Chapter 147: Fighting Mu Lao, surrounded by demons and evil spirits
When the blood-red sword energy bloomed above Shen Bai's cold moon, Shen Bai's aura was also rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If Mu Lao's aura is a sharp sword that can cut through everything, then Shen Bai is like the sea that embraces everything. No matter how turbulent the attack is, it will disappear into the sea like a drop in the ocean.

The momentum between the two sides continued to overlap, one after another, and neither of them was willing to give in.

Mu Lao felt the powerful aura of Shen Bai, narrowed his eyes, and said lightly: "Very good, you have just entered the Tongmai realm, and you already possess such a powerful aura. The four words "adversity conquers" are really tailor-made for you."

Shen Bai raised the Frost Moon in his hand and held it horizontally to his shoulder. The blood-red sword energy above the Frost Moon continued to surge and spit out: "Master Mu, take this sword from me."

Mu Lao nodded: "Come on."

Shen Bai didn't waste any words and slowly thrust out the Hanyue in his hand.

In the eyes of many members of the Tianjian Division, Shen Bai's sword was extremely slow, so slow that they all felt like a trembling old man waving the cane in his hand.

But that's just how they feel.

Because when Shen Bai thrust out the sword, the blood-red sword energy turned into an unpredictable cold light, shooting straight towards Mu Lao.

Within this sword energy, there were thousands of faint rays of light, and thousands of blood-red sword energies condensed, making a piercing whistling sound.

Seeing this, many members of the Tianjian Division wiped the cold sweat from their heads.

They found that if they stood in front of Shen Bai, they would probably be intimidated by Shen Bai's aura before Shen Bai could strike the sword, not to mention a head-on attack against the blood-red sword energy.

Everyone has a feeling of being on the verge of death.

This is only because Shen Bai did not draw his sword at them. If he had really drawn his sword at them, those who were slightly weaker would have been scared out of their wits.

Ouyang Jian stood in the crowd, watching Shen Bai swing the blood-red sword energy, his fists clenched tightly, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"I was right. His swordsmanship has reached an extremely high level. He didn't use his full strength when fighting me."

Only those who truly understand swordsmanship know that Shen Bai's sword, although seemingly ordinary, actually encompasses countless variations.

Every change is a life-or-death crisis.

Once you dodge a sword, the horror that follows will surge.

Ouyang Jian became more and more certain, and he also knew that this trip might be the right one for him.

After he was accepted as a disciple by his master, he reached the top among the younger generation in Huaxingzhou with his extremely high talent in swordsmanship and became a person that people looked up to.

At that time, he even felt lonely.

Because he found that the younger generation of the entire Huaxing State could not withstand a few moves in his hands.

When a master is at the top, loneliness arises naturally.

But this time, after arriving in Fenglin State, Ouyang Jian discovered that the saying "there are people who are better than you and there are things better than you" was vividly applied to Shen Bai.

But his heart has long been honed to be as sharp and indomitable as a sword.

Even after seeing Shen Bai's superb swordsmanship, he was not discouraged at all.

"I will surpass him, maybe even beat him."

Ouyang Jian encouraged himself in his heart.

People have different opinions.

Mu Lao was the one who faced Shen Bai's attack directly.

When he saw the long sword in Shen Bai's hand thrust out and the blood-red sword energy shooting towards him, he also took action.

Mu Lao felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.

But in this state, he swung the sword in his hand.

This sword was extremely exquisite. It looked like just an ordinary horizontal slash, but countless pure sword energies surrounded Mu Lao's body.

Every sword energy is a unique sword technique, and every sword technique is filled with exquisite sword moves.

"boom!"

The sword energy from both sides collided with each other, and a terrifying roar was heard.

Shen Bai's blood-red sword energy dissipated, and Mu Lao's pure sword energy also disappeared into thin air.

Mu Lao shook his head: "Shen Bai, use all your means. Although this sword can easily kill those in the Tongmai realm, it is still far from enough for me."

Shen Bai nodded: "In that case, you have to be careful."

