Chapter 320: Chapter 319 Well, Died Anyway "Inspector Bai’s strength is not to be underestimated." Zhou Xin said, his eyes a bit complex. Although he did resent Bai Ziyue for stripping him of his steward position and confiscating all the wealth he had accumulated over the years, he had to admit that Bai Ziyue’s strength was far from being comparable to an ordinary Early-stage Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master. After all, someone who could kill the Early-stage Spirit Communication Realm Great Demon, the Strong Demon Ape King, with just one sword strike, could not be simple. "Not weak indeed. However, no matter what, he is still just an Early-stage Enlightenment Realm. Facing Inspector Wang, who is at the peak of the Early-stage Enlightenment Realm, and even Inspector Wu, who is at the Mid-stage Enlightenment Realm, he is surely courting death." Guo Zhengguo sneered and said indifferently, "If Bai Ziyue were to surrender and hand over the Earth Spirit Marrow, he might still have a chance to live. But unfortunately, he chose to resist. So, whether he lives or dies will depend on the mood of Inspector Wu and Inspector Wang." The others were silent, finding no argument, their expressions complex. "Inspector Bai..." Zhong Yue called out worriedly. When he decided to offer the Earth Spirit Marrow to Bai Ziyue, it was already destined that he would stand with him through thick and thin. If Bai Ziyue won, everything would be fine, and he would receive his due rewards. But if he lost, his fate would be grim. "I thought that since we came from the same sect, there would be some camaraderie, but it seems I was mistaken. In this world, it is still the law of the jungle." Bai Ziyue shook his head and sighed, knowing that a great battle was inevitable. "Enough talk. Since you are unwilling to hand it over, we will take it by force." Wang Ming snorted coldly and, with a thought, the floating flying sword around him instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot out. That sword strike was incredibly fast. The moment it pierced through the air, it caused intense ripples, forming a very thin, long thread. As the thread connected in front of Bai Ziyue, just as it was about to pierce him, the thunderous roar of the flying sword breaking the sound barrier boomed, sharp and terrifying. "What a fast sword, what a powerful sword." Pei Zhan, who had just received the news and rushed over, was shocked and pale. Even if he was an Innate Realm Martial Artist, facing that sword strike, he would have no way to dodge it, nor could he withstand it. "This is the power of an Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master? So strong!" The crowd couldn’t help but gasp. In the spirit stone ore vein, Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters were rare, and usually, they had no chance to witness such battles between Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters. Bai Ziyue’s previous sword strike to kill the Strong Demon Ape King was too fast; the battle ended as soon as it started. Many people didn’t actually witness it. Now, they were seeing it for the first time. After that, their eyes immediately fell on Bai Ziyue. How would he defend against such a terrifying sword strike? "Die!" Guo Zhengguo smirked coldly, feeling extremely excited inside. Bai Ziyue’s eyes lifted slightly. He raised his hand, and an overwhelming aura surged forth. Then, he delivered a fierce palm strike. This palm strike seemed slow and gentle, but when it truly fell, it was like a towering Five Finger Mountain, falling from above, pressing down with such intensity that the air exploded with a roar. The flying sword under the palm strike made a sizzling sound, as if it couldn’t bear the impending disaster. "Not good!" Wang Ming’s face changed drastically. As he quickly retreated, he threw out a vine wood shield, which transformed into a gigantic board to block in front of him. But he still felt uneasy, and immediately activated several spirit talismans, forming multiple layers of defensive shields around him. Boom! The flying sword trembled slightly as it collided with the massive palm print, then its spiritual energy was exhausted and it was flung aside. The palm print, seemingly unaffected, directly struck the vine wood shield. The defensive dharma treasure of low-grade spiritual artifact level, pushed to its limit by Wang Ming, shattered like a fragile mirror upon impact, breaking into countless pieces. The palm print’s residual force continued, crushing the defensive shields one after another before overwhelming him completely. Rumble! Spirit light dissipated, revealing a deep pit, an arm’s length in depth, clearly visible to everyone. Wang Ming’s body was pressed at the bottom of the pit, covered in blood, his flesh seemingly cracked, looking utterly miserable. "How is this possible?" Guo Zhengguo was horrified, suddenly sensing something ominous. He never anticipated that Bai Ziyue’s strength would be so terrifying, even crushing the peak Early-stage Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master, Inspector Wang, with ease. Others were also shocked, their eyes dazed. "How bold!" Wu Zonghui was furious. Wang Ming had always followed him closely like a little brother. Even