Chapter 89

The power that surged from the sleeve of Beichenzi was as formidable as most of her cultivation, causing a whistling sound that pierced through the wind and snow, tearing through the void and emitting a powerful pressure.

This pressure made Bai Shi, who was attacking the middle-aged man, suddenly pause, his eyes widening in surprise. This surprise instantly turned into shock, making him abruptly turn around. As he saw the power approaching, he swiftly raised the Dragon Chant Sword in his hand, and immediately, the power was met with a single slash.

*Peng!*

Almost the instant Bai Shi swung the Dragon Chant Sword, the power from Beichenzi had already collided with it. Upon impact, the illusion on the Dragon Chant Sword suddenly transformed into a thread of green energy. Amidst the booming sound, this energy rippled out rapidly.

Bai Shi's hand immediately felt a numbing shock, which instantly spread from his palm throughout his body, causing him to stagger backward and spit out a mouthful of blood. Before he could recover, Beichenzi had already taken a step forward.

With this step, a thick force immediately surged around Beichenzi's body, as if containing the essence of heaven and earth. This force, like white pillars of light, enveloped her. Her gaze was cold and stern, and as she took a step, the earth rumbled. With this movement, her right hand suddenly swung, and a sharp, gleaming sword appeared in her palm.

As the sword appeared in Beichenzi's hand, her other foot stepped forward, and her entire body was propelled into the air, hurtling toward Bai Shi.

In that moment, time seemed to slow down!

Just as Beichenzi's body suddenly approached Bai Shi, Dongchenzi, who was below the stone platform, suddenly moved. His body left a residual image in its original place and, in a flash, appeared in front of Bai Shi.

Stopping in front of Bai Shi, his eyes emitted a strange light. With this light, a suffocating pressure erupted from his body. Under this pressure, he swung his palm at the sword Beichenzi was wielding. This palm strike seemed to contain a destructive force, causing Beichenzi's eyes to widen in shock.

The moment this palm strike collided with the sword in Beichenzi's hand, a booming sound echoed, and both the wind and snow in the air, as well as Beichenzi's body, were pushed back.

Pain appeared on Beichenzi's face. Her body landed below the stone platform, leaving a trail of footprints in the snow before she finally stood still, then looked up at Dongchenzi on the platform.

"Dongchenzi... you!" Beichenzi said sternly.

Xichenzi stood below the platform, silent. He took a deep breath, as if making a difficult decision. In reality, he knew that this battle was inevitable.

Beichenzi took a step forward and continued, "Dongchenzi, you are protecting your disciple. You clearly know that the sword in Bai Shi's hand is the Evil King's sword!"

As Beichenzi's words fell, a wave of agitation swept through the crowd. This agitation stemmed from the mention of the Evil King, a figure that the disciples had long heard about and harbored a deep-seated fear of.

Dongchenzi remained silent, coldly watching Beichenzi, neither denying nor confirming her words.

Even Bai Shi, upon hearing Beichenzi's words, was startled. His eyes widened in surprise as he focused on the Dragon Chant Sword in his hand. Even though he possessed the Dragon Chant Sword, he had never known that it was the Evil King's sword!

"Bai Shi's soul has been consumed by the Evil King's soul. This person must be eliminated, or else, it will inevitably lead to a bloodbath in the future!" Beichenzi continued sternly.

These words reached Su Xuan's ears, and he, who had been calm, now looked at Bai Shi with concern.

He knew Beichenzi's character well, and he knew that she would not say such things lightly.

"Bai Shi's soul has not been consumed by the Evil King's soul!" Su Xuan quickly interjected, his voice filled with worry.

"This is not your place to speak!" Beichenzi roared, and with this roar, a force erupted from her body, rushing toward Su Xuan. Standing there, Su Xuan suddenly felt a闷痛 in his chest, groaned, and took several steps back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Bai Shi was startled and immediately turned his gaze to Beichenzi. His eyes were filled with intense killing intent, and as he gripped the Dragon Chant Sword, a fire of rage burned in his eyes. He said sternly, "Beichenzi, you won't even spare someone as weak as me... It seems that no matter whether the sword in my hand is the Evil King's sword, this battle is inevitable!"

As he spoke, Bai Shi took a step forward. The soul within him roared again as he stepped forward, manifesting around his body. His shoulder-length hair fluttered, and a powerful force radiated from his body, spreading through the void and making everyone who sensed it feel a surge of anger.

"No wonder the sword spirit of Xichen Manor soared to the sky that day... It turns out that the Evil King's sword, which Master used to suppress the fortune of this Chen Mountain Range, has been removed. Senior Brother Dongchen, I advise you not to protect Bai Shi anymore."

Nanchenzi, who had been silent, stepped forward and said.

Dongchenzi looked at Nanchenzi and said, "It seems that Junior Brother Nanchen also does not believe that Bai Shi's soul has not been consumed by the Evil King's soul. Since that is the case... I, Dongchenzi, will protect Bai Shi today."

As Dongchenzi's words fell, a pressure immediately radiated from his body, instantly spreading throughout Dongchen Manor, making the already oppressive atmosphere even more suffocating.

"If that is the case, then Senior Brother Dongchen... do not blame me, Junior Brother Nanchen, for disregarding our past friendship!"

Nanchenzi roared, and immediately, he swung his palm forward. As his palm opened, a white light flashed in his palm, and a sharp, gleaming sword suddenly appeared.

The moment the sword appeared, Nanchenzi took a step forward, and his body suddenly soared, swinging the sword at Dongchenzi.

As the sword was swung, Dongchenzi did not dodge but stood there, his gaze indifferent.

The sword, however, directly pierced Dongchenzi's arm, and blood flowed from the wound, causing his eyes to open wide, filled with a cold, intense killing intent.

This scene made Nanchenzi, who had pierced Dongchenzi's arm with the sword, jump back in shock.

It also made Bai Shi, who was behind Dongchenzi, feel an even more intense anger.

"Why didn't you dodge!" Nanchenzi's voice trembled.

Dongchenzi laughed coldly and said, "This sword has severed our past friendship! Now, if you want to fight, then let's fight!"
