I Can Extract Divine Power

Blood Red Sword Qi was Shen Bai’s signature. Anyone who had spent time in the Jianghu knew of the title Eight Extremes Young Master.

It was like an anti-counterfeiting seal; no one could fake it.

As members of the Observatory, Yao Long and the others were naturally even more aware of this.

"Everyone, follow Lord Shen and kill the enemy!" Zhang He shouted.

But halfway through his cry, the words died in his throat.

He realized his shout was completely unnecessary.

The Blood Red Sword Qi was unstoppable, effortlessly neutralizing all their attacks.

Whether it was the Buddha’s Radiant Palm, the giant skull, or the foul black water from the Peach Wood Sword...

...all of them were fragile before the Blood Red Sword Qi.

After easily piercing through them, the Blood Red Sword Qi shot toward the Qi Huang Taoist, its momentum and speed unchecked.

The Qi Huang Taoist felt the hair on his body stand on end. The mortal danger compelled him to pull back his Peach Wood Sword.

CRACK!

A crisp sound echoed.

The Blood Red Sword Qi vanished, and the Peach Wood Sword snapped in two.

As if heavily wounded, the Qi Huang Taoist spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was a mask of fury mixed with terror. "Shen Bai!"

The terror came from his fear of Shen Bai’s power.

’How long has it been?!’

’Not long ago, Shen Bai could only match them by relying on his Recovery Power. But now, he could injure him so easily. It was simply inconceivable.’

’If Shen Bai was given a little more time, wouldn’t he be able to kill him with a single thrust of his sword?’

It wasn’t just the Qi Huang Taoist; Abbot Xuanzhen and the Vice Dean also looked up.

But the distant night sky was serene. Only a woman in red was approaching at high speed. Other than that, there was no trace of Shen Bai.

’Where is Shen Bai?’

The thought surfaced in everyone’s mind.

Suddenly, the tip of a sword pierced through the Qi Huang Taoist’s chest.

Excruciating pain washed over the Qi Huang Taoist. "He’s behind me!"

Behind him, Shen Bai’s smile was like Cold Ice on a high mountain, sending a shiver through one’s heart.

"When... when did you get here?" the Qi Huang Taoist asked instinctively.

"Oh, this...?"

Shen Bai’s smile didn’t fade. "I know Instant Teleportation."

The Instant Teleportation from Level 6 Divine Thousand Miles was truly traceless, coming and going like a shadow.

"Aren’t you one of the Eight Extremes...? How can you also have...!" The Qi Huang Taoist gritted his teeth.

Shen Bai slowly withdrew Cold Moon. "Oh, that? The rumors in the Jianghu are all fake. You’re a grown man, and you still believe that stuff? You’ve earned this death."

They were all adults; who still believed that Jianghu nonsense?

To believe something like that... he had it coming.

The Blood Red Sword Qi was incomparably sharp. As Shen Bai pulled Cold Moon free, it had already shredded the Qi Huang Taoist’s internal organs and Divine Soul.

The Qi Huang Taoist became a corpse and fell heavily to the ground.

Shen Bai flicked the blood from Cold Moon and said, "You’re a new face. So you’re from Xinhua Academy."

The Vice Dean felt the hair all over his body stand on end under Shen Bai’s gaze.

Without a second word, he turned and fled.

Black mist swirled from his staff, lifting the Vice Dean into the air. He became a blur as he shot toward the horizon.

’Fight?’

’Fight him? As if.’

’He killed the Qi Huang Taoist, a master of the same level, in a single strike. What could I possibly fight him with?’

’Running is what’s important. Where there’s life, there’s hope.’

But then, the Vice Dean saw Shen Bai appear in front of him.

"I already told you. I know Instant Teleportation."

Shen Bai raised his left hand.

Golden Buddha’s Light, like a raging fire, wrapped around it.

A terrifying Buddhist chant rang out as a Furious Vajra manifested, powerful enough to burn the heavens and boil the seas.

A single punch, like the descent of ten thousand Buddhas.

The black mist surrounding the Vice Dean vanished like ice meeting fire.

The sound of shattering bones echoed through the sky.

In an instant, the Vice Dean became a headless corpse. It fell to the ground, twitched continuously, and then went still.

A massive crater hundreds of feet wide appeared in the ground from the aftershock of Shen Bai’s attack.

Shen Bai turned his gaze to the last one, Abbot Xuanzhen, and said, "You’re all that’s left."

You’re all that’s left.

Just those four simple words sent a chill through Abbot Xuanzhen, making every hair on his body stand on end.

Two moves. With just two moves, he had killed two Void Realm Peak masters.

’Is this even a man?’

Abbot Xuanzhen clasped his hands, prostrated himself on the ground, and shouted, "I am willing to lead the remaining forces of the Nanxing Prefecture’s Wild Buddha Sect and surrender to the Observatory!"

He was scared.

The longer one lives, the more one fears death.

’Damn power? It’s all illusory.’

’Only by staying alive is there a chance for a comeback.’

’I have so many secrets, plus the classified intelligence of the Wild Buddha Sect. He’ll definitely spare me.’

’Then, I’ll surely have a chance to turn the tables. As for the secrets, I’ll just pick out some unimportant ones to share and make up some fake ones.’

’My superiors won’t blame me. I might even find a chance to kill Shen Bai.’

Abbot Xuanzhen thought to himself.

First, survive. Everything else could be dealt with later.

Just as he was certain that Shen Bai would let him live, Shen Bai’s icy voice reached him.

"There’s no need."

Abbot Xuanzhen snapped his head up just in time to see a beam of Blood Red Sword Qi, carrying an incomparably terrifying might, pierce through his chest.

"You..."

"Does a treacherous snake like you deserve to live?"

Shen Bai’s tone was tinged with mockery. "A two-faced, disloyal person is nothing but a liability if kept around."

THUD!

A dull sound echoed.

Abbot Xuanzhen collapsed to the ground. Even at the moment of his death, he couldn’t understand why Shen Bai had been so decisive in executing him on the spot.

The scene fell silent. Only the three corpses of the Void Realm Peak masters remained.

Shen Bai waved Cold Moon.

Blood Red Sword Qi erupted, shredding the three corpses and turning them to ash.

"And with that, there are no more threats," Shen Bai said as he sheathed his longsword.
