Bai Zhenghong had lived for decades and had never seen such a brutal and domineering Thunder Method.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that this was Thunder Method unleashed by Fifth Rank cultivator!
He could also see that Zhou Wuji's sleeves were emanating a strong Law Power fluctuation, clearly indicating that he was hiding a powerful Law Artifact, or even Law Treasure, which explained the terrifying power of his Thunder Method.
However, Zhou Wuji was only a Fifth Rank cultivator, so his Law Power was bound to be limited.
Such a frenzied display of Thunder Method is something even Fifth Rank Perfection Daoist at the peak of cultivation couldn't withstand. The fact that Zhou Wuji could sustain it is already highly unusual!
Moreover, this kid is extremely cunning; he came up without saying a word and immediately launched a sneak attack.
Suddenly finding himself with the leisure to speak sarcastically, he deliberately adopted a composed demeanor, but in reality, he was taking the opportunity to recover his Law Power.
Bai Zhenghong knew very well that once Zhou Wuji recovered and continued casting his spells, even if they could withstand the next round of Thunder Method, Zhou Wuji would be able to retreat calmly.
Regardless, they must seize the opportunity to engage Zhou Wuji in close combat; this is their only chance of victory.
He channeled his True Qi and flew forward on blue lotus flowers. These lotus flowers were as large as water basins with thick roots. Although he was not good at light-body skills, he could easily leap over them by using their momentum.
Bai Zhenghong was extremely fast. He reached Zhou Wuji in two leaps. Fearing that Zhou Wuji would escape, he unleashed the Five Gu Dragon Transformation Hand and struck out with a palm strike from afar.
The Five Gu Dragon Transformation Scripture has an extremely unique cultivation method. First, one must refine the five Gu and integrate them into the five internal organs, then nourish the Gu worms with blood and flesh. This process is extremely painful.
If one is not careful, their internal organs will be devoured by the Gu worms, and the cultivator will die an extremely painful death.
Only a very few people can endure the pain and integrate the five poisonous creatures into their five internal organs, using them to absorb toxic energy and continuously strengthen their internal organs.
Bai Zhenghong has an exceptional talent for this Secret Method, which is why he was able to cultivate the Five Gu Dragon Transformation Scripture the Fourth Rank rank, just one step away from the Third Rank.
He unleashed the Five Gu Dragon Transformation Hand with all his might, and the five poisonous creatures within his five internal organs spewed out poisonous energy, which was transformed into palm force and condensed into a huge five-colored palm about ten feet in diameter, which covered Zhou Wuji directly.
Zhou Wuji's eyesight was extremely sharp, and he could see that the five-colored giant hand was actually composed of countless tiny, dust-like five-colored Gu worms.
The Gu worms are not only highly poisonous, but when empowered by True Qi, they become as sharp as needles.
He dared not underestimate it and immediately activated the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation, his azure light robe protecting his entire body and isolating him from the outside world.
The orthodox methods of Daoism are specifically designed to counter all kinds of insidious and poisonous techniques Devil Cultivator. The Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation alone is enough to keep all poisonous insects at bay.
Zhou Wuji then unleashed a second Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation, the azure divine light transforming into a giant palm over ten feet long to meet the five-colored giant palm.
The two palms clashed, and the five-colored giant palms collapsed into countless five-colored dust particles that flew everywhere.
The surrounding five-colored lotus flowers bent and shattered under the force of the palm strike, and the shattered petals flew up with them.
The scattered poisonous Qi of the Five Gu fell onto the petals and leaves, instantly corroding the lotus flower with countless holes.
In the blink of an eye, all the lotus flowers around withered and decomposed, the river water changed color, and hundreds of fish and shrimp surged out of the murky water.
The five poisonous creatures spread, annihilating all the lotus flowers, fish, and shrimp within a radius of several dozen feet.
Some of the Gu worms landed on the azure robe, turning directly into wisps of black mist, which also dimmed the azure robe slightly.
Seeing how potent the Five Poisons were, Zhou Wuji became somewhat wary.
Bai Zhenghong, impacted by the Law Power the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation, swayed slightly and took two steps back to adjust his breathing.
