Chapter 819 - 791: Deliberate Provocation

Sun Zhe was in mid-air, seeing that terrifying sword gleam splitting the air towards him, not daring to hesitate in the slightest, immediately sidestepped to narrowly avoid it.

The sword gleam roared past him, leaving a blood mark on his face, before slicing diagonally skyward with incredible speed, like withering everything in its path, not ceasing until it opened a massive breach in the cloud cover, then it scattered into countless light stars and faded away.

Witnessing this, the crowd couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.

The massive breach in the clouds refused to close, appearing as a heavenly chasm crossing the sky, splendid and awe-inspiring!

At this moment.

Many had already started to worry for Sun Zhe.

"Casually emitting a single Sword Qi, capable of splitting the sky... What kind of cultivation does Senior Bai have?"

Chu Chenglong’s forehead dripped with cold sweat, deeply grateful for having the foresight not to make an enemy of Bai Lang.

Such terrifying power obviously exceeded the Spirit Gathering Realm, reaching a level he couldn’t fathom.

In his eyes, Sun Zhe was as good as dead!

At this time, Qin Hong too was filled with confidence, looking at Sun Zhe as a dead man, sneeringly said: "Little bastard, today you will pay for the sins of your ancestors!"

"With the Guardian here, even if the Female Sword Immortal behind you takes action, she wouldn’t stand a chance against the Guardian’s single move."

"..."

At the camp.

Zhu Yan and Lin Shuqing, among other women, clenched their fists tightly, trembling in anxiety.

Despite their belief in Sun Zhe, Bai Lang’s power was undeniable, almost akin to a Sword Immortal descending to the mortal world!

Thus, none of the women could envision any possibility for Sun Zhe to win.

...

At this moment.

In the sky.

Having sensed the might of Bai Lang’s sword, Sun Zhe momentarily felt a chill down his spine.

"This fool’s power probably isn’t much weaker than Qingyan. Sister Long, do you think using ’Resentful Dragon’s Death Force’ could directly wipe him out?"

Little Dragon Girl merely laughed disdainfully, "No need, no need at all. What kind of force is Resentful Dragon’s Death Force? Using it on someone like him is purely using a cannon to kill mosquitoes!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe exclaimed inwardly, "Using it on someone like this is using a cannon to kill mosquitoes?!"

Little Dragon Girl chuckled, "Rest assured, this fool isn’t very strong, probably Soul Void Realm Tier Nine pinnacle. If I were to strike, I could deal with him in seconds."

Sun Zhe: "Then why don’t you strike?"

Little Dragon Girl said in annoyance, "Every time you encounter strong enemies, you think of asking me to settle them, how are you supposed to grow then?"

"I..."

Sun Zhe was speechless.

Little Dragon Girl snorted, "Was the Undying Body I found for you in vain? Was learning your Zhou You too void and Lingao Swordsmanship along with Dragon Intent Fist for nothing?"

Sun Zhe’s eyes showed a hint of ferocity, "Fine, you won’t strike, I’ll settle him myself!"

Little Dragon Girl said, "Relying on the Undying Body, using a mutually destructive method, you can definitely exhaust him to death."

"Or you can try to delay time, wait for my master to finish on her side, and dealing with him would just be a matter of eye contact."

"Eye contact?"

Hearing this, Sun Zhe frowned lightly, suddenly thought of something, and immediately terminated the Divine Sense communication with Little Dragon Girl, surging Spiritual Power throughout, flying swiftly towards the central region of the Fire Lake Islands.

Bai Lang saw this, immediately creating gusts at his feet, turning into a shadow, and hurriedly chasing after him.

After Bai Lang, everyone watching in the audience also rushed to follow, eager to witness the battle personally!

However, the deeper they ventured, the higher the temperature rose, forcing the spectators to stay at the edge of the Fire Lake Islands to watch from afar.

...

Above the Fire Lake Islands.

Amid rapid flight, Sun Zhe suddenly halted abruptly, turning to face Bai Lang chasing behind him.

