Clang!

The instant Jian Yidao’s long sword was drawn, the entire world seemed to dim for a moment.

“Xuanjian Guixu (Profound Sword Returns to Nothingness)!”

The long sword streaked across the sky, transforming into a magnificent and terrifying sword beam that slashed down towards Bai Jianlin.

Even before the sword beam arrived, Bai Jianlin already felt a stinging sensation all over his skin.

He knew that Jian Yidao’s sword intent had already enveloped him, and this strike would not give him a chance to escape.

Rumble!

The sword beam fell, as if splitting the entire world in two.

Dust billowed into the sky, engulfing Bai Jianlin's figure.

“Jianlin!”

Bai Li cried out in alarm. The power of this sword was so terrifying that Bai Jianlin was likely in mortal danger.

“Jian Yidao!!!”

Bai Li's eyes turned red instantly, and he charged towards Jian Yidao.

“Overestimating yourself.”

Jian Yidao sneered, easily unleashing a sword strike that sent Bai Li flying backward, coughing up blood.

Then, he turned his gaze to the remaining Bai family prodigies and said coldly,

“Kneel down and surrender, and I’ll spare you!”

However, Jian Yidao's words did not bring fear to the Bai family, but rather ignited the fire in their hearts.

“Let’s go! Kill this guy!”

“Bai family members only die standing, never kneeling!”

The other Bai family prodigies, seeing this, did not cower at all and charged towards Jian Yidao.

“Xuanjian Guiji (Profound Sword Returns to Silence)!”

Jian Yidao’s expression was cold as he unleashed another sword strike.

Terrifying sword intent swept out, and the Bai family’s prodigies let out miserable screams as they were swept away.

After this sword strike, none of the Bai family members could stand up. They all collapsed to the ground with serious injuries.

“You Bai family members are really overestimating yourselves!”

Jian Yidao sneered and turned his head, only to find that Bai Jianlin, who should have been seriously injured by his strike, had disappeared after the dust settled.

“Hmm? After taking my sword strike, he was directly reduced to ashes? The Bai family’s ranks are truly weak and laughable!”

Jian Yidao sneered.

In his opinion, he had already completed half of his mission. He had successfully captured all of the Bai family’s main force.

With these people, he should be able to easily lure out Qiao Yu and then kill him, completing his mission.

“Men, hang all these Bai family members upside down and spread the news, telling that Qiao Yu to come here!”

Jian Yidao said coldly. Immediately, Xuantian Jianzhong (Profound Heaven Sword Mound) disciples appeared and hung all the Bai family members, who had lost their ability to resist, upside down on wooden stakes.

This was the most complete humiliation for the Bai family.

Then, the Xuantian Jianzhong disciples immediately ran around, spreading the news that the Bai family had been captured by them.

The arrogant Jian Yidao did not realize that a figure had quietly arrived behind him.

A sound like a waterfall cascading from a high mountain resounded behind Jian Yidao, causing his hair to stand on end!

An intense sense of life-and-death crisis suddenly arose in Jian Yidao’s heart. He turned his head sharply and met Bai Jianlin’s cold eyes.

A sword mark ran through half of Bai Jianlin's body, and blood flowed from the wound, but this did not make Bai Jianlin timid in the slightest.

The sound of rushing water was coming from Bai Jianlin’s fist – a sign that the Liushui Baihua Quan (Flowing Water Hundred Transformations Fist) had reached ten thousand layers of power!

“It’s you! You’re not dead!”

A look of surprise appeared on Jian Yidao’s face.

“I don’t like arguing with people, and I don’t like fighting even more. But if you really think that my Bai family is easy to bully, then you’re wrong!”

“Liushui Baihua Quan (Flowing Water Hundred Transformations Fist)!”

The coldness in Bai Jianlin’s eyes intensified, and then he threw a punch!

This domineering punch seemed to be able to suppress everything in the world, and the flowing water fist force swept out like a vast ocean.

“You really think you can defeat me, a Demigod, by going against the ranks with your Saint-tier peak cultivation? How laughable!”

Jian Yidao’s expression finally changed at this moment. The power of Bai Jianlin’s punch completely exceeded his expectations.

“Xuanjian Guixu (Profound Sword Returns to Nothingness)!”

Jian Yidao unleashed a sword strike with all his might. The terrifying sword intent swept out and collided fiercely with Bai Jianlin’s punch.

The entire Tianhe Xing (Heaven Harmony Star) seemed to tremble because of this collision.

The violent energy fluctuations turned into shockwaves and spread out, directly engulfing Bai Jianlin and Jian Yidao.

In that instant, the entire sky was as bright as day.

After the terrifying energy waves dissipated, one could vaguely see only one figure standing through the dust.

The Bai family members and the Xuantian Jianzhong disciples all held their breath. No one knew who had won this confrontation.

The dust completely dissipated, and through the moonlight, everyone saw that Jian Yidao was gone, and only Bai Jianlin was standing there.

Bai Jianlin’s body was covered in terrible wounds left by the sword intent. Some of the deeper wounds were so deep that his bones were visible.

The Bai family members, who were hanging upside down, cheered instantly when they saw that the figure standing was Bai Jianlin. On the other hand, the Xuantian Jianzhong disciples were all silent.

However, Bai Jianlin did not have the slightest joy on his face. A wry smile appeared on his face.

“Damn it, if I had known, I wouldn’t have slacked off and cultivated for a few more days.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jianlin’s body collapsed like a toppling mountain of gold, falling heavily to the ground.

The cheers of the Bai family members stopped abruptly!

Whoosh!

Jian Yidao’s figure emerged from the mud. He was covered in dirt, and the arrogant look on his face was gone. All that remained was fear and lingering shock.

Bai Jianlin’s punch just now was too terrifying. If Bai Jianlin wasn’t at the peak of the Saint tier, but at the same level as him, the first level of the Demigod tier, then he would have died just now!

Looking at Bai Jianlin, who was lying on the ground, a cold killing intent flashed in Jian Yidao’s eyes!

Since he had completely offended the Bai family, Jian Yidao would naturally not let go of a guy like Bai Jianlin who could threaten him!

“Bai Jianlin, you are indeed very strong, but unfortunately, you are still a little short!”

Jian Yidao grinned, raised his long sword, and stabbed it fiercely towards the back of Bai Jianlin’s head.

However, the scene of blood splattering that Jian Yidao had imagined did not appear.

When the tip of the long sword was only a hair’s breadth away from the back of Bai Jianlin’s head, a white, crystal-clear bone hand grabbed Jian Yidao’s blade, preventing the long sword from advancing even an inch.

“Who is it?” Jian Yidao narrowed his eyes and shouted.

As soon as Jian Yidao finished speaking, a kind voice rang in his ear.

“I heard you’ve been looking for me lately? Are you not done yet? It seems you really want to fight me. Do you have the strength to fight me, Qiao Yu?”
