"Hum..."
A mighty pressure began to descend.
As if...
The sea was about to surge inland, and the heavens and earth were about to overturn.
This kind of aura, this kind of oppression, instantly changed Shangguan Xianling and the others' expressions.
"Little Junior Brother!"
"Little Junior Brother, he must be about to unleash some powerful sword technique, be extremely careful."
"Little Junior Brother, if you can't win, just dodge yourself, don't worry about us, we'll be fine!"
"Little Junior Brother..."
Bai Zihe's senior sisters were all panicked at this moment.
But Bai Zihe was fearless.
This posture of Xiao Junlin...
He was too familiar with it.
It was exactly the same as when Liu Wen used it at Lava Mountain Range that day.
"Bai Zihe..."
Xiao Junlin hovered in mid-air, amplified by the powerful pressure, making him appear like a deity. His strength was unprecedentedly strong, and his confidence had swelled immensely.
He looked down at Bai Zihe below, as if looking down at an ant: "To die by my sword..."
"You, can be proud enough."
What he was about to unleash was the sword borrowed from Qin Changkong before he left.
This sword...
Was a full-power strike from a Tribulation Realm expert.
In his opinion.
Unless Bai Zihe also possessed Tribulation Realm strength, he was bound to die, with absolutely no other possibility.
And Bai Zihe...
How could he possibly possess Tribulation Realm strength?
Therefore, at this very moment, Bai Zihe's life had entered a countdown!
When his sword strike fell, that would be the moment of Bai Zihe's demise!
"Is that so?"
Bai Zihe scoffed, completely unconcerned.
"Still acting."
"Keep acting."
Xiao Junlin's eyes held endless indifference.
At this moment, he was looking down on Bai Zihe.
In his eyes.
Bai Zihe was already powerless to resist, merely putting up a brave front before death, so as not to lose face.
But this...
Was meaningless in the fight.
"Hum..."
As Xiao Junlin continued to gather his strength.
The pressure in mid-air grew stronger and stronger. The bright sun was already obscured, the clouds were buried, and the sky was left with endless darkness.
That was...
Darkness capable of destroying the world.
"Crack..."
Just then, a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, bringing infinite light to the earth, but only for a brief moment.
After this instant.
Heaven and earth had entered eternal night.
"Crack..."
Another thunderous sound.
However, this time it did not come from the sky but from the earth beneath their feet – a huge crevice had split open.
Like an abyss.
Like a chasm.
After the crevice appeared.
Endless cracks suddenly began to spread.
Before the technique even landed, it was already terrifying!
And this kind of power...
Had already terrified Shangguan Xianling and the others, turning their faces ashen. They were so anxious that they even wanted to step forward and push Bai Zihe aside to block the sword for him.
"Swish..."
Bai Zihe's divine sense was everywhere.
Sensing the abnormality of his senior sisters, he immediately released his true essence and pushed them hundreds of feet away to prevent them from getting hurt.
"Little Junior Brother!"
"Little Junior Brother, you must be careful!"
"Little Junior Brother..."
The senior sisters were even more horrified, but helpless.
"Don't worry."
Bai Zihe smiled faintly, not taking this move seriously at all.
Finally.
After a full half-minute of charging,
Xiao Junlin's aura had reached its peak, gathering the changes of wind and clouds, and a myriad of phenomena.
"Sword come—"
The next moment, Xiao Junlin brought his index and middle fingers together, pointing straight towards the heavens.
With a tiger's roar,
"Chirp..."
An incomparably dazzling sword light suddenly appeared in his hand.
Divine power like a prison, overwhelmingly invincible.
At this moment.
This sword light was resplendent and soul-stirring.
It pierced through the darkness of eternal night and illuminated infinite dawn.
It was the only color in heaven and earth, and the supreme ruler of heaven and earth.
It slayed gods when it met gods, and buddhas when it met buddhas!
"Go, kill Bai Zihe!"
