Keng keng keng…
The Bai family members around them immediately drew their long swords, exuding a powerful aura.
Profound-tier peak?
Sensing the surrounding auras, Ye Cangtian frowned.
Every single member of the Bai family before him was at the peak of the Profound-tier.
It had to be said that the Bai family's foundation was indeed very strong!
These people's strength might not be as great as his, and he could easily deal with them in a one-on-one fight. However, with so many of them attacking at once, he might not be their match.
"Kill!"
The next moment, Bai Sulan charged towards Ye Cangtian, leading the charge.
With her move, she instantly ignited the fighting spirit of the Bai family members, and a stream of figures surged towards Ye Cangtian.
The great battle erupted instantly!
Ye Cangtian's pressure suddenly increased, and he was completely suppressed. His dagger swung frantically, but he could only defend, unable to attack.
There were simply too many opponents, and their strength was also formidable.
He could trade injuries for survival, but that would only lead to his swifter demise.
Perhaps before he could eliminate all his opponents, he would fall due to severe injuries and be at their mercy.
"The people of the Bai family are truly becoming more and more capable!"
"They've even thrown all pretense of dignity away!"
An elder on the other side, seeing Ye Cangtian's desperate defense, let out a cold snort and began to swing his fishing rod.
Immediately, a silver light flashed, streaking towards the Bai family members.
"Hmph!"
"Your opponent is me!"
Bai Zhenshan snorted coldly, his figure flickered, and a cold glint flashed. His long sword directly severed the fishing line.
The elder, being engaged by the opponent, didn't say much more. His figure flickered, and in the next instant, he appeared before Bai Zhenshan.
At the same time, his fishing rod was enveloped by spiritual energy, and he then brought it down with great force.
"Tricks of the trade!"
"With such meager abilities, you dare to make a move against the Bai family?"
Looking at the elder's attack, Bai Zhenshan's face showed a look of utter disdain. It was merely the outward projection of spiritual energy, something any Earth-tier expert could do. It was nothing special!
As he spoke, he flicked his long sword, also projecting spiritual energy outwards, and met the attack head-on.
Boom!
The clash of weapons produced a loud noise, and the elder was forced back several steps, his face turning slightly pale.
Although Bai Zhenshan blocked the elder's fishing rod, the remaining half of the fishing line fiercely whipped across his back.
In an instant, a tear appeared in the clothes on his back, revealing the inner armor beneath. Bai Zhenshan was unharmed.
"What an arrogant old fellow, daring to offend my Bai family with injuries!"
"It seems you truly don't have the Bai family in your eyes!"
Bai Zhenshan saw at a glance that the elder seemed to be injured, and his face immediately broke into a cold sneer.
He then charged forward again.
"So what if I'm injured?"
The elder sneered contemptuously and met the charge.
For a time, the two fought fiercely and without respite.
Although the elder's moves were skillful and he frequently gained the upper hand, he could not break through Bai Zhenshan's inner armor. At most, he could only make Bai Zhenshan's breathing unsteady.
Meanwhile, his own complexion grew paler, and the intense battle had aggravated his old injuries.
Bai Zhenshan saw all this clearly and wasn't in a hurry.
Even though he wasn't as skilled as the opponent in terms of moves, so what? With the opponent's old injuries flaring up, he would defeat himself!
In other words, as long as he could hold the opponent off, victory would ultimately be his.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian, who was still struggling in the bitter fight, also noticed the elder's condition.
He never expected that the incredibly powerful elder was actually severely injured. How could he possibly be a match for Bai Zhenshan?
It seemed he had to unleash some of his strength and end the battle quickly so that he could support the elder.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian prepared to draw his Dragon Soul Saber.
But at that moment, a powerful aura arrived.
Looking over, the aura emanating from the elder's fishing rod had changed.
In the next moment, those auras slowly formed into visible transparent divine dragons.
The divine dragons coiled around the fishing rod, emitting faint dragon roars, appearing majestic and imposing.
"This… what kind of technique is this?"
Not only Ye Cangtian, but even the Bai family members around were stunned.
"Hmph, you're getting serious, are you? Then this old man will accompany you!"
Sensing the immense pressure emanating from the fishing rod in the opponent's hand, Bai Zhenshan snorted lightly. The long sword in his hand was instantly enveloped by a powerful sword qi, which grew thicker and thicker.
The next moment, Bai Zhenshan let out a roar, and his long sword, like a startled swan, shot directly towards the elder.
At the same time, the elder swept his fishing rod forward.
Boom!
The fierce collision caused the spiritual energy to explode instantly. Even Ye Cangtian and the others in the distance, affected by this spiritual energy, changed their expressions, their qi and blood churning.
Everyone was terrified. This was merely the aftermath of the attack!
On the other side, the elder stumbled back several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
He realized that if he continued to exchange blows, he would eventually lose, which was why he had resorted to the Coiling Dragon Staff technique.
Although the Coiling Dragon Staff technique wasn't powerful enough, it was the only formidable move he could execute at the moment, as he desired a swift victory.
However, using the Coiling Dragon Staff technique forcefully with severe injuries had caused his body to be unable to bear the strain, further aggravating his injuries.
But looking at it now, it seemed worth it.
Bai Zhenshan, facing him, spat out a mouthful of blood and scrambled to his feet from the ground.
Even with the protection of his inner armor, he was still sent flying by the aftershock of the opponent's attack. The internal organs within his body burned with pain.
This was despite him blocking with all his might. If he hadn't used that sword strike to offset some of the attack, he might have already met his end here.
Because of this, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
How could a mysterious elder with unhealed severe injuries possess such powerful martial techniques?
If he were in his prime, what terrifying level of strength would he possess?
"Patriarch…"
By the time the Bai family members reacted, they immediately abandoned Ye Cangtian and rushed towards Bai Zhenshan, one after another.
Bai Zhenshan was the patriarch of the Bai family. If anything happened to him, the sky of the Bai family would collapse!
Ye Cangtian also rushed to the elder's side without a word, took out a Little Return Pill from his Qiankun bag, and handed it to the elder.
"Elder, eat it quickly, it will be good for your injuries!"
"You're really something. If you were injured, you should have said so earlier, and I would have helped you find a solution!"
The elder waved his hand and pushed the Little Return Pill back, saying with a wry smile:
"The Little Return Pill is useless, don't waste it…"
This…
Ye Cangtian found it hard to believe. He had also taken the Little Return Pill, which had the effect of miraculously healing even the most severe wounds. How could it be useless?
In other words, if even the Little Return Pill was useless, what kind of injuries had the elder sustained?
"Who exactly are you?"
"Why do you possess such powerful martial techniques?"
Bai Zhenshan's voice came, looking at the elder with a very unpleasant expression.
He knew that the sword technique he used was not an ordinary one. It was a technique passed down from the Bai family ancestors, obtained in ancient ruins, and it was called the Bai Family Thirteen Swords.
Its power was immense, and even the people of the Dongfang family did not dare to carelessly accept it.
Yet, the Bai family's sword technique had barely displayed any power against the elder. Even in their previous minor exchanges, he felt as if his weaknesses were being seen through.
This was clearly not something an unknown person could achieve.
"It's not that my Coiling Dragon Staff technique is powerful, but rather that you haven't mastered the Bai Family Thirteen Swords yet!"
"In my opinion, you have only mastered six of the Bai Family Thirteen Swords at most. Without a great opportunity in your lifetime, you will find it difficult to achieve the seventh sword!"
The elder glanced at Bai Zhenshan, and did not refuse to answer due to the previous clash.
On the contrary, he provided an answer, and it seemed he held the Bai Family Thirteen Swords in high regard.
