Chapter 258: Chapter 257: Leaving the City, Annihilation! (Please Subscribe) "Peak of First-class Expert, Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation Perfection. Now, my strength had truly reached a point where it could no longer rise any further. Next, what I needed to consider was advancing further, reaching the Martial Arts Innate and Immortal Technique Enlightenment realms." Bai Ziyue thought to himself, slightly frowning. *The increase in strength certainly brought him joy, but what he desired to witness more was the scene beyond Innate, beyond Enlightenment.* "With my current Peak of First-class Expert realm, I indeed possessed the strength to break through to the Martial Arts Innate. Moreover, I lacked nothing of the Innate Pill, which ensured the breakthrough to the Innate Realm. But my preparations still felt somewhat insufficient. Besides needing some auxiliary Spirit Pills to prevent excessive depletion of qi and blood, and inner strength causing harm during the breakthrough, my control over power still felt somewhat unsteady. A great battle was precisely what I needed to thoroughly stabilize it." As Bai Ziyue’s eyes narrowed, he finally stood up, and systematically collected all the Array Discs and Array Banners within the room and courtyard. Once the array was lifted, Bai Ziyue beckoned to the Little Black Dog and walked straight out of the door. If he guessed correctly, there awaited a great battle for him outside! ... At noon, with the sun blazing high. Bai Ziyue rode on the increasingly robust Little Black Dog, slowly heading towards the outside of the city walls. He wore white clothes, his expression calm, watching with interest at the flow of people coming in and out. A woodcutter with a child around ten years old stepped through the city walls from afar. The woodcutter’s tension and caution, the child’s longing, and hesitation fleetingly reminded him of his past self. A group of Martial Artists, boasting loudly about their achievements, walked with knives hanging at their waists, wanting to extend them out, as if this was the Jianghu. An old and a young herbalist, carrying herb baskets and hoes, stepped outside the city gate. Their auras were unremarkable, but their steps were extremely steady, clearly possessing martial skills. The flow of people was very dense. Nevertheless, whoever it was, upon seeing Bai Ziyue riding on Little Black Dog, could not help but reveal a glimmer of admiration and awe in their eyes. Gradually, the flow of people thinned. Bai Ziyue’s figure also appeared three miles outside the city gate. From a distance, he could still see those patrolling figures atop the city walls. "Could they not resist any longer?" Bai Ziyue let out a low sigh. Suddenly, a beam of sword light erupted from his side, swift to the extreme, directly aiming at his throat. A silver iron hook shot out like lightning, targeting his back. A long spear stabbed out obliquely, its terrifying glow making the void ripple. In an instant, three figures with the prowess of Second-class Experts struck simultaneously, swift and lethal to the utmost, aiming at his vital spots. "But your strength was too low!" Bai Ziyue said, facing the attacks of the three great experts, seemingly indifferent. Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! A Golden Bell fell with a roar, directly shielding the front of him. The lethal strikes of the three great experts all landed on the Golden Bell. Dong! Dong! Dong! It sounded like grand bells and drums, emitting earth-shattering resonance. As the void trembled, the great bell remained unmoved, undamaged. "A protective technique? How could it be this strong?" One person exclaimed, only to suddenly feel darkness before his eyes. Raising his eyes, he saw a black long sword slowly cutting towards him. "Such a slow strike posed no threat to me..." *Just as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly felt a fierce, overbearing intent, as if it could cut gods and demons of all heavens, surge forth, leaping into his mind.* Boom! The void echoed, yet Bai Ziyue’s long knife had not struck him, but he was already bleeding seven holes, the knife intent that erupted, literally shaking him to death. Meanwhile, Bai Ziyue’s hand suddenly lifted, slightly grasping, lightly gripping the sword light that emitted continuously. Clang! Clang! Clang! The sword light chaotically darted within his grasp, emitting sounds akin to clashes of steel. Bam! With a pinch and twist of Bai Ziyue’s fingers, the Sword-Level long sword snapped, followed by a flick of his fingers, the sword tip transformed into a white beam, flying out instantly. Whoosh! The swordsman’s eyes widened, his pupils filled with an incredulous horror, before falling straight down. "Not good!" The last Martial Artist holding the long spear, realizations blooming in his eyes. Upon noticing the terrifying surge of the Golden Bell aroused by Bai Ziyue, he immediately sensed something was amiss. First-class Expert! This so-called Young Master Bai was not the Second-class Expert peak warrior they initially expected, but a genuine First-class Expert. The thought flashed, his complexion turned deathly pale, without any hesitation he turned to flee. With the strength of the three of them, dealing with a Second-class Expert peak warrior was still possible, but a First-class Expert, that was too strong. Even with three, even adding two more, he had no confidence at all. "Hmph!" Bai Ziyue coldly snorted, his palm slightly opened, fingers