He certainly didn't use his full strength just now.

That sword strike was just to see what level he could reach by purely using the Demon-Breaking Blood Sword Dance.

Mu Lao also directly explained that although this sword is very powerful for people in the Tongmai realm, it is only for those in the Tongmai realm.

With this one sword, Shen Bai can directly kill a person at the Tongmai realm, but for Mu Lao, it is still not enough.

But it's not a big problem.

After Shen Bai said this, he raised the blood-red sword energy again.

The sword energy on Hanyue changed this time.

The words of the Heart-Confusing Spell were suspended around Shen Bai's body.

As Shen Bai snapped his fingers, countless words merged into the blood-red sword energy, adding a touch of sacred aura to it.

But Shen Bai did not stop. A piece of the shadow under his feet separated and merged into the gap.

The blood-red sword energy already had a contrasting sense of righteousness, and with the addition of the Heart-Confusing Spell, it even added a touch of ethereal aura.

But with the injection of shadow, a strange and cold aura also appeared above the blood-red sword energy.

Shen Bai looked at the sword energy, shifted his feet slightly, and displayed the explosive speed attribute of traveling thousands of miles.

Shen Bai displayed explosive speed, which had reached the highest level.

The blood-red sword energy shot out, and at that moment, the members of the Tianjian Division who were watching the battle around suddenly felt that the whole world had lost its color.

"What's going on? Why do I feel this sense of despair, as if I'm facing something terrifying and bizarre?"

"I feel the same way. Lord Shen's sword strike is truly a pinnacle sword. I'm afraid no one in the entire Tianjian Division, except for Elder Mu's level, would dare to take it."

"More than that, I feel that this sword, even before it's released, can bring terrifying pressure to people."

The members of the Tianjian Division were whispering to each other.

Both sides on the stage turned a deaf ear to these words.

Mu Lao looked at the approaching blood-red sword energy, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

Just now, a sense of life and death crisis emerged in his heart.

During the decades that Mu Lao has been traveling the world, he has encountered many life-and-death crises, so he is also very clear about the mystery.

He could feel that if Shen Bai's sword hit him, even he would not be able to withstand it.

"It seems that we really can't underestimate the enemy. In that case, I will also use all my strength."

Mu Lao flicked the long sword in his hand.

As he moved his sword, ripples appeared on it.

After the ripples appeared, they quickly expanded and turned into a reverberating sword energy.

The reverberating sword energy fiercely attacked Shen Bai's blood-red sword energy, and it immediately began to tremble violently, as if it could not hold on for long.

But Mu Lao didn't think so. He slowly raised his left hand and waved it towards Shen Bai's position.

After his left hand swung out, endless sword energy swirled above his palm, interweaving in the sky to form a giant sword that covered the sky and the sun.

The giant sword fell madly towards Shen Bai.

Not only defense, but also attack.

The blood-red sword energy collided with Mu Lao's sword energy and dissipated with a loud bang.

Mu Lao's giant sword also slashed fiercely towards Shen Bai's chest.

Looking at the huge sword energy that was gradually approaching, Shen Bai narrowed his eyes, but did not dodge or evade. The surrounding Qi gradually condensed into white light, like white jade.

Shen Bai's free left hand also rose up quickly.

On his left hand, the blazing Buddha light, carrying a holy aura, fiercely blasted towards the giant sword in the sky.

Behind Shen Bai, the three-meter-tall golden statue of the Dharmadhatu raised its head and roared, then raised its fists and punched forward fiercely.

Words were entwined on the two fists, and shadows were accompanying them.

The Qi in Shen Bai's body also formed its own formation.

Mu Lao's huge sword energy shattered.

In the crowd below, Ouyang Jian saw this scene, his eyes widened, and it seemed as if several eggs could be stuffed into his mouth. He did not come back to his senses for a long time.

Next to him, a member of the Heavenly Monitoring Division nudged him with his elbow and said jokingly, "Well, now you understand why we took it for granted?"

