My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"prison Break?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Shen's face immediately darkened: "Hmph, courting death!"

The next moment, he raised his hand.

hum!

Suddenly, a clear sword cry came from inside the room.

Before Jiang Xiaobai could react, he felt an astonishing aura emanating from the room.

Immediately afterwards, a long sword burst through the door.

With a flash of light, the longsword flew directly into Pei Shen's hand.

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes widened instantly.

Good heavens, retrieving a sword from a distance?

That's fucking handsome!

While Jiang Xiaobai was still in shock, Pei Shen had already taken a step forward, long sword in hand.

With a light touch of the toes on the ground, he shot straight up onto the roof.

In a few leaps and bounds, it disappeared from everyone's sight.

Jiang Xiaobai stood there, still looking surprised.

Pei Shen's strength is indeed very strong!

No wonder Zhang Xinnian said that this person's strength was no less than his father's.

That ability to draw a sword from a distance is already quite impressive.

Tang Ningshuang and Zhang Xinnian exchanged a glance, their expressions also showing some shock.

Tang Ningshuang, in particular, being a fellow martial artist, naturally understood better than Jiang Xiaobai what that move just now truly meant.

Pei Shen's cultivation level is probably even higher than the rumors circulating outside.

"Let's go out and take a look!"

Jiang Xiaobai quickly came to his senses and led the way outside.

Tang Ningshuang didn't say much and immediately followed Jiang Xiaobai to his side.

Zhang Xinnian also gripped the long knife at his waist and quickly followed.

Soon, the group arrived at the outer courtyard of Dali Temple.

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai got outside, he saw that the area in front of him was already surrounded by constables from the Dali Temple.

In the center of the crowd, a burly man was gripping a constable's neck with one large hand, forcing him to retreat.

The constable's face was pale, and his feet were almost off the ground; he was clearly struggling to breathe.

The constables around him were armed, but no one dared to step forward rashly.

Pei Shen stood not far away, his long sword hanging at an angle, his robes fluttering slightly.

Release them.

Pei Shen spoke calmly.

The burly man glared at Pei Shen, his face ashen: "Release him? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Fine, you won't let me go, huh!"

Pei Shen raised his longsword, his voice calm and unhurried: "Then guess, is your hand faster, or my sword?"

"Screw you, I bet I was faster!!"

The burly man gritted his teeth, tightening his grip on the constable's neck: "If you dare to move, I'll break his neck!"

"Alright."

Pei Shen sighed: "You guessed right."

After saying that, Pei Shen casually threw the longsword on the ground.

clang!

The longsword landed with a soft thud.

Jiang Xiaobai watched from the side, his expression slightly speechless.

No... you're just going to throw it away like that?

He thought Pei Shen would unleash some earth-shattering sword strike and subdue the big man instantly.

And then... this guy just admitted it?

This is so unlike the demeanor of a master!

The burly man was clearly taken aback when he saw Pei Shen drop his sword.

But in the instant he was stunned, Pei Shen's lowered fingers suddenly lifted slightly.

hum!

The longsword on the ground suddenly sprang up.

The next moment, the longsword transformed into a streak of cold light, slashing straight at the big man's left arm.

The sword moved with incredible speed; Jiang Xiaobai only saw a blur before his eyes.

However, the big man reacted extremely quickly.

Just as the longsword was about to strike, his body jolted violently, and he roared, "Vajra Subduing Demon Body!"

boom!

A powerful burst of energy erupted from the burly man's body in an instant.

A faint layer of dark gold color appeared on the big man's skin.

The next moment, Pei Shen's long sword struck the big man's left arm, producing a sound like metal clashing.

clang!

The longsword was forcefully knocked away.

Pei Shen's expression finally changed.

The burly man's face hardened, and his hand tightened suddenly: "If you dare lay a hand on me, I'll kill him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to exert force with his hand.

The bailiff whose neck was being held widened his eyes instantly.

But it was at this very moment.

boom!

A thunderous explosion suddenly resounded throughout the entire outer courtyard.

A flash of fire.

It felt as if everyone had been hit hard in the ear by a heavy hammer.

The burly man's body froze completely in that instant.

His grip on the constable's neck loosened slightly.

A bloody hole was clearly visible between his eyebrows.

Fresh blood slowly flowed down his brow bone.

The big man turned his head with difficulty, looking in the direction where Jiang Xiaobai was.

He seemed to want to say something.

His lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The pupils first contracted.

Subsequently, it completely disintegrated.

boom!

The big man fell heavily to the ground.

The entire outer courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

The constable who had been taken hostage collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, still reeling from the brush with death.

The constables around him stood there dumbfounded.

Even Pei Shen was visibly taken aback.

A moment later, Pei Shen slowly turned his head and looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai remained calm, his hands already back in his pockets.

Zhang Xinnian stood behind Jiang Xiaobai, his throat moving involuntarily.

He knew what that explosion had been.

Even though he knew it, seeing it with his own eyes again still made his scalp tingle.

As for Tang Ningshuang, her expression at this moment was one of utter shock.

She saw it with her own eyes.

Jiang Xiaobai simply raised his hand.

Then, the burly man who had practiced the Vajra Subduing Demon Body had his forehead pierced.

What exactly was the method?

The sound of that explosion was still ringing in her ears.

Pei Shen looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and his usually calm expression finally showed some fluctuation.

"Young Master Jiang."

Pei Shen slowly spoke: "You are... a master who has entered the Ninth Realm?"

These words were spoken.

Tang Ningshuang also looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

Yes, how could one achieve this level without entering the Ninth Realm?

The problem is... Jiang Xiaobai looks frail and weak.

By any measure, he doesn't seem like someone who practices martial arts.

Could this guy have been hiding all along?

How could it be hidden so well?

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback when he heard Pei Shen's words.

Then, he cleared his throat.

"Well..."

Jiang Xiaobai said with a profound expression, "I'm not one to value cultivation levels!"

Upon hearing this simple sentence, Pei Shen's spirits lifted, and his expression towards Jiang Xiaobai became more serious: "You don't value cultivation level?"

"I once heard this from a wise man."

"That wise man once said that being too attached to one's spiritual level will only drag oneself down."

"I never expected to hear something similar from Prince Jiang today."

Pei Shen nodded slightly as he spoke: "It seems that I was too shallow. Not only is Young Master Jiang's cultivation profound, but his martial arts mindset is also far beyond that of ordinary people."

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai's lips twitched slightly.

No.

He just casually made up a statement.

Why is Pei Shen taking this so seriously?

Zhang Xinnian, standing next to him, had his head down, his shoulders almost shaking from holding back his laughter.

Tang Ningshuang looked at Jiang Xiaobai with an increasingly strange expression.

She felt that something was wrong.

But that one blow really did kill someone.

Moreover, the prisoners they killed were those who had cultivated the Vajra Subduing Demon Body.

This left her unsure whether Jiang Xiaobai was a true master or had other methods.

"However, I wonder which school that move just now came from?"

Pei Shen continued to look at Jiang Xiaobai and asked earnestly, "Why have I never heard of this before?"

"Oh, this technique is called One-Finger Divine Skill!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly and slowly extended a finger.

"One-Finger Divine Skill?"

Pei Shen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"good!"

Jiang Xiaobai said in a serious tone, "I will concentrate all my strength into a single finger."

"Finger strikes pierce the air, injuring the enemy from afar!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai gently shook his finger.

"When mastered to the highest level, a single finger strike can pierce through not only flesh and blood, but even walls of metal and stone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Shen's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Xiaobai with some excitement, saying, "If that's really the case!"

"Please, Young Master Jiang, do me a favor..."