flexing, seeming slow, yet fast to the utmost, slowly slapping out. As the palm imprint emerged, the void seemed to freeze, a massive palm print entirely condensed by inner strength formed instantly, then crashed down. ``` Immortal Martial Hand Seal! Boom! "Ah..." The piercing scream echoed, accompanied by a series of sharp cracking sounds of bones shattering. The enormous handprint directly crushed the ground, sinking it significantly, embedding his corpse deeply into it. Almost in an instant, the three martial artists who had launched the sudden attack, all of whom were at least second-class experts, were completely annihilated, killed by his counterattack. "Hiss..." The incident happened so abruptly that many people were somewhat bewildered and couldn’t comprehend what had taken place. It wasn’t until Bai Ziyue launched his counterattack, leaping like a rabbit and landing like a crane, that the three great experts were killed in return. Only then did they vaguely understand, and then they were infinitely shocked. "Those three seemed to be the three elders of the Hexagram Gang, all at the martial arts realm of second-class experts. And now, they’re just dead like that? Who on earth is this person?" In the distance, an old man and a young boy, who had intended to gather herbs, stopped in their tracks. The old man asked in surprise. "Grandpa, could that young man who looks not much older than me be a first-class expert?" The boy stared wide-eyed at the figure in white on the dog’s back. "Not only is he a first-class expert, but he’s no ordinary first-class expert. I estimate he’s far more formidable than some renowned first-class experts in East City County. His protective inner power alone is not something an ordinary person could master, let alone his ability to effortlessly slay three second-class experts working in harmony." The old man remained silent for a moment, slowly shaking his head as he spoke. "Could he be stronger than you, Grandpa?" The boy asked, in disbelief. "If I were ten years younger and fighting to the death, I might dare to contend with this young man, and perhaps I could win. As for now, within three moves, I wouldn’t be able to break through his protective golden bell. Yet he could easily penetrate my inner strength defense. I would definitely lose." The old man, hearing this, shook his head and sighed. The boy was astonished, his eyes filled with traces of admiration, which then fell on the distant figure clad in white, as pure as snow, remaining as calm as ever. ... "My strength had indeed grown much stronger than before. Three second-class experts, if it were my former self, even if I could resolve it, it certainly wouldn’t be this easy." Bai Ziyue thought to himself, his expression remained calm. He was already able to crush martial artists of this caliber when he was at the peak of the first-class expert level. It just wouldn’t have been this effortless. "But, if my calculations are correct, these three were merely probes. The real enemies are about to reveal themselves." Bai Ziyue thought, suddenly sighed, "Indeed!" A silver flying knife, like a silver streak, shot across the air. Following the flying knife was a figure in a brocade robe, with eyes as cold as ice. "Li Wei, the Bloodletting Flying Knife Gang Leader of the Hexagram Gang." "Duck!" Bai Ziyue’s eyebrow rose, and he slapped the head of the Little Black Dog. This flying knife wasn’t targeting him but the head of the Little Black Dog beneath him. "Roar!" Little Black Dog hunched down, anger gleaming in its eyes. It roared, spitting out a pale white light. However, the silver flying knife was too fast. It evaded the light of the Treasure-Setting Divine Light and slammed heavily onto the protective golden bell of Bai Ziyue. This flying knife was deviously vicious, targeting both the Little Black Dog and Bai Ziyue, hitting two targets with one arrow. Buzz! The golden bell rang, like the great bell struck daily in an ancient monastery, its sound resonating through the void, spreading for thousands of miles. But that was all. This silver knife, too, proved fruitless and fell to the ground after its power was exhausted. The boxing mark shot skyward, transforming into countless fist shadows, striking out fiercely. The boxing mark was majestic and overbearing, as if the heavens above and the earth below; any existence facing this punch had to bow, unable to resist. "Wang Zheng, Iron Fist Invincible!" Bai Ziyue’s eyebrows twitched slightly, a hint of comprehension flashed in his eyes. Aside from the Chen Family, only those who entered East City County with him knew about his possession of the Innate Pill. And they all originated from the Four Seas Escort Agency. As the Chief of the Escort at the Four Seas Escort Agency, it wasn’t difficult to gather information about him from Zhang Zhen and others. That the opponent would make a move was not beyond his expectations. "Twang!" The long spear moved like lightning, the spear thrusting like a dragon. A long spear stabbed straight out, seemingly simple but appearing to have endless variations. The spear tip trembled, as if capable of infinite transformation, determining the life and death of all things. And at the instant the spear tip thrust out, a mass of orange-red flames shot out like a sharp sword. The scorching aura could incinerate everything, even distorting the air, as if unable to endure such terrifying heat. "Situ Ming, Vice Sect Leader of the Righteous Sect, Heart-Burning Flame Spear."