The next moment, Xiao Junlin pointed directly at Bai Zihe.
The sword light, as if sentient, immediately pounced towards Bai Zihe.
"Whoosh—"
This aura was already invincible.
This killing intent was already undefeated.
And Bai Zihe...
Seemed like a mere sacrifice under the immense power. In front of it, he could not last for a moment before turning to ash and perishing completely.
"Die."
As the sword light flew, Xiao Junlin could no longer hold back, and let out a roar.
At this moment.
He was like an emperor, looking down from above, invincible and unparalleled.
He looked at Bai Zihe, his gaze cold and profound, as if... he had already seen his brilliant future through the boundless distance.
Killing Bai Zihe, receiving the reward from his master, and then completing that task...
At that time, he would very likely stand at the pinnacle of the entire Longevity Realm.
What unparalleled magnificence!
"Whoosh..."
The sword light was falling.
Bai Zihe's divine sense discovered that he was actually locked on.
As if...
The surrounding space and time had condensed, making it impossible for him to move.
"Interesting."
A spark flashed in Bai Zihe's cold eyes.
This sword.
He had at least three ways to counter it.
The first was the simplest, most brutal, and most concise and effective.
That was the Haotian Pagoda.
The Haotian Pagoda could withstand even extreme thermal weapons, so blocking a strike from an unknown expert would be effortless, a mere trifle.
The second was to fight force with force, to go head-on.
That was "Heaven Splitting Earth Shattering"!
With his current cultivation of the Integration Realm, unleashing Heaven Splitting Earth Shattering was much easier, and he could still crush this move with overwhelming force.
However, there would be a period of weakness, which Bai Zihe did not want.
The third was to break sword with sword!
The Tai Xuan Thirteen Swords were exquisitely crafted. When he practiced them last night, he had already comprehended the second sword – Netherworld Yellow Springs.
This move, Netherworld Yellow Springs, was an improved version from the Wordless Celestial Tome!
"Swish!"
Without hesitation, Bai Zihe's mind moved, and the Zhutian Sword appeared in his right hand.
In the blink of an eye.
It was also filled with endless light.
"Netherworld Yellow Springs!"
As Bai Zihe let out a roar.
The Zhutian Sword immediately unleashed a world-shattering sword radiance.
Seeing this, Xiao Junlin sneered incessantly, his eyes filled with contempt.
"Bai Zihe..."
He looked down at Bai Zihe and said disdainfully, "This sword is a full-power strike from my master, Qin Changkong!"
"You actually attempt to clash swords..."
"You are simply a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating your strength!"
"Hahaha..."
Saying this, Xiao Junlin couldn't help but burst into laughter.
But at this moment.
"Rumble..."
The two sword lights collided.
In the blink of an eye.
Xiao Junlin found that his sword had begun to collapse on all fronts.
"Splash..."
The sword energy was instantly annihilated and scattered beyond recognition.
Of course.
Bai Zihe was not unscathed either.
"Pfft..."
He spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
After all, it was a strike from a Tribulation Realm expert. Although wielded by a nascent soul cultivator, its power was still immense.
Bai Zihe had merely taken some advantage.
Firstly, he had a divine artifact like the Wordless Celestial Tome, which made his sword moves flawless and without any weakness.
Secondly, he knew the flaw in Xiao Junlin's move.
Even so.
Bai Zihe found it extremely difficult to resist, to the point of being injured.
Injured or not.
Xiao Junlin, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly felt a chill.
"You, you..."
Xiao Junlin stared intently at Bai Zihe, unable to believe what he was seeing.
He, a disciple of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect, had borrowed a sword from his Tribulation Realm master Qin Changkong, and after unleashing it, he was blocked by someone who had only taken up martial arts halfway.
He seemed to have suffered a slight injury, but in reality, he was unharmed.
What kind of situation was this?
Absurd!
Beyond absurd!
Xiao Junlin's face kept changing, and the next moment, he made an unexpected move – he turned and fled.
