You are quite impressive, you must be the Lord of the Shadow Isles, right

Xiong Fen trembled in shock, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the terrifying cave.

Even though he knew it was an ally, the sheer horror of that punch left him frozen in place for a long moment, unable to utter a word.

Behind him, however,

a bricklayer suddenly widened his eyes!

His gaze locked onto the figure who had thrown the punch.

His body tensed as he stammered out, voice quivering!

“Th-that! That person… that must be Bai Qiyu, Lord Bai!”

Lord Bai?!

Xiong Fen shuddered at those words!

Though of lowly status, he had heard rumors that only the disciples of "The Master" were addressed with such reverence.

Could this truly be one of The Master’s personal disciples?

The staggering thought surged in his mind, and Xiong Fen turned back nervously!

“R-really?!”

The bricklayer, equally awestruck, nodded firmly.

“No mistake about it!”

“When I was out collecting demon corpses, I once had the honor of witnessing Lord Bai’s prowess from a hundred miles away. That fist technique—I’d never forget it in my lifetime!”

The hushed words sent waves of shock through the severely wounded companions and Xiong Zhong.

To think…

their rescuer would be Lord Bai himself!

With one of The Master’s personal disciples here, no enemy stood a chance!

As the group watched in exhilaration,

a terrifying surge of Daoist power suddenly spread across the airship. The surroundings grew unbearably hot—even the snow blanketing the heavens could no longer provide relief.

Everyone felt as if trapped in a sea of flames!

The scorching heat stunned them all, an overwhelming pressure bearing down, suffocating like never before. They whipped their heads around in alarm.

There, the elegant young nobleman stepped forward leisurely.

With each stride, the heat intensified!

In the blink of an eye,

the snow around the airship melted, waves of heat shimmering visibly in the air!

What terrifying power—even the natural forces of the Froststar couldn’t withstand it!

The crowd gasped, breath caught in their throats.

Yet the nobleman merely smiled, descending gracefully to the ground.

The moment his cloud-patterned boots touched the ice, it began to melt. His gaze settled on Bai Qiyu, a light chuckle echoing through the skies, brimming with unmistakable delight. For the first time, a spark of battle intent flickered in his eyes.

“Not bad. You’re not bad at all.”

“If they call you ‘Lord,’ you must be the master of Dark Shadow Island, yes? Your cultivation… just barely qualifies you to face me.”

“Go all out! Use every trick you have—entertain this young master!”

The nobleman’s demeanor shifted abruptly, his words dripping with supreme arrogance.

Despite his youthful beauty, his aura was as ancient and detached as a ten-thousand-year-old monster. Every gesture radiated absolute confidence, his mere presence exuding invincibility.

Yet, as he spoke,

Bai Qiyu completely ignored the dramatic atmosphere, instead muttering to himself while counting on his fingers.

“Half an hour to get here, half an hour back… plus shopping time… gotta wrap this up in an hour and a half…”

The nobleman’s eyes flashed with fury.

“You dare look down on me?!”

“To act so carelessly before this young master—if you don’t fight seriously now, you’ll never get another chance!”

Seemingly snapped out of his thoughts, Bai Qiyu blinked up in confusion.

“Oh, you’re the big bad guy?”

“You’ve got a point. Better finish this quick.”

With that, he threw a straightforward punch!

“Normal Punch!”

Another blizzard-like force erupted, even more terrifying than before. Before the fist even landed, the airship trembled violently!

Xiong Fen and the others gaped, hope surging in their eyes.

“He’s won! This punch decides it!”

But then—

The nobleman remained utterly calm, retaliating with a palm strike of his own!

Instantly,

a wave of scorching wind, no less formidable, surged forth!

Where it passed, ice and snow vaporized!

Fist and palm collided—the earth quaked!

Blizzard and heat clashed in a chaotic dance, neither side yielding. Frost melted mid-air, shards of ice raining down like blades, while scalding droplets shot forth like arrows!

“BOOM!!!”

