"What... what exactly is going on?"
The eldest elder of the Bai family was the first to lose his composure. It was as if he had been pushed by an invisible force, and he jumped up from his spot in an instant.
His eyes were wide open like copper bells, bloodshot, staring straight at Bai Ying in the arena, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
He asked himself countless times, "Did I really see all of this with my own eyes?"
That's Guo Lintian! A super strongman who has already stepped into the Nascent Soul stage. Just now, he displayed his divine power in front of everyone, defeating a group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators without any chance to fight back. His powerful strength and domineering demeanor made everyone present feel awe.
But now, this powerful and awe-inspiring figure is so vulnerable and easily defeated in front of Bai Ying.
What level of cultivation does Bai Ying possess? She's so young, how could she be so strong!
What's even more unbelievable is that Guo Lintian is now kneeling on both knees, his body trembling slightly, his face full of fear and pleading, begging Bai Ying for mercy.
The eldest elder of the Bai family felt his head buzzing. He had never dreamed of such a scene, not even in his most absurd and bizarre dreams, but now it was truly happening right before his eyes!
"How could this happen?" Bai Di's voice trembled involuntarily, her lips quivered slightly, and her whole body swayed gently.
Her fingers began to tremble uncontrollably, as if an electric current was coursing through her body. Her eyes widened as she stared intently at Bai Ying, her gaze filled with inquiry and resentment.
She frantically searched her mind for the reason why Bai Ying was able to defeat Guo Lintian. She desperately hoped that, as Hua Mujian had said before, Bai Ying was cheating.
It is said that in the Lingyin Sect where Bai Ying used to be, there were many Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If those powerful cultivators gave her an attack talisman, then it seems that there is a slight possibility that she could win this battle.
But even Bai Di himself couldn't convince himself of this idea...
On the Bai family's arena, when Bai Ying competed against Hua Mujian, the rules clearly prohibited the use of attack talismans, yet Bai Ying still easily defeated Hua Mujian.
Now, Guo Lintian is even more terrifying. He is so powerful that if Bai Ying really violates the rules by using the talisman, Guo Lintian will definitely expose her on the spot.
Bai Di felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
A burning flame of jealousy raged within her, threatening to consume her entirely.
She kept screaming in her heart: How could this be? How is this possible? Such a powerful figure is kneeling in front of Bai Ying. In this way, won't Bai Ying's status in the family soar to the sky and leave everyone else far behind?
And what do I have to compare with her with?
Thinking of this, Bai Di clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, leaving bright red marks.
She really hoped that Guo Lintian could kill Bai Ying! He looked so powerful, how could he be defeated by Bai Ying?
However, just as everyone was still reeling from the shock of Guo Lintian kneeling before Bai Ying, and before they could fully process what had happened, a sudden turn of events occurred. The moment Guo Lintian's knees touched the ground, his previously bowed and seemingly submissive head abruptly lifted, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. His hand shot out like lightning, a dart appearing in his grasp, which he hurled fiercely at Bai Ying.
Under the sunlight, the dart emitted an eerie black glow. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was coated with a deadly poison.
Guo Lintian's hatred for Bai Ying was already like a surging tide, almost engulfing him. This dart was his last trump card, and the deadly poison on it was something he had painstakingly obtained and refined from the mysterious and perilous Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Even a trace of this deadly poison would be fatal, even to a powerful individual far surpassing him.
"Go to hell!" Guo Lintian gritted his teeth and squeezed out the two words, a sinister smile on his face.
Witnessing this sudden reversal, the crowd gasped in astonishment. The once quiet place erupted into chaos, with exclamations and whispers mingling together like a raging storm.
"That dart is a magical artifact forged from deep-sea cold iron, incredibly hard and indestructible! I never expected Guo Lintian to be such a despicable villain. What should we do now?" An old man's face was full of anxiety, and his voice trembled slightly with tension.
Guo Lintian ignored the gasps and accusations around him, his cruel smile growing even more intense. In his view, no man is without ruthlessness; in this clash of titans, only the survivor is the true victor. What did it matter whether the methods were honorable or not? He was certain that his fatal blow would kill Bai Ying without a doubt.
However, at this critical moment of life and death, Bai Ying remained completely calm. She simply raised her hand, and a ball of blue flame shot out like a nimble bird.
This blue flame was extremely strange. The moment it appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly, and the temperature plummeted. The aura it emitted seemed to carry a mysterious power from ancient times, chilling people to the bone.
The blue flame was incredibly fast, like a blue lightning bolt, and struck Guo Lintian before the dart could reach Bai Ying.
Guo Lintian didn't care about the power of the blue flame at all. How powerful could a flame be? He had even worn a fire-resistant suit that could extinguish flames before the competition.
