Demon Subduing

The moon was bright and clear, reflected in the deep pool.

Having gone a long time without being fed, the fish that could eat were rarely given food, and they all became active, churning and leaping, competing for the fish food Bai Xuanling scattered every now and then.

Bai Xuanling's movements paused slightly. Then, she threw down all the fish food in her hand, slowly stood up, and gave a slight wave. The spirit sword on the table flew into her grasp.

"Since you've come, there's no need to hide any longer," Bai Xuanling's voice was calm. "That day, you severed your own arm to escape. That was my failure. But if you can leave today, then that would be my incompetence."

Bai Xuanling stood alone, moonlight shining upon her.

The next moment.

Four beams of black-red spiritual light erupted from all directions, their terrifying power charging straight at the formation.

The multiple layers of rotating formations were shattered in an instant, dissolving into streams of light. The residual shockwaves scattered, destroying most of the surrounding buildings.

Bai Xuanling's figure shifted slightly. With just a glance and a casual swing of her sword, she effortlessly dispersed the remaining shockwaves as if strolling in a courtyard.

Chu Xingchen remained with his eyes closed, lying quietly on the recliner, moonlight illuminating his slightly furrowed brow.

Bai Bo moved swiftly, not speaking, charging directly at Bai Xuanling.

Simultaneously, a hundred zhang behind Bai Bo, Xu Linglong drew her bow and released. Suddenly, countless black shadows blotted out the sky, directly covering the entire sect.

A ferocious smile appeared on Bai Xuanling's face. She raised her hand slightly, and her long sword slashed towards Bai Bo:

"A defeated opponent, coming today to seek humiliation again?"

Bai Bo did not dare to be overconfident. His figure suddenly transformed, and his robust form raised a fist to meet Bai Xuanling's sword strike imbued with extreme sword intent.

Boom!

Spiritual energy twisted and churned, blazing white spiritual power scattered outward.

The connecting corridor and the distant area were completely destroyed, the sword slash carving a trench several zhang deep.

Bai Bo's figure was forced back by the sword slash, yet his expression remained utterly calm.

The force was far lighter than during their previous clash. Although the Dao charm remained the same, the density and refinement of the spiritual power were nothing like before.

If this was the extent of her power, then the tables had turned. He alone would be enough to capture Bai Xuanling.

The rumors were indeed true. Bai Xuanling was indeed bound by some restriction, forced to suppress her spiritual power and realm.

Facing the sky-blotting onslaught of black spiritual arrows, Bai Xuanling gently closed her eyes and slowly exhaled.

Then.

She raised her sword.

As for techniques to quickly clear out weaker opponents, Bai Xuanling believed she wouldn't lose to anyone.

Facing one against hundreds, she was often that "one."

Using such crowd-clearing tactics against her was somewhat like showing off one's meager skill in the presence of a master!

"Shine Upon... All Living Beings."

Bai Xuanling's voice was ethereal as she raised the sword in her hand.

With just one sword stroke, brilliant light flowed, as if a bright moon had risen, returning to the heavens.

Sword intent cascaded like a waterfall, sweeping forward.

Bai Bo had just steadied himself when he charged at Bai Xuanling again.

He ignored the sword slash she sent forth, tanking it with his physical body, the brilliant light nearly scraping off a layer of his flesh.

“Ha!” Bai Bo roared in anger. The spiritual pressure in his left hand reached its peak, a red-black light blasted out, primal energy surging forth.

Even Bai Xuanling at her peak could not ignore this punch.

Although Bai Xuanling could block it, she would be powerless to split her attention and protect Chu Xingchen at that moment.

Bai Bo didn't understand why Chu Xingchen, from the moment of contact until now, remained lying on the recliner, motionless as if dead.

But regardless, he was only at the Body Unity realm now.

As long as Bai Bo could draw Bai Xuanling away for just a moment,

Xu Linglong's lethal killing move could head straight for Chu Xingchen. Even if he had some life-preserving methods, as long as they were triggered, it would confirm that the current Chu Xingchen had ventured here alone.

