"Hoo..."
Bai Zihe found it difficult to hold on, so he chose to enter the Tongtian Tower.
He was currently on the 366th floor.
"Swish..."
As soon as Bai Zihe entered, a beam of light flashed and headed straight for his brow.
"Ding..."
Bai Zihe was prepared. The Zhutian Sword in his hand immediately released a sword energy, colliding with the beam of light.
"Huala..."
With a collision, the light dissipated, and Bai Zihe's sword energy also vanished.
Bai Zihe then had time to size up his opponent.
This was a human cultivator.
He carried a long sword on his back, wore a white robe, and had a handsome face that seemed faintly familiar.
"This is..."
Bai Zihe frowned slightly, and in the next moment, he found himself wanting to laugh and cry.
This opponent...
Was actually Long Bai Jianxian!
That's right, it was Long Bao Jianxian, but he was younger and more sharp-edged than the Long Bai Jianxian Bai Zihe had seen before.
Standing there, even though the sword on his back was not yet unsheathed, a powerful sword intent surged forth, as if it could cleave through everything in the world and break through the heavens.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Such heroic spirit...
Truly peerless.
Truly unmatched in the world.
Bai Zihe was momentarily mesmerized.
Of course, this was not the real Long Bai Jianxian, but the Long Bai Jianxian of that era, replicated by the supreme power of the Haotian Pagoda in this space-time.
"Whoosh..."
While Bai Zihe was lost in thought, his opponent was not. He immediately stepped into the air, controlling his sword with his right hand, and thrust it directly at Bai Zihe's throat.
Even for cultivators.
Even for immortals.
The weaknesses of the body remained weaknesses.
Unless, one had a diamond-hard Great Accomplishment physique, or...
Like Bai Zihe, possessed the Golden Saint Body or Earth Saint Body, which could form a powerful defense on the surface of the body.
"Swish..."
Bai Zihe did not rush to act.
He merely glanced at the incoming Long Bai Jianxian.
"Hum..."
With his Tiger Eye Divine Pupils, his eyes blazed with golden light.
In just an instant, Bai Zihe saw all the attack points, all the weaknesses, and all the movement routes of Long Bai Jianxian's sword strike...
And.
The precious sword on Long Bai Jianxian's body, the armor he wore, and what treasures he possessed...
Everything was clear at a glance, crystal clear, with no reservation.
Not only that.
The circulation of true essence within Long Bai Jianxian's meridians, and the condition of his dantian, also appeared before Bai Zihe without any deviation.
Looking at the seemingly rapid, yet full of flaws, sword strike, Bai Zihe was slightly stunned.
He had a hundred ways to counter this sword.
"This..."
Bai Zihe was astonished.
No wonder.
The White Tiger remnant soul could easily attack him back then, and he couldn't effectively dodge, only block.
No wonder.
The White Tiger could dominate warfare and was undefeated in a hundred battles.
These Tiger Eye Divine Pupils were simply divine artifacts for fighting, like cheat codes.
"Swish..."
The next moment, just as Long Bai Jianxian's sword reached Bai Zihe's throat, Bai Zihe drew his sword.
With a mere "ding," the precious sword was deflected by Bai Zihe. Then, the Zhutian Sword in Bai Zihe's hand followed up, easily landing at Long Bai's throat.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Long Bai Jianxian exploded on the spot.
His proud sword strike was actually blocked like this...
This was something he could not accept.
"You step aside. I know you, so I won't kill you."
Bai Zihe said lightly.
The opponents within the Tongtian Tower did not need to be killed; they only needed to be defeated and willing to let Bai Zihe proceed to the next level.
"You know me?"
"We've never met. How could you possibly know me?"
Bai Zihe smiled faintly: "Your name is Long Bai Jianxian, and you are a friend of mine."
"This..."
Long Bai was surprised again, and then, he decisively stepped aside.
As a genius, he had pride, but he also knew when to advance and retreat, and understand gains and losses. He would not struggle in vain.
"Swish..."
Bai Zihe walked into the next level.
"Hum..."
Just then, some commotion came from outside.
Bai Zihe's heart tensed slightly, and he immediately withdrew from the Tongtian Tower, and then decisively exited the Haotian Pagoda.
A communication jade slip appeared in his hand.
"Junior Brother, where are you now?"
It was his fifth senior sister, Yue Rushuang.
Bai Zihe quickly replied: "I am near the Tianshan Sword Sect. What happened?"
"The Xuantian Pavilion is under attack. Can you make it in time to help?"
Xuantian Pavilion!
That was the headquarters of his fifth senior sister, and it was personally handed over to her by their third grand-aunt. It had once provided Bai Zihe with countless intelligence and conveniences.
"Alright, I'll be right there."
"Whoosh..."
Putting away the communication jade slip, Bai Zihe immediately headed towards the area where the Xuantian Pavilion was located in Jiangdong Province.
With his current speed...
It was countless times faster than an airplane.
In just over ten minutes, he appeared above the Xuantian Pavilion's stronghold.
"Huh?"
Bai Zihe scanned with his divine sense, and his face changed drastically.
The Xuantian Pavilion had already turned into ruins, and everyone inside had been reduced to dried husks, with not a single survivor left!
Too cruel!
Too terrifying.
Bai Zihe immediately thought of the corpse at the Tianshan Sword Sect.
Yes!
If the perpetrator came from the Tianshan Sword Sect and committed this crime, it would be highly successful!
Moreover, on the way, Bai Zihe had not found any other signs of being drained, which meant that the other party was targeting the Xuantian Pavilion.
"Swish..."
Bai Zihe beckoned and transmitted to Yue Rushuang: "Fifth Senior Sister, how did you get this news?"
His voice was heavy.
The other party was a powerful cultivator, attacking the Xuantian Pavilion. Without corresponding combat power, it would be an almost one-sided massacre, with no resistance.
It would be impossible to escape, impossible to survive.
This was the suppression of power.
Logically, news shouldn't have gotten out.
"The Xuantian Pavilion still has a secret passage, left by Master back then."
Yue Rushuang's voice was also heavy.
Bai Zihe understood.
He guessed that the strength of their third grand-aunt was at least at the Tribulation Crossing stage, and possibly even above the Immortal stage.
Therefore, her methods could naturally defend against a cultivator.
But...
Who exactly was this cultivator?
"Hum..."
Just then, Bai Zihe's jade slip moved again.
However, this time, the message came not from his fifth senior sister Yue Rushuang, but from his second senior sister Ji Xueyun: "Junior Brother, the warriors in the Southern War Zone are being slaughtered. Can you get there now?"
Being slaughtered again!
And this time, it was the Southern War Zone!
Bai Zihe dared not delay, and immediately flew towards the headquarters of the Southern War Zone.
This distance...
Bai Zihe only took less than five minutes.
However, it was still too late!
Here, too, only dried corpses littered the ground, along with a faint, dark, and eerie aura. It was indeed the person Bai Zihe had guessed before.
"Not good!"
Bai Zihe suddenly thought of something, and his face contorted in panic.