Ouyang Jian finally came to his senses. He looked at the Tianjian Division member with surprise and said, "Master Shen's swordsmanship is unparalleled. I thought he only knew swordsmanship, but I didn't expect he could do other things. His boxing skills are not inferior to his swordsmanship."

He was really shocked.

After all, he was not a native of Fenglin State, so naturally he knew nothing about Shen Bai.

Ouyang Jian originally thought that Shen Bai was better than him in swordsmanship, but he was probably just average in other areas.

But now it seems that is not the case.

If it were him, he would not be able to take Shen Bai's punch at all.

"If Shen Bai not only uses his fists but also uses other skills, then I will be in even greater danger." Ouyang Jian thought to himself.

While Ouyang Jian was thinking this, the members of the Tianjian Division also started to move.

"Master Shen has many skills, and these are just two of them." The Tianjian Division member was very proud and said with the tone of a veteran: "You haven't seen it before. Once you see it, you will know what it means to be powerful."

Ouyang Jian's face showed fear. "I see it now. If it is true as you said, Lord Shen has other abilities, I'm afraid that the younger generation of the entire Great Zhou Kingdom will not be able to find a match for him."

The Tianjian Division member nodded and said, "You are right. I am afraid that only the older generation can rival Lord Shen, or change it to something else."

Ouyang Jian was curious when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "What should I change it to?"

A member of the Tianjian Division said very seriously, "Perhaps only something weird can excite Lord Shen."

This is a rumor circulating in the Tianjiansi. If Shen Bai wants to get excited, he just needs to go out and look for powerful monsters.

When Ouyang Jian got the answer, the expression on his face became even more interesting.

On the ring, the attacks of both sides were once again resolved by the other side.

Mu Lao frowned and said, "Shen Bai, let's fight quickly. My next sword attack won't be so easy to block."

As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword in Mu Lao's hand stabbed again.

This time, Shen Bai felt that there were some changes in Mu Lao's sword.

There was something strange about this sword.

It seems that there is only one sword energy floating on the long sword, but within this sword energy, there are hundreds of kinds of hidden power.

This time, Mu Lao did not let the sword energy leave the long sword, but chose to fight Shen Bai in close combat.

Shen Bai frowned, but did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward, used the divine travel skill of a thousand miles, turned into a shadow, and rushed towards Mu Lao.

Above Shen Bai's cold moon, there was also a blood-red sword energy covering it.

The long swords of both sides overlapped with each other, and in just a blink of an eye, thousands of swords had been swung.

Each sword collided with each other, making a clanging sound.

At this moment, there was no special effect of gorgeous sword energy, but every move was extremely dangerous, and every move was filled with a sense of crisis of life and death.

This pure melee combat, in the eyes of everyone, is filled with a violent beauty.

All the members present had their eyes wide open, and everyone was watching very seriously, as if they couldn't forget every move they saw.

Although they all had different cultivation methods, they all watched extremely carefully, because when masters of this level fought each other, even a slight comprehension would be of great use to them.

At this moment, the sword techniques between the two began to show murderous intent.

As the murderous intent filled the air, countless sword energies echoed around, covering everything in sight.

This was the residual power, but just the residual power made it difficult for the members present to see clearly what was happening on the ring.

At some point, Liu Wufeng appeared in a two-story building not far away, leaning on the balcony and looking at the arena in front of him.

"Shen Bai will win." Liu Wufeng thought to himself.

Although this sword energy blocked the vision of many members of the Tianjian Division, masters of Liu Wufeng's level could still see it clearly.

Through the mystery, Liu Wufeng saw that Mu Lao's swordsmanship had shown signs of decline.

Shen Bai not only knows swordsmanship, but also has various magical abilities, and his aura is getting stronger and stronger.

Liu Wufeng knew that Mu Lao had lost this battle.

An idea emerged in his mind.

"Even if I were there, I would probably lose."

After this thought came to mind, Liu Wufeng's eyes became wandering.

