Chapter 10

Bai Ye turned around and rushed towards the remaining person.

The group of Juehun Sect disciples were enraged, and the leading inner sect disciple, Guan Chengfei, was particularly furious. He did not hesitate to attack Bai Ye.

But he was a step too slow.

Bai Ye swung his sword, the blade severing the person's carotid artery, and then took a step back.

Four people fell in this manner.

Guan Chengfei's attack missed, but he did not rush forward. Instead, he signaled the others to surround Bai Ye.

"Capture him!" Guan Chengfei roared.

Bai Ye raised his sword, forcing those who approached to retreat, and said coldly, "Aren't you going to ask what happened?"

"Do I need to ask? You ignored the bond of fellow disciples, killed your fellow disciples, and betrayed your master. You deserve to be punished!" Guan Chengfei shouted.

"These few people tried to take my life first."

"I didn't see that. I only saw you kill them with my own eyes," Guan Chengfei gritted his teeth.

Didn't see? These people should be accomplices of those four.

Bai Ye snorted coldly, "This is self-defense. Moreover, even if I am guilty, it's not your place to decide."

"I indeed have no authority, but I witnessed this with my own eyes. I will take you to the elders to be judged!"

"Fine!" Bai Ye laughed without fear, "Let's go. I am alone, just joined the sect, while they were four. I want to see if the elders will believe I provoked them."

"You..." Guan Chengfei's face changed.

If this matter is brought up, it would be hard to judge Bai Ye guilty. After all, the elders are not fools.

"What? Not going to the elders?" Bai Ye asked.

Guan Chengfei clenched his teeth, his gaze cold, "What's your name?"

"Bai Ye!"

"Bai Ye? Good, I remember this name! I'll let you off today, but this matter won't be over. Be careful!"

"..."

Returning to the sect, Bai Ye immediately exchanged 'Qinlancao' and 'Snake Pill' for thirteen 'Fahundan' and took the snake gallbladder himself.

These 'Fahundan' would help him break through. Bai Ye returned to a secluded spot on the back mountain, sat cross-legged, and activated his Heavenly Soul. He took a pill every half incense stick, and soon his body became unbearably hot, and the soul power released by the Heavenly Soul began to tremble.

Pfft.

A wave of energy burst from the top of his head.

"Sixth Rank!"

This Heavenly Soul of the Taotie was indeed extraordinary, absorbing soul power at an extremely fast rate.

After digesting the remaining 'Fahundan,' Bai Ye went to the back mountain to practice the 'Flash Sword Technique.'

Cultivating the soul cannot be neglected, but neither can the cultivation techniques. Any skill requires constant practice.

But soon, footsteps approached.

Looking closely, it was Guan Chengfei and his group who had just left.

So soon to settle the score?

Bai Ye became alert and saw Guan Chengfei take a small sword from his waist and throw it at Bai Ye's feet.

"A Gambling Sword Order?"

"Bai Ye, I heard you are about to duel with Senior Brother Mo Qinghong on the Dragon Tiger Platform? I don't know where your confidence comes from, but the deaths of Li Qing and Meng Ran must be explained. Otherwise, what face will I have? If you have the guts, accept my challenge. Tomorrow on the Dragon Tiger Platform, we will gamble!"

"Tomorrow?"

"What? Feeling rushed? I'm afraid you will be defeated by Senior Brother Mo and die without a full body. I won't have the chance to settle the score with you." Guan Chengfei sneered.

"You talk about revenge, but you know they provoked me first."

Bai Ye picked up the sword order and said calmly, "But since you challenge me, I accept."

"Good, indeed straightforward! See you tomorrow! Tomorrow, a life-or-death battle, either you die or I die!" With that, Guan Chengfei turned to leave.

"Hold on." Bai Ye called out.

"What? Afraid?" The group laughed.

Bai Ye shook his head and threw the sword order back, saying calmly, "Why wait until tomorrow? Let's go to the Dragon Tiger Platform now!"

Everyone was stunned, looking at Bai Ye in disbelief.

"Huh?" Guan Chengfei was taken aback, "Now? Don't you need to prepare?"

"What preparation do I need to deal with you?" Bai Ye sneered.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Guan Chengfei was slightly flustered but could not back down.

Is he so confident? Is he trying to scare me? I am an inner sect disciple, and he is just a new member!

He nodded and sneered, "Fine, an early release is good for you. Let's go!"

The group headed for the Dragon Tiger Platform.

The Dragon Tiger Platform was located in the center of the Juehun Sect, surrounded by the statues of the first four generations of sect leaders, towering and majestic. Every disciple passing by felt a sense of respect.

As the group approached the Dragon Tiger Platform, they immediately drew the attention of the disciples on the side, and more people gathered around.

The two of them dripped blood on the sword order and inserted it into the imprint on the platform. Immediately, a golden light shot up.

"Golden Seal? It's a Golden Seal! Someone is about to have a life-or-death duel!"

People around were shocked and exclaimed.

