Chapter 484 - 175: Shadow Kill, Level 6
The Shadow in the Painting could only last for an hour. Once that time was up, it would disappear completely.
They would also return to their initial positions.
There was no time for talk.
The fifty-odd people present were all at the Void Realm, and Qi Huang Taoist and Abbot Xuanzhen were even at the Void Realm Peak.
Their combined strength was more than enough to overwhelm and kill Shen Bai in an instant.
Abbot Xuanzhen’s gaze turned cold. "Kill him!"
The moment his voice fell, all the Void Realm masters present struck.
Every single one of them unleashed their most powerful attack.
Shen Bai’s Swordsmanship and Fist Technique were powerful, but even he couldn’t instantly kill his opponents while facing an assault from so many Void Realm masters.
Neither Abbot Xuanzhen nor Qi Huang Taoist made a move. They watched with cold detachment, their gazes occasionally flickering toward Piaoxu.
They had another objective: to slay Piaoxu.
The Hundred Truths Remains were for them and them alone; Xinhua Academy absolutely could not be allowed to obtain it.
Since Piaoxu had yet to make a move, they would simply wait and see.
The torrent of attacks surged forward, reaching Shen Bai in the blink of an eye.
Just then, Shen Bai, who had been completely still, finally moved.
’It’s true I can’t kill one with every strike. Besides, there are two masters at the Void Transformation Peak. If I can’t instantly eliminate a portion of them first, I’m afraid death will be my only reward.’
’But that isn’t a huge problem.’
Executing Divine Thousand Miles, Shen Bai dissolved into an afterimage and vanished from sight.
The attacks hit empty air. A massive cloud of dust rose, and the terrifying aftershocks completely destroyed the patch of woods.
Shen Bai hovered in mid-air, Longsword in hand, his robes fluttering.
"Dodging?"
Abbot Xuanzhen said faintly, "You can dodge for a time, but can you dodge for a lifetime? You’re bound to make a mistake eventually."
With that said, the fifty-odd Void Realm masters once again prepared to concentrate their attacks.
But just then, the corner of Shen Bai’s mouth lifted into a smirk.
"You think you’re worthy of making me dodge?"
As his voice fell, Shen Bai raised his left hand.
Blackness swirled around his left hand, like the night descending.
One after another, shadows floated behind Shen Bai, twisting like demonic specters.
Thirty-two shadows, emanating a terrifying aura that would make anyone shrink back in fear.
Shen Bai said faintly, "Then I’ll just kill thirty-two people first."
The moment he finished speaking, the thirty-two shadows struck in unison.
Shen Bai had pushed the Clone function of Shadow Kill to its absolute limit, with utterly terrifying results.
Each shadow represented one of Shen Bai’s most powerful attacks.
In the blink of an eye, thirty-two Void Realm masters became corpses and collapsed to the ground.
The scene had unfolded so quickly that no one had time to react.
They were sent to the Yellow Springs before they could even feel a thing.
"What is this power?" Qi Huang Taoist’s eyes widened.
What had just transpired happened far too quickly. Even they hadn’t been able to react before thirty-two people were dead.
These were the elites of the Wild Taoist Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect. Shen Bai’s actions had undoubtedly struck a fatal blow to their main artery, causing them to suffer disastrous losses.
"Kill him!"
Abbot Xuanzhen could no longer restrain himself.
The Wild Buddha Sect had been crippled in that single exchange.
He no longer cared about Piaoxu; he had to kill Shen Bai first and deal with the rest later.
As for Piaoxu, it wouldn’t be too late to deal with her after they killed Shen Bai.
"Are you two still not going to make a move?!" Qi Huang Taoist roared.
Piaoxu remained perfectly calm. Hearing his words, she covered her mouth and giggled. "I’m on it now, don’t be so impatient."
Lu Cheng tore open his shirt, and streaks of red runes appeared, hovering over his muscles.
This time, the dozen or so surviving Void Realm masters, as well as Abbot Xuanzhen and the others, finally attacked without holding anything back.
A solemn expression appeared on Shen Bai’s face.
’This is perhaps the most dangerous battle I’ve faced since entering this circle.’
Never mind the others; just the two masters at the Void Realm Peak were enough for Shen Bai to sense a whiff of danger.
But before that, Shen Bai decided to start with the weaker ones.
A dozen streams of blood-red Sword Qi, imbued with the effects of all of Shen Bai’s Divine Powers, slashed across the necks of the dozen or so remaining Void Realm masters.
The next moment, the heads of these dozen masters hit the ground, and they became corpses.
By this point, the attacks from Abbot Xuanzhen and the others had arrived.
Abbot Xuanzhen’s palms began to glow with a black light as he thrust them toward Shen Bai.
A faint whimpering sound emanated from the black light, chilling one to the bone.
Qi Huang Taoist wielded a Peach Wood Sword, summoning bolts of Yin Thunder that completely enveloped Shen Bai.
Each bolt of Yin Thunder was as thick as a bowl.
Piaoxu, in turn, brandished a silk ribbon that exuded a pink mist. A single breath of it would leave one dazed and confused.
As for Lu Cheng, the red runes covered his entire body, causing him to swell to twice his size. He pressed forward like a mountain.
The light of the Flawless Ten Layers Body erupted from Shen Bai as he simultaneously activated every Divine Power he could muster.
Sword Qi, Buddha’s Light, Dao Text, shadows, Arrays, Water Flow...
Shen Bai pushed all of his Divine Powers to their absolute limit.
The attacks from both sides collided in an instant.
In that instant, an unbelievably massive roar echoed throughout the entire Space.
The surrounding landscape was obliterated by the aftershock, leaving nothing but a scene of utter ruin as far as the eye could see.
This was a testament to how terrifying the collision of their attacks had been.
Dust and smoke billowed everywhere.
Within the dust cloud, Shen Bai’s figure exuded an aura that was bizarre beyond belief.
A trickle of blood ran down the corner of his mouth.
"Truly impressive."
Lu Cheng of the Academy said in astonishment, "An attack of our level merely injured him? He’s fighting two realms above his own. I’d love to study his body."
"So that’s all it amounted to."
Abbot Xuanzhen said slowly, "One more strike and he’ll surely die on the spot. His injuries are severe... Hmm? What is this Recovery method!"
A look of horror appeared in everyone’s eyes.
They could only watch as Shen Bai wiped the blood from his mouth. A green light flared up around his body, and his injuries instantly healed, leaving him good as new.
"To recover so quickly from that level of damage..."
Qi Huang Taoist’s face was grim. "If we do not eliminate this man, he will surely bring about our complete annihilation!"
"What bullshit are you all spouting?"
Shen Bai slowly rose, his eyes gradually beginning to gleam with excitement.
"You should all be pleased. You’ve actually managed to get me excited."
"I haven’t been this excited in a long time. And it’s been a long time since I’ve been injured."
"Void Transformation Peak?"
"That last wave of attacks... I suddenly came to a realization."
Shen Bai’s fingers brushed across the blade of the Cold Moon Sword, and killing intent surged in his eyes.
"You... can be killed!"