Bai Zhenghong was even more surprised. The Law Power condensed from the azure light was so pure and powerful, and it also possessed the vast and majestic power of Daoism that could restrain all Evil Method. He wondered what kind of magic it was.
This palm strike also made him realize how powerful Zhou Wuji was, that he could actually use magic like martial Law Technique!
He didn't have time to think too much, and immediately activated the Five Poisons to transform into the Qi of the Five Poisons again, striking out with his palm once more.
Zhou Wuji knew the power of the Five Poisons; even using Thunder Method or a sword to resist their deadly poison would still put him at a disadvantage.
The best way to deal with this is actually the Golden Light Great Incantation. One powerful incantation is enough to kill all the Gu worms.
However, he was still Zhiyuan at the level of the Golden Light Incantation. His spells could kill the Gu worms, but they could not withstand the opponent's violent palm strike.
If it weren't for another Fourth Rank expert, he could have easily dealt with this guy.
Although the Five Poisons are potent, they cannot be activated indefinitely. If he creates a little distance, he can use Thunder Method to slowly wear this guy down.
Now, another Fourth Rank martial artist has arrived, and the two of them joining forces will cause a lot of trouble.
Zhou Wuji used the Tianquan Sword to calculate and quickly came to a conclusion: they had to risk killing the guy who used Gu worms first.
Faced with the five-colored giant palm that came crashing down from the sky again, Zhou Wuji drew his sword to meet it.
With a flash of bright sword light, the five-colored giant palm was cleaved open by the cold and icy Dusk Snow Sword, and then the bright and icy sword light was already in front of Bai Zhenghong.
Bai Zhenghong was somewhat surprised that Zhou Wuji actually dared to engage in close combat. This kid was truly arrogant!
What "Sword Lord Xiaoxiang"? Calling him that is just for fun, but Zhou Wuji actually takes his Swordsmanship seriously!
Although Bai Zhenghong cultivates the Five Gu Dragon Transformation Scripture, he follows a proper martial arts path and excels in close combat.
As Zhou Wuji approached on his sword, a cruel and fierce look appeared in his five-colored eyes, and he smashed his iron staff straight at Zhou Wuji.

This Five Dragon Staff weighs twenty-nine catties and is six feet long. It is made of black iron fused with snake bone. The staff appears to have a smooth surface but has countless tiny holes, which are perfect for releasing highly poisonous Gu worms.
Moreover, his iron staff was heavy and long, and Zhou Wuji would never dare to block it head-on, so he would not give Zhou Wuji a chance to get close and draw his sword.
The black iron staff, riddled with countless tiny holes, emitted a strange, piercing shriek as it pierced the air.
Before the iron staff even arrived, the void seemed to be torn apart by it.
Faced with such a powerful iron staff, Zhou Wuji raised his sword to meet it. Bai Zhenghong was somewhat puzzled, but he was not afraid at all; this kind of close-quarters combat was exactly what he excelled at.
Bai Zhenghong silently activated the Five Gu, adding three more points of True Qi to the strike of the iron staff.
The gleaming blade spun in mid-air, its light tracing an almost perfect circle in the sky.
The heavy iron staff struck the perfect sword light, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea; the sword light rippled and turned the heavy iron staff to one side.
Although Bai Zhenghong tried his best to control the iron staff, he could not suppress the violent rotating force transmitted from it.
He knew in his heart that half of the external rotation force came from his own power.
Zhou Wuji's sword strike was flawless, its movements like the alternation of day and night. He watched with his own eyes but couldn't see through the changes in the sword light, and the iron staff was uncontrollably turned to the outside.
Even more exaggeratedly, millions of tiny, highly poisonous Gu worms sprayed out from the fine holes of the iron staff, but they were all completely annihilated by the perfect sword light. Not a single Gu worm managed to penetrate the sword light and land on Zhou Wuji.
After his first mistake, Bai Zhenghong immediately realized that things were going badly. This kid's Sword Lord Xiaoxiang" was well-deserved; his Swordsmanship was truly unfathomable!
Decades of experience in the martial arts world made Bai Zhenghong immediately release the iron staff in his hand.
The iron staff is heavy and powerful; precisely because of this, it is difficult to adjust once the wrong force is applied.
