Earlier, when Xiao Chen took Bai Qiuran's punch head-on, the expressions of the surrounding disciples changed. However, when Bai Qiuran's aura erupted, the surrounding disciples instantly changed their minds.
After all, Bai Qiuran had made a name for herself in the Taiyang Sect of Heavenly Yin for many years, and she was the Chosen of the Saint Ranking. Xiao Chen, on the other hand, was just a nobody. Therefore, these disciples naturally thought more highly of Bai Qiuran.
Her terrifying aura spread wildly. At the same time, the Law of Lightning around her became denser. One could even see bolts of lightning crisscrossing around her.
Facing Bai Qiuran who had made up her mind to kill Xiao Chen today no matter what, Xiao Chen's expression did not change. At the same time, a terrifying aura burst out of his body.
This aura was not much weaker than Bai Qiuran's aura. The two could be said to be evenly matched. Sensing the aura in Xiao Chen's body, Bai Qiuran's expression became even more anxious. At the same time, the killing intent in her heart became even denser.
He must die. Today, she must kill Xiao Chen here. Otherwise, he would be a great threat in the future.
With that in mind, Bai Qiuran's storage ring flashed with light, and a short knife appeared in her hand.
The short knife's shape was very strange. It looked like a dagger, but the head was flat and only had one edge. It was very short. At the same time, Bai Qiuran held the knife in a reverse grip.
This was the first time she had seen such a weapon. However, before Xiao Chen could react, Bai Qiuran had already attacked. She slashed with the short knife in her hand and shouted coldly.
"White Water."
The knife technique Bai Qiuran used was called the Bai Clan's Three Blades. It was the Bai Clan's top martial technique. It was at the mid-grade saint level. It was a minor level higher than Xiao Chen's Nine Sifting Sword Qi and Fish Intestine Sword Finger.
White Water was the first of the Bai Clan's Three Blades. As soon as the knife was unleashed, Bai Qiuran's spiritual energy frantically surged towards the blade. At the same time, the Law of Lightning rapidly gathered.
A moment later, a white saber light streaked across the sky. It was shaped like a white fish.
At first glance, Bai Qiuran's attack didn't exude any terrifying aura, but Xiao Chen, who was facing it directly, sensed a fatal danger from it.
Therefore, Xiao Chen did not have time to think too much. With a thought, the Dustless Sword appeared in his hand. He suddenly slashed out with the Nine Sifting Sword Qi.
Two Saint Rank martial skills collided. However, Bai Qiuran's Three Swords were at the mid-rank of the Saint Rank while the Asura Sword Qi was only at the low-rank of the Saint Rank. So, Xiao Chen knew from the very beginning that a single strand of Asura Sword Qi would definitely be unable to stop Bai Qiuran's attack.
After the first slash, Xiao Chen did not pause at all. He slashed out two more times in succession. A total of three strands of Asura Sword Qi shot towards Bai Qiuran's white fish.
The three strands of Asura Sword Qi would definitely be able to stop Bai Qiuran's attack, Xiao Chen thought. However, to his surprise, after the two attacks collided, Xiao Chen's three strands of Asura Sword Qi were easily destroyed by Bai Qiuran's attack.
Shock flashed through Xiao Chen's eyes. He could not believe it. How was this possible? Even if Bai Qiuran's Three Swords were at the mid-rank of the Saint Rank, three strands of Asura Sword Qi should not be unable to stop a single attack.
There was no time to think because Bai Qiuran's attack had already broken through Xiao Chen's three strands of Asura Sword Qi and was heading straight for Xiao Chen.
He had no choice but to raise his sword to block. The Dustless Sword and Bai Qiuran's blade collided. Because he had already used three strands of Asura Sword Qi before, he had not been able to stop the attack, but he had indeed lost a lot of power.
After coming into direct contact with Bai Qiuran's attack, Xiao Chen finally sensed the power of the attack. Furthermore, he could roughly guess why the three strands of Asura Sword Qi could not stop Bai Qiuran's attack.
It was not because of the difference in martial skills, nor was it because of the difference in grade. It was because of the power of laws.
Bai Qiuran's Law of Lightning was clearly much more powerful than Xiao Chen's Laws of Force and Laws of Speed.
The reason the three strands of Asura Sword Qi hadn't been able to stop Bai Qiuran's attack was because the gap between their Laws was truly too obvious.
Xiao Chen's Asura Sword Qi was enhanced by the Laws of Force and Laws of Speed while Bai Qiuran's Bai Qiuran was naturally enhanced by the Laws of Lightning. Their Laws weren't equal at all. That was why even though Xiao Chen had successively executed three strands of Asura Sword Qi, he was still unable to stop Bai Qiuran's attack.
In the end, he was able to stop Bai Qiuran's attack safely. However, Bai Qiuran started laughing coldly when she saw this.
"An ant will always be an ant. Xiao Chen, do you think you can fight me just because you've broken through?"
"Do you know that there are countless people in the younger generation of the Central World who have broken through to the perfection-stage of the Dao Emperor Realm, but only 108 of them were able to ascend onto the Hallowed Rankings in the end. The gap between them isn't something that can be made up for with a similar level of cultivation. So, so what if you've broken through to the perfection-stage of the Dao Emperor Realm? Do you think you possess the strength to go against me? "
Bai Qiuran had naturally discerned Xiao Chen's strength. To be honest, it had exceeded Bai Qiuran's expectations, but it wasn't to the point that Bai Qiuran was helpless against him.
After all, there were only 108 Chosen on the Hallowed Rankings in the entire Central World. If he could go against a Chosen on the Hallowed Rankings by merely equaling their cultivations, then wouldn't it mean that the Chosen on the Hallowed Rankings were trash?
Bai Qiuran shouted coldly. Xiao Chen was filled with a myriad of emotions when he heard this. Xiao Chen wasn't too far behind Bai Qiuran in terms of cultivation, but it was different in other aspects. For example, Bai Qiuran was clearly much stronger than him in terms of the Laws.
"The Laws …" Xiao Chen muttered inwardly. He didn't expect to be at a disadvantage in terms of the Laws in the end. Of course, this was to be expected. After all, a cultivator's strength wasn't just judged by their cultivation.
Bai Qiuran struggled to block Bai Qiuran's attack. Seeing this, Bai Qiuran didn't give Xiao Chen any time to catch his breath. She immediately charged at Xiao Chen with her blade in hand.
Bai Qiuran sneered at Xiao Chen, her eyes overflowing with killing intent. "Xiao Chen, I won't make the same mistake twice. I must kill you today. I won't give you the slightest chance."
Bai Qiuran had listened to Bai Qiuyue's words and given Xiao Chen half a year's time for nothing. In the end, not only did she fail to eliminate Xiao Chen, but she also lost Bai Qiuyue's life. At this moment, Bai Qiuran understood that eliminating Xiao Chen was an urgent matter. She couldn't give Xiao Chen the slightest chance or time. This guy's speed of improvement was too terrifying.
