"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
The old scholar, with his white hair and beard, fell backwards.
The sounds of flesh being torn apart rang out simultaneously.
Countless students from Haoran Academy who had joined forces with him to draw their swords were all neatly and uniformly split in two from their brows to their groins.
Bai Cang's sword strike not only killed the old Confucian scholar, the "Master of the Sword Classic".
And incidentally, they also killed one-ninth of the students from Haoran Prefecture.
They were all to be buried alive with him.
"You heretics and evil forces, my Haoran Manor swears to be your sworn enemy!"
Dong Tianchu's face showed a look of fury, but his eyes also carried a hint of inexplicable guilt and self-reproach.
He knew very well that the old Confucian scholar known as "Master of the Sword Scripture," and the students of Haoran Academy who practiced the "Sword Scripture," had actually died because of him.
If it weren't for his momentary hesitation, the old scholar, who was Bai Cang's "external demon," wouldn't have been so panicked and acted hastily.
Unlike him, the other teachers of Haoran Mansion were not completely caught off guard and allowed Bai Cang to succeed with a single sword strike.
It was precisely because of his hesitant attitude that the morale of his own men was shaken.
This gave Bai Cang an opportunity to strike, and with one sword, he terrified everyone.
However, Dong Tianshu absolutely could not admit that this was his own problem.
Otherwise, the morale of the entire Haoran Prefecture would truly collapse!
Moreover, he has never had the habit of admitting his mistakes.
Even if the whole world is wrong, it can never be the fault of their Haoran Mansion!
Thus, under this mix of guilt and fear of being discovered, Dong Tianchu was filled with even greater embarrassment and anger.
He had clearly developed a willingness to fight to the death.
"The Master's fire burns through my frail body; what joy is there in living, what sorrow in dying? Pity the people of this world, for they suffer so much..."
A desolate yet ancient proverb resounded.
Dong Tianshu spat out a mouthful of pale yellow immortal energy.
"Snap!"
The next moment.
A sound like shattering glass rang out.
The sword mark on Dong Tianchu's chest disappeared instantly, along with his human emotions.
An inhuman aura spread out, and Dong Tianchu's momentum surged instantly.
It seemed to have transformed into the ruthless and mindless "Heaven," and with a slow, forceful palm strike, it was as if it had lifted up the entire world.
"Doctor..."
"How could it come to this? How could it come to this!"
Upon seeing this, a dashing young scholar in official robes couldn't help but burst into tears.
"The great master sacrificed his life, breaking his own heart and spirit to become the heavens. We must never let him down!"
Before he finished speaking, his entire figure suddenly transformed into a sky full of pure white light, merging with the "sky" that Dong Tianshu had transformed into.
"Seventh Master..."
"We must not let the sacrifices of the First Master and the Seventh Master be in vain..."
"Even if it means mutual destruction, we must not let that villain get away with it!"
"Let's fight that villain!"
Seeing this scene.
The students of Haoran Academy were filled with fervor and shouted the slogan "Let's perish together!"
Only a few teachers remained, and their eyes all flashed with a mysterious look.
This is because that "Seventh Master" was one of the "culprits".
If he and "Master of the Sword Scripture" hadn't transformed into Bai Cang's "Outer Demons," none of this would have happened.
Their Haoran Manor would not have suffered this calamity today.
Dong Tianshu should also bear due responsibility for his inappropriate response.
Therefore, in their view, this was something that Dong Tianshu and "Master Qi" should do.
They don't deserve any sympathy, let alone being moved.
However, the "sacrifice" of Dong Tianshu and the "Seven Masters" did indeed awaken the fighting spirit of the students and dispel their fear of Bai Cang.
As the beneficiaries, they naturally wouldn't take the initiative to expose it.
After all, they were all trained under the Haoran Mansion system.
"The fault lies not with me, but with the whole world."
This idea has long been imprinted on their mindset, like a steel stamp.
So they had no choice but to go along with the mistake and cooperate with Dong Tianshu to attack Bai Cang!
"What you're saying is all 'Ming Cult's' vocabulary!"
Bai Cang mentally scoffed, but didn't show it at all.
Instead, they choose the response that best fits their current "persona".
"The Sutra of the Interaction Between Heaven and Man? It's just a low-level trick!"
He stood in the sky, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
As they spoke, a purer, more holy white light suddenly shone through the heavens and earth that had been shrouded in a righteous aura.
Boundless time surrounded Bai Cang's figure, as if it had already divided the place where he stood into thousands of completely different times and spaces.
In every time and space, there is a "Bai Cang" who holds up a ray of white light in his palm.
As the white light flickered, a terrifying aura of destruction and annihilation spread out.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, thousands of "White Cang" simultaneously pressed down with their hands, and thousands of white lights intertwined to form a sky curtain that descended.
He seemed like an unparalleled immortal lord, crushing heaven and earth with a mere wave of his hand.
Where the sword light enveloped the sky, all the rules of time and space, the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth, and everything intangible and intangible, were annihilated.
"not good!"
Seeing this scene.
The cultivators of Haoran Mansion trembled violently in their hearts and couldn't help but feel despair.
Among high-level cultivators, especially those who have reached the Ninth Tribulation Dao Lord level, the difference in strength is like an insurmountable chasm.
This is a gap that cannot be bridged by sheer numbers.
Even if the entire Haoran Manor is united and determined.
However, if Dong Tianshu cannot withstand the opponent's killing intent, it will not change anything.
"Could it be that the legacy of Haoran Mansion is truly destined to end here today?"
Seeing the sword light curtain that Bai Cang pressed down with his hand, the cultivators of Haoran Mansion all felt some regret, regretting that they could not be more decisive.
The other "masters," in particular, wished they could turn back time.
If they could choose again, they would never follow any "tradition" and would hand over the two "external demons" to Bai Cang without hesitation.
This was done in exchange for the "peaceful coexistence" between Haoran Mansion and Bai Cang.
But now it's too late, nothing can be done.
If Dong Tianchu can't hold them off, they'll probably be doomed today!
"Duh!"
At this moment, Dong Tianshu was the most composed person in Haoran Mansion.
He had long since lost all emotions, so naturally he wouldn't feel any "fear," "dread," or "regret."
He formed a sword seal with his hands, and his eyes shot out a dazzling divine light.
Like two divine swords that split the heavens and the earth, they cleaved open the endless space and time before them.
"Upright and righteous spirit, the sword of righteous principles!"
With a soft shout, Dong Tianchu seemed to have transformed into a "heavenly sword," merging with the vast sky.
With a single sword strike, one becomes one with heaven and earth, merging with the universe.
He transformed heaven and earth into his own sword, and with the essence of Confucianism and Legalism as the core, he reconstructed another space-time.
Unless Bai Cang can use his supreme killing power to cleave through the heavens and earth and spacetime within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles with a single sword strike.
Otherwise, no attack could possibly harm him in the slightest.
As long as Dong Tianshu stands firm, Haoran Prefecture will naturally remain as stable as Mount Tai!