Faced with Zhou Wuji's superb Swordsmanship, Bai Zhenghong knew that it would be very unwise to try to control the iron staff any further.
He threw away the iron staff, thus breaking all the Swordsmanship techniques that Zhou Wuji had applied to it.
Bai Zhenghong knew Chen Chaohai would arrive soon, so he decisively struck with his palm.
No matter how skilled Zhou Wuji was with his Swordsmanship, he used his palm strikes to create a feint from a distance, preventing Zhou Wuji from getting any closer.
The palm force unleashed by the Five Poisons Transforming into Dragons was like a mountain collapsing, fiercely striking towards Zhou Wuji.
At the same time, Chen Chaohai was already twenty paces away. With another leap, he could join the battle.
Zhou Wuji knew that time was of the essence. He had already sensed Chen Chaohai's gloomy and cold aura, and at the level of Divine Sense, he could feel the powerful martial arts divine intent released by Chen Chaohai.
This kind of divine intent strike caused some interference to his Divine Sense.
Fortunately, his Divine Sense was far stronger than that of an ordinary Fourth Rank cultivator, and he was able to forcibly stabilize his Divine Sense.
He immediately unleashed the White Rainbow Sword again, slashing straight at the five-colored palm force.
It was still the Dusk Snow Sword, but it used the Army-Breaking Sword Qi, which was more in line with his opening of the lung aperture, and the Army-Breaking runes of the White Rainbow Sword were also activated.
The bright, cold sword light sliced through the five-colored palm force, heading straight for Bai Zhenghong's neck.
Bai Zhenghong sensed the incomparably sharp edge of the sword light. He knew this was the most crucial moment of life and death; one wrong move and he would die.
Conversely, if he could just block that sword strike, Zhou Wuji would be killed by Chen Chaohai, who was rushing in from the side.
He wasn't trying to sacrifice himself for others, but rather that retreating blindly at this point would be more dangerous; a direct confrontation would offer a greater chance of victory.
Bai Zhenghong adjusted his body as if to dodge, but in reality he was circulating the Five Gu to stimulate all his Essence Blood and True Qi.
His ten fingers were bent like hooks, like dragon claws, and his two claws gripped the sharp sword blade tightly.
This move Flying Dragon Seizes the Pearl, captures the swiftness and agility of a dragon vying for a precious pearl, and is precisely the most exquisite transformation in the Five Gu Dragon Transformation Hand.
He wore gloves woven from the silk of the Sixth-Transformation Undying Golden Silkworm on his palms, impervious to swords and blades, and even capable of directly resisting Thunder Method and deadly poisons.
Although Zhou Wuji's sword was excellent, it could not possibly break through his gloves. It was precisely because he had this confidence that he dared to grab Zhou Wuji's sword with his bare hands.
Bai Zhenghong beckoned, and he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
Just then, the White Rainbow Sword trembled and transformed into a continuous stream of sword light.
The shimmering sword light was like smoke and vapor, elusive and indistinct, like the silent yet pervasive Night Rain in Jiangnan, nourishing all things.
Bai Zhenghong felt a slight coolness between his brows, a coolness like ink staining paper, which quietly seeped into his entire body.
His five-colored eyes were blank, as if he didn't know what had happened, and in a daze, he didn't even know where he was.
I just feel empty inside...
Zhou Wuji face gradually blurred, while Chen Chaohai, who was rushing towards him from the side, had a ferocious expression and seemed to be shouting something.
"Retreat immediately!"
Bai Zhenghong finally heard Chen Chaohai's voice, but the voice was faint and distant, as if the two were in different worlds.
The light and shadow before his eyes vanished into deep darkness, and all sound fell silent. For some reason, figures flashed through Bai Zhenghong's mind.
He had his foolish and ignorant parents, his cruel and gloomy master, his junior sister whom he once loved, and the first person he killed, that stupid and irritable junior brother...
Everything from my memories surged up, only to vanish like the tide.
"So I've been stabbed... The Sword Intent penetrated deep into my consciousness, severing all my senses and life force."
So, I am already dead...
Bai Zhenghong suddenly realized something; before he could even feel resentment or fear, all his consciousness completely collapsed...
