Daoist Competition

Zhang Yan’s claim about capturing Bai Kechuan was not mere boasting, but it was not easy either. His words were meant to provoke because he saw that the treasure clothes on Bai Kechuan required constant mana to wield, hoping to make him reveal some flaws.

Hearing these words, Bai Kechuan was filled with anger. Since he began cultivation, when has he ever suffered such a loss? He desperately drove the four-colored Qi Radiance back and forth, its brilliance flashing non-stop, washing and stirring, pouring down like water.

However, Zhang Yan’s sword light flew swiftly, often moving to another side even before the wind, fire, water, and lightning could strike.

The disciples surrounding them noticed something was amiss, but even if they had Dharma Treasures in hand, they couldn’t intervene in the battle between the two. Otherwise, one misstep and they would be affected by the Chenhu Card. Moreover, most of them were empty-handed and could only watch from the side.

Bai Kechuan saw that no matter how hard he tried, the four-colored Qi Radiance couldn’t hit Zhang Yan. He was both surprised and fearful, knowing that continuing like this would be disastrous.

In all his battles, he had always been victorious, only needing to offer the "Chenhu Card" to take down opponents, but he had never encountered such a predicament where the Dharma Treasure couldn’t strike the opponent. How could he win like this?

Zhang Yan saw that Bai Kechuan was always on guard and didn’t wish to entangle with him further, so he smiled and said, "Let me deal with those spectators first, then I’ll accompany you."

He pressed the sword ball, splitting off ten beams of brilliant sword light, pointing with his hand to circle around Bai Kechuan. Though not attacking, it was a veiled threat.

Then he displayed the sword light, moved to the distant sky, followed a Lie Xuan Sect disciple, dropped the Water Element True Light down, capturing one person, then the sword light leaped again to the other side, repeating the same method.

In just a few breaths, he had captured six people consecutively. At this rate, it wouldn’t take long before he could clean up everyone there.

The Xuan Guang Realm disciples had no power to resist against him, fleeing outside, crying out miserably, "Brother Bai, save our lives."

Bai Kechuan’s face turned ashen. He never expected Zhang Yan not to confront him directly but instead targeted his fellow disciples. Several times he couldn’t help but want to act, but seeing the sword ball flickering nearby, he restrained himself.

After that one sword, he realized that if he dared to move recklessly, one careless mistake would mean his head would be taken by a flying sword coming from who knows where. So, facing his comrades being slaughtered, he steeled his heart, endured it all, and did not intervene.

In fact, Zhang Yan’s ten Splitting Light sword lights weren’t as lethal as Bai Kechuan imagined. Although the Splitting Light Separation Method was powerful, it required the Sword Cultivator to stand in one place and use the Heart and Spirit to control it in order to harm the enemy.

At the moment, he merely deceived Bai Kechuan, who didn’t understand the intricacies, by putting on a show, and as expected, the latter was indeed intimidated.

Bai Kechuan was constantly pondering strategies, and after a while, he suddenly looked up and said in a deep voice, "Five junior brothers, aren’t you going to act? If you wait for this person to eliminate all the juniors, it’ll be your turn next."

The five Hua Dan Cultivators who came with him were standing together at the moment. They were sub-platform masters from various places, and Zhang Yan didn’t target them first because their cultivation was higher.

When Zhang Yan made his move, these five unknowingly leaned together, having fellow sect members to watch out for each other. After the initial panic, they also calmed down slightly.

Being able to achieve such status in the Lie Xuan Sect, although they were divested of their proud Dharma Treasures by Zhang Yan earlier, how could they have only one Dharma Treasure?

However, seeing Zhang Yan’s unusual Daoist Skill, they kept some selfish thoughts, wanting to keep something for self-defense and not want to lose it in vain.

They were not foolish, just confused in the moment. Now, hearing Bai Kechuan’s words, they were all alarmed in their hearts, recognizing the situation before them instantly.

They exchanged a few glances. One person spoke out, "Brother Bai is right. This is the territory of the Zhenluo Alliance. We have no retreat, it’s either life or death. If we don’t kill this person now, do we expect to return alive?"

Bai Kechuan shouted, "Indeed, only by uniting can we break out of this predicament."

You Shaofang, who had previous disagreements with him, was among them but didn’t have a good expression. He couldn’t resist speaking sarcastically, "Bai Kechuan, where did your arrogance go earlier? If it weren’t for your stubbornness, would we have ended up like this? I’ll report today’s events in detail to the Sect Hierarch once we return!"