He was fighting with Shen Bai in his mind, simulating Liu Wufeng's moves, and he was also thinking about how to respond.

After a while, Liu Wufeng put down his right hand and put it behind his back.

"Can't beat it."

Three simple words came out of Liu Wufeng's mouth.

Liu Wufeng was very sure that Shen Bai now surpassed the combat effectiveness of Fenglin State.

In other words, the combat level of the state-level city is no longer able to deal with Shen Bai.

"After this internal exam, perhaps Shen Bai will not stay in Fenglin Province for long." Liu Wufeng thought.

Then he quickly shook his head.

"Now, Shen Bai has possessed strength that even I cannot match. What awaits him is an even brighter future. I shouldn't feel regretful, but rather relieved."

Liu Wufeng walked down from the second floor of the building and came to the arena.

Many members of the Tianjian Division immediately made way for Liu Wufeng when they saw him.

Liu Wufeng nodded and said, "Just look at me, don't worry about me."

Having said that, everyone still maintained an attitude of awe.

Liu Wufeng didn't waste any time talking. He came to the front of the ring and waited patiently.

After a moment, the sword energy covering the arena gradually dissipated.

There were a lot at first, then less and less, and finally disappeared into thin air.

Many members of the Tianjian Division immediately turned their eyes over, not caring about Liu Wufeng being beside them, wanting to see the result.

Then, the result silenced them all.

General Mu sheathed the long sword in his hand and looked at the cold moon hovering around his neck, a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Now, you are stronger than me. I lose."

The Sword King of Maple Forest State, who had roamed the Maple Forest State without a single defeat, seemed to finally relax at this moment.

There was no decadence on Mu Lao's part, nor any so-called powerlessness. Instead, he was filled with a feeling of relief.

The way he looked at Shen Bai was as if he was looking at a younger generation who was better than him, with a look that no one could understand.

Only Mu Lao himself knew that he had witnessed Shen Bai coming to Fenglin Island and step by step reaching his current position.

From a newbie who knew nothing, he has become the top combat force in a state-level city today.

It takes some time, but not much.

Mu Lao also witnessed all the thrilling life-and-death battles.

Now that Shen Bai has finally grown up, Mu Lao is of course happy.

He has never been discouraged.

Even at such an old age, he still feels happy when he sees the younger ones becoming stronger than him, or even stronger than himself.

Shen Bai took back Han Yue, and with the sound of Qiang's life, he bowed to Mu Lao and made a great salute: "Thank you, Mu Lao. I can have this level of strength now, thanks to your care back then."

Mu Lao waved his hand and said, "Don't play these tricks with me, kid. I know your character very well. Your current strength is all earned through your own hard work. It has nothing to do with me. I just helped you when you needed me."

Shen Bai shook his head and continued, "I will always remember the gratitude I owe you. If Elder Mu has any instructions in the future, I will go through fire and water to fulfill them without hesitation."

The Sword King of Maple Forest State before him was one of the people in Maple Forest State who was truly devoted to him.

Shen Bai gave him enough respect.

The relief in Mu Lao's eyes grew stronger and stronger.

"Even with such strength, you still maintain a calm heart. It is indeed as Master Liu said. You may reach the pinnacle of the world in the future. My meeting you is also a fate. I can even brag about it in the future."

All the members of the Tianjian Division around him fell into silence.

They knew the outcome, it was expected, but also beyond their imagination.

They thought Shen Bai would win narrowly, but they didn't expect that after the battle, Shen Bai's face was still flushed, as if he had not suffered any damage at all.

A member of the Tianjian Division sighed silently.

"Ugh……"

The sighs seemed to be contagious, echoing one after another across the open space.

There are many young people here. They seem to see a mountain in Shen Bai, pressing them to the point of suffocation.

Seeing this, Liu Wufeng snorted coldly and said, "Come on, everyone! There are many people in this world who are stronger than you. If you don't even have this kind of character, get out of the Jiantian Division as soon as possible and go hang out in the martial arts world. Don't come here and bother my eyes."

