once again be their territory.
Bai Zhixing's emerald green vertical pupils flashed with a fierce light. With a sudden wave of his right hand, three claw-like beams tore towards Chen Shuangbai.
Chen Shuangbai dodged to the side, her pupils suddenly shrinking.
Because Bai Zhixing's speed was also incredibly fast, he actually appeared in front of him.
With a clang!
The Cold Spring Green Parasol swords crossed in front of Chen Shuangbai, blocking Bai Zhixing's right hand. Dark green poison gas gushed out, but it was blocked by a layer of clear, shimmering duckweed light that appeared on Chen Shuangbai's body.
As brothers, Bai Xiuyuan's skills would naturally Bai Zhixing as well.
Therefore, Chen Shuangbai had long been wary of this move.
Bai Zhixing's speed was astonishing. Streams of dark green light appeared, attacking Chen Shuangbai from all directions with immense force and deadly poison.
Chen Shuangbai showed no sign of panic. With a thought, he swiftly and rapidly deflected all the attacks with his Cold Spring and Green Parasol swords.
The two parted ways temporarily.
Bai Zhixing felt the frost spreading across his hands and the dark energy invading his body. His bloodline power surged again, forcibly expelling it.
Chen Shuangbai ignored him, her two flying swords gleaming as if they were brand new, humming as they dissipated the opponent's immense force.
Bai Zhixing frowned slightly.
Chen Shuangbai raised her dark eyebrows and laughed, "Your poison... is indeed quite sophisticated. If I hadn't been prepared, I might have fallen for your trick and would be your prisoner by now."
"Snort!"
Such a contemptuous tone fueled Bai Zhixing's anger even more.
The leader of the Azure Flood Dragon Society, who possessed the bloodline of a demon king, had an even more ferocious look in his eyes, but a hint of solemnity flashed deep within them.
Despite his best efforts to overestimate Chen Shuangbai, he still couldn't figure it out... how could this person, who was clearly at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, possibly...
etc!
Bai Zhixing's emerald green vertical pupils suddenly widened, a strange light flashing in his eyes, as he looked at Chen Shuangbai and saw—
As dusk fell, the sky grew somber. The young man stood in the sunlight, dressed in a plain white Daoist robe, with a dark blue inner garment underneath. His white boots seemed untouched by worldly dust. A smile remained on his handsome face, and his jade-like eyes gazed at him. A misty, ethereal magical Law Power emanated from him, within which a moon-like phase seemed to appear, illuminating his somber heart with a touch of brightness.
"You... have reached the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining?"
Bai Zhixing had no idea why he had asked such a foolish question.
Chen Shuangbai flashed a bright white smile and declared in a clear voice, "From the moment I embarked on my cultivation journey, I set a principle for myself."
Bai Zhixing listened to the young man, who seemed like a celestial being from the moon, say this—
"Anyone who obstructs my Dao Path may be killed."
That's all.
A flash of cold light appeared, like a thunderclap tearing through the dark clouds, and in the blink of an eye, it landed on Bai Zhixing's head.
Yin Lightning is the most unpredictable!
A burst of frost erupted from the sky, causing Bai Zhixing to stagger. Despite using the scales on his body for defense, he could not stop the chilling cold that threatened to penetrate his bones, and the sinister Yin Lightning power that had already entered his meridians and begun to surge wildly.
He spat out a mouthful of frost-covered blood.
Although he wasn't seriously injured, it still annoyed him.
Bai Zhixing laughed in fury, the three black scales on his face gleaming eerily in the twilight, the ferocity in his emerald vertical pupils almost tangible. "In just a few months, you've managed to advance from the Qi Refining Fifth Layer to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining... I must say, you are indeed remarkable."
"I imagine... among the outer disciples of the Jade Spring Sect, there are very few who possess your talent and skills."
"You flatter me."
Chen Shuangbai said this.
But that's about it.
After Bai Zhixing finished speaking, a jet-black scale appeared in front of him, spewing out streaks of dark light. Finally, a dark green halo emerged from within it, and a wild and cold demonic pressure crashed down.
Chen Shuangbai summoned Wei Chengfeng's sword talisman, and azure fish- Sword Qi appeared, swirling up to clash with it. But in the next instant, it made a creaking sound, as if it was about to break in half.
Chen Shuangbai glanced at Bai Zhixing and saw that the other party had placed one hand on the black scale, and his Essence Blood out, allowing the scale of the Foundation Establishment Great Demon to absorb it and release an even stronger Great Demon pressure.
Chen Shuangbai's eyes narrowed.
He instantly understood that Bai Zhixing was using a bloodline sacrifice to forcibly awaken the true power of the Foundation Establishment stage contained within the scale of that Foundation Establishment demon.
Although Wei Chengfeng's sword talisman was also exquisite, it couldn't compare to this method of forcibly enhancing its power.
Once the sword talisman is completely destroyed, the oppressive aura unique to Foundation Establishment demons will descend upon him... Chen Shuangbai has not yet refined his body.
There is a natural chasm between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment.
Chen Shuangbai raced, but she had already made up her mind.
He poured a large amount of Law Power into the nearly destroyed sword talisman, then threw it at Bai Zhixing, detonating the remaining Foundation Establishment power within it.
The azure Sword Qi, imbued with the True Intention essence of water, shot out in all directions, like a flood bursting its banks and pouring down in all directions.
Although it was a waste, it offset the increasingly powerful demonic pressure released by the black scale.
Chen Shuangbai used this opportunity to temporarily escape and create distance, avoiding the direct impact of the great demon's oppressive aura on her.
Upon seeing this, Bai Zhixing's eyes flashed with disdain and mockery.
"That was decisive... but... once you lose this sword talisman, how many more times can you evade it?"