The deafening shockwave sent both combatants standing firm—dead even!

Chunks of ice and water cascaded from the airship as Xiong Fen and the others stared, dumbfounded.

“This…”

Witnessing the collision of forces that shook the heavens, everyone was stunned. None had expected this young nobleman to be so formidable.

Under their shocked gazes,

the nobleman smirked dismissively, as if unimpressed.

Bai Qiyu, however, looked down at his tracksuit—now singed and torn by the heat and ice—and his expression twisted with anguish. His usual dead-fish eyes suddenly blazed with fury!

His entire aura transformed in an instant!

Seeing this, the nobleman grinned wider, taunting him like a child provoking an ant.

“Good, good!”

“That’s the look! Show me everything you’ve got—amuse me with your life’s work!”

Such insane arrogance left Xiong Fen and the others speechless.

They couldn’t fathom that the world-shaking clash moments ago hadn’t even been their full power?!

As they watched in stunned silence,

Bai Qiyu slowly raised his head, his gaze deadly serious.

“Serious Punch.”

A seemingly ordinary punch from the waist was unleashed once more, yet this time it carried a terrifying thousand-zhang-long fist shadow, nearly blotting out the sky!

In an instant, Xiong Fen and the others paled in shock!

Even though the punch wasn’t aimed at them, the aftershocks would still strike their flying vessel!

Almost immediately.

Everyone mustered every ounce of their strength, frantically carrying their squad leader as they dashed toward a nearby towering peak, as if fleeing an apocalyptic disaster!

Even the usually composed noble young master couldn’t hide the excitement on his face!

He channeled terrifying Dao power into his palms to block the attack!

"BOOM!"

A deafening explosion shook the heavens and earth, and a boundless blizzard engulfed the surroundings!

Even after taking cover behind the mountain.

The severely injured Elder Xiong and the others were still grazed by the shockwave, nearly flung into the raging tempest!

When they turned to look back.

All they could see was a sky filled with chaotic energy waves, snow-capped peaks collapsing like wheat fields, and ice layers cracking like spiderwebs—thousands of miles of land had been ravaged!

From a snow-capped peak a hundred miles away.

A sudden explosion rang out as the noble young master, blood trickling from his lips, emerged with a wild laugh!

"Hahaha…"

"You’re amazing! In all these years, you’re the first to injure me! Truly impressive, young one—you’ve caught my interest!"

That world-shattering punch earlier had failed to seriously wound this young man.

Just what kind of existence was he?!

Merely witnessing his terrifying aura from afar and hearing his laughter echoing across the land, Xiong Fen and his son were left breathless, utterly awestruck, not daring to make a sound!

Before they could even process their thoughts.

The two terrifying figures clashed once more, as the noble young master gathered boundless Dao power into a single palm strike that made the heavens tremble—sending Bai Qiyu crashing into the icy ground!

A crater hundreds of miles wide and unfathomably deep caved in!

Standing at the edge of the abyss, the young man threw his head back and laughed maniacally!

"Hahaha…"

Listening to that bone-chilling, maddened laughter, the Xiong father and son turned ashen.

The bricklayers behind them were so petrified they stiffened, every one of them sensing an ominous premonition—none had expected this man to be so overwhelmingly powerful!

Could it be… even Bai Qiyu had been…?

The moment that thought flickered through their minds—

A furious roar erupted from the depths of the crater!

"My tracksuit?!"

"Fifteen bucks, gone!"

Xiong Fen and the others shuddered at the sound.

Even the noble young master froze in surprise!

All eyes locked onto the pit as Bai Qiyu suddenly burst forth, shooting out like a projectile!

His outer robes had been torn to shreds, now clutched in his hand, replaced by a form-fitting cape that seemed to invigorate him.

But what truly drew attention was the drastic shift in Bai Qiyu’s demeanor.

Gone was the lazy, dead-fish-eyed expression—now his gaze was sharp and cold, his stance steady, radiating boundless fury as if he had become an entirely different person!
