I Can Extract Divine Power

Shen Bai said slowly, "We’ll go kill that General Deceitful Beast, and then kill your father."

In the distance, the battle Yao Long and his men were fighting raged on.

Now that they had finished talking, it was time to deal with the Demonic Forces.

Red Makeup said hesitantly, "Sir, your power is immense, and you have entered this place several times. I’m afraid that if you make a move, you’ll awaken my father prematurely."

Sunset City is a place of rules, and it follows them. Her father wouldn’t appear unless a certain threshold of power was crossed.

But Shen Bai was different.

Sunset City was already familiar with Shen Bai’s aura. The red lanterns from before were a symbol of that.

Red Makeup was worried it would bring about a terrible outcome.

Shen Bai narrowed his eyes. "If you wish to become my Deceitful Beast, there is something you need to understand."

Red Makeup froze. "What is it?"

This time, it wasn’t Shen Bai who answered, but Amber, who had appeared once again.

Amber lifted her delicate face, putting on the air of a senior. "Whatever the Master says is right. Whatever the Master does is good. When the Master gives an order, we need only execute it."

"You must trust the Master unconditionally, especially in all things. Whatever the Master wants, we must give it without question."

Red Makeup was utterly stunned.

’Is he really taking it this far?’

She truly hadn’t expected such a creed.

"Understand?" Shen Bai asked, his eyes narrowed.

Red Makeup could feel an oppressive pressure emanating from Shen Bai, leaving her breathless. She couldn’t help but squeeze her thighs together.

"I understand."

She said nothing more, as if she had taken every one of Amber’s words to heart.

"Let’s go."

Shen Bai gripped Cold Moon and stood up.

Red Makeup followed behind Shen Bai. Together, they left the teahouse and vanished at the end of the street.

...

The battle was still raging.

Using the power of the Array Token, Yao Long and his men had the upper hand.

By now, the disciples from Xinhua Academy had all been annihilated.

The only ones left standing were Abbot Xuanzhen, the Vice Dean, and Qi Huang Taoist.

Qi Huang Taoist wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a cruel and tyrannical glint in his eyes. "Impressive. Worthy of the Observatory’s Array Token. Your resources certainly run deep. But it looks like your time is almost up."

Ahead, the auras of Yao Long and his men were gradually weakening.

Although the Array Token was strong, it ultimately had a time limit.

Lasting for half an hour was already impressive enough.

If there had been only one Void Realm Peak cultivator here, they would have killed him long ago.

But they were facing three.

Even though Abbot Xuanzhen and his allies were all injured, they had already recovered seventy or eighty percent in the time they’d been talking.

In contrast, the time on Yao Long’s Array Token was about to run out.

Yao Long and the other members of the Observatory remained calm, as if they weren’t afraid in the slightest.

The Vice Dean leaned on his staff, which was wreathed in black Qi. "Aren’t you afraid to die?"

"We are," said Zhang He, the Leader of Division B.

"Then why aren’t you panicking?" the Vice Dean asked, swinging his staff.

Endless plumes of black smoke filled the sky, coalescing into the shape of one skull after another.

Zhang He sneered. "Lord Shen is the Prefecture Chief of the Observatory. He is our leader. He wouldn’t send us here to die for nothing."

"So confident?"

Abbot Xuanzhen said scornfully, "I’m afraid he has his hands full right now."

A Buddha’s Radiant Palm shot toward them.

Yao Long and his men used the Array Token to dissipate it harmlessly.

The aura on one of the Observatory members vanished, and he sagged, looking drained.

"Time’s up."

A savage expression appeared on Qi Huang Taoist’s face as Talisman Paper flew wildly around him. "Kill these dogs! Then we’ll find that animal Shen Bai and slaughter him!"

They had already lost too much. If they failed today, they would never have another chance to turn the tables.

At the very least, they could kill this group and recoup some of their losses.

Yao Long’s expression grew grave. "Everyone, keep wearing them down! Lord Shen must have run into something incredibly important. We’ll buy him some more time."

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone roared in affirmation. Not a single one backed down.

Retreating was out of the question.

There are only members of the Observatory who die in battle, never ones who retreat.

"Everyone, obliterate them!"

Behind Abbot Xuanzhen, beams of Buddha’s Light emerged, coalescing into a hundred massive, luminous hands.

The skulls the Vice Dean had summoned began to devour one another, merging into a colossal skull that seemed to fill the sky.

A layer of black water coated the Peach Wood Sword in Qi Huang Taoist’s hand. As the liquid swirled, it gave off a nauseating stench.

The three attacks surged forward with terrifying might, as if they could destroy the very heavens and earth.

All the Observatory members present felt a terrifying pressure bear down on them.

’So this is the true power of the Void Realm Peak?’

Yao Long gritted his teeth. "Everyone, hold them back!"

Everyone pushed the Qi in their bodies to the absolute limit, using the last of the Array Token’s power to resist Abbot Xuanzhen and his allies.

The terrifying attacks were about to land.

Yao Long knew that this time, they wouldn’t escape without casualties.

’At least half of us will die.’

A wave of sorrow washed over him, but he quickly cast it aside.

’Since we accepted the mission, what do our lives matter?’

’Failing the mission is the only shame.’

Everyone braced themselves for a life-or-death struggle against Abbot Xuanzhen’s trio.

Just then, a piercing whistle suddenly split the air.

Everyone instinctively looked up to see a terrifying Blood Red Sword Qi descending at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The sky was dark, and the Blood Red Sword Qi was the only light.

Dao Text, shadows, Water Flow...

All sorts of phenomena swirled around the Blood Red Sword Qi, making it the only color that filled their vision.

"That’s... Lord Shen’s Anti-Demon Blood Sword Dance!" A look of joyous surprise appeared on Yao Long’s face.