A life-or-death duel is the highest form of conflict resolution within the Juehun Sect. Once it is set, the sect will not intervene, no matter what happens on the Dragon Tiger Platform!

Guan Chengfei leaped onto the platform like a meteor falling to the center.

"It's Guan Chengfei!"

"Again this guy. He is at the Sixth Rank of the Soul Power Realm, forming gangs within the sect, bullying new members. If anyone resists, he challenges them to a duel. This year, he has already crippled three fellow disciples."

"Who provoked him this time? This is a life-or-death duel."

People discussed and were visibly shaken.

Bai Ye pushed through the crowd and stepped up.

Guan Chengfei's eyes were filled with malice, "Once on the Dragon Tiger Platform, your life is in my hands. If you kneel and beg for mercy now, I will only cut off your arms and cripple your cultivation, sparing your life. What do you say?"

"Get lost." Bai Ye said calmly.

"Arrogant fool!" Guan Chengfei was enraged, his soul power surging as he punched at Bai Ye. The force of the punch was like a surging river.

"Who is the fool?" Bai Ye stood still, letting the punch come.

Thud!

The punch hit his chest, but the force immediately dissipated. Bai Ye remained unmoved, calmly looking at Guan Chengfei.

"Is that all you've got?" Bai Ye said calmly.

"Huh?" Guan Chengfei was taken aback and quickly threw another punch, gathering more strength.

But the moment his punch left Bai Ye's chest, an internal force burst out, hitting Guan Chengfei's fist.

Guan Chengfei was forced back several steps. Bai Ye snorted and stepped forward, delivering a fierce punch to Guan Chengfei's face.

Guan Chengfei flew back, landing over ten meters away, hitting the imprint on the Dragon Tiger Platform.

Thud!

A dull sound.

The crowd erupted.

Bai Ye was hit, but Guan Chengfei was the one forced back. What happened?

Guan Chengfei got up, his eyes filled with shock and anger. The impact from his fist had not dissipated, as if tearing at his hand.

What kind of technique is this?

Bai Ye walked closer.

Guan Chengfei gritted his teeth, reached for a soft, flexible sword at his waist, and covered it with soul power, making it glow. He swung it like a venomous snake.

"Die!"

"Is that all you've got?"

Bai Ye suddenly bent his body, dodging the attack. As he dodged, a cold light flashed in his hand.

Sword!

Bai Ye drew his sword!

But in that split second, many people did not even see the shadow of the sword.

Guan Chengfei's body immediately stiffened. A moment later... pfft.

His hand holding the sword flew off, blood splattering everywhere.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Guan Chengfei let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The crowd gasped.

Guan Chengfei had met his match. After just a few exchanges, he was forced into a corner!

"This sword is good."

Bai Ye picked up the soft sword and weighed it.

"Don't kill me." Guan Chengfei kept retreating. This guy, though thin, had such a powerful body. And... he drew his sword? In that situation, how could he have drawn his sword? He probably couldn't even maintain his balance!

"If I were to lose, would you spare me? I doubt it. So why should I show mercy?"

Killing intent flashed in Bai Ye's eyes. He showed no mercy and raised the soft sword...

"Stop!"

At that moment, a voice rang out from below the platform.

Bai Ye turned to see a man in white emerge from the crowd, his face urgent. He bowed to Bai Ye, "Junior Brother, please spare Guan Chengfei. We are all fellow disciples. Let this matter be, okay?"

But before the man finished speaking, Bai Ye slashed the soft sword down.

Pfft!

Guan Chengfei's head fell to the ground.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The crowd fell silent.

The man in white's face changed dramatically, his warm expression turning cold.

Bai Ye wrapped the soft sword around his waist and walked down, his face expressionless. He did not look at the man in white but said calmly, "I noticed you when Guan Chengfei stepped onto the platform. If you truly wanted to stop this, you should have stepped forward before our fight, not when I was about to kill Guan Chengfei!"

With that, he disappeared down the path.

The man in white's face turned cold, like an ice cellar.

After a few seconds of silence, the crowd erupted, discussing who this person was.

On a distant hill, Mo Qinghong, Bai Zhixin, and others were watching from afar.

"Bai Ye can defeat Ye Qian. It doesn't seem like he got lucky," Bai Zhixin muttered.

"So what? Guan Chengfei is the weakest of the inner sect disciples. If he was not skilled enough, he deserved to die. But our Senior Brother Mo is different. A mere Bai Ye will be easily defeated."

"Exactly, this waste is about to be finished!" A few people laughed.

"This Bai Ye is indeed arrogant. Provoking me is one thing, but not even giving Lin Zhengshu any face! This Lin Zhengshu is not like Guan Chengfei. Though he is not on the Dragon Tiger List, his strength is not inferior to those on the list. Moreover, he never retaliates openly, only behind the scenes. After I cripple Bai Ye's cultivation, he will likely be finished by Lin Zhengshu!" Mo Qinghong glanced at the man in white, a slight smile on his lips.