After Liu Wufeng said this, the members of the Tianjian Division present recovered a little.

Just as Liu Wufeng said, they were all promoted from the constables in various counties, and they were also the best among the constables.

Even though he felt a deep sense of powerlessness, he quickly adjusted his mood. This was far superior to those greenhouse flowers cultivated by powerful forces.

"Okay, let's all go. Shen Bai, you're leaving soon. There are some things I need to talk to you about in detail." Liu Wufeng said, looking back.

The members of the Tianjian Division around them heard the governor's words and then left the arena one after another.

Only Ouyang Jian remained where he was.

Shen Bai and Mu Lao walked down from the ring. Mu Lao glanced at Ouyang Jian, and Ouyang Jian immediately became very restrained.

"Um... hello, Uncle Master, my name is Ouyang Jian, I am your disciple and also your nephew."

He stuttered in his speech and seemed to lack confidence.

Ouyang Jian knew very well that the fight between the two brothers was quite exciting.

He was afraid that this uncle-in-law would not abide by martial ethics and would catch him and beat him up, which would be really embarrassing.

Fortunately, Mr. Mu was not the kind of person who disrespected his elders. He turned his head and glanced at Shen Bai and said.

"I'm going back to the resource room first. Please have two cups of tea with me before I leave. Also, I'd like you to take care of this kid on the way there."

Ouyang Jian widened his eyes when he heard this.

He didn't expect that not only did Mu Lao not beat him, he even asked Shen Bai to take care of him.

This is simply outrageous.

After all, his master described his uncle as extremely vicious.

Shen Bai found it funny. Although Mr. Mu looked difficult to approach, he was actually an elder who cared about the younger generation.

After Mu Lao left, Shen Bai looked at Liu Wufeng and asked.

"Lord Liu, I will set off today."

Today is the day to set off.

It takes a long journey to reach the place of Neikao.

During this period, you can also improve your proficiency in other magical powers, which is killing two birds with one stone.

Liu Wufeng nodded, then took out a map and handed it to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai took it in his hand, opened the map, and looked through it carefully: "It turns out that the destination is Yunxi Prefecture."

Yunxi Prefecture is extremely far away from Fenglin Prefecture, and it takes a month to travel there.

Now that Shen Bai has set out in advance, even if he takes the official road, it will take nearly half a month to get there without stopping day and night.

Of course, it was impossible for him to travel day and night like this. Including various rest stops in between, the journey would probably take twenty days.

Liu Wufeng nodded and said, "Yes, that's how we chose the location. It's the closest route to all the state-level cities. After all, considering that some places are remote, we chose this perfect location."

Shen Bai put the map away.

Liu Wufeng continued, "This time, I need to discuss some issues with you in detail."

Shen Bai raised his head and smiled, "Master Liu is talking about the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddhist Sect. I'm afraid these two forces have already been eyeing the day of departure."

Liu Wufeng nodded and said, "That's right. We can't help you when you leave this time. After all, the journey is too long. If we leave, Fenglin State will be left without anyone to guard it, and we might be in danger."

Shen Bai said that he knew it very well. After all, those evil forces did not dare to act recklessly because they had the Heavenly Supervisor in Fenglin State.

If we leave Fenglin State, the old nest will be empty and it will probably be even more dangerous.

Shen Bai smiled and said, "Lord Liu, you told me this because of something else."

He had taken all these things into consideration, so he knew very well what Liu Wufeng was thinking.

But he needed Liu Wufeng to say it, otherwise if he thought of it in the wrong way, it would be embarrassing.

Liu Wufeng nodded and said, "If I hadn't fought and defeated Mu Lao, perhaps I would have thought of other ways to get you out of Maple Forest State. Of course, there would be danger, but I would have minimized the danger."

"But now that you've defeated Mu Lao, I don't think this is necessary. Of course, it's entirely up to you to decide."

Shen Bai nodded without saying anything, meaning that Liu Wufeng should continue.

