Chapter 85

As the snow and wind danced, the snowflakes scattered on Bai Shi's shoulders, but he paid no attention to them. Instead, he faced the wind and snow, standing on the stone platform. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, a light that sent a chill through the heart, like the cold wind in this snow.

Situ, facing Bai Shi's words, did not continue to speak. His expression was cold and indifferent, like the falling snowflakes. However, he tightly gripped the sharp sword in his hand, which immediately emitted a clear, resonant sound. At the same time, his body paused as if unintentionally, and with this pause, the wind and snow around him suddenly swirled backward.

But the wind and snow did not swirl far. In the instant they swirled, Situ's sword was suddenly raised, as if activating some mysterious law of heaven and earth, causing the wind and snow to instantly stop around him.

At the same time, Situ let out a light shout. In this shout, the wind and snow that had stopped around him instantly returned to the vicinity of his sword, swirling around it like a white python.

Seeing this scene, Bai Shi's eyebrows twitched slightly. He took a step back, and with this step, his robe fluttered naturally. As his gaze focused on Situ, admiration appeared in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that this Situ, although his strength is at the Dongxuan Realm, can use sword techniques that achieve the effect of the Lingxuan Realm... transforming the air of the void into his own power," Bai Shi murmured to himself.

Like Bai Shi, Nan Chenzi, who had come to Dongchen Manor alone, also showed admiration in his eyes. He stood with his arms crossed, watching as Situ swung his sword and the wind and snow swirled around it. His head nodded slightly, but he quickly returned to his previous posture, as if expecting Situ to bring them more surprises in the next second.

However, not everyone's gaze was filled with admiration. Most people's expressions were extremely complex, especially those cultivators who had already reached the Dongxuan Realm and above. These cultivators were mostly middle-aged disciples. Seeing the wind and snow swirling around Situ's sword, they frowned slightly, speculating about the origin of this sword technique.

After all, Xichenzi, Beichenzi, and Dongchenzi were well aware that the sword technique Situ was displaying had never been seen in these manors...

For those whose cultivation was lower than Situ, their gazes were filled with sighs when they looked at him. In their eyes, he was someone who surpassed Lin Nan, the focus of this battle!

As Bai Shi's gaze focused on the swirling wind and snow, his finger suddenly pointed out. With this finger, a divine consciousness was emitted, and a rusted iron sword instantly flew out from his waist. After the iron sword appeared in Bai Shi's palm, it immediately took on Bai Shi's aura under his power, and under this aura, a cold light seemed to seep out. The moment this cold light seeped out, it made people feel a chill that was no less intense than the one from Situ's sword.

The appearance of this sword immediately made everyone's pupils constrict. Even Beichenzi, at this moment, suddenly understood something. Seeing the sword in Bai Shi's hand, the pain on her face seemed to disappear instantly. The transformation was not the same as the sternness she had in Beichen Manor, nor the calmness like Nan Chenzi, nor a sense of release. Instead, it was a more intense anger, which, in its intensity, turned into resentment!

At this moment, from her heart, she suddenly understood that this competition was destined to fail. Bai Shi's strength had already reached above the Dongxuan Realm, though she did not know it, Dongchenzi must have known. But Dongchenzi did not tell her, and before Cai Heng's battle with Bai Shi, Bai Shi did not reveal any aura of cultivation. This made Cai Heng, after stepping onto the stone platform, almost lose his life in one move, and even in that move, his dignity and face were instantly lost!

All of this was due to Bai Shi on the stone platform and Dongchenzi, whose gaze was focused on Bai Shi!

Dongchenzi's pupils also constricted suddenly, and his eyes showed a sigh. He knew Bai Shi better than anyone. He was well aware that he had not taught Bai Shi any sword techniques before, and he also knew that besides this sword, Bai Shi had another sword, the Dragon Roar Sword, the so-called... Evil King's Sword!

At this moment, he no longer seemed to care about the outcome of the competition. In his heart, a deep concern arose, a concern that Bai Shi might take out the Dragon Roar Sword during the competition, which could lead to a pursuit by these manors!

