In this bizarre world, I can extract supernatural powers.

The time it takes for two incense sticks to burn might just pass in the blink of an eye at other times.

But at this moment, the two incense sticks were longer than Liu Yue's life.

Xu Bai said calmly, "If we can't hold on, we'll both die; if we do, it will die."

After speaking, Xu Bai circulated his true qi.

A large amount of vital energy is being poured into the left hand.

Without pausing, he used the Yin Wood Thunder Sword Technique to turn all the attacking tree branches into ashes.

But more branches came crashing down, like a tidal wave, trying to bury him.

Liu Yue took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine, I'll trust you this once."

The red line suddenly surged, and the true qi covering it became as thick as ink.

With a flick of her finger, Liu Yue formed a round red ball from the red thread, enveloping Xu Bai, herself, Wu Tie, and the others.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed continuously outside the red ball, like thunder, sending shivers down one's spine.

Liu Yue's face was deathly pale, as bloodless as paper.

"Xu Bai, hurry up!"

Each strike of the branch felt like a blow to her body, causing her immense pain.

This is her secret technique, which may be able to hold out for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.

Xu Bai nodded slightly and accelerated the infusion of true qi.

The bombardment from the tree branches outside became more and more frequent, and the red ball shrank at a visible rate.

Liu Yue's face turned from white to green, and blood kept spilling from the corner of her mouth as if it were free.

"Is it ready yet?"

"Soon."

"How much longer?"

"Soon."

"You're always saying 'almost, almost,' but just how fast?!"

"A man shouldn't say he's fast."

"you……"

Liu Yue said angrily, "How can you make such a lewd joke at a time like this!"

Xu Bai glanced at Liu Yue and said, "Open the red ball."

Liu Yue was slightly taken aback.

She was still angry just now, after all, Xu Bai was still joking at such a critical moment.

But to her surprise, Xu Bai asked her to open the red ball.

Liu Yue gritted her teeth and raised her hand to wave at the red ball.

She trusts Xu Bai, and now she can only trust Xu Bai.

The red ball made a small hole, and after being hit by a branch, the hole quickly expanded until it became wide enough for one person to pass through.

At this moment, Xu Bai exerted force with both feet, transforming into a blur as he leaped out of the small hole.

The moment he leaped out, several tree branches came crashing down on him with lightning speed.

Xu Bai's expression remained calm as he raised his hand and unleashed several bolts of lightning, blasting the tree branches into dust.

But more and more lightning bolts appeared ahead, weaving together into a net that enveloped Xu Bai.

Xu Bai gave a cold laugh.

His left fist thrust straight out.

The true qi accumulated over the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn erupted at this moment.

After a large amount of true qi erupted, the tree branches turned into dust that filled the sky.

Xu Bai, however, did not lose momentum and continued to advance forward with firm steps.

"boom!"

The fist touched the tree trunk, and the surrounding branches turned to ashes.

Even the translucent soul of the woman, which was wrapped in tree branches, was blasted apart by this punch.

Liu Yue froze on the spot, instinctively exclaiming, "Such powerful offensive force!"

She finally understood why Xu Bai needed the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.

This explosive power was simply the strongest she had ever seen at the same level.

A sense of hope welled up in Liu Yue's heart.

But the next moment, hope turned into despair.

The translucent woman was injured, but was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Still not working?"

Liu Yue sighed, "It seems I'm really going to die here today."

Such restorative abilities are beyond human capabilities.

Even if Xu Bai could continue to accumulate true qi, by the time Xu Bai finished accumulating it, the other party would have already recovered.

Not to mention that it takes about two incense sticks' worth of time to accumulate them.

Liu Yue didn't believe she could hold out for another two incense sticks.

That's simply impossible.

Just as Liu Yue was in despair, a voice suddenly rang out.

"I won't die today."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue subconsciously looked up, her pupils suddenly contracting.

At this moment, Xu Bai was sent flying backwards, but in the instant he was sent flying backwards, a point of silver light shot out from Xu Bai's fingertip.

Liu Yue looked closely and realized it was an embroidery needle.

The embroidery needle shot out at a speed visible to the naked eye and pierced into the translucent woman's body.

Immediately afterwards, the translucent woman's body turned black.

"This is...poison?"

Liu Yue was a person of the martial arts world, and having traveled the martial arts world for many years, how could she not recognize poison?

What Liu Yue didn't expect was that Xu Bai was also poisonous.

Just how capable is this person?

At this moment, Xu Bai became incredibly mysterious in Liu Yue's eyes.

Xu Bai landed steadily and said calmly, "It's done."

done?

Liu Yue stared intently at it.

After the embroidery needle pierced the translucent woman's body, her body was immediately corroded by the poison.

Even with her extremely strong regenerative abilities, the toxicity was like a leech, limiting the woman's recovery power.

As the toxicity spread, the translucent woman became even more transparent.

The branches of the locust tree twisted wildly, as if in extreme pain.

The twisting motion gradually decreases until it returns to calm.

The translucent woman, enveloped in tree branches, gradually faded until she vanished into nothingness.

A plume of smoke appeared before my eyes.

[Slaying the strange beings at the fourth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm, gaining eighty years of lifespan.]

He lived to be eighty years old.

Xu Bai's lips curled up slightly.

This trip was indeed extremely difficult.

If Liu Yue hadn't resisted for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, and if Xu Bai hadn't used his accumulated true qi to break through her defenses and then finished her off with the Hundred Poisons Breaking Mystery Needle, they would both probably have died here.

Liu Yue sat down on the ground, not caring about her image at all, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand.

"That's...exciting!"

She had been a ghost hunter for a long time, but had never been in such danger as she was today.

If she had been a different teammate, without Xu Bai's extraordinary abilities, she would probably be a corpse by now.

A series of footsteps interrupted Liu Yue's thoughts.

Liu Yue looked up and saw Xu Bai walk up to the locust tree and reach out to take the withered branch in his hand.

That was a strange object, an extremely precious item.

But now that Xu Bai has taken it, Liu Yue has no objection whatsoever.

If it weren't for Xu Bai, I would be dead today. It's just a strange object, insignificant.

What are your plans?

Xu Bai turned to look at Wu Tie.

Wu Tie had not yet recovered.

The battle just now was truly astonishing.

He was just an ordinary person who had never seen anything like it before.

Wu Tie only came to his senses after Xu Bai spoke.

"I intend to take the fairy sister and leave this filthy place."

Wu Tie thought for a moment and said, "As for what to do next, we'll take it one step at a time."

Xu Bai pondered for a moment and then said, "Okay."

The matter was over, and everyone had their own path to follow, so Xu Bai did not stop them.

Liu Yue looked up and said, "It's time to go."

The Ghost Hunters are always swift and decisive in their actions.

Now that the mission is accomplished, there is no need to stay any longer.

Xu Bai liked this straightforward personality.

He was about to say something to Liu Yue.

But just then, a figure suddenly appeared outside the village.