After a brief thought, Liu Wufeng said, "There are two options. It depends on which one you choose. The first is to follow the original plan and take a secret route to the destination. There will still be threats, but the probability will be smaller."

"You may not be able to find the wild Taoist sect or the wild Buddhist sect."

Shen Bai touched his chin and asked, "What about the second one?"

Liu Wufeng said slowly: "The second is to set out along the normal route. The Ye Dao Sect and Ye Fo Sect will definitely attack you, but this is an opportunity. Your strength has already surpassed that of Mu Lao and me, so killing them may not be too difficult."

"I'll give you both options. No matter which one you choose, I'll help you."

Shen Bai thought for a moment and said, "If it's the second case, the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddhist Sect will definitely come out in full force."

Liu Wufeng nodded and said, "That's right, they will definitely come out in full force and won't miss the opportunity to deal with you, but you also know that this is also an opportunity for us."

Beside him, Ouyang Jian listened to the conversation between the two with his eyes wide open.

He was also very clear that the two forces, the Wild Taoist Sect and the Wild Buddhist Sect, were quite rampant in Huaxing Province where he was.

He didn't expect that these two forces hated Shen Bai so much and wanted to kill Shen Bai by all means.

Shen Bai touched his chin and continued, "Master Liu, I choose the second option."

Liu Wufeng asked: "Why did you choose the second option?"

Shen Bai smiled and said, "When I deal with my enemies, I always cut them off at their roots. There's a saying that goes, 'I will let others sleep soundly beside my bed.' If you become my enemy, you will only end up dead in my hands."

"They're very good at hiding, so I can't find them. But this is an opportunity, a good opportunity that will save me from a lot of trouble. I certainly don't want to miss it."

"hiss……"

Ouyang Jian, who was standing nearby, took a deep breath and looked at Shen Bai with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

If it were him, he would most likely choose the first option, after all, it is too dangerous.

People like them who practice swordsmanship don't damage their brains, so they won't seek death.

But unexpectedly, Shen Bai chose the second option.

Shen Bai continued, "They tried every possible means to kill me, and I also tried every possible means to eliminate them. Since that's the case, let's not have an easy time. This is an opportunity, for them, and for me as well."

Liu Wufeng asked, "How confident are you?"

"It's very big." Shen Bai pointed to the side.

Not far away, Amber was squatting on the ground, licking the fur on her paws.

"When I was fighting Mu Lao just now, I didn't use the power of the strange beast."

As soon as he said this, Liu Wufeng completely relaxed.

Amber is a combat-type monster and has evolved once. If it possesses Shen Bai, Shen Bai will have double the ability.

But when Shen Bai defeated Mu Lao, he did not use the power of amber. In other words, if Shen Bai let amber attach to his body, the battle would end faster.

"In that case, I will prepare a carriage for you and we will set off immediately."

Time is very urgent. Although there is still enough time to depart today, arriving earlier can reduce some trouble.

Shen Bai nodded, then watched Liu Wufeng leave.

After a brief thought, he asked Ouyang Jian to wait for him at the door and went to the resource room.

After drinking two cups of tea and chatting with Mu Lao for a few words, Shen Bai went to Ding Twenty-three Department again and met Huang Guang and Kong Fang.

"You two stay here and stay calm when something happens." Shen Bai said.

Huang Guang and the other two nodded and said, "I wish Master Shen a great victory upon his return."

Ever since Shen Bai came to Ding Twenty-Three Department, the two of them knew that Shen Bai was no ordinary person and that he would soar into the sky sooner or later.

But I didn't expect it to be so soon.

Shen Bai responded, said goodbye to the two of them, and walked out of the room.

After thinking for a moment, he walked towards the registration room again.

Long Yan was busy in the registration room. When she saw Shen Bai coming, she covered her mouth and chuckled.

Shen Bai bowed and said, "Master Long, goodbye."

When Long Yan heard this, the frivolous look on her face disappeared, and then she showed a hint of seriousness and stopped arguing with Shen Bai.