if the opponent was at the peak of the Early-stage Enlightenment Realm, it would take at least three or four months for him to recover. He certainly had to step in for him. Otherwise, in the entire mine area, who would respect him? More importantly, his goal had always been the Earth Spirit Marrow. How could he obtain this treasure unless he subdued Bai Ziyue? Clang! Clang! Two flying swords, one black and one white, swiftly shot out into the void, seemingly evolving into black and white beams of light. As the swords approached Bai Ziyue, the black and white swords instantly merged into one. In that instant, the already lightning-fast flying sword sped up even more. At the same time, Wu Zonghui’s figure suddenly disappeared, as if vanishing into thin air. The heavens, the earth, the entire world seemed to lose track of him. "Bai Ziyue, it’s not too late to surrender now. Considering your impressive strength, I can share some benefits with you." A voice, ethereal and seeming to come from the nine heavens above, yet also from all directions, resonated grandly. As it gathered into Bai Ziyue’s ears, it suddenly transformed into sharp blades, drilling straight into his eardrums and heart spirit. This was actually a sound wave attack technique, capable of disturbing one’s mind. "Interesting, but that’s all there is to it." Bai Ziyue raised an eyebrow in surprise, and with a move of his eyes, the spiritual eye technique was activated. Although this spiritual eye technique was just a low-tier spell, he had cultivated it to the perfection level, forming a Dharma instinct, naturally causing an earth-shaking change in the spell. Under the observation of the spiritual eye, he immediately saw a vague figure rushing towards him from another direction. Buzz! At the same time, a transparent gang qi suddenly arose from his body, enveloping him completely in an instant. Top-grade Spiritual Artifact, Golden Thread Spirit Gang Bead! Boom! The black and white swords fiercely clashed upon the defensive gang qi and, after a slight stagnation, flew backward. Although these black and white swords were of extraordinary grade, both belonging to the middle-grade spiritual artifact level, their combined force was almost comparable to a top-grade flying sword. However, the gap between middle-grade spiritual artifacts and top-grade spiritual artifacts was like an unbridgeable chasm. Even the combined swords couldn’t surpass a true top-grade flying sword, making it naturally difficult to break through the defensive gang qi of a top-grade defensive spiritual artifact. Without thinking, Bai Ziyue struck out with a palm. This palm, covering the sky and shrouding the earth, descended grandly. Under the terrifying force, it was as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart. "How could you possibly see through my invisibility technique?" Wu Zonghui was horrified, exclaiming in shock. He knew that, relying on this technique, he had escaped many crises and many beings more powerful than him had failed to notice. It was thanks to this technique that he could silently approach the former Inspector of the spirit stone ore vein, kill him, and then frame the Spirit Communication Demon. But to his dismay, his prized technique was seen through by Bai Ziyue. "Is it that hard?" Bai Ziyue responded softly, while the Immortal Martial Hand Seal continued its relentless descent. Facing the hand seal directly, Wu Zonghui finally sensed its terrifying might. Terrified, he could no longer bother with his doubts and quickly used all his strength to resist. Boom! With a thunderous impact, a clear and deep handprint, a foot in depth, appeared on the solid earth once again. Beneath the handprint, Wu Zonghui lay prostrate, his body covered in bruises, in a pitiful state. Still, his injuries were evidently better than Wang Ming’s, for he struggled and managed to get back on his feet. "Hmm? Your body’s defense power is indeed quite impressive." Bai Ziyue nodded slightly, and surges of spiritual energy once more rose around him. This time, although he had held back somewhat, the fact that the opponent was only lightly injured surprised him. "Stop, stop... I admit defeat. For the sake of being from the same sect, spare us!" Feeling the changes in surrounding spiritual energy, Wu Zonghui’s face changed, and he quickly spoke. "Admit defeat?" Bai Ziyue cast a cold glance at him and said, "Fight when you can, cower when you can’t, do you really think I am that lenient?" Boom! With another palm strike, Wu Zonghui’s body collapsed again, his entire body cracking like hard stone, with countless wounds crisscrossing, blood continuously oozing from the fissures. "Leave your storage bags and get lost!" Soon after, Bai Ziyue’s indifferent voice echoed faintly. Then, he stopped paying attention to the two on the ground and turned his gaze towards Guo Zhengguo not far away. "Inspector Bai, I..." Guo Zhengguo shivered all over, his face filled with fear. "Weren’t you discussing quite fervently just now?" Bai Ziyue’s eyes grew cold, "I rarely detest someone, but you are too reckless. Sparing you earlier was already the greatest mercy. Since you dare to show up again. Then, you must die!" As he spoke, a beam of sword light instantly shone, slicing through the air!
