Chapter 96

Bai Shi's words seemed to carry a hint of madness. He stared at the middle-aged cultivators, and a deathly aura seemed to seep from his eyes, making them shudder with fear. Although his voice was low, to these few cultivators, it sounded as if it carried the power of the heavens, echoing loudly in their eardrums!

Even so, they all trembled, glancing at each other, not daring to rashly move forward. The cultivators Bai Shi had killed earlier had already instilled a sense of unease in them.

This voice seemed to be shaking their souls, and it was as if the wails of countless souls from hell were echoing in their minds. As their bodies trembled, their eyes were filled with boundless fear.

Especially when Bai Shi uttered his last few words, these middle-aged cultivators knew that Bai Shi's cultivation was not to be underestimated. Seeing his ruthless killing, they realized that if they let him go today, he would surely come back to take their lives one day.

When fear reaches its limit, one chooses to resist!

At this moment, these middle-aged men were exactly like that. After exchanging glances for a few moments, they faced Bai Shi's deathly gaze and, with a scream, brandished their swords and charged at him.

"Fight!"

Bai Shi gritted his teeth, and the murderous intent in his eyes intensified. Seeing these cultivators charging at him, he did not retreat at all. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man who was about to reach him and swung a powerful punch.

This middle-aged man did not approach Bai Shi directly but stopped about two meters away. He suddenly shouted, and his palm grabbed at the air. Immediately, a powerful force gathered in his palm. Before Bai Shi's punch was fully extended, he struck out with his palm.

This strike immediately released a powerful force from his palm, forming a palm shadow in the air that directly hit Bai Shi. Bai Shi's face instantly showed pain, and as the sound of the impact echoed, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was thrown back by the wind and snow.

Bai Shi gritted his teeth again, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes, now bloodshot, made him struggle to stand up from the snow. He took a step forward and looked at these middle-aged cultivators.

"Continue!"

He shouted, tightly gripping the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand. Due to his weakened cultivation, he could not exert much power, nor could he control the Dragon Roar Sword well. He lacked the cultivation to resonate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and thus could not set up the sword formation he had learned in the Fire Cave.

As he took another step, his foot sank into the thick snow, and it seemed he had no strength to lift it. He paused, looking at the middle-aged cultivators who were approaching him again.

At this moment, these middle-aged cultivators finally realized that Bai Shi's cultivation was indeed greatly weakened. With a roar filled with murderous intent, the shock in their eyes turned into extreme madness, and they charged at Bai Shi again.

Bai Shi sneered, a cold and bitter smile, as if he were facing the farewell of death in the endless years of life.

As he stood, his shout had not yet been completely carried away by the cold wind when a powerful force from a middle-aged man's hand once again whistled out and struck Bai Shi.

This impact made Bai Shi spit out another mouthful of blood, and the pain on his face intensified. But he quickly controlled it, maintaining the same determination as before. His body flew several meters away, fell into the snow, and then tried to stand up again.

However, before Bai Shi could fully stand up, he saw a middle-aged cultivator suddenly raise his sword and, like an arrow released from a bow, tear through the air and charge at Bai Shi's forehead.

Bai Shi paused, then let out a skyward laugh, a laugh that seemed to sigh at the passage of time and narrate the sorrow of life. His body did not dodge, nor did he raise the Dragon Roar Sword. Instead, in this laugh, he seemed to be waiting for death, or sighing at the sorrow of life!

"Death, what fear! Today, I, Bai Shi, have killed three of you cultivators, and it is enough!"

At this moment, Bai Shi's laughter suddenly stopped. Facing the approaching middle-aged cultivator, he shouted, and his eyes instantly showed a strange light, as if the deathly aura had disappeared. His body also changed at this moment.

This change was a step backward, a step that seemed to contain all the remaining strength after his fatigue. As his foot paused, the snow around it splashed, revealing his seemingly powerful foot!

The soul around his body also changed due to a choice he had not yet spoken of in his heart.

This change was a blinding white light that appeared as his body retreated, and the shout had not yet completely dissipated. With the emergence of this white light, a powerful pressure instantly burst from the soul around his body.

"Then this time, I will take the fourth one with me!"

As this pressure seeped out, Bai Shi shouted again. This sound caused the middle-aged man's mind to ring loudly, and his body, in mid-air, suddenly froze. A sense of great danger suddenly spread from his consciousness.

Soul Burst!

This was the first reaction of the middle-aged cultivator when he felt the pressure in the air and the ringing in his mind!

At this moment, Bai Shi was choosing a soul burst, to take his life with him. If he really chose a soul burst, the middle-aged cultivator would have no chance to dodge. With just a thought from Bai Shi, his body would turn to ashes along with Bai Shi!

As the middle-aged man's body suddenly froze, a cold smile appeared on Bai Shi's lips, a smile that was even colder than before, as if it could freeze a person. Bai Shi's body also took a step forward at this moment.

As Bai Shi took a step forward, the blinding white light from his soul became even more intense, and everything seemed to happen in an instant. As the white light spread, Bai Shi's body seemed to be enveloped, like an otherworldly being, staring at the middle-aged cultivator, making his mind not only ring but also tremble violently!

Xichenzi, sensing the difference, suddenly shifted his gaze from Xichen Manor to the ground where the white light was emitted. His face, which had been pale and expressionless, now showed a sigh, but he did not stop Bai Shi.

"Perhaps... in the next second, this calamity will pass, but if you choose this, it is your choice! It is also your destiny... everything is predestined!"

Sighing, Xichenzi's eyebrows twitched. Standing in the snow, he did not continue to watch Bai Shi's changes or the intense battle in the sky. Instead, he continued to look at Xichen Manor, as if sensing something that others could not, and waiting for a change that only he knew was coming!

"Soul..."

At the same time, as the middle-aged cultivator's mind trembled, Bai Shi took another step forward. As he took this step, he immediately said this word. As the word left his mouth, his intention instantly emerged from his mind, making the soul around his body emit an even more blinding white light, almost too intense to look at!

And at this moment, just as Bai Shi opened his mouth but had not yet said the second word, his expression suddenly changed, and the word that reached his throat was swallowed. His eyes seemed to see a glimmer of... hope for life!

Because at this moment, the storage bag at his waist, without any command from him, was shaking violently. In this shaking, Bai Shi heard a roar, and a powerful force suddenly burst from his waist!