"Shen Bai, remember, there is one principle you must adhere to outside, and that is the principle of the martial arts world."

"What are the principles in the underworld?"

"Whoever has the bigger fist is the principle." Long Yan said directly: "When in doubt, just punch him. If you can't win, run away. Always take care of your own life."

Shen Bai nodded to indicate that he understood.

This time, he visited all the acquaintances in the Tianshi Division.

As for Qin Shuang, he was still on his way to Beijing to study, so he was not in Fenglin Province.

After finishing everything, Shen Bai came to the gate of the Tianjian Division. Along the way, many Tianjian Division members said goodbye to him, and he responded one by one.

At the door, the carriage was ready, and Ouyang Jian was sitting outside with a whip in his hand.

"Master Shen, let's go."

This time, we took the official road.

Just now, Ouyang Jian asked the driver to get off and he took on the role of the driver.

Although both of them can use martial arts to fly, there are many inconveniences during the flight.

If passing through a city, you must land and go through various procedures to explain the reason for the flight.

After all, if those in the state of unity could fly randomly, the Great Zhou Kingdom would be in chaos, so Shen Bai felt that it would be much faster to take the official road.

Of course, the most important point is that there is still time, so Shen Bai might as well improve his proficiency in magical powers on the way there.

Now, he should practice his proficiency in the Hunyuan Breaking Formation Technique, and the method is very simple. He just needs to constantly hone the Qi in his body into a formation.

Shen Bai no longer hesitated and stepped onto the carriage.

Liu Wufeng stood at the door, watching Ouyang Jian waving his whip. After the carriage gradually drove away, he turned around and returned to the Jiantian Division.

But before leaving, he muttered softly.

"I have to pay more attention to these special recruitment spots in the future. If I find another treasure like Shen Bai, I will be really rich."

Although he felt that this idea was not very realistic, he couldn't help but think about it.

……

The official road was covered with dark clouds.

Although there was no drizzle in the sky, the gloomy dark clouds and the sunlight blocked by the clouds created a depressing atmosphere.

In this atmosphere, a carriage was speeding along the official road.

It was sunny a few days ago, but recently the weather has become worse and worse, and even the horse-drawn carriages on the official road have become fewer and fewer.

On the carriage, Ouyang Jian was driving the carriage while looking at the dark clouds floating in the sky, and turned his head to ask.

"Brother Shen, the dark clouds are getting thicker and thicker. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily soon. Why don't we take a rest at the next place?"

Shen Bai's voice came from the carriage.

"Okay, thank you for troubling Brother Ouyang."

Ouyang Jian chuckled, did not answer, and continued driving the carriage.

There were more and more clouds in the sky, and a light drizzle with a hint of coolness fell from the sky. In just a moment, the rain gradually became heavier, and the official road was splashed with mud.

The drizzle turned into heavy rain, continuously dripping onto the ground.

Ouyang Jian, who was driving the carriage, frowned slightly.

Then he tightened the reins in his hands.

With the neighing of the horse, the carriage soon stopped on the official road.

This time, they set out from Maple Forest State and had changed horses several times.

The so-called horse that can travel a thousand miles a day does not exist at all.

And every time they changed horses, they used good ones, so even when they were driving a carriage, they were extremely fast.

This extremely fast speed might be very uncomfortable for ordinary people, but Shen Bai and Ouyang Jian were cultivators, so they thought it was normal.

As the carriage came to an abrupt stop, Ouyang Jian's gaze remained in the distance.

In the distance, there was still a dense drizzle, but when the drizzle fell in mid-air, it suddenly seemed to be blocked by something.

In the blink of an eye, the rain slid down to the side.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier covering the entire official road.

Ouyang Jian's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and one hand grasped the long sword at his waist.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Shen Bai walked out of it and stood on the carriage, one hand on the top of the carriage, the other hand on the hilt of Han Yue's sword, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

"Formation."

Shen Bai uttered these two simple words slowly.

Ouyang Jian's frown relaxed slightly, he turned to look at Shen Bai and said, "Brother Shen, it looks like you're in trouble."