Zhong Su could then join forces with Chi Guo to deliver the fatal blow.

Once successful, they could retreat. Bai Xuanling was already a precarious figure; there was no need to be dead serious with her.

Bai Bo's expression turned solemn as he threw a punch straight at Bai Xuanling.

Just as Bai Bo predicted, facing this punch, Bai Xuanling could only raise her sword to block.

Boom!

Bai Bo looked slightly surprised. Bai Xuanling was actually sent flying by his punch, her figure rapidly retreating, leaving Chu Xingchen completely exposed in his original spot.

This was a force-dispelling technique... but didn't this equate to handing Chu Xingchen over to be killed?

He didn't even need Xu Linglong to follow up; he could seize this opening to take Chu Xingchen's life.

Bai Bo quickly seized this opportunity, raising his fist again.

The force was even fiercer than the punch aimed at Bai Xuanling.

Red-black energy overflowed from Bai Bo's body as he threw a world-shaking punch towards Chu Xingchen.

Chu Xingchen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling upon Bai Bo.

Bai Bo suddenly felt his body stall, feeling himself being violently repelled, as if he would be expelled from this world the next moment.

He didn't know what technique this was from Chu Xingchen, nor did he consider whether it might kill him on the spot.

Bai Bo only knew he had to throw this punch.

Even if he couldn't escape, he would drag Chu Xingchen down with him.

He had been holding in his frustration for too long.

"Raaaah!"

Bai Bo's body turned crimson red. He locked his divine sense entirely onto Chu Xingchen, ensuring he couldn't escape this punch.

But the next moment, the divine sense that had clearly captured Chu Xingchen suddenly could no longer detect him at all.

The figure of Chu Xingchen sitting on the recliner suddenly transformed into clear qi and drifted away.

Boom!

Bai Bo ignored it, his punch landing on the spot.

Whatever technique it was, a diversion or an illusion, the power of this punch was something Chu Xingchen would have to endure!

A beam of crimson light shot straight through the bright moon.

Yuzhou City no longer had a sect, only a deep cliff remaining.

Chu Xingchen's figure, by some unknown means, reappeared behind Bai Xuanling, breathing rapidly, brows tightly knit, eyes slightly narrowed.

Bai Bo looked up, forcibly ignoring the intense repulsive force on his body, intending to force Bai Xuanling aside again to give Xu Linglong an opening.

But the next moment, an unfamiliar Tribulation Transcension aura rose from behind him.

Immediately followed by the residual waves of an extremely terrifying spiritual energy clash.

Xu Linglong's voice transmission followed closely:

"It's not just Bai Xuanling! There are other Tribulation Transcension cultivators!"

Bai Bo's prepared upward charge halted. He glanced to the left.

Zhong Su's spiritual pressure boiled over. The one clashing with him was also a Tribulation Transcension cultivator; they were locked in battle over there.

No need to look to the right; it was the same with Chi Guo. The residual waves from the battle there were no weaker.

Each had their own exciting fight.

Bai Xuanling pointed her sword at Bai Bo, a provocative expression on her face:

"I'm quite used to fighting many with few, and I've basically never lost. Of course, in the past, I was the 'few.' Today, I'm the 'many.' Are you prepared?"

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you some good news."

As Bai Xuanling's words fell, a beam of light hurriedly descended from the sky.

Huang Miao landed in front of Bai Xuanling, spirit swords swirling around him, his imposing pressure bearing down menacingly on Bai Bo, revealing his peak Tribulation Transcension cultivation.

Bai Xuanling grinned:

"Your opponent isn't me. It's this Huang Xiao'er. Defeat him, and then you'll have a chance to challenge me. Consider it a warm-up for you."

One against four?

Five against four, with one able to spectate!

Bai Bo was momentarily stunned. Why was Huang Miao here?

Even for an ambush, traveling incognito from Pudu River to here would take two days.

How could such news from the Western Continent not be relayed?

Huang Miao lowered his gaze, glancing down at Bai Bo below:

"Tonight, we eradicate demons."