At the same time, Xichenzi's smile suddenly stopped, and his gaze was filled with sighs, as if lamenting something. Before this, he had never expected that the person who failed the test in Xichen Manor a year ago would now reach above the Dongxuan Realm. This improvement in cultivation left him utterly baffled.

But the most complex expression was on Lin Nan, who stood in the crowd!

At this moment, Lin Nan suddenly understood everything, understanding why Bai Shi had made such bold statements and the capital behind those statements. But what he did not understand was how Bai Shi's strength had broken through in such an almost insane way. This unsolvable puzzle in his mind made his heart extremely conflicted, and he used the corner of his eye to look at the people around him, as if trying to find some mysterious expression in their gazes. In reality, the reason he was using his peripheral vision was because, in front of everyone, he had said that Bai Shi was a waste of talent!

But now, everyone clearly knew who the real waste of talent was!

Amidst these complex expressions, Situ let out a light shout. With a step of his foot, the stone platform immediately shook violently. In this shaking, Situ's body shot out like an arrow, tearing through the void with the whistling sound of his sword, and he raised his sword, aiming at Bai Shi... and thrust.

With this thrust, a shadow of a sharp sword suddenly appeared in Bai Shi's field of vision. This shadow seemed to form a series, and it transformed rhythmically. As it approached Bai Shi, the shadow turned into endless wind and snow, suddenly forming a white line, which seemed to emit a chill and transformed into a python with its mouth open, as if a hissing sound could be heard.

Bai Shi, who had been standing like a statue in the wind and snow for a long time, suddenly moved as the sword approached. In the sudden change of his expression, his eyes shot out a strange light. Under this strange light, he lightly tapped his foot, retreated, and pointed his sword.

With this sword point, a spatial crack immediately appeared in front of Bai Shi. Within this crack, a pressure almost suffocating appeared, containing the power of Bai Shi's cultivation!

"Dragon Transformation Sword!"

Bai Shi let out a light shout. As he retreated, his feet moved on the stone platform in a very strange manner, making it hard to see his pattern, as if he existed both in reality and in illusion. In this movement, his body left one shadow after another on the stone platform, disappearing and reappearing at times.

As this light shout echoed, Situ's expression was no longer calm but suddenly became serious. He had never heard of this technique, and from the power in the crack, he clearly knew that Bai Shi's strength surpassed the Dongxuan Realm.

Not only had Situ never heard of this technique, but even Dongchenzi, whose eyebrows were slightly trembling, had never heard of it.

In the hearts of Xichenzi, Nan Chenzi, and even Beichenzi, although they had never heard of this technique, they believed it was personally taught by Dongchenzi. So when they heard Bai Shi's light shout and saw his strange steps and the appearance of his shadow, their gazes unconsciously focused on Dongchenzi.

"Junior Brother Dongchen... you really have a trick up your sleeve. I, your senior brother, have never seen such a strange sword technique."

Xichenzi, standing next to Dongchenzi, did not speak but communicated with Dongchenzi through divine consciousness.

"To be honest, I also do not know where Bai Shi learned this sword technique."

Although his gaze was fixed on Bai Shi and Situ on the stone platform, Dongchenzi also communicated with Xichenzi through divine consciousness. This communication was only heard by the two of them, and no one else could hear or detect it.

"Then this..."

Xichenzi paused slightly, never doubting Dongchenzi's words.

"Since you and the others left Dongchen Manor last time, Bai Shi did not stay in the manor for long. He left Dongchen Manor with Su Xuan and went to Suxing City. I believe all of this must have happened in Suxing City," Dongchenzi speculated.

Xichenzi did not continue to speak but came back to his senses from this communication and looked at Bai Shi on the stone platform, trying to find the pattern of this technique in Bai Shi's strange steps.

But as he looked, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed. In this furrow, he immediately saw Bai Shi's body fall from the sky, looking down at Situ, and point his sword.

"Dragon Transformation!"

With this deep shout, a soul from Bai Shi's true self appeared around his body. The moment this soul appeared, it immediately merged with the iron sword. In this fusion, like a resonance, the iron sword instantly emitted a piercing dragon roar. The moment this sound was emitted, the atmosphere of the entire competition became oppressive.