Shen Bai said, "They used a formation to isolate their aura and figure, then ambushed them on the official road, waiting for my arrival. It seems they have been planning this for a long time. I want to know how big a gift this is."

Ouyang Jian asked in return: "For Brother Shen, is this considered a gift?"

As he spoke, Ouyang Jian jumped off the carriage and pulled out the ice and snow from his waist.

But before he could pull it out halfway, Shen Bai put his hand on his wrist.

Ouyang Jian asked curiously, "Brother Shen, why is this happening?"

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "This is my grudge, I will solve it myself. They spent a huge price on this trip, so it must not be that easy."

Ouyang Jian fell into deep thought.

Shen Bai continued, "Brother Ouyang, this carriage is very expensive, and this horse is also very expensive. We are still some distance away from the next destination, so protecting the carriage is important."

Although it was raining, the two of them used Qi as a defense and the rain did not fall on them.

After a brief thought, Ouyang Jian grabbed the reins of the carriage and dragged it aside.

He was reassured.

If Shen Bai is not his opponent, he will just be a waste of food.

After all, Shen Bai is the top combat force in Fenglin State.

In front, as Shen Bai and Ouyang Jian talked, figures emerged from the empty official road.

Taoists in robes and monks with bald heads were standing densely on the official road.

Obviously, he had been waiting for a long time.

Shen Bai looked up and said calmly, "So many of them have come. It seems they have come out in full force."

Monk Yuanan and Taoist Qianqing looked at each other with sneers on their faces.

Shen Bai said: "I don't know you two, I guess you should be the leaders of the two evil forces in Fenglin State."

Taoist Qianqing said slowly, "I want you to die knowing full well. I am the leader of the Wild Dao Sect in Fenglin Prefecture, and my name is Taoist Qianqing. This is Monk Yuan'an, the leader of the Wild Buddhist Sect. I am here today to borrow your head."

Shen Bai shook his head: "I do have a little background, but relying on this bunch of misfits to take my head is really too much of a disregard for me."

"Don't talk nonsense." Taoist Qianqing waved his hand and said, "Let's see what's really going on."

Shen Bai unsheathed the Han Yue in his hand, and his face became extremely cold.

Today, the matter of Fenglin State has been concluded. From now on, he will have no enemies in Fenglin State.

Just as Taoist Qianqing said, the most important thing is to see the real results with your own hands.

When Han Yue was pulled out by Shen Bai, Monk Yuan An, who had been silent on the side, suddenly put his hands together, and then an extremely dark light flashed on Monk Yuan An's body.

Although it is said to be black, it is actually a dark purple color and looks like black at first glance.

As the deep purple light continued to emerge, the Taoist Qianqing next to him made a spell.

A black fog appeared around, and in a flash, all the official roads were blocked.

As the fog continued to gather, it turned into pitch darkness.

There was a drizzle in the sky, but it disappeared without a trace under the cover of black fog.

The bright sky disappeared, replaced by darkness.

In the darkness, a blood-red sphere hung high above.

Shen Bai felt a cold and gloomy aura surrounding him.

"Today I will let you experience the power of the Taoist and Buddhist reincarnation method." Taoist Qianqing sneered.

The group of members of the Wild Taoist Sect and the Wild Buddhist Sect activated the Qi in their bodies.

Evil rays of light rose up, like pillars of heaven, converging on the sphere.

Not far away, Ouyang Jian saw this situation and shouted, "Shen Zhong, be careful. This place has become a separate space, and it seems to be extremely advantageous to them."

Shen Bai nodded, and then thrust the Hanyue in his hand forward.

Blood-red sword energy bloomed from above the cold moon.

Thousands of sword energies, accompanied by the Heart Confusion Spell and the Shadow Thousand Killings, filled the surroundings with a murderous aura.

"Today, it comes to an end."

Shen Bai waved his sleeves, and the sword energy was like a dragon, sweeping towards the Taoist Qianqing in the front.
