A strange smile appeared on Geng Di's lips. Upon seeing this, Bai Xiao and Li Huayu were both startled.

"not good!"

As the white mist emanating from Geng Di's body grew thicker, the cracks on his skin also increased.

Amidst the billowing white mist, a scene unfolded that shocked Bai Xiao and his companion.

The illusion that Pear Blossom Rain had just dispelled suddenly reappeared, and the blood-stained sky once again filled their vision.

Several purple suns emitted a dazzling light, and the sound of the mental barrier shattering once again reached Bai Xiao's ears.

"Damn it, that woman is a complete waste!"

Bai Xiao cursed inwardly, he hadn't expected that Pear Blossom Rain would fail even when using her divine power.

But at this point, he couldn't care less about anything else.

If their consciousness were completely invaded by the other party after a while, the two of them would become fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of the other party.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiao's expression became even more ferocious, staring fiercely ahead.

"Do you think this will stop me?"

"wishful thinking!!"

The next moment, ignoring his own consciousness beginning to suffer damage, he mustered all his strength and slashed the sword in the direction of Geng Di.

"Don't!"

Behind her, seeing that Bai Xiao had chosen to fight back instead of protecting her sea of ​​consciousness, Li Huayu's expression changed drastically. She had already come to some understanding.

But it was too late.

Just when Bai Xiao thought that his sword would cut the person in front of him in two, he was shocked to see that the man opposite him simply raised his hand.

"Thump—"

With a loud bang, crimson energy wrapped around Geng Di's arm as he gently received the sword strike.

"This...this is impossible!"

Bai Xiao's pupils dilated in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

His divine authority seemed to have failed at this moment.

"Wait, it's broken..."

But by the time he realized what was happening, Geng Di's mental illusion had already taken full effect.

"Crackling"

With a crisp sound, the mental barrier above Bai Xiao's sea of ​​consciousness shattered little by little.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted from Bai Xiao's sea of ​​consciousness, and the barrier protecting his sea of ​​consciousness finally collapsed.

In an instant, it felt as if a giant hammer had struck Bai Xiao’s head.

Then, the crimson pollution instantly seeped into it, and countless streams of energy rushed into the sea of ​​consciousness like wild horses, wreaking havoc.

"Mom... Mom!"

Bai Xiao saw stars before his eyes and his consciousness went haywire.

The illusionary energy coiled around his soul like a venomous snake, constantly eroding his mind.

Just as his consciousness was like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the brink of collapse, about to be completely consumed by the ink-thick illusion.

Suddenly, Pear Blossom Rain's voice transmission rang in his ears.

"Wake up, quick!"

Although it was just a normal telepathic transmission, Bai Xiao's gradually sinking consciousness was awakened for a moment.

In that instant, driven by his instincts, he bit the tip of his tongue.

The blood and semen dripped out and immediately burst into flames.

An immense surge of energy erupted from the depths of Bai Xiao's body like a volcanic eruption, instantly converging along his meridians onto the longsword in his hand.

The power unleashed after the burning of his essence brought Bai Xiao a moment of clarity.

Then, the longsword in his hand emitted a dazzling light.

Bai Xiao roared, his longsword flashing like lightning across the night sky, carrying unparalleled power as it slashed fiercely at the rampant illusionary pollution.

Wherever the sword's edge passed, the illusionary contamination vanished like snow meeting the blazing sun.

"Um?"

Geng Di was stunned; he hadn't expected the other person to be able to stay conscious under such circumstances.

"ah--"

Bai Xiao roared to the sky, and his longsword emitted a resounding hum that shook the heavens and earth.

With his essence and blood burning, the power of the peak Dragon Marrow Realm surged once more, and a white sword light, as bright as the blazing sun, slashed out diagonally.

"open!!"

The spiritual energy surged, and within the sword light, stars seemed to twinkle and cranes soared, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The sword light was as thin as silk; wherever it touched, the illusion shattered like bubbles, revealing the outline of the real world.

At this moment, the strength of the leaders of the four major righteous sects in the Central Abyss Realm was fully revealed.

The mental illusion was shattered, and the pollution that had seeped into Bai Xiao and Li Huayu's consciousness gradually faded away.

"puff--"

Bai Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning slightly pale.

Although he successfully escaped danger, the damage caused by burning his essence blood was very serious, and his sea of ​​consciousness also suffered considerable damage.

"Sect Leader Bai, how are you?"

Pear blossoms rained down on Bai Xiao's side.

"It's nothing."

Bai Xiao casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took out a few pills from his storage bag, and popped them into his mouth.

"I never expected this, I really never expected this."

Geng Di's voice came through, with a hint of praise in her tone.

Bai Xiao and the other looked over, their eyes filled with vigilance.

"This is……"

Pear blossoms in the rain, her brows furrowed slightly.

At this moment, many parts of Geng Di's body were completely ruptured, and even his entire right arm had disappeared.

"I really didn't expect that you could have such power without using the power of the God of Desire."

Geng Di praised it.

Bai Xiao dared not relax for a moment and stared intently into the other person's eyes.

"What you just used... was also divine power?"

"Ha ha."

Geng Di smiled.

"You guys are really perceptive."
