Chapter 187
A reckless fighting style in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm is still quite terrifying.
But what's even more astonishing is that Baili Han, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, was able to effortlessly destroy Duan Tianyi's illusion of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood while Duan Tianyi relentlessly pursued him with his Snow Soul Sword.
Click, click...
The blood pool was frozen, and a sword strike as cold as the moon cleaved it into dust.
laugh!
Baili Han had a cut on his shoulder, and blood stained his white clothes.
He could have avoided Duan Tianyi's attack, but in order to destroy the blood pool, he took the hit head-on.
"My little apprentice!"
The girl's soft, worried voice reached his ears.
The water barrier around the arena can block out outside sounds, but it's useless against Baili Han.
However, it wasn't that the Shui clan's barrier was useless; rather, he had already secretly used a forbidden symbiotic technique on himself and Wen Xin...
Baili Han voluntarily sacrificed himself to give Wen Xin his life and vitality; if she died, he would not be able to survive either.
Conversely, if he faces a life-or-death crisis, he can instantly drain his own life force and cultivation to nourish her weakened spirit, allowing her to continue living well.
No matter where or when, he could hear her whenever she called him.
He willingly submitted to her and was enslaved and driven by her.
This forbidden technique was known only to him; even the Supreme Elder couldn't see it.
He didn't tell her because he didn't want her to worry or feel sad, and even more so, he didn't want her to feel guilty.
He did everything willingly and without regret.
All she needs to do is be happy.
Baili Han turned his head, his gaze fixed on the audience seats through the water curtain.
When Wen Xin was injured, she suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with worry and unease.
"fine."
Knowing she couldn't hear him, Baili Han still softly said two words.
Immediately, the Snow Soul Sword twirled in the void, and Baili Han's cold eyes turned serious.
It was his fault for hurting her!
Therefore, Duan Tianyi deserves to die!
The white sword light was dazzling, and the sword energy crisscrossed. Every move Baili Han made carried a terrifying killing intent.
Even though the two were a whole realm apart, the white-robed youth was directly suppressing the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
puff!
Duan Tianyi's whisk was cut in two, and his body was cleaved in multiple places by the Snow Soul Sword, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds. Blood turned his red robe into a blood-soaked garment.
He knelt on one knee, veins bulging on his forehead, his face as pale as a ghost.
Fear and resentment raged in his mind, driving him to madness.
Why did he still lose to Baili Han despite sacrificing so much?
A late-stage Golden Core cultivator!!!
Utterly ridiculous!
Duan Tianyi's eyes were bloodshot, and he was in a frenzied, mad state.
No, he wants Baili Han dead, he absolutely must!
At this moment, Duan Tianyi didn't care about anything else; as long as Baili Han could die, he was willing to pay any price.
He wanted to show Wen Xin how foolish it was for her to give up on herself and choose Baili Han.
Wen Xin... give her back to him!
As the Snow Soul Sword slashed down, Duan Tianyi suddenly burst into maniacal laughter and summoned a Soul-Capturing Banner. Ten thousand ghosts roared out and rushed straight towards Baili Han to tear at him.
The entire arena instantly transformed into a ghostly realm, shrouded in a sinister and bloody aura, making it impossible for anyone outside to see what was happening inside.
The Water Clan Chief and the Sect Master of Jingfeng, among others, suddenly stood up, staring intently at the direction of the arena.
"The Soul-Capturing Banner... isn't that something used by evil cultivators?"
Why would Duan Tianyi possess a magical artifact from an evil cultivator?
"What else is he trying to do? If he can't beat him, is he going to use some evil cultivation technique to ambush Young Master Baili? Has he gone mad?"
"Look at him, does he still look like a righteous cultivator? He's already gone mad from his cultivation."
"True Lord Xuanming, Duan Tianyi is your disciple. Shouldn't you give everyone an explanation?"
Xuanming Zhenjun: "..."
To be honest, all he wants right now is to kill that idiot Duan Tianyi. Who would believe that?
Wen Xin frowned, her pretty face pale as she stared worriedly in the direction of the arena.
Lin Zhenjun handed her a bottle of pills and reassured her in a deep voice, "Don't worry, young lady, the young master will be fine. A Soul-Capturing Banner can't do anything to him."
Wen Xin gripped the pill bottle tightly, took a deep breath, poured out the pill, and swallowed it. At this moment, the only thing she could do was to stay healthy and not cause him any more worry.
She murmured, seemingly incredulous, "How could Duan Tianyi willingly stoop to becoming a heretical cultivator?"
Lin Zhenjun sneered, "What wouldn't a scoundrel like him do?"
His master shouldn't have taken him on the path to immortality back then, and even cleansed his marrow and tendons.
What an ungrateful bastard!
Wen Xin bit her lip and sighed deeply.
Fortunately, Wen Xin didn't have to wait too long. An hour later, thunderclouds suddenly descended from the sky, crackling with terrifying arcs of electricity.
"A lightning tribulation? How could there be a lightning tribulation?"
Boom!
Heavenly lightning struck the arena, one after another. The first lightning tribulation alone shattered the water barrier of the Shui clan, which was said to be unbreakable even by Mahayana stage cultivators.
"This tribulation lightning is incredibly powerful! A tribulation lightning for the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Fool, even if Duan Tianyi has some rare treasures that can boost his cultivation, he can't possibly reach the Integration Stage all at once."
"I think he's committed too many evil deeds, and this lightning tribulation is here to strike him dead!"
To avoid being affected by the lightning tribulation, several powerful cultivators at the Integration Stage had already erected a protective barrier in the audience area.
Judging from the power of the lightning tribulation, the elders of each immortal sect told the younger generation to retreat.
Otherwise, if they were accidentally struck by a lightning bolt, they could immediately "ascend"—turning into ashes and ascending to heaven!
Lin Zhenjun also protected Wen Xin and retreated to a distance.
"Grandpa Lin, is my little apprentice about to undergo the Nascent Soul stage tribulation?"
Unlike the others who hadn't witnessed the terrifying power of Baili Han's Golden Core stage tribulation, Lin Zhenjun nodded, "That should be it."
Wen Xin was even more worried and extremely helpless. "Why does he always undergo tribulation so suddenly? And with such a big commotion?"
"Young Master is a prodigy with unfathomable strength, so it's normal that his tribulation lightning is stronger than others."
Lin Zhenjun said with a mysterious confidence, "It's just a Nascent Soul Tribulation, nothing to you, young master. Don't worry, young lady."
Moreover, Lin Zhenjun felt that undergoing the tribulation of lightning here was not a bad idea.
Both the water curtain barrier and the ghost realm can significantly reduce the power of the lightning tribulation for the young master; making the most of everything!
Wen Xin: "..." Fine, I guess!
Soon the second tribulation of lightning struck, and this time the ghost realm was shattered.
Everyone could finally see what was happening on the arena.
A cold, blood-stained young man in white robes was seen wielding a celestial sword, cleaving through a lightning tribulation!
The peerless genius taught by Immortal Venerable Lingxiao is indeed awesome. While others use various magical treasures to dodge and resist the lightning tribulation, he simply drew his sword and started fighting! He was practically pointing at the lightning tribulation and yelling: "What can you, trash, do to me?"
That's incredibly arrogant!
Everyone swallowed hard, feeling that if this young man were to grow up, he would definitely become a more terrifying figure than the Celestial Venerable Lingxiao!