Bai Lang also halted abruptly, standing on the air hundreds of meters from Sun Zhe, sneering, "Boy, you must pay for your earlier obscene words."

Sun Zhe chuckled lightly, his tone full of provocation, "Are you referring to when I spoke of your dao companion? If I could indeed take you down, I’d truly want to play with one of such excellence."

"Courting death!"

Sun Zhe laughed heartily, "You talk too much nonsense, even as a villain you are unqualified. Are you really so reluctant to see me dead? So unwilling to watch me play around with your dao companion in bed?"

"I want you dead!"

Even with Bai Lang’s calm nature, he couldn’t tolerate such insults to his beloved woman!

Moreover, it came from a nameless junior with weaker power!

"I want you to regret coming into this world!"

He flew towards Sun Zhe at full speed, making a murderous approach!

Seeing Bai Lang rushing at him with towering anger, Sun Zhe couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

He deliberately provoked Bai Lang to draw him into close quarters.

Only with Bai Lang approaching could he seize the opportunity to use that technique.

Still tens of meters from Sun Zhe, Bai Lang launched a powerful palm strike, a white palm shadow whistling out, causing the surrounding space to distort severely, crashing towards Sun Zhe with terrifying power.

Sun Zhe’s eyes trembled, blood trickling at the corners, directly ignoring that palm shadow, gaze fixed firmly on Bai Lang, as the palm shadow came crashing, he bore the agony of shattered ribs and innards, not retreating but advancing, directly slashing toward Bai Lang with a sword.

"Lingao Swordsmanship Second Style, Breaking Army!"

Witnessing Sun Zhe’s sword slash, Bai Lang felt a bit disdainful.

"The swordsmanship is decent, but unfortunately, you are too weak."

He was about to dodge, but found himself unable to move, his body seemingly shackled by an invisible bond.

His smile instantly froze, suddenly panicking, striving to break free, unleashing full cultivation to break free of the invisible shackles instantly.

But due to that brief pause, he was unable to evade Sun Zhe’s piercing sword.

With a soft hissing sound.

Sun Zhe’s Dragon-slaying Sword effortlessly pierced Bai Lang’s chest.

Bai Lang’s body stiffened, suddenly becoming rigid, slowly lowering his gaze to the rusty, blood-stained sword, feeling incredulous, even unable to accept.

Soul Void Realm Tier Nine pinnacle, pierced in the chest by a single sword from a Spirit Gathering Realm?

At this moment.

Sun Zhe’s eyes were red with blood, his whole body emitting white smoke, as the shattered ribs and inner organs within rapidly healed and regenerated at an incredible speed.

Just as Little Dragon Girl said, he was employing a mutually destructive method!

Because when battling with a strong opponent like Bai Lang, no body technique or Daoist skill would work, only a desperate fight would create a slim chance!

Despite risking his life, he was not rushing without thought, deploying his newly comprehended Heaven’s Evolution Divine Skill - Condensing Air Eye.

Even though the divine skill could only freeze a strong opponent like Bai Lang for a moment, a moment was enough for him to accomplish many things.

"Scram!"

Bai Lang regained his strength, bearing the agony of his chest injury to retreat, instantly kicking Sun Zhe away.

"Smack!"

Sun Zhe refused to show weakness, immediately swinging a slap across Bai Lang’s face.

Under the immense forces pushing both of them, they simultaneously flew back several hundred meters.

Bai Lang steadied himself in the air, covering the pierced chest, hastily channeling energy to stop the bleeding, wiping the red at his lips with another hand, glaring at Sun Zhe with gnashing teeth, "Boy, you’ve angered me!"

Sun Zhe’s tone remained provocative, "What kind of heinous thing are you? Does anger help you?"

"Courting death!"

Bai Lang roared furiously, unable to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, retrieving a long sword from the Storage Treasure and charged toward Sun Zhe.

"You can only say that?!"

Sun Zhe shouted fiercely, refusing to be outdone, charging with the sword to meet him, his figure instantly transforming into a shadow.

"Clash—!"

As two swords met, in an instant, sword light filled the sky!
