The fog-filled Life and Death Road was steeped in the bizarre and mystical enigma of life and death.
There was endless desolation, an inverted landscape reflected in the sky, and below, three aberrations exuding a cold and terrifying aura.
Every aspect of the scenery proclaid that this place was filled with a heart-pounding terror.
But Shen Bai, surrounded by three ridian Realm Peak aberrations, suddenly said sothing so baffling it made Zhao Sheng, Zhou Qing, and the others all freeze on the spot.
If the situation hadn’t been so perilous, Zhao Sheng might have even wondered if sothing was wrong with Shen Bai’s head.
But it was clear that not only was Shen Bai perfectly sane, he was about to prove to Zhao Sheng with his actions that everything he said was true.
Beneath the gloomy sky, Shen Bai thrust his sword once more.
The Blood Red Sword Qi pulsed with a magnificent, righteous power. It was like a blood moon in the sky, yet it also carried a Suppression that sent shudders through the body.
Along with the Suppression, over a thousand streams of Sword Qi converged, condensing into a single, terrifying beam of Blood Red Sword Qi.
Although only a single beam of Sword Qi remained after the convergence, it was far more terrifying than the thousand that had preceded it.
Dao Text and shadows covered the surface of the Blood Red Sword Qi.
As the sword thrust out, it seed as if Heaven and Earth themselves paled in comparison.
The aberration wielding an array of weapons tried to intercept, its own Weapons crashing against Shen Bai’s Blood Red Sword Qi.
Its previous blocks had knocked the Blood Red Sword Qi aside, but this ti was different.
The instant the aberration’s Weapons touched the Blood Red Sword Qi, they turned into a cloud of ash.
Its montum undiminished, the Blood Red Sword Qi pierced into the half-bodied aberration’s torso at a speed the naked eye couldn’t follow.
’That thing is too disgusting,’ Shen Bai thought. ’I don’t want my eyes to be tainted, so I’ll kill it first.’
BOOM!
The Blood Red Sword Qi exploded within the half-bodied aberration. Swept up in the terrifying shockwave of Qi, the creature turned to ash.
Six wisps of Evil Qi appeared and were absorbed by Shen Bai.
Shen Bai didn’t stop. His left hand coated in golden Buddha’s Light, he executed Divine Hundred Miles, transforming into an afterimage and appearing before the aberration wielding the array of weapons.
"You like getting in the way?"
His cold voice rang out.
Shen Bai’s hand grabbed the aberration’s head, and he casually squeezed.
Empowered by his Vajra Dharma Form Fist, the Buddha’s Light covering his palm flared, becoming as fierce as fire.
CRACK!
With a sharp cracking sound, the weapon-wielding aberration was crushed by Shen Bai’s hand, dissolving into a cloud of smoke.
Behind him, the thirty-foot-tall Dharma Golden Body threw its head back and roared at the sky.
The terrifying Buddha’s Light, filled with a murderous aura, made it resemble a Furious Vajra as it hamred down on the last aberration.
The twin fists of the Dharma Golden Body descended, viciously hamring the aberration with a head like a millstone.
A violent tremor ran through the air as the millstone-headed aberration was struck by the Dharma Golden Body’s fists and shattered into countless fragnts.
In the span of three breaths, three ridian Realm Peak aberrations were reduced to drifting ash.
Eighteen wisps of Evil Qi appeared and were absorbed by Shen Bai.
The scene fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.
The aberrations’ auras vanished without a trace, and an uncanny tranquility descended, as if nothing had ever happened.
Zhao Sheng and the others stared, completely dumbfounded at the scene before them, utterly stupefied.
A single scene replayed endlessly in their minds.
Sword Qi, Buddha’s Light, Golden Body, Dao Text, shadows...
Wreathed in these various phenona, Shen Bai was like a Demon God descended from the heavens, tearing to shreds the aberrations that blocked his path.
The terror he inspired was even greater than that of the aberrations themselves.
Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but swallow. "He’s really your brother?"
When Zhou Qing first wanted to introduce them, Zhao Sheng had been perfectly aware that Zhou Qing wanted Shen Bai to leverage his connections for an easier ti in Fenglin State.
Zhao Sheng hadn’t minded doing his subordinate a favor, since he saw potential in Zhou Qing.
Afterward, Zhao Sheng t Shen Bai, and frankly, his impression wasn’t good. Shen Bai had sounded far too arrogant.
A re Five Organ Realm cultivator claiming that three ridian Realm aberrations were a cakewalk? Wasn’t he just asking for a beating?
Zhao Sheng had even assud that Shen Bai’s status as a special recruit had gone to his head, making him arrogant.
But now, Zhao Sheng suddenly felt that perhaps he had been mistaken.
Even Zhao Sheng himself would have had no guarantee of victory against those three ridian Realm aberrations.
He would probably need to use his soldiers in a Military Array just to have a chance at killing them.
And yet, terrifying aberrations of that caliber had been finished off by Shen Bai in the span of three breaths.
’So I was the frog in the well all along.’
This wasn’t a case of Shen Bai needing to ride his coattails; it was more like he should be the one trying to get in Shen Bai’s good graces.
And what Shen Bai had said earlier wasn’t arrogance; he was simply stating a fact.
What fact?
The fact that he truly didn’t see the three ridian Realm aberrations as any big deal. It was as simple as that.
Zhao Sheng could even feel cold sweat beading on his forehead.
’As expected of a special recruit,’ a thought surfaced in his mind.
Zhou Qing was also stunned. ’Lao Shen... he’s already this powerful?’
As Shen Bai’s good friend, he had exchanged letters with him. He knew Shen Bai was a special recruit and seed to be doing well for himself in Fenglin State.
But he had never imagined that Shen Bai, while in the Five Organ Realm, could actually defeat opponents from the ridian Realm.
That was like asking a child to beat up a grown adult—a complete impossibility.
Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward was one thing, but when the gap being crossed was a major watershed between realms, the feat was simply on another level.
Zhou Qing had thought himself quite strong for reaching the Five Organ Realm Peak in a short amount of ti, but he never expected this brother of his to be a complete monster.
