Chapter 14

For Baishi, the appearance of three white lines on his fist at this moment had already surprised him greatly. Now, the signs of approaching the fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment period made him even more at a loss.

But this was just a fleeting moment. After a brief contemplation, he attributed everything to the strange pattern that had merged into his body!

The most important thing at the moment was how to deal with the person in front of him, who was at the sixth stage of the Foundation Establishment period!

The cold wind howled, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten to shiver, their eyes fixed on the energy waves around Baishi's fist, especially the white lines within those waves, their gazes filled with shock.

Baishi, on the other hand, watched Cai Heng walk over, feeling the power coursing through his body. His eyes emitted a cold light, and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, a result of the pressure brought by the power coursing through him.

At the same time, many middle-aged men and women suddenly appeared around them. These middle-aged people did not pay attention to the energy around Baishi's fist; instead, they hurriedly pulled the young people away, presumably the parents of those young people.

For them, the conflict between disciples of different sects was something they did not want their children to be involved in.

After all, offending any disciple of a sect was not a good thing.

In the blink of an eye, the originally spacious street became even more empty, with only Baishi, Cai Heng, and Su Xuan remaining!

With a cunning smile, Cai Heng took two more steps forward, now less than three meters away from Baishi.

Stopping, Cai Heng spoke again, "However... even if you were at the fifth stage of the Foundation Establishment period, I would not fear fighting you, let alone you, who is not even at the fourth stage!"

Baishi did not speak, or perhaps the power coursing through his body was pressing him so much that he could not speak. Instead, Su Xuan spoke up, "Cai Heng... today's incident is my fault, Su Xuan's fault, and has nothing to do with Baishi."

Cai Heng sneered and glanced at Su Xuan, saying, "What are you? Today's incident is because Baishi wanted to fight me. If I injure him, even if Uncle Dongchen investigates, it will have nothing to do with me!"

"You!" Su Xuan was momentarily at a loss for words in the face of this rascal.

Just as Cai Heng finished speaking, he suddenly clenched his fist. A powerful force immediately formed around his fist, compressing the surrounding air into ripples of energy. Within those energy waves, six white lines slowly wriggled!

"Foundation Establishment... sixth stage!"

It had to be said that even though Su Xuan clearly knew that Cai Heng was already a sixth-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, when he saw the six white lines wriggling, he still involuntarily drew a sharp breath!

"I, Cai Heng, will teach you a lesson on behalf of Uncle Dongchen today!" Just as Su Xuan drew a sharp breath, Cai Heng suddenly shouted. His body shot forward like an arrow, and as he swung his fist, a powerful force rushed towards Baishi, accompanied by the sound of the wind being split.

At the moment Cai Heng swung his fist, a fierce light flashed in Baishi's eyes, and he showed determination.

Facing the powerful force rushing towards him, he suddenly swung his own fist, meeting Cai Heng's fist head-on!

"Bang!"

Almost the instant the two fists collided, a loud explosion resounded, and the powerful energy waves burst forth. At the point of contact, energy ripples spread out in all directions.

And Baishi's body was directly sent flying.

The numbing sensation from his fist made Baishi feel as if his bones were breaking. The powerful force from Cai Heng's fist also caused a dull pain in his chest. After coughing a few times, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Even so, Baishi eventually struggled to his feet. He slowly opened his palm, trying to ease the pain in his fist.

Seeing this, Su Xuan ran to Baishi's side in shock and helped him up. The moment Su Xuan touched Baishi, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some subtle power slowly wriggling around Baishi's body.

This subtle wriggling power made Su Xuan, before he could show concern, cast a strange look at Baishi's face.

Baishi knew very well that this subtle power was the power that had been coursing through his body, ready to burst out at any moment, and had been forced out by Cai Heng's blow!

At this moment, Baishi was already a fourth-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Straightening his body, Baishi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The moment the blood touched his wrist, Baishi suddenly felt a powerful force, almost too strong to believe, rapidly gathering on his fist!

This gathering of power made Baishi clearly know that it was several times stronger than the force Cai Heng had swung!

Baishi knew that it must be the strange divine medicine pattern that had undergone a strange change upon contact with his blood!

A cunning smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Baishi looked at Cai Heng, speaking slowly, "At this moment, I should thank you, because your blow just now directly broke through the bottleneck I was about to break through at the third stage of the Foundation Establishment period!"

As he finished speaking, Baishi slowly clenched his fist.

The truth proved everything. The moment Baishi clenched his fist, four white lines, like earthworms, slowly wriggled within the energy waves!

Hearing Baishi's words, Cai Heng gritted his teeth. He had never expected that his blow just now would directly break through Baishi's bottleneck at the third stage of the Foundation Establishment period!

"Even if you are now at the fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment period, so what? I don't believe... my next blow will push you to the fifth stage!" In that instant, all of Cai Heng's previous arrogance disappeared. He looked at Baishi, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and clenched his fist again.

Clearly, he had not noticed the hidden powerful force on Baishi's fist.

Not only did Cai Heng not notice, but even Su Xuan, who was beside Baishi, did not notice!

Without saying more, the moment Cai Heng clenched his fist, he leaped up and swung it towards Baishi.

Baishi did not back down either. As Cai Heng swung his fist, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fist and met it head-on.

Just as the fists were about to touch, Cai Heng finally sensed the powerful force. His cold eyes instantly turned to unprecedented terror.

But it was too late!

"Bang!"

Another explosion resounded. The moment the fists touched, the energy ripples dissipated, and Cai Heng's body was sent flying several meters away!

The pain from his fist made the flying Cai Heng let out a shrill scream, which instantly filled the empty street. Blood seeped from his fist, the flesh torn, and several white bones pierced through his fist.

These white bones were not from any other weapon but Cai Heng's knuckles!

Cai Heng's fist, struck by the powerful force, was completely shattered!

Seeing this, Su Xuan drew another sharp breath. He stared at Baishi, his eyes filled with fear, which seemed to turn into worry in that moment, as if he had realized something.

"Trouble! You injured Cai Heng, Beichenzi will never let us off! Cai Heng is Beichenzi's favorite disciple. It looks like we won't be able to stay at Dongchen Manor anymore!" Su Xuan was so anxious that he seemed ready to jump up at any moment.

At this moment, he seemed to forget how a fourth-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could injure a sixth-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and instead pulled Baishi's hand, continuing, "We should go back to Dongchen Manor and ask Uncle Dongchen what to do."

Hearing this, Baishi was not worried. After all, today's incident was started by Cai Heng. He did not know much about Beichenzi, so he did not need to worry about being unable to explain himself.

But seeing Su Xuan's anxious expression, he still followed Su Xuan and hurriedly headed towards Dongchen Manor.
