Mushroom Man

The word "deadly" symbolizes his skill in swordsmanship.

The word "scholar" symbolizes his achievements in the field of Taoism.

The fact that Bai Xiaosheng cultivates both Taoism and swordsmanship is enough to demonstrate that his strength should not be underestimated.

However, compared to Wu Liang, he is definitely still somewhat lacking...

"Trouble..."

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Wu Liang, who was calm and composed, and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

Who doesn't know the name Yu Dao?

As everyone knows, the two schools of thought, Yu Dao and Zhou Dao, each possess unpredictable and extremely mysterious methods.

Time is supreme, space is king; this shows just how powerful these two schools of thought are.

However, why did such a powerful school of thought never flourish and instead decline so drastically?
Isn't it precisely because these two schools of thought have scarce resources and are difficult to trace?
This person, who possesses the Yu Dao inheritance, is undoubtedly no ordinary individual.

It would be extremely difficult to snatch the Green Jade from this person.

If possible, it's best not to engage in a direct confrontation.

After all, regardless of winning or losing, he will definitely be the one who loses in the end.

Master Yu Dao is extremely skilled at moving and escaping. Whether he wins or loses, he can't stop anyone from leaving if they want to, making him invincible from the start.

In this situation, his best option was to back down and make peace, betting that the guy didn't know the value of the Green Jade and to trade peacefully with him.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Xiaosheng understood all of this.

"Fellow……"

Bai Xiaosheng quickly spoke up, trying to stop Wu Liang.

However, Wu Liang saw through his intentions, but still launched an attack regardless.

In an instant, the words that Bai Xiaosheng was about to say were interrupted by Wu Liang once again.

"broken!"

Wu Liang let out a cold shout and suddenly clenched his fist in the direction where Bai Xiaosheng was.

Four-turn Void-Shattering Mushroom!
This mushroom was obtained from the Dragon Palace Treasury and is one of the thirteen four-stage mushrooms.

Its function, as the name suggests, is to shatter things within a space.

It is one of the few killing mushrooms among the Yu Dao mushrooms.

"Crack, click, click..."

The sounds of space shattering swept over us instantly.

Bai Xiaosheng felt a chill run down his spine and transformed into a sharp sword once more to avoid the area affected by the Shattered Void Mushroom.

The moment he left, the spot where he stood was pulverized into dust by the Shattered Mushroom.

Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If he had been a step later, he probably would have lost his life.

As the saying goes, even a clay figure has a bit of fire in it.

Having been repeatedly outmaneuvered, even though he knew that fighting to the death was not a good option, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't care less about that anymore.

A peaceful transaction requires demonstrating one's own strength.

Therefore, Bai Xiaosheng finally stopped dodging and launched a deadly attack!
"A three-foot-long sword reflects the cold moonlight, a deadly scholar's sword shadow lingers."

"On the Demon-Slaying List, chivalrous spirits are judged; a single sword's cold light sweeps across four provinces."

As Bai Xiaosheng recited poetry, a three-foot-long sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

He raised his hand and pointed, and the three-foot-long sword transformed into a streak of light that pierced through the air, heading straight for Wu Liang's head.

"What a sword!"

Wu Liang laughed loudly, not daring to be presumptuous about it.

Swordsmanship is one of the five major killing styles in the mushroom world, and no one dares to compete head-on with a swordsmanship mushroom master in terms of killing power.

Even Wu Liang, without using his full strength, would have to retreat.

Bai Xiaosheng is skilled in sword escape techniques, and Wu Liang is naturally no less adept.

With a thought, he vanished without a trace using the Void-Breaking Mushroom and reappeared behind Bai Xiaosheng.

As the saying goes, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Since Bai Xiaosheng was the first to use his dual-style killing move, he naturally had to retaliate in kind.

"Bloody Hand... Asura Seal!"

Wu Liang doesn't make a move unless he's absolutely sure of it, but when he does, he unleashes his strongest killing technique besides the Spatial Slash!
He raised his hand, which had transformed into a bloody hand, and without hesitation slapped it down on Bai Xiaosheng's back.

And all of this happened in the blink of an eye!
In Bai Xiaosheng's eyes, it was a move he was extremely confident in that Wu Liang had dodged with ease.

Before he could react, he felt as if he had been struck hard in the back!

The difference in combat experience between the two is vividly demonstrated here.

Although they were both at the fourth level, when they actually started fighting, Bai Xiaosheng was completely overwhelmed by Wu Liang!
"cough!!!"

Caught off guard, Bai Xiaosheng was struck by the Blood Hand Asura Seal and was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall.

The walls, made of bluestone, were dented by the impact.

Bai Xiaosheng was like a lump of mud, lying on the ground, unable to get up again.

However, this is not the end!

In just a few breaths, Bai Xiaosheng was turned into a pool of blood under the influence of the Blood Hand Asura Seal, and was dead beyond any doubt.

At this moment, the terrifying power of the Blood Hand Asura Seal was fully revealed.

Wu Liang possesses two of the strongest killing techniques: the Blood Hand Asura Seal and the Spatial Slash.

Both have their merits and are deadly moves that can kill instantly.

While the Blood Hand Asura Seal may be less effective against inanimate objects, it is virtually invincible against living creatures of flesh and blood, making it a true nemesis!
"You're going to die now?"

Wu Liang raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but sneer.

He certainly didn't believe that the dignified successor of the Formless lineage would be so pathetic, killed by him in a single exchange.

You should know that back then, Xiao Chusheng had escaped death several times when facing the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, both fifth-level mushroom masters.

This all-knowing scholar, if not comparable to Xiao Chusheng, should at least be far inferior.

Keep in mind that so far, this guy hasn't even used any of the methods from the Formless Inheritance!

as predicted……

Just as Wu Liang had suspected, Bai Xiaosheng was indeed not dead.

Suddenly, without anyone noticing, scraps of paper began to fall from the sky.

"A blank sheet of paper is used to create a false form; the real and the fake lie in the desolate courtyard."

"A cold glint rises as they return, swords pointed at the winds and clouds, troops regrouped."

After finishing his poem, Bai Xiaosheng returned with renewed vigor.

His face was deathly pale, clearly indicating that he had expended a great deal of energy and was not without any losses.

Wu Liang narrowed his eyes, discerning a few clues from it.

It turns out that this guy had already laid some kind of avatar on himself from the very beginning.

The Bai Xiaosheng he killed earlier was not the real Bai Xiaosheng.

The real all-knowing scholar was always hiding in the body of the fake one.

Once the fake Bai Xiaosheng dies, his soul returns to his true self and he makes a comeback.

Such methods were truly mysterious, opening his eyes to a whole new world.

It has to be said that he truly deserves to be called the successor of the Formless lineage; he's got some skills.

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng's fake identity was exposed, and he suffered heavy losses, which made him truly angry.

He gritted his teeth, casually brandished his sword, and slashed in all directions from his high vantage point.

In an instant, sword energy surged forth, overwhelming everything, leaving no room to dodge or avoid...

Undoubtedly, this move was clearly intended to prevent Wu Liang from using the same trick again and unleashing the Void-Breaking Mushroom.

However, what Bai Xiaosheng didn't know was that Wu Liang didn't need to hide at all.

Wu Liang chuckled softly and slowly uttered a sentence...

"The universe is at peace!" (End of Chapter)
