Bai Gu, the Nine-Leaf Lotus

"Boom!"

Instantly, Yang Jian was ejected from the ground, his face contorted in agony.

The terrifying fire-attribute energy contained within this fireball was truly terrifying. If Yang Jian hadn't cultivated the Nine Dragons Sacred Earth Instruction and the Heaven and Heaven and Earth Overlord Body, Yang Jian physical body would probably have collapsed long ago.

"Hmph! A mere cultivator who has just advanced to the Mystic Immortal realm dares to attempt to barge into our main hall? He's simply courting death!"

Just as Yang Jian was being thrown backwards in a disheveled state, a cold voice suddenly rang in Yang Jian ear.

Upon hearing this voice, Yang Jian couldn't help but feel a chill. This voice felt just as eerie and sinister as the one he had heard before.

Yang Jian looked closely and found that what was in front of him was a huge young man.

The man was tall and straight, dressed in a long blue robe, exuding a sharp aura, and with a cold expression on his face.

The man held a long, cold iron sword in his hand, and a violent, murderous aura emanated from his body.

The young man's aura was many times stronger than that of the two men in black. Clearly, this man must be the legendary core disciple of the Blood Soul Sect — Bai Gu.

It's you!?

Upon seeing the young man before him, Yang Jian frowned slightly. He hadn't expected to encounter Bai Gu here.

"What? Do you know me?" Upon seeing Yang Jian's appearance, Bai Gu said indifferently, his tone full of arrogance, as if he were the most powerful person in the world.

"You are Bai Gu!"

Yang Jian stared at the Bai Gu, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

He had seen the young man's portrait in ancient books before and knew that he was a core disciple of the Blood Soul Sect named Bai Gu.

Moreover, Bai Gu is a Mystic Immortal master, whose status in the Blood Soul Sect is second only to the Bai Household head, and Bai Gu is also an unparalleled genius.

The Bai Gu also possesses a divinely bestowed Spirit Root. Moreover, in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the Bai Gu obtained a seedling of a Nine-Leaf Lotus, which is said to be an extremely rare spirit medicine.

However, it is said that the seedling of the Nine-Leaf Lotus is almost mature, but because the Spiritual Qi on the Bai Gu is relatively weak, it has been unable to make the seedling grow, so it can only watch it wither.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for the Bai Gu.

After all, Bai Gu is a person with extraordinary talent in cultivating immortality. If he could consume the seedling of the Nine-Leaf Lotus the moment it withered, he might be able to use the power of the Nine-Leaf Lotus to become a Bai Gu -Mystic Immortal level expert, and even have the opportunity to advance to the Mystic King level, or even the Mystic Lord level. It can be said that for Bai Gu, this seedling of the Nine-Leaf Lotus is definitely a crucial thing.

"You actually know my name!?" Bai Gu's expression changed slightly upon seeing Yang Jian's appearance.

"Bai Gu? I never expected to see my old enemy here!" Yang Jian coldly glanced at Bai Gu before speaking.

"Hmph! Boy, now that you know my name, you know what the consequences of offending me are, right?" Bai Gu sneered.

"Are you suggesting we kill you to silence you? I think you'd better get lost, or you won't live today!" Yang Jian coldly glanced at the Bai Gu and spoke directly.

"Boy, don't be so stubborn! Since you know my name, you'd better hand over the Nine-Leaf Lotus you're holding today, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Upon hearing Yang Jian's words, a look of anger appeared on Bai Gu's face as he coldly stared at Yang Jian.

"Ruthless as grass? Are you sure you can destroy me?"

Upon hearing Bai Gu's words, Yang Jian's lips curled into a disdainful expression, and he spoke directly.

Upon hearing Yang Jian's words, the cold glint in Bai Gu's eyes sharpened even further.

Although he was quite confident in his own strength, Yang Jian's strength far exceeded his expectations. Although Bai Gu was arrogant, he was not so narcissistic as to think he could crush everything.

Although Bai Gu also possesses the Mystic Lord realm, the gap between him and Yang Jian is not significant. Bai Gu even believes he can defeat Yang Jian, but only to the point of being able to beat Yang Jian. Whether Yang Jian can kill him depends on the relative strength of both parties.

"Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Don't worry, I'll just take the Nine-Leaf Lotus from your hand and leave without harming you in the slightest. Just wait to die in peace!" Bai Gu said coldly.

After Bai Gu finished speaking, his gaze fell directly on the Heaven and Earth Bag in Yang Jian's hand, and a greedy look flashed across his face. He clearly understood that if he wanted to snatch the Heaven and Earth Bag, it would be difficult for him to do so with his own strength. Therefore, his only target was the Heaven and Earth Bag in Yang Jian's hand, and he could not care about Bai Gu others for the time being.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then please make your move. I'd also like to see just what kind of methods the Bai Gu Prince has!" Yang Jian said calmly.

"You're asking for it!"

Upon seeing Yang Jian's reaction, Bai Gu could no longer contain his anger and lunged at Yang Jian. A terrifying wave of energy surged from his body, and a terrifying aura of Sha Qi erupted from him.

At the same time, a monstrous Blood Sea suddenly rose from behind him, and a blood-red lotus flower instantly appeared behind the Bai Gu, radiating terrifying blood-red light.

"Blood Soul Seal!"

Accompanied by a series of sounds like ghostly wails, a blood-red palm print slammed down towards Yang Jian, heading straight for his forehead.

As Yang Jian sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Bai Gu, a solemn expression flashed across his face. Bai Gu's strength had actually reached such a terrifying level, which made Yang Jian dare not be careless in the slightest. He immediately activated the Golden Light Shield of Merit that protected his entire body, enveloping himself in a layer of golden light.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The next moment, a series of violent impacts came from all directions.

A series of muffled thuds echoed through the void, and the next second Yang Jian was sent flying backward, retreating several hundred meters before barely managing to steady himself. His face was pale, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

"Hiss..."

Upon witnessing this scene, many people couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with shock.
