Chapter 666 - 207: Fighting a Celestial Spirit, Chasing Out of the City

He had never expected Shen Bai to be able to fight him to such a standstill, relying on nothing but his world-shocking Swordsmanship.

However, he could already tell that while Shen Bai’s Swordsmanship was powerful, as long as he blocked it with his palms, he would remain completely unharmed.

After all, he had trained his palms countless times, making them perfect for both offense and defense.

"Not bad, not bad at all. Your strength is quite high. You are truly worthy of being Zhang Dao Ling’s trusted man."

Shen Bai swung his sword, forcing the palms back. He then retreated several dozen steps and narrowed his eyes.

Li Zhong sighed. "Lord Shen, don’t blame me. We are simply serving our respective masters. Today, I must take your head. On another day, I will surely visit your grave to offer my apologies."

Hearing this, Shen Bai broke into a smile. "That won’t be necessary. The only question is, whose head will be taken today—mine, or yours?"

The words had barely left his lips when Shen Bai ran a finger along the blood-red blade of Cold Moon. In the next instant, countless streams of Blood Red Sword Qi erupted, soaring toward the sky.

Thousands upon ten thousands of streams of Sword Qi filled the air, seemingly without end.

Witnessing this, Li Zhong’s eyes widened slightly. "Lord Shen, this move is powerful indeed. But if you think this is enough to defeat me, you are sorely mistaken."

He might not have been at the Celestial Spirit Realm Peak, but he had been immersed in the Celestial Spirit Realm for a long time, and his skill was considered top-tier.

He could sense that Shen Bai’s Blood Red Sword Qi was incredibly powerful, and that another, hidden Sword Qi was concealed within the barrage. Still, he believed this Sword Qi alone couldn’t harm him.

Even the Dao Text and shadows accompanying the Sword Qi were powerless against him.

"Why not find out?" Shen Bai said with a faint smile.

Then, the tens of thousands of streams of Sword Qi coalesced into a gale, hurtling toward Li Zhong.

A torrential storm of Blood Red Sword Qi swarmed in from all directions, completely enveloping Li Zhong.

Li Zhong roared and unleashed a flurry of palm strikes.

One Palm Seal after another materialized, hovering in mid-air to form a protective cocoon all around him.

The Blood Red Sword Qi clashed with the Palm Seals, and both forces continuously dissipated upon contact.

Meanwhile, the killing intent in Li Zhong’s eyes grew steadily stronger.

’If this boy’s power increases even slightly, not even I will be his match. I must eliminate him. Otherwise, Lord Zhang will have a formidable foe.’

He was just a Martial Artist, but he knew who his master was. At this moment, his thoughts were simple: kill Shen Bai first, then leave with Zhang Huan.

Li Zhong took a step forward.

He prepared to unleash his strongest attack, the most terrifying technique in his Cultivation Technique, known as "Dual Palm Unity."

Once his two palms became one, the attack would descend upon his enemy with the weight of ten mountains.

Even the strongest expert in the Celestial Spirit Realm would have to avoid the brunt of the attack.

He was confident he could kill Shen Bai.

But in the next moment, Li Zhong suddenly felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his head.

He immediately dropped to one knee, clutching his head as he stared at Shen Bai in astonishment.

"Your Swordsmanship... how can it harm the Divine Soul?"

Shen Bai slowly descended from high above, the fierce winds making his robes flap and snap.

"The Swordsmanship of the Ten Extremes Young Master is supposed to be incomparably fierce and powerful, yet demonic, like a blood moon."

"But that is ultimately a physical attack. Why do you also possess a technique that attacks the Divine Soul?"

Li Zhong couldn’t help but ask his second question.

At that moment, the Divine Soul in his mind shattered with a CRACK.

His Divine Soul was shattered, held together only by threads of his powerful Qi.

But now, he was completely powerless to resist.

If he tried to make a move, his Divine Soul would be utterly annihilated, resulting in certain death.

Shen Bai slowly walked up to Li Zhong and said, "The Soul-Annihilating Sword, of course, annihilates the Divine Soul."

In this battle, with the dual blessings of Amber and Red Makeup, as well as the support of various Divine Powers, Shen Bai’s Swordsmanship had reached a terrifying new level.

’If I can’t even eliminate someone in the Celestial Spirit Realm with this,’ Shen Bai thought, ’then what’s the point of having this power-up?’

After all, the Soul-Annihilating Sword was a technique that could slay the Divine Soul itself.

Li Zhong tried to stand, but the excruciating pain in his mind made it impossible to muster the strength.

He could only remain as he was, glaring at Shen Bai with furious eyes.

Shen Bai said coolly, "Go in peace."

Cold Moon pierced through Li Zhong’s chest. Blood Red Sword Qi then surged, churning his entire body into a ruined mess.

Li Zhong’s mouth fell open.

He wanted to say something, but not a single sound could escape his lips.

Even as his entire body was torn to shreds, his eyes still held a trace of bitter unwillingness.

Shen Bai watched the ashes scatter into the sky before walking over to Zhang Huan.

He had only seen Li Zhong carrying Zhang Huan away from the city wall; he didn’t know the specific reason.

But with Zhang Huan lying here now, he could naturally question him to find out the reason.

But just as Shen Bai was about to reach Zhang Huan, Zhang Huan suddenly cried out in agony.

Cracks began to appear all over Zhang Huan’s body.

BOOM!

In an instant, Zhang Huan’s body exploded, vanishing without a trace.

At the same time, Shen Bai heard the sound of footsteps rapidly approaching.
