Mushroom Man

"Tsk... You think you can escape?"

Bai Xiaosheng sneered, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being in the lead.

His previous battle with Wu Liang nearly caused his Dao heart to collapse.

During this time, he kept wondering if he was too weak.

Otherwise, since they are both Mushroom Masters of the same level, why did that Holy Church envoy beat him up like he was a grandson?

However, after his confrontation with Yan Wuxin, Bai Xiaosheng finally understood everything and resolved his inner conflict.

It turned out that it wasn't that he was too weak, but that the Holy Church's special envoy was too strong. That guy could no longer be called human; he could only be described as a monster.

At this moment...

When faced with a breach of trust, Bai Xiaosheng remained calm and composed, handling the situation with ease.

The one who is untrustworthy is in a hurry, stumbling and crawling, which forms a stark contrast to the other.

This scene was almost identical to when Bai Xiaosheng faced Wu Liang.

Having finally regained some confidence, Bai Xiaosheng was unwilling to let Yan Wuxin escape so easily.

Without hesitation, he forcefully unleashed a combined killing move from both the Faith and Sword schools...

Words are the sharpest swords that wound!

"At this pace, have you not eaten?"

"You've only exchanged one or two blows, why are you trying to run away?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, ugly and cowardly, you don't even dare to fight. How did you survive to this age?"

"We're both practitioners of the Daoist mushroom cultivation method, so why are you inferior to me?"

"To rely on so much debt to protect one's own life, isn't that going to be a huge waste?"

"Do your family members know that you have so much debt?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, you might not have any family..."

Bai Xiaosheng abandoned his refined scholarly demeanor and instead began to chatter incessantly, relentlessly mocking Yan Wuxin.

With every word he spoke, an invisible sword seemed to descend from the sky.

Especially after he inadvertently said that you might not have any family...

Yan Wuxin, who was about to flee, paused slightly, his face contorted with malice, his eyes seeming capable of killing a person.

As a result, Bai Xiaosheng's words were the most hurtful of all, and their effect reached its peak.

An invisible sword, swift and sharp, instantly pierced through the air and disappeared.

The words "Yan Wuxin" spontaneously appeared on his body, written in black and white.

However, faced with this sword forged from language, no amount of debt can stop it.

And that just goes to show...

People burdened with huge debts are not afraid of knives, guns, or sticks; they are only afraid of accusations and insults directed at their families and themselves.

Only words can break such people, making them unable to bear the pressure any longer, and thus leading them to take their own lives.

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng's sharp words pierced Yan Wuxin's heart.

Words, sharp as swords, rendered the enormous debt meaningless, instantly piercing Yan Wuxin's heart.

Just hear a "plop" sound!
Despite having no visible injuries, Yan Wuxin involuntarily clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground.

She was panting heavily, glaring angrily at Bai Xiaosheng.

"You, you are courting death!"

Yan Wuxin's greatest desire in life was to gain his father's approval.

She had an almost humble love for her father, and now that he had died mysteriously in the Demon Suppression Tower, it remained a knot in her heart.

She dreamed of knowing whether her father had acknowledged her before he died.

Unfortunately, she had long since forgotten all those memories.

Now, Bai Xiaosheng's comment that she has no family has completely touched a raw nerve.

In this situation, how could Yan Wuxin remain calm?

Clutching her excruciatingly painful chest, she forcefully channeled her inner energy and unleashed a deadly attack to counterattack.

In an instant, countless origami cranes flew out from her sleeves.

These origami cranes were originally a method used by the Yan family patriarch, and now she has inherited and carried them forward.

A massive, densely packed array of origami cranes surged towards Bai Xiaosheng. At first, Bai Xiaosheng paid no attention, but when he noticed the madness flashing in Yan Wuxin's eyes, he instantly became alert.

His pupils contracted sharply, as if he had realized something.

However, by this point, it was already too late.

Then, countless origami cranes filled the sky, spontaneously combusting one by one before exploding violently.

"Boom!!!"

The seemingly ordinary origami cranes, when they explode, produce a force that should not be underestimated.

The explosion of hundreds or even thousands of origami cranes was powerful enough to level a dictatorship.

The continuous explosions lasted for several dozen breaths.

After everything calmed down, dust and smoke filled the air.

The once vast, one-man show was transformed into a terrifying sinkhole.

The pre-arranged silence by Bai Xiaosheng was also abruptly broken by the explosion.

The deafening explosion inevitably leaked out.

As a result, many mushroom masters on the outskirts of Chaotic Star Island heard what was happening here.

They were startled at first, and then they all looked in the direction from which the sound came.

However, once you look, you'll be shocked.

A mushroom cloud of smoke and dust slowly rose from the direction of the One-Man Hall.

"Ahhh, help, help me..."

Amidst the ruins of the one-man show, Zhou Zilun was also tragically affected.

Most of his body was buried in the rubble, and he was severely injured in the explosion.

Fortunately, he was some distance from the center of the explosion; otherwise, his injuries would have been far more severe than just serious.

Logically speaking, Zhou Zilun should have retreated unscathed and left the place after covering Bai Xiaosheng's entry into the Yiyantang.

However, Zhou Zilun believed that although Bai Xiaosheng's cultivation was stronger than his, he was just a newcomer and there was a possibility that something might go wrong.

So he took it upon himself to stay, intending to clean up Bai Xiaosheng's mess and steal some credit.

That's right, it's about stealing credit!

The claim that he distrusted Bai Xiaosheng and wanted to clean up his mess was merely a plausible excuse Zhou Zilun devised to claim credit for himself.

After all, what ability does a level 3 mushroom master have to clean up the mess left by a level 4 mushroom master?
He's not some monster like Wu Liang!

As it turns out, even though human nature is unpredictable, it is impossible to completely change a person's nature at the fourth level.

Zhou Zilun was inherently greedy and jealous, and it was precisely because of this greed and jealousy that he ended up suffering such a severe blow.

"Noisy!"

A sound came from within the billowing smoke.

The next moment, a sharp sword fell from the sky and pierced directly into Zhou Zilun's skull.

He was screaming in agony when his body convulsed, and he fell silent instantly, dying on the spot.

The person who intervened to understand Zhou Zilun was not Bai Xiaosheng, but Yan Wuxin, who used the Tongue-Sword Mushroom.

Yan Wuxin clutched her heart, riddled with holes, and laboriously blew away the thick smoke, revealing her deathly pale face.

The explosion just now injured the enemy by a thousand but also caused eight hundred casualties on its own side, and the damage to her was also considerable.

The mushroom was completely destroyed in the explosion, which saved her life.

Yan Wuxin staggered, glanced at Zhou Zilun's corpse, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

As intelligent as she was, she knew that Bai Xiaosheng's ability to evade all obstacles and infiltrate the secret room on the second floor meant that he had betrayed her.

Otherwise, why wouldn't Bai Xiaosheng kill Zhou Zilun to prevent him from leaking information?

"Hmph, he brought it on himself..."

Yan Wuxin snorted coldly, a huge weight lifted from his heart.

Now that she has purged the traitor and dealt with that cult villain, she can finally catch her breath.

However, just as the thought of breaking one's promise flashed through one's mind, suddenly!

"Cough cough..." (End of this chapter)
